Summary
Regina Mills does not lose control of anything. Not her lab, not her schedule, not herself. It is the entire architecture of her life and she is deeply proud of it.
Then her best friend asks her for a favor. Tutor the girl. Tuesday afternoons, English literature. A kindness. Nothing to it.
The girl is Emma Swan, nineteen, home after a year that fell apart, and quietly, catastrophically in love with Regina since the night they met. A fact she has confessed to no one, least of all herself.
One book a week. One closed door. Two women who know exactly how bad an idea this is, and keep having it anyway.
How long will it hold?
Emma g!p, Regina is Regina.

Summary
A prophet warned Snow and David that only one thing could stop the Evil Queen: their child, once grown, would have to sacrifice herself to protect the Queen. Only then would the kingdom—and the mistakes of Snow’s past—be truly undone.
Horrified at the thought of raising, loving, and nurturing a child only to send her to certain death, Snow and David make a desperate choice. They send Emma to a world where time flows faster, allowing her to grow in safety—away from the shadow of the prophecy.
But on her 30th birthday, she returns, unprepared, and is confronted with the truth: she must make the ultimate sacrifice to save the kingdom from the Queen. Only, the sacrifice isn’t what anyone thinks it is—and the consequences may be far more complicated than anyone could imagine.

Summary
Emma’s throat tightened as she watched her best friend laugh so freely. Every smile, every playful glance, sent little jolts of panic through her chest. She told herself it was normal and that they were just having fun. They were just friends. But the heat rising in her cheeks told another story.
Regina tilted her head, eyes glinting with mischief. “You know, if we’re both still single in ten years, we should… I don’t know… marry each other. Just to make life interesting.”

Three, it was definitely pre-curse breaking (she had no magic).
Or, Regina travels back in time, Henry's having weird dreams about his mom's old friend and if Emma doesn't find the former Evil Queen soon, they'll all be in a world of trouble.

As Emma begins to see Regina through different eyes—not as the antagonist she once feared, but as the woman she might have always loved—she walks a dangerous line between preserving the timeline and following her heart.But with Regina's suspicions mounting and Gold's cryptic interest in her situation, Emma must decide: protect the future she knows, or risk everything for a chance to rewrite their story?
