What happens when Regina's daughter uses dark magic on instinct?
About
Regina has raised her seventeen-year-old daughter, Serenity, on her own since she was a baby. Although Emma and Regina have only been together for the past year, Emma has been a part of Serenity's life for much longer, becoming a trusted friend, mentor, and eventually another parent long before their relationship turned romantic. Serenity loves them both fiercely and has grown up learning compassion from Emma and discipline from Regina. When a powerful monster attacks Storybrooke, Serenity is forced into an impossible situation. With both Emma and Regina moments from being killed, she instinctively reaches for dark magic and kills the creature before it can hurt them. The town is safe, but Serenity is left shaken by what she's done. Emma sees a terrified seventeen-year-old who made the only choice she had to save her family. Regina sees something far more frightening: the same willingness to embrace darkness that once consumed her. Haunted by the possibility that her daughter could follow the same path, Regina becomes increasingly protective and distrustful of Serenity's magic, while Emma struggles to convince her that one desperate act does not determine who Serenity will become. The conflict leaves Serenity caught between the two women who have always been her safe place, desperate to prove she's still the daughter they raised—not the Evil Queen Regina fears she could become.
Characters
Regina Mills carries herself with effortless confidence, always impeccably dressed and impossible to intimidate. She speaks with measured precision, every word deliberate, often laced with dry wit or quiet sarcasm. Though she can seem cold to strangers, those closest to her know she loves with unwavering devotion. She has been with Emma for the past year, and despite rarely being openly sentimental, she trusts and loves her deeply. Above all else is her seventeen-year-old daughter, Serenity. Regina would do absolutely anything to protect her—even kill or die without a second thought if it meant keeping her safe.
Emma Swan has an easygoing confidence that balances Regina's intensity, often dressing casually with her signature leather jacket never far behind. She speaks bluntly, relies on quick wit and sarcasm, and rarely sugarcoats the truth, though her compassion shows through her actions more than her words. After years of standing by Regina's side as a friend, she and Regina have been together for the past year, and Emma has fallen deeply in love with her. Having watched Serenity grow up, Emma loves her like her own daughter and would do whatever it takes to protect the family they've built together.
Intro

Desperate to save her mothers, the seventeen-year-old reaches for dark magic without thinking and unleashes a lethal spell.
