A/N: I've been wanting to do this fic before, but I finally decided to get around to it! This is based on the OUaT/Tangled parallels highlighted in a Buzzfeed post I saw a while ago.
Basically, Regina=Mother Gothel, Snow and Charming=King and Queen, Emma=Rapunzel, Hook/Killian=Eugene/Flynn, Henry=Pascal (because reasons) and I'll add more character keys as I add more parts.
TOTALLY CAPTAIN SWAN!
Includes: Killian, Emma, Captain Swan, Evil! Regina, Snowing for the sake of family fluff, Tangled AU.
If you have a problem with any of the former, please leave and refrain from posting hate :3
Enjoy!
Once upon a time, a kingdom in the enchanted forest lived in peace and harmony, under the rule of the fairest king and queen the people could ask for; Snow White and Prince Charming. Poverty was almost non-existent, and the rich had extravagant balls and parties. The streets were filled with song and dance, since there was almost always something to be happy about. The one problem was that the ex-queen was bent on destroying everything the Charmings loved. Her name was Regina, and she was the most powerful sorceress in the land. She could have offed the royal family with a flick of her wrist, but a fairy had charms protecting all that was good in the kingdom, including Snow White and her husband. They didn't take her petty threats seriously, until they got the biggest news of their life. Snow was pregnant with a baby.
They immediately took action to protect the queen, posting guards at every entrance to the castle and getting as much help from the Blue Fairy as they could. But light magic could only do so much.
When Snow began to approach her due date, Regina infiltrated the castle with the help of a slave and snuck poison into Snow's soup.
The Blue Fairy said she was sure to die in hours, unless Charming could find the flower of life.
"The flower of life?" He scoffed. "That could be a day's journey from here, but we may only have minutes! There must be another way!" He pleaded with the fairy.
"I'm sorry. There's nothing I can do." And with that, she was gone.
"You can do it," Snow coughed weakly. "Miracles have a way of happening in our family." She gave him the strongest smile she could muster.
"I will find it, and I will save you." He left her chamber without another word.
He rallied the troops, fighting through tears, and rode off into the night.
They searched every nook and cranny in the kingdom, and just when all hope was lost the flower revealed itself.
It glowed in the moon light, its golden petals unfurled in a delicate fan. The men carefully plucked it from the soil, and brought it back to the castle.
One hour later, a beautiful baby girl was born. She had her mother's sparkling green eyes and her dad's blond hair, which already fell to her shoulders.
All was well that night, with the family asleep and thinking that they had bested Regina once again.
They were wrong.
In all the excitement of the evening, the Blue Fairy neglected to put the kingdom's shields up again. The only thing keeping Regina out.
She chuckled to herself as she materialized in the new parents' bedroom.
"It's almost too easy..." She grinned and summoned a dagger, and was just about to strike when she heard a happy gurgle and some babbling.
She whipped around to find the most adorable baby she'd ever seen.
"You're just the cutest thing!" Regina whispered. She played with the baby for a moment, until she realized that the Charmings didn't have to die to be unhappy. What hurts more than losing a child? She had her dagger poised, when the child let out a mighty wail, waking her parents.
Regina gasped, and not knowing what else to do, she grabbed the girl and fled to her secret tower in the woods.
When they arrived, Regina told herself that she had to kill the girl, it was the only way she could get her happy ending. She thrust her hand into the child's chest, trying to pull out her heart. But she couldn't. It was stuck. She yanked with all her might, but was thrown backward by a pulse of pure white magic.
Suddenly she felt lighter, and didn't feel the creakiness in her joints when she walked.
She stumbled over to a mirror, and realized that the gray streaks in her hair had vanished. Her extra weight around her hips and mid-section was gone.
Could it have been the baby? Regina wondered. Whatever it was, she liked it.
But when she woke up in the morning, the magic was reversed.
So that settled it. If the girl could make her young again, and her parents thought she was dead, why did she have to die?
"Welcome home, Emma." She cooed.
Sorry for the length, but this is just the intro.
