Y/N has spent her entire life believing she is ordinary. But after arriving in Storybrooke, strange magic begins to awaken within her—and the truth about her past slowly comes to light. She is the long-lost daughter of Belle and Rumplestiltskin, the Dark One, and the darkness she was sent away to escape may be searching for her once again. As Y/N struggles to understand who she is, she grows close to Killian Jones—a pirate with a complicated past and a centuries-old hatred for her father. Despite every reason they should stay apart, Killian begins to see Y/N for who she truly is, while she sees the goodness hidden beneath the man he believes himself to be. But when the Dark One’s magic chooses Y/N as its next host, she must decide whether she will follow the darkness written into her blood—or choose a future of her own. Because sometimes, the light is not something you are born with. Sometimes, it is something you choose.
At Briar University, everyone knows there’s one rivalry that never ends. Field hockey versus ice hockey. Y/N is one of Briar’s best field hockey players, while John Logan is one of the hockey team’s stars. Their teams are constantly competing, arguing, and finding new ways to prove their sport is better. And Y/N and Logan are no different. They tease each other, challenge each other, and turn practically everything into a competition. But when their rivalry slowly turns into friendship, the lines between competition and something more begin to blur. With their teammates watching every interaction and neither willing to admit what’s happening, Y/N and Logan find themselves caught between two teams, two sports, and two very different hearts. Because sometimes the person you’re trying hardest to beat… is the person you were never supposed to fall for.
Adam Carlsen wasn’t looking for love. After a messy breakup with Olive Smith, the last thing he wanted was another complicated relationship. Then he met Y/N. She’s an Education student at Stanford, completely outside his academic world, and somehow the only person who doesn’t seem intimidated by him. What starts as an unexpected friendship slowly becomes something more. Adam begins showing his feelings in the smallest ways—dropping her favorite coffee off at the library while she studies, remembering the little things she mentions, bringing her food when she forgets to eat, and finding excuses to spend time with her. Y/N thinks he’s simply being kind. Everyone else knows better. Because Adam Carlsen has already fallen. He just hasn’t figured out how to tell her yet.
Y/N never expected to become the student Adam Carlsen remembered. After a messy breakup with Olive Smith, Adam has made one thing very clear to himself: he’s not looking for another relationship. Then Y/N walks into his classroom. She’s intelligent, determined, and completely unafraid to challenge him. What starts as a simple professor-student relationship slowly becomes something Adam finds himself thinking about far too often. A coffee left beside her books. A quiet word of encouragement after a difficult exam. A book he thinks she’ll enjoy. Little things that mean nothing to Y/N—but everything to Adam. Because somewhere between lectures, late nights in the library, and conversations that last a little longer than they should, Adam realizes he’s fallen for her. The problem? She’s his student. So Adam keeps his feelings to himself, determined not to cross a line. But falling in love was never part of the syllabus. And Adam Carlsen is about to learn that some things can’t be solved with logic.
Y/N has spent her entire life searching for answers. With no memory of her childhood and only a silver rose pendant connecting her to a past she cannot remember, she arrives in the mysterious town of Storybrooke—unaware that she is the lost daughter of Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip. During the Dark Curse, Y/N meets David Nolan. As their friendship slowly grows into something more, David falls in love with her instead of Snow White. But when the curse begins to break and David remembers his life as Prince Charming, their relationship is put to the test. With an ancient prophecy, a forgotten realm, and secrets surrounding Y/N’s birth threatening everything they love, David must decide whether to follow the destiny written for him—or choose the love he found when the curse changed his story. Because sometimes, true love is not written by fate. Sometimes, it is a choice.
Y/N has spent her entire life believing she is ordinary. Raised by her loving but overprotective parents, Alice and Jefferson Hatter, she never understood why they kept so many secrets—or why they became afraid whenever Wonderland was mentioned. But Y/N was never meant to exist. Born from a forbidden love between a girl who escaped Wonderland and a man capable of travelling between worlds, Y/N inherited a rare power: the ability to open doors between realms without a magical hat. Her parents have spent her entire life hiding her from the Queen of Hearts. In Storybrooke, Y/N’s closest friend is Henry Mills. When Henry becomes convinced that the town is trapped beneath a curse, Y/N joins him in searching for answers. But strange things soon begin happening around her. Mirrors reveal places that do not exist. Doors appear where there were once empty walls. And a voice from Wonderland begins calling her name. As Y/N uncovers the truth about her family and the power she carries, Alice and Jefferson are forced to reveal the secret they have spent years protecting. The Queen of Hearts knows Y/N exists. And she will do anything to use Y/N’s magic to escape Wonderland. Now, Y/N must decide whether to continue hiding—or step through the door and face the world her parents have spent their lives keeping her from. Because Y/N was never meant to belong to just one world. She was born between two.
