CursedCavewoman
TW: Domestic Violence, Sexual Harm, Self-Injury, Suicidal Ideation (18+ SMUT)
Emma Swan ran from Boston with nothing but bruises she couldn't hide and a marriage she barely survived. Years of betrayal and cruelty from her serial-cheating husband, Killian Jones, taught her one thing: love can be a cage.
Storybrooke, Maine, was never part of the plan. It was just a small town that would go unnoticed and a place to disappear. But for the first time in years, Emma can breathe. Safety has a way of softening her, especially when she meets Regina Mills. There's something unspoken between them, something that feels like recognition rather than coincidence.
When the man Emma fled begins to close in, the fragile peace she's built starts to crack. Old fear resurfaces. Lines are drawn. Will she fall into Killian's traps or trust her intuition?
