Author's Note: So I haven't been publishing more stories 'cause I went to college for graphic design and I'm almost graduating! Been busier than hell, which is ironic 'cause I've been involved with Once Upon a Time and this poem is based on a story told in Hell :O. This pom based off Hercules and Young Snow's relationship in Once Upon a Time Season 5 Episode 13! Something I will always freaking ship.

For the record I love Snow and Charmimg also. And actually loved their ship for much longer. This story was just begun on my interest of unrequited love in the new ship Snowcules.

EDIT: Thanks to my lovely reviewers that actually support my desire to pick up writing again, this poem is now part of a story!

I wrote this poem in like 15 minutes but I'd love to hear from you guys!

EDIT: Because some of you are leaping to conclusions I will say this. There will be no adultery. No grown Snow and Hercules relationship. It is more of an excuse to excercise a plot I have been thinking about for years. It will always be Young Snow x Hercules and Snow x Charming. Concerning Snow and Hercules, if it is a grown Snow it will be a grown Hercules. If it is a Young Snow it is a Young Hercules. You'll catch my drift by chapter 5. But this story only contains grown Snow and Charmimg and Young Snow and Hercules. I just forgot to update my first chapter and made a typo in the summary that wasn't completely correct. Because the structure of the story plotline is going to be wacky and unexpected beyond comprehension. The wackiness part deals a lot with my version of Season 6 of OUAT. All possibilities are open, but only in the way I mentioned here. No one will written OOC, unless it's the fact I don't know how to write Young Snow. I'm aware of how this looks and I will tell you now, especially Guest reviewers, you guys are completely wrong.

This story goes along the lines of if you could do things again, how would you do it differently. As well as remaining in the here and now.

I've tried to be accommodating, but I am spending countless hours juggling senior-level time-intensive graphic design projects with tight deadlines with this story the past Spring Break. Not for any ship, actually. For personal reasons of a serious issue the mystery portion of this plot will be written about that I have personal knowledge from a close friend of mine. I know how controversial a possible relationship of Snow with Hercules is. But my reasons for writing the main plot of the story are far more serious and deal with society issues far more serious than a fictional pairing. For the last time, leave your personal opinions to Twitter and Facebook. I will delete all future spam concerning NOTPS and ship/pairing hate.

To the first Guest reviewer and anyone else who may want to take personal offense for the comment I ship these two instead of commenting about the work:

Obviously they don't get together if that's what you're concerned about :). And for the record its pretty believable to many people out there posting they love Hercules and Young Snow together as a ship. Personally I only began writing it because I loved the thought of starting a story beginning with continued unrequited love from Hercules. If you couldn't appreciate the work for literary aspects then you totally didn't need to bother reviewing. It's a place to discuss literature not debate on relationship ships (which is really reserved for Twitter and Facebook). To be honest I'm incredulous as to why you read it if you didn't even like the ship at all, because I don't believe in wasting my time on things I don't believe in. If you want to start flaming on shipped pairings, try Rumple/Hook. There's a pair that doesn't belong together. Their names don't even sound good together.

Don't take things too seriously hun.

Disclaimer: I don't own Once Upon a Time, the characters in Once Upon a Time, Disney, Snow White, Hercules, or Jonathon Whitesell… though the last one I wish I did.

Closure

You met me on the south side of
a Godforsaken pier. Radiant and pure
as the day I met you. The day that
felt like yesterday until I woke up
in this hellhole. The day that
didn't have to end, but it did.

For your destiny. For mine.

But you're here.
And you've found me.

Except you've moved on.
With someone else.

With a family, and two kids.

It's true our paths could've been so different.
We could've had the same adventures,
had our kisses in your turret.

But you've given me courage to face my demons.

I am finally going home.
And I owe it all to you.

Sharing your legacy's beginning is my greatest gift.

You helped me finish mine.

I will never forget that.

Bandits may steal money,
but you stole my heart.

And even as I move on from this place,
I will leave without that one thing.

Because it is yours to keep.

For a lifetime.

Author's Note:

Let me know what you think of the next three chapters ;). Stay tuned! Ta-ta.
