A tale of political intrigue, scheming enemies, new friends, and new love brings an entirely new dynamic to Storybrooke. Set in Season 2, this is a WIP Slowburn with lots of plot. A new civil war is brewing. The small town in Maine is being pulled apart at the seams. Emma, Regina, Henry, and others fight to save their homes and new love. SQ, RB, SW.

Teenage versions of Emma and Regina appear in Storybrooke and to everyone's surprise the girls hit it off immediately... "We have to stop this, Emma. She can't fall in love with the younger you. She has to meet Daniel and fall in love with him - his death starts it all. Or otherwise, Regina won't grow up to cast the curse, Storybrooke won't exist... and Henry will never be born!"

Emma had fallen in love with a woman that didn't really exist. Regina, her Regina… she wasn't real. It had all been a lie. •Emma/Regina• SEQUEL TO 'OF LOVE AND LOATHING' - HIATUS

Single-girl anxieties cause Emma Swan to ask her ask college professor Regina Mills to be her date for the weekend. Her plan, attempting to fool everyone in Storybrooke that have been dating for a while, proves to be her undoing. This is a different take on how Emma and Regina met and came to Storybrooke.

AU. Post-curse. "It's the sixth of October. A pivotal moment in Storybrooke's history and the turning point in Regina Mills' life. And it all began with a spell, a Sheriff, and a thief." Eventual Swan Queen.

"I have been sleeping with someone," Regina began tentatively, an acute awareness that once she said the words out loud that the madness behind her highly unorthodox situation became all the more real, "whom I absolutely loathe." •Emma/Regina•

Upon Regina's banishment, the small town of Storybrooke becomes protected once again by an enchantment that prevents anyone from leaving or entering Storybrooke. Emma and Regina find themselves on the edge of the town, wishing for a way to the other side.
