The Dark Curse has been cast, bringing surprises all round, not least for the Evil Queen who doesn't know how to handle a woman she thought was dead. But soon it's clear to all the major players that things aren't happening quite how they'd planned, and this so-called Saviour isn't as effective as they had hoped she'd be. Follows on from 'A Shift in Power', read that first :)

Regina first hears the name when she is a child. Mother is stomping down the hallway, muttering about 'Eva', and Regina asks "Who's that?" Mother turns and Regina flinches. That is when she realises the name is a Danger. Or, all those times Regina heard Queen Eva's name and wished she could forget all the memories that came with it. (T warning: brief mention of rape)

True Love is known to be the most powerful magic, whilst ordinary love is argued to be a weakness in and of itself. A kiss born of True Love is known to break any curse. There are curses True Love's Kiss can't break, such as the curse of the werewolf. And there are curses that refuse to go down without a fight. In those cases, a kiss will free the cursed, but curse the kisser.

Belle doesn't make it back to her Rumple before Regina interferes, but due to a lucky twist of fate she remains free. She sets out on a quest to save a princess with a new group of friends, but still hopes to one day be reunited with her one True Love. Comments/criticism appreciated!

Rumplestiltskin returns with the extended Neverland crew, and is heartbroken by the crumpled up note he finds abandoned on the counter of his shop. But he should know by now that things are never as they first appear. This is the last one in the mini one-shot series I wrote, although I actually wrote this one straight after the first two.

The moment has arrived, and Red can't help but be nervous. Anything could go wrong, everything could go wrong. The whole thing could be a tragic disaster, or it could go perfectly. Giving birth is too damn stressful, and Red isn't even the pregnant one! Skip ahead a few months from 'A shopping trip' :)

Cinderella goes shopping, and runs into a soon to be mother :) Takes place after 'Coffee and baby kicks'.

Mulan, a pregnant Belle, and a new development -

Now that Belle has her memory back, the town of Storybrooke is happy to present her with a large collection of gifts :)

Takes place after 'Evasion tactics', from the point of one Doctor Whale (a suspicious character indeed - why does he still work at the hospital anyways?) Sorry this one's so short :D Enjoy anyway, and let me know what you think (Suggestions for others welcome) - Would this be easier if it was in a story with chapters and not random one-shots?

Someone suggested I have a go at Belle's kind-of reunion with Neal, so here it is. I'm sure this isn't what you meant, but it's what came to mind. Sorry, and enjoy - Follows immediately after 'Waking up'

The second part of 'A note goodbye', which was intended as a stand-alone piece, but I just couldn't help myself. What did Lacey drink? All will be revealed! Sort of. This part makes what happened kinda obvious :D

When Gold offered her the potion, she didn't want to drink it, and didn't. But now she kinda regrets choosing to stick around. Some brief references to suicide, if that's a trigger for anyone. I don't mean to be insensitive in writing this. I got this idea and then it wouldn't go away. So I wrote it down. I hope you guys enjoy it, let me know what you think -

In his world it couldn't be done, but in others the dead could rise again. A brief one-shot in which Rumple visits the White Witch. Set after Skin Deep and before Aslan's 'death'. They have a deal to discuss.
