All of the classic fairy tales and other stories exist together in the same continuity, though many of the events played out slightly different from how the stories are told in our world. The structure of the show cuts back and forth between the events happening in the real world and the corresponding events that happened in the fairy tale world.
On the night of her 28th birthday, bail bonds collector Emma Swan is reunited with Henry Mills-the son she gave up for adoption ten years previous-who takes her back to his hometown of Storybrooke, Maine.
After a death in Storybrooke, Emma took over the Sheriff's spot. Regina keeps going after Emma, she won't quit until she is out of Storybrooke, Maine. She hates that Henry's birthmother is here.
Once Regina finds out who Emma really is, she has to think fast before she undoes the curse that she did 28 years ago. So, she made a special type of dessert-an apple dessert-that was meant for Emma, but before she could eat it. Henry took a bite from him and he is now in a magic coma.
Now, Regina and Emma have to work together to save Henry. They both have to go to the clock tower, where they have to fight off a dragon to get a potion that they need for Henry.
Will Regina finally get Emma out of Storybrooke? Will Emma Swan believe in magic or will she not believe in it? Will Henry ever wake up or will he be pronounced dead?
When 17 year old Emma Swan moves to Storybrooke, Main to live with her father she expects that her new life will be as dull as the town.
But in spite of her awkward manner and low expectations, she finds that her new classmates are drawn to this pale, blonde new girl in town. But not, it seems, the Jones family. These five adopted brothers and sisters obviously prefer their own company and will make no exception for Emma.
Emma is convinced that killian Jones in particular hates her, but she feels a strange attraction to him, although his hostility makes her feel almost physically ill. He seems determined to push her away until, that is, he saves her life from an out of control car.
Emma will soon discover that there is a very good reason for Killian's coldness. He, and his family, are vampires and he knows how dangerous it is for others to get too close.
After all the magical realms got united as one with storybrooke in a land without magic, heroes celebrating the death of villains and the coronation of the former evil queen Regina and now known as the good queen, a new dark one has risen in the woods and he has future plans for heroes.
With the curse broken, the residents of Storybrooke struggle with resolving their original and cursed memories, left wondering about the fate of their land. When Rumplestiltskin/Mr. Gold successfully introduces magic into the real world, some of the Storybrooke residents try to figure out how to return home, leading to an incident with the Mad Hatter's teleporting hat that causes Emma and Snow White/Mary Margaret to be accidentally transported to the Enchanted Forest.
They discover that part of the realm was spared from the curse, keeping the remaining inhabitants frozen during the 28 years. Among them are allies Aurora and Mulan, along with enemies Regina's mother Cora, and Captain Hook. The latter two follow Emma and Mary Margaret as they successfully make it back to Storybrooke, with Cora wanting to get even with Regina, and Hook wanting to kill Rumplestiltskin for taking his hand and his lover.
Meanwhile, Rumplestiltskin works to bypass the protective boundary and leave Storybrooke to find his missing son Baelfire, who is revealed to be Henry's father. The magical boundary around Storybrooke starts to falter, allowing strangers from the outside world to enter the town, including outsiders Greg Mendell and Tamara, who secretly work for a mysterious organization tracking and eliminating magic. Their actions lead to Henry's captivity in Neverland.
This is a Once upon a time fanfiction.
What if the curse didn't take place when Emma was born? What if she grew up in the enchanted forest? But, not as a damsel in destress princess, but as the savior, a worrier princess, who fights along her parents to keep her kingdom safe from The Evil Queen?
In this story, it's based off the pilot, when Snow and Charming first heard about the curse. Except, in this story I'm writing it based on the curse never happening until after Emma and Hook meet, and fall in love.
On their wedding day, (just as if it was Snow and Charming) The Evil queen threatened them. Just a couple of months later they find out they're expecting. When Emma is delivering their daughter, 'Hope' the curse arrives.
10 years later, on Hope's birthday she receives a package in the mail. A book called 'Once Upon a Time ' and a postcard that says 'Storybrooke'
She eventually finds out about the curse, and now it's up to her and her father to find their family and break the curse.
Will they succeed?
