emma swan loves regina mills, get over it

OUAT was just Emma’s dream and in this dream she meets Regina and realizes she’s the love of her life. But when she wakes up, she can’t continue with her life where it stops. She’s too involved with that woman, she can’t let her go forever and that’s why she keeps dreaming about Regina. The fact is that Emma is too afraid to tell the others about her so she locks herself in a cage of emotions so far away from everything and everyone that the only sound she hears is Regina’s voice echoing inside her mind: Come, Josephine, in my flying machine, going up, she goes up, up she goes. 

This post will be updated daily and these are some fics I read through my days in this amazing fandom. I hope you love them as much as I do/did.
