A/N: To be continued here
She thinks he's a stranger at first, a shouting man with dark hair, running towards her. She freezes him mid stride, wondering what their side is playing at sending someone after her in broad daylight; alone no less. That is until she releases him and it's Daniel who rises to his feet, or at least someone with the face of Daniel.
"Show me your true form."
"This is it."
"Liar!"
He catches her wrist before she can slap him, smile open and serene, "I was lost in Limbo, the curse of having one's heart taken before its time. A voice told me to focus on my love for you and I ended up here. It's a miracle."
Or something else entirely.

Emma slams the door, frustrated after yet another failed conversation with Snow. She tried to explain how Regina had changed and was willing to make a bargain. There were some who preferred their Storybrooke lives, they could stay behind, tethered by Regina's counterspell. Snow refused to make peace however, too used to the queen's deceit. She insisted if left to her own devices Regina would backslide into old habits and nothing would convince her otherwise.
"She took everything from us, you can't trust her."
"No, but I can forgive her."
Day after day they fought the same argument, Emma unwilling to give up Regina's whereabouts and Snow unwilling to accept she meant them anything but harm. It would be easy to use their relationship as leverage, but the very idea of telling Prince Charming and Snow White she'd fallen for the evil queen while plotting the downfall of Rumpelstiltskin gave her a headache no amount of asprin could fix.

"-so how was your day?"
Regina locks her wrists behind Emma's neck and purrs, "I missed you" instead.
It's not a lie, merely a statement apropos of nothing, entirely true. Emma lets her worries drift to the back of her mind, losing herself in the kiss following Regina's words.
Which of course is when Daniel chooses to shout something about needing a tunic that didn't smell of death and walks in without a shirt, holding a half eaten apple. Regina breaks the embrace reflexively before he comes up behind her, placing too long of a kiss to the side of her head and smiling at Emma.
"I apologize for interrupting, you ladies, but I must borrow my fiance."
"Fiance?" She looks at Regina for some indication of this being a joke, but is met with silence.
"...Sorry, you are?"
"Nobody." She turns on her heel, muttering, "Obviously."
Daniel frowns, opening his mouth to ask a question but instead treated to the sight of Regina snapping out of it and jogging after the other woman without so much as a goodbye. He takes another bite of the apple, still deciding whether to go after them when lights flash from his pocket. Regina is in the middle of explaining herself when she recieves the same message.
