Living A Fairy Tale - PG - Emma/Regina - 2/2girlie_girl_23January 9 2012, 01:05:33 UTC
Regina can tell the story of a woman whose happiness was stolen and trust betrayed. She can tell how the woman allowed the darkness to take her over, and who chose revenge over happiness. She can tell of a dark curse that was supposed to give the woman her happy ending, and of the horrible things she did to try to achieve it. She can tell of a town and a child that were supposed to fill the void in her heart and soul, but never entirely managed to do so. And she can tell of how the curse was broken by true love, the thing she was convinced no longer existed. She can tell of the White Knight, who forced her way into her life and her heart and wouldn't give up, even in the face of all the darkness in her heart. She can tell of the redemption that finally came, of the forgiveness afforded and the mistakes forgotten, left to another time and place. She can tell of a void filled and finally getting her happily ever after.
Henry can even tell his own story. The story of a brave, if misguided little boy, who set out to break a dark curse and almost broke his mother's heart in the process. He can talk about the boy's two mothers - his birth mother who gave him up to give him his best chance and his adoptive mother who chose him and loved him when she couldn't love anyone else. He can tell of the mistakes the boy made, of the way he hurt those he loved and who loved him because he couldn't see past the words on a page. He can tell of finally understanding that there is more than one side to every story. He can tell of the White Knight and the Queen who fought first a battle against each other and then a battle together, and whose love finally overcame the darkest of curses. He can tell of a family and a sense of belonging that finally filled his heart, as well as the hearts of his mothers. He can tell of fairy tales coming true and happily ever afters actually happening.
And then there's Eva, who can tell the story of the littlest princess, the one that came after the curse. The little girl that had the dark eyes, hair, and fire of one of her mother's and the spunk, determination, and pureness of the other. The little girl that adored her older brother and who was spoiled by her grandparents, even if they looked far too young to actually be her grandparents. She can tell of family and fights and laughter and love and all the things that make up the meaning of her name - life.
And she can tell of a town filled with people who, while amazing storytellers, go to bed every night without a story. Because who needs stories at bedtime when you're already living a fairy tale?

I love this! Did I already say I loved it? I meant to. It sounds almost like a Mary Alice monologue, and I mean that in an incredibly good way. Lovely touch!
