3rd Snow fall / text

[ Snow hasn't slept since she woke up. For the first time in so long, she's had nightmares about the burning room in the Netherworld, of being trapped in flames the way she was during the sleeping curse. So, she simply isn't going to sleep until she can talk to Regina and see about some kind of potion or magic that can put her under without having to dream of anything at all. Hopefully, something like that exists.

But this means that she's dwelling on what happened. Her death in protecting Emma, the fact that her daughter was indoctrinated anyway. And that leads her to late night texting. ]


For those of you that have family here, how do you deal with the idea that you can't always protect them?

[ It's not a concept that's new to Snow. She held her newborn in her arms for all of thirty seconds before putting her in a wardrobe that took her so far away. Snow has fought magic, ogres and Lost Boys for her daughter but this time she failed. This time, she couldn't keep the worst from happening. ]

I realize it's a broad question. But I'm not sure I've ever thought I couldn't protect my daughter before. Not until the past few days happened. Maybe I just needed to get the words out. It's much easier to type them than to admit them out loud.

[Jolyne goes to answer, then stops, realizing how incredibly weird it feels that she can actually answer this. It's not something she's ever really thought about before.]

My uncle's here. He's usually pretty good about taking care of himself, so I just kind of hope that he can. Especially since I can't always be there to help him out when Wonderland decides to make everything hell.

[Like during that last event, but she's trying to not dwell on that. She's not really winning that mental fight right now though.]

I think they feel the same way about you.

[It didn't quite answer her question, but maybe it would speak to the feeling she had and the feeling they had for her too.]

This place seems ready to throw all kinds of bullshit our way, sometimes it catches you off guard, happens to everyone and if they say it doesn't. they're fucking lying. So you failed her this time. Learn from it, do better. Next time, you'll be prepared.

My mom's here. Sometimes it--really hurts when something happens and I can't do anything to protect her, but I know that it goes both ways. Um. . I don't really know how anyone's supposed to deal with that, I guess? I just try to be as strong as I can.

Unless you're a literal indestructible superhero, you're only human, man.

My family's not here, so maybe it's different not having that weighing on me, but I got a mom who busts her ass off for me. A kid knows when their parents are already doing everything they can. They ain't going to be disappointed you didn't do more than you could.

And you're here together, you get to deal with this shit as a team. That counts for a hell of a lot.

WELL, FOR ONE THING, I KNOW THAT MY BROTHER IS VERY FORMIDABLE IN BATTLE. IF HE GETS INTO REAL TROUBLE, I KNOW THAT HE'LL BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF HARM'S WAY IN NO TIME AT ALL, AS WELL AS DISH OUT A FEW ATTACKS OF HIS OWN!! SO, USUALLY, I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT HIS SAFETY IN MOST SITUATIONS.

[Most. But...]

STILL...I...THINK I SEE WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM?? I'M NOT 100% SURE HOW TO DEAL WITH IT EITHER. AS SOON AS I KNOW HOW, I'LL LET YOU KNOW, THOUGH!!

you deal with it.

[ way to go, tony stark. ]

or you don't. there are ways to do that too.

heavy drinking

social isolation

all the fun stuff.


[ but you know what? he just got back from home, the fear she's talking about is fresh in his bones and so: ]

you try.

that's all you can do. you try your damn hardest and hope it'll be enough.

[It's strange, perhaps, to be sending her mother a text over something so heavy, something so significant to the both of them, but she can't quite bring herself to call— or even to approach her in person with this topic in mind, at least not without her mother's express permission.

Snow isn't the only one who feels she'd failed to protect someone.]

It's a special sort of hell. It isn't just the events. It's how you never know when you might wake up and they're gone.

I'm lucky - I've known that the people I care about here could protect themselves. I have to trust that they'll be okay even if I can't protect them.

This place... [ She pauses as she puts together the words as best she can. ] It forces you to accept how little power you have. All you can do is what you can, and then hope for the best. [ She doesn't add that the worst still happens. Either the people you care about leave, or you leave them. Either way, people suffer. ]
