You do not have to walk on your knees - Once Upon A Time ; Emma/Regina ; 3100 words ; Part 1 of 3.
Regina and redemption, take two. It goes better this time. (Featuring Emma drowning her sorrows in Adele, Regina exploding bowls of ice cream, Henry pretending he doesn't know what a parent trap is, lots of regret and quiet yearning, and Captain Hook showing up just long enough to be the worst. Also, magic.)
Author's Note: This is a fairly cracky but also entirely too heartfelt vision of how I would like the Swan Queen-y rest of the season to go, and as soon as possible. I just have so many Henry Has Two Mommies feelings that a thousand, thousand listens to Adele’s “Someone Like You” could not provide me with emotional catharsis.
I’m often really curious about how an “Emma and Regina learn to get along!” storyline would actually go on the show itself, so this is more a relationship study than a straight up romance. As a result, it’s entirely lacking in the sexytimes, but I hope that the general feels and introspection make up for it. :)
This is the first of three parts, and if you have ever experienced one of my chapter fics before, you will be relieved to know that the rest of it is written already, so I promise it won't get abandoned this time. It's just that this got much longer than I expected it to. Brevity and Swan Queen just don't mix in my world!
( 1. a hundred miles through the desert, repenting )
