Author's Note: I admit I struggled with this prompt. The fisherman part was what kept throwing me, as it didn't really fit any characters I typically write for. And then the rest of it just clicked on the whole shepherd aspect of Charming's life, and how he tends to continue with that role even now in Storybrooke. And then this all just fell into place for me. And 2016 seems to be shaping up as the year where I take a few bolder choices in my writing. So far, I'm digging this new turn quite a bit.

The title is part of an Aberjhani quote from The River of Winged Dreams, which is "Souls reconstructed with faith transform agony into peace." It's kind of a secondary influence to this story.
