Summary
A perpetually WIP tale of political intrigue, magic. Flashbacks, old enemies, new friends, and true love. Set in Season 2 with a slight resemblence to the show. Multiple plot lines. OCs, and re-examined charecters bring an entirely new dynamic to Storybrooke.
A reluctant savior, an ex-evil queen, a werewolf-waitress, an adventurous librarian, a loyal warrior, and a princess in search of an identity all come together for an epic adventure that Storybrooke may not survive.
Explicit scenes and triggers will be noted per chapter as applicable. Updates are a bit spotty.

Summary
“Last year, Jackie Taylor got hit like a freight train by Matthews.” Martinez gestures to the newspaper. “Now Taylor’s back with the Yellowjackets, but she’s terrified of being on the ice. They wanna hire you to protect her. Help her get her confidence back.”
“They want me to play bodyguard?” Shauna asks. She studies how breakable Jackie Taylor looks. “…Okay, yeah. I accept.”
Or
A hockey au where Shauna is an enforcer hired to protect Jackie on the ice after an injury.

Summary
“Holy shit, did you see her in class today?”
“Yes! I don’t know how she wears shit like that and expects not to be laughed at.”
“Oh my God, she’s such a dyke.”
Shauna freezes. Technically she hasn’t moved since she got into this position, but her muscles tense up like springs, ready at a moment’s notice to fight or flight. She forces herself to calm down because she doesn’t even know who they’re talking about. Is it a horrible thing to say? Yeah, but it’s not surprising. Shauna’s heard the same prejudice from Mr. Taylor’s mouth enough to be a little desensitized to it. Whoever they were bitching about, it’s ultimately none of her business.
“I bet Van only joined soccer to be in the girl’s locker room,” they snickered.
Oh. They were talking about Van. Scratch that—it is Shauna’s business.
Or
Five times Shauna stands up for her teammates and one time they do the same for her.

Summary
“You know,” Nat says, “you’re not so tough-looking without your battle suit.” She’s grinning at Lottie and Lottie likes that, too. That smile is powerful. Sly and cocky, a little crooked, and so full of well-earned pride. Nat’s got plenty to be proud of.
“You’re not so scary either,” Lottie says. She digs her fingertips in and pulls Nat’s hips against her. She can’t remember the last time she was this close to a woman—if she’s ever been this close to a woman—but if Nat never gets any farther away from her than she is now, Lottie will die happy. “Now that you don’t pull guns on me for fun anymore.”
-
Lottie never wanted to be a superhero. Now that she's been one (rather reluctantly) for a while, things are changing. Nat is finally starting to figure her out—for better or for worse.

Summary
Nine months and twenty-four days from now, Jackie will look at Shauna over the glow of an amateur campfire and ask: “What about you, Shipman? Any secrets big enough to crash a goddamn plane?” and Shauna will avoid Mari’s gaze, but right now, she meets her eyes.
