Preview ahead of The Dark Swan Chapter 2:
Black and White:
Rumbelle: Rumple is missing leaving, nothing behind but a knitted bootie for the baby and a dog called Teacup.
Swanfire: Emma is the Dark One and Neal is determined to find out why over the Granny's lunch date they never had.
Snowing: Snow and Charming wondering how or why their daughter fell into darkness.
Camelot Believer: Henry meeting Freya and bonding over "Only You" on his ipod.
Outlaw Queen: the Fury coming to collect the debt Regina incurred for saving Robin's life.
(See the end of the work for more notes.)












Camelot Rumple picture is Licieoic's beautiful artwork "Return of the Floof": https://licieoic.tumblr.com/post/167881942079/return-of-the-floof-digital-oil-painting-a
The name Teacup came from "Teacup: A Performing Pup for Belle (Palace Pets)" by Walt Disney Company - and, of course, Rumbelle's chipped cup, for it's Teacup's imperfect eyes and bent ear that make her perfect.
I changed Emma's dress to the swan princess ballgown from Charming's dream in "The Tower."
Undecided on a ship name for Henry and Freya: Camelot Believer? Noble Believer (Freya means "noble")? Henrya? Frenry? Take your pick.
