Summary
Sometimes, two people look each other in the eyes and they’re done for. They know they belong together, and they’ll tell their friends, “this is the girl I’m going to marry one day.”
And sometimes, it takes two people years to figure it out because they’re too stubborn, too scared, or too caught up in their own world to see what’s oh, so clear for everyone else.
This story is about the latter pair.Or: When Harry met Sally, swanqueenified.

Summary
She needs to remember, Emma desperately realizes in a flash. She’ll do anything, anything to remember. Blindly, she crosses the town line; the clouds rolling in right behind her, Regina’s face, the last to disappear in the green magic cloud, etched into her mind. She needs to keep them in her thoughts, needs to hold on-
~*~
“So, where to next?”
Emma blinks, thinking she saw something in the rearview mirror, but realizes it’s probably been a reflection of the sun.
Or: As Regina slowly starts to realize exactly why the Fates told her to leave both Henry and Emma behind in Storybrooke when Pan's Curse hit, she desperately searches for a way back to the Land Without Magic. Meanwhile, in New York, Emma gradually falls in love with a fairy tale character in a mysterious storybook.

Summary
Ava could kiss her now. Ava wants to kiss her now, uncaring of the fact that they have an audience and that she just died and there's almost certainly still a hoard of Adriel’s lunatics in an elevator on their way after them right now. Ava could kiss her and hold onto her and swear to never let her go if Bea will just let her, but instead she tilts at the last second and buries her face in Beatrice’s collar, inhales the smell of leather and lavender.

Summary
Beatrice is standing stiffly across the room. She rolls her shoulders, rolls her head on her neck, stares down at her hands. An unfamiliar smile slides across her face-- and Ava knows all of Beatrice’s smiles now, knows the polite nun smile and the customer service smile from the bar and the friendly smile for Hans and the small genuine one for Camila and the careful genuine one for when Ava makes her laugh and the less careful open one when Ava surprises her with coffee on the rare days she wakes up first-- and Ava’s stomach twists.

Summary
Sixteen-year-old Leila has spent her entire life being passed around the foster system. She's never known her parents, never known much more than that she was born with a hole in her heart and nobody, even her birth parents, had wanted her. A few days before her sixteenth birthday, Leila is fed up with the system and ready to be emancipated. She travels to a town called Storybrooke, Maine in search of her birth parents who, according to her paperwork, had never legally signed their rights away. This endeavor leads her to Regina Mills and Emma Swan, two completely opposite women with a seemingly complicated history and one very important thing in common: their names on Leila’s birth certificate.

Summary
Set in/post season 7. Emma has divorced Hook and has fallen into bed with Regina. Where does that lead?
Delirious asked a prompt... and then Strega here took the idea and wrote a second part of it. Since otherwise the concept of both answers would get lost we have decided to create this series. (Further parts could be added into the future)
We’re flying by the seat of our pants. No real plan to speak of. Let the good times roll.

Summary
The house is dark when he lets himself in, smells musty and empty. Usually this time of year the house smells like a mix of pine tree and cinnamon, of fresh-baked gingerbread and woodsmoke from a crackling fire. His mom goes on holiday baking binges in December, sugar cookies and gingerbread men and cranberry muffins, more than the two of them could possibly eat, so the house smells like sugar all month long. Usually there’s a bowl of clove-studded oranges on the dining room table; he and his mom make them together the first weekend in December while watching Rudolph. Usually there are vanilla candles burning on the front hall table, strains of music drifting through the house. Usually even when everything else is dark, the Christmas tree is still lit up.
Usually everything is warm.
Season 2 Christmas fic. Henry runs away home.
