Summary
She stood on the edge, looking down at the calm water below. All the noise in her head went silent. The stress, the guilt, the finish line she could never catch up to. It all vanished. For a moment she felt as light as the wind around her. She wished she could stay in this peace forever, under its spell.
But her wish was not granted as strong hands grabbed her arm and pulled her back to the world she wanted to escape from.Or,
Sophia is struggling, stressed, and possibly suicidal. She doesn’t ask for help because she has a martyr complex that will piss everyone who loves her off.

Summary
After returning from Neverland, Emma can't fall asleep--which turns out to be a problem when life in Storybrooke refuses to just stay peaceful. Battling insomnia, an outbreak of wishes come true, and a gang full of dogs isn't at all easy without sleep. Thankfully, the cure seems to come in the form of a surly mayor and a bit of cuddling.

Or...
Where Regina Mills is quite confused as to why everyone around her seems to be offering her congratulations. It's not like she has anything to celebrate. (Right?)Published: December 13, 2022
