every winter fades away (into the spring) by coalitiongirl

Summary
Emma reaches for Regina’s hand again, but Regina’s moved her ice cream to it instead. “Though, I mean, if I were into women, your mom would definitely be first on my list,” Emma tells Henry.
“I’m flattered,” Regina says dryly.
Her voice sounds a little strained, and Emma tries to lighten the tone. She hadn’t thought Regina would be uncomfortable with the idea of…well, Henry has two mommies, but the Enchanted Forest had seemed a little regressive. “What? Are you saying I’m not on your list?”
“Yes, Emma,” Regina says, and she barks out a choked laugh of her own. “If I were into women, you would definitely be on my list.”
[A year in the lives of Emma and Regina, falling in love all the way through and doing every bit of it backwards.]

enemies with benefits (not dental, though) by coalitiongirl

Summary
Enemies with benefits. That's all this is, right? It's not like Emma's going to hook up with Regina a few times and promptly fall in love with her, no matter what anyone else seems to think. Probably. Maybe.

Summary
It had been a simple dare, one that had made sense when Emma had been two drinks away from passing out. She doesn’t know what exactly Ruby had done to bind it– is still very new to magic as a real thing, flowing through Storybrooke– but it’s now a dare she can’t back off on.
Ruby had laid out the rules, more and more smug as she had gone on. “So if Regina wears a red dress, you have to pick a fight with her.” Emma hadn’t questioned that one. “But if she wears blue, you have to give her a compliment. And if she wears grey, you gotta call her Your Majesty.” She’d been a little drunk, too, enough that she’d gotten bold. “Light colors mean you have to tell her whatever’s on your mind. Whatever.” Her eyes had narrowed in ominous delight. “And for black…for black, you have to flirt with her.”

that’s my emotional support wasp, actually by coalitiongirl

Summary
A wasp starts following Emma around while Emma struggles to repair her friendship with Regina.
It's a terrible wingman (but not as terrible as that pun).
