[onceuponaneverafter]

i’ve started drafting my little ”beginning of ACFTL but more jacks and more angst” fic, and because so many of you showed interest in it (thank you so much!!) but i can’t get the first part out tonight, i offer you all a quote 💗

Jacks knew the weight of his actions. His choice meant that he would never be able to go back in time again. All of his elaborate plans to return to Donatella and do something differently, anything to give him another chance at love, had been for nothing now.  They also meant nothing in comparison to the fact that Evangeline was alive again.

i’m so excited to write this and share it with you all 💗

Once Upon a Happily Ever After

Pairing: Evajacks ofc :3

Genre: fluff

Word Count: 1.2k

Warnings: nada

Summary: Evangline wakes up alone in the library, so she goes on a hunt for Jacks and a particular Baby Fox.

Evangeline could hear the distant ticking of the clock as she shifted in her chair, causing it to sway a bit.  The last thing she remembered was sitting down to read, but she’d apparently fallen asleep, and she wasn’t sure how much time had passed now.  Her book was no longer in her hand or even in her lap, and a soft blanket had been draped over her.  Jacks’s doing, no doubt.

She pushed herself up slowly, causing the chair to swing even more.  Jacks had revealed himself to be a bit of a carpenter three winters before when he’d built it, attaching it to the ceiling of their library in such a way that it was almost a swing.  The chair more resembled the shape of a bowl than it did that of a swing, though, so Evangeline had never been quite sure what to call it.

Their daughter had started referring to it as the swingy seat, and Jacks had been quick to follow, agreeing that yes, the swingy seat was a perfect name.

Evangeline wondered where the two of them were now.

Once she’d managed to climb out of the chair, she tossed the blanket over it and padded down the steps.  The tavern was empty save for a few hungry guests, and Jacks was not in their room.  The only other place they could be was the garden.

Evangeline snagged her robe from the bedroom before finding her way back downstairs.  While spring had recently arrived, the cold air had still been biting occasionally, and today was one of those days.  She stepped out into the garden, her bare feet sinking into the cold dirt.  It took her a moment of scanning the garden to spot the two of them, but they were indeed out here.

Jacks was knelt in the dirt with Liana on his lap, his nimble fingers weaving flowers through her pink-streaked blond hair.  She was grinning and kicking her legs as she babbled to him, the dimple in her left cheek making its appearance every so often.

Evangline simply stood there and watched them for a second, enjoying the sight of her two favorite people.  Liana was most resemblant of Jacks, though her eye color was beginning to more resemble Evangeline’s gray than Jacks’s blue, and there was the occasional strand of pink that ran through her hair.  She’d only gotten one of Jacks’s dimples, but it was good enough for Evangeline.  Either way, their tiny girl was adorable.

“Mama!” Liana squeaked as she finally noticed Evangeline.  Her legs paused her swinging and she shifted to climb off Jacks’s lap, but his voice made her pause.

“Just a moment, Baby Fox, I’m almost done.”

Her lips jutted into a pout momentarily, reminding Evangeline of every time Jacks had pouted at her.  Liana resembled Jacks so much sometimes that it was almost uncanny.

Jacks’s fingers dropped from her hair a moment later after securing her braid.  He wrapped his hands around her waist and lifted her off his lap, setting her on her feet.

“Ok, there you go, Baby Fox.”

The tiny girl patted her hands over the flowers on her head, effectively smashing a few of them just a smidge, and then she leaned forward and pressed a kiss to Jacks’s cheek.

“T’ank you, Daddy!” she squeaked before turning back around and tripping across the dirt to Evangeline.

Evangeline scooped up the tiny girl as soon as she was close enough, settling her on her hip.

“Missed you, Mama,” she frowned.

Evangeline laughed. “Were you not having fun with Daddy?”

A brilliant grin appeared on Liana’s face then. “Was having fun with Daddy!”

Jacks strode across the garden towards them, hands in his pockets.  He tugged on the sash that was keeping her robe together, pulling her closer to him and wrapping his arm around her waist.

“How was your nap?”

She smiled up at him. “It was very good.  The blanket was your doing, I assume?”

He quirked an eyebrow. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Daddyyy,” Liana drew out. “Lying is bad!”

Evangeline smiled, nudging her husband in the ribs. “You heard your daughter.  What kind of role model are you being?”

“Not a very good one, apparently,” he replied, leaning down close to Liana. “I thought we agreed the blanket was a secret,” he muttered, poking her armpit.

She giggled and wiggled away from him. “Daddy, no pokes!”

“No poking, huh?” he asked before leaning down and nibbling softly on her shoulder, eliciting even more giggles from her.

“I thought I was the only person you were allowed to bite,” Evangline commented teasingly.

“I never said that,” Jacks intoned dryly. “I said I was the only person who could bite you.”

His fingers toyed with her sash almost absent-mindedly as he waited for her response, but it never came.  She simply smiled at him.  It took him a moment, but he smiled back, his dimples making their appearance.  She stood on her toes and planted a kiss to one of them.

“You’re cute.”

He made a noise somewhat similar to a grumble, and Liana giggled again.

“Let’s head inside, Little Fox.”

