Hey everybody so this is going to be my SQ one-shots and Tumblr prompts. Just a few glimpses in the life of our two favourite woman. More will follow and if you have an wishes please write me on Twitter (SophiiSunshine) Tumblr (onceuponahappytime) or in the Reviews and I'll try to get to them.
As usual I don't own anything and I'm responsible for all mistakes made.
Based on this prompt:(Flashback)Dark Swan takes and crushes Regina's heart for the curse but splits her own heart and gives one half to Regina to live. (Present time) Memories are restored and Regina confronts Emma.
Regina inhales sharply as her and Emma's eyes lock, as dark scared ones meet green cold ones. All the warmth, all the care disappeared replaced by hatred and determination. Determined to destroy the light of the world and anyone standing in the way. Standing in the way like Regina was doing now, her hand lifted but unable to do what Emma asked her in Camelot.
Camelot which seemed like it had been an eternity ago despite being only a few months since Emma trusted her with the dagger with the task to save her like she saved a woman once known as the Evil Queen from the darkness.
But Regina knows she was wrong she doesn't have the strength to destroy Emma to get rid of the person who sacrificed her soul for her, who believed in her when no one would, who had stolen her heart long ago. So she only stands still watching with horror how Emma's hand reaches out, how her hand breaks through the tender skin of her chest, long soft fingers closing around her heart, squeezing the delicate organ lightly. A rush of pain rans through Regina's body and she has to clench her teeth not to scream in pain. She searches Emma's eyes for the woman she once fell in love with, that kind hearted idiot foolish enough to love someone like her, who deserves someone far better than her.
But tears gather in her eyes when she can't find her when only the Dark One is starring at her lips curved into a taunting smile and before Regina can comprehend what is actually happening Emma rips her heart out with a fast and smooth motion. The pain makes her see stars, sharp and excruciating but not worse than what Regina feels when Emma looks at her like she's nothing, just a means to an end. "Emma please don't do this. You are better than this," Regina whispers not able to take the desperation out of her voice. But Emma only laughs at her snarling:" No Your Majesty I'm not."
"Yes you are dear. Come one Emma I know you are still in there don't let the Dark One win." Regina looks pleadingly at her lover hoping to get through to her but then:" Oh my sweet foolish girl the Dark One has already won a long time ago. The Emma you know the oh so perfect savior was weak and far too caring and is now long gone."
"Emma please think about what you are…," before Regina can finish her sentence Emma squeezes her heart again harder this time, hard enough to make her knees buckle under her weight. She sits now heavy breathing at Emma's feet. "It's too late Regina. You need to die it is the only way for me to win. It's either you or me and Madame Mayor and I'm tired of fixing your mistakes, I'm tired of you."
"Emma I…," Regina started but Emma closes her hand slowly around her heart whispering:" Goodbye Regina, "and then crushes it. "I love you." Regina chokes out her dark eyes finding Emma's one last time before the world turns black and she can feel herself die. The last thing she sees is the realisation in Emma's green eyes, the last things she sees is Emma not the Dark One and then she is gone.
Emma gasps in horror as she has Regina's lifeless body in her arms finally snapping out of the darkness which was having such a strong hold on her. That is when it hits her what she has done. Emma desperately shakes Regina but the Queen doesn't react, her chest isn't rising anymore and something in Emma breaks, shatters into million pieces. "What have I done? Regina please come back to me, I'm so sorry please, please. I love you too please come back to me!" But no matter how much Emma pleads and begs the dark haired beauty doesn't react. Emma starts sobbing pulling Regina close to her but nothing will bring her back to her nothing but…Emma's head snaps up as she remembers the reason why both her parents survived casting the Dark Curse, splitting up a heart, an act of true love. It had to work, it had to be the solution she couldn't lose Regina. So Emma breaths in deeply and then just like she did moments ago with Regina she pushes her hand into her chest and rips her heart out. Her heart which now has multiple dark spots on it, making Emma swallow hard but she doesn't have time to think about that now.
She takes the heart in both hands, breaths in and out again and then splits it. The pain that goes through her is severe but also more than deserved, Emma thinks with a frown. But nevertheless it works she has two heart parts in her hand and after pressing a soft kiss on Regina's forehead she pushed the one half back inside her and the other into Regina's chest. Then there is silence and then the miracle happens Regina opens her eyes and once again their eyes lock only this time both are loving. Emma sighs in relieve she did it, she saved the love of her life.
Sometime later after they succeeded with the impossible task, freeing Emma from the darkness Regina and Emma sit next to each other on a bench Emma's heart heavy of guilt and Regina without her memories of that event that had occurred. Emma couldn't bear the thought of Regina knowing what she did not mention the fact that Regina would also be furious if Emma told her that she split her heart to save her. But like it happens more often in the last time of Emma's life fate isn't that kind. After Regina's multiple question if everything was alright and Emma's avoidance of them Regina simply presses her lips onto Emma's. The first time since Emma had gotten rid of the Dark One and before Emma can fully understand what is happening she sees Regina's horror written all over her face and Emma knows Regina knows.
"Regina I'm so sorry I didn't mean to…" but before Emma can throw one apology after another at the woman in front of her Regina puts one finger on Emma's lips silencing her." Miss Swan how could you be so stupid. Splitting your heart you could've died!" Emma looks up at her in utter surprise:" I almost killed you Regina I had to do everything to save you. Do you really think I was worrying about my life in that moment? All I wanted was you back."
"You were not yourself there is nothing to apologize for. But you shouldn't have done it Emma I'm not worth you risking your life again for me and…" Now it is Emma who presses her lips onto Regina's to make her silent. "Shut up Regina." "What? Miss Swan I…" "You are worth it, you are worth everything and you know why? Because I love you too and I'm so so sorry."
Regina swallows hard at Emma's words takes her hand into hers saying knowing (seeing the massive guilt in those wonderful green eyes) how important it is for Emma:" Apology accepted alright dear? I tried to curse you once and you tried to kill me once so let's say we even," Regina says with a soft smile stroking a strand of Emma's blond locks behind her ear. "But I…" "Emma listen we wasted to much of our life with feeling guilty let's just move on because I love you and I don't want to spend another day haunted by the past alright?"
Emma's only response is a kiss, crashing her lips onto Regina's and both woman are ready that day to leave the past behind them, ready to start their future… their future together.
