Summary
Emma Swan is no one’s fool. She’s certainly not going to drink the strange liquid that the creepy Ren Faire Reject that’s been stalking she and her son is offering her in the middle of the street - even if they are in front of a police station. So what’s a girl to do? Nothing but go home and get engaged to the great guy in her life. And everything is pretty amazing until her son disappears without a trace. Then she has to go track him down in some tiny town in Maine populated by the strangest people she’s ever met and a woman her son has unexpectedly bonded with.

Summary
“Hey,” Regina hears from behind her, and when she turns she sees Emma standing there, hands stuffed in her back pockets. “So I guess it’s you and me?” Looking around, she sees that the entire rest of the class has in fact partnered up. Emma doesn’t look very promising, but considering her only other real option is to continue practicing on her own in front of a dozen or so other adults, it seems Emma will have to do.
In which Regina signs up for ballroom dance lessons and Emma turns out to not be the worst possible thing to happen to her. Not that she would ever say such a thing out loud.

Summary
She imagines a life where their roles are reversed, where Hook ended up dead instead of with a broken nose, and all of the awful she could have - would have - done had she made it to Regina in time, because Emma is so familiar with the darkness that she can practically feel it vibrating under her skin.

Summary
Queen Abigail's company have come to the White Kingdom, about which everyone is delighted except for Lady Regina Mills, a long time guest of the White Kingdom, because the idea of weeks spent in the company of Leopold's brash niece, Emma Swan, is quite intolerable. While waiting for the marriage of Prince James and Princess Snow to take place, the party decide to have a little sport at Regina and Emma's expense. After all, two so adamantly opposed to love - and, in particular, their love for each other - would make a most comic pairing.
Featuring a masquerade, a sleeping curse, Henry knowing more than he should, some dreadful butchering of Shakespeare's 'Much Ado About Nothing', and a fair helping of romance.

Summary
“I was told a double rush order would be here in twenty minutes or less,” she said coolly, and gestured to the clock on the wall beside them.
Looking over, Emma saw the face reading 6:45, just a few minutes past the twenty minute deadline. Eyes narrowing slightly, she licked her lips. “Yeah, it’s just a couple minutes past,” Emma said, and shifted her weight to one hip.
Tilting her chin up slightly she repeated, “Twenty minutes or less,” and Emma felt her head start to pound. What a way to end the day.
Bike messenger AU, in which Regina is a CEO that enjoys messing with Emma, and Emma does not back down. For the sake of her job, of course, and not because of the way Regina eyes light up when she's angry.

Zelena knows hunger of all kinds. Only now does it really occur to her that here, she may never feel any of them.
Most of them, anyway. The smell of food meant for her and warmth emitting from the kitchen is enough to be her security. Lasagna is her new security.
Maybe. If it’s even all that.
