Summary
After the final battle, Emma Swan has everything she once thought she wanted—her son, her parents, a fragile truce with Regina. But peace feels hollow, her life a performance. The ache she's buried grows unbearable—a feeling that her story ended somewhere before she got to live it.
When a cosmic event and a brass compass sends her back to Storybrooke before the curse broke, Emma finds herself in her own past with future memories intact. As Sheriff again, she navigates familiar faces who don't recognize the changes in her, especially Regina, who grows increasingly suspicious of Emma's altered behavior and inexplicable knowledge.
The question isn't "How do I get back?" but "What was I missing?" As Emma begins to see Regina through different eyes—not as the antagonist she once feared, but as the woman she might have always loved—she walks a dangerous line between preserving the timeline and following her heart.But with Regina's suspicions mounting and Gold's cryptic interest in her situation, Emma must decide: protect the future she knows, or risk everything for a chance to rewrite their story?
Time travel's a bitch. So is falling in love all over again. SQ [ACTIVE WIP 2x week updates]

Summary
“So,” Emma stepped back so she could look at her, “what was the big emergency that pulled you away from watching Hen kick my butt at Diablo.”
“Your parents wanted to run something by me.”
“Oh God,” Emma frowned, taking Regina’s hand and leading her towards the living room, “if Mom’s pregnant again will you just tell me now so I can get used to it before they tell me. If they call this next baby Killian I’m disowning them. You, me and Henry, we’ll move away and start again. I can’t have another brother named after an ex.”
This is a companion piece to my work 'Fate'; could be read as a sequel, but I think it would be better phrased as a Regina spin-off so you shouldn't need to read 'Fate' first. 4b - Heroes and Villains. COMPLETE

“You would do that for me?”
“I am very grateful for you choosing to stay here. For allowing me access to Henry.” She paused as she passed the freshened drink. “Besides,” Emma watched as Regina sipped from her glass, “I’m nice now,” the older woman smirked at her.
This is a slow burn SwanQueen starting at 4a but strays from the canon. (Previously posted under the title 'Moments').

Summary
Emma must see that hurt, too, because her gaze falters. “Does she love you?” she asks Regina, as though love is something that they can ever experience. As though there is space for love in a life that has been negotiated away, in a sister resting beside her or a soaring ride on a dragon’s back. In a girl who has gotten bruised and bloodied for her, over and over again, only so that Regina might feel a little less powerless.
In Rumplestiltskin's castle, powerful girls are traded into his service and trained to be assassins and warriors and spies. Regina is the best of them all– until a new girl with unimaginable power is brought in, defiant and afraid and insistent that she's a kidnapped princess.

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
5a rewrite.
Camelot...idyllic, beautiful, and laden with mystery. This is the place where Emma might be saved from the spirits of the Dark Ones that haunt her. But there are menacing forces at work, and Regina is surrounded by palace intrigue in which everyone has an unspoken agenda– even the woman she's trying to save.
Six weeks later, Regina and the others wake up in Storybrooke with no memory of what transpired in Camelot. What they do know: Emma is no longer the woman they loved. She is bent on vengeance that will bring Storybrooke to its knees. It's very possible that she can never be saved.
And she blames Regina for it all.

Summary
Emma almost has everything. She's got a wonderful son, a beautiful, tender friend and co-parent, and a family she can count on. It was all she ever dreamed of, once upon a time. At times, she thinks she finally understands what authors mean when they end their story with: they lived happily ever after.
But the feeling always leaves her by the morning. Sometimes she thinks her real happy ending has disappeared somewhere in the past, somewhere in between the curses and forgotten memories. And now it is only a possibility lost to her memories.
If she could go back...
(or in other words, season 6 emma goes back in time and accidentally makes season 1 regina fall in love with her.)
