I've never posted anything before, but I needed to explore some of the WayHaught feelings in the last episode. Even though there was very little interaction between the two (less than a minute, really), that little time carried so many feelings. This story just holds a few glimpses of what I think happened.

A night of passion between Regina and Emma ends up turning into an opportunity for the two of them to discuss the traumas of their sexual pasts and to then set boundaries in their still very young romantic relationship with each other. SQ all the way.

Though things are good for Regina and Emma, the ghosts of their damaged pasts still lurk as they maneuver the holidays - two women both wondering if they will ever be enough for anyone or anything. Mix a little self-doubt, some fairy dust poisoning, a lot of family and a Santa suit and things get crazy. Established SQ - some angst, some reflection and some...uh, love. 6-parter.

Fifth in my series of Cophine stories exploring their relationship in the moments and scenes that take place once the cameras stop rolling. Cosima and Delphine go on a road trip, of sorts. Just a little mostly (... mostly) lighthearted interval before the anvils and hammers start flying again. Takes place starting almost immediately after their last scene in s02e05.

Loosely inspired by the song "Hello Goodbye" by Red Molly. Just a little fun.

"If an Evil Queen like Mom can find redemption and love, and if a Savior who has fallen as much as Ma has can open up her heart again and forgive not only others but herself, well then anything is possible, and he has to believe that that means that the two of them finding a way to make this love story of theirs work is possible, too." SQ established. Swan-Mills Family.

It's just sex, right? It's not actually a thing. After the devastation of her reign as the Dark One has ended and about six months after suffering another heartbreaking loss, Emma finds herself in the middle of a passionate love affair with Regina. Problem is, she's too scared of losing Regina to be willing to call it love. That is until life steps in. Established SQ. Now complete.

Bo and Lauren receive some surprising gifts via an interdimensional portal.

Emma and Regina are reunited at last, but at what cost? And with a scheming witch from Regina's past targeting her and mysteries and manipulations unraveling around them, only one thing is clear: not everyone will survive this with their hearts intact.

Peggy's a spy. She can't just come out and says she loves Angie. She has to do it in code like an idiot.

Second in my series of Cophine stories exploring their relationship in the moments and scenes that take place once the cameras stop rolling. Set somewhere in the short happy time between s01e08 and just before the shit hits the fan in s01e09. Feedback as always is greatly appreciated!

First in my series of Cophine stories exploring their relationship in the moments and scenes that take place once the cameras stop rolling. Following and expanding on their scenes in s01e08, there are a few revelations, a lot of sex and a minor crisis of conscience within. Fortunately for Delphine, Cosima's love is better than ice cream. Feedback as always is greatly appreciated!

Regina's gut twisted with an agonizing pull and, for just a moment, she thought she might need to take up the same position as the woman crouched before her. "You're pregnant?" she whispered grimly. Emma's only response was to turn and retch into the toilet again. — Swan Queen, magic!pregnancy

In one realm, Regina struggles to hold onto her son and make peace with her past. In another, Emma struggles. An interlude after Hearts Left Bleeding spanning the years until they meet again.

Shaw is good at anger.

The Machine is on the cusp of bringing Samaritan down. Root is also reaching what she feels is the end, just as Shaw starts to think she might want a beginning. Angsty Root is angsty and Shaw responds like, well, Shaw. Rating K now for language, might change later.

I've always wondered what might have happened if Lauren had leveled with Bo instead of sleeping with her in "Vexed." I think this would make for boring TV, but it was satisfying to write.

The lives I'll never lead / Couldn't make me sing / Could they? Could they? Could they? / As soon as she had stepped through the doorway, the door closed tightly. And only then, with Regina inside, did the lines, curves, and swirls shift and move, assembling themselves into words within the heart. 'The Road You Didn't Take'

And, okay, so maybe inviting Brittany Pierce-the blonde, spunky, perfect host of Animal Planet's most popular wildlife conservation show-to Africa to film an animal which may or may not even exist is the new stupidest thing that Santana Lopez has ever done, but, really, can you blame her? One-shot.

AU Maura and Jane meet in high school, but get separated. Follows them when they meet and then as they reconnect after years apart. Ch. 1-20 are T, 21 onward is M. (this story has adult themes, sexual content, and of course, rizzles)

Feeling like their friendship isn't as strong as it once was, Maura realizes she not only wants to close that distance but she wants even more. She devises a plan she thinks will bring her and Jane even closer together.

What would happen if there wasn't a curse and the roles had been reversed? An AU story that tries to answer that very question.

What they had was complicated, but that didn't mean either of them would ever let it go.
