A Lar by any other name

I've had these thoughts the last few days. Thoughts about Ruby and Red Riding Hood and Wolf and the wolf. I saw some of the new pics for the show and read some of the spoilers and came up with these drabbles for a weekly challenge because I needed to get the words out.

I bring you my new story idea:



Title: Names

It's been forever long since I did a Fic Roundup. Here is the list of stories I wrote in July, August, September, October, November, and December. This list doesn't include all of the holiday gift giving stories because most of those weren't revealed until after the new year.

I misread the word count for this challenge so figured I'd just post it in my journal so it's not lost forever! *grins* Now to find a completely different story that's only 150 words long. That's a hard word count for me to tell a story in.

I find that I'm bound and determined to tell this Ruby idea in my little drabbles, though. I'm going to wait for summer before writing it out to see if the writers don't give us more to go with her story.

Title: Shadows
Fandom: Once Upon a Time
Characters: Ruby, Stranger
Word Count: 440
Prompt: I12. Don't be so excited about so much responsibility. at 5_prompts

Summary: Ruby takes these kinds of jobs because she needs the money but she doesn't really want to be here.

I got first in the Other Character category at onceuponaland! Hooray! It had to have only one character and I wrote up a little bit of the idea I have for the Red Riding Hood story.

Title: Howl
Fandom: Once Upon a Time
Character: Red Riding Hood
Word Count: 223
Rating: PG

The cry of the wolf sent a shiver down her spine as the stars glared down at the earth. Everything was wrong. All the magic in the forest had been turned on it's side so that nothing was as it seemed. All because she had proclaimed the three words she wasn't supposed to say out loud. Now she was alone and there was no hope for her. No happy endings.

There had been a kiss but she only had fleeting memories of it. The magic that had ruined her life had taken her memories so that they felt like a dream, fading in the warm light of the sun. Everything that might have helped her come to terms with this new life had been taken from her, stripping her bare to the bone so that she couldn't even ache and bleed.

Pulling the red cape more firmly around herself, she turned toward the small house in the middle of the forest. This was her life now. It would be a good life but she hated that she might forget what she'd almost had. Who she'd almost been. A tear began to form in the corner of her eye but before it could fall, another wolf howl echoed through the tree. "Remind me," she whispered to the trees that pressed around her. "Never let me forget."
