This and all these other things.

Emma/August.

1. Angst [2x05] :

He is really good at lying...

Especially when this is about lying to himself.

It doesn't hurt me, not at all, that she found someone else to take care of her.

It's not like what I tried to do ever worked...

It's not like I didn't abandon her...

Excuse me Emma.

I am so sorry.

2. AU :

This queen who was not really one anymore had no idea of what would soon fall on her...

3. Crack!Fic [S4] :

"So, Emma said to Gold, if I understand everything, you had the ability to make August be an adult again, and this, since a lot of time... And you do it just now ? Why didn't you do it sooner for fuck's sake !

- Because I am a bastard ? The Dark One answered.

- Hum... yep... That's true... But it's not true for the previous seasons, right ?

- Indeed..."

4. Crossover [S2. HP] :

Blue tells her that magic can't fix this problem, and sincerely, Emma wants to tell her to fuck off.

Them, they will have a way.

5. First Time :

She had such sad eyes, he figured out as he saw her again, recognizing the orphan she was once and that he couldn't succeed to protect.

6. Fluff :

Hadn't Gold been such a monster, Emma would have almost thanked him for making Pinocchio become August again and so she would have him finally back to her...

7. Humor :

"So, the spell continues to make you turn into wood even though you're trying to make what is right...

- Yep...

- Logic..."

8. Hurt/Comfort :

She wished she wasn't forced to look at Gepetto in the eyes, she wished she didn't have to explain to him that, if his son was a puppet again, it was because she just couldn't succeed to believe in magic in time.

9. Smut :

Neal would surely punch him in the face if he knew...

10. UST :

I love you.

It's already too late, of course.
