Summary
What is it about Bradley Jackson that causes me—me who has never been self-conscious, me who has never had low self-esteem—to be so fucking frightened that I’m not enough? I’m almost ashamed of myself for allowing her to make me feel this way. To bring me to this point where I’m scared that I’m going to lose.

Summary
Laura Peterson knows how to take up all the oxygen in whatever space she’s in, wherever she’s existing. So, it comes as no surprise that the moment she steps from the elevator into the foyer of my apartment the air feels thinner, as if we’re suddenly on top of a mountain peak. The phenomenon is odd, something that, if I wasn’t privy to its existence, would have mesmerized me. All over again.
or the time when Alex gets to stand up for herself.

Summary
"You want to pick up the phone and call her, tell her everything you’re thinking and feeling, even though your friendship isn’t quite there yet. The amount of times you’ve contemplated all the things you want to tell her is ridiculous. You’ve written it all down a thousand times, torn it up, thrown it away. And still you say nothing. Truth be told, you’re afraid to dump your feelings onto her. Even though you told her that she can trust you, she can be vulnerable with you, it’s hard to turn around and do what you’ve preached to her. Not because you don’t trust her or that you can’t be vulnerable with her. That’s not it at all. It’s because what if all of that trust and vulnerability pushes her away?"
or the time alex needed bradley, in more ways than one.

“You scared me,” I say softly and her eyes widen. My admission shocks me, too. “I’d never…been around someone who pushed me the way you did. You were everything I used to be and everything I knew I needed to be again.”

Summary
christmas eve and alex is all alone.
"And suddenly, as if summoned by my obsessive thoughts, a black masked Bradley Jackson is standing in the doorway of my kitchen. I’m going to kill my doorman. Excitement is replaced by something else entirely. I stand, scramble for the nearest mask I can find, slap it to my face, and back away. “Bradley, what are you doing here? Neither of us can afford to get sick…again.” Going on nine months of dealing with COVID, three months of being back on set, getting tested daily, and I still feel like I’m breaking the law whenever I’m around someone without a mask on."

Summary
If she squints enough, displacing the sheen of wetness in front of her eyes that she rejects so very thoroughly, she can almost see the outlines of the photographs that lined the wall. Poof. A family won, a family lost.

Summary
One kiss starts it all. Emma Swan's life gets turned upside down after sharing a bed with Regina Mills in the Underworld, or perhaps it's been upside down all this time and the night she spends sleeping beside Regina makes Emma see things clearly for the first time in a long time.
This story follows Emma's journey through life as she questions the meaning of kisses, searches for and finds a new home, grows closer to her family, and discovers that real love doesn't make you feel good one minute and then worthless the next.
(or, the one where I follow a list of kiss prompts and show the development of Emma and Regina's relationship through kisses, because why not?)

Summary
They talk for hours, spending the rest of the night in the same position, seated opposite other on the floor.
Or, rather, Henry talks. Regina mostly listens, only occasionally interjecting to ask him a question which invariably eggs him on, teases out some part of his story that he hadn't thought to vocalise. And it's nice, it's great to have someone who just listens like this, but—
“What about you? Don't you have any stories?”
“I'm a dream person, Henry. You haven't forgotten, have you?” Regina reminds him, and he wonders whether dream people are meant to be snarky. He likes it, though.
[3x13/Missing Year AU: In a darkened room, surrounded by flames, a boy named Henry makes a friend.]
