Summary
There, nestled awkwardly against the base of the steps, was a child.
A girl. Young, eighteen months? Maybe twenty. Her cheeks were red from crying, and her nose running, her little fists clenched around a fraying scrap of blanket. No coat. Just a too-thin dress and tights, dusted with dirt and morning chill.
Regina’s breath caught in her throat. She took a step forward. The child flinched.
Pinned to the girl’s collar, hand-scrawled in uneven ink. Her heart lurched even before she read it.Back in the Enchanted Forest, Regina had instituted a policy that allowed unwanted children to be surrendered to the Royal Guard if the surrendering parent provided the child's name and the kingdom in which they were born, along with the name of the monarch.
This child had been left in front of the sheriff's station, as close to the royal guard as one would find in Storybrooke.

Summary
Etho’s knees knock against Gem’s, both sitting cross-legged beside the coffee table. She smiles at him, pasta sauce smeared around her lips and he remembers sitting at that crowded table back on Wylie Street, knees pressed against hers from the sheer amount of chairs pressed in against the cramped table, eating his cold spaghetti bolognese as he considered that it might not have been the worst place to end up.
It’s not spaghetti bolognese and Etho isn’t nine years old on Wylie Street. Gem’s not five and her teeth don’t have gaps in them- she’s grown into her big imploring eyes and there aren't any grazes on the skin of her knees.
; the story of siblings getting to know eachother after more than a decade apart.

Summary
Pepper Potts is a lot of things: a former small time model, a loving mother of three, personal assistant to one of the richest and most powerful men alive (at least until the jackass fired her for no good reason!), and now... kidnapper?
Well, that's such a nasty word, isn't it? It's not like she expected her asshole former boss to wash up on shore with no memory of who he was. And it wasn't like she could just leave him to his own devices when someone obviously wants him dead. Taking him home with her was the only option.
Making it happen by pretending he's her husband... okay yeah, not one of her better ideas.
Based on the movie Overboard.

Summary
Techno was happy. He had good parents who supported him in everything, and a twin brother he loved more than anything.
Then, in a single moment, it all was shattered.
His mother and his brother Wilbur died in a car accident, his father collapsed under the weight of his grief and took it out on Techno, who desperately tried to hold his life together as they moved to a completely unfamiliar city and he had to start at a new school.
To be honest, it went better than expected. He found friends. The only problem was hiding from them how, behind his façade, he was slowly but surely falling apart. -

Summary
"Promise me, Mihael, if we get separated, we'll find each other no matter what," I whispered, idly grazing the strings of my guitar.
"If I can't find you, then you'll have to become a freaking rockstar and be on every music channel, so there's no way I don't find you, Mail," Mihael replied, and I knew that behind the apparent joke, there was a promise.
I didn't need to see his face to know he was dead serious. I just wish it hadn't been a prediction of our future...

Summary
In a time when women can't open bank accounts without a man’s signature, Jennifer Honey escapes from her abusive husband, David Trunchbull—even though David only gives Jenny £1 a week to live on. Two years later, after David has a health crisis, Jenny—with some help from her favourite student Matilda Wormwood—confronts the fact that she'll never be free from David's control until he dies. Meanwhile, Jenny begins to develop motherly feelings toward Matilda, having been in a similar place to the girl during her own childhood.
Canon until Chapter 13: The Weekly Test—except for one thing: Miss Trunchbull becomes Mr Trunchbull, but his personality is exactly the same as his canon counterpart's. Also, Matilda does not have magical powers in this version; I wanted this story to be more realistic than the original Matilda.
