A little one shot based on the prompt above. Not too short though, but still XD

Enjoy!

What could go wrong?

The fairy known as Noella had decided to take matters into her own hands. With the current buzz around The Enchanted Forest, she had heard what Rumplestiltskin had intended to have Regina do. Cast a dark curse that would rip this entire world apart, the one that the fairy loved with more than her entire body. Snow was so close to giving birth and the last thing she could allow everyone to do is separate mother from child, sending the infant Emma to a world without magic — no; that would not do.

A little fairy dust would surely fix such a problem, in fact the fairy was surprised that Blue had yet to figure it out herself. The curse called for the heart of the one you love and Rumplestiltskin would never allow that to happen to himself, so making the two fall for one another? Well that was genius!

The fairy twirled in the air as she danced down on the winds that led into the chamber of a sleeping Evil Queen, slumbering she always looked like the young Queen she used to be — long before Rumplestiltskin had twisted and pulled her to this creature of his creation.

Thinking about what she were intending on doing, she remembered the one reason behind Regina wanting revenge in the first place. It had been love and the loss of it, perhaps with this she could fill the hole in her heart as well as Rumples, and when falling in love — they would no longer feel the need to make others suffer; and absolutely not cause Snow anymore harm.

Floating above the slumbering Queen, she leaned forward at the wait, pointing the tips of her toes and with the flick of her wand over the woman, she watched as the glistening particles shimmered all the way down to soft skin, disappearing from sight as it took place within and began the roots of a love that will have blossomed fully by the rise of the sun.

Noella, had already done so to Rumplestiltskin. It took a bit more precision and a lot of stealth, seeing as he had senses like the world's best sniffing dog. Lucky for her, she slipped by him without losing her wings!

With a huff of satisfaction, she wiggled her wings and set off out of the balcony and into the night, set on finding her way back to her superiors and waiting for the moment when they would all thank her for the contribution she put forth in helping the inhabitants of the forest.

They had fought the buzzing in their frames for a week when Regina finally decided to approach the matter at hand. Shifting her skirts away from her feet as she made her way into his castle, eyes rolling upon finding him at that damned wheel, she cleared her throat. Rumplestiltskin turned to see where the noise had come from and she felt her heart clench in her chest. Something was wrong. Something had happened.

"This week, we have avoided one another quite well." She stated, walking over to where he had a tea set placed on his dining table. She poured herself a generous cup and brought it to her lips, only to find the taste vile and not at all to her liking. "So...I am sure that you are feeling something that is—well—off too. Am I correct?" Glancing over her shoulder, she watched as the Dark One shifted on his stool and then pushed himself to his feet. Her eyes wandered of their own accord along his frame, mind noting how well his leather pants were clinging to his nimble frame.

"You might be, dearie." He walked up behind her, hands hovering at her hips without touching. All of his strength had been put into avoiding her, into spinning and spinning and spinning. But now that he had her here, in his home, she looked like a four course meal and in truth he had been starving for a bite all week long.

Just. One. Touch.

Before he could allow himself the act, she was away from him and halfway to his wheel, hips sashaying as she picked up the golden straw and gave it a once over. "This causes quite a difficult decision." Raising her brows, she brought her eyes back to his as he made his way over to where she stood. "Remember the sacrificing the one thing you love? Well, apparently that is not my steed any longer."

With a giggle, he reached out and plucked the straw from her fingertips, giving it a sniff before speaking "Mmm, and what is the one thing you love, Regina?" He knew, he could feel it and sense it. The way her magic poured from her frame was that akin to his own, like a heartbeat in the direction of her body. He could sense her even before she was near, he could feel her inside of that castle she called home, in truth he had been drawn mindfully to her the entire week while his body sat immobile at the wheel trying to clear his thoughts.

"You know the answer to that, already. I shouldn't have to spell it out for you." Leaning closer to him, she pronounced every single word with a slow precision and allowed her voice to dip just shy of a growl. "Now tell me, imp, what are we to do about this little predicament?" She already had an answer to the question yet she wanted to watch him admit to not having a second option.

His second option would be that of her sister and those damned heels of hers. But getting them wouldn't work considering he had taught her much the same he taught Regina and regardless of his belief in the brunette, fetching those shoes would be rather strenuous and irritating all by himself. "Give me a day. I will find a way to keep your revenge and-" Shit, he had almost said it, his reason behind the curse. Placing a hand against his chest, he thought on how much this heart of his would surely get him into trouble feeling strongly for the Queen, for his monster. Sure, they had dabbled in flirtation and skirted around teasing, but this — oh this was something else entirely.

