Summary:

“Where did you learn to do that?” Gwaine asked, following Merlin up the bank. “This is how normal people fish,” Merlin replied dryly. “Not trying to stab them with swords.” “This is a knife,” Gwaine retorted, sounding every bit as sulky as he felt. “Still, you didn’t catch a fish.” ------------------------------------------------------ Gwaine saves a young Merlin from a beating and ends up with a new little brother to take care of on his travels. Or, what would Merlin be like if he had Gwaine influencing him over his formative years?

**

Sneak Peak:

“Why did you do that?” he asked. Gwaine sat down on the cloak with his bag, unpacking the water and the salve he kept in the bottom. “Why did I do what?” Merlin simply pointed back to the direction they came from. Gwaine sighed. “I’m not sure what sort of life you’ve had Merlin, but big beefheads like that shouldn’t be belting the stuffing out of small boys like you.” “I’m not a boy.” That made Gwaine chuckle. “How old are you then my friend?” “Sixteen.” “Ha!” Gwaine shook his head. “You, my friend, are not a day over twelve winters.” “Am too,” Merlin replied petulantly. “Okay, how old are you then?” “Almost fourteen.” The boy was small for thirteen, but it didn’t look like the brothers were the type to make sure their workers had three square meals and time for recreation. He had felt skinny under Gwaine’s hands as he hung onto him on the horse, all bones and sharpness instead of the pudgy fat boy Gwaine had been at the same age just before he had his growth spurt. “Okay almost-fourteen, sit down here so I can patch up that face of yours.”

My editor/beta reader dropped me due to other projects ( I understand) and I’m looking for an editor/beta reader for my Swan Queen Once Upon a Time stories. We can discuss payment in private.

I would need someone who can commit long term (when the story is complete) and maybe willing to stay for future stories (I have a lot of ideas 😂). My chapter don’t normally run over 5k but that may change.

If you’re interested please privately message me!

Okay, I'm back after all, I had to share that scene I had in my head.

So there was that post I reblogged and I couldn't help but turn it into swanqueen.

I just can't help seeing Emma and Regina making out in the kitchen. They hear the door open, and they panic because they are not out, not even to Henry.

Regina shoves Emma into the nearest hiding place, the pantry. Henry enters the kitchen and greats her mom. Small talks ensue.

Henry goes to the pantry to grab a snack. Regina can't find a excuse quickly enough to stop him. He opens the door and peeks inside.

"Hi Ma."

"Hi Henry."

He rummaged through the shelves for his favorite snack.

"You're not too cramped in here?" asks Henry.

"Nah. It's roomy. I think I gonna move in."

Henry beams, but it's not clear if it's about the idea of his birth mother living under the same roof or if it's because he finally found the right snack.

"Got lots of homework to do, gotta go. Bye Ma!"

"Bye Henry?"

Henry emerges of the pantry at last. Regina is still stock-still in the middle of the kitchen. She can't even warn her son against putting crumbs everywhere.

After a minute, Regina finally gains back the controle of her own body and goes into the pantry.

"So... He knows. He must know, right?"

"I thought he would be more surprised."

"Maybe we should still sit him down and talk to him about... Us."

"Yes, we should do that before I move in."

"I'm sorry, what?"

"You didn't hear? This pantry is roomy and confy, I think I'll be fine here."

"Why live in this shoe box of a pantry when I have a queen sized bed?"

"Is it an invitation, Madam Mayor?"

"The requirement for being a denizen of my bedroom is a kiss every morning. Starting now."

"I think I can manage that."

"Welcome home, Emma."

*

I think the same setting would be fun at the loft with Snow. Would Snow would be shell-shocked or would she act like it was a long time coming?

I like the idea of her going "Hi Regina, bye Regina!... Wait..."

The closet is such an underrated trope tbh.

I need Swan Queen fanfic of later season Emma going back in time to S1. And not just for a bit (this was inspired by @coalitiongirl's Rewind, which is amazing - all her fics are amazing - but Emma goes back to S4 after a scene in the past in that one), but to stay. Storybrooke's still cursed but Emma knows all about it. She could show Regina that she can be herself and still be loved and they could find their happily ever after so much more quickly 🥹

NEW CHAPTER POSTED 1/7/2025!!

