Disclaimer: I most definitely do not own Once Upon a Time or its characters. If I did, I wouldn't be going crazy wondering what's going to happen next with Snow/Mary and Charming/David.
Freedom Love
Maybe all I've ever wanted is something to believe in. Like what? You. Me. And everything that we could be together.
Ever since Mary Margaret Blanchard could remember - and wasn't it odd how difficult it was to determine how long 'ever' really was - she would occasionally get a rather disjointed feeling. She would feel, usually at her weakest moments, that there was something so very wrong about how she was behaving. As strange as she most definitely knew it was, it was as though she had another personality, buried deep within herself, that was most unamused whenever she were to act overly meekly. There was a part of her that wanted to strike back, to stand up for herself, but that little part never quite made it into action.
Mary knew that these thoughts didn't make any sense, and so she never did share them with anyone. No one knew that every once in awhile, Mary Margaret would get the feeling that nothing was right at all. And this was enough to make Mary feel very lonely indeed.
Fortunately, such moments of disjointedness didn't occur particularly often, certainly rarely enough that she could almost ignore their occurrence completely.
That is, until Mary Margaret Blanchard came to meet David Nolan.
And this odd other side of her would no longer stay properly buried within.
Author's note: I haven't published any fan fiction for a very long time, so I'm incredibly nervous about this, but this is just one idea that wouldn't leave me alone. I hope you'll come to enjoy it.
