+ @heroicallybelieving has to deal with me winging it because i haven’t (re)watched ouat in ages! :P

“Don’t y’worry none, lad. ‘M only passin’ through. Came tae this lovely little town from th’ Enchanted Forest. ‘M on a mission, y’see. ‘M lookin’ fer me siblings. We got lost. Or rather, I lost ‘em. One o’ ‘em ‘s ‘bout---” Harriet held her hand above her own head. “---tha’ height. Th’ otha’s got a head o’ blonde hair an’ ‘s ‘bout yer own height. Once I find ‘em, we’ll be on our way out.”

Peter should have guessed as much. Storybrooke was a beacon for villains, and the fact Henry had to still go to school? They should at least give the children a few days off when a villain shows off. The older boy shrugs. “I mean, I’d love to help but apparently killing your enemies isn’t allowed here.” And another thing is the fact he was magicless for now until he can get the band off his arm.

“Well.. I guess I kind of got in trouble with some people. As usual. I can’t help it. I’m bored and useless without my magic as Rumple so happily rubs in my face weekly.” Peter was probably the most powerful and dangerous villain, and he was here.. magicless, bored, and dare say a bit angry.

The two of them had been out longer than they had planned it seemed and it didn’t help that they had gone so deep into the forest, that they were lost now. Surely they didn’t travel that far from the town? She thought to herself, glancing around. After finding what appeared to be snake’s skin - from a rather large snake - they continued their trek into the forest and found more, but never a snake. Though, both of them began to suspect it wasn’t just a snake, but perhaps a monster of sorts. Just as Henry had suspected from the very beginning anyway, thus their reason for coming out here.

And because she didn’t want Henry to be alone. 

“Well, we, uh, we know that the border of the town is marked...” So people don’t accidentally go too far and lose their memories. “So, if we’ve come to that white line, we know just how far we are. And if we come to it, we can follow it to the road.” Which wouldn’t be too hard considering they knew what side of Storybrooke they were on, at least. “But if we find the river first, we’ll follow that straight to town. How about we retrace our steps this way?”

@heroicallybelieving “Henry.” Mother Superior was on a mission today. Normally she wasn’t running errands all over Storybrooke. She had business to attend to. Today, however, there had been a small package left in one of the rooms occupied by one of the nuns who had since renounced her vows and went to join life as a regular person. She missed the girl dearly, but the item was clearly marked “For Henry Mills.” Trying to track him down was never easy, but she felt happy she had located him outside of Granny’s. “It’s a little warm for hot chocolate with cinnamon. Let me guess... root beer floats?” She smiled and gave a wink. She hoped he’d never change. He was a kind boy and he was always trying to hold onto that goodness. If they could all help him, then Henry could remain a good person. That good heart of his needed to be protected and nurtured. It was that reason why she felt it important to track him down to deliver the lumpy small package wrapped in brown paper and tied with yellowed string. “I found this cleaning out her side of the dormitory. I would have given it back to her, but she addressed it to you. It looks like she meant it to be yours a long time ago.”

・‥…━━━━━━━☆☆━━━━━━━…‥・

Truth be told, now Evangeline was finding herself curious. What did the former sister intend to leave behind for Henry? “I remember. She was your teacher, wasn’t she? You didn’t remember her as Sister Mariah like we do. Then...how on earth was this hiding in the convent...?” It was a strange notion. Just how long ago did the woman leave and begin her new life? How long was it that she taught Henry? What did the curse do to them? Had she taught Henry as a nun? Did she know him before? Or perhaps this was some terrible trick that had manifested within the convent. “Do you mind if we opened it together...?” Mother Superior tugged at the string and held the item for Henry, but began to take a defensive stance. Suddenly, she wasn’t so sure this was a gift but an elaborate trap. The paper fell and she was ready to pull the object away quickly... When it was revealed to be a soft toy horse with a soldier riding upon him. He was stitched on so he couldn’t fall off, but the old knight seemed weary and battle worn. Mother Superior’s eyes widened at her sudden recollection. “...Oh. Sister Mariah...taught you that song, didn’t she? One Tin Soldier.”

Okay not to be controversial or anything, but I’m going to do Snape from Harry Potter. 

I think Snape did have a crush on Lily at some point during their time at Hogwarts, but that later in life it wasn’t necessarily romantic love. It could have been, but I like to think it was just that she was the only person in his life who had ever really been nice to him. So the love could have been friendship love, and that was strong enough to make his Patronus mimic hers. I just like the thought cause it’s sweet. 

Part of Snape being a jerk was him keeping cover. He worked for Dumbledore, and Dumbledore thought Voldemort would come back. Thus he prepared Snape to be a spy if he needed to, and that meant walking a super thin line. He had to look good enough to explain why he wasn’t fired or something, but also had to be just mean enough for him not to be questioned too much when Voldemort did return. So yes a bit of it was him being a jerk, but a lot of it was him acting how he knew he was expected to act so he could trick Voldemort. 

Snape did like Harry on some level. Yes Harry was a lot like his father, which irked Snape (cause who likes to be reminded of their childhood bully?) And yes Harry just ran into trouble in a way that grated on Snape’s nerves. But Harry was also rather nice, and he was his mother’s son. Snape wanted to find good things about Harry and he did. He just didn’t express them cause he didn’t want to blow his cover. 

I am sure there is more but that’s all I can think of atm XD

5. the back of a stolen car (henry and luna maybe?)

