Summary
It’s Fire Safety Day at Storybrooke Elementary. A presentation Lieutenant Emma Swan has done many times before. At this point, she knows what to expect.
What she doesn’t expect Henry Mills.
And she certainly doesn’t expect his mother, either.
What starts as a chance encounter turns into something neither of them were planning for. Something neither of them can seem to avoid.

Summary
The driver’s door opened more slowly. And then—
Well, shit.
The woman who stepped out looked like she belonged on a red carpet, not a snow-covered trail in the Alaskan backcountry. Long dark coat cinched at the waist, leather gloves, lips painted the kind of deep red that would stain if you kissed her—not that Emma was thinking about that. Just…observations.
She was stunning. Regal. Controlled. A sharp edge of elegance that made Emma feel like she’d wandered into the wrong movie.

Summary
The photo underneath the headline catches Ava's attention before she can figure out what she’s looking at. It’s a landscape shot of a lighthouse sitting atop a cliff and silhouetted against a bold sunset, its beacon lit. It looks like it’s at the end of the world, surrounded by rocks and the sea.
She frowns.
The ad is for a relief lighthouse keeper. She tentatively scrolls down to look at the duties and requirements, fully expecting to find that she’s unsuited for the job.
Except she’s kind of… perfect for it?
Unmoored, a little lost, and always impulsive, she thinks fuck it and spends the next three hours fixing her resumé, digging for her certification details, and writing an overly enthusiastic cover letter.

Summary
“I was told I would be able to meet with the chef this afternoon,” Beatrice says, as politely as she can manage. She’s meant to start working tomorrow and she hasn’t even met the executive chef yet, outside of traded emails where she was swayed by the promise of full autonomy into leaving her position as pastry chef at one of the only restaurants in the city with three Michelin stars for a fledgling fusion tapas joint sandwiched between a pierogi stand and a vape shop on the lower east side that got an upstart Michelin star in its first year of operation.

Summary
Far too sudden, she's being forced onto her back with the cold ground beneath her. Hands holding her down by the shoulders. She groans, blinks, looks up at who the fuck just saved her life but is also kind of manhandling her to the ground. Brown intense eyes, lips set into a frown and oh, she's pretty.
"What on earth were you thinking?" The woman demands, voice sharp, rattling.
Ava adverts her eyes. "I saw a light." She snorts, not helping herself. "That's fucking ironic isn't it? I saw a light and I almost died-"
OR:
Where Ava is dead set on hiking the Halo trail - falls through the ice the very first day and is rescued by a (very hot) woman (by Ava's humble opinion) with her sled dogs.

Summary
Diego elbows Ava lightly in the side to get her attention. "Ava? How come you don't have a boyfriend?" he asks.
What if it’s because of him? What if she’s so busy always trying to make sure that he’s taken care of that she’s missing out on all the things other nineteen-year-olds get to do?
"Huh?" There's a pause, and he can almost see Ava's brain stutter into stillness before lurching back to life. "Well, um, Diego, it's like — I'm really — if I thought that — see, it’s more like —"
He hears Lilith scoff and turns towards her. "It's not that hard. Kid, Ava's down bad for —"
"Shut up, Lilith," Ava grinds out, cutting her off.
—
After leaving St Michael’s, Ava does everything she can to support Diego, including taking him to extracurriculars. Beatrice is his aikido instructor, and it changes everything.

Summary
Recently, Ava had been watching Youtube videos on mindfulness in an effort to try to increase the percentage of her thoughts she was able to keep just in her head. That training was about to fail her spectacularly. “One of the nuns is kind of cute.”
Mary’s fingers paused mid stitch. Ava’s fork paused halfway to her mouth as her brain caught up with what she’d just said.
“Ava, what the fu—”
*
Or,
Ava has to spend several weeks in a church archive. The person running the archive is a nun, and also hot. She is totally normal and respectful about this.

Summary
“Hello, my name is Beatrice Silva and I’m calling in regards to my wife’s disability insurance plan?”
Beatrice can't stand still when she speaks on the telephone, it’s an old, anxious habit she picked up from a young age. When she ran away from home, everything she did was on her own - even when she moved to the ranch, Suzanne made Beatrice set up all of her own appointments.
At the time, Beatrice thought it was incredibly unfair to ask a seventeen year old to take on so much responsibility in a new life like that. She realizes now that what Suzanne was actually doing was preparing her for adulthood because she was going to treat her like an adult.
In hindsight, it was exactly what Beatrice needed and now she’s the one in her marriage that handles the phone calls.
Because for as much as Ava is outgoing and chatty and so easy to win everyone over, she is utter shite at speaking professionally on the telephone.
