    Summary

    On day one of her junior year at Boston College, Emma makes a fool out of herself in front of the most beautiful woman she’s ever seen. She tries not to dwell on it, though – after all, it’s not like the woman is going to end up teaching one of her classes.

    Summary

    One kiss starts it all. Emma Swan's life gets turned upside down after sharing a bed with Regina Mills in the Underworld, or perhaps it's been upside down all this time and the night she spends sleeping beside Regina makes Emma see things clearly for the first time in a long time.

    This story follows Emma's journey through life as she questions the meaning of kisses, searches for and finds a new home, grows closer to her family, and discovers that real love doesn't make you feel good one minute and then worthless the next.

    (or, the one where I follow a list of kiss prompts and show the development of Emma and Regina's relationship through kisses, because why not?)

    Summary

    EF AU. Based on a prompt about a fic where Regina has a penis (which I interpreted as that she'll have one for a while). It takes place about midway through The Cricket Game. Snow and Charming have imprisoned Regina after Snow decided not to go through with the execution BUT here Charming convinces Snow to leave Regina in the prison for life. When Regina escapes a new naughty tale takes form. (SwanQueen story with quick mentions of CS - but both Emma and Hook are VERY gay and are each other's beard.) Prompt by Mercluvssq/fiend89.

    Summary

    Neal's smile widens, and he kicks his legs in glee. "'Cause you're my family!" he crows, looking around the room at everyone. "And you love me."

    Regina shares a look with Emma, eyes crinkling as her smile deepens. "Of course I do," she says.

    "And you love mommy, and daddy, and Henry, and Emma, and Roland," he states, still kicking his legs.

    "Yes, dear," Regina says fondly.

    "Why aren't you married to Emma?"

    Emma chokes on air at the question, turning her head to look at the boy with wide eyes. Regina is similarly taken aback, grasping for words.
