Summary
Regina isn’t sure when this became part of their routine.
At first, it had been unspoken—Emma showing up at her doorstep late at night after a long day of sheriffing, after making sure Storybrooke was still standing.
And Regina had let her in, every time.

Summary
In the past, Emma Nolan disconnected from her peers in high school, preferring to keep to herself. In her sophomore year of high school, she decided to try and join the boy’s wrestling team because she was bored. She didn’t expect herself to become the champion of the most bullied kid in school or the secret best friend of the school queen. She also didn’t expect to join a club that would change her life.
In the present, Emma is trying to cope with a humiliating loss in her martial arts career. She claims to be “training” but is stuck in limbo between wanting to retire and try again. She is isolated from her former best friend, Regina Mills, a local celebrity chef and the rest of her old friends. When one of them calls her with an idea to honor their deceased teacher, she is confronted with unresolved feelings and questions about how powerful love truly is.

Summary
“Thank you,” she murmurs, her lips full and her eyes maybe a little bit watery. She turns to go before Emma can respond, but, with her back to Emma, says into the darkness, “I don’t make wishes.” This is an offering, and Emma places the words down inside her ribcage, to be saved, always. “Maybe…maybe don’t forget. Today,” she clarifies. “Maybe don’t forget today, and next year, you’re invited. For dinner.”
Title from Gregory Alan Isakov's "The Universe."

"She could laugh at the irony, she could, but all she knows is that death is even more a cage than life, and wasn’t death supposed to set you free?"

Summary
Emma Swan’s Quidditch career, despite her brief and remarkable stint with the US national team, went nowhere. Hired as the coach of the hapless Storybrooke Sirens by none other than the Regina Mills (also known as the Evil Queen in certain quarters), Emma is expected to perform a miracle – or at least, ensure that the Sirens don’t end up at the bottom of the league yet again. It doesn’t help that she and Regina really don’t see eye to eye on most things, or that Regina Mills is really attractive.
The story of a ragtag team of underdogs, two women with pasts to atone for, and a fairytale.
