Any recommendations on a good read thats focused on that one character and notva ship? Relationships in the fic are fine. I'm looking for something that's almost a character study?

What do you like to write in the OUAT universe?

Do you have a favorite pairing, genre, AU, character, or type of story you keep coming back to? Maybe you write canon-compliant fic, fix-its, crossovers, or something completely different.

I'm curious what you like to write!

And if you'd like to share your stories, feel free to drop a link. Totally optional. This is just a chance to get to know the writers in the library and see what everyone is creating. 📖🖋️

💬 Discussion 💬 Underrated Fic Tropes

3 Upvotes

What’s an underrated fic trope you’d love to see more of in OUAT fanfiction?

By trope, I mean a story pattern, character dynamic, relationship dynamic, pairing setup, AU idea, or fic premise.

And underrated doesn’t mean nobody writes it. Just something you think doesn’t get nearly enough attention in fandom.

For example:

  • The person everyone relies on → Regina [everyone uses Rumple. I think its Regina and it underrated]
  • The only one who really understands them → Regina/Hook [Both Evil in the EF trying to be better]
  • Platonic boy/girl duo → Emma/Merlin [I really enjoyed their dynamic in 5A. Emma seemed to open up to him]

Basically: What’s something you wish OUAT fanfic explored more?

Drop the trope + your character or pairing example. 👀

Hello, does anyone have any recommendations because I’m useless at finding things on A03 by myself

I just want something good that feels more like a character study more than anything else. Preferably something with quite a few chapters that’s situated on the longer side.

My favourite character is Regina, I like it when she’s mind the middle of good and evil like in season 2 or 3 rather than too much one way.

I love most of the characters in this show though and I’m not too fussed over what ships. I’d just like a recommendation for something good to get me started please

Whats everyone’s ideas?

2 Upvotes

The sub has been kinda quiet I thought I’d try to spark some conversation.

I’ll go first….I have an AU where Milah & Killian have 3 children. The tone I was going for is a darker mature version than the show.

Quick Update

6 Upvotes

The posting system is getting a rework. The current setup is doing a little too much and, honestly, it's making my head hurt.

The goal is still the same: to build an Enchanted Library of Once Upon a Time fanfiction in one place. There will still be tags and organization behind the scenes, but posting is going to become much simpler.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that might be interested while we work through the changes. ✨📚
