(If i'm being completely honest with you, it's three am and i'm not sure what's going on here. this idea sort of just came to me and i have no idea what i'll do with it. but let me know what you think. ) *I don't own any of the characters* * Naive princess Emma is intrigued by the Evil Queen who turns out not to be so evil once she gets to know her. So she sneaks off to visit Regina often, asking billions of questions, getting to know each other while Regina pretends she's insufferable (but secretly finds her charming (ironically so)) and when she winds up pregnant the only one she wants to turn to is the supposedly "Evil" queen * things to keep in mind: • Regina still managed to cast the dark curse but it didn't really work out the way rumple had intended, time is frozen except for everyone born outside the curse and they never made it to storybrooke, they remained in the EF. •no one lost their memories because the curse wasn't full proof. So it makes things worse because everyone is very aware that they are under a spell. •since everyone didn't leave the Enchanted Forest, baelfire winds up there instead of the other way around and because it's part of the prophecy that's how Henry comes about (or so it seems...) •in summary: no one can age or die until Emma helps them get their crap together, which she does by accidentally falling in love with the EQ and vice versa. Heck, it might be their True Love's Kiss that breaks the spell ;) •This story also flows in and out Regina's POV and Emma's POV, so I apologize in advance if it's hard to follow. But like I said, this kind of just came to me and I have no idea what I'll do with it, but let me know if I should keep this mess going.
