Here's the index of my stories, listed more or less in order of publication. The majority are for the Devil Wears Prada's Andy & Miranda, and more recent works are for Once Upon a Time's Regina & Emma.

If you'd prefer to read almost all of these stories elsewhere, they are now archived at an Archive of Our Own, under the username chilly_flame. I also have a tumblr, so come by and say hi!

Title: The Greatest Gift

Characters: Henry, Emma/Regina

Author: chilly_flame

Rating: PG

Summary: Henry makes a wish that changes everything.

Disclaimer: I own nothing related to Disney/ABC’s Once Upon a Time.

Wordcount: around 15k

Author’s notes: this is based on a prompt from the marvelous writetherest, and written for her generous donation to Hurricane Sandy relief. If the story seems familiar (along with a few very specific details), it ought to! It’s based on “It’s a Wonderful Life,” which is one of my favorite movies. I’ve also realized that lots of my OUAT stories are about characters who make wishes, so I might as well just embrace that. Special thanks to Xander, Lola and Kristen for keeping me on track with this!

Merry Christmas, writetherest. I hope this is all you wished it would be.

title: the curve

author: chilly_flame

rating: M

disclaimer: I own nothing related to Disney/ABC’s Once Upon a Time. And if I did, Regina would get hugged a lot more often.

author’s notes: This story was written for the VERY generous donation of kath9567 on livejournal for the Hurricane Sandy fundraiser. I appreciate all the donations people have made, especially kath9567’s! I have two more stories to produce for this fundraiser, and at least one (if not both) will be holiday themed if I can pull my act together. Otherwise, I suppose Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, right?

I was going to leave my “the line” and “the circle” ‘verse behind, but when I received the prompt, it just seemed to fit. So please consider this the final part of the trilogy. Prompt follows at the end.

Thanks to Lola, Kristen, Tiff, and as always Xander, a team of greatness that makes me better every time.

Title: the circle

Author: chilly_flame

Rating: PG

Length: 5500k, give or take

Disclaimer: I own nothing related to Disney/ABC’s Once Upon a Time. And if I did Regina would get hugged more often.

Summary: a sequel to “the line.” Regina wants to bring Snow and Emma home.

Notes: I’m meant to be working on three Hurricane Sandy stories right now, but this one needed to be completed before I could get started on those. Thanks to Lola, Tiff and Kristen for the cheers!

Hi friends and followers!

I’ve offered up three “buy it now” auctions for Hurricane Sandy Relief through fandomaid at $20 or more. The more you bid, the more I’ll write! Life is busy for me at the moment but I am dedicated to fulfilling any of the three bids I might receive. I have immediate family and in-laws in affected areas of Brooklyn, Staten Island, the Rockaways and the Jersey Coast. In addition, I’ll unofficially match any donations that are made. Mine will go to the Red Cross.

My offers are for Swan Queen or Red Swan Queen, because why not? :D

Thanks in advance for your consideration, and if you’ve already given, thank you a second time! Find my auctions here: http://fandomaid.livejournal.com/5…. 

ETA: Three very kind bids have been posted, and while they have not been officially closed or confirmed by the moderators, I feel pretty good about them. Thanks to my fabulous bidders! I appreciate everyone who is able to give even the smallest amount to the people who are suffering so greatly.

Title: the line

Fandom: Once Upon a Time; Charming POV with Regina & Henry, minor mention of Swan Queen

Rating: G

Length: 2k\

Disclaimer: I own nothing related to Disney/ABC’s Once Upon a Time. And if I did Regina would get hugged more often.

Summary: After the events of “The Doctor,” David goes in search of Regina.

Notes: I’m calling Charming “David” in this story because that’s what Regina calls him during the episode. Thanks to my betas damelola, the-charmings and shemadehimwaffles, as well as my Original Recipe beta Xander, who has been lured into the fandom. Yahoo! 

Title: Awake

Author: chilly_flame

Fandom: Swingtown, Trina/Janet with a side of Tom

Rating: M

Disclaimer: I own nothing related to Swingtown. Except lots of nice thoughts about Trina and Tom.

Summary: Janet’s got a secret, and the Deckers want to do something about it.

Notes: I loved Swingtown, a lot. I wish like heck it had continued, but obviously if that had happened, we wouldn’t have Regina Mills, which would be a bummer. Oh well.

Also, consider this only a brief departure from Swan Queen. I’ll be back soon!
