    Summary

    All Azula wants is for things to go back to the way they were – her father on the precipice of conquering the world, her own position secure at his right hand. Now, the only secure thing is her, trapped in a gilded cage in her brother's new Fire Nation. Lonely and adrift, Azula would do anything to make it end, until an unexpected connection rekindles a light she long-thought had burned to ashes. But falling for Suki isn't something Azula can let herself do, especially with the world as they know it threatening to crumble around them.

     

    Or: Azula goes to therapy, has an identity crisis, stops actively trying to kill her brother, makes a few friends, and falls in love along the way.

    i love reading azula fics, partly because i love azula as a character and partly because, for redemption fics, it’s always so interesting to see what path to healing and redemption she’s going to take. that is to say - absolutely love the path the author laid out for her, the support azula had along the way, and the growth she experienced while staying believably in character. best therapist kallik.

    outside pov fics are always so interesting to me, because, while i love seeing how the main characters are feeling, i also love seeing how they seem in other people's eyes. lo and behold, this fic scratches both my itches with the clever use of a journal, which is such a canon-appropriate medium that fits into the cr world so well. this also features beautiful art that really enhances the experience (make sure to check out the extra art pieces in the end notes for a drawing of an adorably dapper pâté).

    Summary

    "Chloe fills up all of the spaces inside her that she didn’t even know existed until Chloe was there."

    orrrrr the one where it takes a fake-engagement and being domestic as hell for these two idiots to realize they're in love. Set two years after PP2 and mostly canon compliant. Title taken from Vance Joy's "Mess is Mine"

    just noticed that i didn't have one of my favourite bechloe fics that i read years ago in my bookmarks yet, oop. cute, sweet, and funny - the opening scene gave me a sensible chuckle and helped ease away the bit of discomfort i felt when they made chloe a three-time super senior in pitch perfect 2.

    Summary

    Emma Swan– orphan, vagrant, and possible secret princess– has been gifted with obedience. She has no choice but to follow any orders given to her, which is complicated enough before life throws in her long-lost parents, a power-hungry witch, and the evil queen she just happens to be in love with.

    this was, and still is, so much fun. what a thrill to find fics you love so much that you can re-read them an innumerable number of times and still find joy in them every time.

    Summary

    Post-finale. Regina returns home to Storybrooke after years away to find that very little has changed in the years since she'd been gone. She still has a son there waiting, struggling to adjust to a new world. She still has a partner, a best friend in a turbulent marriage who looks at her with far too much raw affection in her eyes.

    But Emma also has a little girl now, an infant with Regina's eyes and Regina's magic, and soon, all of Storybrooke as Regina has known it will change irrevocably with her arrival.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    coalitiongirl out of nowhere suddenly started publishing a new swan queen fic ('paper cut stings from our paper-thin plans') and my head popped off my shoulders in ridiculously happy surprise, and needless to say, i've spent the past few days diving back into their old fics, thinking "this is my favourite", "no this is my favourite" with each one of their stories that i re-read. honestly, i just love them all. i am adding this one to my bookmarks though, because, as a post-finale fic, reading it really transported me back to all the things about emma and regina and henry and their family, and all the moments between them, that i loved.

    it's nice to know that after all these years of loving swan queen, even with the show having been over for half a decade, it's still so easy to slip back into their world. i guess you could say they're unique, maybe even special :)
