Summary
Queen Regina is a portrait of self-loathing, drowning in the loss of control that has repeatedly been stripped from her since she was a child. Most call her Evil, and she doesn’t doubt that she is, for her black heart is filled with nothing but violence and contempt, hatred and malice. Darkness has infected her for so long now, that she knows it is only a matter of time before it consumes her... before it kills her.
Destiny, however, has other plans.
One fateful night, the Queen's guards capture a man, a thief she is unable to break, even when she tortures him with her worst punishments. Regina quickly becomes infatuated with him, obsessed with exercising control over something of her own, almost enjoying the way he distracts her from the rest of her hellish life. But the Thief has his own agenda, and if he has his way, he won’t be the only one getting punished.

Summary
“Oh, I don’t know,” Regina says. “It makes a certain amount of sense on paper. Henry’s two mothers, all that fighting, making magic together, tentative trust built. Destroyed of course, but Robin needn’t know that. Plus, I knew it would really irritate him.”
Emma wants to ask why but also doesn’t want to push her luck. “And you expect me to go along with this?”
“I don’t know how else to put this, Ms Swan,” Regina says, leaning forward. “You owe me and I’m calling to collect.”
It's been a month and Regina won't speak to her, until she does and Emma is left pretending to be in a relationship with her so that Regina can get through a dinner invitation with her pride intact.- Language:
