Summary
When Emma signed up to work as actress Regina Mills’ bodyguard, neither of them thought that what was supposed to be a temporary gig would result in one of the closest relationships of their lives—or that a few days spent rooming together at a convention would change their dynamic forever, transforming their simple intimacy into something new and life-altering.
Or: The actress/bodyguard AU where Emma shows Regina the true freedom of submission.

Summary
When the Darkness is no longer tethered to the Crocodile, it seeks out a new host.
“You think, you are the diner at the feast, tasting the offerings. A little love, a little darkness. What you don’t realize is – you are the feast. And the Darkness has tasted you. The Darkness likes how you taste, dearie. It doesn’t mind the bitter, and now that it’s started the meal, it’s going to finish it.”
Regina knows she is just the appetizer; Emma Swan, the Savior, is the feast.

Summary
When Emma Swan was 18, it wasn't the best time to raise a baby. She was in juvie, the best foster mother she ever had died suddenly, and that jerk Neal let her take the fall for their mistake. So the best thing she could do was let baby Swan be put up for adoption.
Ten years later, after a semi-decent career as a bail bondsperson, Emma is looking for clues to make sure that letting baby Swan go was the right decision. There isn't much she can find out (legally) because it was a closed adoption, but the leads brought her to a small town hidden in Maine, where she got a job as a deputy sheriff.
Regina is the fifth generation embalming in the basement of Mills & Sons, a family funeral home operating for over 80 years. Her funerals are orderly, quiet, and families usually have no complaints about her work, to which she dedicates herself with a professional passion. But it wasn't always this way. There are days in Director Mills's past that left a deep and permanent mark. Her greatest joy: little Henry, the precious baby boy she adopted when he was three months old.
An administrative error that brought Deputy Swan to the foyer of the town's only funeral home could change these two women's lives forever.

Summary
"Let me die as Regina." And she did. The Failsafe was too powerful. Emma, Henry and the Charmings arrived too late. Nothing was left save for a scarf, a pair of shoes and a shiny black jewel. Two would-be kidnappers were thwarted.
A year later, living with Henry in the house on Mifflen Street, Emma protects the town, raises her son and tries not to be haunted by the perfectly preserved study that her son insisted that they keep. The Failsafe sitting on the mantle like some perverse urn.

Summary
After a prolonged silence and a few calls from the Evil Queen's neighbors expressing concern over the lack of activity, Emma Swan goes investigating her nemesis' relative quiet. It is by pure chance that she stumbles upon the farewell gift the once powerful queen had left her, an envelope with her son's name on it, carefully set upon the desk that sits in the mansion at 108 Mifflin Street.
But dark forces are never far behind Storybrooke, and things might just change to the point of no return. Despite her attempts at yet a new beginning, Regina eventually finds herself facing a terrible threat that starts to rip away the seams of reality, all the while discovering truths that had best remained unearthed.

Summary
In the aftermath of the S2 finale, an exhausted and shaken up Regina, who is finally confronting her violent life choices, teams up with the Charmings and Hook to save Henry from a malicious Peter Pan who wants little more than to defeat the notorious Evil Queen and steal Henry's heart for his own. While reluctantly assisting Emma with her magic, Regina and Emma form a bond first via whispered conversations they can only have late at night and then later within their shared dreams. Connected not only as desperate co-mothers desperate to find their child, but also as damaged kindred spirits wanting to start over - maybe even with each other. Together, they will go on an intense journey of sacrifice, love, redemption, friendship, hope, help, faith and family.
AKA a rewrite of the S3 Neverland arc wherein magic lessons, late night conversations around a campfire (in and of out dreams) and the shared love of a very special child brings two damaged women together in a beautiful way they never saw coming.

Summary
“So you’re saying that I invited myself to your apartment with the intention of sex, and you just… went with it? No convincing needed?”
It’s hard to tell in the candlelit room, but Emma swears she notices a hint of red on Regina’s cheeks. Emma chuckles and shrugs.
“Who am I to turn down a beautiful woman desperate for sex on her birthday?” Emma teases, giving her a goofy smile.
Regina sucks her teeth with a slight tsk sound. For a brief second, Emma thinks she might be embarrassed, but she quickly recovers, plastering on a mayoral smile.
“Semantics. It doesn’t matter whose idea it was; we’re both here now, aren’t we? We came for the same thing, and clearly you’re looking forward to the arrangement,” she says, and Emma’s heart thumps. She can’t tell if Regina’s mocking her as she waves to the candles that light the room.
—
Or where it’s Regina’s birthday and they somehow, accidentally agree to having birthday sex. There may or may not be feelings and handcuffs involved.

Summary
My original 2013 summary: Regina groans, pushing herself off the ground. Tiny cuts on her palms sting, mud stains the cream night gown she wasn't very fond of anyway. Leaves and twigs embed in her hair. She's stuck, somewhere in the in between, without her Henry, without her everything. Grief and sorrow call all her attention, and she doesn't see the hooded man stalking her from the trees.
If you're joining for the rewrite? 2025 summary: The Curse is broken, and Regina Mills has been dragged back to the Enchanted Forest, a realm that remembers everything she tried to forget. Trapped with Snow, David, and the remnants of their kingdom, Regina must lead a fractured people through the heart of a haunted land. As old enemies stir and the land itself turns hostile, Regina must reckon with the person she used to be, the mother she longs to become again, and the terrifying possibility that she may not survive the journey home. But the forest isn't the only thing that sees her clearly, and sometimes, the way back isn't about magic. It's about the people who choose to walk beside you.

Summary
In the quiet, rebuilt town of Storybrooke, Maine, Emma Swan returns for her 190th birthday, though she doesn’t look a day over twenty-one.
She comes back every fifty years or so. Same town. New faces. But this time, something’s different.
She sees her.
A young woman who looks exactly like the lover Emma lost in 1835, the one who died in a fire meant to cleanse the town of its monsters. The one who turned her.
But that’s impossible. Regina can’t be real. She died that night… didn’t she?
Haunted by memories she tried to forget and drawn to a woman who shouldn’t exist, Emma begins to unravel the truth behind her past and the lies that shaped her eternity. In a world where vampire blood runs deeper than love, and doppelgängers carry dangerous legacies, one question begins to burn:
What if this Regina isn’t a doppelgänger at all? What if true love never really dies?

Summary
After Emma became utterly convinced (by the memories of a dog and the word of the mother she had just met) that Regina was guilty of the murder of Dr. Archie Hopper, the savior had no choice but to help execute the punishment on (her girlfriend) the Evil Queen: permanent exile from Storybrooke.
A disastrous fight with the Queen of Hearts, a struggle to save the town from total annihilation, a journey to Neverland, and five years in the Enchanted Forest later, Storybrooke faces a terrible unknown threat that no hero seems capable of resolving or even comprehending.
The only hope of breaking the new curse appears to be Regina Mills. Henry and Emma set out on a quest to find the woman, confident that nearly six years of estrangement have made her easier to deal with. It’s a plan that can’t fail… right?
The only problem is that Regina would rather drink battery acid than set foot in that damned town again.

Summary
Echo of Aethel is a tale of lost realms, ancient power, and a love that refuses to fade.
When one woman vanishes in a burst of magic, another is left behind, haunted by a silence that feels too final. As darkness stirs and forgotten legends awaken, the line between sacrifice and destiny begins to blur. Whispers of a Queen, echoes of a name, and a thread of magic that refuses to break, something is calling her back.
Two hearts. Countless realms. One impossible pull.
The truth lies on the other side of the veil.Bookmarked by TheConscienceThing
