Regina use to baby sit Emma, and Emma had the biggest crush on Regina. But Regina ended up moving and they lost contact with each other. 10 years later they meet again.. and Regina is Emma's college professor.

A/U: Emma starts work at the local hardware store and finds out the woman who caught her eye is her new boss. Regina seems to be happy and is engaged with a son but the more time they spend together, the more Regina finds Emma is filling a void she didn't realize was there. Fic will cover several years. Multi-chapter, slow building of relationship, but definitely SQ! Rating change.

AU. Regina is deaf. Emma is the only one who refuses to give her pity. In response, Regina is thrilled by this new challenge and the stand-offs commence, but over time she finds out there is more to the blonde woman than just a target to throw a stinging quip and pointed glare at.

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.

"She doesn't even remember her family! How am I going to explain this to her when she hates me!" She was falling apart now. The way the women in the other room had just looked at her, with such disdain. That wasn't her wife. That was the Mayor, the Evil Queen maybe…but not her wife. (story re-edited 5-15-18)

Regina runs a mirror shop in Boston. Emma comes by one day. A love story about the two women we adore so much. SwanQueen AU. Rated M for language, reference to rape/violence and smut in later chapters.
