Summary
It’s been eight years since the last time Regina and Emma saw each other, eight years since Emma lost part of her happiness, her family, and everything fell apart. But she hasn’t forgotten those three years in New York, or any of what Regina had brought into her life. And if she can be honest with herself, she might even admit that she wants it back.
A late night phone call to Regina takes Emma back eleven years to when they met, saved each other from loneliness, and Emma started learning what it meant to live. She relives the moments that had changed her life for the better, and even the ones that had hurt.
The question is never if there was love between the two of them, but if the love that was there eight years ago will be enough to bring them back into each other’s life.

Summary
Emma Swan, ten years of age, has decided that she will not get attached to Foster Mother Number Twelve, her new temporary siblings, or anything else that comes with House Number Twelve. Foster homes are not loving, and soon, it would just be another number in the back of her journal, just another house, just another family that didn't want her.
Emma doesn't expect kindness from Foster Mother Number Twelve. She doesn't expect compassion from the girl she's meant to consider her sister. And Emma most certainly doesn't expect Regina, the self-proclaimed smartest girl in her class, to be anything more than the nerd she sits beside.
But maybe House Number Twelve is more than just a number on the back page of her journal. And maybe, just maybe, things aren't as temporary as Emma swears they are.
(or, the one where roots try to grow, young love can one day be more, and forever homes are real)

Summary
Emma reaches for Regina’s hand again, but Regina’s moved her ice cream to it instead. “Though, I mean, if I were into women, your mom would definitely be first on my list,” Emma tells Henry.
“I’m flattered,” Regina says dryly.
Her voice sounds a little strained, and Emma tries to lighten the tone. She hadn’t thought Regina would be uncomfortable with the idea of…well, Henry has two mommies, but the Enchanted Forest had seemed a little regressive. “What? Are you saying I’m not on your list?”
“Yes, Emma,” Regina says, and she barks out a choked laugh of her own. “If I were into women, you would definitely be on my list.”
[A year in the lives of Emma and Regina, falling in love all the way through and doing every bit of it backwards.]

Summary
With Regina's magical heart failing thanks to years of previous evil, Emma and Regina and Henry (and Granny!) set out to save her life by traveling to the Enchanted Forest and requesting help from ancient magical beings known as the Guardians. Given a mission as simple as it is impossible - to achieve atonement by creating peace - the ladies find themselves joining a rebellion and fighting for the very soul of the Enchanted Forest all while trying to help Regina to understand that the self-loathing and guilt which have driven most of her actions don't have to doom her chance for a new beginning or even, a chance to live and love again. A S4(ish) SQ love story set against the turmoil of war and the chaotic savagery of the old world.
