adm_hawthorneAuthor Website: on ao3Why this must be read: Emma/Regina is my OUAT OTP and what I love about this epic story is how believable their coming together is made. It takes the slowburn approach, showing how Emma takes the first step from a friendship-hey-were-raising-a-kid-together-maybe-we-should-try-to-get-along approach and decides she's going to help Regina work through her (mountain) of issues. The two of them bond over trust issues, shared histories, and of course Henry. Plus there's time travel and magic and Regina trying her absolute damnedest to be a good person (and we're all rooting for her redemption right). Its a deeply character-study driven story, but there's also a great plot and a mystery with it. Plus, this is merely Part One of the
Epic Fanfic of Epicness. The story is complete, but when you get to the end, you'll want to keep on reading. So prepare to loose some sleep my fellow SwanQueens.
Warnings: violence, discussions of mental health, discussions of noncon/rape as past trauma (but none actually happens in the course of the story),
For HenryHey everyone, I'll be reccing some Once Upon a Time fic this month (woot!). I have my shipships, but I read just about everything for this fandom so I'll try and be diverse in my reccs. Plus, if there's anything specific you'd like let me know.
