Her favourite author just bought her a drink? Shut. The. Front. Door. What if Castle and Beckett met five years earlier?

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

"I have hated you, liked you, loathed you and loved you, but not once have I thought you not to be a fool." Regina takes pity on the Sheriff when she finds her out in the storm; inviting her inside to escape its wrath. What starts as an aggressive game of sexual one-upmanship slowly evolves into something a little deeper; perhaps even a liking for one another...

If friendship is the key to happiness, then Emma and Regina are well on their way to their Happy Ever After. Pre-SQ, possible multi-chapter fic in future but will remain a one!shot for now.

It's been five years since they settled their differences. "No, it was time to stop playing it safe this year. It was also time to put her plan in action, Operation Swan Queen, Henry had named it. Fairly obvious and straight to the point. She had put it off for months since she came to the realization that her affection for Emma was far more than just because they were friends."

How one woman, let alone two, could find Robin Hood in the least bit attractive Emma didn't think she'd ever understand. "Handsome, isn't he?" Make that three women. "If your type is someone with irritable bowel syndrome, sure."

Bike messenger AU, in which Regina is a CEO that enjoys messing with Emma, and Emma does not back down. For the sake of her job, of course, and not because of the way Regina eyes light up when she's angry. Shameless fluff for 90% of this fic, though warnings for discussions of abuse, racism (and sexism), and negative foster care experiences. Specific warnings precede each chapter.

This is the sequel to Over the Rainbow. In search of a little rest and relaxation, Alice portal hops to Storybrook and finds a bit of an adventure instead. How will Emma and Regina keep a handle on their friend, their town, and the new mysterious arrival that seems to have everyone, including Alice, on edge? SwanQueen and maybe a little something extra.

A young boy makes a wish upon a star one lonely night for his mother to find her one true love, but little does he know, the woman who gave him up for adoption just so happens to be the One True Love his mother had unknowingly been searching for all her life…and life takes a turn nobody ever expects...

*Sequel to "We'll Always Have Storybrooke."* Now that Regina and Emma realize they're True Loves, life only gets more complicated. Between strained relationships and crazy twists and turns, the Queen & the Savior have their work cut out for them. As always, the only way they can survive it is together.

A single act of indiscretion during Emma's bachelorette party in Mexico leads to major consequences and revelations for Regina. SQ with a lil bit of CS. But NOT for a CS fan.

One-shot or alternate ending to Ch6 of Without the Darkness. Set S3. Emma has no memory of the life she shared with Regina before Pan's curse. When she stumbles into Storybrooke, she feels an instant pull to the pregnant mayor. While stuck at her mansion during a blizzard, some of those lost memories surface. Requested by ajm85. Unapologetic smut. SwanQueen.

Fourth in the series. Sequel to "Neverland in Your Arms" but can be read as a standalone, though at this point reading at least NLIYA would help. Takes place during the second half of S3. Emma has lost all memory of her true love but continues to feel her and catch glimpses of memories of what she lost. Explicit sex, family, angst... you should understand my sadomasochism by now.

After a freak accident causes Regina to believe that she's still the Evil Queen from her Enchanted Forest days, Emma finds herself facing off against her all while trying to protect her family and convince Regina that this isn't the woman that she wants to be. Established SQ.

Destiny. That's what the Dark One tells them, an odd strain on his face whenever he speaks to Regina. That's what they're facing here. An inevitable ending. Regina has orchestrated her death once, and she'll do it again, because that's the only way this story can end. No one can interfere, not even Marian herself, and only Regina can control whether or not that moment is it.

Regina decides to make amends after upsetting the Savior. What she doesn't realise is that in doing so, she finds the key to Emma's heart – food. Takes place after they return from Neverland.

Starts at end of S2, sequel to "Break Yourself Against my Stones." But can be read as a standalone. Will include all the normal characters, except Ruby goes instead of Gold. Rated M for language, explicit sex between SQ and RB, maybe some torture. My version of how S3 (part 1) should have gone. Romance, angst, adventure, family, and lots of cursing and laughter.

When Emma is pulled from her happy life in New York to help save her family in the Enchanted Forest, she embarks on a journey to Camelot with Regina, Snow, and Henry to find Merlin's Twin Blades and stop a deadly threat. But a single savior cannot wield two swords and as their quest unfolds Emma and Regina begin to discover just how much more powerful they are together than apart.

Set after 3b in a peaceful Storybrooke where Regina is with Robin and Emma's fallen into a relationship with Hook. Shame about all that subtext that's rapidly threatening to become text.

Set during season 2. Mary Margaret and David get sucked into the portal instead of Emma. Emma agrees to protect Regina from the citizens of Storybrooke as long as she agrees to help her get her parents back, and finds an unexpected friend and ally in the mayor. Will eventually be SQ. Rated M for sexual violence, torture, and eventually explicit consensual sex between two women.

AU Every night when Queen Emma falls asleep she becomes Emma Swan, or is it the other way around? When she meets beautiful Regina in both worlds simultaneously, she begins to question all she's ever believed.

Emma and Regina find themselves in a series of situations that pull them together, despite them being adamant they do not like one another it because increasingly difficult to stay apart.

Yeah, so maybe Emma should get sick more often, because she's kind of enjoying it. Minus the gallons of tea Regina's pouring down her throat, of course.

Based loosely off the concept from What Happens In Vegas. Always competing, Emma and Regina find themselves getting just a bit carried away one night. In the morning both are shocked to find their situation has changed and in a town with magic, not everything is so easily fixed. The two suddenly have to find some way to get along before one does't make it out alive.

Emma Swan works hard every night as a bartender, struggling to raise her son and save up enough to own her own bar. Regina Mills is an upper class New York photographer who wouldn't normally spare a second glance at people below her. When their paths cross, their lives adapt to each other, but how much are they willing to change?

Regina could still smell her cologne and feel the cheap pleather pressing into her back. The brunette sucked in a breath. She was still lying on the floor at the staircase's base and she stared back up at it. Everything was different now. Changed. She felt broken by what had just happened, appalled and enraged, dirty. WARNING: NC17 for non-consensual sex. Dark. (But gets lighter.)

S6 opening fic. Mild spoilers. "Javi, I can't come back. I have my work here and…" she sighs, lowering her voice. "We agreed on a break. I just—It's too soon," she tells him, embarrassed to admit what a screw-up she's made of everything; the fairytale romance so many people were gambling their happy ending on turned to ordinary shit by her hand.'

Watershed. Bridge fic between seasons 5 and 6. "It's who you are. You don't let people in. I've had to scratch and claw for every inch."

"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•

Of course he believes it's real. He's - well, he's him. Magic and curses and zombie apocalypses are right up his alley. *An insert of sorts for 5x17, vague spoilers* Now a two shot. Complete.

Making the call might just have been one of the best decisions of his life, he thought, as he stared at his phone again like he had been for the past five days. (AU from the S2 finale.)

Ruby makes Emma a dating profile. The only catch is that she's listed as a guy. That wouldn't be such a problem if Emma hadn't found Regina's profile and begins communicating with the Mayor

"Harder still to ignore was the way Emma practically tripped over herself in her mad dash to the crumpled form, throwing her self down at Regina's side.
