the interactions and the story between the two of them would make so much more sense and

such a wonderful love story!!!

They challenge and complete each other. They understand the way in which they think. They believe in each other and the way that their magic work best when they are together. They
both put their son ahead of themselves.
The characters have amazing chemistry and complement each other perfectly. If one was a male, then it would be canon. Emma can heal Regina and vice versa.
Their potential relationship would be beautiful and tie the show together. They're both powerful, incredible women who'd be fascinating together.
I think it could be a beautiful relationship. The fanfic is great. They're eye candy, for sure.
I started because Regina (Lana) and Emma (Jmo) had such amazing chemistry in their scenes, like they used to get off on arguing and as time passed and their "relationship" developed
they became team moms which is just as awesome.
They are just perfect for each other. Swan Queen is the definition of True Love and nobody will make me think otherwise. I saw it from the very first episode and I'm not about to give up on
them but when I saw all these Outlaw Queen and Captain Swan bullshit throw at us.. I'm slowly drawing under a sea of nonsense.
I ship SwanQueen because they work so perfectly together. Emma gives gives Regina her second chance by instinct, she doesn't even need to think about it. This woman is Regina- not
the Evil Queen. Regina works so hard to break down Emma's walls and to get her to realise her full potential.
The main reason is a premise of the show: 'love is the most powerful magic of all' and Emma and Regina are the only ones that have made magic even without a kiss. They are equals
and they deserve a partner who is worthy of their love and until now, no one has merits for it. Moreover, they can build a family that could be a good example for the society: two mothers
that love unconditionally their son, regardless if one of them is an adoptive parent or despite her past because she can change thanks to the true love. And how poetic is that the path for
redemption is through the love of Snow White's daughter, so in that way, Emma can repair the pain done and give to Regina a happy ending. There are a lot of many reasons but the most
important of them all is that Swan Queen is the only couple that makes sense in the show. Writers can say countless times SQ is unintentionally, but their own script, although they don't
want to do it on purpose, is describing a destiny that joins Emma and Regina again and again. And that's the power of love.
It's the perfect fairy tale romance. The Savior and the Evil Queen, saving each other, saving themselves, uniting to form a family with their son. It all fits so beautifully, and everything we
see along the way points to SQ being endgame. Everything from their shared magic which only the power of True Love can explain, to the incredible relationship they've developed over
three seasons. And that's just the surface of the ship. This passionate fandom has pieced together so much mind-blowing subtext. For a show that revels in Easter eggs and increasingly
intricate stories, there's too much there to ignore. It's all one elaborate crowd-sourced puzzle. SWEN is unlike any other fandom I've joined, and it's been a blast! On top of all that, I'm
rooting for Swan Queen to blow the doors off of heteronormative expectations. So much of the general audience takes media representation totally for granted. They just assume these
characters are all straight, and the they will all end up in heterosexual relationships. Many openly belittle anyone who dares to believe SQ has a shot at becoming a canon. It would be
incredibly satisfying to see two female leads defying all expectation, in developing a full fledged subtext-to-maintext romance, just like any other power couple on TV.
The main reasons are that Emma and Regina have so many moments together, the way they look at each other, they believe in each other, and they and Henry are a family. The moment
that really made me ship Swan Queen was the midseason finale, when they were tearfully saying goodbye and Regina gave Emma happy memories.
Because of the innuendo on the show, the incredible tension between the two characters
Chemistry between the actors, and let's face it, if it had been Emmett Swan, this ship would have sailed already
Their connection is very evident, with the relationship developing briskly. the most evidence can be found at the late part of 3ep11 and the rest of S3 second half, but the connection they
share is just unmistakable.
LP and JMo have insane chemistry, and what better ending that the savior and the evil queen falling in love and raising their son together.
Emma and Regina would greatly benefit from having a relationship from one another. They have an understanding of one another's situation growing up and the consequences of that.
They would complete one another as well as share a child. And they make for an incredibly interesting story, if told right.
Swan Queen feels organic, natural and is practically palpable at some points. Emma and Regina have the most (in my opinion) fleshed out characters on the show. Their backstories are
interesting, but don't define them. Their dynamic is simultaneously thorny and endearing. I mean, they already share a son in a very unconventional way, and it works! What would be so
bad about letting the nature of that relationship shift into something more.
Both are perfrct for each other and is the first lesbian couple I've seen in the tv (before Rizzles and more)
I ship Swan Queen because Regina and Emma genuinely seem to care about each other. Both of them have come so far a grown so much as people just in these few short years, and a
lot of that has to do with knowing each other, and learning to co-parent Henry.
I ship Swan Queen because of the beautiful story it could and is telling. Two mothers who get a second chance at love. They both love Henry more than anyone else in the world. He's the
one who brought them together. This could be the most epic love story ever written and it would never be forgotten. The Savior saves the Evil Queen and together they learn to trust and
love again through each other and their son.
Love, family, modern fairytale, overcoming difficulty, seeing each other for who they truly are. Extreme hotness, compatibility and HBsIC!
Because it's the best story. It makes sense. They could learn together without either having the upper hand. They are equals.
THE best storyline on ONCE. THE SAVIOR and THE EVIL QUEEN. Daughter of the woman who was responsible for the death of Regina's first love, full circle. Plus I'm sure the
unbelievable chemistry between the actresses would actually set my tv on fire if they ever became canon.
Regina and Emma's chemistry. Gorgeous women. Great fandom (art, fanfiction, videos, theories, meta, etc.). Makes sense. I really want a gay disney princess who falls for a strong
awesome lady who isn't your everyday romantic interest. I want to see them get their happy ending and show that I could toothat gives me hope. Eyesex. Banter. They challenge each
other. Swan-Mills family.
Considering that I'm straight - and that I'm French and in France, we don't have the same quotas and expectations as in the US about representation of skin colors or sexuality - it was
never something about representation and same-sex couple. I just thougt the characters had great chemistry and, storywise, the Savior-who-is-supposed-to-save-everyone and the
Evil-queen-who-cursed-everyone-for-love, united by a son, had great potential for a beautiful love story.
I have many reasons for shipping Swan Queen and most of them have nothing to do with the fact that they share a son. I ship Swan Queen because of who they are as individuals and
who they are as a potential couple. Both are strong women, they both feel deeply, they both care for their family, would die for Henry, would protect their own with every fiber of their being.
What are the reasons why you ship Swan Queen?

Regina and Emma are both very similar, but still different. They complement each other very well. They both had a very hard childhood, they both at one point thought they couldn't be
good enough for someone to love them unconditionally and they both still suffer with the fact that at one point or another the people that were supposed to care for them, gave them up. Be
it for power, for the greater good, for another child, for a royal status, they were abandoned and they felt lonely for most of their lives. They have both made some mistakes in the past and
have been trying to be better people. They understand each other, even when they argue, they understand each other. They have come a long way from punching one another to unite for
common goals. They communicate, even when they don't see eye-to-eye. They know how to find common ground. Usually it's about protecting Henry and the town. No matter what
happens, they will always be connected because of Henry and because, one was meant to cast the curse and the other was meant to break it. If this doesn't sound like the makings of a
great love story, then I don't know what does. Then we see that Regina gives both Emma and Henry good memories, a good life (a Happy Beginning of sorts), and that was the most
beautiful and heartfelt gift anyone could have ever given them. It was selfless. Regina has never thrown it in anyone's face what she's done since trying to be a better person, she doesn't
even expect a thank you. I don't even know if she believes she deserves one, which she really does. And quite honestly the most wonderful moment in the entire show between the two, in
my opinion was when Regina gave them a new life. Regina kept her promise, they would live a happy life. If it wasn't for the fact that Emma needed to come back to Storybrooke, then
they would still be living a life Regina gave them, a happiness none have known for a while. Thank goodness they came back an have their memories, but that doesn't take away what
Regina did. I believe that, if given a chance, this pairing could be the most wonderful thing to happen on this show. LGBTQ youth have been wanting to see something that they can
identify with on this show, they want to know that a Happy Ending can happen for same-sex couples as well as heterosexual couples. I don't see a better opportunity to do this, than by
having Swan Queen be endgame. I love how a relationship takes time to develop, so if the showrunner decide to make Swan Queen happen, then I hope we get the chance to see the
development.
Because of the confusion I got when I watched 121 (the first episode I watched with Emma and Regina in the same scene). I thought they were divorced mommies with a kid and that's
when I thought they should end up together.
It just makes sense.
it is closure and the perfect happy ending. The saviour saves the evil queen who saves her right back. Also i feel as though they are the only characters who see each other as people and
not just the silly title they were given.
- They're both Henry's mothers and it's good for Henry to have a stable family to stay with (not going back and forth). - Both of them together have always shown great strength. - They
both do magic together and "True love is magic." - Their troubled pasts can be resolved beautifully between them two. - The fact that Emma's lie detector works with Regina says a lot. -
Working together always brings success. Being together for each other and not for everyone else would be even better.
CHEMISTRY, GREAT STORYLINE THAT THE WRITERS COULD EXPLORE, LESBIAN
The eye sex, hello! The chemistry between the two women is off the charts.
It depicts a healthy merged family relationship.
It started as "Henry has two mommies!" jokes, but watching them over the seasons they really are great for each other. The way they take care of Henry together and the way that they
support each other is very loving. And of course there's the long, lingering looks.
The unconscious actions that Emma and Regina have displayed show that they deeply care about what happens to each other. The way their magic works together also says something
about their chemistry.
Family dynamic. Representation of equality and hope.
Chemistry is explosive. I think they are suited to each other. They are a family because of Henry, it would be nice if the relationship was romantic.
Their chemistry!
They're gorgeous in mind/body/spirit
Chemistry Tension Obviously good for each other Henry's moms Redemption
They both love Henry and they have grown to love each other.
They are equal to each other. The other ships that they are both involved in (outlaw queen, captain swan, etc.) don't feel equal to me I guess. Also the way that their relationship has
developed from season one to now just makes me care more about them than any other characters and relationships. To me they just seem to fit.
There's two many oh my god. There's a bit of an answer in my previous reply, but in general, it's their chemistry. The way they react to one another. And mostly, when it comes to Regina,
Emma's in part to her redemption. She would not be who she is without Emma's presence. Emma was her unravelling, and she was a thorn in her side, but she was also an aid to her.
They're the focus of the story. Emma, Regina (and Henry) are the core. Emma and Regina have so much in common, and they seem to bring out the best in one another, as well as Henry
bringing out the best of them as well. Emma decided to be a mother to Henry, Regina decided to change for Henry, and Emma believed Regina when no one else did, and Regina helped
push Emma with her magic, with Henry. No matter what, it's these three the story always comes back to. They're too important to ignore.
Best chemistry between Jmo and Lana and their relationship would be beautiful considering both of their history
I ship Swan Queen, because Jen and Lana have great chemistry that I see as romantic / sexual. I find the idea of the Evil Queen / adoptive mother and the Savior / birth mother falling in
love to be unique and intriguing. I just see something between these two characters that I don't see between them with their male love interests. Their connection feels more organic, not
rushed or forced.
Family, understanding, the ability to grow together.
They belong together
Its the Savior saving the Evil Queen from herself, I love it!
Because it's so epic and beautiful and simple on its complexity. You don't see love stories like theirs, it's not a couple that is obvious that will happen but when you stop for a moment and
think how amazing it would be, that's when you are sold.
It's the most interesting pairing on the show. the plots are good enough to actually hold my attention
I think it would make a truly beautiful story about love, redemption, and second chances. Regina and Emma are two sides of the same coin. I love stories where two characters hate each
other and then fall in love.
They would be really cute together. I loved the fire they had in season 1 and I like how in this season they are working together to defeat Zelena and protect Henry. So I also think it would
be lovely to see a Swan-Mills family. I also think that Emma and Regina make so much sense logically as each other's happy endings.
Because it ties up all the loose ends in the neatest way possible, and because of the representation.
They're obviously in love and made for each other.

I think both characters have their own merits, so I love them both. I see the chemistry the two actresses share, and I am very much drawn to the idea of the family they could form. I like
the idea of them together because of the power dynamic between them. Too often, relationships on TV follow the strong partner- weak partner dynamic. I would love to see two strong,
powerful women in each other's corner for once. Also, I just think they would make a cute couple :)
What better love story than the Evil Queen and the Savior.
The chemistry is off the charts, they share a son, and their relationship is developing so beautifully even now.
The ship makes the most sense given who the characters are, their stories and their development
- they are equals - they have great chemistry - they are opposites that compliment each other - they understand each other - they are strongest together - it would be the best thing for
Henry - they look very VERY good together - they care deepy for each other and Henry - great LGBT representation on tv - SQ fandom is amazing - the fanfiction is art like omg - The Evil
Queen saved by the Savior - Mayor Mills and Sherrif Swan - They were both destined to be the evil and the good - They both have trust issues - Lana and Jmo - All the secret signs and
parallels EVERYTHING
Everything. I could write an entire dissertation on why I ship SQ so I'll make it very short and sweet. They are amazing together. They are Henry's moms. And anyone with even an
OUNCE of intelligence knows that if one of them were a man then SQ would be endgame, no questions asked.
I look at them and I see so many things that lead to the most epic love story of all. I see Regina, who can give Emma the home and family she has always wanted. I see Emma, who until
recently was the only person to place her total trust in Regina when no one else would. They just make sense. They make magic together with their love.
The chemistry between the two of them. How they make magic together. How it's gone from 'my son' to 'our son', and how Henry is always their main priority. The way that they see each
other as Emma and Regina instead of 'The Saviour' and 'The Evil Queen'. The way they let each other take the lead. "I give you good memories". "I believe her". The episode 'Witch Hunt'.
There's too much really.
I don't even like Emma canonically, but their story just makes sense man!
(see above question)
The chemistry between the characters is incredible and it would make for such great storytelling. Also, let's be real, the idea of the two of them together is so hot, I mean, come on!
They would work beautifully together. We've already seen how they make magic together. They both love Henry to pieces (share a true love). Emma "saving" the Evil Queen. It's a
FUCKING FAIRYTALE. If Adam and Eddy have this planned out, Emma and Regina won't be together for awhile.
They are connected, they are opposites in ways, but have so much in common simultaneously. They can light a fire in the other, having visible and obvious chemistry. I believe they could
potentially be an epic romance if allowed to go that direction.
I've seen the show.
I believe they have the most complex and well-developed relationship. Them falling in love with each other would make a unique and fulfilling story. Also as a lgbt supporter I find this a
perfect opportunity to include such pairing into stories that are about fairy tales because in fairy tales people often see themselves in it, their reflection and how they fit into the story. So I
think it would be great if also lgbt could get the representation and feel like they could get a happy ending.
They're so alike, they've gone through similar situations (feeling/being abandoned, losing hope, searching hope) so they obviously understand each other, they see each other as
something more than their titles of Savior and Evil Queen, they both love Henry and want what's best for him. Aaand they're really hot together.
Whenever Emma and Regina share a scene, regardless of the nature of their interaction, I sense a connection between them that I just don't know how to explain otherwise. Even when
they were "enemies", there was always a firm foundation of mutual respect. Besides all that, they are literally Henry's two Moms. Queer people, particularly queer youth, desperately need
realistic representation in popular media, and, intentional or not, these characters display a natural pattern of interaction that mirrors the budding romance of two adult women. Had a
same-sex couple been featured on a prime-time family show when I was growing up, I would have found hope at a time when I needed it just to hold on; I ship Swan Queen because I
know there are kids watching today just I did whose lives may very well depend on Swan Queen.
It is hope to me. It's the possibility of two moms having a troubled past becoming each others true loves. Their story writes itself. The savior saving the Evil Queen.
They are two beautiful women, full of history and development in their relationship, a beautiful son that both love dearly, the sexual tension is huge and the chemistry between both is
magnificent, and there is a lot of subtext that makes me ship it. Plus, I wanna see the look in Snow White's face when she finds out.
Just because I think this storyline is epic! It seems to me that these characters are created for each other. As characters, they seem different, but they are so much alike. They complement
each other. They are equal. And sharing a kid makes it all complete.
best character chemistry. its a genuine good story idea, even on its own. better fairytale idea for the modern society would be good to see on tv.
The chemistry between them was what caught my attention at first, and then their history, what it would mean if they got together and the development of their relationship sealed the deal.
It just makes sense. It would make sense to have both of Henry's moms in his life for equal amounts of the time. The way the writers have built their relationship, it would make sense to go
in that direction. Plus their chemistry is killer.
It would be a beautiful story. It is a beautiful story. The Evil Queen and the Savior. It writes itself. There is no doubt in my mind that there wouldn't even be a question as to the legitimacy or
eventuality of a Swan Queen relationship if one of them was a man.
I ship it because it represents a chance for a happy ending for those of us that are gay.how many shows deny that chance. how many tell us we have no chance or that its ripped away. It
would be the best love story and twist on a fairy tale to date.
Cause Jmo and Lana give eachother the "I think I'm in love" eyes almost every episode :D
Chemistry, the mutual respect, Emma has ALWAYS believed Regina even when she probably shouldn't have. They make magic together HUGE lesbian trope (like with Willow and Tara in
Buffy), and the situation with Henry just makes it perfect. Plus in the superficial way they're hot.
The chemistry and the subtext
They have so much chemistry between them, and a common cause (Henry), and they light up the screen when they are on together.
THEY ARE SO IN LOVE THEY'RE JUST COWARDS NOT TO TELL EACHOTHER
Swan mills family feels, sexual tension, eye sex, ultimate love story- evil queen and saviour, cute, team moms.
I described above some reasons like the looks they share and conversations they have (nobody invades personal space like that in real life if they dont want to tease you sexually). I saw
the first few episodes then O went to tumblr and I saw a lot of interpretations and slow motion gifs of SQ scenes. And first I was confused because in my from society brainwashed brain I
didn't even see the possibility at first of those two women being together and actually raising Henry together as a romantically couple. But then I rewatched the episodes and noticed the

