Summary
The girl glanced at him as she slipped another piece of cake into her mouth. She chewed slowly as she let her gaze trace the contours of his face. Rumple didn't know what she was looking for, but after a long moment, she offered him a piece of his own cake.
"I'm Emma."
"Emma." Rumple said, smiling down at her. "What a lovely name."
What if Rumplestiltskin had met Emma long before she arrived in Storybrooke? What if their paths kept crossing over the course of her life as Emma kept reappearing in the Enchanted Forest - finding in Rumpelstiltskin the one constant in a chaotic and painful childhood? But what if Rumplestiltskin went on to betray her in the most devastating way, shattering the trust they had built and destroying their bond forever?

🌸 AU STORY 🌸
Regina Mills was born to survive...but some lies don’t stay buried forever. Bound by duty, haunted by loss, and trapped in a marriage she never wanted, Queen Regina wears her crown like a cage. Long before vows were spoken and silk sheets stained red with royal consummation, she loved another...deeply, desperately, and in secret. But secrets whispered in innocence can still shatter lives. When betrayal costs Regina everything, she makes the only choice she can: to live. To lie. To protect the child growing inside her...Daniel’s child. Months pass, and a son is born under suspicious circumstances (very small, premature, but perfectly healthy) The King harbors doubts, as does the courts, but they are quietly tucked away at first...After all, she gave him an heir.
Then she arrives shortly after the baby's birth... Emma. A nursemaid with fire in her eyes and freedom in her bones. A temptation Regina never meant to touch...and can no longer resist. Desire grows where duty should reign. But every lie has a price. And when the truth finally breaks the surface, it threatens to destroy the fragile world Regina built to survive.

🌸 AU STORY 🌸
.
Regina Mills doesn’t remember who she is...at least, not entirely. Fragments slip through the cracks, fleeting and impossible, but every time she speaks them aloud, the doctors tighten their grip. More medication. More electrotherapy. More reminders that Storybrooke isn’t real, that the world she remembers is nothing more than a fabrication of a broken mind trying to cope with unbearable loss.But Emma Swan knows the truth. She remembers everything. The life they had before the curse. The love they shared. The war they fought. And the curse that stole it all. Regina is the key to breaking this new nightmare, but years of conditioning have left her convinced that magic, love, and everything Emma swears is real are nothing but the delusions of a fractured mind. Emma visits every day, refusing to give up. Because Regina once saved her. And now, it’s Emma’s turn to save Regina...before the asylum takes what little is left of her.

Summary
🌸 AU STORY 🌸
Regina never expected to love again...not after Daniel, not after the throne, and certainly not after the potion that was supposed to ensure she’d never be used as a pawn in her mother’s game again. But when she discovers she’s pregnant, everything shatters. Either the potion failed… or Cora switched it. And Regina, who spent years believing she was free, now feels the old chains tightening once more.
Enter Emma...her Lady-in-Waiting, stubborn, soft-hearted, and far too observant. Emma sees through Regina’s armor in ways no one else dares. What starts as stolen glances and tentative conversations becomes something far more dangerous: trust, intimacy, maybe even love. But between courtly politics, the looming shadow of Cora, and a child Regina never asked for, freedom has never felt further away. And yet, with Emma beside her, rebellion doesn't feel impossible. It feels inevitable. Will she ever find what she has been conditioned to believe doesn't exist? Freedom? Happiness?
