Copycats

A guest asked for a oneshot of *6x19 spoilers!* Gideon and the Black Fairy pretending to be Snowing to get to the Blue Fairy. Snowing were trying to stop the pair before Emma's wedding, but wind up getting captured. Snow tells her that if she kills them, then everyone will be after them. The Black Fairy says she isn't going to kill them, she just needs them to stay out of their way for a while. Then she and Gideon transform into Snowing. The Black Fairy then waves her hand and the real Snowing falls asleep.

Snow and Charming did their best to escape the knots of the chairs they were tied to. Normally, both were particularly skilled at escaping these type of situation, but they suspected the knots were enchanted to prevent them from escaping. The Black Fairy and Gideon were, after all, not amateurs themselves.

"Keep on struggling, dears, you will just tire yourselves out and make my job easier for me." A cold voice came from behind them. Snow and Charming stopped struggling. So she had finally returned to finish them off after leaving them to stew for a good few hours. The Black Fairy made her way round to face the pair with Gideon trailing behind her. He looked cold and distant as well, but in a different way from his adoptive mother.

"Kill us, if that is what you intend to do, but we know we will be avenged." Snow said calmly. She refused to give this evil woman the satisfaction of seeing her afraid.

"You've made more than enough enemies in Storybrooke. You might be more powerful than them singularly, but can you really say them same about them together?" Charming threatened her. Of course he didn't want himself or Snow to die, but like Snow, he knew he would be avenged. He knew their deaths would be the final straw that forced the town to work together to defeat the most dangerous threat any of them had ever faced. But the Black Fairy didn't seem angered by this prospect. In fact, she almost seemed amused. Slowly, she bent down until she was almost nose to nose with Snow.

"Oh sweetheart. I'm not going to kill you, either of you. Not today. Then you both would miss your front row seats to your darling little Emma's death. Where would the fun in that be? When I couldn't see the light leave your eyes as I take your daughter's life?"

"You don't lay a hand on her." Snow snarled as both she and Charming began once again to struggle against their bonds. The Black Fairy gave a humourless laugh.

"Oh, but there isn't anything you can do to prevent that. It is her destiny, as well you both know. But don't worry. That day hasn't come. Yet. Today, I just need you both to sit tight." In a cloud of black smoke, the Black Fairy and Gideon were transformed into complete clones of Snow and Charming. The only difference being the usual kind, loving smiles on their faces were twisted and evil.

"We'll tell your children you say hello, shall we? Give them both a kiss from mummy and daddy?"

"If we find that you've gone anywhere near our son or our daughter, we will-" But Charming wasn't able to finish telling the Black Fairy what they would do. For with a simple wave of her hand, both of them slumped against their chairs, in a deep sleep. The Black Fairy and Gideon then both disappeared. They had a pesky fairy to catch.
