Summary
My first submission for Swan Queen Week (August 2016). This one takes place just after they returned from the Underworld, after Robin has died but before his funeral. I took the liberty of assuming a couple of days would pass between those two events.
What happens when Regina realizes that Robin might not have been her last chance at love? And what will she do when Emma, distraught after leaving Hook behind, arrives at her door in the middle of the night begging for help?"Regina Mills had, somewhere along her twisted path, fallen in love with the very woman she'd thought was meant to break her. So now she stood alone, as she had been so many times in her life, staring out at the moon with only her own arms to comfort her.
A frantic knocking shattered the silence of the pre-dawn morning, echoing throughout the mansion."

Summary
This one is for the "Travel" prompt, and it's a fun little story about what happens when Regina surprises Emma with a trip back to her old haunts of Boston and New York. It takes place some time down the line from where the show is at now, with everything all resolved as far as the Evil Queen being back and such.
"Well the drive to Boston had certainly been interesting...at least that was one word for it. First there were the three trips back to her parent's to pick up "essentials" that Snow was just certain they would both need and couldn't possibly have remembered to pack for themselves ("But Emma, you never know what could happen out there! Did you pack a first aid kit?", "Emma I forgot to give you the cell phones I bought for you both. Yes, I know you already have phones but what if you lose them? How will you get in touch if you need us??" "Emma did you pack the pictures of us? How about the map? Well how do you expect anyone to find us if you end up in an accident, or in the hospital? Don't you 'Mom' me in that tone!"). When they finally left Snow for the last time, Emma wasn't sure whether she or Regina was more likely to fireball her cell phone if it so much as dared to vibrate one more time."

Summary
"No." The certainty of that one word left no room for argument. "I was never driven enough for my mother, never kind enough for my father, never vicious enough for Rumple, never nurturing enough for Snow, never refined enough for Leopold, never loving enough for Henry," a humorless laugh interrupting the endless list of failings, "I was never even evil enough to achieve my vengeance. And now I'm not good enough for a happy ending."

Summary
This is just a little one-shot dealing with Emma finding out that Regina had a hysterectomy. It's mostly fluffy and sweet, just a moment of love and caring between our two favorite ladies. Established Swan Queen. I'm rating it as General Audiences because, though they are both technically naked and in bed together, nothing even remotely sexual happens...so, yeah...Teen and up seemed a bit much.

"It had been less than 24 hours since "You thought we were friends?" and "I don't want to kill you." and now here she was, flat on her back on the velour chaise in her vault, the Savior sprawled across her. This was not how she saw things proceeding, not in the slightest. "

Summary
"And then it was the way her cheek felt when your fist connected with it, jogging a memory not all-together yours of another hit from years before. It was the hurt in her eyes as she stumbled backwards, tripping over her own feet and landing hard on her back. It was your voice screaming,
'Get the hell away from me Emma!' "Takes place after the season 5 finale and the Evil Queen being split from Regina.

Summary
Set the night after Emma and Henry return from their year in New York during Pan's curse.
"There were hands on her face, so soft, finger tracing along her features, running her cheekbones then up across her forehead, a thumb sliding along her eyebrow before slowly making its way back down to her jaw line. There were eyes staring at her, green and blue dancing together in irises sparkling with moisture, their gaze tracking the movements of the fingers, longing and wonder and a care deeper than she'd ever seen aimed her way shining from their depths."Series
