Emma beginning that we start with, but through the lens of everything that happens after it, and before it in TFL now!

The story bits that leads directly to how Storybrooke was birthed!

Don't tell me you don't have theories! Bring all your feels and questional subjectivity and flailing about things proved right or wrong or waffling or still dreaming in your noggin.

Lets start the list by episode!

1. What was the dark cloud that Snow White/Prince Charming's True Love kiss cleared away?
2. Where did Mary Margaret get the book of fairy tales?

You know how this goes! Tell us what was going through your trapped TFL character inside their SB counterpart during this episode! Or however else you feel inspired to take it.

Day 10,226

It's good to be Mayor.

Unimpressed with the excessive prices at Banana Republic, but a mayor's gotta do what a mayor's gotta do to look this good.

An annoying blonde rode into town today, claiming to be my kid's real mother. Some people just don't understand the meaning of the phrase "closed adoption."

Still not dead yet. :(

... I realize the irony of posting with this pup.

But.

*dead of laughs*

Today is the day. There are almost too many things to say.

Emma is here. In Storybrooke. But Storybrooke doesn't seem to have changed yet. Charming hasn't woken up. No one else has woken up. And Henry! Henry isn't Mary Margaret's erstwhile but sad pet project, or just the newest child Regina has decided she knows how to raise -- he's her son. Emma's son.

We have a grandchild. Emma had a child. Emma had, I know, I know, twenty-eight years. But she was so small when he carried her away, and now she's so tall. So spikey. But she has Charming's bright eyes. And some amazing curls. The blonde must come from him, too.

Twenty eight years. We've missed so much. She can't even hear me. And Henry. Henry. Can it be tomorrow and class already? Can we see him again? And where did Emma go? And why hasn't anyone else woken up? Where is that blasted Rumpelstiltskin now?

Why are we just sitting here, drinking nearly cold tea and reading Kafka? How can she not know what today is? What just happened? Why can't she feel it?

Hair is still distressing short.
Clothing still made of cardigans.

Still trapped in here.
Still not Queen again.
Still no Charming.

But Emma is here.

Day one starts tomorrow.
Soon she'll free us all.

Snow, your daughter is my kind of girl, just saying. And while I can't say I've minded the reprieve from the other curse... well.

FINALLY SOMETHING IS HAPPENING.

(Also, I'm taking that scarf back with me.)

1. What subtle changes happened in your characters/any character the day when Emma made her choice? Or what were they doing/did they think of the clock suddenly starting to move?

2. What does your character, or any character (as you are not required to stay in any box), think of fairy tales?

3. 100 Words prompts: Family, Hope, Fractures, Clock, Blue Star, Wish

This needs no explanation! Shake it out!

Toss anything here you'd like!