most subtle looks, glares, eye movements and expression and the more episodes I watched the more obvious it got that Regina and Emma are attracted to each other. They may not
realize it but when Emma rescued Regina from the fire and later from the wraith I was sure that she cared about Regina. In my head there come up this perfect picture of Regina and
Emma being Henry's moms together. The whole first and second season it was a fight between them about Henry and I was at a point that I was very frustrated because Henry wants both
of his moms (even if he was very very mean to Regina I have to admit) every kid does want his mom who raised him and I get that he wants Emma two. So I wished for Henry and for
those stubborn idiots that Emma and Regina can be to open their eyes and see their little family as the thing they all need the most. Emma is longing for a home and Regina is craving for
love. Both are emotionally very closed up and don't trust easily. They both have walls as high as a skyscraper. But still they get underneath each other's skin. Their chemistry is
outstanding. When they interact I can't stop seeing them as a divorced couple sometimes. I also see Emma being perfect for Regina because she (and Henry) is the only one who can
stop Regina falling back in evil queen mode but who is still accepting her dark side (watch Season 3A for that) besides that Emma was the first one to actually believe in Regina and not
seeing her as the villain. She is the one giving her a second chance. She is the one who invites her to the towns party. She is the one who notices Regina's absence. She is the one
reaching out for her. Then there is Regina who challenges Emma. She gives Emma the opportunity to show her potential, to be the great person she actually can be, she encourages
Emma to learn magic because she sees all the things in Emma and believes in her even if Emma doesn't. There was a quote that Emma is the ying to Regina's yang. And that is just true.
And together they can even stop the unstoppable with their magic (hint: true love is the most powerful magic of all). I ship swan queens because of family, belief in each other, storyline
logic, chemistry and those endless parallels the writers are giving us I won't elaborate now because that could fill at least 20 essays.
1) the looks they give each other 2) the understanding they have with each other 3) it's insanely cute 4) there's a ton of chemistry between them
just how they look at each other and interact too, along with how they each treat Henry. how they are two sides of the same coin.
I ship SwanQueen because I can not fathom the beauty behind the savior saving the one person who needs it most, the evil queen. And what better way than true love. Also you can
totally see them having eye sex.
It's obvious the physical attraction and emotional conection they have.
More lesbian representation on tv. And come on, they're adorable together.
Gender shouldn't matter in true love. They are perfect for each other, true equals in every way. Plus they share a son and Swan-Mills family is the best.
Everything about it makes narrative sense - both Henry's mothers, the whole slap-slap-kiss trope, the building trust and respect, Regina's redemption tying in with Emma's growing
confidence... Also, the actresses have amazing chemistry.
hello. good vs evil and redemption arc.
Their chemistry. The chance to have a NEW love story. It's something interesting, never done before and inventive. It makes me passionate and entertained. The community who ship it
are all amazing people with talents which I couldn't even imagine before. It would be magical if it was endgame.
Several reasons but mainly because of Swan Queen's representation for the lgbtq+ community in televison.
Chemistry, the potential of a very good story to tell, they make a good team and would be the solution to their problem about who takes care of Henry. Both of them!
I ship Regina and happiness. I'm not a huge fan of Emma, but as long as Regina is happy, I'm happy. Plus, they really do have chemistry.
Their chemistry, their family, just the way they treat each other and how they act and how amazing of an ending it would be,
The fact no matter what, they were always going to cross paths, they HAD to be in each others future no matter what. They challenge eachother, they share a son, a bond. They
understand one another.
For me, Lana and Jen's chemistry was undeniable and I love the idea of Regina's true love being the Savior as she needs saving from the darkness that corrupted her heart after Daniel.
They make the most sense over other love intersts like Hook or Robin and they already share a son.
They are a well written couple, that demonstrate that love is the most powerful force of all, and it doesn't matter that family is connected by blood you can find family in every person.
Because of their chemistry. They just FEEL like they belong together. And then you factor in the elegance of the story, the evil queen and the savior, the yin and yang, the fact that they
share a son. Having been at odds ad learning to work together. It's truly beautiful.
Emma and Regina are so similar, they have both been hurt so much in their lives and I feel like they could save each other. The saviour saving the evil queen. How perfect.
I ship swan queen because they both love henry, they both broke the curse with a true loves kiss (HENRY). If another curse takes place, there no doubt that it has to be another true love
kiss ( REGINA AND EMMA). Who else could it be. when snow and charming kiss they dont break the curse, when emma and hook kissed they didnt break the curse, when regina and
robin kissed they didnt break the curse. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
It would be a great representation of LGBT in the media. Also, how can you not. The chemistry is undeniable. And it would be a great 'plot twist'
It's just... them. The entire programme is based around them, the entire concept. Because they look at each other like they've never seen anything more precious in their lives. Because
they have passion, apart and together. Because Swan-Mills family. Because they make magic together. Honestly, it just makes sense.
The weird chemistry that they have.
In tv shows and movies, body language and non verbal contact says everything. The writers can say it's unintentional but why would they highlight all of the romantic like body language
between Emma and regina. You dont look at someone the way they look at each other and say they dont have feelings for one another. Emma looks at regina like how I look at my
girlfriend. And my girlfriend looks at me the way regina looks at Emma. Im in a loving relationship. Therefore, I know the beginnings of love when I see it.
Because they love Henry. Because they make the most powerful magic together. Because they are alike, they just get each other. And they are freaking cute and hot at the same time
Eye chemistry, The looks, the magic they make together, the concern between them, the love hate relationship, it would be a beautiful ending... Henry's 2 moms fall in love! I feel like that
would be the perfect build up to true love. And the parallels between Snow and Charming are ah!
It gives hope to the younger gay community and not everything is Heterosexually based and homosexual couples can be happy as well. That is okay to be gay. Plus it always shows that
bad people can get second chances too.
Because its about choice, and its about something that was build, and its about poetry, how beautiful would it be if the woman who "killed" Regina's first love was the responsible to bring
to life her new one.
The chemistry, the subtext, the only logic in the world that would make sense, the fact that they are equals in every sense and connected by so much.
It's a logical development and ending for there family (swan-mills) The chemistry between them two.
It just makes sense and it's modern and original
They're perfect together, their chemistry, they have Henry in common, they past, every moment they see each other, they believe in each other, they even make magic together

Way too many to list but the main reasons would be their common ground, their ability to challenge each other and realize their potentials, how easily they can read each other sometimes,
how they share a true love. They both put Henry, their son, first and that is something no other ships can claim. They understand each other way beyond the surface, way past the labels
and fairytale personas.
Everything seemed to oppose them but they complete each other, they care, they worry, and that's why.
Because they have great chemistry on screen!
a little bit the chemistry, but largely because it would make a really wonderful story.
I really think that, as a story, the whole thing of "savior saving the queen" make much sense. Also I don't have a reference for this type of relationship, It would be good to have this kind of
stories that deviate from what we always watch.
beautiful, passion ans gay fairy tall
Because of the immense potential of SQ, both for Regina and Emma as characters and for the overall story of the show. Because for me, Swan Queen as endgame is the most logical,
well-rounded way to conclude the story, and because making two women fall in love on a show about reimagined fairytales would send such an important message. Because Emma and
Regina have the most intriguing, everchanging, well-developed, dynamic relationship on the show.
Fanfiction
In my eyes, it seems logical within the story that they become a couple. and add the chemistry of the characters and BOOM = SQ!
I believe they have a lot of chemistry
Why. Because it's the perfect love story. The savior, who literally saves EVERYONE. Regina wouldn't be the person she is at this point without Emma, she wouldn't be. Make all the
arguments you want about this ship and that ship, NONE of them would be possible without Emma's influence in her life.
eye fucking ;) Also, it makes sense as a family with Henry. Also, super hot couple! Also, I really want queer representation and I think they have the right chemistry.
The mainest thing is because they are perfect for each other. Like honestly, it's the most reasonable way I can see. Every scene they have just screams it, and I think that's wonderful and
amazing, and they are just wonderful for each other in every way. I'm guessing that there is also a part of me who gets more confident in myself from them. Since i'm a lesbian myself, and
I am 100% excepting toward myself, I still sometimes feel a bit weird about it, or not comfortable about the fact that I am one. Since my favorite ship became SQ, I became far more open
with myself and who I am, also when i'm looking at myself, but also when i'm with others. I'm not ashamed of my sexuality almost at all now days. I'm not a person who gonna go out and
scream it, not at all, but if i'll be asked about i'll simply answer that I am, and will inform then that this question is not relevant for any subject, and that it's even rude to ask. I guess Swan
Queen gave me a lot of confidence in myself, and to see that it doesn't have to be a big deal.
Besides all the chemistry, they just work. It's beautiful. It makes OUAT worth watching. They just have a way of interacting with one another. It makes such a great story, you know. Evil
Queen and the Savior. It breaks the usual mold of needing a prince to have a happy ending. It's a truly modern version of a fairy tale.
Because it makes sense. A&E have these two beautiful characters (not just physically) that are like yin & yang, that compliment each other and have this undying love for their kid. It would
be a story like any other, two people who've had a rough lives and continue to do, that understand each other more than others. And come on the savior saving the person that needs the
most saving would be an awesome plot.
Season 1, Episode 1, these two were going at it. As it has been pointed out, if one were male, EVERYONE would ship it.
I think they truly belong together. They are like two sides of the same coin. They would be hell sexy couple, they would make perfect family, they would be happy... And they just have it
there. There is a connection and a chemistry between them, that is indisputable. There is many reasons why they should be together, so I won't go to details, but I hope A&E know they
would make a big mistake if they didn't make them happen.
Love story unlike any other, granted there are some lesbians on television (not enough), but this takes the stories we all heard as kids and finally makes them applicable to everyone's life.
They have chemistry and it'd be a shame to see that go to waste.
Because it makes sense in my eyes, the savior being the evil queens happy ending, their story coming full circle, it would be beautiful, organic and symbolic storytelling. They compliment
each other. Their relatonship has the most much depth to it and could be explored in so many ways with all the issues these two have, if the writers would dare to take it on.
It would be an absolutely STUNNING love story! They'd be beautiful together. It's the only story I care to see played out on the show. It's also a really important ship imo, because Adam
and Eddy have an opportunity to break the mold in terms of having a lead lesbian couple on network tv. They're fools if they throw the opportunity away.
They have amazing chemistry as actors (that's not he main reason!), it really makes sense, characters arches totally collide (which is important!) and basically Emma and Regina are like
Castle and Beckett: perfectly written, smart and believable couple.
Original, never seen before story.
chemistry between characters, they're already a family
Theyre perfect for each other, Regina unserstand emma and emma understands regina, they want whats best for their son, they have respect, they make magic together
It's makes complete and utter sense. It's beautiful and poetic. It's reflective of present day issues. And of course the chemistry between Emma and Regina is just undeniable; just the way
they look at each other...
Wonderful chemistry and great characters. The actors are excellent!
I ship Swan Queen because I see Regina and Emma as two people who ultimately meant for each other, they have a difficult relationship, but it's beautiful and genuine. They have an
amazing spark and I believe they would compliment each other so well as a couple.
The looks between them are gut wrenching. Regina gave Emma her happy ending with Henry (or at least tried to). Emma is the only one who consistently believes in Regina. Their
relationship as a family with Henry. It's all the little moments.
The chemistry between the two characters. They connect with each other on a different level than with the others.
All of the character development between these two. Nothing on this show has been so enduring.
I think thay it's an intriguing story. Yes, there have been love/hate stories out there but the complexities of Swan Queen are totally new. I love the idea of 2 strangers co-parenting a child
and taking this journey together. Throw magic and the history between Emma's parents and Regina and you have plenty oh inherent drama. Plus, Lana and Jennifer have crazy chemistry.
Of all the 'pairings' it just seems right to me. The chemistry is there, it's not forced at all
Theres a bunch of reasons why I ship Swan Queen. Its great storytelling, its organic and its not forces, unlike some, and the chemistry between them is insane. The Evil Queen, who
loved and lost, who was abused, used, manipulated, whos killed, and who is broken. She created a cursed that was destined to be broken by the Savior, daughter of Snow White, who

she too is broken and has a rough past. It comes full circle the girl; snow white who took Reginas happy ending unknowingly gives birth to her happy ending. Emma sees Regina as just
Regina and not the Evil Queen like the whole town does. Regina doesn't clump Emma in the same category her parents, the two idiots, shes just Emma. Emma believes in Regina and
vice versa. Emma believed she did n to kill Archie and Regina believes in Emmas potential magic abilities. Both emma and regina have saved and care for each other. They fit together,
they are stronger when they are together, they are equals. They make magic together for goodness sake, they've opened portals, eclipses, stopping the unstoppable with magic, true love
magic right there. They trust each other 1. The way they look at each other 2. They know each other well that they know when they are lying or telling the truth 3. They share a son who is
also each others true love 4. Because I invited her 5. Because emma notices regina 6. Because they share colors 7. Because they are the yin and yang. Darkness cannot exist without
light I dont need it to be once upon a time in my pants to have them together. They both want the same things which are a family, love, comfort, a home, a place to belong and to be
happy. And why not. Why cant they both, with Henry, provide that for each other. That would be the biggest twist, change it up from the same fairy tale tropes. The savior and the evil
queen living in a loving relationship, raising their son together. They could bring happiness to each other, Regina basically gave emma that already why not take it a step in the right
direction. Why not.
Aside from the way they look at each other no straight person looks at their friends/enemies like that! that's a look of longing and even more. Regina and Emma are like Yin and Yang they
both balance each other. They understand each other. The both have similar past experiences. They bring out the best of each other. "True love the only magic powerful enough to
transcend realms" "True love can overcome anything" "True love is magic" Together Emma and Regina can make magic work. I have yet to see that happen with Hook or Hood.
Swan Queen is beautiful. There is always something that ties the two together. Emma never sees Regina as the Evil Queen. Emma believes and looks toward Regina when in doubt as
does Regina. They make each other stronger and more powerful. They are the mother ship and nothing and no one can take that away. This ship gives me hope that anyone can have a
happy ending.
Because they are perfect complements for each other. Nobody else can understand one another the way these two ladies do. Emma can see through Regina and support her without
letting the past taint their relationship, and Regina only lets her walls break in front of Emma. It is unconditional love and I find it sublime, but also down to earth.
The Saviour and The Evil Queen. They are absolutely perfect for one another. I loved their dynamic from the very start and have watched it change from passionate enemies to
co-parenting their son.
I think that it would be a great opportunity to broadcast this relationship for not only being a plus for the LGBT community, but as a complicated love story.
Like I said, they are two sides of the same coin. They have a lot to offer one another, they balance each other out. I believe it is beneficial on both parts. I ship it because it means hope.
Because, screw destiny, you CHOOSE your love your family. Your happiness is what you make it. Emma is the Saviour, Regina is the Evil Queen. Titles neither asked for. Emma sees
Regina without that title and Regina encourages Emma in her magic, in a part of herself she was not always comfortable with. It's healthy, it's growth. I ship Swan Queen because it makes
sense in every narrative, because I want these two to be happy, and I think they could be happy together. With their son.
Honestly, it would be the greatest romance to have been shown on tv for a long time. It would give hope to so many queer people, give the message that happy endings are not just for
heterosexuals. Plus, how more poetic can you get than the saviour ending up with the evil queen. Plus, what's there not to like.
A story of family & equals.
There is a lot of tension and they would make a cute couple. Henry could have his moms and they could be a complete happy Family. I think Regina and Emma would be good for each
other.
They have so many parallels; Lana and Jen are great in scenes together; the fanfiction is amazing; they both share a love for Henry.
Because of chemistry. Because of magic and changing the alignment of the planets. Because of sharing clothing. Because of the red and grey Swan-Mills colours. Because "I invited her".
Because Emma believed in Regina when no one else did. Because Regina and Emma challenge each other and both have given each other something each of them have wanted for their
entire lives. Family. Love. A place to call home. Because they created a portal together, because Emma's magic stabilized Regina's. Because of the scene at the mine. Because it would
be the ultimate penance for Snow, taking away Regina's first love and then giving to her her True Love. Because Regina will take a lot of amusement from that fact. There's so many
reasons to ship them.
I think honestly I like it because it's not an easy relationship so its most like real life. These two are such different people that could probably argue about everything under the sun but at
the end of the day strive to make it work so I love that. Also I'll admit it....they are both hot ladies and hot ladies look great together.
There are an infinite number of story and character reasons. That it would be progressive and groundbreaking and provide representation and hope for LGBTQA viewers is, oddly, almost
just icing on the cake.
They have crazy chemistry. They have eye sex 24/7. They share a son. They are similar and have been through similar experiences. They understand each other. They're a blonde and
brunette...lol.
It's the perfect circle. Writing-wise. The dark and light. The redemption of the Evil Queen's unfairly manipulated past with the mother of the only other person that makes her love (Henry).
And it started like such a romantic comedy. It would come full circle.
Emotional resonance with other ships, co-parenting, parallel situations, redemption arcs mirroring ascendency arcs, general intense sexual chemistry
It makes since.
They have great on screen chemistry. I would like to see a lesbian couple on a primetime show.
Their love and concern for Henry and all the parallels. And where their eyes have been looking.
Because the dynamics of the two characters fit so well together and I just like the way the relationship works.
They compliment each other, not with words, but with their being. They have an insurmountable love for Henry, and they make each other a better person.
There aren't enough lesbians in television. Also, they are exactly what Henry wants and what would be best for him - a loving family with two parents that only want the best for him. And
the chemistry between Jen and Lana is perfect. The relationship Emma and Regina share scream "in love."
"Believing in even the possibility of a happy ending is a very powerful thing." Because they make sense, from a storytelling standpoint. What is more poetical than fairy tales reinvented,
with the Evil Queen being ultimately saved (or given the power to save herself) by the daughter of Snow White. I mean, really. Plus, have you seen Season 1. You could cut the sexual
tension with a knife!
Frankly swan queen is the accident that makes the show work. Their chemistry is amazing and the Swan Mills family just makes me happy. I think they need each other, and they have the
rare gift of a child making it EASIER for them to be together, rather than acting as a barrier.
I ship them not only because they're the Savior and the Evil Queen, the ying and the yang; but because they are both complex flawed amazing characters who have gone through a lot of
pain, and deserve to have a wonderful happy ending, and I think they're each others happy endings.They understand what the other has been through more than any other 2 characters
on the show and they both feel like their pasts weigh them down. Also: they have AMAZING chemistry together and they're really hot lol

How many movies and shows are there where the lead characters hate each other at first then start to get along. That's OUAT. That's Swanqueen.
I love Jen and Lana as actors, but how they act in there scenes there is a love between the two. they both care for each other even if they don't say it
Long story short: Emma is the saviour and no one needs saving more than the Evil Queen. If it happened it could be one of the best love stories ever told!
I believe in them because they're meant to each other- they're equal as far as different... and love is about that, I think, when you're hers (and she's yours), but at the same you're our own
and have the right to have your mistakes, and fear, and faith, and everything that you have, since it is what makes you "you". That's what I feel about Emma and Regina, so, I really really
hope them as endgame. Plus: Swan-Mills Family feels are the best!
They have chemistry, they are different but similar in a way. For example Regina shows emotions while emma usually shuts them down (which might be a good reason for emma to at
least admire regina.) They both care deeply for henry. He always goes first. He also needs them both. I believe emma and regina need each other as well but I can't explain exactly why. I
can't really see them with anyone else even if I try....if RH and regina are meant to be together, the writers/producers have done a TERRIBLE job cause it makes me think the opposite.
Hook is just another pest and does things to impress emma and not because he wants to be good. I'm pretty sure that if emma doesnt let him be with her he might just go back to being a
pirate. Regina has done the good stuff because she wants to be good! Not just because of henry. And she willingly let him go with emma with good memories! I mean...srsly. She's the
best. Also, their magic! They are stronger together as well! They also kinda understand each other. I'm sure that I have other reasons but are prob buried within me so deep I can't take
them out atm lol.
Mostly because of the chemistry they have had since the first episode. There is always an underlying spark when they are on screen together even when they aren't the focus of the
scene. And the looks they give each other. And they make magic together.
Great chemistry. Potential for a great love story. Family unit for Henry.
Both women are independent and strong females, who should not rely on a man for their happiness, but find strength and love in each other.
Because it's awesome, the idea of the Evil Queen changing, she would be Snow White's daughter in law, it's amazing, surprising, and unexpected. Lots of people would watch ouat just for
them.
They have magic together, transcend realms and break curses. True love, anyone. They fit together with Henry as a family.
Because it would be the first gay relationship to be openly show on a parent disney company ( or at least I think so.) and the fact that it is full epitome of what the show represents; hope
and love.
The reasons are limitless. It's not just because of my sexual preference that makes me see the potential these two women have. It's in the way the entire show is shaped that gives me this
feeling that Swan Queen is what this show should end with. They are both very similar, they understand each other, more than possibly any other character, and they love their son more
than anything. They haven't always liked each other, but they have worked with each other and influenced each other and made each other work. They challenge each other, and recently,
it seems like they need each other, too. They rely on each other. It's the relationship I've seen growing up, watching my parents: even if it isn't perfect, it could so easily be love.
Because they are perfect for each other and their personalities balance. They create powerful magic and they could have a great story line
Because it makes the most sense and would be an incredible love story. Plus I like the idea of regina being saved by the saviour.
I mean COME ON!!!! Have you seen the two. There Hella hot!!! No but seriously, every scene with cries out sexual tension. And to be very very serious now, it's just that the way the
actresses play their role lead me to ship SwanQueen. I don't if they do that on purpose or not, but they should watch all the episodes and tell us after that it's not true. But to really answer
the question, I don't know, I just love their chemistry.
They make sense together.
there're sooo many!!! they're family, have a son, and I know they love each other.
Because it would be the most beautiful love story :) The Saviour and her Queen :)
It's perfect, the savior and the evil queen. The two characters are also very similar and meld together quite nicely. Plus swan mills family duh
Their chemistry is unbelievable and undeniable. Their relationship with each other and with Henry are arguably the most important in relation to the entire concept of the show. Emma was
the first person to see Regina as more than the 'Evil Queen' and to stand up for her when no-one else did. Regina sacrificed her son and her happy ending to allow Emma to be happy.
I can't not ship them. It seems so Obvious that these two belong together. I honestly can give no other reason then: DUH.
Because no one and nothing can tell you who to love. True love sneaks up on you when you least expect it. And it's someone who inspires you to be the best person you can be. It also
helps that they share a son together.
Because I believe they are each other's true loves.
The looks and the mind blowing chemistry
Trying really hard here not just to say that they're hot ;) It's the chemistry those two have on screen that started it. It got me thinking about how similar Emma and Regina are, when the
show presents them as polar opposites. Emma is supposed to be light while Regina is suppposed to represent the darkness. Those roles are currently changing, partly due to their
relationship. They create the most powerful magic together, which the show always used to tell us, can only be created by True Love. So, for me, they are each other's true love. They will
choose each other. (Even though it most likely won't happen in canon, but that's where our talented fandom comes in.)
most logical pairing on the show. everything makes sense! also chemistry
Previously stated
they make perfect family and have crazy chemistry
Because of the chemistry they have and the looks they give each other.
Perfect ORIGINAL love story. Yin and yang, they are family, They balance each other. They bring the best out of each other.
It is the only thing that makes sense and it send a beautiful message that love is not only between a man and a woman. They have a lot of chemistry and they share a son. There is so
much reason that I can't explain them all. It is just the right thing to do.
They would make a fantastically dynamo couple.
2 sexy women
Chemistry. A similar past allowing a better understanding of the other. For me it's the most logical thing that can happen.

