Summary
Fifteen years ago, Emma Swan and Regina Mills were in love. Then Regina cut her out without warning.
Now Emma is a trauma surgeon, newly arrived at Boston Mercy. Regina is the Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery. They didn’t plan to cross paths again, let alone work together. But their specialties intersect, and avoiding each other isn't possible. Keeping things professional only works for so long.
Eventually, something has to give.

Summary
Post-finale. Regina returns home to Storybrooke after years away to find that very little has changed in the years since she'd been gone. She still has a son there waiting, struggling to adjust to a new world. She still has a partner, a best friend in a turbulent marriage who looks at her with far too much raw affection in her eyes.
But Emma also has a little girl now, an infant with Regina's eyes and Regina's magic, and soon, all of Storybrooke as Regina has known it will change irrevocably with her arrival.

Summary
Just days after Emma announces her engagement, Regina is found in her vault without any memory of the past five seasons. The newly returned Mayor Mills is caustic, scheming, unnerved by her own future, and loves only Henry– and she might see more clearly than anyone around her.
Then again, that might not be for the best.

Summary
Neverland is a place that runs on imagination, but ever since they came back, everything has continued being strangely dream-like. Neverland meant being constantly on the edge, like in a particularly vivid nightmare, but now all the edges seem to have disappeared.
Or: The story in which everyone is sort of jealous without knowing why. Vague S3 spoilers. Also, food.

Summary
Emma Swan– orphan, vagrant, and possible secret princess– has been gifted with obedience. She has no choice but to follow any orders given to her, which is complicated enough before life throws in her long-lost parents, a power-hungry witch, and the evil queen she just happens to be in love with.

Summary
“Emma, what the hell were you thinking?” She sounds more concerned than angry, though the blonde can tell both emotions are there.
Emma shrugs. “I was worried,” she answers, the about you left implied.
“You’re an idiot.”
“What?” Emma frowns, looking at Regina as the other woman makes her way to a standing position, arm outstretched to help Emma up. “Why?”
“You just are.”

Summary
You take a step forward, but with your eyes glued to Emma as she unknowingly glides closer to where you stand, you step on a small branch. It cracks loudly beneath your foot, and Emma’s gaze snaps up to you at the sound.
“Emma!” You can feel your own relief in the taste of her name on your tongue. But the second you say her name the world bursts into color. You stumble backwards into a nearby tree, suddenly breathless.

For two weeks, there’s nothing.
In her obliviousness, she dismisses the few petals as a one-time thing; a two-time thing, even. A figment of her imagination perhaps, if she tries hard enough.
(It’s the simmering calm before a raging thunderstorm, she will realize later, a bit further down the road.)
or, the hanahaki disease fic. set on s5. the underworld happens, but hook stays dead and robin lives. a week after they all get back to storybrooke, emma coughs up a flower petal.

Summary
Emma's upset and frustrated -- in more than one way -- when Hook leaves her in the middle of the night. Regina has a solution.
--
Emma glances away, suddenly aware that she’s staring. She swallows, and says in as composed a manner as she can manage, “What would you suggest, then?”
Regina tilts her head to the side, licks her lips with a little shrug and says, “Oh, you know. Join a gym. Run it out.” Emma must pull a face at that one, because she laughs and continues, “Pin his face to a dummy and throw some darts. Go out into the woods and throw some fireballs. Or, better yet.” She pauses, and waits until Emma’s eyes flicker back to her own before she continues. “Fuck somebody.”

Summary
Regina Mills is owner and proprietor of the Black Soul coffee shop in Boston, but is better known throughout the universe as Regaphiel, Princess of Hell, Destroyer of Kings, Butcher of Babylon, Slaughterer of Sodom, and Evil Queen of England. Around the corner, Emma Swan, better known as Emeleth, Angel First Class and Guardian of the Northern Gate, runs a flower shop called Heavenly Blossoms. They are, ostensibly, sworn enemies, despite the fact that they have a standing joint Sunday brunch reservation at a chic restaurant that serves perfect mimosas.
One day, Regina finds a baby in an alley and decides to raise it as her own, setting off a chain of events that will affect not just the two of them, but also the denizens of heaven and hell, God, Satan, humanity, and the universe itself.

Summary
“Oh, I don’t know,” Regina says. “It makes a certain amount of sense on paper. Henry’s two mothers, all that fighting, making magic together, tentative trust built. Destroyed of course, but Robin needn’t know that. Plus, I knew it would really irritate him.”
Emma wants to ask why but also doesn’t want to push her luck. “And you expect me to go along with this?”
“I don’t know how else to put this, Ms Swan,” Regina says, leaning forward. “You owe me and I’m calling to collect.”
It's been a month and Regina won't speak to her, until she does and Emma is left pretending to be in a relationship with her so that Regina can get through a dinner invitation with her pride intact.- Language:

Summary
It’s totally fine, because Emma’s known about Regina’s bisexuality from the third day of their cohabitation. Regina had been dating this dud named Robin when Emma first moved in and when Emma made some stupid joke about marriage, Regina backed her up against the couch and went off on her for almost twenty minutes about heteronormativity and bi-erasure.
“My foster sister, Ruby is bisexual,” Emma had said with a shrug.
Regina had narrowed her eyes at her.
