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.

Saltblood and Silence
Four years after the storm. Queen Emma Swan rules a fragile Enchanted Forest rebuilt from ashes-but she rules alone. The Pirate Queen who saved her vanished into the mist without a word. In her place come emissaries: eleven powerful figures from fallen kingdoms, all loyal to a ghost. Each brings their own resources, secrets, and debts-answering not to Emma, but to Regina. While Emma navigates a world shaped by someone else's empire, the Ravager sails on. Far across the seas, a stowaway child-Rag-sneaks aboard one of Regina's shadow ships, dreaming of freedom and pirate glory. Instead, Rag is broken down, beaten, and forged in salt and labor under the brutal hands of the crew. What begins as punishment becomes survival, and what survives begins to learn. As whispers rise of assassinations among the emissaries, Emma digs deeper into the Queen's web. She uncovers a hidden empire built over thirty-five years: former prisoners, now nobles and ministers. Survivors of Regina's ship, released with new names and silent vows. She was not the first. And she may not be the last. When one of the emissaries is murdered, the tides shift. The Ravager returns to Hollowdeep, an underwater fortress carved in silence and magic. And the Pirate Queen rises again-cursed, burning, and merciless. Old wounds open. Loyalties crack. Emma must face the truth: the empire Regina built might be the only thing keeping their world from collapsing. But can she forgive the woman who made her a weapon? Can she lead beside her, or must she defy her? And somewhere in the fog, the stowaway watches it all-still nameless, still unknown-waiting for a place to belong.

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
