Summary
Global Pop/Rock sensation Emma Swan disappears mid-tour, vanishing from the screaming crowds and suffocating spotlight. Armed with dyed hair, a slouchy cap, and a borrowed name, she retreats to the coastal stillness of Storybrooke, a town where anonymity comes easy, but healing does not.
Regina Mills, the town’s sharp-eyed mayor, doesn’t buy Emma’s “just passing through” act. As the two women navigate tension-filled coffees, awkward silences, and unexpected truths, Emma begins to write again, not for fame, but for the woman who sees right through her disguise.
This is the story of a runaway star and the mayor who taught her how to stay.

Summary
NOW COMPLETE! Henry Mills has grown up, but he's not the boy we remember. Somewhere between the day when his moms took him to college and the night when we meet him again ten years later, he fell in love, had a child and oh, lost his family completely due to a new curse which appears to have destroyed Storybrooke. After spending a decade trying to find his home and his mothers again, he's just about lost hope until one night when he finds Regina inexplicably working as a waitress in a diner not far from where he lives. The only problem is, Regina thinks she's a woman named Elizabeth Carson - a cursed personality radically different from her actual one. Determined to bring his mother back to who she actually is, he begins a perilous mission which will see Regina and Emma reunited, their love for each other tested, and all of their lives changed as each of them is forced to face the demons of their past and present in order to save each other, their family and their home.

Summary
"You’ve changed.”
“And who says Emma can’t? Why does everyone assume she can’t come back from this? I’m not giving up on her.”, Regina said passionately.
“What you’re doing is dangerous, Regina. Eventually she will be the one to hurt you, the Dark One’s always do."CW: one chapter has a selfharm scene in it which can be skipped, I'll be adding a trigger warning with the chapter and inside the chapter as well
