Summary
“At last, the infamous Mayor Mills!” Emma’s bright smile slides slowly off her face when his mother shifts uncomfortably at his side, when she returns the Coach’s handshake less than enthusiastically.
“Deputy Swan,” his mom cuts in smoothly. “It’s nice to finally meet you,” but her voice is hard, like cut glass, and Henry knows, without looking that she’s wearing her Mayor face, the one he watches her slip on every morning on their way out the door, and the one he knows she doesn’t take off until just before he climbs into the Mercedes after practice.

Summary
“Thank you,” she murmurs, her lips full and her eyes maybe a little bit watery. She turns to go before Emma can respond, but, with her back to Emma, says into the darkness, “I don’t make wishes.” This is an offering, and Emma places the words down inside her ribcage, to be saved, always. “Maybe…maybe don’t forget. Today,” she clarifies. “Maybe don’t forget today, and next year, you’re invited. For dinner.”
Title from Gregory Alan Isakov's "The Universe."

Summary
Sometimes, two people look each other in the eyes and they’re done for. They know they belong together, and they’ll tell their friends, “this is the girl I’m going to marry one day.”
And sometimes, it takes two people years to figure it out because they’re too stubborn, too scared, or too caught up in their own world to see what’s oh, so clear for everyone else.
This story is about the latter pair.Or: When Harry met Sally, swanqueenified.

Summary
She needs to remember, Emma desperately realizes in a flash. She’ll do anything, anything to remember. Blindly, she crosses the town line; the clouds rolling in right behind her, Regina’s face, the last to disappear in the green magic cloud, etched into her mind. She needs to keep them in her thoughts, needs to hold on-
~*~
“So, where to next?”
Emma blinks, thinking she saw something in the rearview mirror, but realizes it’s probably been a reflection of the sun.
Or: As Regina slowly starts to realize exactly why the Fates told her to leave both Henry and Emma behind in Storybrooke when Pan's Curse hit, she desperately searches for a way back to the Land Without Magic. Meanwhile, in New York, Emma gradually falls in love with a fairy tale character in a mysterious storybook.
