Complications of the Heart - Swan Queen Big Bang Fic
Summary: Snow White put the Evil Queen Regina Mills under a spell, with the help of Rumplestiltskin, to keep her in hiding, safely tucked away for 30 years from her family and her throne, but little does she know that the spell is weakening each day. When Regina finally escapes well before the expected time, she crafts a plan for vengeance that sets Snow on an emotional and mental downward spiral, putting not only Regina's life at risk but Emma's as well. Will Snow White, driven mad by hate and revenge, be able to be stopped in time by the Evil Queen and the White Knight?

Sample (click linked text below for full, completed story):
A silence settled as Emma considered her options. She watched the dark-haired woman walk around the room, and the location became evident as she saw a large bed against the far wall. It was dark, imposing, and larger than life, much like the woman strutting around the room nonchalantly. Her heart began to race as multiple scenarios played out in her head - some welcome, others unnerving, a few frightening.
