Word Count: 24k Rating: Mature Warning(s): No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: “So we thought we could expand that project this year. Since you gave the idea, Emma, we’re adding you to the group. I’d also like to invite Regina—” and here Emma’s heart skips several beats, because surely she heard it wrong— “to go as well, being the 9th grade English and Spanish teacher.” Mary Margaret grins like she’s created the best idea in the universe. Emma wants to jump out of the window, and for the first time since she started working here, she feels Regina is on the same wavelength, even as far apart as they are now.

Or: Regina and Emma are teachers. Who kind of hate each other. And now they have to plan a field trip… together.

“Keep the change.” Captain Mills taps her hand twice before backing off. “Who am I to argue with that?” Emma shrugs, a smirk tugging at the corner of her lips despite herself as she throws the coins inside her apron’s pocket. The hint of a smile crosses Captain Mills’ face, that seemingly permanent scowl softening at the edges. She raises her tankard in Emma’s direction. “Aye, aye.” or...

A pirate walks into a tavern and changes a bartender’s life forever.

it’s so interesting to me that the fandom seemingly collectively decided years ago that emma was the goofy, happy-go-lucky golden retriever to regina’s black cat. maybe it’s just because they needed to contrast the two somehow? but it never quite felt right to me because emma, to me, is just as hardened and guarded as regina is, maybe even more so.

sure, she still has some idealism in her, still believes there is good in the world, but it’s not for her. that goodness is for everyone else. she doesn’t frolic, she doesn’t relax, she’s never known how.

to me, emma and regina are similar in every way but one: when the world broke regina’s heart, she gave up entirely on the idea of goodness and became determined to make the rest of the world suffer with her. when the world broke emma’s heart, she held goodness in her tightly balled fist and refused to let go of it, determined to take the pain away from everyone else and take it on herself instead. for emma, to love is to suffer on her loved one’s behalf. to bite her tongue and bear it through gritted teeth. she’s the savior; she exists to sacrifice. she’s a living martyr.

they are both bitter, jaded, spiteful women who have fought tooth and nail for every little bit of happiness they have. which is why no one can understand them but each other. no one can truly love them but each other.

anyway. i always wondered where that characterization of her being the goofy carefree one came from, because it’s so opposite to the emma i see in the show.
