Summary
For Madeline Ashton, flirting is a performance she’s perfected. For her best friend and roomate, Helen, it’s an unsolvable mystery - or so she claims. When Helen begs for lessons to win over her painfully dull boyfriend, Madeline reluctantly agrees.
As each "lesson" blurs the line between performance and reality, the real question isn't if they can stay away from each other, but how long they can keep pretending they want to.

Summary
“I tried to fucking kill you, Madeline,” she said. “I did kill you. I planned it for years. I spent most of what I had on that damn potion. And where did it get me? Back here with you.”
Did she think that Madeline didn’t know all of this? Did she think that Madeline hadn’t spent the past week—past forever—hating herself for it?
“That’s in the past now,” Madeline said, and she really hoped that it didn’t show how upset she was right now because Helen needed her to be stable and that wasn’t possible if she burst into tears at the first bit of well deserved insults.

Summary
“You don’t have to take care of me, Maddie.”
She wishes she was brave enough to ask Madeline the why of it all, but she fears that it’ll be some shallow, baseless reason that makes her heart twist with sadness.
“You don’t get it, do you?” Madeline laughs, pushes off Helen’s lap and sits across from her, looking at her with the most intense, wide eyes Helen has ever seen. “I have to take care of you and protect you because I’m in fucking love with you, Helen.”

Summary
“What if you had a choice right now?” Billy asks.
“Depends. How many irritating questions are you forcing me to answer, in this hypothetical situation?”
“I’m serious,” Billy says, and he looks serious. There’s a strange gleam in his eye. A very 'Take me to the Witches’ Road' sort of gleam. “Would you hop back in your body right now, if you could?”
Agatha sits up. “Depends,” she says again. “Are we still talking hypotheticals?”
-----
After the events of 'real hot ghoul shit,' Billy attempts to use his Chaos magic to get Agatha back in her body. It doesn't exactly go as planned.

Summary
“Honey, you had me worried.”
Agatha’s head snapped up. That was not her voice. In front of her were two soft green eyes. Not Rio’s warm eyes. Who the hell was this woman?
“Mom, see Mama is okay!” Nicky proudly proclaimed. The green-eyed woman smiled.
“Yes, she is,” she said smiling at Agatha, “no two heads!”
Rio was not her wife? Rio was not her wife? What in the god awful fuck was going on?
***
What if between her last breath and her return as a ghost, Agatha’s soul travelled across the multiverse? Finding herself across worlds, she is forced to reckon with how her life would have been if Nicky lived. If she never pushed Rio away.

Summary
“It’s been six years already. I’ve waited six years; it’s taken me six years. I can’t—I need to find him.”
Six years. Not long at all, not the way Agatha sees it. Of course, to a kid—to someone young—it’s a different thing entirely. A life, even.
She hates her mind and its constant returns to this stupid arithmetic. She hates this teenager for being a teenager. She hates that if he doesn’t leave her office right this minute, she knows she’s going to say yes to him, and invent a whole new brand of pathetic middle-aged lesbian divorcée.
*
Billy asks his deceased mother's lawyer to help him find his long-lost brother. Arms are broken. Dubious schemes are hatched. Love returns.

Summary
Emma almost has everything. She's got a wonderful son, a beautiful, tender friend and co-parent, and a family she can count on. It was all she ever dreamed of, once upon a time. At times, she thinks she finally understands what authors mean when they end their story with: they lived happily ever after.
But the feeling always leaves her by the morning. Sometimes she thinks her real happy ending has disappeared somewhere in the past, somewhere in between the curses and forgotten memories. And now it is only a possibility lost to her memories.
If she could go back...
(or in other words, season 6 emma goes back in time and accidentally makes season 1 regina fall in love with her.)
