AN: So... 3x03... I had to write something after going through mass troubles on tumblr with getting these feels out. I don't know how I suddenly became a Regal Outlaw, or how I changed from loving Queen Hood, to Robin Queen, to Hooded Regal, and now to Outlaw Queen. Mostly because I wanna be able to call myself a Regal Outlaw, along with all my friends who will go down with this ship, the rest of the Regal Outlaws and our merry band of men.

Belief. That's what it all comes down to. Not being afraid to believe. Snow knew it, hell, Henry undoubtedly knew it. Even little Alice knew it, with her faith in her genie and their love. Tinkerbell knew. Blue didn't, but she's...

Did I know? Did I ever truly believe?

Long answer? No. So I ran away. He had the power to hurt me. I couldn't love anyone else. My mother was still out there. She was in Wonderland, yes, but she wasn't dead yet. I booked it out of the place before I even saw his handsome face...

But I found him again.

She barely moved her hand, and the vines wrapped around my chest faster than he could open his mouth. He could hear shouting, one voice seemed familiar, but all he could pay attention do was her. Her hair. Her eyes. Her skin. Her fierce look that, if possible, could kill.

Honestly? He thought insanity had finally taken him, picking out the best person he could imagine and then morphing her into this woman before his eyes. It was the perfect thing to die to. Focusing on the bond he felt, even without saying a word to her, he smiled. Only regretting not saving my son, who foolishly called the shadow back, he shut his eyes for what he thought would be the last time.

That was, of course, until he heard dearest Snow White, and his eyes shot open while a grin sprawled across his face to match the one on her's. He was excited to see his student, and she was having just the same feeling seeing him. Snow got out an arrow and pointed it at one of the vines near his head. Groaning inwardly, he waited to hear the swoosh that would shut everyone else up, but unfortunately, he yelled out in surprise when the arrow nicked his ear, "Damn it, Frosty! When will you actually aim right?"

The woman laughed out loud, not containing her joy to see her former trainer before she realized something, "How are you here? Have you been here the whole time? Robin, do you know Pan?" She kept asking questions, while he seemed more concerned about the bleeding ear; it wasn't too bad, but it was still bleeding. He wouldn't die, but his actions certainly made it seem so.

"A couple hours, I think. No, as answered by my last answer. Who's Pan? Is that the one who the Dark One's boy was after? That Pan? Because if so, I'm going to need everything you have on that boy so I can kill him for taking my son." His attention was divided, from wanting to find his son, to finding Snow again, to the very attractive woman who could tie him down faster than he could shoot an arrow.

A blonde girl in the corner was staring, while someone who looked like they could be her brother nodded, "You sound like Emma about Henry. I respect the fatherly-Wait the Dark One's boy? Neal?" Oh, Charming. Keep up.

Then there was a sword was suddenly pressing at Robin's throat. Well that escalated quickly.

"Emma!" Snow yelled, stepping forward and suddenly feeling guilty. She hadn't meant for it to seem like it was okay to hurt Robin, but that was just their usual greeting.

"How do you know Neal?" The blonde, Emma, snarled with her eyes narrowing.

Robin looked down at the sword pressed to his throat and then back up to her. "He's alive. He's here. Hell, it's his fault I'm here. I saw him with his father, but... The Dark One and I don't really... So I went the other way. You two seem to be going opposite directions." He looked down at the vines and gave the one with magic a smile. She scoffed and waved her hand, the vines disappearing.

While the others talked in a circle around a map, fighting about changing the plan, Tink stared at Robin thoughtfully. Her eyes narrowed and she grabbed his arm, pulling him off to the side and behind the tree. She made sure Regina wasn't looking over at the tree, noting that she was busy trying to get everyone to leave Neal and Rumple to do their own thing, before lifting up his shirt's sleeves. Not expecting to find what she was looking for, she gasped at the sight.

This was perfect.

Blue couldn't say that Tink wasn't fairy-material if she got Regina, someone with one of the blackest hearts Tink had ever seen, to love again. To really, truly love someone. She could get her wings back, her magic, her home. Plus... She could prove Blue wrong. She could beat Blue. This was absolutely wonderful. After all, pixie dust never fails, even if it does take longer than expected.

"Did you need something?" The Man With the Lion Tattoo wondered with a raised eyebrow, looking pretty confused on why this random woman dragged him off behind a tree, only to lift up his sleeves and gasp at the sight of his tattoo. He was from the Enchanted Forest, and he had been to Wonderland, but that was just very weird to him.

"No, no. It's nothing," Tink replied with a happy smile. She was on cloud nine as she walked off. It was time to play matchmaker again.

"Regina left."

Well that crushed Tink's dream. Good job, Hood.

Thankfully, Tink wasn't going to give up. Try ruining that one, Hood. You can't deny your feelings for Regina.

Stumbling upon a little boy was not something Regina planned for, but little Roland was too cute to leave crying on a stump. He reminded her of Henry when he was little. At first, she had thought him to be one of Pan's lackies, but he was far too young and too innocent. He had been crying out for his mother, wailing about where she went.

So Regina picked him up, holding him close and humming softly while rubbing his back, something she used to do for Henry when he was this age.

That was an arrow to the heart.

She couldn't help it, he was sad and he was just a small child who was left, or abandoned, or taken. Whatever the case, Regina was going to get him to stop crying. She tried to remember a story from the Land Without Magic, their version and not the real, dark tale. She grinned as she remembered Henry coming home and talking about a fox with a bow and arrow who stole from the rich to give to the poor and told it to the boy, told him the story of Robin Hood.

Roland absolutely loved it.

After he had quieted down, Regina sat on a rock while Roland sat on her lap, holding onto her tightly. Regina felt like crying at the memory of Henry doing the same after a nightmare. "Daddy said that mommy went to a place we couldn't go for awhile. Are you my mommy?" He asked, looking up at her.

That's how she learned that it's literally impossible not to fall in love with Roland, or as she liked to call him, Little Hood.

"Roland!" He shouted, quickly grabbing his son out of her hands.

Regina looked empty suddenly, realizing that the little boy wasn't Henry, and that her son was still in trouble. She looked up at Emma, shocked to see Neal and Rumpelstiltskin with the group now. What's on Rumple's face? Regina wondered, but put the thought aside quickly. He could look how he wished. She was more concerned about Henry, "What are you doing here? We need to go save my son!"

"We're getting there!" Emma snapped, "You just happened to be on the path there. Good job, now if you're coming with us, move."

Regina stood up from her spot on the rock, burying her memories of the past few hours with Little Hood, and suddenly had the child in her arms. She looked over at Robin Hood with a confused expression. The man just shrugged, "He asked for you."

Tink watched Regina's guard break and a small smile slip as she looked down at Roland, then back up at Robin and head off to save her own son from Peter Pan.

Maybe there was hope for them after all.

AN: As of now, this is a one-shot, but if you want more, simply ask because I seriously love this ship.

Wonderland comment: Watch OUAT in Wonderland. Robin'll be there. Third episode. If I'm wrong... Then it's suddenly completely AU.
