Basically a story of Y/N (insert your own name), a former village girl from the Entchanted Forest, waking up in Storybrooke within the curse just like everyone there.
This story is WLW fanfiction where Y/N and Regina Mills, aka The Evil Queen, meet eachother and have a relationship.
I'll try to make it more of a slow burn but I'm not a professional writer sooo I'm not sure.
And please correct my spelling mistakes and such as my first language isn't English.
Have fun reading!!

Regina Mills, daughter of the tyrannical Queen Cora, struggles against her mother's oppressive reign while navigating her forced marriage to King Leopold. Emma Swan, a spirited young rebel with untapped magic, seeks vengeance for the murder of her mother, Snow White. Their paths collide in a deadly game of politics, power, and forbidden alliances as the Enchanted Forest teeters on the brink of collapse.

Before the Glass
Sixty-five years after peace finally settled across the realms, Regina Mills has spent decades ruling wisely and balancing everything from goblins to city councils. Yet even a queen can ache for home. Drawn by the memory of apple orchards and her father's old riding trails, she returns to her ancestral estate in the Enchanted Forest for a quiet season of renewal. Her granddaughter Evelyn stays behind in Storybrooke to manage the mirror-gates as interim mayor, while the younger grandchildren-Jack the idealist and Luna the half-mad inventor-follow "Grandma Regina" into the woods with far more enthusiasm than sense. Emma Swan, older, silver-haired, and gloriously unfiltered, joins her for company, caffeine, and a little mischief. Years after losing Killian to a peaceful passing, Emma has stopped hiding her feelings and decides life's too short not to love Regina openly, even if it drives the forest spirits crazy. Peace lasts about five minutes. When the ancient magic sustaining the Enchanted Forest begins to fade, Regina sets out to preserve it through research and ritual. Emma-armed with a walking stick, a roll of duct tape, and boundless confidence-refuses to let magic "die behind museum glass." One enthusiastic "repair" later, she manages to short-circuit the gateway between Storybrooke and the Forest, plunging both worlds into comic disaster. Portals flicker, spells misfire, enchanted horses appear in kitchens, and everyone blames everyone else while Emma insists it's "a minor technical hiccup." Now Regina, Emma, and the grandkids must race to restore balance before all magic collapses-proving along the way that family, forgiveness, and a good laugh can heal even the biggest mess. The Queen, the Savior, and the Duct Tape is a wild, heart-warming tale about second chances, late-life love, and the kind of chaos only Emma Swan could call a plan. #1 in swen - 12/2025Complete

Dark Hearts Entwined || Regina Mills x OC || OUAT
Regina Mills X FemOC Abandoned as a newborn by a woman she'd never known, Adirra Evanna and her twin brother were rescued by their fairy godmother, Tigerlily, who entrusted them to their Father Malcolm. Hesitant about his ability to raise the children without their mother, Malcolm took them in. Although he made sure they had a roof over their heads, his blind hatred for his son, married with substance abuse and emotional neglect, only fed the growing resentment within Adirra's heart. A resentment that with every injustice her father inflicted, clawed through her like a scream she never dared to voice and eventually began to manifest as something sharper, something with more spite. Magic. Dark Magic. Growing up with a father who feared her but also knew exactly how to hurt her and would, given the opportunity, affected Adirra more than she'd like to admit. After finally escaping a man who resembled the devil, Adirra resided in a secluded cabin, deep in the enchanted forest. Her life of isolation was integrated by the only two people Adirra had ever let get close enough to stay, Tigerlily and Clare. However, this peace was quickly fleeting compared to the next two and a half centuries she was forced to spend with the man that abandoned her and her brother as children. Exposed to the harsh reality of a world that tried to control her, Adirra thought she'd be subjected to a life of solitude for eternity. That was until a soft, brown-haired boy, firm in his beliefs and adamant that his family would rescue him, arrived on the island. Luckily for Adirra, they did, but of course, nothing comes without a price. Tropes: Enemies to friends to lovers Soulmates Slow burn Takes place from season 3 to season 7
