Summary
Lottie’s voice is delicate as she murmurs, “Don’t go.”
Everything inside her is telling her to run. To get up and go and not look back—to rip off the bandaid.

Summary
And it’s not second nature. Not even close. She can barely see him through the hot, stinging tears clinging to her eyelashes, can barely breathe through the snot without punctuating each inhale in a ragged sniff. It’s like there’s a million invisible hands clawing at her arm, prying at her trembling grip on the wooden handle, cutting themselves open on the blade. Hands don’t scream, but these ones can, and they’re shrieking at her to stop, stop, stop–
Or, doing the right thing hurts like a bitch and there's nothing Nat can do about it (Mari tries, though)

Summary
Emma reaches for Regina’s hand again, but Regina’s moved her ice cream to it instead. “Though, I mean, if I were into women, your mom would definitely be first on my list,” Emma tells Henry.
“I’m flattered,” Regina says dryly.
Her voice sounds a little strained, and Emma tries to lighten the tone. She hadn’t thought Regina would be uncomfortable with the idea of…well, Henry has two mommies, but the Enchanted Forest had seemed a little regressive. “What? Are you saying I’m not on your list?”
“Yes, Emma,” Regina says, and she barks out a choked laugh of her own. “If I were into women, you would definitely be on my list.”
[A year in the lives of Emma and Regina, falling in love all the way through and doing every bit of it backwards.]

Summary
Her fingers flexed on the grip of her launcher as though the question itself had made her uneasy. “People close to me? They don’t stay breathing for long.” The words came out harsher than she’d intended, but they were true, and Jinx’s eyes darted to the ground like she was trying to shove them back where they came from.
OR
Vexil keeps dragging Jinx out of the fire, but sometimes, it’s hard to tell who’s really getting burned.

In the seventies, Wanda decided Westview needed some queer representation. If Agnes hated her husband so much, maybe she’d prefer a wife.

Summary
She knocks her knee against Agatha’s thigh. Agatha looks up at her, eyes guarded and anguished. Still, she manages to roll them.
“Oh, I’m sure seeing me bested by my cunt of a mother and then almost killed just turned you right on.”
“You know me,” Rio says cheerfully. “I’m just an animal.” She winks for good measure.
“You sick freak,” Agatha says, a hint of warmth in her tone.
__
Post 1x05, Rio is concerned AND horny.
