Summary
“And how do you suggest we get home, then?” Regina asks, snapping a little—great, Regina is freaking out a little too. “Or is your plan to let me bleed out here on the forest floor?”
“Hey—that isn’t happening, alright?” Even if Emma has to fight all the armies of the kingdom herself, that is not happening. Though she’d really rather not have to do that, particularly because it probably wouldn’t work. It’s why she hasn’t just teleported them both back to the lake. “We’ll get you home, I just—I’ll think of something.”
“Well, think quickly.”
[Written for Swan Queen Week Day 5. In the Wishverse, Henry is out for blood, Regina is hurt and Emma can't get them home.]

Summary
It all becomes a sort of blur after a while, a wash of colour and sound from places and times so extraordinary and beyond her powers to describe. But through it all, amidst all of time and space, her son is laughing, her son is smiling, and that remains the most important gift that Emma has given to Regina.
"Thank you," she tells Emma quietly, as Henry happily—happily—eats ice-cream whilst dangling his legs over the edge of an observation platform into space, the swirling colours of a glowing nebula surrounding them. "For doing this for us."
"Any time," Emma says, thumbs in the pockets of her coat. "It's the least I could do."

Summary
“We’re not going home any time soon, are we?” Regina asks, closing her eyes and leaning her head back on the wall.
“We’ll get back,” Emma says softly. “I mean, I still have a death sentence that needs to be carried out.”
[6x08 AU: Emma and Regina are stuck in the mirror world for weeks, alone, with no way out and no way to communicate with home except via tapping a mirror for their son. But Emma, for some reason, isn't really that bothered by this.]

Summary
It becomes a routine of theirs. Regina, each night, will put help Zelena put the baby to bed, ensure the same with her own son, then head off to that little spot beneath the stars, overlooking the twinkling town-lights. And each night, she’ll hear the distant sounds of tyres on dirt and gravel, a car door opening and closing, and smile gently to herself as the crunching of leaves underfoot—almost deafening in the quiet—approaches her.
[Post-S5. Regina, Emma, and recovering from the darkness. Written for Swan Queen Week 7: Insecurities]

Summary
And in end, it doesn’t really matter what Emma is, because she’s merely part of what Regina has—what they all have, the three of them in this house that was once so empty of anyone other than herself. It’s a family, completeness in a way that Regina had once thought impossible, and far, far too valuable to second-guess.
So she doesn’t. And when Emma rests her head on Regina’s shoulder late one night whilst they watch over Henry, she does not comment.
[Regina-centric continuation of "do dream people like apples?", a 3x13 AU]

Summary
August 2014. Exhilaration and worry envelop the world when a massive spacecraft is detected entering the solar system, the first proof of civilization beyond the Earth. Then humanity receives a shock even greater than before, when an entire fleet is detected at the edge of the solar system, six years away. After waiting for so long for first contact, humanity makes it twice within as many months.
Then the shock and awe turns to fear as they realize neither party is friendly.
Recounted twenty years after the bloodiest conflict in human, and alien, history, Worldfall is an epistolary account of the twin invasions of Earth, recounting the three-way war between humanity, the Race, and the Chtaptisk Fithp as they vie for control over a pale blue dot. From the preparations, to the conclusion, to the post-war world and all the details in-between, it is clear that the histories of these civilizations will be forever intertwined.
