once upon a time regina

In some fanfictions, Emma and Regina could develop a romantic relationship. Their complex history would add depth to such a story. They might have moments of jealousy when other characters show interest in one of them, and then have to confront their true feelings for each other.

Redemption is a very popular theme. Given Regina's complex character arc in the show, many fanfictions explore her journey towards redemption, how she tries to make up for her past wrongs and find a place in the world where she can be accepted and at peace.

Family relationships are also a big theme. Her relationship with her mother Cora is a central focus in many fanfictions. Writers might explore how Cora's strict upbringing and high expectations affected Regina as a child. Also, her relationship with her father or any other family members can be a theme, showing how her family environment influenced her personality development. It's often a complex and emotional exploration of family dynamics.

Well, it could start with a business - like relationship. Sydney might be working for Regina in some capacity. As they work together on tasks, they begin to see each other's true natures. Regina might see Sydney's loyalty and intelligence, and Sydney might see Regina's complexity and the reasons behind her actions. This new understanding could lead to a deeper emotional connection. They could start to care about each other's well - being more than just for the sake of their working relationship. For instance, Sydney might stand up for Regina when others in the town are being critical of her, and Regina could use her power to help Sydney achieve some of his personal goals.

One possible plot could be that Regina and Sydney start off as reluctant allies. Maybe they are both trying to achieve something in the town of Storybrooke. For example, they might be looking for a magical artifact that could change the balance of power. Along the way, they discover that they have more in common than they thought. Sydney might be able to see past Regina's tough exterior and understand her motives, which are often a mix of self - preservation and a longing for something she lost in the past. As they search for the artifact, they face various obstacles, like other characters who also want the item for their own purposes. This could lead to some tense moments and action - packed scenes as Regina and Sydney have to use their wits and magic (if applicable) to outmaneuver their opponents. In the end, their relationship could develop into a true friendship, or perhaps something more, depending on the direction the fanfiction takes.

Power and its use is another theme. Emma's light magic and Regina's dark magic can be a source of conflict or cooperation. Some fanfictions might show them learning to combine their powers in a balanced way to protect their town and the people they care about.

One possible motivation could be revenge. Pan had caused a lot of trouble in the Once Upon a Time universe. He was manipulative and had endangered many characters. Regina, who had her own history of being wronged, might have seen killing Pan as a way to protect herself and those she cared about.

Regina often develops from a more guarded and controlling character to a more nurturing one. As she raises Emma, she starts to let down her walls. For instance, she may begin to show more vulnerability around Emma, sharing her own past traumas.

Snow White might be initially suspicious, given their past history. But she could also show a more empathetic side and try to help Regina. Hook might be amused and make some snarky comments at first, but then offer his protection. Rumpelstiltskin could see it as an opportunity to manipulate Regina further, perhaps by offering her magic to ensure a safe pregnancy in exchange for favors.

Perhaps in a battle against a long - lost enemy from her past. This enemy could be someone she wronged deeply before her redemption arc, and they come back seeking revenge. In the heat of the battle, she gets fatally wounded. For example, if it was a powerful sorcerer she once betrayed, they might use a spell that drains her life energy.
