No problem @isagrimorie, though I can probably do better in the fic recs department for those authors just to get you started.
FROM @coalitiongirl MY FAVE SWAN QUEEN FICS:
Emma Enchanted - exactly what you think, an Ella Enchanted AU fic where Emma gets cursed with obedience.
Emma Swan– orphan, vagrant, and possible secret princess– has been gifted with obedience. She has no choice but to follow any orders given to her, which is complicated enough before life throws in her long-lost parents, a power-hungry witch, and the evil queen she just happens to be in love with.
every winter fades away (into the spring) - this one is great just because there’s nothing more hilarious than Emma being an absolutely oblivious fool. It’s amazing.
Emma reaches for Regina’s hand again, but Regina’s moved her ice cream to it instead. “Though, I mean, if I were into women, your mom would definitely be first on my list,” Emma tells Henry.
“I’m flattered,” Regina says dryly.
Her voice sounds a little strained, and Emma tries to lighten the tone. She hadn’t thought Regina would be uncomfortable with the idea of…well, Henry has two mommies, but the Enchanted Forest had seemed a little regressive. “What? Are you saying I’m not on your list?”
“Yes, Emma,” Regina says, and she barks out a choked laugh of her own. “If I were into women, you would definitely be on my list.”
[A year in the lives of Emma and Regina, falling in love all the way through and doing every bit of it backwards.]
like falling in love with a landslide - you might be especially interested in this one, it’s a Queen’s Thief fusion with Henry in the role of Costis.
Henry is nineteen, a guard in Queen Regina's castle, and in deep trouble after a hostile encounter with the queen's reviled new wife. But instead of executing him, Queen Emma takes him on as a personal guard, and Henry soon discovers more about his past, family, and his two queens than he'd have ever imagined.
post tenebras lux - this is a good one, basically after picking up the dagger Dark One!Emma gets really REALLY focused on Regina’s happy ending. And poor, unfortunate Robin gets caught in the crossfire of an Emma that isn’t happy with his performance (here there be a very violent version of the matchmaking trope).
Robin's hurled across the room in the next moment, Emma dark-eyed and furious as gold energy ripples across her skin. “Let me tell you something about me,” she hisses, and her hand is trembling at his throat now as though it’s an effort not to strangle him on the spot. “I always, always know when people are lying to me. Now, why the fuck aren’t you making Regina happy?”
FROM @mygalfriday MY FAVE RIVER/DOCTOR FICS:
a photograph you carry like a future in your back pocket - you remember how when Eleven first regenerated into Twelve, Twelve had those memory problems? Well here’s the angsty look on what if River had come across Twelve while Clara was still his companion and had no idea who River was.
She always wondered what this day would be like when it came – had always imagined it would feel a bit like being punched very hard in the stomach. She was right.
come whatever, i'll be yours all along - literally all you probably need to know here is in the summary.
“Have we met before? Well, no matter – that makes things easier. Or perhaps not depending on our last encounter.” Without waiting for a reply, River reaches for the gun strapped to her thigh and levels it right in his face, smiling serenely. “Don’t make any sudden moves, Scottish Eyebrows. I’m going to need you to marry me.”
she was trying to show me how a life can move from the darkness - and here’s one where Missy’s a good friend. Still completely Missy though, in all her semi-diabolical glory.
Studying him appraisingly for a moment, she takes in the relaxed set of his shoulders and the softness around his eyes that definitely hadn’t been there the first time she encountered this regeneration of his. Finally, she murmurs, “Learned a few tricks on Darillium, did you?”
The Doctor looks away and the light in his eyes dims just a bit.
Or: five times Missy asks about River Song and one time she doesn’t have to.
AND THEN THERE’S CHASH ( @ponyregrets ) AND MY FAVORITE OF HER 494 BELLARKE FICS (it’s actually more, she keeps her lots of the one-shots in a bunch of single updating stories):
Worth the Trouble and Worth the Pain - A royalty!Clarke AU that’s absolutely nuts in the best ways. First one shot is from Bellamy’s POV but there’s a link to Clarke’s POV at the end of the fic.
Princess Clarke has one year to get married. Her personal guardsman is not pleased about the situation, but there's not a lot he can do.
I Know That Fortune Is Waiting to Be Kind - another royalty AU, but this one they’re both royalty. Oh and I seriously cant describe it better that the author does herself.
When Bellamy is eleven, his mother dies, and he finds out his father was a prince, which makes him a prince too, albeit a bastard prince. And when he's twelve, his family decides he would be a good candidate for marriage to Princess Clarke of Arcadia. Princess Clarke thinks so too, but only because he agrees to come back in ten years and help her make sure the wedding never takes place.
It seems like a really good deal, when he's twelve.
The Good Old Days Were Mostly Bad - this one takes place in the canon universe, and is actually part 2 in the series (though first story is actually an extremely cool Monty/Nate fic). It’s a different reunion post their six year long separation.
Dreams are worse than nightmares for Bellamy, on the Ark. And after six years, even being awake is pretty bad.
Just As You Are - first in a series, Modern AU with a Pride and Prejudice twist (this one’s Clarke’s POV but Bellamy’s POV one contains one of the most hilarious moments (of Abby briefly in the role of Lady Catherine).
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single Clarke Griffin in need of a Latin tutorial partner will always end up paired with Bellamy Blake.