I like the idea behind it and can see them happy together.
Chemistry between Regina and Emma. They are both well established characters who have very detailed and interesting interconnecting storylines/character development.
Too many to list, at the basics, they balance each other out and the chemistry is overwhelming
I ship Swan Queen because they share a son. I ship Swan Queen because when Emma's not being stupid she and Regina respect each other. I ship it because of how they look at each
other. Because they make magic together.
I saw all the time on Tumblr, so I decided to watch it, because of Swan Queen and in the fifth episode it just grabbed me, I was hooked
Their interactions first and foremost and the awesome idea of the savior and the evil queen. Also lesbian mommies. Also Emma and Regina understand each other. Just... Many reasons.
They're perfect for each other. Emma has saved Regina from the darkness.
They're two sides of the same coin and therefore are the only ones in the show who can truly understand one another. Add in some delicious sexual tension and boom.
They are perfect for each other in every sense. If one of them were a man, they would have been together since season 1...and its unfair that they are not just because they are two
women
ugh tons. they have awesome chemistry. their stories are the most compelling. i love their dynamic together.
There is chemistry between the actresses that isn't forced and I would like for the show to feature a relationship that is not traditional true love. Plus Regina is just Regina to Emma, so she
would finally get a completely fresh start.
Because they're perfect for one another.
It's funny, actually. I didn't actually watch OUAT, and managed to avoid it up until mid season 3. I watched the Tumblr version exclusively, so it was pretty hard not to ship it. Heh!
Because the most perfect and logical ending to this story (the story of Emma Swan) is that the Savior and Evil Queen complete each other. They are each other's True Love.
The two mommies family vibe sits well with me, it seems so flawless and uncomplicated to do that. Also, I have no doubt in my mind that if Emma were a man they most definitely would
be canon. It makes sense to me, I've seen so many romances like that 'find your long lost parent and then they hook up again' Also the idea that 'The Savior' saves the evil queen by
making her good. It's such a unique idea to a fairytale and I love fairytales. Their love story is also filled with sexual tension and it's a slow burn which are my favorite types. The ones that
take forever to get there and grow that emotional connection first and the physical one gets stronger. Those are the best, time makes the best love stories than something rushed and
forced down viewer's throats. (ahem outlaw queen) There are many reasons, think i'll leave it at this.
1.) Because I think it would be a huge milestone in the LGTB community. Because OUAT is owned by Disney, lesbian moms especially would really show people (young children) that
having gay parents is okay. That they aren't strange because they don't have a 'typical suburbia perfect family' 2.) Because I feel like Regina is the only one who understands Emma.
Emma is the only one who understands Regina. They get it. They've fought the same battles. Emma in the foster system, Regina with her bitchy, abusive mother. Regina lost her first love,
Emma lost hers. Just to name a few. 3.) THEY SHARE A SON 4.) They would love eachother wholly and unconditionally.
The story would just make more sense if swan queen were endgame. The looks Emma and Regina need some explanation too.
chemistry similarity between the two characters and their story the very unique way they're able to relate to and connect with each other like they can't with any other character.
Their chemistry is out of control, Henry deserves both his moms. It would be the ultimate Happily Ever After. And an incredibly powerful story for the LGBT community.
How can you NOT ship SQ. Everything about this show reinforces that this relationship is real, not just a crack ship. But, more than anything, I believe it is time for our society to have
positive, female-headed families represented in mainstream media. This show has wooed us with the tease of SQ from day one, slowly and methodically developing this relationship and
how amazing would it be if the writers/producers actually used everything they have built to showcase that you don't have to be a straight male to be a hero, that love and family are not
exclusive to the 1950's the two-parent heterosexual ideal. This is what we need...something that has won such a massive mainstream following to showcase a two mom home, and to
make greater society start to question their perceptions of "normal."
1. The acting 2. The story of the Evil Queen and her Savior 3. They have a son together which they will never give up 4. Their relationship looks like its headed that way
I like the way Regina and Emma interact, there is an undeniable connection and cemeristy that seems to have grown to a genuine care and respect for each other.
Have you watched them watch each other. In any episode that they're together there's fire.
They understand each other on levels that other characters don't even come close to. They work together and create magic and move freaking moons together. AND THE EYE SEX. 'nuff
said. Plus the Swan-Mills family is the most beautiful thing ever.
Regina and Emma from the first ep has insane chemistry. There such passion between, may it be them fighting or them working together. I can see the feeling they have for each other
and their son. Its a powerful thing. I also love the idea of a lesbian fairy tale, its something I would of love to seen when I was younger. Its also about how good I believe Regina and Emma
would be for each other. They understand each other in a way no one else does. I also believe they make magic together which is true love.
The looks that they give and how the tension is almost tangible between them. That and the Family dynamic they present.
They are so perfect for each other in every way
They have so much chemistry; It would be a perfect and cute family ( Regina, Emma and Henry); They are perfect to each other; And every thing else
Storyline, actor chemistry, family dynamic with Henry, similarities and understanding between Emma and Regina, it's the only thing that makes sense on the show etc. etc.
They always pull the best out of one another. So far no other character has done that for Emma or Regina than each other.
Everything!
It makes sense and is compelling.
I begun to ship Swan Queen because I felt that they were perfect for each other. They've both been through so much and could help each other be happy. Emma is scared of commitment
while Regina loves fiercely and I believe that, that combination would work. To begin with it had nothing to do with the fact that they were both women however I believe that it has become
more of an important factor. Why. Because OUAT and Swan Queen fanfiction have become a part of my life - just like my sexuality is a part of my life - and to see the relationship happen
on screen would give me the validation I crave. I don't need OUAT to tell me that my sexuality is okay because thankfully I've over come the internal homophobia that I have struggled with
for years, however it would help because media representation matters.
I could say all of them, but I'm way too lazy for that. I highly recommend that "101 reasons to ship swan queen". It's brilliant.
Aside from being adorable. These two characters seem to be the focus and they complete each other in various ways. Yin and yang. There is something between them that builds with

each season as a slow burn compared to other characters which is funny considering how apparent that these two are indeed the focus.
The way they look at each other - plus the Evil Queen and the Savior. no better story than that. They also have so much in common that other characters wouldn't understand.
Same as above. There is also a strong chemistry between the characters that cannot be denied, which is emphasized by specific and intentional editing and acting choices.
Beautiful story. Deep connection between characters
I ship Swan Queen because Emma and Regina work well together. Whether it's co-parenting or fighting bad guys, they team up with or without their magic and they're this great force no
one can compete with. They're also very dynamic, together and individually. I think it would be an amazing love story if the former Evil Queen and the daughter of her former enemy
became a couple.
It's partly about representation, it's partly about the heat that I see between them, it's partly about redemption and common goals. But mostly I just think it makes so much sense. I ship
plenty of straight ships for the same reasons (ie. Caskett, Jisbon, Kibbs, Tiva, Hameron etc etc) and I ship these ships because there is chemistry and they share something special, and
they grow together. All of them have very slow burns, even though some of them don't ever become canon, their relationship still builds to the point where you believe that THIS is what
matters. And it's the same with Swanqueen. It's such a beautiful love about a mother who's past keeps being dredged up again and again when all she wants is to live her life with her son.
The last thing she wants is the woman who gave birth to him to come crashing into her life, and end up becoming his mother too. But that's what happens, though not before doing some
terrible things in a desperate attempt to save her relationship with her slowly drifting son. However over time they begin to interact cautiously and redemption begins, wounds heal and
alliances are formed, then slowly, until a threat to her son's life leads her to enact a sacrifice, and an act of trust to the woman she just wanted to leave. It has so much potential! I have
shipped Swanqueen from near the start but I am a huge fan of the slow burn (wow this turned into a rant)
They are a match made in heaven. The saviour saving the evil queen. What's better than that. The swan-mills family *-*
Because they complete each other.
It would be such an epic, full circle love story of second chances, personal growth, and love, happiness, and family coming from unexpected places. Narratively it is so poetic a story that I
can't fathom anyone passing up the chance to tell it. Also it would be much needed LGBTQ representation, in disney stories no less.
There are too many of them. But let's say that it's not only because of representation. It would be the most beautiful love story.
Above. Their magical connection. Their lives have both sucked. Emma's supposed to bring back the happy endings, thereby lessening the damage of Snow's mistake as a child. Team
Moms! They challenge each other. They both know when the other is lying/telling the truth. An actual complex, built upon and organic relationship that is growing from mistrust and hate to
co-parenting and trust. Everything really. Also, their eye sex is ridiculous. Especially Lana. If she isn't playing Regina as having stupid amounts of love for Emma (or at least chemistry)
then I don't know what's what anymore.
It is the relationship with the most development and character dynamics. It is easy to say because it is f/f but there is much more to it.
Mostly because they almost been through the same things, they're hurt in the same way, and they try to being strong. They actually are. I think that they can heal each other, because
they'll know when to push a question, and when not to. When they are together with Henry, there always those glance to each other like they know that now they are not alone. Sometime
love doesn't need a word, just a look at each other. And in some way i think a ship can be refer as your own life. They have benn through a lot a thing, and then they stand here, and
fighting. And we all need that, we all need to know that, yeah we have to fight. And probably because i read to much ff, that made me seing thing that i did't notice. And it's mostly what
they say to each other.
Excellent chemistry. Personalties balance each other. Shared love for their son. The show is their story.
They are the two most highly developed characters in the show, and they got that way with each others help. Obviously their love of Henry binds them in a specific way as well. And the
whole theme of the show is love conquering evil. Emma, the product of True Love falling in love with Regina, the show's epitomized evil, just makes the most perfect sense.
They complete each other. Regina is the young to Emma's yang.
they look good together and their dynamic and chemistry are great
Because they have a bond developing like any other show where a guy and a girl develop. And in other shows where it is a guy and a girl, it becomes end game. Why should two women
exhibiting the same behavior not be.
The chemistry
I think I answered that in the previous question...
Besides the sexual tension, I think they have more in common than they really know. I think they understand each other, more than the other characters really can, because of their not so
great backgrounds. I think it could really work, and it would make a really fitting story for The Evil Queen to fall in love with The Savior.
Mainly the chemistry between Lana and Jennifer.
i ship swan queen because i think it would be an epic romance. they are really perfect for each other and honestly, if it was a man and a woman, they'd be endgame. i don't think it's fair for
us to not get that just because it's two women.
Because it makes the most sense story wise. To end the story the neatly it is the only thing that makes the most sense. Along the lines of making the most sense... the two being able to do
magic that was said only true love could do....
I don't know, i just do. Also Henry's mommies should be together.
It's not forced as some other ships on the show. It has sense. The actresses have some great chemistry whenever they're in a scene together.
The intensity between them is palpable.
People I follow on tumblr for other ships have opened my eyes to the possibility and the evidence provided is undeniable. Once you see it, you can't unsee it in all of their interactions. It
would also be sweet and a true happy ending for Henry to have both his moms together and not have to move between homes.
Because they're soulmates! haha I mean, the eyesex, caring about each other, even when they tried to kill each other was like BAAM DAT GAY
the pair have great chemistry together on screen. It doesn't hurt that Lana is smoking hot.
Above answer.
-chemistry -eye sex -really cute plot twist -logical best happy ending
CHEMISTRY!!! I mean C'MON!!! hot hot hot And they have a son together! Swan Queen is endgame! :P
Lana and JMo have great chemistry It is a wonderful love story - the daughter of the EQ arch nemesis is the woman she falls in love with, just perfect. There are countless reasons but that

is my main reason.
she is a good person
I think they are perdect together, its right there in front of them their happy ending but they wont allow themself to believe it! But they have both had hard lives and both understand and
love each other and they have henry its just perfect
the whole premise of the show: modernizing fairy tales, the premise of everyone lives happily ever after.
The only two characters that have consistent chemistry on the show are Emma and Regina. Whether they are fighting each other or working together there are always sparks. With CS
and OQ it's like nothing. It's so forced. It feels painful at times. I liked seeing Regina so happy when she walked away from Robin after kissing him at Granny's but when they were actually
together it's awkward, not cute awkward, painful awkward and borderline stalker-ish at times. Both heterosexual ships are creepy, obsessive and stalker-y. The relationships between
Regina and Emma is based on respect not wanting to own/posses. Ok, I think I got off track here but I think that's it.
Beautiful , intelligent , strong females with more chemistry than all other couples on the show.
Because they comprise each other and belive in each other when anyone else does. Because the way that they look at each other, it's the most beautiful, pure and powerful demonstration
of true love. Because they truly have feelings about each other. Because the SQ plot it's the only plot who make sense with the show.More than Snowing. Because is LOVE. Regardless of
who is (Men or Womens) is LOVE, above of all.
All of the 'Eyes gazes' that they do, and everything they do with their eyes
I ship swanqueen because I think Regina and Emma would make a great example of your partner bringing out the best in you. They complement each other and I think they have a great
thing going with Henry, a great family unit. Another reason I ship swanqueen is because it would mean a lot to me to see a healthy gay couple, and healthy gay family in television. This
show is about fairy tales and what does it mean that there aren't really any "happy endings" for the people out there that identify as LGTQ or anything else. What messages does that send
to us....
I love Regina so much and I think she deserve so much better than what the writers have given her and in my opinion that means Emma's love. Plus, the possibility of Lana gorgeous
Parrilla making out with Jen sexy Morrison make any other possibly ship seem lame to me.
So many! All their story and chemistry to be short, and the looks omg the looks
I tend to ship in line with my orientation. And there are no decent male characters to ship with even if i were inclined.
The same reason why I believe they are endgame. It's many small things that add up.
I ship Swan Queen because I love both Emma and Regina. I love how strong they both are and how they are stronger when they stand together. I love that they share a true love through
Henry. They could actually relate to each other so much if they would just get a break from having to save everyone all the time and just sit down and talk to each other. I love Swan Queen
because it's a relationship that feels real. It's because this ship had the most realistic development that many people ship it. It's also the reason that many people can't understand it.
Because it isn't forced or predetermined by magic and it's not like "Hey, here's your soul-mate have fun!" No. It's real and it has its strengths and weaknesses but in the end I think they
could understand each other better than anyone else in this show.
Swan Queen needs to happen. The evil Queen needs her savior! They complete one another and compliment each other. They create crazy , powerful magic together. Plus they are both
the mothers of Henry. How could they not end up together. It would be ashamed if they didn't .
Chemistry and it would be intersting to see both character interact with each other in a different way.
Chemistry
The history is about true love and how it changes the world, no matter Land you are, no matter century. Emma has light, Regina has dark. Together they are balance, they complete each
other. Besides, no one is only good or bad, that's why they have to stay together. OUaT is about fairy tales, but is also about reality and modernity, and nothing could show it better than
Swan Queen in endgame.
The chemistry. The way the show is written with the EQ/curse/Savior. The EQ finding a happy ending with the Savior, who was made to destroy her.
They make a more realistic couple than the other they have been paired with
Eye sex
Stating the first thing, what's the best idea to give to a broken villian a redemption than making her believe she is good and having someone on their side helping her lower down her walls
so she can't hurt herself nor others around. Now how about that someone being your son's birth mother whose entitled to be the saviour of all of the FTC and to broke the curse the villian
casted upon. I'm not even stating about LGBT media recognition, I'm talking about pure logic. For me, Swan Queen is more than representation, it's the only couple that makes perfectly
sense. The saviour is not only literal, but also metaphorical, 'saving' someone has different meanings and that is what I truly consider beautiful. In OUaT's case, or in the Swan Queen's
case, is to Emma, along with Henry, help Regina realise she can redeem herself, that the world is not black and white. Although, I do think that if one of them was a man, they would be
canon by now.
I ship them, because they love each other. They love henry, and they would give anything for him. The looks they give each other are just beautiful. they make me believe in love. Im in
love with them being together. They are perfect or each other. I know theyll become swan-Mills Family!!
In the first moment, it was all the chemistry between them, the fact that they share a son and stuff. after s2, there's them doing magic together, doing things only true love can do and i
jUST CANT
It just makes sense.
They share a true love And a son. They have blatant chemistry along with those LOOKS. There are many, many more, too many to explain.
OMG, there are sooooooo much reasons that i don't think i'm able to put all of them here. But i'll try to summarize the main reasons: They are a family with Henry, they both love Henry
more than everything, they have a very similar past and have suffered from the same kind of pain, they both want home, love and family, Henry would certainly be a very happy kid with his
two moms together, Emma always believe in Regina and give her a chance, because they used to figt a lot and, i mean, wich perfect couple didn't start with fights and tension.. Because
love/hate relationships are the best, because they know each other, because Emma is the Savior and Regina needs to be saved, because it would be a very positive thing to the LGBT
community, by showing people that homosexual families are also real families, because it would show that homo love can be a fairy tale love like the hetero couples, because Lana & Jen
have an undeniable chimestry on scene, because they are the best characters on the show and... i probably should stop by here, i think that's pretty much it, lol :)

