Okay, so this is basically a selection of one shots. I have seen it done for other ships and characters, but this one is for OutlawQueen, they will be based around Robin and Regina's relationship, one for every letter of the alphabet. They will be set in a range of places, Storybrooke, Missing Year, Camelot, AU, anywhere really. They will also range in ratings, I will mention the rating at the start of each chapter.
One thing I will start off by saying is that none of them will incorporate the storyline including Zelena's baby, because I know it upset a lot of people, so yep, this is a baby (Zelena's anyway) free zone.
I hope you like it and let's get on with the first chapter which is set in Storybrooke and is T rated.
A is for Apples and Arrows
Regina carried the basket of apples inside, she had collected them from her tree with plans of baking a sweet treat for Robin. Seemingly she had some sucking up to do, she hadn't done it on purpose, it wasn't as though she meant to do it, he should have been more careful and had less faith in her arrow shooting abilities, she was a magic person, not a weapon one, what did he expect? It wasn't as if he was all that hurt anyway, she had only grazed his shoulder slightly, but she still felt incredibly guilty and knew that making him a nice dinner might get her back in is good books, hopefully.
"Regina, I'm going to teach you how to shoot my bow."
"Pffft, why?" She scoffed, sitting at the table sipping her coffee as she watched an excited looking Robin enter the dining room.
"Because I think it would be fun and it's a chance for us to spend some time together." He stated, leaning against the table, as he cast her a dimpled smile.
"Hmm, I have magic, why would I need to know how to shoot?"
"Humour me."
Regina rolled her eyes, "Robin."
"Regina."
"Can't we find something better to do with our day off?" She asked, a mischievous smirk coming onto her face, her hand finding his leg.
"Come on, it'll be fun." He took her hand and pulled her up out of her seat and into his arms.
"No, it won't, someone will probably end up getting shot."
"No they won't it's perfectly safe."
"Really?" She arched her eyebrows at him. The look on his face was adorable and she knew that she wouldn't be able to refuse him, he didn't say anything, just carried on looking at her in that way. "Fine."
"Yes, you'll be a pro by the end of the day."
"I highly doubt it."
They stood in the middle of the woods, Robin had painted a target onto a tree and Regina stood watching him with a raised eyebrow, tapping her foot. He turned and grinned at her, picking up his bow he handed it to her.
"What do you expect me to do with that thing?" She asked.
"Hold it and come stand here." He beckoned her over to him and pressed himself up against her back.
"Ooh okay, I'm complaining less about this now." She chuckled, turning to look at him over her shoulder.
"I thought you wouldn't mind." He laughed.
"Okay then thief, teach your queen how to shoot a bow and arrow."
"With pleasure. Stand here." He placed his arms around her and helped her with her stance, his fingers slipping a little lower and skimming underneath the waistband of her pants.
"Watch where you're putting your hands Locksley." She warned jokingly.
He chuckled and moved closer to her ear, adjusting the bow in her hand. He dropped a kiss on her neck, earning a quiet gasp from her. "Now, put this hand here, grasp the arrow, pull back." His hands were on top of hers guiding her.
She moved back a little pressing her ass into him. "Now what?"
"Concentrate on the target, lower your chin a little. Good yeah. Now release."
She followed his instruction, his hands still guiding her, the arrow shot through the air and hit the target. She looked at it wide eyed and turned to look at him, "I did it."
"Yeah." He grinned, "of course you did."
"Hmm, but a fireball would still do more damage than a stupid arrow." She scoffed, masking her delight at actually hitting the target.
"Whatever your majesty."
They spent the next hour practicing together, shooting at the target, Regina got bored and sat down for a snack. She took an apple out of the picnic basket she brought, and was about to eat it when an arrow came flying towards the fruit, piercing through it and carrying on, taking the apple with it. She turned to look at Robin who was laughing at her, "hey! I wanted that!"
"Sorry your majesty."
"Robin!"
"Come here."
"No."
"Come on, I want to see if you can do it on your own."
"Why?"
"Come on."
"Robin, can't we just go home?" She asked, standing and walking over to him.
"No, now try it on your own."
She furrowed her eyebrows, "where's the fun in that?"
"Just do it." He passed her an arrow and moved to stand to the right of the target, after taking out some of his previous arrows. "Come on, hit it with your best shot."
She shook her head and attached the arrow like he had shown her, she pulled it back, concentrated on the target and released it. Then she watched as it flew through the air, before she realised that it wasn't going to hit the target, Robin let out a loud yelp and she dropped the bow and ran towards him. "Oh my god! Robin!"
"You shot me!"
"I didn't mean to!" She grabbed his arm, seeing where his shirt had torn. "Oh my god! I am so sorry, are you alright?"
"You shot me." He repeated.
"You gave me a bow and arrow." She countered.
"Well I wasn't counting on you shooting me."
"Let me heal you."
"It's fine." He shook his head.
"Robin I just shot you with an arrow, how can you be fine?"
"It went straight through."
"Sit down before you pass out." She pulled him over to a fallen tree branch and ripped his shirt more, allowing her to get a better view at the wound.
"Ouch." He winced as she traced the wound with her fingertips.
"Sorry, stay still." She held him in place and hovered her hand over his shoulder, healing the wound.
"You shot me."
"I know."
"You said that someone was going to get shot."
"I didn't bloody shoot you on purpose did I? I didn't go out thinking, 'guess what, I'm going to shoot Robin today'." She huffed, rolling her eyes as she ran her hand across his arm. "Did it hurt?"
"Just a bit."
"Sorry."
Regina was busy in the kitchen when she heard him coming down the stairs, she ran her hands over her face and turned to see him watching her from the door with a smirk on his face. "Feeling bad?" He asked.
"How did you guess?" She sighed.
"You've got that expression on your face." He chuckled walking further into the room and putting his arms around her. "I don't mind you know."
"What that I shot you?"
"I can't think of anyone I'd rather be shot by."
"Are you insane?" She rose her eyebrows at him.
"Probably." He sniggered, kissing her. "You make me that way."
"I am sorry for shooting you." She frowned, running her hand over where the wound had been.
"Yes, I know, quit apologising, you healed me, I'm fine."
"Yes you are and you're mine." She pecked his lips briefly, "all mine."
"Hmm, but if you think I'm letting you anywhere near a bow and arrow again, you have another thought coming."
"You have nothing to worry about there." She smiled, attaching her lips to his again. "I don't want to see another bow and arrow again."
"Good." He chuckled, running his fingers over her cheek.
"Robin?"
"Yes."
"Sorry I shot you."
"No problem."
