I don't know why I do this to myself lol. Someone posted a prompt on the FB SwanQueen Fanfiction group and I made a comment that I always wanted to write a Lana and Jen fic as I already have a world stuck in my head where they are together in real life. That lead to some pleading and begging and well…I can't say no haha. So, this is something new for me, so be nice. I have no idea how long it will be or what all it will entail, but as long as I get followers AND REVIEWS, I'll keep it going. Also, just because I don't want people saying anything:

This is fiction. I am purely writing from my head and not from anything I've read/seen/or heard. It's fiction. Made up. Not real. (unfortunately)

Some things I did look up, others, I just didn't include. i.e. Jen and Sebastion dating may not be in here, along with Lana and Fred. I haven't exactly decided, but again, this is fiction, so it's up to me

I don't own these character/actors/actresses; ABC owns them.

AGAIN, THIS IS FICTION. If I've said anything you perceive as "wrong" well, quite frankly, get over it. This is my world from my imagination.

Briehan, this is for you

Chapter 1

Jen parked her car in the spot reserved for her and took a deep breath. It was day one of her newest project and she had such high hopes. When Jen had first read the script, she was captivated by the writing and the idea of it. She wanted the part. Unfortunately, she didn't think she'd get it due to filming issues with her previous project, but the stars aligned and here she was. Jennifer Morrison playing the part of Emma Swan; Savior and daughter to Snow White and Prince Charming. Of course it helped that she was already friends with Josh Dallas and Ginnifer Goodwin. That was also exciting; the fact she'd get to work with her friends. She couldn't wait to work with Bobby or Robert Carlyle and rumor had it, Barbara Hershey may even make an appearance. Jennifer was stoked.

Today was just a meet and greet type day, a day for the "mains" to meet and maybe read through the script for the first episode. Jennifer already had her parts memorized but couldn't wait to see how that fit in with how others perceived their parts. She really couldn't wait to meet the woman who would be playing the Evil Queen since Madam Mayor and Emma would have some scenes in which the chemistry would have to flow. Jen honestly couldn't stop herself from thinking that the writers possibly wanted these two to have a deeper connection, but she figured she'd find out for sure later.

"You coming Jen?" A voice caused Jennifer to jump and she looked out her car window and saw Ginny.

Jen smiled and got out, locking her door before going to her friend and hugging her. "Hey! It's so great to see you again."

Ginny hugged her back. "You too, daughter." She chuckled.

"Yeah, that's kind of weird." Jen said as the two started walking towards the studio. "So, I have been trying to get you and Josh to meet for a while now, and now you finally are. I really think you two will hit it off."

"Maybe, but I'll keep it professional."

"Mhmm. We'll see." Jennifer had thought for a while that the two would be such a cute couple. She had been there for Josh through his divorce and really just wanted him happy.

"I'm sorry to hear about you and Amaury." She said, looking to Jen.

"It's okay. It was fun while it lasted. I'm here for a fresh start. Maybe I'll meet some nice Canadian and become a duel citizen." She said with a chuckle.

"Daughter! You're here!" Came a booming voice and Jen chuckled.

"Father!" She called and went to him to hug him. "Meet your wife." She said, gesturing to Ginny.

Josh took Ginny's hand and gave a small bow. "Princess Snow, it's nice to meet you."

Ginny rolled her eyes, but held her smile. "Charming. You live up to your name."

He grinned and winked at her before standing. "I think we're the first ones here."

Jen gave a nod. "Do you know anyone else? I read with Jarod and can't wait to see him play Henry, but I'm really excited to meet Lana."

"I'm excited to meet everyone." Ginny said. "But I am excited for Lana as well."

Jen looked at her paper. "Lana Pa…how do you pronounce that? " 'Parila'?"

Suddenly, Jen felt someone behind her and felt a breath in her ear. "Parrrreeeya." Was purred in her ear. Jen turned and saw a smirking brunette who took her breath away.

"You have to roll the r's. Try it. Rrrrrrrrr." She rolled her tongue. Jen swallowed and suddenly her mouth was dry. She cleared her throat and tried, but failed to roll her r's causing the brunette to chuckle. "You'll get it. Keep practicing and in the meantime, just call me Lana."

Finally, Jen found her voice and smiled. "Hi Lana. I'm Jennifer, playing the part of Emma Swan."

Lana grinned as she looked over the blonde. Of course she had heard of Jennifer Morrison, but until now, she hadn't appreciated her beauty. She looked forward to the heated scenes between the two of them even more now. "So you're the bitch who tries to take my son?" Lana gazed at her with a smirk.

