Summary
“I’m here because... I think my kid is having some kind of delusional breakdown because he can’t cope with the fact that ... Mayor Mills and I split up.”
Dr. Hopper pushes his glasses up his nose in a measured movement. “What makes you think that?”
“Well, among other things, he thinks his mother is about to cut Mary Margaret Blanchard’s heart out of her chest, before pulverizing it and sending her into a coma that only her true love can rescue her from.”
[AU; here, 'fairy tale land' is merely a product of Henry's imagination during a difficult time.]

Summary
“Well, let’s see…” Regina trails off in thought, even though she knows exactly what she wants, lungs and blood and foolish heart all yearning for the one thing she hasn’t quite managed to obtain for herself. “I think your firstborn child should be adequate payment.”
Her customer’s brow furrows. “My firstborn child?”
Regina inclines her head slightly. “That’s what I said.”
Emma splutters like an old car unwilling to start. “But - I mean - look, lady, I don’t even have a boyfriend -”
“I can wait,” Regina says lightly. It’s true. She’s waited a long time and a couple of years (or decades, as the case may be; Regina isn’t sure Miss Swan is quite the type to settle down with the first man she sets her eyes on) aren’t going to make a huge amount of difference.
or, the one where Regina desperately wants a kid but also ends up desperately wanting Emma Swan but she can't have both because, well, it's really quite complex.
