Today is my 10th anniversary as a Frozen fan!

October 20th 2014 marked my first day as a fan of Frozen after watching Once upon a time season 4's first episode "A tale of two sisters" that starred Elizabeth Lail as Anna, Georgina Haig as Elsa and Scott Michael Foster as Kristoff.

As I've previously gone over in this post a long time ago, this series was my gateway into the Frozen fandom and which made me watch the movie a month later!

A big warm hug to all the friends I've made in the fandom in the past few years and here's for holdin' on tight for another ten! 😅

I am so jealous of all the food they eat in this show, like I would totally eat Regina's apple turnovers even if they were poised, that's how desperate I am. 😢😭💔

Hi, I'm looking for a Storybrooke AU fic. I remember that Zeleana cursed everyone to not have their happy endings. Somehow Killian and Henry escaped the curse and Killian can communicate with Emma through their dreams. Emma is married to Walsh who has her heart. Snow and Charming are married but hate each other. Regina is maid.

I remember reading this one a while back! I think this might be what you're looking for:

MC Fic Rec: Their Way By Moonlight

By @wistfulcynic | Rating: M

A new curse has fallen on Storybrooke and this time Emma is trapped inside it, deliberately separated from Henry and anyone else who might help her break it. But what no one knows –including her own cursed self– is that she and Killian have the ability to share their dreams, and are working together in secret to find a way to break the curse and rescue the town from a new and dangerous foe.

Read it on AO3

“There must be something you can do to get my memories back.  You’re the most powerful magician according to Henry.” Stomping around my fathers pawn shop I threaded my fingers into my long blonde hair needing his help on remembering who I truly am. 

“Jaide-Renae, this land is tricky with magic unlike the one we know as our original home.  And as we both know this is a land without magic meaning I can’t just create you a magical potion that can return your memories back to you.” 

Stomping my boots on the ground I groaned, throwing my head back.  “Papa! I - what exactly brought your memories back?” 

“Do you remember the last deal we made before the curse struck?” 

Rubbing my forehead trying to think back I came up blank.  “Um, not really.” 

“I wanted your daughter's name.  Emma’s name.  The minute I heard it everything came flooding back to me.” 

My phone made a noise showing me a text message from David saying to meet him out at the animal shelter on the edge of town.  “I have to go, papa.” 

“Good luck getting your memory back.” He responded with me closing the door and driving out to the address I had been given.  Walking around outside the building I found a surprise before my eyes seeing two horses waiting beside the man I had come to see. 

“David, I can’t believe you.  I thought you were kidding when you asked me about horse riding yesterday.” 

He slowly led one of the light brown horses over to where I was standing.  “These two never really get out much.  So I figured we could let them get some freedom for the day.  Would you like some help?” 

“Yes please.” I sent him a smirk when he held my hand and I grabbed the saddle while he helped me up so I could swing my leg over the saddle getting settled down on the horse.  “Aren’t you a real Prince Charming?” 

“Chivalry isn’t dead.” He remarked climbing on his own horse with such ease I smiled before we began our ride out into the open fields near the horse stables. 

I smiled before a light smirk crossed my lips.  “What would you say to a horse race?  First one to the graveyard wins and the loser has to put both horses up in the barn.” 

David chuckled, sending me a grin, kicking his horse and taking off quickly.  “You’re on!”

Kicking my horse in the belly he starts galloping faster as I hold tightly on the reins loving the excitement this brings me chasing after the rancher in front of me.  The wind blew through my loose hair when I passed the man getting to the edge of the graveyard before I noticed my horse starts neighing and halting in its tracks. "What is it, boy. What do you hear?" I asked brushing its mane as it sticks its nose down smelling.

Suddenly my horse shuffled its hooves backwards in terror. I pull the reins a little, searching the ground around but not finding anything. "Easy boy. It's okay." But the next thing I know my horse shrieks, bending on its hind legs throwing me off. I drop into the grass and dirt.  I grunt seeing my horse run off further away. 

He slowly walked over, dismounting his horse holding out an open hand for me to take.  “Renae! Oh gosh.  Are you hurt?” 

I stood up on my feet with his assistance before I asked, pointing in the direction of where the animal had run off in.  “Thanks.  Are we going to go after the horse?” 

