OUAT 2x03

[redbrunja]

• I wanted to fucking slap the ever loving fuck out of Henry for asking Regina to lunch and then standing her up. Like, it literally bothers me how much I want to physically hurt a ten-year-old boy. But did you hear Regina's voice? God. And then she took another level in being a decent person and sent Charming to get Henry.
• Not being able to bare a child in not A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH. Man, if my mom (aka MY ONLY FAMILY) died so I could have babies with my True Love instead of getting to have both Mom and True Love and maybe an adopted kid if I really wanted one or possibly several years to explore the magical options for barreness-curse-breaking I WOULD BE SO FUCKING PISSED.
• Best scene of the episode was Snow being all protective and Cora being fake-sweet and Emma being like, 'yeah, I'm in an awkward co-parenting situation with the Evil Queen. You know how that that is.'
• As much as I appreciate how female-dominated the cast of Once is, I really do wish that the writers would let eye candy besides Charming live. Lancelot was hot and black and had hints at an epic, interesting backstory. Once, I wanted to see your take on the Arthur/Guinevere/Lancelot triangle!
• I am sure Mulan's 'nobody gets to be bitchy or criticize Aurora except me' attitude was appreciated by the shippers.

I was really disappointed in Henry too, I thought that he could wait even thirty minutes with the keys in his backpack just to have lunch with her; she IS trying, so hard, when she could just walk over the borderline and start over as some bitter no one somewhere else.

I KNOW, god, priorities with the magic water, AN ARROW IN THE CHEST TAKES PRECEDENCE OVER A POSSIBLE BARRENNESS CURSE. And like, this show is all True Love Wins Out, I'm pretty fucking sure that there would be some magic sparkly conception sex that could overcome it, or whatever.

'yeah, I'm in an awkward co-parenting situation with the Evil Queen. You know how that that is.'

ROTFL best. Emma/Regina just seems damn near to being an actual canon ship, I know I've got my femslash goggles on pretty tight for this show but seriously, they've had a co-life situation since last season's finale. Can't save Henry without being together, can't get magic working without touching, can't keep an eye on Henry without being in the same town, can't give a thought to a love interest because they're too focused on each other.

"can't get magic working without touching" made me actually start laughing as I watched the season opener. someone needs to write the sexier version of that eventually...

God, yes. That would be so beyond fabulous.

What's really tragic? Sometimes I think that would get her a better shot at happiness than she has now. Since season one, I've been saying that in the larger, real world (especially a big city) the things she does well would get her a lot of praise and she'd have the chance to meet people would aren't prejudged against her.

TRIAGE, PEOPLE, TRIAGE.

Pretty much. And what's really sad? I have not been able to find good fic for those two.

Regina could absolutely take her resume and get a job in so many different places, she'd be able to live her own life and be appreciated for her skills. And I'm kind of... surprised? curious? why she hasn't thought of that herself, yet.

Oh god I was at work yesterday, on my work computer, and I clicked on an intriguing-looking Emma/Regina fic where Regina had stepped over the border and lost all her memories, and everyone was keeping her in the dark and saying that Henry had been sent to boarding school since her "accident" and Emma was slowly befriending her, and it was actually kind of decent, with the dynamics...

...and then BAM UNEXPECTED GRAPHIC SEX. Which, I have no objection to, I just like to maybe not read it on my giant work computer monitor in the middle of my open-plan office? And I DO have an objection to Regina asking Emma what she likes when masturbating and Emma has like three vibrators but has no idea where her own clitoris is because it was always too hard to find. I MEAN JESUS CHRIST. I am pretty sure that Emma, not a participant in a women-oppressing cult, probably knows her way around her own nethers. Idek.

You know, it actually makes a lot of sense to me that that option hasn't occurred to Regina. That's a very blow-up-the-box approach to it... plus, I think if she were capable of starting fresh in that way (because she's got to make the choice to wipe her mind clean).... she would have done that before enacting the curse, you know?

Please tell me you have a links, suspect graphic sex notwithstanding.

Oh, fuck yes. Come on, Emma is totally a 'responsible for her own orgasm girl'. She is going to HAVE to know what she likes, to give direction to some of the fuck-ups she's screwed in her past. (I mean, some of them were probably good in bed but I bet a lot needed specific directions.)

Not Forgotten (http://archiveofourown.org/works/545905), here you go. The concept and execution is actually rather well done, even if I wish I had paid enough attention to know not to read it at work. I think there's a new chapter up since I read it but I NEED my porn to be in character for me to want to read it? But I might give it another go anyway in the hopes that Emma and Regina do quickly locate and make good use of Emma's clitoris.

Oooh, thank you! I really enjoyed reading that.
