In Once Upon a Time, Y/N is the only one who remembers life before the Dark Curse—and instead of stopping it, they choose to stay and watch Regina Mills from the shadows. As suspicion turns into a slow, dangerous connection, Y/N must face the truth behind their silence: they were waiting to see if the Evil Queen could become someone worth saving.
Twenty-eight years ago, the Dark Curse took everything from Emma Swan. What nobody knows is that it took someone else, too. Separated from her twin sister the night the curse was cast, Y/N grew up in a forgotten realm far from Storybrooke, surviving a life filled with magic, monsters, and unanswered questions. When a mysterious portal finally brings her to Storybrooke, she comes face-to-face with the family she never knew and the sister she spent her life believing abandoned her. As old secrets begin to surface and an ancient prophecy is uncovered, Emma and Y/N learn the truth: the Savior was never meant to be one person. It was always meant to be two. Now, with darkness rising across the realms and a destiny neither of them asked for, the twins must decide whether they can trust each other—or risk losing everything before they ever become a family. The Savior was never alone.
Y/N came to Barden University to focus on her future, not get tangled up in campus drama—or in Beca Mitchell. Unfortunately, avoiding Beca turns out to be impossible. What starts as constant arguments and sarcastic jabs quickly becomes a rivalry everyone on campus seems to enjoy watching. While Y/N refuses to be intimidated by Beca’s attitude, Beca can’t seem to understand why Y/N gets under her skin like no one else. As their lives become increasingly intertwined through music, late-night studio sessions, and a growing circle of shared friends, the line between annoyance and something much more complicated begins to blur. But when new opportunities and old insecurities threaten to pull them apart, both women are forced to confront feelings they’ve spent far too long denying. A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance filled with sharp banter, found family, music, and the realization that sometimes the person who drives you the craziest is the one you can’t imagine living without.
A survivor newly arrived in Jackson is assigned to patrol duty alongside Ellie Williams, a skilled but impulsive young fighter already known for pushing boundaries. Their first encounters are marked by constant friction—clashing instincts, opposing approaches to survival, and an immediate distrust that neither is willing to drop. Despite this, the demands of patrol life force them into repeated partnerships outside the settlement walls, where survival depends on coordination more than cooperation. Over time, their shared experiences in the harsh wilderness surrounding Jackson begin to blur the line between rivalry and reliance, setting the stage for a complicated bond formed in a world where trust is both rare and dangerous.
Y/N spent years believing he would never have a home again. After losing his family and the only life he had ever known, he survived by moving from place to place, never staying long enough to belong anywhere. Then the Dark Curse brought him to Storybrooke, where he unknowingly built a new life as a mechanic on the edge of town. When the curse breaks and old memories return, Y/N is forced to confront the painful past he thought he’d buried. Surrounded by heroes, villains, and fairy tale legends, he finds himself becoming an unexpected part of Storybrooke’s strange family. Whether he’s helping defend the town from magical threats, fixing Emma Swan’s car for the hundredth time, sharing quiet afternoons with Belle in the library, or getting drawn into Regina Mills’ orbit, Y/N slowly discovers that some people are worth staying for. As old wounds resurface and new relationships begin to form, Y/N must learn that surviving isn’t the same as living—and that home isn’t always a place. Sometimes, it’s the people who choose to stand beside you. A story about healing, found family, second chances, and finding where you belong in a town where everyone has a fairy tale.
For as long as they can remember, Y/N has carried a truth no one else believes. They were once the heir to Eldoria, a prosperous kingdom hidden between realms. They remember its towering castles, its bustling streets, and the family who raised them to rule. They remember every detail of the life they lost. The problem is that Eldoria no longer exists. Not because it was destroyed, but because it was erased. Centuries ago, a powerful sorcerer cast a forbidden spell upon the kingdom, removing it from history itself. Maps rewrote themselves. Books forgot its name. Entire realms lost every memory of its existence. To the world, Eldoria was never real. Only Y/N remains. Protected by ancient magic, they are the last living proof that the kingdom ever existed. Determined to uncover the truth and restore what was stolen, Y/N arrives in Storybrooke seeking answers. Instead, they find disbelief. Even the town’s strongest magic cannot locate Eldoria, and every attempt to prove their story ends in failure. No one is more skeptical than Regina Mills. Having spent years dealing with curses, dark magic, and deceit, Regina refuses to accept the existence of a kingdom that no spell, book, or artifact can verify. Yet the more she investigates, the more impossible Y/N’s story becomes to dismiss. Strange magical traces begin surfacing throughout Storybrooke, hinting at a history that should not exist. Reluctantly, Regina agrees to help. Together, they embark on a journey across realms, searching for fragments of a forgotten kingdom and unraveling a mystery buried deep within the fabric of magic itself. Along the way, Regina discovers that Y/N’s fight is about more than reclaiming a throne. It’s about preserving the memory of a family, a home, and an entire people who have been condemned to oblivion. As clues emerge, so do feelings neither expected. What begins as a partnership built on necessity slowly grows into trust, understanding, and something far deeper. For Regina,
When a grand tournament is held to choose the Evil Queen’s personal champion, Y/N, a battle-scarred warrior with no noble title and no desire for power, unexpectedly emerges victorious. Thrust into the heart of Regina’s court, he becomes her protector as threats against the crown begin to multiply. As conspiracies, assassination attempts, and the looming threat of war spread across the Enchanted Forest, Y/N and Regina are forced to work together to uncover a dangerous plot that could destroy the kingdom. But the closer they grow, the more both must confront the truth behind the masks they wear—and decide whether redemption, trust, and love are possible in a world divided by heroes and villains.
Fifteen years after the destruction of House Thorne, Y/N returns to the ruins of his childhood home and uncovers evidence that his family’s massacre was no accident. Hidden beneath Briarwatch lies a secret capable of exposing some of the most powerful nobles in the Enchanted Forest, threatening to plunge the realm into chaos. As old conspiracies resurface and tensions between kingdoms rise, Y/N must uncover the truth behind his family’s fall before those responsible silence him for good. Alongside unlikely allies—including Queen Regina, Snow White, Prince Charming, Mulan, and Red Riding Hood—he finds himself caught between justice, loyalty, and a past that refuses to stay buried.