Oh, this hadn’t been how their adventure was supposed to end - not at all. This was all supposed to be fun, this was all supposed to be a game. But now, fear settled into her chest as Luna tried to control her breathing.

Ben chewed on his lip as he looked around the room. Just when he thought that Storybrooke was running out of new places, they somehow ended up here. Of course he wasn’t sure where here was, but he had never seen it. Looking up as Henry spoke, Ben shrugged lightly. “I don’t know, I hope that isn’t the case. But don’t worry, I’ll find a way out of here.”

‘ can i hug you? ’

“Of course you can” he opened his arms to welcome the hug from his grandson.

“I’ll come back to you. I promise!”

“Henry, wait!” Belle called out after him, reaching out to grab onto his arm but he jumped into opening before she could reach him. “Henry!” She called again into the darkness, her heart racing a mile a minute from all the running and now more so, the panic. They were investigating something in the woods for the passed few days and came across this strange passageway deep in the forest, leading underground somewhere. Belle was curious about it, as was Henry, but she was hesitant about going in simply because they didn’t know exactly what was in there and she didn’t want any danger to come to the boy. But, his own mind was made up and down he went, leaving Belle to decide her next step. As if there WAS a choice. She couldn’t just let him go on his own. She wondered about going to get Rumple, but she couldn’t leave Henry, especially not for that long, so with a heavy breath, down Belle went after him. “Henry!?”

☺ What tends to bring out your muse the most? What inspires you?

idk honestly she just shows up and starts bothering me. 

Mermaids inspire me. Like just them in general. Mythology and mythical creatures. Magic. 

It helps that I’m currently writing H2O fanfics. 

Watching the shows and generally going through the tags here on Tumblr also help. Taking long showers also does the trick for me. 

There’s not really one thing. Rikki just shows up and punches me in the face until I write tbh.

❛ I know it’s possible because everything is here. ❜ (I'm just imagining Salazar telling Henry he can't do something for some reason and Henry responds with this because Salazar is literally dead so Henry figures if Salazar can be a ghost and hunt down pirates then Henry can do anything too. IDK just thinking.)

“There are limits to everything,niño. The state you see me in is that of the damned, the forsaken- it shouldn’t inspire in you a fantastical belief in the impossible…lest you find yourself caught in a similar fate.”

He was old, yes. Was he in denial? Very much. Malcolm was getting into trouble in Storybrooke like usual. He had once again took a more childish approach to solve his problems. He was a strange man, in a town that had been cursed to be miserable, Malcolm brought some laughter back to it, well, unless the people were the sheriff.

Today he had stolen some food for himself, in his defense, the place stated: Free Samples. So he took the ‘free samples’ he wanted and skipped along, only stopping when he spotted the all to familiar boy. “Henry! Still reading that old book I see?” He grinned.

do you get along with henry?

askbox shenanigans ft. anonymous

the first time she meets him, she doesn’t know what to do; here’s this kid - about cj’s age, and harry’s height - who has emma’s keen eyes and an air about him that reminds her of her own mum. (this is before she learns who his pops is and then it all slots into place and makes sense. but we’re not quite there yet.) his smile is sweet and his words are honey on the tongue but his tongue is sharp and his wit is even sharper and harriet’s decided to go to bat for him right there and then, even though it’s decidedly not a good idea because she’s seen battles about territory and she’s seen turf wars; she’s been in some, herself, and this kid looks like he’s been through his own boatload of troubles and he looks ready to fight in any capacity.

he reminds her, a little bit, of the people that she used to know: he reminds her of jay, of gil, and hell, he even reminds her a little bit of harry. which makes it so much harder for her to default back to ‘captain mode’ as cj jokingly calls it. 

they are - in a way - both the oldest and with that comes a lot of responsibility. with that also comes a lot of baggage. (henry, she learns, had to watch his friends stay stagnant for years while he grew, and in return, she tells him about how she grew up and what she had to do to survive.) granted, she omits some of the harsher truths and bends some others, if only to make the way she grew up more palatable because it’s the least she can do for him.

it’s this push and pull that reminds her of before, before she made her way to storybrooke; before she settled in, before she realised that everything might not be what it seems in this town - squeaky clean as it looks. before she realised that she might not have a place here.

the olive branch gets extended in the form of reading x men comics down at the docks.

“ah like th’ woman wit’ th’ accent an’ th’ gloves,” is what she offers at some point and henry turns to her, smiles that brilliant smile that leaves harriet’s heart panging and her insides aching for a family she’ll never see again, for arms that’ll never hold her again, no matter how much she wants to be held. 

(she looks at him and sees her mum in the way he chuckles or defiantly juts out his chin.)

“that’s rogue,” he says and launches into such a dizzying explanation that harriet can scarcely keep up with, but she remembers the way his explanation ends. it ends with: “she’s my favorite too.” and somehow, someway harriet finds that they have more in common than she ever thought possible.

“You’ve been coughing all day, are you alright?”

SICKNESS STARTERS

“Yeah kid, of COURSE I’m fine.” She turned to look at Henry with a soft smile, she had just caught a cold and all the running AROUND caught up to her. “Give me like two days tops and I’ll be right as rain.”

15. Would you always be loyal to your loved ones even if they wronged you?

“Well....” He’d like to say yes, but then what he’d done to Milah, to Cora.... “I don’t know. But for Bae, and for you Henry? I’d always be loyal, no matter what you did.”