Classic romantic arc couple tensions and Henry.
Because Swan Queen is love, superation and this make more sense than the other ships.
It is quite palpable the chemistry of these. And a friend introduced me Swan Queen
Swan Queen because believe me the show is a show about families, and the whole family branches to Henry. The point is: The main Henry familiar figures are Emma and Regina, both
share the true love for Henry. There is no happy ending for them if Henry is not included. As for him no end can not include them both. It's a fairy tale then we assume that the series ends
on a happy ending. The happy ending is Henry finished with her two mothers. And the happy ending of the two is the son sharing. The best way to end it is all three together in harmony,
which includes Hook out of the life of Emma (Regina never accept him as Henry's stepfather). Also as the series itself says, true love is magic and there is nothing more magical this show
Emma and Regina together.
Chemical, and True love.
They have amazing chemistry (the actresses and the characters). They are similar on many points (past events and present desires). They would make the perfect family. They would give
the LGBTQ community great representation, and mostly make it ok to have a main gay couple on TV. If one of them was a man, they would definitely be canon and loved by 80% of the
fandom.
Chemistry. The way they look at each other. They balance each other out. They bring out the best in each other. They're cute together. They make a beautiful family.
Cause they are perfect together
the chemistry between the leads
They seem just so perfect for each other. I mean, they TRULY understand each other. They accept each other completely. They're like Ying Yang, light and darkness and all that blowing
mind chemistry that Lana and JMo have. Please!
They have a son together and it's a family show! :-D I am half kidding. There is no doubt if Emma was a guy, she/he will be Regina true love...
They make a great family and the dynamic they have is perfect. The magic they could make together would be unstoppable to any evil force that they come up against. True love comes in
all kinds. https://www.youtube.com/watch.v=m-fN__Xb6Bk
Elas so lindas juntas e seria um casal perfeito p srie, porque hook e hood nao estao com nada, tudo mto forado
Chemistry.
The chemistry between Lana and Jen, I want Regina to be happy, and the ladies already have a kid
As razes pelas quais eu shippo SQ, porque eu sempre vi elas como um potencial ship amoroso, porque vamos l, elas no comeo eu sempre digo que era algo mais carnal, desejo,
mas depois isso evoluiu, Emma acreditou nela mesmo ela sabendo dos erros de Regina, o jeito que elas se olham, fazem magia, as crises de ciumes, tu-do, grita swan queen
They are clearly two sides of a coin, share an undeniable bond (though they're likely reluctant to admit it just yet), and understand each-other as well as care for each-other; flaws and all.
It's sexy
Starting from the beginning, Emma and Regina have shown obvious sexual tension. From there, their relationship has escalated to the point where they care about each other and desire
to know each other's opinions. They also share a son together. A lot of the behavior they exist toward one another, as well as the situations in which they find themselves, argue strongly
for a relationship. In addition, Regina and Emma have been through much more and have a greater affinity for one another than any of the supposed love interests. After a while, it began
to feel that Regina and Emma were portrayed as heterosexual because it was expected and not because any of the men presented were actually viable candidates.
Its impossible to deny the subtext! I don't care if they are two women, for me that's not the point. Besides the subtext I think the characters fit perfectly
They really love each other, have a son and love unconditionally
The main and true reason is that I believe Swan Queen is an EPIC love story. Besides the fact that they share Henry, the fact that they are the Savior and The Evil Queen, the Mayor and
the Sheriff, if they stayed together it would be such a HUGE representation of gay family and not only that, it would be more than just a ship, it would open so many doors on the plot for
the writers to explore and it would be just great.
I do believe the main characters complete each other... they have the chemestry and I think during the seasons a lot of moments showed that layer of understandind, complicty, hurts and
loses and deep love that both Regina and Emma are capable of feel.
Because I'm so passionate about opposites, black and white, sweet and salty, I think different things complete each other. They came from completely different places,crossed tortuous
patches, they both need to be fixed, they complete, they can really see each other...
Even though they had a rough start, they get each other more than anyone on the show, they share so much and are much alike yet so different and their chemistry is unbelievable. They
just look at eachother with so much emotion and care so much for eachother no matter what they do.
Chemistry.
Their story, chemestry, cute scenes, sexual tension, etc
It would be an amazing story. Plus Regina and Emma story line works.
It just makes sense, unlike OQ and CS
Because they belong together.
They are perfect together. They make each other better in every way and they would form a beautiful family.
Undeniable chemistry and logic. They are two sides of the same coin and compliment one another.
Because from the start up to this point it's the only couple that actually makes sense. And the chemistry/sexual tension is undeniable. We all know that if they had been a het ship it would
have definitely been canon by now.
Because it would be the greatest love story of all time. Nothing else really makes sense to me either, and too many parallells. And together they would be a real family.
Great pairing with complementary and conflicting traits in proper measure. Besides, nice looking, too.
I like the character dynamics and the redemptive narrative.

I believe that SQ is endgame because of all the parallels between OQ and CS that show that both are just distractions. I also believe that SQ is endgame because of all the eye-sex, their
belief in each other, their mutual true-love for Henry, and it just makes sense.
They seem to undeniably truly care for one another in a capacity that is more than just friends. They also know how to read and understand what the other means or feels without needing
to speak it all the time. It just feels like true love.
It's much due the interactions between the characters, the way they look at each other and their sense of care.
They just fit. They fit the story, they fit each other. They make sense in a magic world where hardly anything else does.
Too many to tell.
It's the most complicated and redemptive love story ever. They have great chemistry together. Sooo many reasons.
Representation & great story possibilities
Their love for their son.
It just makes sense. The way they look at each other!! *sigh*... it also doesn't hurt that they're hot. Oh, and the whole representation bit is a big deal to, but I try not to think to politically
when it comes to fictional TV shows. :/
Chemistry and a desire for representation.
Two awesome ladies that have much in common despite everything.
it's the only thing that makes sense in the show
I ship Swan Queen because it would be beautiful. I feel the tension and chemistry between Emma and Regina. Emma is also obviously gay. Emma being gay will become canon.
Regina and Emma definitely have a connection. They went from "He's my son" "No he's not he's my son !" to "Our son" and they have had a long time to develop as characters aswell as
developing their relationship with each other. Combined they make great magic and even give each other romantic glances intentional or not.
I ship Swan Queen because it makes me so happy I could burst at the thought. I ship it because any LGBTQ representation as a fairy tale with Happy ending would be incredible. I ship it
because Adam and Eddy said that their idea was to turn Disney and fairy tales on their heads. I ship it because I'd like to show my children this series one day and explain how ground
breaking and influential it was, not just think back and wonder on what might have been. I ship it because they are Henry's Mom's. And they make magic together. I ship it because the fan
fiction is delicious, and the fandom, like an addiction. I ship it because everyone deserves a happy ending, even an Evil Queen. And I ship it because Regina Mills can only be saved by
Emma Swan.
Chemistry, ridiculous amount of eye sex.
Once Upon a Time is about fairytales, about family, about love, about hope, about redemption and about happy endings and in my humble opinion Swan Queen would be the most epic
love story involving ALL these elements!
BECAUSE THEY ARE PERFECT. Because they just make sense in every way. Because it's time for a slow-burn, romantic relationship between two women to become canon on regular
tv.
They are different but yet still similar in a lot of ways. Highly compatible
You can feel the chemistry on screen, and the fandom is just so talented. Plus The Savior falling for The Evil Queen and saving each other... This story just writes itself
I found myself in the characters. It seems as if there is underlying emotions between them, too. I just kinda see it, you know.
1,000 reasons. In essence Regina and Emma are Ying and Yang, and Henry brings them together in a circle.
The subtext, the chemistry of the characters and actresses, the possibilities the scenario opens for the show.
Chemistry. It's the only thing that really makes sense to me in the storyline perspective. It would close the circle and also it would be ironicly romantic.
the chemistry between the actresses, the story idea that a savior and a evil queen can fall in love.
Oh, wow, there are a lot of reasons. But really, they just really click with me. I probably won't write all the reasons, though, just a few. I should be studying for finals especially since I have
one tomorrow. I think they love each other, so that's one reason. It may not be romantically, but there is definitely love there. They care a lot about each other and that just warms my heart.
I have a thing for enemies becoming friends and then becoming lovers. And these two so far fit the bill. Amazing character growth for both of them, and they did that growth together. This
reason is the same reason why I like Spuffy, lol. They don't let each other get away with the other's stupid shit. When Emma does something, Regina calls her out on it and vice versa.
They have a son together that they both truly love, and I kinda want them to be a happy family together. They have very good chemistry together and they are both very attractive, so from
a purely aesthetic reasoning, that is another reason why I ship them. They have had too many scenes where their faces get super close to each other for me to not want them to get even
closer. They really understand each other and believe in each other. Nothing to me is more touching than that. A person can say they love you, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they
believe in you. That they think you can achieve and be who you want to be, the best version of yourself. And I think they really do believe in each other even if they get a little snippy with
each other. Actually, I enjoy when they get snippy with each other too, because it screams jealousy. And nothing is more entertaining than two people who want to be together but can't
seem to let themselves be together...but still get jealous of any other potential romance that other person could have. I mean, right now it's cute, but that's because neither of them ever
crossed a line or let it get too out of hand. I really think it fits story wise. The story starts with Regina and her vengeance against Snow and a curse and Emma as a savior. If the story
doesn't end with them coming together as a family somehow it will be kind of off putting. Obviously the best, most seamless way of doing this is just Emma and Regina getting together,
but I don't know if that will ever happen. Hope lives eternal, right. And I have to be honest. I want more representation. Lgbtq women should have more of a presence in media especially
non-sexualized presence. Every time there's a queer woman on tv, I feel it's not so much because she's just there to be a character of a story, but more so that straight male viewers can
have wet dreams. I hope that two moms getting together can bypass this catering to straight male viewers.
I'm a huge fan of redemption stories and couples that understand where the other is coming from and help better each other. The two have had a rough time and understand that about
each other and when they stop being defensive they actually help push the other forward. I believe that they can give each other the push they need to get better and grow as people to be
better for their son, themselves and the people around them.
It's very wonderful and they're just so perfect for each other. They're both mothers of one child anyway
It's beautiful, the development, the whole there's a thin line between love and hate. How they've become a team over time and how they realized that they are better together. Because
Swan-Mills Family feels, and that for both Emma and Regina, they both have a family in each other. And they would always protect each other no matter what.
The parallels are indisputable and the chemistry is obvious to anyone with eyes in my opinion. Plus, it really would be the perfect ending to the whole story.
Because if she was a man, the whole "father comes back, he gets together with the mother" thing would definitely happen. They've saved each other, they care about each other, and they
have great chemistry.

beautiful women, can make magic together, team mommies, and i feel in my gut that they share true love
Everything. The whole Miss Swan thing. The fact that they are the main characters it's about Regina and Emma, Regina is dark, Emma is light and they can only survive with each other.
They share a son. Their looks. It would make the perfect story.
Chemistry, shared storyline, because it would be a modern fairytale.
Their chemistry is unmistakable
Because I think it could be an epic love story. The saviour and the evil queen yada yada
it's the perfect true love story
The narrative we are presented seems to head that way, and I like a strong narrative. Aside from that I love the idea of two strong female leads being a couple. And they're hot. Not gonna
lie about that.
Because it is the only ship that makes logical and emotional sense.
Good chemistry. Desire to see a homosexual relationship portrayed on television. Henry's two moms together. Improved familial relationships between the Charmings and Regina. Similar
backstories between Emma and Regina make them well suited to help each other heal and grow.
These are two insanely strong women, who share both intense chemistry with each other and a special bonds with their son. They both have so much potential that could be built on with
and through each other. Another driving force for my ship is the representation it provides, as mentioned above.
How to get the savior to taste my forbidden fruit. ...I mean come on.
Their overall story line and the way their interactions occur with in the show. The growth of both characters, especially in s3, is more convincing than any of other couple on the show.
First and above all: Season 1 and their chemistry. Strong characters, total opposites fighting. Second: Regina aka Lana is hot, beautiful and even as an heterosexual I can't find words.
Third: Emma in interaction with Regina is always fun. Fourth and last: Why not. They already share a son!
The chemistry between the actresses was what made me start shipping it, and eventually everything else just made me ship it harder - their magical connection (easily True Love), the fact
that they both had haunted pasts and could help each other through it, their connection through Henry, and the fact that through everything, all they both wanted was a family and
someone to love them.
Because there's nothing that makes more sense than Henry's two mothers being together. And Emma and Regina simply fit together in a way they don't fit with anyone else.
I think the two of them can relate to each other on very important life-history points, and provide sympathy and support that no one without that life-history can provide. Especially their
history of being abused and manipulated. I think they'd provide a safe space for each other. I also think their personalities complement each other in ways that would provide a lively and
interesting relationship. Plus, they look at each other with the kind of romantic and sexual chemistry that romcoms only dream of having with their main characters.
I think it would be a brilliant way to show a different kind of relationship. I think the authors didn't think about the sociological problems displayed in those fairy tales, and they
underestimated the ability of the public to notice them. Most specifically the heteronormativity, a reflex of the sociocultural context of the historical period in which they were originally
written. Showing a gay couple on television, among histories that portray "the importance of true love, no matter what", would be a revolution, not only in the intellects of the public, but in a
political point of view. They share an deep connection through Henry, , they are very similar characters, they understand each other in a existential and a realistic level.
- Chemistry - Passion between the actors - "I believe her" - "I know her" - The Savior and her Queen
It would have been a perfect story of love and redemption
There is no combination of 26 letters and a few punctuation marks that can hold a candle to the soul-stirring warmth and gratification that these two characters, being, canonically, in a
romantic relationship, would bring to people that find it so fucking difficult to believe in even the slightest whisper of their own happy ending.
See above. Also Henry, he deserves a happy family. He can have that if his moms fall in love and give him a sibling or two.
They are similar in many ways. They understand each other more than anyone else and they share a son and a true loveHenry. They both just want to be loved and have a family. They
have amazing chemistry. I don't think there is anything sweeter and epic as having the Evil Queen and the Savior fall in love and save each other. I think Henry needs and deserves the
stability of having both his mothers with him, instead of having 2 mothers, a dead father, and 2 step-fathers and whatnot.
well I think I have a lot of reasons, I mean, they are both two strong women that doesn't need a man to be who they are, but they need love, and the thing they love most is their son, so
that's a very strong conection, I think I don't need to say all the reasons I just ship them and they are so perfect, and they can do magic together and everything
Regina is my favorite character because there are qualities that I share with her. Shipping her Emma, or anyone for that matter, means that there is something that others can appreciate
about me as well.
Probably the chemistry first of all.
I think the characters compliment each other in very interesting ways. That (at least when the show began) Emma was introduced as a character that wasn't black and white and was in an
interesting position to see Regina as something other than her past, and that Regina, unlike the rest of the characters, was smart and experienced enough to understand that "good"
people could do bad things when pushed, and so she would be able to relate to and understand Emma's darker past. They are also not-quite-opposites in a lot of ways, and view
situations similarly but approach them differently, which make them an interesting pair. In addition to them being a good match, their story is thematically fascinating. I'm a sucker for
stories about fate, and the idea that Snow's actions led to Regina's which led to Emma growing up in a difficult situation that makes her perfect for understanding Regina and therefore
Snow essentially correcting her own mistake by giving life to the woman that finally gives Regina her happy ending (either just as Henry or as a family of the three of them) is just
extremely poetic and interesting. But, in addition to them being kind of perfect on paper, they have SO VERY MUCH they need to work through, both personally and together. Both have
abandonment issues, and trust problems, and Regina holds on to things but Emma's a runner. They have decades of family history and both have done bad things to each other and
basically for them to be able to enter into a functional relationship, they would need to work through these things together. Which means they'd be healing the problems between
themselves, but also within themselves, and I think THAT is why I ship them so much: they could both be so very good for the other.
Because I see it. And I think it'd be awesome and such a perfect story, notwithstanding all of the same sex representation stuff.
They share an undeniable love for their son. It would be the best thing to happen to television since Friends went on the air.
It would be an epic love story the savior and the evil queen and because of Chemestry
The women have great chemistry, and it just makes the best sense from a storyline perspective that I've ever seen for a slash subtext couple. The Savior and the Evil Queen. As OUaT
recapper Lily Sparks once wrote, Emma is the child of True Love and the Savior, and nobody is more in need of love and saving than the Evil Queen. SQ is also the sort of couple who
would be interesting both in the run-up to getting together and when they are together (when many couples do become boring), because they have massive issues, both individually and
as a couple, which would give them organic conflict.

Already said it^^
The story would be a perfect arc for the show. But it also gives hope to the lgbt community and shows a modern fairytale.
They can and sometimes do bring out the best in one another. They understand that Henry always comes first. Neither of them is perfect and I dont think they expect that from one
another.
Cause Emma sees Regina as Regina, not EQ, not Mayor, but Regina. It's really sweet and kinda poetic. Plus this tencion betwen them since season one has perfectly developed in mutual
care.
The insane chemistry, and the redemption and healing they can offer one another.
Jennifer and Lana have great chemistry, Regina/Emma scenes are always the most interesting parts of the episodes, and the idea that Emma and Regina share a true love in Henry, so
what's stopping them from being each other's true loves.
It's the only pairing that makes sense. Hook and Hood are creepy.
I have never been obsessed with a ship before SQ. I think its because the way the two look at each other, the way they bitter and fight like an old married couple.
It makes sense, and it has the potential to be, arguably, the most epic love story of this generation.
The chemistry is obvious. Would be the perfect ending
Insane chemistry Compelling story The plot twist of all plot twists A well rounded family for Henry the reasons are endless
Chemistry...and, given the character arcs, it just makes sense. Emma and Regina are so well-matched that their male OTPs are copies of them. Hook is basically Emma's Regina, and
Robin is essentially Regina's Emma.
The chemistry, the eye sex, the parallels with other canon relationships
they're hot together
It started with the unresolved sexual tension, and I mean no one can deny it was here. And then the more we learned about Emma and Regina's pasts the more it made sense. They fit
together. It feela right and not forced in any way and ... Healthy.
it started of based merely on their interaction,but these two characters compliment and mirror each other so much,that it seems the most logical progression in their reationship
their chemistry
Vilains are always my fav and I want them to be happy. Regina is my baby, probably my fav character ever and I'd do a lot of things for her to be happy. SwanQueen makes sense. Emma
is the Savior. She is the ying, Regina is the yang you get me. And well, this story could actually change how the word is because it would taught everyone that queer people have their
happy endings too and are just like everyone else.
Chemistry and subtle things. (And my answer for question 11)
Emma and Regina both know that their best chance is together, it only makes sense to me that they find their happy endings together too.
I think they are meant to be. It would be the perfect fairy tale, the Evil Queen and the Saviour together to protect Storybrooke (or hell, Enchanted Forest) from anything wicked or more
wicked that will come their way. And I think deep down, they do love each other but they just haven't take a breath and see what they have because the story of the show move so fast.
Chemistry, relationship development, Swan-Mills Family.
It would be a really original fairytale and a huge win for lgbt
Eye sex! Chemistry
The characters' personalities as acted and expressed by the actresses
They both had difficult lives, had love and it was taken from them. Both found happiness in Henry. Both are strong women that fight for what they want and team up with anyone to find
what's important. The two women though that they didn't matter, that anyone cared about them, and again they found it in Henry. They complete each other.
The dynamic between the two on screen, and how perfect the Fairytale ending would be if they ended up together. It would make sense for the show, plus I really like seeing women or
anyone really realize later in life that sexuality isn't simple. That you can change and like the same sex at anytime. Sometimes the shackles from society blind us. It just gives me hope.
Reasons given in my previous answer.
The whole show is about hope. And Swan Queen gives me hope that two completely different people can fall in love. And that love can come when you least expect it, but that it must be
fought for.
I ship SQ because this is a show about fairy tales, about hopes, true love and dreams come true, it would be quite beautiful and transcendental for the LGBT+ community to have some
kind of representation on the show, and this pairing is the one that makes the most sense to me and the one with the most beautiful story in my opinion, also the only one that could be
notice enough to make a statement that we are all equal, that no matter the gender or sexuality of who you fall in love with, love is love, and again, in my opinion, that is a far better
message than what CS or OQ could give.
the parallels. the fact that these women have fought and endured so much and share a son and understand each other so well and are essentially each other's family. they support each
other in spite of what their histories/instincts would tell them to do.
They fit with each other, both the others opposite in so many ways. Henry needs to have two mommies who both love him with all their hearts. They create unstoppable magic together.
Their gorgeous, not going to leave that one out.
Their chemistry. And the common history they share. It makes sense for Henry's parents to fall in love.
They seem right together, like Emma fixing her mothers wrongs towards Regina. Them having a son together. All the eyesex etc
Other than their being amazingly hot together, it would be awesome for a change to get such an ending for this kind of show. Fairy tale characters can be gay too
They seem perfect for each other.
All of Emma and Regina's eyesex and checking each other out constantly. They're the Savior and the Evil Queen- that's perfect. Their painful backgrounds are quite similar. They make
amazing magic together- "true love is the most powerful magic of all".
Why not. The actresses do a great job of provoking the idea of a great romance or friendship between the reluctant savior and the former evil queen.