"You see, the thing is, I won't need a day. Because I have an answer for us..right..now." A smile tugged at her lips the second an inquisitive look danced along her imp's features. "Do you want to know it?" Rumplestiltskin moved closer to her now, fingers bringing the straw out to graze along her collar bone — allowing it to do what he wanted to. With a nod, he watched as she began to prove that maybe — this time — the student had surpassed the teacher. "In Agrabah, they are said to have ancient scrolls as well as relics that could possibly help with casting a different curse."

"There is no different curse." He spat out, clearly agitated by her words that would be of no use — unless... "But to not go to a different land and instead bring what I need here.." Without thinking, he snaked his arms around her waist and tugged her close to his frame. "You might have a very good idea, a very good one indeed. It would have been a hard feat for me alone, but I think — just maybe we could do it together so long as you know why we;'re doing it in the first place."

"Well, go on then." Despite herself, she found warmth spreading throughout her limbs at the tender position she found herself in. Wrapped up in The Dark One's arms and against his chest, his magic licking at hers and creating sparks against her skin that were unseen to the naked eye but sensing them — that was a different matter entirely.

"My son." Oh, this was far more difficult than he thought. He shared it with his young maid once and she dared to try and turn him human. But now, here with Regina, he knew she harbored no such emotion and yet he wondered if her kiss could do the same as Belle's had... Eyes on her lips, he spoke again, this time in a hushed tone. "He's missing. Lost to me in the land without magic. That was my main reason for allowing you the dark curse." There it was, his cards were now laid out on the table for her to pick and prod at. What was he doing? This treacherous heart of his was clouding his judgement. Perhaps, he thought, he should rip it out like Cora had long ago.

"Then we will get him for you." The words left her lips before she could add the venom, before she could bite at him with the air of a Queen and not some love struck damsel who was in no distress. "We'll look for a spell to do such. Do you have something of his? I hear that helps with most spells." He nodded and that was when she brought her fingers beneath his chin, eyes setting on the man hidden beneath the beast. She wanted it all. The beast, the man, the crocodile. Leaning in, she captured his lips with hers.

At first, his kiss was timid and hesitant as he waited for the same sensation he had with Belle. the draining of his magic slowly leaving him and yet — it did not come. Instead, what he felt, sent a groan from his chest out and into the mouth of his monster. The magical field around them fed on each other, as if the magic itself were caressing, kissing, dancing with them in this entangled embrace.

Blue turned away from the scene she had conjured up, fuming. The scene had been of the two most powerful practitioners of magic in the depths of Agrabah, holding a scroll that would change the paths they had originally been set on for far too long. "Noella, what have you done?" She asked upon having seen the moment for herself. The young Fairy had come to her when she heard of the Dark Curse no longer being an option and Blue took it upon herself to peek behind the veil - so to speak - to see what exactly they were looking at now. "You do understand what these two intend to do now that the curse cannot be cast, correct?" She watched as the young fairy gave a timid nod of her head and although it was not kind, she wanted to throttle her. Blue had remembered the time when she met Regina, when she sensed what great darkness the young maiden would have been capable of and yet the girl had not heeded her words. Now people would suffer and it wasn't just Regina's fault for not fighting the all consuming darkness, no, this current string of events were on the shoulders of the younger fairy.

"W-What is going to happen? I couldn't hear what they were saying." In truth, Noella, couldn't hear it in the slightest. Peering into scenes occurring away from them had always been her weakest point. "Is it going to be better than what would have happened? I truly thought love could fight it all, save Snow and the unborn babe."

"What you have done, Noella, will be your own guilt to carry. I am sorry, I will truly miss you, but a slip up on this scale is catastrophe. The two most powerful people in all the land are now joined in a way that is unbind-able. And what made it worse is that they already felt strongly for one another. What you did..was amplify it so that we cannot retract what you have done. They will continue to be in love and this love will grow until all they see is each other, all they want is the happiness of their counterpart. But this.." Blue gestured slowly around her as if they were standing in front of the two love birds now. Sighing, her hands fell to her sides as she looked at the younger fairy in a pleading manner even if she knew that thinking their way out of this one would be useless. "They found a spell that will indeed reunite him with his young son. The ingredients call for the hearts of true love and what true love has created. They intend on taking the hearts of Snow, Charming and the babe Emma. Their lives will be gone and snuffed out long before their time. Noella, you must understand what I am to do now. Do you?"

Noella nodded, knowing very well that she had messed up in an epic way. Closing her eyes, she braced herself ot have her wings removed and be hurled back onto the earth to be a magical creature no more. Perhaps, she thought, she could be a seamstress. She had always like that idea. What was it that Tinkerbelle did with her life afterwards? She wondered and within seconds, she felt the absence of magic. Opening her eyes, she took in the forest beyond her and with her head bowed in shame, she began her journey to the closest tavern where she intended on drinking away her troubles and hoping that someone somewhere would find a way to save the Charming family from their horrible fate.
