We all have our inner demons that we fight, but what happens when the past comes rushing back and life falls apart as it comes back together all at once? Alternate Universe. Alcoholism/Recovery. Non-Magical. Slow Burn. SwanQueen is Endgame

The Proposal AU. When Regina finds out she's about to be deported, she blackmails her assistant Emma into pretending to be her fiancée.

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!"

Regina Mills is in the midst of a midlife crisis where she finds herself doing the same things every day. After creating a bucket list, her best friend of twenty years, Emma Swan, seeks to help her complete the list, though they both cross off more than they expected.

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.
