Epilogue

There was stillness in the Enchanted forest moments before the surge of power that reversed all curses put into effect and brought the denizens of Storybrooke back to the Enchanted Forest. It was a quite stillness, a calm stillness. A dead stillness.

Then, in a swath of white smoke, people started to appear. Back to the places they'd been deposited from, back to the places they belonged. And if they didn't belong in the world to start with, they showed up with who they belonged with.

Which is why Snow White awoke next to Prince Charming, Regina Mills was waking next to Robin Hood, and Samuel Winchester was blinking himself into conscious right next to Castiel.

And why one Dean Winchester could be seen waking next to one Emma Swan.

Rumplestiltskin and Metatron had disappeared. Though the entire kingdom searched, no one could find hide nor hair of either of the villains. They were gone with the wind, or had perhaps perished in the bright, burning light of the ancient spell had unwittingly cast; the spell of Purified Hearts. Regina and Castiel had theorized that, when Emma's light magic had purged every last bit of darkness—including the darkness he had absorbed from Metatron in the angel's last moments—from Rumplestiltskin's heart, the act was one of such lightness and purity, that all dark curses were forced to reset themselves.

Of course, it was all just theory, and even the Blue Fairy had no clue such a spell could ever be performed.

It took Dean, Castiel, and Sam while to adjust to life in the Enchanted Forest—a life free of hunting, of killing, and of constant danger. He still had his doubts that he truly belonged in the Enchanted Forest—the same doubts were shared by Emma. Together, they agreed to try their best to forge forward, and create a new life in the Enchanted Forest.

Though, most nights, any one of them could be found in the castle's vast libraries, looking for information on curses, and on different realms. Whether they ever found information, it didn't seem to matter all that much. As long as they were together, well…you know how it goes.

There's nothing that can't be done with the power of true love.
