Summary
She takes the bottle and tucks it under her arm, leaving the glass behind on the table.
One day of this. One day of drowning her sorrows at the bottom of a few bottles of wine, and then she’ll be done. One day is what she’ll give herself to bleed Vanessa Woodfield and all of the sunshine and all of the smiles and all of the sodding touches out of her body.
One day, and then she’ll forget about Vanessa the way Vanessa has forgotten about her.

Summary
What do you need to know? Let's see...
Regina and Emma have been together for well over a decade, married and living together in Storybrooke. They adopted two children: Henry and Snow. We join their lives one Fall evening, in what turns out to be the calm before a very specific storm.
Trigger warnings will be added on a chapter by chapter basis, but the big one up front is for mental health issues: depression, bipolar disorder, and the pharmaceutical treatment of them.
While this story is based on the musical Next to Normal, various adaptations have been made. That said, IF YOU KNOW THE BIG REVEALS OF THE NEXT TO NORMAL PLOT, PLEASE DO NOT SPOIL THEM FOR OTHERS. If you're familiar with the book and score you'll know roughly what to expect, but let's leave the new audience with some mystery, hmm? So no giving it all away in the comments or anything ;)

Summary
Emma Swan is catapulted into stardom, the newest lead actress on a sanitized show featuring modern fairytales. Regina Mills is a long-undermined star with a chip on her shoulder and a thousand reasons why she's invested. Naturally, they loathe each other on sight.
Their characters' fanbases, however, have other ideas.

Summary
They talk for hours, spending the rest of the night in the same position, seated opposite other on the floor.
Or, rather, Henry talks. Regina mostly listens, only occasionally interjecting to ask him a question which invariably eggs him on, teases out some part of his story that he hadn't thought to vocalise. And it's nice, it's great to have someone who just listens like this, but—
“What about you? Don't you have any stories?”
“I'm a dream person, Henry. You haven't forgotten, have you?” Regina reminds him, and he wonders whether dream people are meant to be snarky. He likes it, though.

Summary
The Hatter hadn’t been able to cope with two co-existing realities, and she’d thought him weak. This third may be the thing to finally break her mind in half; like an egg cracking on the side of a prep bowl, with everything sacred to her just dribbling out all over the place.

Summary
“I’m here because... I think my kid is having some kind of delusional breakdown because he can’t cope with the fact that ... Mayor Mills and I split up.”
Dr. Hopper pushes his glasses up his nose in a measured movement. “What makes you think that?”
“Well, among other things, he thinks his mother is about to cut Mary Margaret Blanchard’s heart out of her chest, before pulverizing it and sending her into a coma that only her true love can rescue her from.”
[AU; here, 'fairy tale land' is merely a product of Henry's imagination during a difficult time.]

Summary
Emma has hidden her face behind a curtain of unruly hair for now, but manages to tip it back on command--and Regina looks down at Emma’s chest and the heart she knows is beating there; wonders absently if any of her problems would be solved if she just plucked it out and kept it in her jewelry box upstairs--and looks at her with the kind of anguish that really and truly doesn’t befit a storybook savior.
“The curse. It didn't break right, so how do I fix it?”
