Summary | Fairytale-Land AU. The Evil Queen cannot complete Rumpelstiltskin's curse the cost is too much. She decides to leave never to return. Except she does 18yrs later and the realm as she knows it is gone. Everything has changed, including her.

For Reasons | this story was published way back in January and it's only now that I got to reading it. Which is such a shame because as far as FTL AUs are concerned, this is one of the best stories out there. The thorough descript of Fairy Tale Land, Malefecient and Regina's friendship, Emma and Regina's encounters, all of it. Currently a work in progress and definitely lined up on my lists of fics to be on the look out for.

Summary | Princess Emma was meant meet her true love at the ball, it just wasn't meant to be her. Swan Queen AU in FTL.

For Reasons | this WIP is one of my new SQ fic addictions that I just need a constant fix from. The setting seems quite majestic, Henry is Regina's son through and through, and Regina's character, just as regal, and with a touch of Queen Elizabeth's characteristics. 

No wonder our dear Princess Emma is clearly besotted. Well when was she not ever. Lol. The finale is about to come and I dread the months of no OUAT. I wish for long well written fics as I think that's the only way I'd survive these hiatus.

i like cuz | okay, it was a slow start. not sure if i said before, but the first 10 sentences would tell me if i like the fic or not. maybe it was my mood the last weeks but it wasn't until Regina woke up *oops. gasp. that happened?!* that i really started following this piece.

it shows a lot of promise, i'm curious to see how the author would play this out.

Fic Rec | The Snow Queen

Title | The Snow Queen

Author | Ryaninthesky

Summary | Henry goes missing while exploring a cave and it's up to Emma and Regina to find him, leading them on an adventure through fairy tale land. Very loosely based on 'the snow queen' fairy tale 

Rating | T

i like cuz | I have read fics where Emma, after falling in love with Regina, learns that Regina is the Evil Queen and it is either she is hated or loved or accepted, though eventually, Emma comes to an acceptance.

What I love about this fic is the slow unraveling of Regina's life as the Queen and that the story more or less starts at that point. WIP, a great adventure fic really. 

Another great story of the author is Love and Other Misfortunes
