S4E11: SHATTERED SIGHT

That night Fawn watched from the treetops as mirror dust rained down on Storybrooke. The protection spell over Hangman's Tree repelled the small shards as they fell protecting Fawn and the Lost Boys from the spell.

When it wasn't going to be your doom the mirror dust was actually quite beautiful. Deep blue and purple storm clouds covered the town and the surrounding forest. The falling dust shimmered as it rained down over Storybrooke and it's inhabitants.

Almost like they could feel the dark power it radiated the Lost Boys quickly fled to the safety of their tree home.

After all the shards had fallen the little town was overcome with shouting and smashing and yelling. It was as good a time as any to go and watch the chaos.

Fawn walked through the streets with a smile on her face as the people of Storybrooke fought around her.

"He's coming! He's coming!" Leroy yelled.

"And I ain't happy!" the other dwarf shouted chasing Leroy with a crossbow.

"Say something!" Doc shouted at Dopey, "You speak so say something! Open your mouth. Speak! Speak! Speak!"

"Move it!" Granny yelled as she walked down the sidewalk with her bow. Fawn leaned against one of the shop windows watching the madness consume the people she despised. What she really would love was to see what Regina, Snow and Charming were up to but she knew it would be too risky. The spell wouldn't last, the Savior would win, and everything would return to normal until the next villain arrived. Hopefully that next villain is Peter.

"Hello, Fawn." A light airy voice greeted from behind her. She quickly turned to see the Snow Queen herself standing behind her.

"Q- Queen Ingrid. This is. . a surprise."

"Clearly. I've been keeping an eye on you."

"You. . you have?" This had not been an encounter Fawn had been prepared for. The Snow Queen could end her in seconds if she wanted to. "Then why didn't you break my protection spell? Unleash the Spell of Shattered Sight on us as well?"

"Well, you haven't gotten in my way. You've been keeping an eye on me and I've been doing the same to you, but before now our paths haven't crossed. You haven't interfered with my plans nor have you done anything to hinder me. Also you and your Lost Boys have nothing to do with what I want."

"You want Elsa and Emma to be your sisters in this new frozen town and you granted Rumplestiltskin passage through the barrier with his wife and grandson."

"A courtesy I would extend to you as well, should you wish it."

"Why? I've offered you nothing in return?"

"I understand being betrayed by your family. Much like how the fairies have turned on you. In their eyes your no longer one of their sisters, you're an enemy. A monster. And you simply want what was taken from you. Once I have what I want I can open up a portal to return you and the Lost Boys to the Enchanted Forest. Take up residence in Regina's castle, Zelena no longer is. Spend your days searching for ways to bring back the dead, you'll certainly have a better chance there than in this land without magic."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TIME SKIP~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the Snow Queen had departed in a whirlwind of flurries Fawn had spent the rest of the night walking the streets of Storybrooke. She hadn't accepted or denied the offer mostly because she knew the Snow Queen wouldn't make it to dawn.

As the sun began to rise snowflakes began to fall from the sky, "Get off me!" Leroy shouted as he fought one of his brothers.

"Don't you sneeze on me, you son of a gun!"

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Are you talking to me?" Two dwarves shouted at each other as Doc and Granny wrestled.

As soon as the snow began to fall on the townspeople the fighting stopped. The curse was broken. And it was time for Fawn to go home.

S4E12: HEROES AND VILLIANS

Six weeks later after the Snow Queen's defeat and Rumplestiltskin's exile Fawn found herself surrounded by books. She'd taken advantage of Rumple's absence and stole every spell book in his shop. She'd been reading through them for weeks and was becoming tired, angry and irritable and all the Lost Boys could see it.

Fawn had put Tootles in charge – not that she had to worry about them slacking off since she had their hearts and complete control over them. But with Tootles in charge Fawn had more time to study resurrection spells; none looked promising and she was starting to lose hope.

Until one morning she heard waves crashing on the shore. The sound was coming from inside her satchel of things she'd brought from Neverland. She immediately dug through it and pulled out a clamshell. It was a beautiful mix of blue and green and enchanted for cross-realm communication. She hadn't used it in decades and had kept it more for sentimental reasons than anything else.

Regardless, she opened the shell and held it to her ear, "Hello?"

"Hello old friend, it's been a long time."

"Yes it has . . . Ursula."

"Fawn, I must say, I've missed the sound of your voice."

"Is that the reason for this sudden call?"

"Actually, I heard you and Pan hit a rough patch."

"That's an understatement," Fawn scoffed, "Who'd you hear it from?"

"The same one who wormed his way back into my life promising 'happy endings'."

"Rumplestiltskin? He's with you?. . . Where are you?"

"New York."
"The Land without Magic? How'd you get here?"

"Long story but not the reason I called. I'm going along with what Rumple's planning but I know I can't trust him. So I thought to myself 'Who can I trust with access to this wretched world?' Come to find out the person I need is already here."

"So if things go south with you and 'Stiltskin you want me to bail you out?'

"And in exchange, I'll feed you all the information I can on what Rumple's up to. For old time sake."

"You have a deal. But be careful with him, after being exiled there's no telling what he won't do."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NEVERLAND- YEARS AGO

Fawn had decided to take some time away from the Lost Boys so she went to Mermaid Lagoon. It was unusually quiet and she couldn't find any of the mermaids. She walked barefoot in the sand letting the waves sweep at her feet as she gathered shells and sea glass that washed up on shore.

The push and pull rhythm of the tide stopped abruptly as a teenage girl appeared in the center of the lagoon. At first Fawn thought she was a mermaid until she saw the tentacles that made up the girls lower half.

"And just who the hell are you?" Fawn questioned placing her hands on her hips. The girl turned her attention to the fairy.

"Ursula, daughter of Poseidon. And who might you be?"

"Fawn, I. . . work, for Peter Pan. And you're trespassing on his island."

"Pan? The same Pan Killian Jones is working for?"

"You know Hook?"

"I met him quite recently in fact. He helped my father take my most prized possession from me."

"Well, I'm sorry to hear that. But unfortunately, you can't stay here."

"Oh, I don't plan to. I'm merely passing through. I need a message sent across the seas and mermaids are the best way to do that. They love gossip."

"I'm aware." Fawn said sourly. "What message?"

"My father, the king, is no longer the one to be feared in the ocean. I am. He let his hate take control of his decisions, well, now I am the one with hate and it has opened my eyes to true power."

"It seems you and I may have something in common."

"Really?"

"Leaving your people for greater power is something I can definitely relate to. . . Maybe I can, put in a good word for you with the King of Neverland. But Peter doesn't do anything for others unless there's something in it for him."

"Well, when his little pirate helper returns tell Pan to feel free to throw him into the ocean. I would love to get my tentacles around his throat."

This one's about anyone who does it differently. . .

This ain't about our livin' in a fantasy,

This ain't about givin' up or givin' in. . .

We weren't born to follow,

Come on and get up off your knees,

When life is a bitter pill to swallow,

You gotta hold on to what you believe.