At first it was the chemistry between them. And built from their with parallels. Henry's happy ending being his family coming together.
Because they are blonde and brunette :) lol, truly. Initially, because they are hot. Later, because there was/is some sort of tension between them that is exquisite. Also, Regina's complexity
and thrist for love kind of fit together with Emma's desire for love, a home and family, and they both fall in grey areas, even if Regina's slightly darker. In Henry, they find a home and a
second chance at love and I think that is a reason to bring them together. In a way, Emma gave Regina her happy ending and Regina gave Emma her happy ending by loving and raising
Henry, and later in season 3, by truly giving them a second chance and the chance to experience something Emma longed for so long, at the expense of her own happiness. That's love
bitch.
they had great chemistry in season 1 also Lana Parilla
Emma & Regina are so different, but also exactly the same. Like two sides of one coin. Emma is the product of true love, but her parents chose to give her up. Regina is the product of
pure dysfunction, but her mom chose to raise her. They've both been hurt in love in the past. They already share a son. It's hard to imagine anyone making either of them happier than
they could make each other.
- the saviour and the evil queen falling in love -> there is nothing more beautiful than this - the obvious, OBVIOUS chemistry - Swan-Mills-Family -> a child with two moms, just imagine
what a truly beautiful message they could send with this - because i have not seen much of the "a new take on the fairy tale thing" so far and swan queen would TRULY accomplish that - it
just makes sense - would one of them be a man, they would be CANON - i want to see more representation of same sex couples in the media
They have the most amazing connection I have ever seen in all the TV shows I've watched! Maybe it's just the actresses but they just have this spark when they are together and the way
their relationship has developed is a beautiful sight to witness.
They're two beautiful ladies with complicated pasts and they just FIT.
similar histories, strengths that feed on each other, etc.
I believe that Emma and Regina are good for each other. They way the story is going it seems like that's were they are going.
It feels like the perfect fairy-tale ending to me. Regina and Emmas fates were so intertwined from the start. It (OUAT) has the potential to be a beautiful story about how the Evil Queen
was saved from hate and darkness by the savior, the daughter of the person she used to hate most of all. It's just so logical.. They are so Yin/Yang to me. And having that end to a
fairy-tale, with LGBT characters living happily ever after, would be such an awesome, epic statement.
1) The story/narrative demands it! It's the only satisfying conclusion to this story. Period. 2) The chemistry. 3) Wanting/needing representation. And face it, in this often hostile fandom,
validation that I see it.
I love them together and I think they represent the meaning of the show..I mean they are a family,true family with Henry. And most of reason are written in previous answer :)
I am totally sure that Swan Queen would be the best option and the perfect ending. Both of Emma and Regina have a terrible past and an awful relationship with love and abbandonment.
They deserve a happiness and I think that the Savior was not only born to save the Enchanted Forest from the curse, but also she was born to save the person who cast the curse from
herself. Plus, they are both Henry's mothers: one is the one who gave him life literally, the other one is the one who raised him, who wanted him and who took care of him. They are a
perfect family. I think that Emma and Regina have a great potential. I ship them not because they are two woman or stuff like that. I would have shipped them even if they were
woman/man, man/man or something else.
I love the idea of Emma and Regina together, obviously. But i love that they share a family together. I love what they bring out in each other - For Regina, Emma can bring out the best and
worst sides of her. For Emma, Regina is someone she can take care of, but also someone she can count on. It's an equal partnership and I really love that dynamic.
the savior bringing a happy ending to the person who needs it most. closing the circle on snow taking Regina's true love, and then replacing it by bringing Emma into the world. two people
who want desperately to be a family with Henry, who have needed a real family. he gets both his moms. also HOTTTT
Regina deserves her happy ending, after everything that Rumple and Cora put her through, after all the wrong choices she made when she felt she had no choice at all, she deserves to
breath easy and see how wonderful and worth it she is. To me Emma is the only one that is able to see Regina as Regina and not the Evil Queen (sometimes this is tested). She is the
only one since probably Daniel that might be able to see past everything Regina has done and finally look at the reasons why she's done them, and still be able to say that's all in the past
and take Regina as she is, without conditions and qualifiers.
I think it would be a smart move by the creators. They (sq) complete each other in a ying-yang kind of way. They make the perfect family with Henry, and it works as storytelling - two very
different women fighting for some time over the boy, only to realize they are not as antagonic as we first thought. They unite to protect the family, and to validate a kind-of-family into real
family. Plus, it is the story about the evil queen redemption. The savior must have something to do with it!
wow they have everything i would ever want from a complex relationship, including enemies become reluctant allies become friends become lovers.. team mommies. sexual tension..
magic.. lesbians... what more do we need...
The chemistry, the amazing depth of the story and the impact such a story would have on people everywhere in the world.
Multiple reasons really. Watching this relationship develop has helped me become more confident in my own sexuality and just finding the realtionship very beautiful. The concept of
"hating" one another, to finding a common understanding and becoming more.
1. they're incredibly hot together 2. they make the other one actually feel something 3. have a son 4. "True Love is the most powerful magic of all"
Emma and Regina mirror each other in many ways. Light and dark magic, savior and Evil Queen, lost loves, being pushed to a fate they didn't originally want but then embraced, doing
bad things to get what they want, and most importantly terrible feelings of being unloved and unwanted. These sorts of things help people understand each other, and I think Emma and
Regina understand each other better than any two characters on the show.
I don't have real reasons actually. I like the chemistry between these two, I like how they are Henry's mothers and he's fine with it, I like how their relationship changed from being enemies
to friends.
I've always loved conflicted/volatile/messed up dynamics, but if they really wanted to make it canon, it would turn the tv show around. It would turn television around. They're the main
characters. Strong female characters. In a fairytale world. They say it's a "family show".... Henry having their moms together, but like TOGHETER, is obviously the best option. And kind of
makes me want to believe in magic. They're that kind of ship.
There is no other ending for the show. Everything points to character development that helps construct a good and healthy relationship for both characters
they have such great chemistry and it would be a beautiful story
Because it's what he feels right in this show, and really makes sense, at the end. It would be an amazing and beautiful love story (because really, a Saviour and an Evil Queen .). Regina
and Emma are two strong women really alike and I think they would be perfect for each other because they understand, care and respect (at least now !) each other. There's a lot of
reasons, but those are the main ones ;)
I see the beginning of a wonderful story and an amazing relationship. It can also become the ultimate proof that love can help you overcome anything.

they complete one another. they are opposites, but also similar in a very unique way. they represented light and dark, hope and destruction, ... and it symbolizes the idea that "evil" can be
redeemed. that someone can love you for who you are, despite your past. it's two "lost girls" finding each other and recognizing each other's pain and healing together. also the positive
representation of LGBT families.
Because as I said, I think that they are the perfect match. There are so many reason to think that they could be the best TV queer couple since Xena and Gabrielle. I mean, c'mon, this
characters have been written to be together.
It is hard to explain. It just sort of...makes sense. It is a true love story.
Because they are each others true loves!
Best narrative! two similar women who've had similar pasts and their futures taken away from them and dictated, finally finding a love that they can choose for themselves. they
understand each other and they respect each other and they value the same things. also hella chemistry.
Because they are both henry's mother
For one, they're two very hot women or are constantly eye-sexing one another and get up in each other spaces. And making far too many innuendos. But, really, these two women have
come so far by this point, they've gone from bitter enemies to some sort of friendship, Emma knows how much Regina has changed and how hard that's been for her, she knows her. They
just click so well and they seem to have such a profound understanding of one another. And I think they already love one another in some way.
oh soo many reasons..
Growth, Chemistry, Henry, How they care for each other
I like the chemistry they have between them, not romantic chemistry, not yet, but sexual chemistry and just general chemistry as two people who understand each other. Also, they are the
most developed relationship on the show in my opinion, a lot of things still need to be addressed, but no other relationship of any kind can really boast this much development and time to
devoted to it I believe. I believe they are indeed stronger together. And I would also like to see a relationship that more closely resembles what my life looks like in this 'modern' adaptation
of fairy tales and finally be able to get it's fairy tale ending just like all the heteros get to(no offence to heteros, but that's all I see on this show. thanks but no thanks to a character(Mulan)
that almost confesses her love for someone of the same sex as her, and some people deny even this, and then never appears again on the show. this isn't a good message to people of
the non-hetero variety and our chances for happy endings)
I think its a wonderful and beautiful love story. Its a growing romance something i think is important when falling in love.
it make sense and its a beautiful story
The reasons I ship Swan Queen is because I believe that Emma and Regina both deserve happy endings. Their characters are both so similar to each other. You know, letting no one in
on their lives, except for Henry.
It would be an amazing story when the evil queen and the saviour get together at the and. Also, it would be one of the first lesbian fairytale things on tv and c'mon they look hot together.
I love the idea of redemption of the Evil queen through the Savior. I also love the full circle idea of Snow White taking away Regina's first love and later, being the one who helps her to
have her true love. And last, but not least, the idea of these two damaged women finding a new home with each other and their child.
I ship SQ because it is a beautiful, uplifting story. Honestly, it's because of the incredible onscreen chemistry between Lana & JMo. Every scene they are in together is magic. The way
they choose their acting & eye movement in each scene is truly a sight to behold. These two know exactly what they're doing, and it shows. The characterization that each of these two
women have are some of the best in the show, particularly Lana's Evil Queen/Regina. Her character is one of the best on TV right now, and is fascinating to watch. Even though she has
done horrible things, we can empathize with her and want her to find happinessher happy ending. And that happy ending is so very obviously with Emma & Henry as a family. Together.
Plus it's a happy ending that isn't the same old male/female romantic pairing that we've all seen a million times. This is fresh and new, and deserves to be shown. It's the story of Regina
and Emma, finding each other through a shared son, and finding their happy ending. TOGETHER.
Better people have answered this question far more eloquently than I ever could.
Chemistry between the actors/charectors, the relationship makes sense. Plus it's hot as hell. I think if it was swan/KING everyone would be all over it, xfiles, moonlighting, etc
Both Emma and Regina have gone through so much pain in their lives so they seem made for each other
Logical flow of story is ultimate realistic hero/villain shades of gray -good can be bad etc. Excellent character growth and chemistry
They have the funniest interactions ; Henry ; They complete each other very well ; I love to see the Charmings family and the Swan-Mills family blending in together
mostly the intense chemistry and the potential of the storyline
I think a main theme is Once Upon a Time is not only finding your happy ending, but being able to find that love and that hope despite your situation. Regina has grown SO MUCH as a
character. Her actions initiated the curse, and Emma broke it. Wouldn't the happiest ending be that the two people at opposite ends of the good and bad spectrum, two people who had
lost faith in love, find happiness in each other. Also, Jen and Lana look SO GOOD together... and their chemistry.... UGH!
True love Hope LGBT standards Because it fucking fits the storyline and i can't see any other character to be more deserving of the other than these two!
Mainly the plot. It's the thing that makes the most sense in the whole show. Relationship-wise, Regina and Emma ending up alone (Henry being each other's happy ending) or with each
other are the only options I consider reasonable. The whole premise of the show is the new take on classic fairytales. Regina is the character that most needs saving and Emma is The
Savior. This has Beauty and the Beast nuances, but with two people of the same gender. Nowadays we see some black heroes and some strong female characters as opposed to the old
days where black was bad and women were either evil or weak. Swan Queen has everything to be a groundbreaking tale. As in the words of SgtMac (a great author): "Because the Evil
Queen and the Savior falling in love with each other. That's the kind of insanity that literary lunatics write volumes about. That's the kind of thing that people in this world act out on stages
and writes ballads about."
The way they goddamn look at each other and the way they talk to each other and I just love those ships where they start off hating each other and I want them to raise Henry as one big
happy family.
The chemistry that seems to have naturally happened between the 2 characters, it's very natural and is more plausible than some of the other pairings
Their amazing chemistry. They have a kid together. They just get each other and THEY MAKE SO MUCH SENSE.
There's a really ambiguous interaction between the two since the very beginning of the show. The fact Regina had a monotone life before Emma who challenges her. It would be a great
storyline with the history Regina and Snow share, I mean, so many struggles. As the saviour, it's be great to see Emma save Regina too, she's already the only one who step up to defend
the brunette when there's a problem. Great chemistry on screen. I don't think the actress would be against this stotyline. Robin and Hook came out of nowhere as love intrts, and Neal
was too clich tmand expected to be satisfying. Swan Queen seems the most logical so far with their history, and it would be something that got built through several seasons: from
strangers to fighting moms to 'enemies' to acquintances/tentative friends to... Something more. AND their magic. I mean, Regina absorbed a death course to sage Emma and Snow when
she was supposes to loathe thzm. And Regina and Emma saved Storybrook with their magic when the blonde didn't know how to use her own. Isn't true love the post powerful magic. :p

*being delusional again*
For the chemistry between Regina and Emma. For the perfection they are together. And because each one represents the second chance of the other
They are beautiful together
Storytelling: it makes the most sense. Chemistry: they just work. The show's statement: reinventing fairytales and happy endings.
Initially, I was seeing gifsets of Regina and Emma's interactions around tumblr (I'm from the UK, so it hadn't even started airing here yet). They became one of those 'passive ships' that
people sometimes have, where you kind of ship it, but don't watch the show that it's from. Then Once started over here, I watched the first episode, and the second Emma rocks outside
Regina's manor with her little, '...hi,' I was like, BAM, THAT'S MY SHIP. JMo and Lana have a habit of staring intensely at one another, and I've seen the same technique mirrored in other
on-screen texts between a male and a female character who were perceived to be, or later became, or once were love interests. Ignoring that, though, the idea that the Evil Queen's happy
ending comes in the form of her nemesis' daughter is just... incredible. In fact, I'm disappointed in Eddie and Adam for not seeing it/taking that route. Not only would it be such an incredible
story to tell, but it would be a groundbreaking story of a lesbian couple that progresses further than the typical (awful) lgbtqa+ representation on TV. Swan Queen would be
GROUNDBREAKING. It would mean so much. It just... doesn't make sense for it to not happen within my lifetime.
Too many to count.
Becouse it's the best pairing on the show all the others try to hard and they just flow together
Because it makes total sense that it's a story about two women coming together against everything written in any book anywhere to make a family with the son they already share. It's
destiny while also saying fuck you to destiny.
I started watching the show and was drawn to Emma and Regina and it felt right to ship them - the storylines could be incredible - just like I ship snowing because it just fits.
Seems the only natural ending for the show
Regina and Emma are fascinating characters, very similar in some ways/experiences, very different in others. Plus, they have great chemistry. There's a spark there that shouldn't be
ignored! I certainly couldn't ignore it during S1 and the chainsaw scene... And don't even get me started on their developing magic. True love.
Jen & Lana have amazing chemistry. The Evil Queen & The Saviour it's just poetic.
The powerful chemistry The family dynamic The ability to overcome the gravest situation
They'd make the most awesome couple I've seen in any TV show!
Because Regina and Emma are two lonely people, they want a family, they want to be happy, they have had a hard life (they still have), and well, Henry is a kind of link between them.
Futhermore, Regina and Emma are a great team, they support each other, like when they do magic. It's also obvious to see they care each other more and more, even if they're still
playing cat and dog.
because they are powerful. not a girly / tomboy couples. because they have quite the same past and they can understand each other. and because they are both Henry's moms. because
ouat is a Disney'show, because it's a tv show about fairy tales and that could be the first gay/lesbian fairy tale ever.
My heart chose them.
I saw they are so much a like and look like a couple. The way they look at each others. So much in love and care.
Because I love Jen and Lanna. and they make a perfect couple, I feel this feeling inside me like a great strength. I will always love SwanQueen. With all my heart ..
Parce que c'est logique. Pour la cohrence de l'histoire, il est vident qu'Emma et Regina doivent finir ensemble. Si Emma tait un homme, il y aurait longtemps que ce ship aurait vu le
jour.
Great chemistry on screen and would be the most wonderful love story ever
they make so much sense, their chemistry and interaction are so incredible i see hem as Ying yang complementarity they are soulmate and i would hope lovers and partners.
It makes sense. If it were Reginald and Emma it would totally be on. It's hot. So much sexual tension..
There is definite chemistry between them and it's really exciting. I love the way that Regina is changing for the better due to Henry and Emma. And of course it's always enjoyable to watch
two women together.
Both are gorgeous ladies, both share a son, both rally cares about their son, both really completes each other, and both also kick ass *yeah!*
I see the strength of character in both women shine when they are together.
It makes sense both story-wise and character-wise.
Because they are right for eachother as characters. They have chemistry. They are what is best for the other. Also, I believe it is both their happy ending as well as Henry's. Swan Queen
happening would be the best thing they could do on the show to destroy the idea that love is only between a man and a woman. It would be sending a beautiful message that love come in
any form. I also love it for the plot: the vilain falling in love with the hero. They are the clich of the people that hate eachothers at the beginning and then fall in love. They also are the
clich of the blonde and the brunette. They make the best story. I don't ship Swan Queen because they are both women, I don't care what they are, they just belong together, male or
female.
For all the reasons I think SWEN are so passionate about these two. They are a perfect match, they complement each other, they both succeeded in making the other evolve and change
in some way, and I think they end up always bringing the best in each other. Their relationship is shaped by their life, their personalities, their differences and their similarities. It is not
perfect but it is genuine and based on their raw emotions, which makes it so organic, so relatable.
They just make sense storywise, their relationship growth is slow, steady and logical.
Because I pay attention to story telling and literary criticism.
They contrast but compliment each other greatly
It's the way Emma and Regina seem to trust each other and have a common purpose, that is Henry. I've never seen anyone as connected as these two.
The unspoken deep understanding, connection, and care between Emma and Regina
They just have so much chemistry. Plus they are by far the most interesting, dynamic and complicated pairing on the show. There is a certain irony in the 'Saviour' and the 'Evil Queen' not
only sharing a son but also gradually bonding. The show has barely touched on the magical element to their relationship but the scenes we have had so far remind me a little of the way
Joss gradually tried to introduce the Willow/Tara relationship on BTVS.

