Summary
For two weeks, there’s nothing.
In her obliviousness, she dismisses the few petals as a one-time thing; a two-time thing, even. A figment of her imagination perhaps, if she tries hard enough.
(It’s the simmering calm before a raging thunderstorm, she will realize later, a bit further down the road.)
or, the hanahaki disease fic. set on s5. the underworld happens, but hook stays dead and robin lives. a week after they all get back to storybrooke, emma coughs up a flower petal.

Summary
That voice is not one Regina ever thought she would hear again. She has imagined it so many times over the years—she must simply be imagining it, now. That has to be it. Regina goes absolutely still, like prey. A primal instinct she hasn’t felt from herself since Mother was alive. Beside her, Henry grabs at her arm. “Okay, Mom, don’t be mad, please—” he quickly whispers.
Before Regina can strangle her son, or move, or run out of the cabin, Emma Swan walks into the room and jolts to a stop at the sight of them. “Oh,” she breathes out. “Fuck.”

Summary
“He’s happy,” Emma repeats, like it’s a mantra.
“You did that,” Mary Margaret tells her. “You gave him that, Emma. You know that, right?”
Regina is the only one sitting directly next to Emma, which is probably why she’s the only one who catches the way her shoulders tense, just a little. “I know.”

Set five years in the future, in a peaceful Storybrooke where Regina is still Mayor, Henry is looking at college prospectuses, and Emma and Hook are expecting a baby. Everyone's got their happy ending; haven't they?- Language:

Summary
Henry brings Emma home. Regina says you’re Henry’s birth mother? and Emma says hi and then Regina says I’m Regina Mills and Emma stumbles back against the pillar on the porch and tucks her wrist against her. She says shakily, Emma Swan, and there’s the slightest flicker of recognition in Regina’s eyes.
She wonders, at first…
Regina wears heavy bracelets and pays Emma as little attention as she can while also keeping Henry from her. She sees Emma from her window on one of the first days in Storybrooke, her hands outstretched as she takes a chainsaw to Regina’s precious apple tree, and the first thing Regina notices is her name scrawled across Emma’s wrist.
Of course. Of course.

Summary
“you hire me to be the worst date possible to your sister’s wedding to aggravate your mother and keep her from meddling in your love life” AU
"My sister, Zelena," she spits out the name like it's poison, "Is getting married this weekend in California. My mother is potentially the biggest pain in the ass when it comes to who I take in as lovers. I need someone who will aggravate her to no end and keep her from meddling in the future."
Emma blinks. "Why me?"
"My mother hates blondes."
"Oh," Emma says slowly, and god. She gets the feeling she's signed herself up for one fucked up family reunion. "Cool."

“She was about to be killed,” Rhaenyra cuts in, quick.
“That’s your excuse? You could have called for a guard. Kept your distance. But you didn’t.” Daemon’s voice dips, almost amused. “You put your hands on her like—” He breaks off with a low laugh. “Seven hells, Rhaenyra.”

the lesser-known island of lesbros (or how zelena mills got her groove back) by coalitiongirl

Summary
Zelena twists around again to gape at Emma, who is staring at the woman with the same intensity. With familiar intensity, and Emma turns her head very slowly and catches Zelena’s eyes. “No,” Emma says, but it’s too late.
Like recognizes like. Painfully straight Emma Swan, who has a dozen men chasing her at all times, from the way that Regina tells it, is gay. And it suddenly all makes sense.
“You have the hots for my sister!” Zelena says, maliciously delighted. “How embarrassing.”

Summary
Steve suggested they just enjoy the time anyway, reminding her that they could be tracking weapons shipments through African jungles or taking gunfire in Eastern Europe instead of going to mediation hour and sipping green smoothies with rich assholes from the Hamptons.
That sounded great. At first.
Until someone from her past ran into them in the lobby of the couple’s retreat they’d been sent to.
