Summary
“Hey,” Regina hears from behind her, and when she turns she sees Emma standing there, hands stuffed in her back pockets. “So I guess it’s you and me?” Looking around, she sees that the entire rest of the class has in fact partnered up. Emma doesn’t look very promising, but considering her only other real option is to continue practicing on her own in front of a dozen or so other adults, it seems Emma will have to do.
In which Regina signs up for ballroom dance lessons and Emma turns out to not be the worst possible thing to happen to her. Not that she would ever say such a thing out loud.

Summary
Here's the thing. Ms. Swan and Ms. Mills hate each other. Their feud is the lifeblood of the Storybrooke Middle School rumor mill. Discerning observers might suspect something else entirely– a crush, masked by obnoxious hostility and even more obnoxious pranks– but in the long run, what's going to get two romantically repressed women to figure out that they're uselessly in love?
Maybe a really dramatic Homecoming. Maybe enough interference by the resident baby gays of Storybrooke Middle School. Maybe a few more moments of unexpected vulnerability.
Maybe a little boy with a secret.

Summary
If tiny fourth grade Emma had gone in to see the fortune teller, and the woman had told her that when she was 27 years old, she would fall head over heels in love with Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, she would have laughed herself right out of the tent.
The thing is, the woman would've been correct.
Well, mostly.

Summary
A SwanQueen re-imagining of 4x10-4x12, where the Snow Queen's Shattered Sight curse hits and Regina becomes the Evil Queen again for just a little while.
Set soon after Normal [Monsters], and while I don't think it's entirely necessary to have read that first - hey, it could be fun! This is a little darker, and maybe a little dirtier. Best to presume spoilers for all of 4a.
"In the quietness of stone and woods, Emma had found solace and fortitude; in the cathedral of a mouth, something like benediction. All day it echoed - when she stood in front of the ice wall, or helped Elsa with her sister’s bespelled necklace - her body twinged, ached pleasantly; reminded her of time spent with the woman who never stopped surprising her. Regina Mills."

After being saved from a near-death experience, Henry finds himself swept up in the flashy life of wealthy elite Regina Mills. He doesn't expect the week long getaway from his life in the foster system. He doesn't expect the new clothes or the endless food or the fancy penthouse.

A fluffy AU about finding family inspired by the movie musical Annie

Summary
Emma doesn't mind Christmas. But she thinks Storybrook is going a little overboard this year. Especially with the mistletoe. At least once a day, Emma finds herself in an uncomfortable position with a friend or fiend or family member beneath the mistletoe. It nearly happened twice with Leroy, which she narrowly avoided with an elbow to the gut.
But mostly it happens with Regina.
Naturally, Emma is suspicious.