balance. 'good' + 'evil' plus being henrys parents
Chemistry, the story would be magical, they way they look at each other, the way they treat each other. They compliment each other.
The way they look at each other
It would make sense. Even their hate-love-relationship is beautiful. True love is magic. The chemistry between Lana and Jennifer. Therere many reasonsso many. I started shipping
them during the first episode of OUAT so
because it makes so much sense. because of the constant eye-sex. because the truely care for each other they both care for Henry and already look like a happy family. because they are
good for each other and trust each other no matter what.
My children (aged 10 and 13) started watching this show and used to tell me about how cool it was so one day I decided to watch it with them. Instantly I saw the chemistry between the
blonde and brunette. The way they looked at each other and seemed to have an underlying care for each other seemed obvious to me from the get-go. I asked my daughter if the two
women were together and she said "No, they're Henry's mums and Regina hates her mum." I asked her why that made any difference and she said "It just means they're not together yet.
I think they probably love each other though and will get married at the end" Ahahaha I love my children! We now watch it every week together (and i've caught up on season 1 where the
two women hate each other but oh so passionately). Their development is amazing and one of the main reasons why I watch the show. After the season 3A finale my children were sad
because "Emma's forgotten her love for Regina." I'm sharing this story mainly to show that its not just gay females who ship swan queen. I am an 100% straight female and its one of my
biggest ships. Also my entire family ship it.
THEY HAVE CROSSED REALMS, THEY HAVE SAVED EACH OTHER NUMEROUS TIMES, THEY ARE EACH OTHERS HAPPY ENDING. URM EYE SEX CARING FOR ONE
ANOTHER. IT IS ACTUALLY KEY TO THE PLOT. THEY SHARE CLOTHES. EVEN THEIR MALE LOVE INTERESTS ARE REMINISCENT TO THEM.
They fit together in my mind. they share a son. The Queen needs someone that can stand against her, give her a challenge. They fight well, there is this find line between love and hate, it
can go bought ways... and it sure have on this show... it went from hate, to a kind of understanding, if not a start of a rocky friendship.
Short summary then : the savior saving the one person needing it the most would be a beautiful and powerful story.
It will be nice to see a lesbian couple with an actual complicated story behind their relationship. They usually throw some random gay couples in tv-shows just to please the audience,
almost without context. This one would be different. Also they remind me of some real life lesbians I know, who discovered they were gay while married to men/with kids/convinced they
were 100% straight before meeting their female partner. Also Regina's boobs.
they are a perfect match for each other, yin-yang effect
The sexual tension between the characters. The whole savior saving the person who needs saving the most thing. The doing magic together thing.
They make sense. They are just as organic in development as Snowing.
Cause what I see is love. They first accepted one another and then developed something that I'd call love and affection.
It just makes sense. It is a beautiful story and it is, at the moment, the most logical choice.
All the above reasons, also this ship sails itself, u just need to watch the show to see it
Because they are perfect for each other . They're yin and yan. They compliment each other. Plus they are both the mothers of Herny.
I mentioned most of them above.
Incredible chemistry between the two; two strong women fighting each other and then together for their son; hot women who don't fit any lesbian stereotypes but with a real relationship
developing between them, slowly, over time; They couldn't be gayer if they were Xena and Gabrielle.
Emma and Regina are two sides of the same coin. They are the same, they want the same. I believe they should find it together.
Amazing chemistry, they are two sides of the same coin and let be honest, the love story between the savior and the evil queen would be an amazing plot!
Because they irrefutably complete one another, they are the yin to each other's yang, their character development, their magic interconnects them more than any of the others on the show
and this is bolstered by the fact that they ARE a family with THEIR son, Henry. I hope I explained that well. :)
Their relationship has been developing over three seasons. It is NOT rushed as other ships are on the show. It seems like the most sensible and most obvious relationship to make canon.
Regina and Emma just fit, I guess. They fit well together. They balance each other out. I can't find a reason to not ship them.
They have undeniable chemistry They are Henry's parents Evil Queen & The Savior; wouldn't that be a great love story.
They have a bound over Henry that made Regina and Swan a team for life. Regina must behave with Emma so she shows her her good side.. She can get through to her..
Do I need a reason.
See above. It just makes sense plus their chemistry is off the charts
both have been thought for a lot in their past, always feeling that they were never enough, felt misunderstood and that they were in a place where they didn't belong. What they most are
looking for is love and family. So I think there is no one else who can understand them better that the other. They are so different and so similar at the same time. And their relationship is
the one that have more development in the show.
They are yin and yang.
Aside from the story telling elements described above, I think it would be a wonderful message to send. That this epic love can be shared and attained by two women. It would resonate
with and empower me as a lesbian. It would be an amazing plot twist that most viewers were not considering. There are many dynamics in play that would benefit from building (and
concluding) the story in this way.
Too many too list. It makes sense for this storyline and it's beautiful and poetic for the savior, and Snow White/Prince Charming's daughter & the evil queen to fall in love. I feel that Emma
and Regina really are perfect for each other. They have a lot in common, yet they are different enough to balance each other out. Jennifer and Lana also have great chemistry together
that makes swan queen already so great.
Because the sparks between Regina and Emma, because is more logic than anithing else, because snow takes Regina's first love and will be totally perfect if her daughter is her true love,
and Regina, Emma and Henry is just the perfect ending.
It makes the most sense win the story and offers up the most compact and simple family unit for Henry as well as a good balance with the parenting of him. Coming from a mixed family I
can relate, and the chemistry is definitely undeniable, i could sense way back to season 1. I also think that they have tremendous potential for a healthy relationship, and it is certainly the
most interesting plot line the show could follow. It would make the most fantastic story and really show that Same-sex relationships are just as important as the rest.

I just think it makes the most sense, and I wanna see regina, emma, and henry together as a family.
It's a relationship that grows with each glance. They have a son together. Their magic.
I love Swan Queen for a few key reasons: 1. Who better to redeem the "Evil" Queen than the Savior/product of true love. 2. Emma and Regina are downright explosive, and I would love to
see that shown in a positive light. 3. They look amazing together and would be a strong, relatable couple. 4. Swan Queen isn't all about the smut, it's about the little things most people
don't see if they aren't looking. I think those things are a huge part of a successful relationship. 5. Lastly and. in my opinion, most importantly I see Swan Queen as so much more than
some fandom ship for some show. It's a community of people who understand each other and has given a group of people hope that, even though they aren't what most of society says
they should be, they get a happy ending too.
1. It is so obvious they feel more for each than just friendship. 2. it would be a great addition to the show, something that has not been done before (that I know of). 3. It just makes sense.
Savior saving the Evil Queen. Light teaching darkness that there's more in this life than just suffering and being afraid to lose someone you love. It just makes sense since episode 1.
other than the fact it makes perfect sense I ship it because I relate to Regina then I think a lot of people do. I know a lot of evil regals say they relate to Regina and I am not denying that
they don't it's just that it was like watching my own life with the show, especially when it came to her mother. I know what it's like to feel that fear that you are unworthy of being loved and
that fear of that darkness inside. I know it almost better than anyone. Emma might have her darkness and issues but no one is better to help Regina out of that darkness in her mind and
heart then the Savior. Emma has this light about her and deep down unconditional love and loyalty that in all truth Regina needs in her life and so do I. Swan Queen is my dream and hope
of someone once in my life loving me.
They for one are damn sexy, but secondly, they give me hope that one day I might meet my savior or queen. The actresses are amazing, but they are also skilled-they don't have to play
the characters like they are in love secretly, something is going on.
Because it's what I wanted the show to be - a complicated fairy-tale. It challenges the idea of good and evil, and hero and villain. And they spark together, like WOW.
They have amazing chemistry, they understand each other's pain and believe in each other, they share a son, and the savior and the Evil Queen falling in love is an amazing story.
It just makes sense!
I see my relationship portrayed in their story. My gf's personality/story is very similar to Regina's and so is mine but to Emma's. It's the first time (and the last) that i ship something that isn't
canon
Gosh. I could go on forever. I ship it mostly because I am a sucker for yin / yang stories and couples. Swan Queen is the story line that makes sense. Emma and Regina both make each
other better people. Honestly, this is the first time I have ever shipped a non-straight couple.
They have great chemistry together. It's just a great pairing.
Those awkward moments since the pilot, they really would be together if one was male, they secretly trust each other now. It's 2014 i mean get over it.
Because it is so cute and Henry deserves to have his entire family together. Plus all of those little moments completely says that Emma has a thing for Regina. Regina...eh I don't think she
realizes she has a thing for Emma yet. Everything is subconscious at this point.
They are already in a relationship and it's the better story- plus I really don't like the male interests characterization
Regina and Emma are perfect for one another, they have great chemistry and are gorgeous together
It's a perfectly balanced couple.
Because Regina and Emma have lived similar lives, have lost a lot, have loved and got hurt, have being betrayed, abandoned and hurt by those who had to love them and take care of
them. They have been puppets and that way their happyness was stolen from them
regina's and emma's long gazes and the trust they put into each other. and the fact that Emma wanted regina to meet henry, but not Neal.
Even though I'm straight I can still see the undeniable chemistry between them. I don't know if the actresses deliberately acted that way or not but you can't deny the tension everytime
they appeared on screen. And I kind of find their story quite romantic. The Saviour saving the Evil Queen. Not to mention that they already share a child who loves them both dearly... I'm
pretty sure were Emma a male Swan Queen would be canon by now.
Their arguments and compromises, their banter, their parallels, their pasts and the unique insights it gives them into the past and present forms of one another, their magic ability when
working together, their growing respect for one another, their mutual love for their son Henry, and more things that i just can't think of off the top of my head
Their chemistry, their banter, shared backgrounds, similar thought process, the way they're so different yet so very like each other, the fact that they can't keep away from each other, their
newfound trust, the way they look at each other, I could go on and on.
The chemistry between these two is ridiculous. The looks they share are absolutely adorable. If one of them was a man, their romance would be completely and painfully obvious.It would
also be canon. Since they're both women, I guess it's hard for some people to see it.
They make perfect sense to the story line
They really just exude a sense of caring and need for each other. Yes, they're beautiful women. Yes, they have the common bond of Henry between them, which is where a lot of their
interactions come from, but it's more than just motherhood.
They're both beautiful and match together. They could complete each other because each of them is different and that I find attractive.
the chemisrty
They just work. It would be the most epic story ever!
Because they're the only ship that makes sense from a storytelling POV.
Several reasons, Lana and Jennifer are sizzling, their chemistry is off the charts and both so brilliant. I think they make each other better and the more scenes they have together, the more
natural Swan Queen feels, whether canon or not. Plus they are both incredibly easy on the eye.
they are perfect together
It seems the logical route for the show. But also the characters just seem to compliment each other perfectly. Nothing to do with gender, family relations etc. Also the fandom is awesome!
Both woman are broken but strong. They've had to endure allot. I think their personal growth and becoming a better mother/ better person can be directly attributed to being in each others
lives. Love is supposed to make you the best version of yourself. There is so much to say about these two and how they connect to each other like no one else can.
It would be with the time. & those two have chemsity between them.

just the way they look at each other. you can see the love between them.
Like I said, mainly because it makes sense to me. I can see something else between them. Their relationship's been slow cooked and it can be seen from a romantic perspective. It'd be
kinda poetic, actually, that Emma and Regina would be each other's happy ending after all the pain they've caused each other. It'd be a cool arc for them, I mean... by now, we've seen
them as friends (3x13), so why not.
Because it makes total sense, it would be an epic and unique romantic tale. It also seems that all events points at swan queen being end game
Even as a straight girl, I can see the attraction they havw to one another. The on screen chemestry blows my mind. The story of the savior coming in to save the Evil Queen from her
darker self in an effort to find a happy ending would be/is a fantastic story and one that I think the writers should expand on. The way they look at each other, the way they seek each other
out when they need help and how they have accepted one another. Amazing.
Besides the chemistry and their amazing interactions, i think they make sense together. they understand each other and complement each other... yin and yang!!
Fun
They great chemistry together, they get eac other, have a son together, and are similiar on important stuff
Emma and Regina have the most intense relationship - even if its an open secret that the actors are not close - there is undoubted chemistry between them on screen. Equally, they are
thesis and antithesis, and a synthesis is always a very compelling desire. They really are the two characters that appear "fitted" for one another.
It just makes sense. Emma is the Savior and Regina needs saved.
Only pairing that makes thematic sense. I like seeing a couple that encourages each other's growth and development. I like the idea that people can be right for each other romantically
without heteronormative assumptions being made.
True love, light and darkness, balance, eye sex, hot couple, amazing bickering, mature vs child, Henry
it makes a good and interesting story & it has amazing potential for future episodes
because it's funny and i always that it will be happening
henry needs his moms! and it would be something else for a change
It's so clear- those women have such a connection on so many levels
Five mere words that tells it all: I love a good story.
I ship swan queen because it makes sense, there are these two strong women (who share a son) and they've both been through hell and back. They need each other, they both have the
capacity to relate with one another on a level that no one can understand.
1. There are perfect for each other. 2. It would be incredible for Henry's moms to be together. 3. I love Regina and Emma. 4. There needs to be more main gay couples in TV.
The acting choices mostly but also the way the afternoon characters are written.
Cause they're awesome, cute, amazing! Cause between them is big chemistry and they both might have amazing sex :D
The show is all about hope. It's about the idea that anyone can have hope, and hope is what brings light to any situation. It's about the idea of redemption, and finding happiness, and
understand who you truly are. In my opinion, Emma has been a huge part of Regina's road toward finding out who she really is, and discovering that good inside of her. Emma understood
Regina, because she understands what it's like to have a difficult childhood. They have both been through such similar things in life; they were both pawns in Rumplestiltskin's overall plan
to find his son. They both lost the love of their life. They both share a son, and for both of them Henry is the person who helped them develop into the person they are each starting to
become. They're both warriors united against their own fate, and trying to make sense of what little grasp they have on their own lives in the chaos of everyone else's. And to find true love
with each other would be an absolutely amazing, breathtaking storyline to see. It would mean a great deal to the LGBTQA audience, and show that two women can go through the exact
same stereotypical development of romantic feelings that we see so often in heterosexual couples... hatred that develops into understand, which develops into appreciation, which
develops into love. It would also show that petty disagreements can disappear and develop into friendship (and even love) if one only opens themselves up to it.
Is everything a viable answer. Their stories, interactions. The parallels between them. The chemistry between the characters. As I said before, I think it makes the most sense in terms of
endgame. There are so many reasons that I could carry on listing them for a long time.

Their incredible chemistry, the love for their son, their personalities.
I love the classic love/hate relationship and how Emma understands Regina and can connect with her. I don't know why I ship it really, a way of escapism or de-stressing I suppose -
exams :(
First the chemistry between the two actresses - that is where it started. Then the storyline makes the most sense - the savior saves the evil queen and because the savior is Snow White's
daughter it helps mend the wrong the Snow White did to Regina by betraying her secret. Plus, the storyline would be much more interesting than all these sometimes bizarre plot twists.
The show needs to focus more on character development and SQ would give tons of opportunity for that. The characters themselves are what drew people to the show, the writers need to
start focusing more on that and less on contrived storylines.
Lana Parrilla and Jennifer Morrison have incredible chemistry. And, what's more important, it'd be the best story they could tell, respectively it IS the best story of the show.
I believe wholeheartedly that the two characters are perfect for one another. They share similar life stories & hardships that bring them together especially the love for their son. Both
characters have shown a great amount of change and development in dealing with each other. Their love, admiration, and caring for one another is palpable on-screen.
It's the only story that makes sense regarding Emma and Regina. They have come a long way, they like each other, they care for each other and they have built up a trust. They have a
deeper understanding of each other, they know their dark corners, their wounds, their weaknesses and strengths, and above all they undestand each others life approach. Maybe Emma
and Regina are attracted to each other because in this otherness we live in, where we can't see ourselves but through others who mirror our selves back to us, the only reference they
have of their own solitude and pain is one another. And their best chance to heal is by helping each other to heal with genuine true love. The kind of love where you are able to love the
light and darkness of your partner, the kind that allows you to stay even after you discover that they are human and not perfect. That's where the true romance lies.
I ship Swan Queen because i care about this characters, i care about Emma and i care about Regina. I care for them individually and they are the best options romanticly for each other.
The understand each other, they trust each other, they have the potencial to be a beautiful Fairy Tale.
It would be beautiful. Both women have so many parallels, and then they are also supposed to be completely opposing characters. Regina is the evil queen - Emma is the savior. Regina's
curse that Emma was meant to break. Emma bringing back happy endings that Regina took away.. There's just tons of tension, and now there's also been so much character development
between the two. I could go on forever, but I'm sure we all know why we ship it!

It's the story, the chemistry, the under currents of what is happening...its actually fairly obvious when you start to see it
There is definitely a tension there, and from a literary perspective, it fits common romantic tropes. Also, it's hot.
The two main reasons: - chemistry between Lana and Jen - SQ is a very beautiful tale of family, love and impotant values. It differs from anything else on TV.
Except everything I already mentioned, I think it would be the greatest love story/fairytale, and also, the first homosexual fairytale, which I think is great. :) They can write history with this
story line and I think Adam and Eddy should embrace that.
See above
There are just so many classic tropes at play in this dynamic. Forbidden love via family fued, redemption of a character through love, Emma being the first person to give Regina a chance
to be herself, the slow-burn build up between the two, sharing a son, they make one another better, whether they're challenging one another or working toward a common goal. It's the
stuff that a love story is supposed to be made of. There is no other pairing on the show that has all of that and feels like it isn't forced. Sometimes I'm grateful that the writers aren't doing
this "intentionally" because everything they do endorse feels like I'm being force fed an "epic" romance that is really very superficial and disengenuous.
All my reasons are unintentional.
First and foremost chemistry, but also because of how unbelievably well it fits into the narrative. It would truly be one of the best love stories ever written.
Both are my favourite characters and share Henry, a Swan-Mills family would be perfect. Also I would love to see Snow's face when she realizes who it is her daughter loves
#TeamMommies!
That is a question that would take me way to long to answer. There are endless reasons, some of them I already mentioned in question 11. But I think the reason I want to focus on is the
fact that their relationship developed on it's own. It wasn't forced by fairydust, destiny or weak plot lines, no, this relationship has had time to blossom all by itself. And we have all watched
in awe as it grew stronger and stronger. It just seems so pure and natural, because it apparently has been "unintentional". This has made it the strongest of all ships, in my opinion.
Because of this natural development it just feels right. It's feels true.
First off, the story would be AMAZING - the daughter of Snow White being the Evil Queens happiness! The fact that they're the main characters would produce great representation and I
can just see their love when I watch the show and I think if they got together it would be beautiful.
-Queen loses true love, casts curse, the savior ends up being the Queen's true love; -Regina started of in a good track in life and ended up bad while Emma started out in a bad track of
life and ended up being good; -We see that they understand each other and know how to deal with one another, for example, in Neverland when Regina was crying over Henry's body and
Emma told her she understood how she felt, Emma at first was trying to empathize but then she realized that she couldn't empathize with what Regina felt and knew that if she kept that
line of thought she wouldn't help Regina so she just admitted that she didn't know what Regina was going through but she would do everything to fix it and Regina clearly appreciated that;
-They have crazy sexual chemistry; -They are both hot as hell; -Lana and Jennifer are also part of the reason; -This list could go on and on; -"How to get the savior to taste my forbidden
fruit"
It just makes sense, they would definitely be together if they were a female - male couple... And the chemistry JMo and Lana share is really amazing and unique.
Because their characters just 'work', they are the perfect loves for each other. Their stories have led them to find each other.
first, it would be the first gay fairytale on television and my country is homophobic and they always said bs like true love is between a man and a woman and they have been so proud with
ouat heterosexual pairings i'd really slap them in the face with swan queen being endgame to be honest. and of course their chemistry is undeniable. and their lines, parallels, and bc
they're family and they will always be. and let's not forget the eye sex every season ;)
they are similar it would be good to have a gay couple on the show they are meant for each other emma is the savior and regina needs saving
Because they are the two sides of the same coin, they just fit together and it would be an epic romance.
I'm tired of watching the same straight, white, perfect, pre-destined 'true love' couplings shoved on a pedestal and on my television screen over and over and over again. Swan Queen is a
messy pairing, one forged genuinely and fluidly over time. They're two people who were destined to oppose one another, to hate one another, and for them to come together would be a
huge middle finger to this idealised concept of the perfect relationship that fairytales consistently push. It'd also be pretty revolutionary for the main characters of a fantasy show to end up
together as a queer pairing. To often queer people are either minor background characters in the story of a straight person, or their story is centred entirely around their sexuality, as if
queer folks don't have experiences other than being queer. On top of that is the fact I just adore Emma and Regina's dynamic, it's one we don't get to see very often and I'm not sure how
to put it into words. The balance each other out. I like how Emma, as much as she wants to believe Regina, will walk away if Regina is fucking up big time (like murder..), it's a healthy
approach to a relationship and one we don't get to see in, say, the relationship between Rumple and Belle, where Belle casually dismisses Rumple's murder of his last wife instead of
demanding answers. I love watching as Regina slowly opens up to Emma in a way she doesn't with anyone else, when Emma invited her to the diner and she turned up all timid with
lasagne in hand, and her attitude towards Emma as she's leaving, even when she gets angry it's because she's not hiding behind her mask, it's because she's letting Emma in. There's
just so much development and so much depth and it's all wrapped up in this beautiful queer fairytale real world pairing and it just means the absolute world to me. I'm probably wording all
of this really badly.
The logic of their story, and the hope that the ship represents.
theres too many to list
It makes sense plot wise, and because I want Regina to be happy. I see what Emma does to Regina, and the family Regina needs is with Emma and vice versa. (Mainly because of
Regina though)
Their body language is the main reason tbh, their chemistry on screen is ridiculous.
I really identify with parts of Regina and I feel like she needs to be able to choice something/someone for herself and I really feel like Emma is who she'll chose. Also I feel like they have
may similar aspects but that they will balance each other nicely. ing and yang. Everything about then screams I'm in love with her.
They have amazing chemistry and obviously care a great deal about eachother!!
1, The sense of completion it would give, the Saviour saving the Evil Queen 2, It's continuation of the theme of family which is a core idea of the show 3, The chemistry between the two
characters 4,The whole concept of the two of them doing magic
There are too many to list, and many others have listed them before me ;)
Oh. just look at them, such pretty babies. And i don't really need more reason than Lana Parilla
They're the pairimg with the most obvious chemestry on the show. They share a son. They make magic together. They transcend realms. How could that be more obvious.!
cause so right for each other
Two incredibly strong women who learn to love again because of a son they share, plus the fact that had one of them been male, they would have been dating by the end of the first