"I'm not sure I try to take your son, but I do everything I can to get under your skin." Jen said, already liking this woman.

"And into her bed, apparently." Ginny whispered to Josh as the two watched the interaction. "Interesting. I've never seen this side to Jennifer."

Josh shook his head. "Me neither, but it may explain why her past relationships haven't worked out."

Lana looked to the two. "And you two whispering over there must be the Charmings." She said with a bit of a sneer. However, when she saw Ginnifer raise her brows, she chuckled. "Sorry, just getting into character. "I'm Lana; it's nice to meet you." She held her hand out. Again, she had heard of Ginnifer, but not Josh.

"Ginnifer Goodwin." The pixie haired woman said, shaking Lana's hand. "I'll be playing your stepdaughter."

This made Lana laugh and Jen decided she wanted to hear that laugh for the rest of her life. She watched Lana and though the woman was smaller built, she made up for it in personality. Jen could see how she got a role but couldn't wait to see her play the part of the Queen.

"Well, we have a few minutes before we start, so I was just heading outside to take a quick smoke with Bobby. The room is down the hall, second door on the right." Lana stated, heading towards the exit.

Jennifer had recently 'quit' smoking, but hearing where Lana was going, she wanted to go too. However, one look from Ginny told her it wouldn't go over well. Instead, she smiled. "Okay, see you later."

She watched her go and then went with Ginny and Josh to the 'break' area and grabbed some coffee. "Shit, this is good coffee. Like actual quality coffee. I won't have to stop at Starbucks much before work."

Josh chuckled. "You're right about that. Hey, are you two staying in the trailers or did you find a place nearby to rent?"

Each cast member was offered to stay in a trailer while they filmed, or could rent nearby. The trailers weren't anything to scoff at either and Jen had decided on that for now. They had a large living area, kitchen area, an area that was almost like an office, but was also good for doing make up and hair, a bathroom, and a master bedroom in the back with a smaller bedroom on the other side for guests. They were fully furnished and Jen had already claimed one for herself. The bed was bigger than any bed she'd ever slept in and couldn't wait to see how comfortable it was. "I have a trailer. I already put my name out on it." She chuckled. "But, if I decide I don't like it, I'll look around for a place to rent.

"That's my plan too. I want to get to know the area first. I got the trailer to the right of yours." Ginny said, giving Jen a smile and then looked at Josh. "And to the left of yours."

He smiled and raised his cup. "To a new start."

Lana lit up and sat down by Robert outside. He looked over at her. "I thought you were right behind me."

She gave a shrug. "Ran into some people on the way in. Do you know Jennifer Morrison?"

"I know of her but have never worked with her." He gave her a side look. "Why?"

Again, Lana shrugged. "It's just she's prettier in person."

He gave a little smile. "Ah, I see. Well, this should be interesting. I think a little sexual tension makes for great fight scenes."

Lana nudged him. "Oh stop. Sexual tension, please." She said, rolling her eyes and putting out her smoke. "Let's go or we'll be late."

"And you won't get a seat next to her." He said, putting his own smoke out and following her inside.

The three were sitting in the room around the oval table, talking with Megan and Beverly who would play Ruby and Granny respectively. Adam and Eddy came in along with others and sat down right as Lana and Robert came in as well. Lana smiled and sat next to Jennifer as the seat was open. Jen could smell the nicotine on Lana and inhaled deeply. "God I miss it." She whispered and Lana looked over.

"I need to quit." She whispered back. "Maybe you can help me." She said with a wink.

"Maybe I can." Jen answered and then stopped talking as Adam stood.

"We have a smaller crew here today. You all are who we consider the 'main' characters of the show and we thought we could just have a meet and greet, take a short break and then maybe read through some of the first script together. Get some ideas, see how we all mix and all that." Adam, Eddy, and some directors introduced themselves first and then they started around the table.

"I'm Ginnifer Goodwin and I'll be playing Mary Margaret Blanchard and Snow White."

"Josh Dallas playing Prince Charming and David Nolan"

"Jennifer Morrison and I'll be playing Emma Swan."

"Lana Parrilla," she said, rolling her r's, "I'll be playing Regina Mills and The Evil Queen."

Jen shifted in her seat. She had never been so attracted to anyone, much less a woman before. Her voice did things to her insides and she had to cross her legs under the table. Lana looked over and gave Jen the kind of smile that made her think she knew how she was affecting her.

"I'm Jared Gilmore and I'll play Henry" The young boy said with a big smile. Both Jen and Lana smiled back at him.

"I'm Meghan Ory and I'm Ruby and Red Riding Hood."

