Emma Swan was finally living a stable, albeit lonely, life in Boston when Henry Mills showed up and announced she was his mother. After taking him back home to Mayor Regina Mills, Emma finds herself sticking around longer than intended. What is going on in the town? And why is the mayor so incredibly attractive?
OR
The one where Emma is aware of her attraction to Regina Mills right away, and something happens between them during the events of season one instead of never lmao. Things diverge from canon pretty quickly. I'm using the premise of the show, but outside of Emma coming to Storybrooke and meeting Mayor Regina, I'm largely playing with or even disregarding a lot of canon once Emma has decided to stick around and writing a What Could Have Been within the universe the show creators presented us with in episode one.
***I'll add non-spoilery tags as I update, rating may change eventually, each chapter will have content warnings in the notes prior to the chapter.***
