Summary
It didn’t make much sense, if you thought about it. One moment David and Mary Margaret were all paranoid and defensive toward Regina, and the next they were doing whatever was in their power to keep their arch-nemesis alive.

Summary
The drive back to the city was long and quiet. She didn’t turn on the radio. She didn’t think about what came next. She only thought about her. About Kara. About how every time Supergirl had saved her, every time Supergirl had looked at her with that soft, familiar expression… it had been Kara looking at her. Watching her. Judging her. She realized now that Supergirl hadn’t saved her because she was special. She had saved her because she was dangerous. Because she was a Luthor. Because it was her job to keep the city safe from people like Lena. There was no kindness in it. There was no love. There was only duty and deception.

Summary
Canon-divergent season 2. No wraith, no magic hat.
The curse is broken and their entire world shatters. When Regina is put on trial for crimes against the people, she's dealt a punishment no one could have ever imagined. Now saddled with the burden of responsibility, the Saviour seems intent on making it her personal mission to ensure Regina's safety. And it wouldn't be such a big deal, only there are feelings that choke Regina whenever Emma shows that she cares (which is often, and never ending, and a problem).
But Regina learns that wants and needs are often one in the same, that redemption can come in form of healing, and gifts from a curse can only be unwrapped by the people who broke it.
Written for Swan Queen Supernova 2020.

Summary
In the aftermath of the S2 finale, an exhausted and shaken up Regina, who is finally confronting her violent life choices, teams up with the Charmings and Hook to save Henry from a malicious Peter Pan who wants little more than to defeat the notorious Evil Queen and steal Henry's heart for his own. While reluctantly assisting Emma with her magic, Regina and Emma form a bond first via whispered conversations they can only have late at night and then later within their shared dreams. Connected not only as desperate co-mothers desperate to find their child, but also as damaged kindred spirits wanting to start over - maybe even with each other. Together, they will go on an intense journey of sacrifice, love, redemption, friendship, hope, help, faith and family.
AKA a rewrite of the S3 Neverland arc wherein magic lessons, late night conversations around a campfire (in and of out dreams) and the shared love of a very special child brings two damaged women together in a beautiful way they never saw coming.

Summary
"What does it say about me when the people I choose don't choose me back?"
"Emma…"
"People get rejected all the time, right? This is nothing new. I'll live." Emma grins sadly to herself, a humorless tilt of her head as her eyes meets Regina's. "Well."
The silence between them stifles, chokes. Regina has nothing to say, and Emma expects as much. She stands, one hand cold, the other empty, and walks home.

Summary
After Emma became utterly convinced (by the memories of a dog and the word of the mother she had just met) that Regina was guilty of the murder of Dr. Archie Hopper, the savior had no choice but to help execute the punishment on (her girlfriend) the Evil Queen: permanent exile from Storybrooke.
A disastrous fight with the Queen of Hearts, a struggle to save the town from total annihilation, a journey to Neverland, and five years in the Enchanted Forest later, Storybrooke faces a terrible unknown threat that no hero seems capable of resolving or even comprehending.
The only hope of breaking the new curse appears to be Regina Mills. Henry and Emma set out on a quest to find the woman, confident that nearly six years of estrangement have made her easier to deal with. It’s a plan that can’t fail… right?
The only problem is that Regina would rather drink battery acid than set foot in that damned town again.

Summary
Canon divergent from 2x10 Cricket Games,
What if Emma believed that Regina didn't kill Archie? What if Emma and Regina just decided they were done fighting? How does this decision change the course of season 2? Slow burn, character centric, friends to lovers
I'm not overly interested in the plot of canon season 2 but some events that happen there will happen here.

Lena left National City nine months ago and never looked back.
In a quiet Irish village, she’s built a smaller life. Simple. Predictable. Built on routine and the hope that distance might finally be enough. Enough to forget her old life. Enough to forget her.
Most days, it is.
