"Why do you always look at me in such a way?" Regina asked softly as her thumb stroked the skin beneath Emma's eye, her chin quivering. "With such gentleness. Why do you fail to see me as everyone else does?"

"Because I see all that matters." And Emma kissed her with all the undying passion her tender and aching body would yield. The kiss reflected all the emotions stashed away. Second by second, as the kiss deepened and wondering hands paid close attention to damaged flesh, defenses were chiseled away. Chip by chip until something whole—undiscovered took shape, and it was beautiful.

Thus, the winner of the raffle is stewart-wade. :)  Congratulations and thank you for taking the time to spread the love in a time of tension.

Swan Queen Appreciation

"She heard the mayor's bemused snort and then her own unpleasant grunt as she realised the keys had bounced under Regina's desk towards the wooden back. Well, so much for sexy." Still the best one shot SwanQueen erotica in my book!

Fretting Over The Fate Of Dinosaurs by harper_m

I appreciate all of the amazing SQ writers out there.  This is one story and one snippet of dialog that I can never get out of my head.

And then Regina’s lips were by her ear, the warmth of her breath sending shivers down Emma’s spine. “I don’t want you to find your true love,” she said fiercely, pushing Emma’s jacket off of her shoulders. “I don’t want you to find someone you deserve. I don’t want you to find someone good. I don’t want you to find someone who will make your life easy.” She nipped at the curve of Emma’s ear, leaving it stinging. “I want you.”

Day 2 Swan Queen Appreciation Tally

Day 2: I have 50 entries so far from Swan Queen appreciation days. SWEN, I know we can do better than this. Way better.  Show our sense of community will outweigh any internal arguments/disputes.  We need some cheerleading, especially now when tension is so high.

"I love you too, Regina." Emma mumbled as she carefully moved behind the brunette and kissed her cheek. Regina felt something press into her ass, "Why Emma, do you have a phone in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" Emma pulled slightly, "Oh, yeah.." She brought the ring box around to Regina's front, "I told your Pops that I'd make sure you were an honest woman…" Regina turned after looking at her dream engagement ring. "Emma." "What do you say?"

Emma looks up, her eyes hooded and her breath escaping in short gasps. "Screw the Capitol," she says, and means it. This might be their last day alive, and she doesn't give a damn anymore, not when Regina tastes so good and she just wants this one last thing for herself, this tiny selfishness that she'll never have to know any consequences to. I want this to be forever, she thinks, echoing her thoughts from earlier on the beach, and she thinks this might not be a bad ending, as far as endings go.

It felt too good, too right, to give it up. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but there was just something about Regina that made her want to protect the brunette no matter what. The woman was more than capable of taking care of herself, but all Emma wanted to do in that moment was wrap her up in her arms and shield her from everything that had ever hurt her, from anything that had ever made her lose her trust. Maybe that was what true love was… finding someone irresistible in spite of all their flaws.
