Help[Games] Britt's Once Upon a Time Congrats Round 2 ATTN: glassmidnight
***glassmidnight, did you still want to be in the game? If you do, just put everything on this round.
Sign-ups are still welcome, just complete the first round here.
Two years have passed, and your couple has had a son! How are they dealing with a new baby and a toddler? How does the elder child feel about the new baby brother? For now the magic in their lives is relatively quiet (though still present) and the kingdom has settled into a period of peace, but there is something the average person doesn't know about that may pose a threat to their peace. Is this threat related to the magic the couple has lived under, or is it something completely different and nonmagical? How big a threat is it?

Tale: The Princess and the Tin Box
The princess got what she was hoping for; another tree full of gifts, her first son bringing in even more gifts than her first daughter did. Her husband and people assure that she is still the most beautiful woman they have ever seen, but something seems to be missing. She is not sure what it could be. In other news, Abha has taken to Prince Devdan like she never did to Prince Shobha. Perhaps because she knows that Shobha will grow up to become beautiful while Abha's own beauty starts to fade. Whatever the case, Abha has taken to carrying the prince around herself and playing with him. He makes cute faces at her all day long and she, in turn, smiles more than she ever had before. This makes her look still more beautiful than ever before...

After more than a year, the evil enchanters who cursed Adam had still not be caught. Eglantine brought them weekly updates when she could, but several times she was too busy battling them to come for weeks at a time. Belle and Adam tried not to worry, as their little Mirabelle was safe, but it was hard not to wonder what would happen if the enchanters were not defeated. But as it had been decided that the people at large were to know nothing of the threat so as to not to cause a panic, they put on a good face. Everyone simply saw them as their handsome prince and beautiful princess with a lovely baby girl, for everyone marveled over how pretty Mirabelle was, looking more and more like Princess Annabelle every day. Belle and Adam looked over her and only hoped that she would grow up safe.

Tale: Briar Rose (Brothers Grimm)
Two years have passed since the birth of Prince Siegfried and once again the Kingdom was celebrating the birth of a second Prince! Prince Henry or Harry as he is more commonly known.
Little Siegfried appears rather unimpressed with the baby boy and for the most part ignores Harry. We regularly have visits from the twelve good fairies and they blessed Prince Harry with their special gifts just as they had done two years earlier with Siegfried.
The kingdom is enjoying a peaceful period though the fairies have informed Stefan and I reports of a bad fairy from a neighbouring kingdom who seems to be becoming more powerful. However as yet no threat has been made against our homeland but we remain vigilant and the fairies decided it wise to give both Siegfried and Harry a protective spell to keep them safe against magical harm.

I don't think I'm going to be able to keep up with the writing required for this, so I'm going to sit this one out. :(
I'm sorry. It sounds really awesome, but real life is interfering with fun stuff...again!

Tale: The White Wolf
(Woe betide the family which named their firstborn son Remus even after knowing his fate! Rudolph and Ariadne, you are so very un-Genre Savvy!)
Two years after the birth of young Muirne, Ariadne found herself pregnant again. So far, her life with Rudolph and her daughter has been idyllic, pleasant even. There had been few matters thrown to their hands, and they had lived nothing short of a peaceful existence. But as soon as Ariadne realised that she is expecting another child, things began to grow suspenseful. She began having nightmares, recalling the old haggard witch's threats to take away their firstborn son. Ariadne tried to conceal her anxiety, but Rudolph was not deceived.
After her time came to an end, Ariadne went into labour and delivered a healthy son. She was surprised, and also a little frightened, at the prospect of having a boy the witch would take away from her (What if the witch corrupted her son? What if he'll never know of his true family?), but she also knew that without a son, there will be no future heir for the crown currently held by Rudolph's father. The newborn son was named Remus, and he soon brought his own ray of light into the little castle in the forest. Muirne, ever the energetic little bairn she was, ran all around the palace to bring news of her baby brother's birth. Rudolph, too, shared his daughter's excitement, but he knew as well as Ariadne that the day will come that the hag will take young Remus away.
Still, all was well for the time being. Rudolph and Ariadne, with their children Muirne and Remus, thrived on.

Emrys and Snow White have had a darling baby boy! Tulip, though she is only two, is dealing with Heddwyn quite well. She's even helping her mother out as much as a two-year-old can.
In the past year, Tulip has developed in ways two-year-olds don't normally. The ways she has developed are posing a threat to the kingdom, as it appears there is something abnormal about her which causes other kingdoms to dislike that of her ancestors. What is happening? Emrys and Gwyneira do not know.

Rumpelstiltskin - Finished
UN: Starshelle
King: Robert Lucian III (31)
Queen: Rosabel (19)
-DPrincess1: Junia "Juniper" Catherine (2)
-DPrince1: Robert "Robin" Lucian IV (nb)
Tale: Rumpelstiltskin
Rosabel's heart ached as she saw her husband so blatantly ignore their daughter. Junia's eyes, gray like her father's, would light up at the sight of him, but the king would rarely hold her and never hugged or kissed her.
"It's not fair," the queen lamented to her favorite servant, Millie. "I know he wants a son, but that doesn't mean he should neglect and ignore his daughter and love her less."
Millie sighs, "Aye, I agree, your highness, but that is the way of things. Perhaps he'll be more warm to her once you do have son."
"Most likely he'll ignore her even more, but instead Juniper will be extra hurt and jealous when she sees how much more attention her baby brother gets."
"You can't know for certain, my lady. That might not be the case."
"Well, I hope you're right Millie."
"In the meantime we'll give Juniper as much love an affection as possible to make up for it." The dark blond haired servant and her pox scarred face smiled in the way that always endeared her to Rosabel. The queen often felt better after talking to Millie. Between her and the king's personal physician, Malachi, who had a warm grandfatherly kindness about him, she managed to make it through her loveless marriage with the king of Camoria with her sanity intact.
Lately her mind could not help but compare her father to her daughter's father, and her hatred for her own father began to soften. Her father had lied about her being able to spin straw into gold, and King Robert, well known for his harshness and greed, locked her in a tower, demanding she spin the straw into gold and if she failed, she'd be executed. She had little choice then but to accept the help this little short man who did have the ability to spin the straw into gold. He made her promise to give him her firstborn child in return.
