Cora Mills 27 x Robert (Rumplestilskin) Gold 29
 
This story does not follow the Once Upon a Time storyline. I'm only using the characters.

Cora Mills and Robert Gold were childhood lovers and had a child while at high school. When they graduated, they had plans to get married but Robert had left the country without saying a word to Cora. He was offered a scholarship which he took leaving Cora to Raise little Regina all on her own.
But now, 10 years later, Cora and Robert cross paths again...

The cover was chosen because of its symbolism. Red roses represent love and this one in particular is bleeding. Blood often represents death and sacrifice, sadness and even regret. Cora is torn between choosing long lost love or endless power knowing that there are consequences for every action.

Set after 3x11 Going Home, after Pan's curse hits. This fic ignores ANYTHING that comes after this episode. What if everyone hadn't met Zelena in the Enchanted Forest? What if everything was peaceful there, save for the absence of Henry and Emma? What if Hook hadn't needed to find Emma and give her her memories a year after she'd been in New York with Henry? What if everyone only finally found a way back to Our World six years later? When Regina travels to New York and finds Emma and her now eighteen-year-old son who, of course, both have not the slightest recollection of who she is, things turn out to be much more complicated than she'd imagined. But Regina had never expected to fall for her son's other mother after building an entirely new relationship with her..... Can Emma and Regina fall in love and build a relationship on this illusion of a perfect life? What happens if they're forced to return to Storybrooke and the truth comes out about their past? A Once Upon a Time Swanqueen fanfiction. I do not own these characters. Cover by @saltedcaramcl
