    Summary

    Emma Swan’s Quidditch career, despite her brief and remarkable stint with the US national team, went nowhere. Hired as the coach of the hapless Storybrooke Sirens by none other than the Regina Mills (also known as the Evil Queen in certain quarters), Emma is expected to perform a miracle – or at least, ensure that the Sirens don’t end up at the bottom of the league yet again. It doesn’t help that she and Regina really don’t see eye to eye on most things, or that Regina Mills is really attractive.

    The story of a ragtag team of underdogs, two women with pasts to atone for, and a fairytale.

    Summary

    “Not a morning person, huh?” Korra asks, and before Lin can confirm all claims by vehemently denying them, Korra's repositioned herself, propped up on one elbow, leaning down to press a poorly aimed kiss against the corner of her mouth. “Don't sweat it! We'll just stay here until noon comes and goes.”

    Summary

    “I wasn’t actually out on patrol,” he tells her, still panting. “I followed you here.”

    “What? Why? ” Emma asks him. There’s a long pause where the boy seems to deflate. It’s like all his swagger disappears, and what’s left is a timid, impossibly young kid. Her heart races and she doesn’t know why.

    “My name is Henry Mills,” the kid says eventually. Emma actually does stop breathing then. “I’m your son.”

    (Or, how Emma Swan met Henry Mills, and re-connected with his other mother. It's complicated.)

    Summary

    “I’m here because... I think my kid is having some kind of delusional breakdown because he can’t cope with the fact that ... Mayor Mills and I split up.”

    Dr. Hopper pushes his glasses up his nose in a measured movement. “What makes you think that?”

    “Well, among other things, he thinks his mother is about to cut Mary Margaret Blanchard’s heart out of her chest, before pulverizing it and sending her into a coma that only her true love can rescue her from.”

    [AU; here, 'fairy tale land' is merely a product of Henry's imagination during a difficult time.]

    Summary

    The Hatter hadn’t been able to cope with two co-existing realities, and she’d thought him weak. This third may be the thing to finally break her mind in half; like an egg cracking on the side of a prep bowl, with everything sacred to her just dribbling out all over the place.

    [Part 2 of a 3-part post-curse AU that mostly ignores Season 2 developments; see the notes for details.]
