Summary
Each time Regina’s eyes closed and her breathing got too weak, Emma snapped her fingers in front of Regina’s face, forcing Regina to focus on her. “Stay with me, Regina,” she said. “You have to stay with me.” Emma talked until her voice was so hoarse she thought she couldn’t physically talk anymore, and then somehow managed to keep talking. She told Regina all of her best bail-bonds-person stories, her adventures as a juvenile delinquent, anything and everything she could think of to keep Regina’s attention on her, keep her from drifting away.

Summary
Emma has hidden her face behind a curtain of unruly hair for now, but manages to tip it back on command--and Regina looks down at Emma’s chest and the heart she knows is beating there; wonders absently if any of her problems would be solved if she just plucked it out and kept it in her jewelry box upstairs--and looks at her with the kind of anguish that really and truly doesn’t befit a storybook savior.
“The curse. It didn't break right, so how do I fix it?”
[Part 1 of a 3-part post-curse AU that mostly ignores Season 2 developments; see the notes for details.]

Summary
“I’m here because... I think my kid is having some kind of delusional breakdown because he can’t cope with the fact that ... Mayor Mills and I split up.”
Dr. Hopper pushes his glasses up his nose in a measured movement. “What makes you think that?”
“Well, among other things, he thinks his mother is about to cut Mary Margaret Blanchard’s heart out of her chest, before pulverizing it and sending her into a coma that only her true love can rescue her from.”
[AU; here, 'fairy tale land' is merely a product of Henry's imagination during a difficult time.]

Summary
One night turns into two, and two into five, and a week later, Regina is still staying at Emma's. They haven't talked about it—not even Henry has dared to upset this new, fragile balance by acknowledging it—but the mayor's house stands empty at the center of town, and little by little, Regina's belongings begin to trickle into Emma's house.

Summary
She had tried once, the first week, to undo it, had locked her office door and braced herself for the dizzying pain, but her chest had not yielded to the press of her fingers. Her heart was trapped inside her body. "My life was different. I'm not,” Regina says, because if Emma's going to stay, then she should know. Sometimes, Regina thinks she might still be as wicked as ever.
