Summary: When Regina leaves, it’s with the promise she’ll return.



When Regina leaves Maleficent’s castle, going back to her fool husband and incompetent teacher, it’s with the promise she’ll return. A promise sealed with a kiss.

Regina’s uncertain but willing, body curving towards Maleficent’s. Mal’s testing her new protégée, seeing what else she might show Regina. Magic lessons are a start, but they’re so impersonal, not appreciative enough for Regina’s help in regaining her fire.

“I—”

Mal shushes Regina with another kiss, a gentle hand on her lower back. “You want vengeance, darling? I’ll show you every way to get it. And I’ll show you how to enjoy yourself in the process. You don’t want to end up like me, do you? A dragon without her fire, hidden away from the world, a lone tree representing the best of what she was.” Stepping back, she evaluates the girl.

Regina looks at her, those dark eyes full of hope and a tiny bit of … curiosity? “I don’t understand.”

“Vengeance is fine, but you have to live for more. After I cursed Briar Rose, I had nothing to look forward to.”

“I see.” Regina doesn’t, not yet, but she will.

Mal crooks a finger, and Regina leans forward, now curious and willing. Their lips meet in a magic of their own, Mal’s experience and eagerness meeting Regina’s innocence and fledgling hunger. The girl’s eyes are brighter when they part after another kiss, this one initiated by Regina.

When Regina leaves, it’s the first time they say good-bye, but it’s not the last.

I’m late to Once Upon A Time, so I've missed all the LJ communities and such. Can anyone tell me active communities, and/or active femslash communities? Or where fic is posted these days? Thanks!

YESSS THIS IS WHAT I'M HERE FOR.

There's way more happening on A03 than LJ these days for OUAT and other femmeslash goodness, I'm afraid.

Thank you! I watched OUAT just for this ship :D

I figured. I've posted a few of my newer things on AO3, but for inactive fandoms so I didn't get a real sense of how active it is. Thanks again!

Very nice!

Allow me to introduce you to a lovely comm ran by a friend, [livejournal.com profile] abc_onceupon. There's some fic -- they used to run a weekly prompt/challenge during hiatus time -- and lots of polls/games/interactive activities. Also a picture of the day. I hope you'll find something of interest.

Very nice indeed, I love the promise of more held in all of Mal's words. :)
