The Thirteenth Fairy

        “ ━ & what proof have you that I was committing           such a heinous crime? I should think you would           know me better! “

     “I heard once that fairies have no souls, and can only earn them through subservience to humanity,“ she told Regina idly as she took the apple with her fingertips.  “Perhaps that explains the tradition of fairy godmothers.“

Emma was not going to be tricked or deceived by Regina, NO, now she could see that the woman couldn’t currently be trusted to show her loyalty to them, so she was just going to have to go in and do things herself.

But when she walked in, she didn’t expect to see HIM.

The newcomer was not, however, focused on Maleficent.  Her eyes were on Rumpelstiltskin.  And why not?  Even Maleficent really didn’t care to be dealing with him.  Heroism and villainy and all that nonsense were of precious little interest to her.  What interested Maleficent was efficiency, and a kind of unity of intention and actions.  Rumpelstiltskin possessed neither.

"I-what?"

     “No because I knew you wouldn’t get up to let me in and I was worried about you” she admitted, crossing her arms, how did she stand it in this cold castle. She held out her hand as a fire ball appeared and she threw it at the fire place which ignited and began to heat the room. 

     “Worried!“  This exclamation was closely followed by a harsh bark of laughter.  Maleficent hadn’t laughed in years.  Maybe longer.  She couldn’t remember the last time she’d laughed, even at someone’s expense.  “Oh, how very sweet,“ she sneered.

Instead of adding to her irritation, Regina’s casual reminder of their last encounter cools Maleficent’s temper immediately.  She remembers why she’s bothered to watch Regina at all, remembers the harsh disparity between the maddened woman who sought to fight Maleficent to the death and the carefully-controlled woman who stands before her picking apples.

This go to all the people who don’t know about the original freaking tale. Maleficent didnt have a name till the disney adaptation of ‘The sleeping beauty’ give her one, she was know in the original tale as the Wicked Fairy Godmother, she was the thirteenth fairy, the one who wasnt invited to the party because the fucking king didnt have enough room for her to sit at their table. This was an insult for someone of her status, so she cursed the king’s baby and yadda yadda. All that jaz.

"Come on, you’re better than that!"

"I swear, this time it won’t end in anyone going to jail."

"I said it needed to be believable!"

"I might have tuned you out for the last hour, sorry."

"Wait, you were having second thoughts? About all of this?"

"Faith is a luxury afforded to the naive."

"So that rule about waiting thirty minutes before swimming WAS for a reason."

"I showed up didn’t I?"

"Well this shitshow just got a lot more interesting."

"You did not just use your one phone call to order a pizza!"

"Please tell me you have an extra set of keys!"

"You’ve seen this episode six times already! Find a new obsession."

"How did you manage to turn the munchies into a three course meal?"

"What do you mean spending three days in my underwear watching Netflix doesn’t count as a vacation?"

"You were busy, and I needed nachos!"

"I won’t apologize for following my stomach!"

"I might have gotten drunk and dropped my phone in a deep fryer."

"But what happens if I push this button?"

"Yeah I get it! Pushing the button was a bad idea!"

”Pretty sure I’m going to Hell for that.”

"I spent the weekend on Google Earth pretending to be a world traveler, so I’d say it was productive!"

"You gotta do it again, I had the lens cap on."

"I’m not crying, I just got some emotions in my eye."

"You’re not that good of an actor."

"My arm doesn’t bend that way!"

"Your message said you ‘had the pox’. I wasn’t sure if you meant chicken or small."

"Don’t be silly! I totally brought you a donut too… but, then I ate it."

"No, I put that poison sticker on there. What? I didn’t want anyone drinking my booze!"

"He had that flashing neon sign above his head that said ‘tragic backstory’. I was curious!"

"You say ‘a waste of bail money’, I say ‘a great story for future generations!’"
