Love Undefined

It’s been eight years since the last time Regina and Emma saw each other, eight years since Emma lost part of her happiness, her family, and everything fell apart. But she hasn’t forgotten those three years in New York, or any of what Regina had brought into her life. And if she can be honest with herself, she might even admit that she wants it back.

A late night phone call to Regina takes Emma back eleven years to when they met, saved each other from loneliness, and Emma started learning what it meant to live. She relives the moments that had changed her life for the better, and even the ones that had hurt.

The question is never if there was love between the two of them, but if the love that was there eight years ago will be enough to bring them back into each other’s life.

Follow If You Lead

Season 3 finale SQ AU. At Midas' ball, the blonde in the red dress catches Regina's eye. And with no way home in sight, Emma decides that it can't hurt to see what the Queen has to offer. Meanwhile, Storybrooke is reeling from Emma's disappearance - especially Regina. There will be a little bit of Outlaw Queen, but it's all about the Swan Queen.

Double Trouble

Teenage versions of Emma and Regina appear in Storybrooke and to everyone's surprise the girls hit it off immediately... "We have to stop this, Emma. She can't fall in love with the younger you. She has to meet Daniel and fall in love with him - his death starts it all. Or otherwise, Regina won't grow up to cast the curse, Storybrooke won't exist... and Henry will never be born!"

Down The Rabbit Hole

It's pure good fortune that leads Emma Swan to get a job at The Rabbit Hole, a specialist children's bookstore in New York City, on her very first day in the city. It's certainly not good fortune, however, that her path crosses with R. C. Mills, the reclusive author of the extremely popular 'Marisol Mendez' series. She can't stand the woman, even if Mulan reckons she spends far too much time talking about her for someone she claims to dislike so much.

Don't Leave Me Alone (You Know I Never Could)

How ironic, that Snow White might be the one to save Regina's life tonight.

Do You Ship Your Teachers?

It all starts when Emma Swan forgets that the projector screen is on. Or perhaps it started a long time before that. At any rate, the rumours that Miss Swan and Ms Mills are totally, madly in love spread quickly.

Probably Emma should give her grade nines more homework.

Deliver Me

“I was told a double rush order would be here in twenty minutes or less,” she said coolly, and gestured to the clock on the wall beside them.

Looking over, Emma saw the face reading 6:45, just a few minutes past the twenty minute deadline. Eyes narrowing slightly, she licked her lips. “Yeah, it’s just a couple minutes past,” Emma said, and shifted her weight to one hip.

Tilting her chin up slightly she repeated, “Twenty minutes or less,” and Emma felt her head start to pound. What a way to end the day.

Bike messenger AU, in which Regina is a CEO that enjoys messing with Emma, and Emma does not back down. For the sake of her job, of course, and not because of the way Regina eyes light up when she's angry.

Damn You, Autocorrect!

Conversing with Regina by text had always been utilitarian, but a new iOS update leads to a series of ice-breaking texts which eventually lead to much more.

Love Her Like She’s Leaving

You fight against your feelings for the longest time, harder than you fought many battles in your lifetime. You refuse to accept that she makes you weak in the knees, makes your heart melt when she gives you her most sheepish grin, makes you forget who you are, whose daughter she is.

Living With Change

The Devil Within

"When I was a child," Emma began, her voice sounding more genuine and human than it had since their reunion began. "You used to talk to me about true love...the magic of it, the poetry of it. I yearned for that as a child. I wanted someone to love as you two loved each other."
