A Story by Datherine100

Set in S3, 4, and 5. Based on the song “All I Need.”

*Tavern*

I’m dying to catch my breath

Oh, why don’t I ever learn?

I’ve lost all my trust, though I’ve surely tried to turn it around

Can you still see the heart of me?

It was a dismal night, as Regina Mills, having been told by Tinkerbelle that her true love was in the tavern, stood outside the tavern. She wanted to believe that she could find love again, but she had doubts about it.

“Look. There he is. The guy with the lion tattoo,” Tinkerbelle said, pointing directly at the guy she would later know as Robin Hood of Locksley.

“That’s him?” she said, her spirit lifting.

“Yes. That’s him. Go on and meet him,” Tinkerbelle urged her.

When Regina asked her to go, saying that she wanted to be left alone, Tinkerbelle obliged.

Regina was about to go in, afraid of what might happen, when she saw a girl come up to him and watched them kiss. Because of that, it upset her and she fled away from the tavern and back home.

*Camelot*

All my agony fades away

When you hold me in your embrace

Don’t tear me down for all I need

Make my heart a better place

It was a nebulous night at the castle in Camelot, as Regina and Robin silently danced together, happy and content. She had finally gotten her happy ending with him.

*Smash The Mirror*

Give me something I can believe

Don’t tear me down

You’ve opened the door now, don’t let it close

It was a dark night in the library in Storybrooke as Regina and Robin stood in front of each other.

“What is it that you were so eager to show me?” she questioned.

He gave her a paper that showed him and Regina kissing outside of the tavern.

“What’s this?” she asked, and unfolded it to see what the picture depicted.

“It’s a possibility of a happy ending.”

“Where’d this come from?” she questioned.

“I don’t know. It just appeared in my bag.”

After talking a few more minutes with her, he said, “We all get a second chance, Regina. You just have to open up your eyes to see it.”

*Twisted Mister*

I’m here on the edge again

I wish I could let it go

I know that I’m only one step away from turning it around

Can you still see the heart of me?

It was a nebulous night, as Regina knelt by Robin’s body after he’d been killed by Hades, and cried. As she did, Zelena knelt by her and tried to comfort her with a hug, in which Regina returned, Zelena also crying over Robin. Regina had loved him, but Zelena had had Robin’s daughter.

*Family Business*

All my agony fades away

When you hold me in your embrace

Don’t tear me down for all I need

Make my heart a better place

Give me something I can believe

Don’t tear me down

Don’t tear it down, what’s left of me

Make my heart a better place

It was a dark night, as Robin and Regina made out in her vault after a curse had been lifted. They loved one another, but he was married to Miriam.

Afterward, when they were putting clothes back on, Regina told him, “This has to stop. You’re married, Robin. What would it look like to your son?”

“It’ll look messy,” he said.

“You have to forget about me.”

“I can’t forget about you when you’re in my life.”

“Which is why I can’t be in your life.”

“That doesn’t change that face that�"“ he started, and then said, “I don’t know what to do! I can’t just fall back into love with Miriam. I love you, Regina.”

*Quiet Minds*

I tried many times but nothing was real

Make it fade away, don’t break me down

I want to believe that this is real

Save me from my fear

Don’t tear me down

Make my heart a better place

It was a beautiful day, as Regina stopped walking and caught the arrow that almost went through her head. She turned around to face the guy who stood a few feet away with a bow.

He held up a hand.

“Apologies, m’lady!” he said, loud enough for her to hear, before going to stand in front of her.

“Apology accepted.”

She gave his arrow back to him.

He took it and told her, “I thought you were the wicked witch.”

When she looked at him closely and saw the tattoo, she said, “Have we met before?”

“I doubt I’d ever forget meeting you.”

*A Curious Thing*

Give me something I can believe

Make my heart a better place

Give me something I can believe

Don’t tear it down, what’s left of me
