A/N: My diabolical plan: scour the web for 100 word challenges, choose some prompts I want to use, write the names of twelve favorite OUAT characters on slips of paper, put them in a hat, pick out a different name for each word (not repeating names until I use all twelve), and then write a drabble of exactly 100 words about that character based on the prompt.

In no particular order (except for the first three, who are my OFFICIAL favorites), here are the characters:

1. Archie/Jiminy
2. August/Pinnocchio
3. Mary Margaret/Snow
4. Henry
5. Leroy/Grumpy
6. David/James
7. Katherine/Abigail
8. Ruby/Red
9. Mother Superior/Blue
10. Emma
11. Dr. Whale/Poseidon? Frankenstein? IDK
12. Jefferson/The Mad Hatter

Some of my favorite characters are a little underrated and underwritten, you can see. Which is why I'm writing about them! ;)

But enough explanation. On to the drabbles!


Dream – Archie Hopper

My dream began with a shooting star. It was the only one in the sky, but it really glowed, and it was literally falling. It had arms, and they reached for me, wherever I was. I was too mesmerized to look around. When it reached me I saw a flash of green.

And then it ended.

Frustrated, Archie set down his dream journal. The dream didn't end. Dreams never "ended" in a traditional sense, and this one felt especially incomplete. The star meant something big.

Maybe he would ask the mayor's son. The child's first meeting would be this afternoon.
