Large patrol
GrantL1991 asked for a oneshot of Emma and Charming having to patrol Storybrooke on horseback being assisted by all the knights from Snowing's kingdom.
Oollies2004: gap rule.
Padfoot's girl: that kind of thing has been done a lot.
IMPORTANT: So, here it is. The grand finale of Once. I'm not quite done with OCF yet, and will let you know when last calls for requests are (probably this weekend). However, for tonight, since the Charming family are back all requests from tonight's episode based around their interactions (or what you felt should have been their reactions) are highly encouraged. Go on, it's your last ever chance. All I ask is that you give me a spoiler warning as I won't be able to watch the episode in full until it airs in the UK on Tuesday. Thanks guys! JMAMK x
"…This feels weird." Emma commented. She looked around her, clinging to the reins. It was weird enough patrolling on horseback, let alone with strangers flanking her. Emma could feel them watching her every move. She didn't like it. She just wanted to be back in the cruiser with her dad, but there had been a spat of crime in and around the forest lately and her dad had pointed out they'd be quicker on horseback. The guards flanking them had been their knights from back home and they'd been itching to help the station out. Emma relented and allowed them to come on the forest patrols, but she still wasn't comfortable with the constant staring. Charming understood. It had taken him a while to get used to as well.
"You're their princess. They just want to keep you safe." He reasoned with her. Emma nearly hurled. She hated being referred to as a princess. Charming smiled at her. "Well you are." He protested. "Afraid there's no getting around that." Emma rolled her eyes huffily. Maybe it would have been different if she'd been raised in the Enchanted Forest, but she expected not. She imagined she still would have hated being treated differently for being royal. Just the same as she did now.
