There's also a fanfic titled 'The Snow Queen's Redemption'. In this story, the Snow Queen is not entirely the villain. Emma discovers there are more layers to her, and they end up forming an unlikely alliance. It's really interesting to see how their characters develop together throughout the story.
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.
One great Hook Emma fanfiction is 'A Pirate's Heart'. It beautifully captures the chemistry between them. The story takes them on an adventure where they have to face many challenges together, which deepens their relationship.
One of the most common characters paired with Emma is Hook. Their relationship has a lot of chemistry, and many fanfictions explore their romantic connection further. There's also Regina, and they can be paired in different ways. Sometimes as friends who learn to trust each other, other times in more complex relationships.
One popular theme is Emma's journey of self - discovery. In many fanfictions, she embarks on a path to understand her true self, her powers, and her place in the story's world. Another theme is her relationships, like her romantic relationships which are often explored in great detail. There can also be themes related to family, as she discovers more about her family ties and how they shape her.
In the fanfiction, perhaps Emma's pregnancy is a magical one. Maybe it was the result of some long - lost magic that got reawakened. Hook would be both excited and a bit scared. They could go on a journey to find a way to ensure the baby's safety in a world full of magic and curses. And Emma might struggle with her usual role as a savior while being pregnant, but Hook would be there to support her every step of the way.
One character often paired with Emma could be her mother. Their relationship can be a central focus, showing how her mother cares for her as a baby and the bond that develops over time. Another could be Henry. They have a special connection in the 'Once upon a time' universe, and in the fanfiction, he might play an important role in Emma's life from an early age.
Well, perhaps the fanfiction could focus on Hook's backstory related to the birth. Maybe he had some past experiences that make him extra cautious during Emma's pregnancy. For example, he might have witnessed a difficult birth in his pirate days that scarred him. So when it's Emma's turn, he's constantly on edge. The plot could then revolve around him coming to terms with his fears and being there for Emma as she gives birth.
A baby fanfiction about Emma and Hook could involve their journey into parenthood. Maybe it would start with the discovery of Emma's pregnancy. They'd have to deal with the joys and fears that come with it. Hook might be overprotective, given his past losses. And they'd face challenges from the magical world they live in, like protecting the baby from dark magic threats.
The 'hurt/comfort' trope is quite prevalent too. For example, when Hook gets injured and Emma takes care of him, or vice versa. It shows their deepening connection. Also, the 'time - travel' trope can be found, where they might go back in time and experience events that change their relationship in the present. This adds an interesting layer of complexity to their story.