"Beverley Elliot and I'm Eugenia and Granny."

The rest made their introductions as well. They had Archie, Graham, Blue, Sydney, Rumple, and all the dwarves. They all sat and chatted for a while and laughter came easy as the group meshed well. Lane kept stealing glances at Jen and found herself liking the woman more and more.

"Okay, how about a twenty-minute break and then we'll come back and do a bit of reading?" Eddy asked and then looked at Jen and Lana. "Can you two stay here for just a couple minutes?"

The room cleared out and it was just Jen, Lana, Adam, Eddy along with director Ralph and producer and cowriter Jane. Jen chewed her lip as the writers and director talked and then looked at them. Jane took the lead.

"We have something we want to ask you. Now this, as far as we are concerned, isn't exactly mentioned in any of the scripts in season one, so if you agree, we have to portray it more by action than dialog. We haven't gotten it approved, but we want to have your two characters end up falling in love. It won't be easy, it won't be story book romance, but it will be two strong women characters finding love in the most unlikely places with the most unlikely person."

Jen smiled a little and looked at Lana. She was all for this and new that it would be groundbreaking. Sure, it was 2011 and LGBTQ+ was largely accepted, but there still wasn't much for representation on TV and she was more than willing to be someone to bring it out more. Plus, strong female characters were also needed. She looked back at Jane. "Yes, I'm all for it."

"Me too." Lana said quickly. "I can honestly tell you that I read some of their interactions like that. Sexual conflict, lingering stares, things like that."

"Yes. That's exactly what we're looking for. Season one won't have that secret come out, but we hope to have it approved by season two, meaning we want the buildup. We don't want them to be able to say no." Adam stated. "With our target audience being 18 to 35, but hoping to reach both younger and older, we want all people to be able to watch and think 'that's me'. It's why we are going to have different races and different stories all together. Snow White and Prince Charming are iconic and predictable, but The Evil Queen and The Savior? Now that is a story!"

Lana smiled and nodded. "I agree. Is there a reason this wasn't brought up in front of the others?"

"We don't want them to know." Eddy said with his own grin. "Let them figure it out. However, if it slips, it slips, that's fine. Just…try not to get it out to the public. We're not allowed to discuss it at this point." He sighed as he produced paperwork and showed them. "You're both familiar with limitations on what you can and cannot say in public and to press, correct?" Both women nodded. "Well, it now includes this possibility."

"I understand." Jennifer said, though it made her sad that she couldn't promote the show with this. "It will be fun to at least get that little flicker out there and see if a flame happens with the audience."

"There could be backlash. Be ready for that." Jane stated. "While the newer generations seem more open, that's not always the case. I think you'll be okay until it is decided what will happen. I want to prepare you that if we do put in these little hints and they don't okay it, there will be people upset. If they do okay, people will be upset. So, let's get them to love this show no matter what happens."

Lana smiled and gave a nod. "Sounds like a plan."

Lana and Jen then went out and grabbed some more coffee together. "Hey, maybe we can get together sometime and go over some scenes together? I'm not as experienced as you and I'd appreciate any help."

Jen smiled at her. "I heard you scared the crap out of them in your audition, Lana, I'm sure you'll be great. But, I'd be more than happy to go over some scenes any time. I am even more excited than I was before." She refilled her coffee. "Are you staying in a trailer?"

"For now. Actually, I nabbed the one next to yours." Lana chuckled. "I'm not sure if I'll stay there though because once I get settled in, my sister is coming and bringing my dog Lola. I hate being with out her, but I'm not sure how she'll do in a trailer. She's a border Collie mix and such a sweet girl, but she's a bigger dog and I'm a bit nervous."

Jen grinned as she added sugar to her coffee. "I'm in the same boat except my pooch is smaller. Ava is a Maltese Shih Tzu or a Malti-Shu. I wanted to be settled in first and then my brother is bringing her here. With all the woods around here, I'm sure Lola would be okay so long as she got walks and I'm sure in this quaint town, we can find someone to hire to dog walk."

Lana smiled. "I bet we can. Thanks, I didn't think of that. I'm sure Lola and Ava will be best friends in no time."

The two headed back and took their seats as the crowed in the room hushes. They started doing a read through in the first script and there was laughter all around along with some changes being made. When Lana did her first Evil Queen reading, Jen could see exactly why she got the part and once again, she had to shift in her chair.

"Great work today, team. We'll have a few more readings with the group and more in depth individually on Monday. We'll have costume fittings and run throughs and we will hopefully start filming in two weeks. If there's anything anyone needs, we're all here. You have our contact information, don't hesitate to use it."

