A/N: These are all updates from my Tumblr account that have been requested to be put on this website. They will range from short to long, and will follow an AU storyline, but have many elements from both original works. I hope you all enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy writing them. :)

Introduction

"Alright up there Swan?"

If it wasn't for the shouts coming from both teams players, and the claps from the bleachers, Emma would never have been able to believe there were actual people out on this field.

Clear skies they promised. She remarked bitterly, her tangled curls coming undone from the air's fierce mixture of chilling wind and harsh rain. Her grip on the broom's head caused her knuckles to turn even paler than the shade of her usual skin tone.

Just wonderful.

"I'm fine!" Emma cried back, recognizing the voice of her best chaser, August, even without being able to properly see him. "This storm isn't getting any better though!"

"No shit!" August yelled with a chuckle, guiding his unwilling and temperamental broom to hover beside her. "Hooch doesn't even want to start the game in this -"

A hissing, cackling thunder interrupted him, as it caused echoing shrieks and screams amongst the crowd below.

The ashen clouds allowed some light to filter onto the pitch, and Emma saw a lone figure, donned with thick obsidian braid from across, flying in the stuttering wind.

The graceful opposing captain held on strongly, unmoving in the wind's current, and her eyes kept forward as they met Emma's own in a far, but unyielding stare. The sapphire robes swung behind her, not unlike the very bird that was adorned and stitched onto the brunette's vest.

"We will play this game August." Emma snarled. "And we're going to win."
