Summary
Emma almost has everything. She's got a wonderful son, a beautiful, tender friend and co-parent, and a family she can count on. It was all she ever dreamed of, once upon a time. At times, she thinks she finally understands what authors mean when they end their story with: they lived happily ever after.
But the feeling always leaves her by the morning. Sometimes she thinks her real happy ending has disappeared somewhere in the past, somewhere in between the curses and forgotten memories. And now it is only a possibility lost to her memories.
If she could go back...
(or in other words, season 6 emma goes back in time and accidentally makes season 1 regina fall in love with her.)

Summary
The sheriff station had taken on a strange stillness after dark—a kind of unnatural quiet, like a hospital hallway just after visiting hours. The overhead lights buzzed faintly, sterile and cold, one of them flickering with a rhythm that made Emma want to break it just to end the cycle.
She sat at her desk, back hunched, fingers stained faintly with ink and god knows what from a rushed fast food dinner she hadn’t finished. The fries had gone cold. The burger sat, untouched, in its greasy wrapper. Her stomach had given up protesting a few hours ago. Or maybe longer. Time had started bending.
Her head throbbed—low and deep, like a bruise forming behind her eyes. Her throat scratched every time she swallowed, but she chalked it up to the dry air or stress or the fact that she hadn’t slept more than four hours in the past three nights. Maybe five. Maybe two.
Everything blurred at the edges.

Summary
When Hermione Granger's magic violently awakens in the summer before her fifth year, she discovers that ancient powers long thought extinct still flow through certain bloodlines. Under the tutelage of her professors, she struggles to master abilities that blur the line between divine and mortal. But as war looms and alliances shift, Hermione must confront an impossible choice: surrender to the crushing weight of expectations or embrace a destiny that threatens to consume everything she holds dear. Yet in the shadows lurks a more ancient threat than Voldemort himself—one who has waited centuries to reclaim what was divinely given and will burn the world to possess it.

Summary
She said his name like a plea, and the desperation hadn’t come from the stoic, calm Olivia Benson Amanda had known for half her career. It had been nothing less than a prayer, a call to someone or something that could hear her.
