Summary
"A sea of whiskey couldn't intoxicate me as much as a drop of you." - J.S. Parker
An alternate ending to Season 2 after the confrontation over Nicte Batan - Tally Craven comes to an important realization; Sarah Alder, still head of the US Army, finds it increasingly difficult to deny feelings she's long repressed; and with a little help from those closest to them both, it's only a matter of time until the two collide.

Summary
For supposedly being one of the finest Knowers in decades, Tally often felt like she knew very little.
She didn't know how to process the dreams that kept her up at night since becoming un-biddied. Mothertongue, that was tough. Handling Raelle and Abigail's teasing about her life choices, that could be a lot.
And mostly, she definitely didn't have a clue how to handle having a debilitating attraction and world-class crush on the most powerful woman on the literal planet, who definitely would never feel the same way.
Anyway. It was fine. It was all just fine.
Or,
Tally's nightmares never stop; in fact, they become a form of emotional torture that keeps her up at night. Alder, in a twist, agrees to help Tally through late-night meetings, and Tally is faced with an entirely different kind of emotional torture.

Summary
Regina Mills is running an underdog mayoral campaign when her hapless partner in crime, Neal Cassidy Gold, hires his new girlfriend to be a part of it. It's hate at first sight. Emma Swan is infuriatingly attractive, infuriatingly competent, and– most infuriatingly– will absolutely bring down their entire campaign if Regina doesn't get rid of her first.
Regina is more than up for that task.

Summary
Emma Swan’s Quidditch career, despite her brief and remarkable stint with the US national team, went nowhere. Hired as the coach of the hapless Storybrooke Sirens by none other than the Regina Mills (also known as the Evil Queen in certain quarters), Emma is expected to perform a miracle – or at least, ensure that the Sirens don’t end up at the bottom of the league yet again. It doesn’t help that she and Regina really don’t see eye to eye on most things, or that Regina Mills is really attractive.
The story of a ragtag team of underdogs, two women with pasts to atone for, and a fairytale.

Summary
Love shouldn’t be your biggest secret, and Clarke, Lexa, Octavia and Raven are done keeping theirs quiet. On the night of Clarke’s first big solo art show the truth comes out, and the audience includes more people than they bargained for. As the night unfurls the four look back on the development of their relationship; how they avoided break ups, and mended broken hearts, learning that sometimes it’s terrifying to be in love, but it’s worth it at the end of the day, and, maybe, most importantly, discovering that under no circumstances should Clarke Griffin be allowed to cook.
