After the death of Neal Cassidy, Emma Swan is left shattered, spiraling through loss while trying to hold it together for her son, Henry. Regina Mills-former Evil Queen, co-parent, and reluctant ally-steps in to help, determined to protect both Emma and Henry during their darkest days. What begins as mutual support slowly blossoms into something neither of them expected.
Through tear-filled nights, shared parenting struggles, and a spontaneous trip to New York, Emma and Regina grow closer-bonded by grief, strengthened by friendship, and ignited by a love long buried beneath the surface. But emotional wounds run deep, and not everyone is ready to see them as more than just co-parents and former enemies.
As Emma battles her demons and Regina confronts feelings she thought she'd never have again, the women must decide whether to risk everything for a love that defies curses, expectations, and the past itself.
