I loved the Tangled AU! Could you do a Once Upon A Time AU, please?

Absolutely!

Once Upon A Time AU

This ones a bit odd, but I actually love it. I loved this show. The first season, anyways. Once Upon A Time reminds me a little bit of me writing a fanfiction and then sort of being over it and fizzling out at the end.

But the first season is like... everything.

I love it so much.

Okay, so there’s a lot of characters with complicated backstories in this one. I’m only going to discuss a few of them this time around.

Racetrack Higgins (The Savior)

An orphan with a troubled past.

Race grew up in and out of orphanages and group homes, lost and alone

He is a stubborn, determined kid who grew up learning that he could rely on no one but himself

He’d always known he was different. He never fit in anywhere

He was a thief for more than half of his life and he got very good at pickpocketing and conning his way out of things

He grows up to be a bail bondsman

He’s kind of a badass.

On Race’s twenty fourth birthday, there’s a knock on his door just as he’s about to devour a single cupcake that he got after going out on a date with someone he met online which turned out to be someone he was looking for for his job

He finds a little boy with a brace on his right leg. He can’t be any older than seven.

The boy claims to be his son.

Race tries to explain that he doesn’t have a son. He never did.

The boy, who tells Race to call him Crutchie, tells Race that he didn’t know about him yet. But he tells Race that seven years ago, a girl gave him up. A girl named Anya.

The kid goes on about fairytales and how his adoptive father is truly evil and has trapped the town he lives in from its other world.

Race lets the kid in, a bit panicked for a minute before he regains control of himself and tells the boy he’s calling the police. Crutchie just tells him that if he does, he’ll tell the police that Race kidnapped him.

So, Race makes a deal with Crutchie. He tells Crutchie he’ll take him back, like the kid wanted him to, and he’ll listen to the stories that Crutchie had

Crutchie agrees

Race takes his supposed son back to this town. Storybrooke, Maine.

That’s when things begin to get crazy

Crutchie tells Race that he’s the product of true love, the son of Snow White and Prince Charming

Race doesn’t believe him. He tells him that he’s an orphan.

But the kid seems to know an awful lot about him.

Race gets sucked into this strange town after meeting the boy’s father who is odd and a little creepy

He does try to drive back to New York that night.

But he’s driven off the road by a wolf, crashing his car

He wakes up in a jail cell the next day and is stuck in this town. This town where time has just begun to move for the first time in twenty four years.

I could go on and on. Race goes and has been through a lot.

Katherine Plumber (Snow White)

a born princess and a born leader.

She had a happy childhood with her widowed mother up until it is announced that there is a stepfather coming into her life.

Her stepfather is a man she’d met before. Someone who used to be her friend. She indirectly killed the man’s first love

But she doesn’t know that

She just knows that they used to be friends

A couple months go by, after the wedding. And things are seemingly normal.

Until her mother dies unexpectedly.

And suddenly the man turns cruel and all Snow White has left to do is run as the man begins to try and kill him for killing his true love weeks before he was forced into a marriage he wanted no part of.

Snow flees to the woods, leaving the kingdom in the care of her stepfather, the Evil King Pulitzer.

She helps her people from the inside, per say, but is painted as a bandit by the royal castle and is hunted by the palace guards. She learns how to fight and steal and hide.

And one day, she steals from a prince. A very intriguing prince.

And a love story begins.

A prince and a disgraced princess. What could go wrong?

Eventually, the two are able to get married and expect a child.

It’s on the night that this child is born that the Evil King casts a curse over the land, trapping the kingdom in a land without magic, their prison being time as it does not move.

Not for 24 years.

In the real world, Snow becomes Katherine. Katherine Plumber. She’s a second grade teacher at the elementary school in town and a volunteer down at the hospital. Everyone adores her, except for Crutchie’s father, Mr. Pulitzer.

When Race meets her, she admits she’s the one who gave Crutchie the story book he’s become obsessed with. Race laughs and offhandedly asks her who she is in the book.

She says Snow White.

Race freezes for a moment but shakes it off.

Katherine likes Race. They end up becoming fast friends. Really close. And Kath eventually offers Race a place to stay after Race is kicked out of the motel he’d been staying at.

They become best friends.

She’s only twenty six.

Remember time’s frozen.

But Katherine is Race’s mother.

Just… neither of them know it.

Jack Kelly (Prince Charming)

A prince.

Well… sort of.

Born a peasant. He grew up on a farm. His father died when he was young. His mother was all he had.

Or so he thought.

But let’s not get into that now. What’s important is that Jack makes a deal with the Dark One. Pretend to be a prince, and his mother can live out her days on their farm.

He took the deal when he was seventeen.

He hates it.

The king hates him. Tries to torture him in fact, but cannot kill him, as he already lost what he calls his real son.

In reality, it was Jack’s twin brother, whom he was separated from at birth.

The king resents him but forces him to look and act the part, eventually promising him to marriage.

Jack doesn’t fancy his wife to be, but agrees, if only to get away from the king.

While on a trip with this insufferably dull woman, their carriage is robbed. By a single thief. A thief who Jack tackles to the ground.

It’s a woman.

A woman who gives him a scar on his chin by hitting him with a rock and running away.

But Jack doesn’t give up that easily.

He tracks down this thief who has taken a very valuable ring. His mother’s ring.

His name is James. He hates it. He’s called Jack for short to those who know him.

But Snow never calls him that.

“Charming” suits him.

After several adventures with this woman, ones where she saved his life and he saved her’s, after waking her from a sleeping curse, they get married and are expecting a baby.

That night, a curse falls over the land.

As Jack is rushing his newborn baby, Tyler James, to safety, he is stabbed. And he passes out just as the world goes dark.

In the real world, he is a John Doe in a coma at the hospital that Katherine volunteers at.

She reads to him every night.

And when he wakes up, he can’t remember a thing.

He has a wife. A wife thats not Katherine.

But he can’t help but see Katherine anyways.

And that stirs up trouble for the towns golden girl.

Eventually, Jack meets Race. A for a second he remembers.

And then Pulitzer is there to take it all away.

But Jack and Race are practically inseparable after that and end up becoming sheriffs of the town.

Jack is twenty eight.

Okay, since there’s so many characters and so many intricate storylines, I’m gonna stop at these three (my favorite three) for now.

I have another ask for this RP in my asks so I’ll dive a little more into a few other characters (or more on these ones) then. But if y’all wanna hear about specific characters or wanna see some scenes from the show, just let me know!

I do love the idea of this RP…