[isthatmyjacket-covenofchaossq]

HEAR ME OUT: As eighteen years Emma Swan is about to be arrested by Neal's theft, she makes a wish to escape but the wish kinda goes wrong and she ends up in the Enchanted Forest, right in one of the Evil Queen's dungeons.

new fic alert!!! new fic alert!!!

finally posting something after almost another year long hiatus from writing. i got a little more in depth about where i've been and what it's been like to write this in the end notes of the fic, so if you're curious go there, but i'll definitely be posting about it on here soon. so in the meantime....

we fill the gaps (you and me make three) chapter 1 is posted on my ao3! i've been dropping little hints about it for months, and my story for last years sqsn was the main driving point behind this fic (and yes the title for both fics comes from the same song, in my mind strange birds is a predecessor or sort of outline to this). the intro of strange birds was actually ripped straight from the draft for this, because i started rewriting season 1 almost two years ago and at the time had written some pre-henry-curse regina analysis to tie into it. this first chapter covers the events of s1e1 to about s1e19, and the rest of s1 up to the curse breaking will be chapter 2. consider its length both a treat and a warning that this is going to take a while.

love you guys <3

“Here,” she said, handing Regina the glass of water. “I’ll go find you something to sleep in.”

“Emma, I can just go home.”

“Regina, you can’t drive and it’s the middle of the night, anyway.”

“I don’t have to drive, Em-ma,” Regina over-enunciated, placing the glass of water on the table. Her heart leapt back up her throat at the sound of her name in that tone. Regina wiggled her fingers. “Magic.”

“Magic yourself some pajamas and I’ll let you poof home,” Emma countered, elbowing her heart back down as Regina’s eyes closed and her nose screwed up in concentration; she was adorable. Then a sudden gasp, one that Emma would unfortunately be thinking about forever, and her eyes flew open and darted away from Emma. She was still in the same clothes. Concern flooded Emma, now worried that Regina had hurt herself somehow. “What happened? Are you okay?”

“I’m fine,” Regina assured, taking a large gulp of water in a very un-Regina-like manner. Emma watched her carefully, looking for any sign of a magical mishap. Her face was more flushed than it had been, but it could have been the magic exertion. She was breathing heavily but it was evening out quickly. Eyes were fixated on the furthest point away from her. Regina seemed physically fine, but she was… embarrassed?

“What's wrong? Couldn’t make pajamas happen?” Emma teased, trying to make light of whatever happened and pull Regina back to the fun, easy time they were having.

“No, it would seem I should take you up on both of your offers,” Regina conceded, finally meeting Emma’s eyes. Her pupils were blown, eyes rimmed red. Emma smiled at her widely.

“Don’t wanna try one more time?”

“I’m worried that if I do, I’ll accidentally disappear more than just my bra.” Regina held her gaze, head tilted slightly as if she were daring Emma to continue. Emma’s mouth went dry.

“I’ll, uh- I think I’ve got an extra shirt and sweats,” Emma said lamely, catching the edge of the table and stumbling slightly as she hurried past Regina toward the stairs. Unabashed giggles echoed behind her as she hurried upstairs, ducking into the bathroom.

seeking help from swen

looking for a swan queen fic...

the only thing i remember is that regina and emma start dating, and regina starts to freak out, and starts overdoing it with things she thinks will make emma happy, like doing her washing, and being overly nice and stuff. it starts to get on emma's nerves, and i think she talks with snow about it.

sorry, i know that description is super vague, but it's driving me nuts not knowing what the fic is, so any suggestions would be great.

thanks in advance!

i had an idea for a non-curse swanqueen au but didnt have the energy to write it so i decided to map it out with picture/moodboard thingis. so, in this au, emma is a new york detective who was offered a transfer to storybrooke maine after a traumatic workplace injury - she was shot in her shoulder. she decides to check the town out with her son one weekend. henry falls in love with the place, specifically the horse ranch, where regina works. he's sad when they return to new york and that makes up emma's mind about the transfer and she accepts it immediately. turns out the town needed a sheriff not a detective, which is a bit of an adjustment for her, but not really because it's a really tiny town. she gets her badge, her house and henry is overjoyed. at the diner one morning they run into regina and her newly adopted son. henry insists she walk with them to his new school, regina obliges. she and emma start talking, and [this is the part i got stuck on and therefore could not write] eventually fall in love [i dont know how to write the falling in love part]

Surprise Christmas (ish) one-shot!

“They glanced at each other, with that sparkling, fizzing, bubbling tension that might precede a kiss.”

Inspired by the Netflix series ‘Grace & Frankie’ ! Read here.

I am searching for a Swan Queen fic, wondering if anyone happen to know where I can read it. I had thought I saved it but nope. From what I remember from the fic it’s DarkSwan! / Evil Queen and Regina spilt. It takes place after Camelot. Emma had twin boy and girl with Regina, but Regina doesn’t know about them (I believe their memories of Camelot were erased).

And I believe Regina is with Robin Hood. I think Mal and Zelena were there and couple as well, but I can’t remember.

You don’t f*ck with the SwanQueen Mafia!

Inspired by the bases which kinda reminded me of Avicii’s Addicted to You music video - a Sapphic Bonnie & Clyde. In case you don’t know the song I’m talking about here’s the link to the music video.
