    Summary

    Here’s a holiday tale, in which we rewind to S4: the Warehouse was restored, thanks to Helena. Let’s say that she did in fact disappear after the events of the S4 premiere, as happened on the show, and the first half of that season played out as depicted. But then let’s say also that Helena came back after fetching and carrying for Mrs. F, with no Boone interregnum (because I am sick to damn death of trying to come up with in-character reasons for that obscenity). Point being, it’s December at the Warehouse. Stuff happens. That stuff monkeywrenches Myka’s Christmas-related plan for letting the somewhat recently returned Helena know how she feels. Do things end happily? Depends on how you feel about slapstick. The working title of this story was “Banana.”

    Summary

    That was the problem with loving someone the way she’d loved him, that always love like the land or the sky: when always flipped into never. No ground beneath her feet, no stars. No slouching cartographer brushing hair out of his eyes to make legible this new terrain.

    Summary

    When Emma Swan’s upstairs neighbour brings home a strange woman who claims to be a queen from another time and place, Emma’s pretty sure she’s either an actor who’s gone a bit too method or just escaped a cult. However, coerced into looking out for Regina, she starts to wonder if there isn’t something in this after all--and starts to fall for the young queen.

    A canon divergence AU loosely based on ‘Kate and Leopold’.

    Summary

    She didn't always understand why it happened, only that it did. She was a traveler across the span of a lifetime that was probably not her own.
