Title: Aut Vincere aut Mori 
Fandom: Once upon a Time
Paring: Swan Queen
Rating: R 
A/N: AU fic set in ancient Rome. Regina, a Vestal priestess, crosses paths with a mysterious gladiator. Suddenly, her life is not quite the same. Historical!Swan Queen.

Little by little, we’re approaching the end of this epic journey. But, before we get to that, there are still a few hurdles to be cleared first. For the 18th time, a big thank you to kayryn for both fanarts and to mrswoman for the fantastic beta.

what turns you off from a ficAnonymous

Well, one of the main things is formatting, specifically paragraphs. I just cant move past it for some reason. I see some fics that are all aligned to the left and not double spaced and I just go, uh yeah no.

It’s just my own quirk.

Here’s another quirk, I have problems with titles too. If capitalization won’t be used, that’s okay, then don’t capitalize the entire thing. But if you are, just you know, follow its rules.

I usually don’t have much problems with SVA. As long as it isn’t too glaring.

Other things are Gina. There are a couple of fics where I was okay with it, but almost all the time, I stop reading.

Pet names. It is very rare that I am endeared to a fic with them calling each other baby, babe. Especially all the time. In a way, I get Emma might, but Regina? Madam Mayor Regina? No.

The lack of slow burn or just rushed coming together in a fic.

Too much ooc in crack fics. I think the one person who kinda nailed it is seriousfic.

These are personal preferences. I’m sure we all have them. But since you asked for ours, I can’t speak for the rest, but here’s mine. [impeccabledis0rder]

new fic: it’s a metaphor (emma/regina)

36 notes Reblog

bayloriffic:

Anon prompted:Regina watching Emma and Hook practice sword fighting. Hook is being his usual crude self, and Regina gets jealous. One of the others points this out

**

For some reason, Hook is convinced that Peter Pan of all people is some kind of a threat to them all, and he’s taken to offering sword fighting lessons to all aboard.

The only one who takes him up on the offer is Emma, the rest of them apparently smart enough to realize that Hook’s authority on pretty much anything is not to be trusted.

So Hook and Emma spend hours each morning practicing on the upper deck, Charming and Snow taking over the steering of the ship, the two of them easily occupied while their daughter wastes her time waving a piece of metal at an inept pirate.

after watching the trailer to JMo's Event 15 (it looks really good!) can you please post this message so maybe a fan fic writer or two can write Emma as a soldier? Or maybe Emma having been a soldier before becoming a bounty hunter? Or Regina seeing Emma in uniform? Because JMo in uniform is hnnnnnnngggg. Pretty please, writers!Anonymous
