Guilty by reason of self defence (this is my second post of this prompt as hoping someone will pick it up)

Regina Mills is finally back home in America after serving 10 yrs in a high security prison in Mexico. She was paroled on good behaviour. Her crime? Having her husband murdered in a “botched up hi jack” whilst vacationing in Mexico. The hi jacker - Sidney Glass - turned her in after he was caught and told just how many years he’d be serving for his crime and so he cut a deal after he realised she never really did love him. So Regina goes to trial and pleads guilty by reason of self defence - she claims that it was an arranged marriage to a man old enough to be her father, and in which she had been tormented to 8 years of marital rape and severe beatings. She’d finally had enough when nobody would believe her so she took matters in her own hands and orchestrated this ho jacking when a planned business trip to Mexico came up. The Mexican courts were not sympathetic to her reasoning and gave her 30 yrs in a high security Mexican prison.

So now she is back in America, and makes her home in a new town where nobody knows her - Storybrooke, Maine. She’s looking for a quiet life away from the press and prying eyes.

After just a couple of days of settling into her new home, she finally braves the grocery store and whilst waiting in a queue to buy her things, the person behind (Dr Whale, perhaps?) her recognises her and starts hurling accusations at her. Emma, the off duty sheriff, is in store doing her own shopping with her son Henry. She hears the commotion and goes to investigate. She recognises Regina and comes to the rescue and stands up for Regina. She then waits for Regina to pay for her things and escorts her to her car in case she has more trouble with Whale or anybody else. She even offers to follow Regina home just in case. Regina is hesitant but then accepts after she sees Whale exiting the store and eyeing her. It turns out that Regina lives in the same apartment building as Emma and Henry. They become friends and Regina slowly let’s her walls down and confides in Emma. Emma has her built in lie detector and knows Regina is telling the truth when she tells Emma that she did what she did in self defence. That Leo had once beaten her so badly, she was left incapacitated for days and locked in a room with just bread and water. She knew one day he’d kill her so she decided to kill him first. So they start out as friends and then more…SQ happy ending.

lmao

One time when I was 5 I almost made my dad have a wreck bc we were in the car and all of a sudden I just said “why do boys have to kiss girls, it would be better if girls kissed girls.” And his homophobic ass was so fuckin shook he swerved

reminded of this post again, and i am so saddened.

Its not about growing up. You are a child, holding hands with your mother at a festival. She tells you to stay put. You listen, because she is your mum. You stay. and stay. and stay. The sky gets dark. People are staring. You are taken to home after home. Some people dont like you. Some people dont treat you kind. Some arent bad, but arent great either. They all dont fit. You run. No adult believes in you. Its you against the world. It's always been you against them. You run. Youre taken to another family. Same as the rest. Most likely. Possibly. The kids are okay. Maybe the adults are decent. Youre still gonna run at the end of the week. Actually, next week. Maybe once the kids birthday passes. Maybe once the holidays kick in.

You are a child. You never really got to be one. You are just learning you can. be one, that is. That you have time. That they support you. Youve never had that before. Not for a long time. You are scared, to both have it and lose it.

Something is wrong. Your magic is unstable. You wake up as someone far older than you really are. You cant trust yourself. People are depending on you. You dont want to lose them, but know that if you dont have something they want, that theyll pack up and leave. You are a child, but not for long.

This is not about growing up.

You asked for it, I delivered! (finally) The second part to the Girlfriends gifset. (Part 1) I  profoundly apologize if I have butchered any of your ships in the process, do consider that I don’t actually watch some of these shows.

And a special shout-out to my amazing friend delphinecosmier for helping me to come up with the names. You rock, buddy!

Bonus:

I need to binge watch this again

I want this

Sam had always shipped her two friends, Kara and Lena. Frustrated with the gay idiots, she planned to make a road trip to bring them together. Unknowingly, during the trips, old feelings came up and the result was surprising.
