Summary
Later, she remembered times on the severed floor, before the OTC, when Irving would pat her back kindly when she finished a file, or when Mark S.’s jacket would graze against her upper arm just so, and she would feel a jolt from deep within, like something being dislodged, excavated from her body that she’d had no idea was there.

Summary
"No chauffeur today?" he asks. "You’ve changed, Helena." The way he says her name makes her toes curl inside her shoes. So different from his voice down on the severed floor and in the tent; it had been desperate and cracking like a little boy's, each word buoyant. Now he just sounds pissed. "Nice parking job, by the way."
"I would’ve parked in the driveway, but your sports cars were in the way."

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.)

if i said this was the best swanqueen fanfiction of all time it still wouldn’t be enough to understand how great it is: the angst is delicious and the characters feels as real as in the tv series. truly one of a kind

i read this fic in 2017 and i think few others have come close or surpassed it since, also the fact that it was written before the last book got published truly put in prospective how INSANE it is that she got so many details right. anyway, one of my all time favourite

Summary
“Your father and I had a…disagreement, over how the Second Great Prophecy came to pass, among other things,” the woman said. “I’m not welcome at Olympus, for a time.”
“And so now you’re a mortal?” Jason raised an eyebrow.
“I suppose so, yes,” Juno said, reaching for a fry. “These are excellent, I see why you wanted to stop here.”
(or: how jason grace learned to be a real boy, and juno learned to be a good mother)