season.
The only way this show can remain somewhat logical and somewhat believable with it's message of true love, second chances etc., is by those two falling for each other.
The chemistry, Emma seems to be the only one who gets Regina, they're a family, only two characters that don't annoy the crap out of me
The chemistry and how it could progress
The amazing actresses and the writing. Their story and continued character development. Lana has the BEST facial expressions and the writers have them interacting and growing in the
best way. Plus, I REALLY (like seriously, REALLY) want to have the scene in which Snow finds out. EURGH lol No, even better - she works it out BEFORE they do. *magic* :)
They are an incredibly dynamic duo in so many ways. They compliment each other but at the same time contradict each other in so many ways and maybe that's what makes it so
interesting. Of course Lana and Jen also have this amazing chemistry also and that doesn't hurt. But it would be a truly unique and modern fairy tale if (when) it comes true.
-Its the only ship that makes sense in the show. -Emma and Regina understand and have more in commo with each other than any other couple in the show. -The development in their
relationship and individualy has been great! -"Our Son" they are a family! -Regina gave Emma her happy ending -Henry : "Please, come HOME with me" Regina : "Come on Henry, Lets
go HOME" Regina is Emma's and Henry's Home. -They are each other's reflection. cc : JT's 'Mirrors'... etc etc!
The parallels. The chemistry. No one would ask you why you ship SQ if either was a man. The potential of such a storyline. How game changing such a storyline could be. It would make
history. Representation. They, with Henry are family. They accept one and other. They fight for one and other, and whether they admit it or not they care for each other. They understand
each other's loss. Everything would come full circle if they came together.
It is a fairytale. The gender of the protagonists is not a factor for their happy ending
(Common sense.) I just know that I've run out of reasons not to a long time ago.
Basically because they have insane chemistry. My girlfriend isn't really into shipping couples and getting hardcore invested in a show like I am. But she encouraged me to watch this show
that she liked and would tell me about. The first episode I watched I turned to her and said 'I bet there is a massive fan base for that ship'. She was like 'what.' And I go 'the hot queen and
the blonde, they have insane chemistry.' She just rolled her eyes and was all like 'is this going to be faberry all over again.' But yea, the way they interact. The looks they give each other.
And there is no plausible, logically reason as to why they shouldn't be a couple. They balance each other out and understand each other more than any other pairing in the show. And
them being together would ensure their happiness as a family with Henry.
it would be the most well developed relationship on the show and vastly improve the plot also it would show that queer relationships are just as deserving as magic, true love, family and
happy endings, while treating the characters as real people with complexities and flaws rather than stereotypes
Plot symmetry, palpable chemistry, united family, modern fairy tale "twist", and the characters just play off each other interestingly and well.
The set up of the characters is just too compelling. In the beginning Emma and Regina were united by their love for Henry and hated each other because of it. As this tumblr post floating
around says, if one of them were a man, it would be blatantly obvious that they'd end up together. And then they are diametrically opposite in their roles as the Evil Queen and the Saviour
as well. Again, if say Emma was a man, it'd be crystal clear that the Queen would marry the knight in the end. They're like yin and yang. And the scenes they have together prove that they
have an extreme amount of chemistry.
Because it makes more sense than any other ship. It seems more real.
The storyline makes the most sense. Representation. What it would mean to a lot of us. I'm very pro adoption, and I feel like the only way Regina can get her happy ending is with Emma
and Henry. And vice versa.
They have amazing on screen chemistry, they complement each other well, very yin/yang, it makes a great deal of sense to have Henry's two mommies get together, and it's a way to
integrate Regina into the main family of the show.
I believe there are soooo many subtle (and not so subtle) signs and parallels that it would be nothing short of baffling for it to not eventuate! Plus it is the greatest love story this show could
possibly come up with.
This post by ashermajestywishes sums it up well. http://ashermajestywishes.tumblr.com/why-i-ship-swanqueen
They're both powerful, strong women and they compliment each other.
Lana Parilla and Jennifer Morrison
they are cute together , the intense eyesex and of course i love villain /hero couples its just the idea of going from hating each other to loving makes me feel happy
Maybe this is cheesy but it's because of hope. I never had any stories I could read or tv shows or movies to watch where the characters are like me when I was growing up. It'd be nice to
have something that can make me feel like I deserve a happy ending too. That I'm not weird or different because of who I am attracted to. It gives me hope that maybe things can be good.
Also, it would be a seriously epic love story.. beautiful. There are tons more reasons but those are the top two. Oh and Lana Parrilla is the best.
Regina=happy
It started after I read SQ fanfiction. After that I'm became obsessed with this pairing. I can relate with their character. i always see myself as Regina and Emma. Someone that don't know
how to love very much.Someone that struggle with love and ego. I push everyone around me and I used to believed with happily ever after. So this pairing really give me impact in
personal level to me. Am I make sense. Lol
The obvious chemistry especially from lana
CHEMISTRY and the possibilities and the epicness of the story, The Evil Queen finding her happy ending with The Savior. The gender is irrelevent, its all about the story for me.
I love how Regina has found her equal in Emma and how there love for Henry they are able to work together but also when they have there arguments it's the hottest thing ever they are
made for each other.
Emma and Regina understand eachother more than any of the other characters. They don't work to bring down eachother's walls. They break down naturally. There's great chemistry, not
to mention they have the most developed relationship. There's the love they share for Henry, and just... I could go on and on but I feel like the rest of SWEN will do a better job. This is an
incredible fandom, and the hate all the fandom a throw at eachother needs to stop. It's ridiculous and immature.
Their hate/love relationship in the beginning was so interesting to me because it was so different to others you see on television and now you see it growing and you can clearly see how
much they understand and trust each other now.
I ship Regina with Emma for the symbolism of the pairing. - Regina hopes to redeem herself. However, you can't redeem yourself if no one is willing to believe you. Both Henry AND
Emma believe in her. ("I know her. I believe her" 2.10) - Regina has lost her way a long time ago, and of all the characters, she might be the most powerful but she's also the one who
needs saving the most. Who's the Savior. Emma. - Regina adopted Emma's child. This child brought his birth mother home. It has to mean something. - The early confrontations between
Regina and Emma shook things up in Regina's life. Her life in Storybrooke was uneventful, even with Henry by her side. Emma turned her world upside-down. - They have chemistry. -

They work well together (as a team, as in rescuing Henry for example). - Emma sees Regina as Regina. She does not know the Evil Queen. She doesn't see the Evil Queen. - Regina
needs someone who can handle her, someone who's not afraid to stand up to her and for her. So far, only Emma (speaking of potential suitors) matched her blow for blow and stood up for
her (I'm thinking all the times she defended her from the town or her parents or the wraith, etc) - Regina's True Love has a "lion tattoo". Take a closer look at the flower tattooed on Emma's
left wrist. It's either a "Clematis Ville de Lyon" or the flower that appears on her father's crest which also has a lion on it. In any case, it is related to the "lion" as well. - "Happy Endings are
not always what you expect. Look around you." (3.11) Emma and Regina look at each other. - Regina mocks every man in Emma's life: Neal ("that person", "what's he doing here." to
which Emma replied "Neal. Relax"), Hook ("Because your boyfriend came up with it.") and even Gold ("You need to be careful who you get into bed with"). - Regina, just like Emma, had
her first love taken away from her because of someone else (Daniel/Cora, Neal/August). - They both had their free will taken away from them at a crucial moment in their life (Emma when
abandoned by Neal and took the fall for him; Regina when Cora accepted King Leopolds proposal for her) - To some extent, they both spent time in prison. Emma behind bars, Regina
trapped in a castle and a marriage she couldnt get out of. They understand each other because theyve had similar experiences. - Regina's mother ripped Daniel's heart out but was
unable to do the same to Emma. - Regina, when working with Emma, has been able to open a portal, to stop the destruction of Storybrooke, and to make an eclipse. - Together they are a
balance of Light and Dark. Emma sees the good in Regina, Regina can see the bad in Emma. - They challenge each other. - Regina lost Daniel twice; Emma lost Neal twice: first time
because of someone else, second time because of their own magic (even though they did not really have a choice). - Regina and Emma both have a male counterpart in the series: Hook
and Hood. Surprisingly enough, these two men play the love interests of the two women. - Although unintentionally, Snow White is the reason Daniel died. It's kind of poetic if Regina can
find her happiness with Snow White's daughter. - Regina gave Emma memories of a happy life, she gave her her son and made Emma's biggest regret (giving up Henry) disappear. The
goodbye scene in 3x11 strangely looks like a wedding: hand-holding, tears, promise of a happy-ending with family standing in the background. AND THE LIST GOES ON. It's endless.
Chemistry between Emma and Regina, how powerful their magic is, their relationships with Henry, etc.
Because Emma believed in Regina when no one would. Because Regina helped Emma with her magic. Their magic. The looks. The way they interact with each other.
Because they just make sense. And Emma is the only one kinda worthy of Regina.
I prefer relationships that are grown through a culmination of interactions. I.E. The change in the standing of their relationship through seasons, instead of the unrealistic representation of
falling in love through a matter of a few episodes.
I ship SQ because: *they love their son more than their lives *they will do everything just to protect Henry *they have similarities in their lives which makes me think that they really belong
together *they have this "connection" towards each other, I hope it will turn to be love
Contrary to popular belief, is not because I want them to be gay or the fact that I'm gay. I just see their chemistry and the way they act around each other, how they remain side by side
even when they fight, and the fact that Emma is the Savior, is obvious she's meant to save the Evil Queen.
There are so many. It's maybe the only real developed relationship in the show, and it's obvious to me at least that these two have the support and understanding for the other that none of
the other people they've been paired with have. They're good for each other, they get each other, and when we're talking about an archetypal narrative, it checks all the boxes.
Because they have a lot of chemistry and i think they would be a healthy couple. They have a lot of development and they trust each other. I just think they would be good for each other
and for Henry.
The development of their relationship from season one where they are basically enemies to actually genuinely caring about one another.
They work, chemistry, characterization.
The chemistry between the actors, the fact that it's a damn good story, and the fact that Lana plays a very queer Regina.
The chemistry and parallels between their lives and epicness of their love story
They make sense together! And for Henryit would be so cute if his two moms ended up together and they were one family.
The story through sub and main text, as we see it tells their tale. The chemistry, the passion between these two women is off the charts.
They make sense together and if one was a dude they would be canon or endgame no questions asked.
Regina and Emma have great chemistry, and would would make a great couple, raising henry Swan-Mills family.
Parallels with Snowing. Episode parallels. Storyline parallels. Also, a story about the Savior defeating/redeeming/falling in love with the Evil Queen would be epic. Their 'opposites attract'
chemistry.... Dark/light (though each with a little bit of the other).
It started when I told my friend that if I wrote the show, Emma would end up with Regina and have a rainbow family, and that was before I even realised that I was shipping them. The rest I
blame Tumblr xD they can get into it way better than I can
I like couples that challenge each other, and that drive each other to be better people. Emma and Regina do that. They also both care about Henry very deeply, and Henry considers them
BOTH to be his mothers.
The chemistry between the two actresses is pretty amazing and Emma and Regina and Henry are the center of the show as far as I'm concerned.
It makes sense. 2 mothers 1 child. A different take on fairy tales, big chemistry.
It just makes sense to me. They have so much chemistry and it would be an interesting twist to the show. Not every princess wants a knight in shining armor some just want well.... a
Queen. Unfortunately I think it may be a risk the writers do not want to take or are too afraid too, but it would be a real shame to ignore that kind of chemistry between to actors.
There's not enough time in the day to answer this. But to summarize, they complement each other perfectly. They create magic strong enough to cover the moon! There's so many
reasons!
Honestly I don't know. The question is why not. Lol
Emma and Regina are foils in that they contrast each other in so many ways yet also have so much in common, which I could write a thesis paper about not gonna lie, but the literature
nerd in me loves them together as a subversion of several tropes and archetypes. In a less meta sense, they would just be so good for each other. They both have their own love- and
family-related traumas so them navigating a life as a couple and as a family is endlessly fascinating to me because they both have lessons they've learned that could help the other and
they could be so supportive of each other and they have the potential for such a healthy relationship (unless written by fanfic authors who just want pain porn or hate sex). But mostly it's
the complete breaking of precedent that they could do if good ended up in a healthy relationship with bad, if the princess rescued and was rescued by her Queen instead of waiting for a
prince, if flawed people were allowed to be flawed and human without being a hero with an achilles heel that provides conflict in the climax or an evil sorceress who's thrown off a cliff in
the falling action. Plus it would be so good to have such developed, faceted characters in a relationship that queer kids can watch and realize that queer people don't just have to be the
background characters or comic relief or pregnant and/or dead lesbians, so that queer kids can see themselves in the maintext instead of the subtext and know that they don't have to
hide.
They chemistry and that will be and interesting story, the evil and the savior together and not only for the kid because they belong together
The eye sex. ; ) Both actresses do a great job portraying the characters with so much chemistry (intentionally or unintentionally) whether they are throwing snarky remarks at each other or
working together to save the town. They 'produce magic' together, and the show keeps saying that "true love is the strongest magic of them all."

Regina needs love, wants love. So does Emma. They can offer each other so much more empathy! Honestly, Emma needed to find out Regina's backstory so much earlier, because I
think they would have been friends earlier instead of just united in a common cause. I so badly want this to be a show about women. And a show about a grey character.
Two strong, sexy women who can literally move a world together. They belong together.
The INTENSE emotion always emanating between the two is simply enrapturing and undeniable. The chemistry, the passion, the characterization differences/similarities, everything
comes together to make it a perfect power couple.
Regina understands Emma. Emma understands Regina. They both understand each other on a level no one else does. Not only this, they are brought together by their mutual love for
Henry. At first, Regina didn't think much of Emma because she abandoned Henry, but as they got to know each other, she realised that it wasn't just a simple abandonment and that it truly
was with the best of intentions. She realised that all this time, she also loved Henry as much as she does. She began to see Emma as someone who is just as broken as she is but in her
own way. They both have had their issues with their families. Both of them have felt so unwanted, unloved and unappreciated for so long and they recognised this in each other. From this,
no one else understood Regina's actions except for Emma. She recognised how she felt. She knew that she experienced hardships that no one shouldn't have to experience. She knew
that Regina did the best with the hand that she was given at the time, even though it wasn't the necessarily the right thing. She began to have a soft spot for Regina for this reason. Unlike
everyone else in Storybrooke, she didn't hold Regina's past against her. She saw her for what she is currently, and accepted who she is for all of who she is, flaws and all. Considering that
at this point in time, that was all Regina wanted. She wants to move on from what she did in the Enchanted Forest and no one else can get past what she's done. If anything, Emma
should be the one with the hardest feelings, since it was because of her, she was "abandoned" herself, but she doesn't. Since Emma is the only one who hasn't held anything against her,
Regina has a newfound appreciation in her. She KNOWS that she is like this because of her but she understood the circumstances and was the only one who was interested in looking
forward (and everyone else is only interested in the past). Regina has said many times that she prefers to be known as Regina, not the Evil Queen. Emma is the only one who sees
Regina as Regina and not the Evil Queen; she just accepts her for who she is and that was all Regina ever wanted in life, someone who just liked her for her, genuinely cared for her with
no sinister motives and didn't push her around. In young Regina's life, Daniel was the only one who provided her with this, and she lost him. She would have been so lost since she didn't
have this in Cora or Henry, (even though Henry - her father - was the closest she got but it wasn't quite what she wanted). Ever since, she has been trying so hard to resurrect him so she
can have that relationship back and her plan failed. Until Emma came along, that is. Since she does like her, accept and cares for her and didn't take advantage of her. Because of this,
Emma and Regina have a unique relationship where they just get each other on a level that no one else could possibly understand. That is why #SwanQueen should be endgame.
They've literally made magic (some strong ass magic) together. The eye sex. They challenge one another. Emma never knew the Evil Queen so she only knows Regina as Regina.
Regina, unlike Hook, actually changes her clothes. All of the Regina/Emma and Snow/Charming parallels. There are so many reasons that I don't have time to list right now DX
Epic fairytale with the savior and the evil queen.
To me they always seemed like the couple that was just bound to happen. The fact that they we're always fighting with each other, when in the end they had more in common with each
other then they could ever imagine. They want the same things they've had similar struggles and they know how to support each other. I see their relationship as a very stable and trusting
relationship.
They have chemistry that is magical
Because it gives me hope that someday homosexuality is nothing bad or weird
They have gotten to know, understand, and respect each other in a way no one else does. They also accept each other the way they are and have had development throughout the
seasons.
They're sexy. Oh, and the chemistry they share is unbelievable. Not to mention they are oppositely the same (makes sense in my head). They understand each other in a way no one else
does and they are a family.
It has the opportunity to be the greatest love story of all time. The Evil Queen and The Savior fall in love.
Because it will be the greatest love story ever told. A story I want to tell my children.
It's a beautiful love story, slow burn, showing two people learning to trust and love again through their experiences together. Swan Queen would show that home and family is something
that everyone deserves.
to many to say
It's true love, slowly being developed but indeed it is. One should be blind not to see it.
Honestly, there are too many to list. I believe that they understand each other and can see past each other's surface to what lies beneath.
Too many to list. But to put it this way, they both represent me at some point and a happy ending for them will echo my own happy ending.
I guess also because of the above. They make magic together, something they haven't done with any of their other "suitors." They want the same thing, according to the writers and they
already share a child. It would be the modern take on the tales they promised and it would also be the "done right" gay romance they also said they would add into the show. They are so
similar and understand each other so well it would just be a beautiful endgame. I just can't possibly see anything other than SQ/Swan-Mills being the ending.
1.It is a ridiculously awesome love story. The villain falls in love with the savior. Um...perfection. 2. Eye sex. Lots and lots of eye sex. 3. Physically, they look good together. Their physical
appearances complement each other. 4. They share a freaking child.
Regina and Emma's relationship has grown throughout the seasons. You can see that they now do care about each other (more than they'd like to admit). They balance each other out in
a way. "Good" and "Bad".
they are so amazing and beautiful together. They have great chemistry and would balance each other out. They would just be so freaking untouchable if they were together. and the eye
sex/sexual tension. c'mon
because it's adorable, and it would be great for the plot
Media representation and making history. Also, it's the only endgame that makes sense right now, and is also in the making of an epic love story.
Other than the reasons I see on the show, I ship them because it would mean a lot to me as an individual if there could be a brave leap of courage in the writing.
Way too many to list.
Mostly Regina Mills, but also the chemistry between Regina Mills and Emma Swan.
Chemistry between the leads, story opportunities
I see it on the show. It gives Emma, Regina, and especially Henry a happy ending.
Because is cute and make sense, they form a beautiful family with a history and both
because i watch the show and understanding how relationships - deep, fulfilling, important relationships- are developed within a script and through editing, acting, and directoral choices

