Have you tried True Love’s Kiss?
‘Til my lips bled.
My favourite princess after our lovely Belle. This girl is a badass without even having to physically fight, she’s so strong and bright and kind. I hope we see more of her in Season 2.

Kathryn and Jim McGovern lived a quiet, happy little life.
Every morning, at 7:15am, Kathryn would be sat at the kitchen table, and Jim would serve her her morning coffee and a plate of toast. She would smile, bring his head down so she could kiss his lips, sometimes his nose or cheeks, and murmur her thanks against his skin.

Once Upon a Time moments I love
#5 - You were trapped, but now you’re freeAbigail and Frederick are easily my second-favourite pairing in the show. Not bad for a female character who initially showed up as a whiny spoiler Princess and a man who has had maybe four lines altogether.
What I love about this pairing is that it’s already there, defined, and has been for some time, and only because they have been torn apart by her father’s curse, is she pushed into a union with James. Looking back at her first episodes, suddenly her ennuie and frustration with him apparent. He’s not her Frederick. He’ll never match her Frederick. “He’ll do”, because the one she really wants is trapped.
I love that she’s the first person to accept and acknowledge his love for Snow, and knows he will understand her enough to help her. I love it when James asks (as farm boys do) why she hasn’t tried kissing and she has the single most beautiful response: “I did, until my lips bled”. I love that even though she can’t save him, the way she looks at the golden Frederick is still with complete love.
This is a woman who has suffered for her true love, and when no one would help her, abducted her runaway fiance and with his help, got her true love back. I love that Abigail/Frederick are an example of how true love was there, then lost, then retrieved again.
More than anything, I want to see Abigail and Frederick find one another again.
Really, if I didn’t ship Rumbelle so hard those two would have been my pairing of choice.
…damn, now I feel bad about hitting him with a car.
I agree, though: Abigail/Kathryn is such a BAMF, and Frederick is everything she wants in the universe and I have all of these feelings for these two.

Fic: Not Necessarily Tragic
Title: Not Necessarily Tragic
Rating: PG-13 for swearing
Summary: Gold has to kidnap Kathryn, but that doesn’t mean she can’t enjoy her stay. Gold/Kathryn broship, Rumbelle and Abigail/Frederick as background.
For Accio, who prompted “Gold/Kathryn broship”
And Rose-Papilion, who made an awesome #fuckingbluefairy gif and asked for this. Ages ago. Sorry about that.

Kathryn could barely feel a thing.
There was a dull throbbing in her head, loud and flooding every sense, until her entire body was a heavy heartbeat and she could barely think, barely breathe.
She was slumped over the steering wheel of her car, and absurdly all she could see was the old schoolhouse, the playgrounds and corridors, Mary Margaret Blanchard’s moronically innocent face as her palm connected… and a face, glimpsed out of the corner of Kathryn’s eyes, a sweet and open face, a stranger seen in passing.
The awkward moment when you read back a fic you left off on writing a week ago, and start laughing at your own jokes
I’m writing a Gold/Kathryn bromance fic. Because Rose-Papilion asked so nicely, and gave me a #fuckingbluefairy gif. My favourite line? She nodded, and felt strangely grateful. “Plus, I’m kidnapping you, so leaving you in the car to die would be a mite inconvenient.” He added, mildly.Put pennies on their eyes, let the dead men sing: Another Once Upon a Time speculation
If Regina removed her heart (as I expect she did, then somehow planted MM’s fingerprints to frame her), then she may still be alive. After all, she did the same to Graham and he was fine until she actually destroyed it. Kathryn’s probably down in that psych ward with Belle or something.
I don’t think they would have shown Katherine and her fairytale love make eye contact (the episode she found out about David and Mary Margaret, the guy she passed in the hall was her love I believe) if Katherine were really dead, why would the writers put in that unnecessary…
