I'd rather like to get to know you and pick your brain about what I just helped with.

Tea? Or whatever passes for it here

	I made some unpleasant deals to achieve this. Not giving up yet. I can well enough. Will trained me on use of a sword. I'm not great but I can defend myself without magic (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alright then. I wish you luck with it. Good. Sometimes people's powers have a habit of acting up. Sometimes they diminish, sometimes they disappear and this one time they got switch around. It's better to have all your nonmagic skills at the ready just in case. ... You mentioned being the Red Queen. Were you in Wonderland? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was. I asked Will to steal the Looking Glass from Malefecant. Still fairly certain Robin hates me for that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's quite the crossover. And here I thought being Charming's third wife was too out there. If Maleficent is who I think she is, that took some serious courage. Not wise to meddle in the affairs of dragons. Robin still around in your world? That's comforting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Third wife? No great true love? He's brave. Or an idiot. Or a brave idiot. We thought Wonderland could give us a better life. We were so wrong. He's still around far as I know, we don't cross paths much anymore since I kind of had Will betray him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You would think the fact that he had two previous wives would have clued me in, but I was young, willing to get out of my stepmother's house and my fairy godmother said it would be fine. She was wrong.

Sometimes love is enough. Sometimes it isn't. It depends on the parties involved.

I can see why he wouldn't be keen on socializing. People tend to be prickly when betrayed.

	It wasn't Charming Ella married but I believe he was friends with the man. I don't know if Will can forgive all I did, not sure I would. I feel bad about it, I genuinely do (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

If the Charming in your world was anything like the one in mind, she dodged a bullet.

Happily Ever After takes a lot of work and is not for everyone. But you are willing to give it a try. I say go for it.

Admitting past mistakes is a big deal. You have to live with what you did, but you know better now and will do better in the future.That's the best we can all do.

No he was actually fairly interesting, he and Snow White were the great love of our time. Ella married Prince Thomas. He was, just sort of...dull. I'm sure she saw more in him.

That bloody ball was awful though.

Perhaps. I was a terrible Queen, I really was, but I refuse to leave my people at the mercy of Jafar. I won't.

He's truly insane, I didn't see it at the start but...he's insane.

	A girl's dull can be another girl's dream guy. And sometime's dull not so bad. I mean, Charming in my world was all kinds of exciting and look where that got me. Jafar? As in the bad guy from Aladdin? Was Aladdin around by chance? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, he wasn't. I'd heard the name of course, but he wasn't an issue (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	action_cindy 2016-08-30 08:16 pm UTC (link)
	Aw, that's too bad. I have some fond memories of the Aladdin of my world. I'm sure you'll make a good queen if you put your mind to it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notpureofheart 2016-08-31 06:01 pm UTC (link)
	Oh really? By all accounts he was just some grubby little street rat who caused problems. Oh I don't think I would. I had every chance to do better (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	In my world, he cleaned up nicely and I could relate to his story. He was delightful in the sack too. At least you learned from your mistakes. The man who took over our kingdoms and killed thousands is still plotting to get them back somehow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notpureofheart 2016-09-05 07:15 am UTC (link)
	Oh really?! There were times...I mean I had to convince Jafar to trust me and he's all ego but I never let it go that far. In the end I saw who I had allied with and that he was quite mad. And Will, the way he looked at me... I hated it. Because he was right. I had slipped. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Villains with an ego are the worst. It takes a lot to get through their defenses. That sounds bad. Still, it takes guts to admit you screwed up and make amends. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not certain I ever really did. Thank you. That actually means a great deal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A little ego is good for the soul. You just gotta keep the big picture in mind. No proble. sometimes I do give good advice. I hope it helps. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notpureofheart 2016-09-10 10:22 am UTC (link)
	I'm trying. It does help. I wonder if I could ever have gotten to this point with Ella (Reply to this) (Parent)
