That was lovely! Sweet, bittersweet, and just incredibly lovely.

Thank you so much! It was my first real dip into more than a simple PWP, so I really appreciate it. :D

It was a really nice piece, and it hit on a lot of things in my personal head!canon...

Yep, this was so adorable and fluffy, as well as inventive in its post-fairytale return, I might need to see the "family vacation at the lake" follow-up. Please? :)

[chilly_flame]

Not sure about that particular follow up, but I am thinking about this universe a little, so who knows, you might see a follow up after all. (We'll see!) Thank you!

[chilly_flame]

Thank you! Obviously I agree with your take on Regina--her own redemption will be based on her ability to feel that she deserves it, which will be a challenge (to say the least) considering her upbringing. I love exploring those possibilities, so I'm thankful you're enjoying them too!

Well, my dear, that was a truly lovely piece, a beautiful tapestry threaded through with a shimmering melancholy. We are all the sum of our pasts, good and bad, and it's wonderful to see Emma convince Regina that she is more than the result of the bad; that the good things, the happy things, though painful to remember at times, make up more of her than she imagines.

Very nice, dear, very nice.

Thank you, friend. Nice to hear from you and to know you're reading OUAT--it's a breath of fresh air to explore a new universe. Particularly one with a character like Regina, who is so absolutely rich with possibilities. So happy you enjoyed. :D

As always you have another great tale. A sequel where Snow and James either get on board or get off the train would be nice. I myself am a "Team Regina" girl all the way and enjoy having Snow and James face reality versus their own version of the past. Great work!

Hey! Thanks so much--not sure how I missed this comment, but I so appreciate the kind words. I have something else in the works now (rather than a sequel to this), but you never know! :D
