SwanQueen AU. After almost a decade, Regina decides today is the day she leaves her abusive husband. Taking her son, she heads to New York and finds a shelter for domestic abuse victims. They're safe. No one knows them here. Except... "Regina Mills?" It takes Regina a few seconds to recognise the blonde now standing before her. "Emma Swan." Rated M for Chapter 29.

Set in season one. Henry has chosen Emma over Regina leaving her all alone once again. That is until Archie gives Regina a little girl to foster. But with her blond hair and brown eyes, the question of where she came from is a question Regina knows the answer to. SwanQueen end game.
