Disclaimer: i own nothing, sadly enough, all characters belong to their respective owners, which isn't me, unfortunately.
A/N: this is an AU story so some of our bleoved characters may seem a tad OC at times an it is done on purpose. (don't worry i will keep them as close to their characters as i possibly can but since Emma has grown up in the Enchanted Forest in this story her charater will be the one that is the most OC of them all.)
The Course of True Love
Every fairy tale that we have ever read always starts with the words 'Once Upon a Time…' and in this instance the words couldn't be more true. For once upon a time there lived a beautiful princess who was the product of the truest of true love. Her name was Emma, and she was the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming. Their love having given birth to a powerful being. A being that was destined to find her own true love but in the most unlikely of places and in the most unlikely of persons. A being that was destined to bring happiness to those who had given up on ever finding their own happy ever after. And so our story begins in the Enchanted Forest on the eve of Princess Emma's eighteenth birthday. A day that the young princess would not soon forget. For it was on this day that she would meet the love of her life, her true love. But the course of true love never runs smoothly, especially for those who are not looking for it. And so it will be for our lovely princess and the man that steals her heart. A man that has only known love once in his life and lost it tragically to unforeseen circumstances. He isn't looking for love when he meets our princess but then again neither is she…..
