Title: Nightmares
Fandom: Once Upon A Time
Pairing: Emma/Regina
Rating: PG
Prompt: Nightmare - requested by masfawkes
Word Count: 158
You hate it when she's like this. So deep in sleep that you can't wake her, so tormented by her dreams that you fear for her safety. She's drenched in sweat, her limbs thrashing, strange guttural noises choking from her throat. It wouldn't be so bad if you didn't know for certain that all her nightmares are based on memories. On reality. On the things people have done to her. On that other life in another place, before you knew her. You want to get in the dream with her, to rescue her. But you can't. So you just hold her, even though she hits you, and you say her name, over and over, you tell her that you're there, that she's dreaming, that you love her. Slowly, slowly, she relaxes. Part of you hopes it's because she heard you, but most of you doesn't even care if it was you, so long as her nightmare is over.
