sweet girl
Ooft. So this has been sitting in my WIP since 2017. It started as a birthday present for @hollie47, who at the time was big into OUAT and Ruby/Regina, but then it kind of spiralled into its own thing.
It has an outline on the first page, which is rare for fics written by me, so I can tell I really and truly genuinely wanted to finish this one! Kinda sad it didn't get there yet.
Here's a snippet:
She returned with a thick slice of sweet apple pie, a swirl of whipped cream and a cherry on top. She set the plate down on the table and offered Regina a wide grin. “Anything else?”
“You forgot my drink,” Regina said coolly. “And I don’t like cherries.”
“My mistake,” Ruby replied, plucking it off and popping it in her mouth. The burst of sweet juice made her smile. She returned to behind the counter, grabbing a glass and pouring a generous drink. She and Regina had been doing this for a while now, this little back-and-forth of an evening when Regina came in. There was an undeniable beauty about the woman; most of the town feared her, but Ruby found herself curious as to what the polished façade hid away. And she was a generous tipper; something Ruby appreciated greatly. If she was being honest, she had something of a schoolgirl crush on the older woman, and their little interactions were the brighter part of her days.
Ruby brought the drink back to the mayor’s booth, swallowing the last of the cherry, her tongue working at the stem. She held it between her lips, tied into a little knot, just enough for Regina to catch a glimpse of before she slipped it back into her mouth. Regina offered her a smile. “Thank you, Ruby. That’s all.”

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
*******************************
“I’ve been meaning to ask you something, Regina,” Snow says, slurring her words ever-so-slighty as she toys with the peeling label on her second beer of the night. She leans heavily against a stone sober Emma, the designated driver for the latest installment of their bimonthly girls night out, who rolls her eyes affectionately at her mother’s rookie tolerance for alcohol.
“What’s that, dear?” Regina replies, chin resting in her left hand, eyes just this side of glassy but happy after three fingers of top shelf bourbon.
“What are the rings for?” Snow asks, gesturing with the beer at Regina’s right hand and the three ribbed platinum rings circling her thumb through ring fingers.
Regina feels Ruby’s hand move beneath hers, a reflexive response that elicits an uncharacteristically dopey smile. While they have been together almost four months now, she has yet remained wary of public displays of affection, which have never really been her cup of tea. She blames the lapse in control on alcohol induced sentimentality, and also on Ruby’s maddeningly infectious tactility.
“Probably because she likes them,” Emma interjects as she wipes at a spot of alcohol her mother had sloshed onto her jeans.
“Well, Ruby most certainly does,” Regina wistfully answers, then wiggles the fingers in absentminded suggestion, totally oblivious that she had spoken aloud what was supposed to be only a thought.
“Really? That surprises me,” Snow replies, utterly and adorably ignorant of the subtext and the awkward silence that had suddenly fallen over their previously lively commiseration. “I always took her for a cocktail kind of girl.”
The response just sort of slips out of Regina before she can stop it.
“Believe you me, she likes that, too. Such a snug fit...”
She becomes painfully aware of her mistake when, simultaneously, Zelena begins cackling uncontrollably, Belle emits a scandalized gasp, Emma nearly chokes on the water she had just sipped on, and Ruby squawks out an indignant, “Regina! Oh, my God, you did not just say that out loud!”
A blush spreads over Regina’s face when she realizes what she’s done. And if had not been for Snow’s outrageously oblivious response, she might have been horrified at the embarrassing – for both herself and Ruby – and otherwise regrettable verbal miscue. Maybe. Probably not.
“Oh!” Snow squeals merrily as whatever was left of decorum at their table evaporates. “I just had the best idea, Ruby! I’ll come over some time this week and we can compare sizes like we used to in the palace!”
“Mom, for the love of God, please just stop,” Emma groans as everyone else bursts into raucous laughter.
“What? I just wanna see how big Ruby’s are. I bet Regina’s got her some real whoppers…”

Ruby turned to watch the disgruntled mayor of Storybrooke gingerly step her way around the uneven ground between them. "I did tell you you might want to change your footwear."
"Oh yes, because I knew we were going to traipse around the forest." Regina stopped next to her, brushing her hair back before levelling Ruby with a sharp look. "Nor did you see fit to tell me, either."
"Where would be the fun in that?" Ignoring Regina's glare, Ruby shook her head, smiling. "But to answer your previous question, you're just going to have to wait until we get there."

A bunch of Once characters take on the role of more than one disney/fairytale character, right?
Rumplestiltskin is also the Beast from the beauty and the beast, and the crocodile from peter pan.
Cora is the queen of hearts and the miller's daughter.
Ruby is red riding hood, the big bad wolf and rose red from Snow White and Rose Red.
So would Ella, as Tiana's best friend, be taking on the role of Charlotte (Tiana's friend in princess and the frog) in addition to being Cinderella?

(Doesn't have to be Pezberry. Your choice.) "So. What do you think?"
"So. What do you think?"

Ruby pressed her hand to her lips. "I think," she finally ventured, curling her carafe of coffee into her side, shifting her weight onto one foot, "That you are one iron willed woman who doesn't need permission."
Rolling her eyes, Regina sat back, crossing her leg and taking a sip of her coffee. "I can hear your laughter. If you don't have a real response..." she rolled her wrist, "Then, begone. See to your other customers."
Giving Regina wink, Ruby turned away. "Aye aye, madam mayor."
And, though she couldn't see it, she knew Regina was nursing a pleased smirk.