“I’ll go after it.  You take my horse back to the barn.” He placed the reins in my freehand once I was standing on my feet. 

Shaking my head I didn’t entirely agree with his plan.  He should take the horse and use it to find the other one and I could just walk back on foot.  “I can’t do that.  I shouldn’t do it.  You need to use the horse, not me.” 

“I couldn’t let you walk back all that way to the shelter.  Take the horse, Renae.” He fought back placing his hand over my smaller one holding onto the reins.  “Please.” 

“How will you find your way back to the shelter?” I questioned him in a soft tone. 

David declared to me with a genuine smile on his face.  “You’ll never have to worry. I will always find you.” A sharp gasp left my lips hearing a phrase seeing something flash inside my mind.  Tears came to my eyes with all sorts of memories flooding back into my mind. 

Prince Charming rode on his white horse where he reached a group of dwarfs standing around a glass coffin hearing him approaching so Doc the lead dwarf shook his head.  “You’re too late.” 

He looks over to his princess lying inside the coffin. “No. No! Open it.”

Grumpy replies back.  “I’m sorry, she’s gone” .

“At least let me say goodbye.” The dwarves remove the lid of the coffin. Prince Charming leans down softly kissing me on the lips to say goodbye.  A pulse of magic spreads throughout the land shortly afterwards.  

My eyes flew open causing Charming to pull back slightly seeing my gaze lock onto his deep blue eyes the minute I had woken up.  “You… You found me.”

“Did you ever doubt I would?” Charming gently cupped the side of my face in his palm, grinning brightly back at me. 

“Sort of.  I - I was afraid she’d kill you if I didn’t take the apple.” I sniffed through some happy tears, throwing my arms around his neck hugging him tightly.  My lover wrapped his arms around my waist for a few minutes before he cupped my face once more, declaring an oath for life. 

Charming rested his forehead against mine making me giggle with joy, he would always be a man of his word. “Well, you never have to worry. I will always find you.” 

“I love you, Prince Charming.” 

He gently connected our lips together in another sweet kiss.  “I love you, Jaide Stilskin.” 

“Charming.” I gasped standing a few steps away from him seeing a look of confusion across his face but I couldn’t hide that I now knew the truth.  His face looked just as I remembered it to be the night of the curse.  

David, my husband, stared at me standing beside his horse he had previously been riding.  “Renae, are you okay?” 

“Yes - uh.” Feeling my phone vibrations inside my pocket I saw a text from my father saying he had been arrested by Emma - or should I say my daughter.  Lifting my gaze back to my lover I nervously responded leaving back to my vehicle.  “I’m sorry to cut this short but I have to go bail out Mr. Gold for false charges.  I’ll see you later.” 

“Bye Renae.  I’ll find you later.” He declares making me have to bite my lip and hold in the squeal and desire to jump into his arms and kiss him like there’s no tomorrow.

emma finding out the curse is real and then having to battle a whole ass dragon like an hour later is so wild like?? 😭

[juniperhillpatient]

I love u early 2000s soap opera girlies who had on again off again tragically doomed but also meant to be (it’s complicated ok) romances who made the regrettable decision to magically forget a lover due to thinking it’s really over forever & remembering the romance is simply too melodramatically painful to live with

[transannabeth]

if we're being so for real, i was a goner on the winter soldier storyline in the mcu the second they cast sebastian stan as james "bucky" buchanan barnes because i was watching once upon a time season 1 episode 17 hat trick when it aired on march 25, 2012 and became deeply enamored with jefferson's tragic backstory, manic moments, fun little kidnapping habit, and deeply deeply sad eyes

[ebdaydreamer]

I forget that they bring in the idea of the author so early in s4. And along with it they confirmed the fucking black and white thinking of being either a hero or a villain.

interestingly enough I've been doing some research on fairy tales for my thesis and the idea of black and white morality and people either being good or bad is so fucking stupid. especially when the show itself fully contradicts this idea and shows that people are more complex than that and you can't just put them in a category, yet it is telling you that is how things are. sure, the message is people can change, which is good, but it still traps them in the two categories

they shouldve just let Regina be a fun anti hero instead of doing this whole back and forth of 'ooo will she be evil again??'

[nightowl1556]

I will never forget the sheer delight I felt seeing Once Upon A Time's Frozen arc when I was a Frozen obssessed crossover-loving kid lmao
