Summary
For almost a decade, she’d been attempting to get her music career off the ground. At 18, Therese arrived in Los Angeles with no contacts, no connections, and absolutely no friends. She’d worked dozens of odd jobs in bars and restaurants and retail, sometimes quitting, sometimes fired for skipping shifts to play last-minute gigs. When she couldn’t afford rent, she’d beg her landlord for a few more days, and then walk dogs or clean houses or pull weeds to get just enough to not get herself evicted. For so long, it had all seemed so pointless. Breaking her back and for what? It wasn’t until the past two years that she finally felt the fruits of her labor. And finally, Therese simply…Blew. The Fuck. Up.
Even in the most optimistic, rose-tinted fantasies of her career, Therese never imagined she’d be taking a casual afternoon stroll around Silver Lake Reservoir with Carol Aird, a singer whose celebrity spanned nearly Therese’s entire lifetime. But then again, she’d also never imagined Carol Aird would go out of her way to publicly call her a hack, either.

Summary
Fifteen years ago, Emma Swan and Regina Mills were in love. Then Regina cut her out without warning.
Now Emma is a trauma surgeon, newly arrived at Boston Mercy. Regina is the Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery. They didn’t plan to cross paths again, let alone work together. But their specialties intersect, and avoiding each other isn't possible. Keeping things professional only works for so long.
Eventually, something has to give.

Summary
Therese liked this version of Carol the most. Not the regal Countess Carolyn Ross, but the one who let herself sag against a chair without a care for her perfect posture, the one who laughed freely and stole glances through the mirror with Therese. The Carol she could pretend was more than just her lady.
Or, a countess!Carol x lady’s maid!Therese fic because this fandom needs more Cate Blanchett in ball gowns

Intimacy or something (or the one where Emma and Regina talk about the birds and the bees) by GhostChips

Summary
Henry invites girls to his birthday party sleepover, and a half giant, and Regina is stressed. Cue saviour Emma Swan to hold it together for the both of them.
They end up sharing secrets and memories and basically live out a teenage dream slumber party. And it's fine, it's normal, yeah totally normal to end up cuddling Regina Mills, the queen, the mayor, her sons other mother.
I've literally never written anything ever so hopefully the pacing is okay-ish and you don't end up wildly confused.
