Summary
Emma returns from the past with Marian. Regina expects to feel rage. Instead, she feels something far worse—relief. Behind a closed door, with too much left unsaid and too much already lost, they try to hold themselves together. Because sometimes love isn’t about fighting. Sometimes it’s about letting go.

Summary
What if Emma said I love you first?
.
A reimagining of OUAT Season 1, Episode 1x07 with a SwanQueen twist.
Emma and Graham get into an argument at Granny's, but instead of burying her feelings, confronts him with the truth: she’s in love with Regina, and that's why him being with her, hurts her. That's why she's angry. Hidden in the shadows, Regina overhears everything ... and starts to unravel. She has Graham’s heart. She’s convinced what they have is real. Despite it being curated, and wrong, but maybe it never was. Maybe… something real could exist with Emma. A canon divergent "What If" where one confession shifts everything.

Summary
Vi looks at the big clock on the far wall. 7:46AM. She’s one minute late today. Every morning for the past six months - well, every morning Vi’s been on shift, so she’s just assuming about the other days - she’s passed by at exactly 7:45AM, always at a brisk walk, always in a perfectly-tailored suit, not a single long, silky-looking hair out of place.
7:47AM. The crisp clack of heeled boots on concrete pulls Vi out of her musings. There must have been some sort of emergency, because the subject of Vi’s (minor) obsession walks past the fire station at a faster clip than normal. Which is sort of saying something, because Mystery Woman’s got legs for days, long and slender, visibly toned with long, lean muscle through her suit pants. At the faster clip, Vi has less time to admire her ass and tiny, tiny waist as she walks by, but that’s fine, because the view as she leaves is fantastic.
OR
Caitlyn's route to work as a detective at the 51st Precinct takes her right by Fire Station #516, and Vi's been pining after the gorgeous Mystery Woman for six months...what will happen when she finds out that Caitlyn's a cop (AKA: The Enemy)?

Summary
Regina finds herself in an endless loop of failures. Her body, her rank, and her mind. When an accident meant to end her brings the unit leader to her door, Regina has no idea the adventure that is about to take place. As she travels further from The Faction, she must finally face the fact that she has no idea who she is.
Emma was kidnapped by The Faction as a small child. Fate and luck would have her adopted by her kidnapper -- the head of the faction -- rising in rank and station, and completing her eight debts to society early. Emma may be successful in The Faction, but she is harboring a secret: she will never be one of them. As she makes for her great escape, she becomes entangled with the last person she ever thought she would be traveling with, Regina. As Emma searches for home, she can’t help but think that maybe Regina doesn't need to head off on her own.

Summary
Emma almost has everything. She's got a wonderful son, a beautiful, tender friend and co-parent, and a family she can count on. It was all she ever dreamed of, once upon a time. At times, she thinks she finally understands what authors mean when they end their story with: they lived happily ever after.
But the feeling always leaves her by the morning. Sometimes she thinks her real happy ending has disappeared somewhere in the past, somewhere in between the curses and forgotten memories. And now it is only a possibility lost to her memories.
If she could go back...
(or in other words, season 6 emma goes back in time and accidentally makes season 1 regina fall in love with her.)

Summary
That was when their eyes met across the diner. The green orbs got slightly larger as she realised who the chocolate eyes belonged to. Regina couldn't hear it, but she saw how Emma's lips moved, clearly pronouncing her name. It was like the people around them disappeared, there were no voices, no music. Just them. It was the most used cliché from a movie or a book, but that was really how it felt like to Regina.
.
Post-S7. Regina tries to come to terms with her feelings towards the blonde Saviour and the heartache of the past. But when new information comes to light, how will she cope? Will Emma and Regina find their way to each other? Or is the pain too much?