That evening was as lively as most evenings in The Hollow were.  Dinner in the tavern usually contained multiple guests, and many of them had traveled to meet the Prince of Hearts and his princess.  The Knightlingers had made Jacks and Evangeline into a fairytale that crossed borders, though the way the tale had been spun was far more outrageous than even the truth of it had been.

Evangline had become accustomed to picking bits of their story to tell, though she often left out the majority of it, leaving the rest of the holes to be filled by the gossip sheets.

After dinner, the tavern cleared out and Liana was drooping, very quickly beginning to fall asleep.  Jacks scooped her up easily and rested her against his chest.

“Is it bedtime?” he asked.

She shook her head. “Time for stories.”

He smiled and tilted his head towards Evangeline. “Story time?”

That had always been code for heading up to the library, and Jacks carried Liana easily up to the top floor, Evangeline following with a candle in hand.

“What should we read tonight?” Jacks asked once they were in the library, though he already knew the answer to that question.

“Read about Archer and Fox,” Liana responded with a giggle.

He let out a dramatic sigh. “I suppose we can do that.”

He pulled the well-read ballad off the bookshelf and handed Liana to Evangeline, trading her for the candle which he set on the table beside the reading chair.  He lowered himself into the chair next, anchoring it by putting his foot on the ground.

Evangline joined him in the chair a moment later, settling herself across his lap and letting Liana get comfortable snuggled between them.  Jacks took his foot off the ground and let them sway slightly as he leaned back and opened the book.  He cleared his throat.

“Once upon a time….”

A/N: This is my first time posting book fic so please don't bite me 😖 I might switch up the formatting later but this is how I used to do fics on my main so…

Perhaps I will make a master list soon

[annamatix]

can someone recommend caraval x ouabh crossover fics or reaction fics where they meet each other and it goes DOWN.

[fantasy-on-parchment]

Diff anon, but based off that question, how do you think jacks would react to Eva getting pregnant?

Hi!! I can’t tell if this is a request so I’m just going to assume it’s a genuine question 🤭

Minor MINOR spoiler

(Sorry for taking so long to get to you!! Requests are def backed up)

LOTS OF EMOTIONS WITH THIS ONE

I think first Jacks would probably be like 😨

I mean I don’t think he’s ever really pictured himself as a father yk? Or at least he definitely let go of any idea of it a long time ago. He’d be terrified of doing something wrong, not being what the kid (and Eva) deserves.

But knowing that he gets to have that journey with Eva 🤭🤭

I think it would just melt him honestly. I think it’d be an entirely different side of Jacks, softer even than the ending of acftl. He’d want to take care of her, truly never let her out of his sight🫣. Make sure she’s comfortable and fed and as healthy as possible while he figures out how to be a father. Now he’s got two little hearts to protect.

❤️❤️❤️

"Remember, Little Fox" made me unable to think about anything else.

oh my god same it reminds me of this fic that a member of the server made 😭😭

https://archiveofourown.org/works/43852698

they don't have a tumblr so 😭 BUT IT REMINDED ME OF THIS SO MUCH. i will never be the same. (also you can check the discord for other parts of it)

osprey hurt me as much as stephanie.

but anyways, i am so scared for acftl purely from this quote💔

[soullessstream]

Just finished the Caraval series and spent the whole afternoon creating a next gen fanfic instead of studying for my exams how cooked am I

[onceuponaneverafter]

my little ”lol what if i write my take on the beginning of ACFTL with more jacks and more angst” post is at almost 50 notes now??? you guys 🥺 sobs happily

i still haven’t had time to sit down and work on my draft so i’m posting another quote today - i haven’t posted my writing here before, so i’m giving little hints of what’s to come until i can actually post the whole thing (or part 1 at least, there might be several hehe) 💗

Suddenly, it occurred to Jacks that when he had gone back in time, Evangeline had remembered everything perfectly... until he told her to leave. He hadn’t seen her for what felt like an eternity, for too many agonizing hours. This couldn’t be what Time had taken from him in return. Something else must have happened during the night. He picked up an apple as black as the darkest night as he turned right around and headed back to Wolf Hall after swearing he would never return.

✨character development✨

[abbyzwrites]

Intro

I know I have a different intro post, but I've grown a lot in the months since I started this Tumblr, so I thought I'd introduce myself in a more cohesive way!

Hello! My name is Abby, I'm a Christian, and I love to write. I've been writing since I was a little girl, and I used to always say that I wanted to grow up to be an author. Now, I'm working really hard to hone my writing and one day achieve that dream!

I write fanfiction and original works, and I'll sometimes post about both on here. But I'm mostly known for my Legend of Zelda works, which you can find me posting about on my side blog, @abbyz-elda

Here, I post writing WIPs, reblog book-related posts, and generally geek about books and writing and all things literature.

My current WIP is titled Of Manors, Mirrors, and Magic. It is a YA/New Adult Historical Romantasy (wow that's a lot of words) with a heavy emphasis on fairytales, myths, and legends. If you're interested in learning more about it, feel free to send me an ask!

My current book interests are OUABH, Caraval, Percy Jackson, anything related to Greek myth, The Lunar Chronicles, Jane Austen, and many others!

Pleasure to re-meet all of you!
