teaching (about love) by DelicatePoem
Summary:
“So we thought we could expand that project this year. Since you gave the idea, Emma, we’re adding you to the group. I’d also like to invite Regina—” and here Emma’s heart skips several beats, because surely she heard it wrong— “to go as well, being the 9th grade English and Spanish teacher.” Mary Margaret grins like she’s created the best idea in the universe. Emma wants to jump out of the window, and for the first time since she started working here, she feels Regina is on the same wavelength, even as far apart as they are now.

Or: Regina and Emma are teachers. Who kind of hate each other. And now they have to plan a field trip… together.

You Made Your Mark on Me (a Golden Tattoo) by Angeii_K
Summary:
When Emma signed up to work as actress Regina Mills’ bodyguard, neither of them thought that what was supposed to be a temporary gig would result in one of the closest relationships of their lives—or that a few days spent rooming together at a convention would change their dynamic forever, transforming their simple intimacy into something new and life-altering.

Or: The actress/bodyguard AU where Emma shows Regina the true freedom of submission.

It’s here! BILYFI is here! A canon divergence rewrite of season. Didn’t quite get all the editing done towards the end, but the story is finished enough for it to be enjoyed. Be sure to check out @iforgotagainoops.bsky.social who’s video inspired the fic. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it.

where love goes to die by sssammich
Summary:
""Do you know if love can happen again to a person?""

""I don't. That's not really my jurisdiction. But if you were to ask me if you, specifically, will find love again. Then yeah, I'd say so.""

""How can you possibly know that?""

""People who have that much love to give will always find a place to put it. Even if it doesn't feel like it right now.""

""You don't know me.""

""I think you'll find that I kinda do.""

Inevitable by Butimachrldr2
Summary:
Two parallel universes, in one Hook lived, in the other Robin did. One woman is depressed and the other is torn between two loves. Snow organizes a marriage to cheer everyone up, instead it sends Emma and Regina into each other’s arms. They aren’t strong enough to stop the vows but also aren't’ strong enough to stop being drawn together, until something breaks and in each universe they make that call…

Because I Love You For Infinity by divergentmisfit
Summary:
Set in Season Four, tensions rise in Storybrooke when Hook and Emma return from the past with a random woman, who turned out to be Robin Hood's wife. Robin has to make a choice - Stay with Regina, or rekindle his marriage with his wife.

Emma can’t stand that she's hurt Regina and is willing to do whatever it takes to make it up to her.
Convinced that Robin has chosen the wrong woman, Regina hatches a plan to fake date Emma to show Robin what he's giving up by not choosing her. The plan was going great, until it backfired, as both women found themselves secretly mutually yearning for one another.

Take me (for a second, a spell, a lifetime) by Shadowdianne
Summary:
Following the events of 3x22 the solstice is quickly approaching and Snow feels like they could do with a fuller table and as many family members as possible. The only problem being, of course, that for that a one-to-one invitation must be given.

----

""Who else?"" Emma blinked, lost. Regina prodded, magicking two spoons into their drink and lazily moving hers counterclockwise. ""Who else was invited.""

----

Or, pride is their particular sin as well as stubborness.

spellbound by cinnonyms
Summary:
“Well,” Regina says, “of course sex does not equal sex. And we don’t know for which kind of sex the spell is primed.”

Yep, definitely relishing it.

There’s a pause. Then, slowly, Regina adds: “It does make one wonder, doesn’t it? Scientifically speaking.”

Or, Emma and Regina conduct a very scientific experiment in order to determine what counts as sex.

A crackfic that escalated.

True loves…touch? by oblivcns
Summary:
A new curse threatens to wipe Storybrooke out and send its residents to the Enchanted Forest. The only problem with that is Henry was born in the land without magic, leaving them with the possibility he won’t follow them. A true act of love is the only thing that can save them, and it can’t come from Snow and Charming.

Love, Emma by alyssa_gibson
Summary:
Emma Swan is fine. Really. She’s just accidentally bought five Christmas cards for Regina Mills because none of them say what she actually means, not without giving too much away. It’s Christmas in Storybrooke, everyone else is festive and functional, and Emma is stuck rewriting the same feelings she’s never managed to say out loud.

Summary:
After wandering off, Henry finds himself lost in the grocery store. He gets help from a nearby worker, Emma. She returns him to his mother, who happens to be Mayor Mills. Emma's new in town, so she's easily intimidated by her high status. However, despite the intimidation factor, she finds Regina to be quite attractive. They invite Emma to go ice skating and she accepts, wondering where this relationship will go.

Summary:
“Swan, we have never been on a date.” She ripped away some of the aluminum foil.

“No, I’m not.” Regina sighs, “In fact, I’ve never been on one.”

as beautiful now as i thought you were then by celaenos
Summary:
There are rumors that Regina has come out of retirement, though. She might be at either of the upcoming Grand Prix or World's competitions. She'll almost definitely qualify for the 2026 Olympics. If she can skate even half as well as she could before she had her baby, then she is a shoe in. Especially with the infamous Cora Mills as her coach.

Which makes one less spot for Emma.

She hits replay on the video, again, and again, and again until she falls asleep.
