Summary
"Nobody could force Madeline Ashton to talk about her feelings, not even when she was in free fall like right now. Helen knew Madeline tended to overreact and let her negative feelings take over a lot, but now she was simply losing control. Helen could see she didn’t even know what she was doing anymore. Everything was going too fast, Madeline was almost never home, and when she came back she looked even less like herself than she did in the morning. She was going to hurt herself, if she hadn’t already. It was as if she was standing in front of a cliff, looking down, waiting to see if she was actually going to fall – or maybe waiting for something to push her, she wasn’t really sure anymore. Helen hated this, and she hated that she was somehow responsible for all of this."
-
Helen gets a girlfriend and Madeline breaks down, left to face some truths she buried long ago already and has been trying to forget for years.

Summary
"Their relationship had always been too weird. Too possessive, too close, too jealous for it to end up any other way. And she knew it, she really did. But when Madeline was left alone just long enough to start really thinking about it, she knew it was a bad decision that had grown into an even worse situation. She knew it affected them. She knew they never should have let themselves do this."
-
basically what happens when Madeline tells Helen why she stole all her boyfriends and Helen refuses to believe her until she gets an entire love confession

Summary
"She missed her. She missed everything about her. She missed talking to her, being able to text her if something reminded her of a random decade-old inside joke, inviting her out every few weeks just to talk the entire time and smile at Helen. She missed having someone who knew her – who knew her faults and fears, and still loved her no matter what.
Now, Helen was stuck in some psychiatric hospital on the other side of the country, and she couldn’t even visit her."
Or
Madeline spends ten years thinking about Helen and everything she could have done differently. She also figures out some personal stuff in the meantime. And when Helen comes back, there's only one thing left for her to do : tell her.

Summary
When Galinda had sent that letter to her parents, she had expected lots of things. "Be kind to your roommate and maybe it'll get better", or even "you could be friends if you wanted to." What she hadn't expected, however, was a "this is exactly how we met !"
But maybe, just maybe, this was a sign. Her mothers certainly seemed to think so.

I felt robbed of Kristin and Idina as Galinda's parents so basically i wrote it

Summary
The night after the Whistledown reveal, Colin has trouble sleeping upon realizing he did not apologize for the things he said after he discovered Penelope was behind the column.
Penelope wants him to talk to her, and that's exactly what he does
-
In other words, I felt like Colin should've apologized to Penelope, or at least tried to explain what he felt, and I just had to write it

Summary
Regina wakes up in the middle of the night after an umpteenth nightmare about the Queen she once was. Except this time, Emma's here for her.
sooo i wrote this when i couldn't sleep, and i had this theory of regina not quite getting over her evil queen days, so i thought why not turn it into whatever this is now
