Author's Note:
I just finished OUATIW a few weeks ago and my mind was blown. I know how disastrously behind I am on my older stories, so I really shouldn't be starting anything new. But man, Red Knave hit me so hard in the feelings. I looked far and wide for great fanfics about them, but I found myself disappointed. Hardly any at all!
So here is my newest drabble challenge that will actually stick to a 100 to 200 word rule… LOL. I will try and update on this one asap. Not joking; favorite otp in OUAT ever.

001. Beauty
The first time that he had seen Lady Tremaine and her daughters was from inside of the pub of Sherwood Forest.
Will had just finished swallowing half a pint when he saw her gliding past the window – staying quiet behind her stern mother and tall sister. All of which adorned gowns that were clearly of higher expense than anything he had ever owned.
"Who is that?" He demanded from the barkeep, whose hands were tangled in a dirty rag. His lofty gaze lifted while a snort cranked at his throat.
"Lady Tremaine and her daughters."
"Yes, but who's that lovely one there?" Will brought a forefinger up, pointing directly at the gentlest face of them all. The dress she wore was maddeningly attentive to her figure.
"G'lord boy, I dunno their names!"
"She's a beauty though, ain't she?"
Despite that he didn't need a second opinion from the man who served his beer, he looked back at him with a goofy grin smitten across his face.
"That's right." The man rolled his eyes, shaking his head as he wiped another dish. "But don't stare too long, Scarlet. I hear Lady Tremaine charges for that."
Even if Will Scarlet would have known how right the man was just then, he still would have pursued Anastasia.
