Regina Mills had spent her whole life fighting Love, or Evil. When she was younger she fought for the love she had for Daniel, and tried her hardest to fight her mother's evil, ultimately ending in losing Daniel. For a while, she tried to fight the evil that began festering inside after the loss, and she lost that battle too. Then, for years she fought the love that Snow White and Prince Charming had for eachother, doing everything in her incredibly vast power to try and ruin it for them. Everything she did fought off love, deep down she felt unworthy of it, even from her own son who she truly loved but still kept at arm's length. When she met Emma Swan, it was different. Emma didn't even try to suck up to the mayor, she didn't care about Henry's stories of her evil-doing, though she did believe him. She wasn't scared of Regina, so she had no love to fight.
It felt wrong, but for that very reason, Regina found herself with fondness for Emma. How odd, that the younger woman's lack of love caused the older woman to become fascinated.
It felt wrong, and it felt scary, and Regina Mills didn't like feeling scared.
I don't own any of the characters.
Once Upon A Time Regina and Emma were high school sweethearts, but faced a few misunderstandings which led to a harsh split. Emma ran off to the military and then to New York, leaving Regina stuck in Storybrooke. The two meet again at a class reunion, where things change, and are not as they seem.
AU - no curse - no magic (but between you and I, I'm planning on using this idea, but putting in the magic element and changing like half of this story in a different work)
Rated Mature for later Chapters
Warning, This is my first Swan Queen story. As the chapters continue coming, I promise they will grow in depth and probably length.
Warning 2.0:
This story will have mentions of non-consensual sex and scenes of abuse throughout. I'll try to put a warning before the chapters.
