Summary
Getting the internship at her top choice of law firms in Boston is a dream come true for Emma, and the fact that Regina Mills is the owner of said firm is a huge added bonus. The woman is an incredible lawyer, a force to be reckoned with, and Emma admires her to no end. But admiring Regina Mills from a distance is a hell of a lot different than actually meeting her and the more time she spends with the older woman, the more she realizes that other kinds of feelings are starting to grow within her.
Becoming a lawyer may be a goal she has been fighting for for so long, to be able to help others get the justice that she never did, but trauma is a powerful thing. No matter how badly she wants to help, it might not be enough when the demon from her past holds more power over her than she thought and she’s struggling to not let it ruin her chance to actually help the girl that reminds her so much of herself.

Summary
Emma Swan hates dressing up, but she will do it in a heart beat if her insanely hot boss asks her to. Regina co-owns a law firm with her best friend, and she is up for the attorney of the year award, meaning she has to sit at a boringly long ceremony. She asks Emma to join her to make the night a little less boring, and things take off from there.

Summary
Emma Swan has always been the savior for everyone but herself. Behind her tough exterior and biting wit hides a lifetime of unspoken trauma. Years spent in foster homes, abandoned and unseen, her childhood a battlefield of neglect and pain. Though she’s long since built walls to keep the world out, those walls begin to crack.
Regina Mills—mayor, former Evil Queen, and mother fiercely devoted to her son—has spent years atoning for her sins, but nothing prepares her for the quiet, unfolding bond she begins to share with Emma. What starts as tentative co-parenting slowly transforms into something deeper when Regina discovers Emma’s hidden vulnerability: her subconscious need to regress under emotional stress, slipping into a childlike state where the harshness of reality fades and long-denied comfort becomes a necessity.
As Emma wrestles with her growing need for care and the safety she finds only in Regina’s presence, Regina herself must navigate the unfamiliar territory of becoming not only a caregiver but also a woman falling deeply, irrevocably in love. The lines blur between caretaker and lover, between nurturing and desire, as they explore what it means to fully accept one another—scars, vulnerability, and all.Bookmarked by Useless_Frida