Once the group parted, Jennifer went to her trailer and called her sister. She had so much on her mind and wanted to talk to someone she was close to.

"Wait, so you're suddenly a lesbian?" Julia asked with a chuckle.

"Julia no. I just…god I can't explain it. She's hot, but it's more than that. She's funny and nice and has so much personality. I've never felt like this about a woman before and she's a coworker. It's not like I can act on my feelings."

"Deena, she's amazing! She seems a little guarded or shy, but she's beautiful. The way her nose crinkles when she laughs and her eyes, god her eyes just sparkle."

"Lana, she's your coworker. Just be careful, okay?"

Lana sighed; she knew her sister was right. "I know. I can't do anything, but damn, she's going to be the death of me."

Jennifer had just hung up the phone when there was a knock at her door. Hoping it was Lana, she bit her lip as she answered it…and then tried not to show her disappointment when she saw Ginny and Josh. "Come on, Morrison, we're going to check out the local spots." Josh said as he came in.

Ginnifer also came in and sat down. "We thought we'd get something to eat and celebrate our first day. Meghan is coming and we're going to ask Lana as well."

That lightened Jen's mood and she agreed as she put her shoes on. "Sounds like it could be fun."

They went out just as Meghan came out of Lana's trailer with Lana behind her. "Ready?"

Lana saw Jennifer and smiled. "Hey."

"Hi." Jen said as she fell in step with her.

The group had decided to walk since they weren't too far from the center of town. Little conversations were being held, but mostly Jennifer and Lana talked to each other as the other three were a few steps ahead of them. There were a few locals who recognized mostly Jennifer and Ginny and some were brave enough to ask for autographs, which the two gave happily. They found a bar and grill to eat at and again, Lana and Jen sat together and talked.

"Okay Jen, what's your biggest fear about this project?"

Jen bit her lip as she thought. "I guess probably the same fear I always have; that I'll get too many of my migraines and they'll decide they don't want to work with me anymore."

Lana frowned a bit. "You suffer from migraines?"

"Yes. I have since I was a child and sometimes, they last for days. I've tried everything and have gone to many specialists, but so far, only sleep and a dark cold room is the only sure way to get rid of them. I have medication that does sometimes help, but it also knocks me out for hours. I told them about it and they said they understand and will work with me, but I always fear it'll be too much. I was onset of a movie once, throwing up and almost passing out, but still filming because I knew I needed to."

Lana put her hand on Jen's. "I'm so sorry to hear that. You let me know the moment you start feeling one and I'll make sure you're not on set while you're sick." Lana wished there was more she could do, so she vowed to look up alternate remedies and to call her friend who was very into homeopathic cures for different things.

"Thanks." Jen said with a smile. "What's your biggest fear?"

"That I'll fail. I'm in this show with so many established actors and sure, I've done a few not so great movies and some shows, but if this show fails, I'm sure it'll be because of me."

Jen knew that feeling and it was her turn to squeeze Lana's hand. "Hey, don't say that. Shit, just from the reading today I can tell you that the Evil Queen is going to be the most popular character on the show. You're going to be known everywhere after the first week, Lana, I just know it."

Ginny, Josh, and Meghan all watched the two from the bar and all had small smiles on their faces. Meghan turned back and ordered a round of beer before looking at Josh and Ginny. "Looks like something's brewing over there."

Ginny chuckled and shook her head. "It's funny because she's been trying to set me up with Josh for months and here she is, not even realizing how much she's flirting with Lana."

"Or how much Lana is flirting with her." Josh added. "It's nice to see though. She's had a rough time ever since the incident." He said, turning around as well.

"Incident?" Meghan asked. "You can't say that and not go into detail."

Ginnifer sighed and looked at Meghan. "Fine, but don't tell anyone. Jen had a stalker last year and it really shook her up. He had somehow gotten into her house and was waiting for her. Luckily, she was with her brother and they were able to detain him while the cops came, but she moved and has been pretty guarded. He was a die hard fan and for a while, she said she was never going to act again."

"Oh shit. I'm glad she didn't let him win. Damn, yeah I can see why she'd be guarded after that."

"She feels safer up here in Canada than she does in L.A." Josh stated as he turned and looked at his friend again. "Hell, if she's happy, that's all I care about."

Ginnifer smiled a little. "Same. As long as it doesn't ruin the show."

Meghan grabbed the beer and stood. "Oh, it'll only make it better."

The three then made their way back to the table and the connection between Jen and Lana's hands was lost.

I know this is shorter than some of my other chapters in other stories, but I'm really just trying to get a feel for this. Let me know if you like it and want more.
