Fandom: Once Upon a Time
Pairing: Evil Queen | Regina Mills/Emma Swan
Rating: PG (Slightly darker themes.)
Word Count: 111
Also on AO3.
The Emma she remembers was cynical, and damaged, but never broken. She feared becoming the monster that Gold tried to make her, and fought to stay good, for all that she burned with anger.
Regina knows that fire. It is so easy to give in.
But that is not Emma’s darkness.
This is not the flowering of some long-dormant hatred, the ignition of the past. This is forced, bitter, terrible, and everything that Emma wanted to spare Regina.
It will kill her.
Regina will not allow it. Her hands become fists, and her anger turns outwards. The Dark Swan will fall, and Emma will rise from its ashes.
They will live.
