So, I have decided to write a story by rewatching every episode and writing the backstory, or rather, what I see really happening behind the scenes. Every chapter will be an episode, at least that's how I plan it. That means some chapters may be shorter than others. I will probably be leaving out most of everything that happens in the Enchanted Forest since I'm more focusing on Emma/Regina. Some chapters, and I'll let you know at the beginning of each, might be extra, or completely off the wall. Just depends on whatever makes me happy at the time. Anyway… Enjoy! :)

P.S…. None of the characters or places belong to me. Which sucks, but there it is.

No beta either… Bear with me? *bats eyelashes*

Oh, and let me know how this goes. If it sucks I'll give up. ; )

Chapter One

Once Upon a Time…

The Evil Queen was pissed. Beyond so, in fact. That little snot Snow White had finally won, or so it seemed. She went to their wedding to inform them about their upcoming tragedy. She smirked, though no one was around to see her. Their tragedy, indeed. Only her happiness mattered anymore.


Emma was freaking out. This kid shows up and claims to be her son, then tells her that fairy tales actually happened, then made her drive to this Storybrooke for some stupid reason. The door to the mansion flung open and none other than the Mayor herself flew down the sidewalk to the kid. Emma's mouth went dry. Holy shit was she gorgeous. But there was a man there, too. Surely some sort of father figure to Henry…

Emma followed Regina into the mansion, trying hard to concentrate on what she was talking about. Regina poured Emma something to drink and it was all she could do to discuss Henry instead of asking the Mayor what was going on with the Sheriff. She knew she shouldn't care that much, but she was already so curious about this strong woman. Regina was obviously indifferent to her though, so she didn't know about trying to get to know her better.

The Mayor ushered her out the door, so Emma got into her car and drove off, not suspecting the crash that would knock her out. When she woke up, she was in jail. And that annoying Sheriff was back. But then… She walked in. The blonde didn't care too much about the kid, but seeing how upset Ms. Mills was made her a little upset as well. That, and it is sad when a kid goes missing.

Emma was surprised when they let her out to help find him. She was also surprised when Regina let her back into her house. They went to the school where they met Henry's teacher, the most docile person Emma thought she had ever met. As soon as Mary Margaret told her about his castle she rushed over there. The kid was there alright, and still spouting that silly fairy tale crap. It was hard to hear him talk about his mother like that.

Regina opened the door once again for Emma to bring back Henry. Henry took the open door as an opportunity to run past Regina and get out of the way fast. Emma tried apologizing to Regina, but the older woman would have none of it. Unfortunately for Regina, Emma doesn't take kindly to being threatened. She decided to stay for awhile, just to make sure that the Mayor wouldn't do anything stupid. She checked into Granny's Bed and Breakfast. Little did she know just what staying would entail.


Okay, so at this point, since I haven't become too invested yet, I can either continue this story or let it rest in peace. But I would like to know if anyone's actually enjoying it! Yes, I get that it's basically the show, so let me know what I should change, or if I should. Or whatever.
