Henry the Dark One
Jade Star asked for a oneshot of Henry is actually the DO and both his moms have no choice but to kill him. The darkness is banished forever into Henry's book. While grieving Henry's death, Snow realises he planned this from the start. His family prepares to go to the Underworld to find him.
There had been no other way. They all knew that. But that didn't mean that forever living with the knowledge that they had killed their own son was easy on both Emma and Regina. Nobody was able to comfort either of them. Not Robin or Killian. Not Snow or Charming. Nobody. Henry was gone, and no matter what anybody else told them, they would forever blame themselves for having to be the ones to do it. It was either them, or allow the darkness to consume him. Which they had been informed would be a much more painful death. Once he was gone, the darkness was confined forever to the pages of Henry's book. Neither Emma or Regina wanted to see that book ever again. It was only when Snow flicked through the pages in an attempt to feel close to her recently deceased grandson that she found there were some new pages added to the end. Pages that could only have been added by the Author. Pages that Henry wrote just before he died.
When she discovered them, Snow gathered the family together and explained when she had read.
"So…Henry planned this?" Emma asked. Snow nodded.
"Yes Emma. Henry knew the only way to rid the world of darkness was for this to happen. He knew this was always going to be the way it went down. But he also knew this wasn't the end. He's not dead, Emma. Not exactly. More in limbo. Henry's in the Underworld. He's left instructions for us to go and rescue him. We can bring him home." Emma and Regina looked at each other. They hadn't expected this. They didn't know they'd get a second chance with their son.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" Emma said. "Let's go get back our son."
I won't be writing a sequel to this one :).