Y/N has always believed that family is something you choose. As the daughter of Cinderella and Prince Thomas, she grew up believing in kindness, hope, and happy endings. But after falling in love with Jefferson Hatter, Y/N found a different kind of fairytale—a life with her husband and their daughter, Grace. Y/N may not be Grace’s biological mother, but she has loved and raised her as her own. Together, Y/N, Jefferson, and Grace have built a family held together by love. Then the Dark Curse brings them to Storybrooke. Their memories of the Enchanted Forest disappear, but their family remains. Even without remembering the life they once shared, Y/N and Jefferson still find their way back to each other. But when Emma Swan arrives, strange memories begin returning. Jefferson dreams of Wonderland. Grace draws doors leading to places she has never seen. And Y/N begins hearing a voice calling to her through mirrors. The Queen of Hearts has found a way into Storybrooke—and she wants the magic Y/N inherited from Cinderella. To protect Grace and save their family, Y/N and Jefferson must return to the world that once tore them apart. Because some families are born. Some are chosen. And some are built between worlds.
Y/N has just begun her first semester at Stanford as a Music and Theatre student. New campus. New classes. New friends. A completely new life. Luckily, she has Olive Smith. As Y/N’s Big, Olive quickly becomes one of the first people who makes Stanford feel like home. What Y/N doesn’t know is that Olive has a complicated history with someone she hasn’t met yet. Adam Carlsen. A brilliant, intimidating biology professor—and Olive’s ex-boyfriend. Their relationship ended badly, leaving behind hurt feelings and unresolved tension. But Y/N knows none of that when she accidentally crosses paths with Adam for the first time. She doesn’t know his reputation. She doesn’t know his history with Olive. She doesn’t even know who he is. She only knows that the quiet, intimidating man she keeps running into seems strangely interested in her world of music and theatre. And Adam starts noticing her. First her music. Then her passion. Then the little things. Soon, he’s bringing her coffee during long rehearsals, leaving it beside her while she studies, remembering her performance schedule, and quietly showing up when she needs support. Y/N thinks he’s simply being kind. Adam knows he’s falling. And he’s falling first. But she’s Olive’s Little. He’s Olive’s ex. And Y/N has no idea that the man slowly becoming important to her is connected to her Big in a way that could change everything.
Eight years ago, a baby girl was left on the Heywards’ doorstep. No note. No explanation. No one ever came looking for her. The Heywards raised her as their own, and Pope Heyward grew up with a little sister he never expected to have. Now Y/N is eight years old—and she’s determined to follow Pope everywhere. Pope is part of the Pogues. Therefore, in Y/N’s mind, she is part of the Pogues too. Whether they’re exploring the Cut, heading out on the boat, or getting themselves into trouble, Y/N always wants to be there. Pope constantly tries to keep her safe, but his little sister has inherited his curiosity and stubbornness. JJ thinks she’s hilarious. Kiara keeps an eye on her. John B treats her like the little sister he never asked for. And Pope? Pope would do absolutely anything for her. She may not have been born a Heyward, but she’s never doubted that she belongs. Because family isn’t always about where you came from. Sometimes, it’s about the people who chose you—and loved you like you were theirs from the very beginning.
Y/N has always been surrounded by love. As the daughter of Cupid, she possesses the rare ability to see the invisible threads connecting people’s hearts.

Then she meets Graham Humbert. For the first time, Y/N sees nothing. No golden thread. No broken bond. No connection at all. As Y/N searches for answers, she grows close to the quiet and guarded sheriff. But with Graham’s heart hidden away by Regina, Y/N cannot tell whether his feelings are real—and she refuses to use her magic to make him love her. When the truth about Graham’s missing heart begins to unravel, Y/N must decide whether she is willing to risk everything for a love she cannot see. Because the daughter of Cupid can guide everyone else toward their happy ending. But she was never supposed to find one of her own.

Kiara is Y/N’s safe place. Pope is the responsible one who somehow always ends up carrying her things. Together, they create the kind of family JJ never had. Between beach days, boat rides, bedtime stories, scraped knees, and the occasional Pogue disaster, Y/N grows up surrounded by people who love her. JJ may not know how to be a perfect dad.

His reason to come home.
