After having an affair for eleven years, their whole relationship begins to shift as Emma's wedding (and Regina's divorce) approaches far too quickly. Can they continue on with what they have, put an end to things, or will they figure out before it is too late that they were meant to be together?

In an act of desperation, Regina casts a spell that takes her back to the day Henry leaves for Boston. She wants to keep Emma from ever entering Storybrooke, but when she takes Henry's place, she finds herself completely unprepared for the woman who answers the door. Regina has a chance to do it all again, but no matter what, she can't escape one fact. All magic comes with a price.

"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)

Set just after the curse breaks, Emma hunts down Regina, who is preparing to flee. Sparks will fly. Eventual Swan Queen.
