Very good. And very heartbreaking. And now I have so many emotions. I need to lay and think. You showed very well her loneliness and desperation but I hope you'll find a way for her to be a happy after all, find a peace in her life.

[modestroad]

Thank you :)

Um, probably not what it comes to mind when you think of birthdays, but I wanted to write this story ever since the little shit left her alone at Gold's shop. I don't know if people will like it since it's a character study and nothing like the two stories I've wrirten so far, but, like I said, I wanted to write this story for a very long time.

And, um...yeah, she will. Kinda. And not in the way you think.

[janejuly]

And not in the way you think. What does it mean?:)
I find sad is the fact that she left STB, she created that town for herself, but then she was forced to leave her town, her own home.

[modestroad]

What does it mean?

I really can't tell. Sorry :)

It is sad. It's a sad story, I can tell that for sure, but there is nothing left for her there anymore.

Well, thank you for killing me. >_>

THE ANGST. THE PAIN. But it was so glorious.

You know what's funny? Near the beginning, when Regina almost returned to Storybrooke, I thought, "No! It's too soon! Why are you back so soon?!" And then when I neared the end and it felt like she wasn't going to return, I thought, "NOOOO." I mean, I get it, why she didn't (You want to go home. You don't have one. was really painful by the way), but still. My heart really ached for her in this fic.

My favorite aspect of this fic was that you really felt how that pain stays with her. She can't seem to escape the demons of the past, can't seem to truly move on, can't truly get close to people... :'(

[modestroad]

I'm sorry *hugs*

No, she can't, can she? I mean, almost everyone in the show can find something to be happy about, an escape of shorts, but not Regina. Unfortunately, she has a long road ahead of her until she can find some peace of mind.

Not sure if I'll post it anywhere but here, but this is my favorite story so far. And I have 4 sitting on my computer :P

EDIT:'cause sometimes I can't spell at all.

Sometimes I think they're going to finish Regina's line something like this. In the end of show. Well I think they aren't going to kill after all but they won't give her happy ending, too. Because she's the evil queen.

[modestroad]

Sometimes I think that Regina is the breakthrough character of the show and that, at the end, she'll have a version of a happy ending like getting Henry back or dying and Daniel waiting for her on the other side, etc...

And other times I remember that Once is from the same writers that gave us Lost and I'm terrified of the future of all characters- not only Regina's.

[janejuly]

Oh right! Lost! I liked that show. But shame on me by the end of the show, I ceased to understand anything. I do not even remember how the show was over, I remember just I didn't understand anything, and my first reaction was "WTF?! are you kidding me?" but it's still my current reaction huh

I stopped watching after season 2 to tell the truth. I had friends that kept watching till the end and to this day, when I ask them to explain the end they give me a weird look and change the subject.

I pray that won't happen to OUaT.
