Summary
In which Emma and Regina fall in love swiftly.
~
Emma is in awe, her jaw slack and her eyes welling up with tears as she stared in a wondered amazement. Just when she thought she couldn't fall more in love, Regina proved her wrong.
"That's the kindest thing anyone has ever said to me" Emma finally speaks, a stray tear making its way down her cheek as she smiles ear to ear. Regina hadn't said it, but Emma knew; Emma had always known.
She's in love with her too.
"My soul loved you before my heart could figure out how; I've always been in love with you. And I'm so sorry it took me so long to tell you" her words of confirmation are music to Emma's ears; all of this wasn't for nothing. She hadn't fought for nothing.

Summary
Emma reaches for Regina’s hand again, but Regina’s moved her ice cream to it instead. “Though, I mean, if I were into women, your mom would definitely be first on my list,” Emma tells Henry.
“I’m flattered,” Regina says dryly.
Her voice sounds a little strained, and Emma tries to lighten the tone. She hadn’t thought Regina would be uncomfortable with the idea of…well, Henry has two mommies, but the Enchanted Forest had seemed a little regressive. “What? Are you saying I’m not on your list?”
“Yes, Emma,” Regina says, and she barks out a choked laugh of her own. “If I were into women, you would definitely be on my list.”
[A year in the lives of Emma and Regina, falling in love all the way through and doing every bit of it backwards.]

Summary
It’s been eight years since the last time Regina and Emma saw each other, eight years since Emma lost part of her happiness, her family, and everything fell apart. But she hasn’t forgotten those three years in New York, or any of what Regina had brought into her life. And if she can be honest with herself, she might even admit that she wants it back.
A late night phone call to Regina takes Emma back eleven years to when they met, saved each other from loneliness, and Emma started learning what it meant to live. She relives the moments that had changed her life for the better, and even the ones that had hurt.
The question is never if there was love between the two of them, but if the love that was there eight years ago will be enough to bring them back into each other’s life.

Summary
Regina could still smell her cologne and feel the cheap pleather pressing into her back. The brunette sucked in a breath. She was still lying on the floor at the staircase's base and she stared back up at it. Everything was different now. Changed. She felt broken by what had just happened, appalled and enraged, dirty.