They are attractive and smart. I like to think about the sensitive side of Regina. They are equally bad ass. They have a lot of chemistry.
There are so many... 1. They share a son. That's their link and it's great. 2. They keep saving each other. 3. Their magic, combined can stop unstoppable things. 4. Emma is Snow White's
daughter and Regina is the Evil Queen. (I just love that). 5. Parallels with canon couples. 6. They're both my favorite characters ;) ..... The list keeps going on
The chemistry is undeniably present
Makes the show interesting.
I think their chemistry is amazing and I enjoy rooting for the underdogs
Jmo and Lana chemistry. The great development in Regina and Emma relationship. Swan Mills family. Igor em this could be the greatest love story ever tell.
Because apparently I like shipping ships that have loads of chemistry and potential but no hope. Fuffy, Rizzles, Destiel etc.
It would tell an amazing story of the Evil Queen being saved by the Savior/
Because the plot would work so much better if they did it. It would make sense to keep the focus continually on Emma and Regina and to build up their relationship over time and climax
with them getting married and teaching Henry magic. Emma and Regina's relationship is honestly why I watch the show. They work really well together and share a lot but have some
rather extreme differences. They are better developed than any other ship in the show and more organic than any other ship. They would both grow and it would be amazing for their
growth.
It's cute
Would be a great storyline. MMs reaction would be awesome! These two women complete a circle. Representation of lgbtqa+ community (Short explanation)
Because they fit together like puzzle pieces and they work together a lot better than any other relationships in the show.
It's obvious! They are perfect for each other. They both have had bad things happen to them in the past. They are each other's happy endings!
Their hot. Also it looks like true love.
I enjoy the potential they have. I love fanfic clearly written during season 1, with all the possibilities of the "how" on them getting together. The psychology, motivations, angst - all wonderful
and intriguing.
SO many reasons! First off, Emma and Regina are basically everything the other isn't and they compliment each other perfectly in that sense. Then there's the fact that Emma is Snow's
daughter and it would be perfect if it turned out that Snow 'stole' her happy supposed happy ending but gave Regina her True Love in the end. Then there's the Team Moms which would
be so lovely to see Emma, Regina and Henry all under one roof being an adorable Swan Mills family. They also represent to totally different things. Regina, evil and badness, and Emma,
good and light. (though I totally don't believe Regina's bad at al) The Evil Queen and the Savior, Yin and Yang it just makes so much sense in my head. They understand what it's like to
have a shitty past and Emma has never once seen her as anyone else except for Regina and that's beautiful. Oh and all the freaking magic they do together!
They share a son. The chemistry between them is extremely strong. Lana has canonly said Regina has an underlining care & love for Emma. They have seen the other grow, seen the
good & the worst in the other & still care about each other, whether they ever admit it or not. Because they would be the modern day Romeo & Juliet.
I actually started shipping before I started watching the show; in fact, I thought they were canon. (I said I started watching S1, because I did watch from the beginning, but I began watching
after S2 had already aired a few episodes.) SQ for me represents the unlikely relationship that blossoms between the hero and the anti-hero. It's not a hard sell - adoptive parent meets
birth parent, both had difficult and abusive lives that led to making bad choices. They're actually very much alike, enough so that they could work well in a relationship while still retaining
their unique characteristics. The problems they've had in their relationship could certainly be worked through. I don't see this as a fast or easy road, but a fulfilling one that requires (and
demands, really) careful, thorough exploration.
i love both women; theyre both awesome. so, awesome+awsome = mega awesome. and mostly because they share henry. they did the divorced lesbian mommies thing the whole first
season. i want them to make up.
I gives me hope. Hope that one day Ill finally be able to come out to my family.
because i identify with the characters and just love jmo and lana
Amazing chemistry, they make each other stronger and they know each other better then anyone else does.
See above, plus it makes so much sense.
I think they match. They have a great screen chemistry; They share a family (Henry); They defy each other and make each other a "better person"...
It makes the most sense within the context of the show. Emma and Regina are the two best developed and most complex characters on the entire show (with the exception of Rumple,
perhaps). Their stories are tightly intertwined and they have a permanent place in each other's lives. They are also connected by what they value and what they want out of life: home,
family (Henry) and love. SQ simply makes the most sense. Also, I am a big advocate of the Swan-Mills family dynamic.
Because there is so much chemistry between the characters and if one of them were a male it would have been canon two seasons ago.
I ship Swan Queen because everything in the show points to it. I remember people telling me Bell+Red was a thing, but I can't see it. Swan Queen seems like the best bet. They share a
son, they care for one another and the kid, and there is heaps of tension, sexual and otherwise.
It is the most naturally built relationship on the show. Their development has felt very genuine.
I ship Emma and happiness. The EQ is so fantastically gorgeous and sassy. Opposites attract. They're both Henry's mom. Etc etc etc.
1. It's Henry's moms. When the three of them are together you can feel all the emotions. (Before I started shipping Swan Queen, early in the first season, I jokingly said that Emma and
Regina just need to get together so they can be a big happy family and then THIS SHIP ATE ME ALIVE) 2. No one understands Regina like Emma, who else could she potentially be
compatible with... 3. I refuse to believe that the chemistry exhibited by the actors (Lana and Jennifer) is merely coincidental. 4. and a whole other laundry lists of reasons
I ship SQ for the same reasons I ship any slow burn. They've built a dynamic, close relationship after initial argument and what seemed like obvious sexual attraction. I was so proud to
support OUaT in the beginning because it seemed like they were brave enough to move with the times.
Lana and Jennifer have such great on screen chemistry, andaccording to their characters' storiestheir union makes sense. And, most importantly, the gay community deserves more
representation of gay relationships on mainstream television.
everything every interaction that screams subtext
I believe the savior is to save the evil queen from herself in order to have freedom in storybooke or enchanted forest.

There are too many reasons why. But if Emma was actually a guy in the show they would already be together.
They just make sense and there is no way that there would be that many parallels with out it meaning something.
So much chemistry, a wonderful story both being mom to Henry and one being the person who cast the curse and the other broke it. They make magic together!
They just seem to fit with each other. They have great on screen chemistry and I live for the moments they are on screen together. They are the only two characters on the show who really
understand each other, in my opinion. They are very in sync.
I ship Swan Queen not only because of the amazing chemistry between the characters, but also becauseI beleive it is the perfect example for what the show is all about. Hope and family.
And what better way to represent lesbian and gay people by making them the main characters in a show about love, family, hope, and fairytales.
The show doesnt make any sense otherwise.
I ship Emma and Regina with happiness (I think they will be the happiest with each other!)
It just make sense in the generally arc of the show.
They're so perfect together, the most developed characters of the whole show and the biggest couple with the beat parallels
The main reason is the two actresses chemistry when they have scenes together & their body language when they're around each other.
The way the writers have set up the story, this seems to be the only logical conclusion.
It's the reason I watch this series. For me it is part of the story and the relationship just brings everything together to make a lovely fairy tale. I ship it because we need more stories like this
being told. I ship it because the characters have chemistry together, sexual tension, trust, things in common, they balance each other out, and they have a family.
First of all, will be a great history, new and refresh history, I mean The Savior and The Evil Queen, for me sounds fantastic. Emma and Regina relationship is the most developed in the
show, We have seen it since they hated to understand and respect almost friendly. Will be a modern fairy tale. They Shared a Son. Together they are unstoppable.
They just fit together. It's great to have these two women as roles models - that in a relationship they can still be individuals. It doesn't hurt that they look really good together.
Everything between the two characters screems chemistry. The way they look at each other, the way they fight, the way they help each other and of course their relationship with Henry.
Regina and Emma have a very strong bond, and i think it is quite obvious. Their relationship is the most developed in the show and it could become into the greatest epic romance if they
become canon.
Representation, definitely. There are seldom any main LGBT characters in TV series and even if there are, they are too overly sexualized or they are made to fit into the lesbian
stereotype. Also, nature/nurture conclusion. What ideal conclusion is it for Henry if not for BOTH his adopted and birth mother to fall in love, leading all three of them to be together as a
family.
There isn't really a reason to NOT ship Swan Queen. After all they've been through, Emma is the only one that doesn't ever doubt Regina because she knows who Regina is/wishes to be.
They have repaired the Mad Hatter's hat with a simple touch, created an eclipse, and stopped the trigger to the massacre of Storybrooke, which should be impossible to do. Regina is
obviously faintly jealous of all the men Emma has a "thing" with because she finds herself caring about who Emma entrusts her heart with and Emma does the same for her. Their subtext
care for each other is clearly visible.
It makes for great story-telling potential: - The Evil Queen and the Savior - Henry's bio-mom and Henry's adoptive mom - from rivals to reluctant allies to friends to lovers (fingers crossed!)
- so many parallels and similar experiences which make them understand each other - their story would be novel and it would be nice to have a same-sex couple represented on a show
about fairy tales, true love and happy endings...
the parallels, the "love is the most powerful magic" they opened a portal, they stopped a trigger, they moved the moon, etc.. They can relate on each others, they share a son.
I ship Swan Queen because is the only thing that makes sense in this show, that make the show some kind of good, and because they will be a amazing couple, they have a great
dynamic
It's a perfect story, if Emma or Regina was a man it would've been shipped from day 1, they are already family in that they have agreed to share Henry, and they have SO many parallels
to canon couples.
They have the most character development.
I ship Swan Queen because I think it's the best way for both the show to go as well as for the characters of Emma and Regina to go. Emma hasn't choose things in her life. She never
chose to be raised in foster care, she didn't choose to be abandoned by Neal and sent to jail, she didn't choose to be the saviour of a small town in Maine. However with Regina, I think
she can choose her because unlike Hook, Emma would be the one choosing Regina. Likewise with Regina, she has always chosen whom she loves and never had someone whom she
loves, chose her. Cora wanted power, Henry Sr. denied her true feelings ("you just have cold feet" at the wedding) We dont kno much about Daniel so he doesn't entirely count, and Henry
ran away and chose Emma over Regina multiple times. Regina's love people so much she holds on too tight, so with Emma if it's Emma who chooses Regina I think that'd be good for her.
...because its a natural and organic connection regardless of gender. If either Emma or Regina were a man, I would still ship SQ
It makes sense and if one of the characters was male then there would be no question.
Chemistry, parallels, past experiences, understanding one another, shared experiences, magical connection etc etc etc
It's beautiful while also realistic
The chemistry between the characters is just undeniable and honestly they've had the most intriguing and blossoming relationship over the seasons.
SO many I can't even list them I'm sorry
First off I Love Lana/Regina. Slowly starting to really like Jennifer too. I think there are these wonderfully written characters who really would be interesting and complex to watch get
together.
The chemistry, the parallels, the way that their relationship has developed, and the fact that it makes the most sense for the show. The show is about true love so it doesn't make sense for
either of them to be True Loves with minor side characters. Emma and Regina are the yin and yang of the show and it's been about their relationship from the start.
Because all these sub-romance plots are gross and disgusting and hetero-normative and aren't even remotely as interesting as SQ has the potential of being.
There are a lot of reasons why I ship Swan Queen; it makes sense to the story and characters, they have amazing chemistry, they already act like a couple, etc.
Wow I'm going to be here for a whiiiiiile. To simply put it, they just WORK together - when they are in a scene together, whether they are fighting or working together - they fit. They bounce
off of each others reactions with such an ease and it's wonderful to watch. I also ship it so much because of how amazing their development has been. From Season 1, where it was just a
LOT of tension and fighting and taunting, with very brief moments of where they actually saw each others vulnerability (e.g E05 Mine scene), to Season 2, where depsite everything going

on they managed to grow with each other (and apart) with a tentative friendship begining to brew in TCG - even though that was quickly lost - and you know that now Emma is never going
to lose her faith again in Regina - ever. I only touched the surface of their development through the 1st & 2nd Seasons, but let's get to the Season in which their relationship becomes a lot
more meaningful and a lot more canon. In Neverland, Regina learned so much about Emma and she listened and understood - leading to her gift that she gives to Emma & Henry a
'normal life' where Emma is never alone, all that Emma has hoped for. Emma KNOWS Regina inside & out and she trusts her and that's a beautiful development, especially when she
vowed she'd never trust anyone again (Swan necklace). They both see each other as Henry's other Mother ("Our Son") and they are recognising just how powerful they are together. Out
of every couple on OUaT, Emma & Regina's development has been the most natural and rewarding. Another reason I ship it is because I know how freaking huge the impact will be if
(when) it becomes explicitly canon. It's really just a HUGE bonus that when my OTP becomes canon it opens the gate to more mainstream media showing complex, canon lesbian
relationships, not to mention the impact on the 'real' world too. There are many, many more reasons, big and small - but I fear I've rambled on for a while already :')
- They already have a family. Henry is the most important person in both of their lives, so it just doesn't make sense for them to share him with random dudes when they clearly share that
"OUR son" bond. - The sexual tension has been trying to kill me for the last three years - Regina and Emma both understand what it's like to have your life twisted around without your
permission. Regina was forced to marry the king, when she never wanted to be royal. Emma was forced to be the saviour, despite having no idea how to handle that kind of responsibility.
- Emma's constant concern for Regina's welfare - Emma was the first person to see Regina as she is now, rather than as the Evil Queen who could never be redeemed. - Their working
relationship is actually brilliant. - Emma calls Regina whenever she gets stuck. - Regina can teach Emma how to use her magic. None of their love interests were/are particularly fond of
magic and there's always be that power imbalance, whereas Regina and Emma are stronger together. - Regina stuck with the Charmings for rather a long time in Neverland, despite her
constant (understandable) frustration with their incompetence. Why. Because Emma wanted her to. - I want to believe that Regina can be redeemed, and I think Emma can help. Emma
doesn't see the world in black and white like a lot of the characters, but as shades of grey. That's pretty crucial here, and it shows whenever Emma stands up for Regina in front of her
parents. - I want Emma to find a home, and I think Regina can give her one. There are too many! I could go on all night...
Emma and Regina understand each other. They both have a past they aren't very proud of, they both have family problems and abandonment problems, so they can kind of understand
where the other is coming from. But most of all I think they make each other better people. They may hide behind Henry as a way to hide that they are also doing it for the other but I
believe that by this point in the show they don't just care about Henry, they do care about each other.
Swan Queen makes the entire show so much better. It actually is taking Fairy Tales and moderning them for a new generation. The Evil Queen casts a spell. The savior breaks the spell
which ultimately gives the Evil Queen her happy ending. What's not to love.
1. Eye sex 2. Married 3. Why not.!.
These woman have both been so hurt and betrayed during the span of their lives. From the second they met, I felt a connection. You could just see it in the way they looked at each other
and it only grew in each episode. There has been so much character and relationship development between the two of them and it's practically canon as is.
it would be the most amazing (love) story ever.
It just makes sense and is the most well developed relationship on the show, romantic or not. They almost quite literally complete each other.
It is the ship that makes more sense within the show. It's a relationship that developed a lot during 3 seasons and can count on strong basis exactly because Emma and Regina hated
each other in the beginning and now they learned to trust each other and care for each other through many experiences that brought them together.
they have great blatant chemistry
The story just makes sense. The parallels, the looks, the everything.
I've seen the relationship between the two women grow and develop and the change. It feels like a setup to a romantic relationship.
Their chemistry is undeniable
You can't force chemistry; it's either present or not.
They cannot give us that much of mutual respect, trust, eye sexy and "we are stronger together" and expect that I don't ship
Because I believe that True Love has nothing to do with gender. Because the Evil Queen and the Savior falling in love and being a real family with their son would be the best love story
ever.
Emma and Regina have undeniable chemistry. There is a natural pull toward each other that is evident in almost every scene they share. If the character of Emma were played by a man
there would be no question as to their inevitable pairing.
To believe that even the most broken of women can find true love, magic, and fairytales together if they believe in one another.
They are a perfect love story, two mother who initially hate each other but then their relationship evolves... they get to know one another, they go from enemies, to allies, to friends and
then maybe to lovers. Its the fairy tale we never had where the couple actually meets and falls in love with one another. Of course representation of a LGTBQ family and relationship and
normal and fairy tale like is very important
They are adorable together.
They perfect About time some lesbian major role be on TV!
THEY ARE AWESOME. THAT IS ALL i can come up with at the moment.
I think I've mixed this and the previous question together- but I ship swan queen because it would be the best happy ending for all original characters on the show. Because the savior
actually being the redemption for the evil queen and the evil queen becoming the family that she took away from the savior, is just perfect, it fits. Snow would finally have a somewhat
stable relationship with Regina and some sort of forgiveness or at least understanding would occur. Daddy charming moments are the best, I can see him being great as a father in law
too. Henry would never have to choose between his mother's because they would live together (but if he ended up with one it should be Regina, but anyway). Because the message the
show would send would be a lot more meaningful if they don't just send Emma and Regina off with random not there from the beginning males (or females but I see no intention of that
anywhere). Because then no matter who you are, maybe there is someone that can save you, or make you feel at home and give you that happy ending.
They make sense, it makes me believe that there's hope even for the most wicked souls. And it provides a beautiful representation for the lgbtqa. It also fixes Henry's family problem and
Emma and Regina may be able to stop the fighting.
The story line, the events between them fit so well with the character for being together.
it would be a welcomed change from the original fairytales that have the girll flling in love with a prince, and there really needs to be more LGBT representaion in the media
The chemistry, Regina, Emma, Henry, their shared losses and experiences, how they're just so perfect for each other and can't see it which really frustrates me as I just keep
hoping...*sigh*
Chemistry
They just make sense

Makes sense for the story - Savior saving the Evil Queen, Daughter of her mortal enemy... I also ship because representation matters
So many reasons. I started crackshipping them because of YouTube and Tumblr, but it became a real thing for me. It struck me as very interesting that Regina was no longer meant to be
the antagonist in season 2, and that made me wonder what her true purpose was, since Emma was clearly the hero. And once I started seeing how similar their lives really were and how
even though they were no longer pitted against each other, they were still the core of the show, for SOME REASON, the idea of Regina being Emma's love interest was very plausible to
me. Plus there's the fact that I always saw more to Regina than just a villain, and Emma seemed to see that too. It just made so much sense when I started really looking at it, that it didn't
make sense to go back.
It makes sense.. I can't understand for the life of me why people ship CS & OQ. CS- I would ship this but there's one problem. Hook, He seems to only care for himself only, and what
really turned me off on this ship was when Hook said that he was glad Emma's heart was broken in the ep "The Tower" that showed he really didn't care for her heart. and people shipping
it, I just don't see how. OQ- It's rushed, way to rushed. and it feels like a huge middle finger to SQ fans, He seems like a replacement for Emma Swan and plus he's shady as hell. I don't
trust him, And his voice is annoying. SQ- Has 3 years of character development, Even though not a couple, their relationship wasn't rushed. They're very similar to each other, they both
want love & family, They share a son Henry, which it's he who brought them closer. and would be heartbreaking to see if these 2 don't become canon because Henry would have to chose
between the 2 of them. and they're the 2 he loves most, their magic is very powerful when together and the list goes on.
Obvious chemistry, solid foundation, romantic dialogue and scenes that convey love. the same reasons I ship all couples whether straight or not.
Their story would be completely interesting, powerfull, they have su much chemistry, their story would be unique, amazing, it just make so much sense, it also stands for the morals of the
show, that "True Love comes in any form", and "everybody deserves a second chance" It would be a TERRIBLE mistake and waste of potential to ignore all of it. Seriously, this have
"Xena" levels of potential
Emma doesn't prejudge Regina the way everyone else in Storybrooke does, which is exactly what Regina needs. I believe Regina isn't truly evil, but that she committed evil acts as a way
of lashing out at people who had what she didn'tsomeone who would love her selflessly. Emma can give her this because she doesn't see Regina as evil. In Emma's benefit, have you
seen Lana Parrilla. Hot damn.
I could do a dissertation on this, but I'll try to keep it short - *amazing* chemistry, the coming together of light and dark (although actually E & R are both morally gray, because life is really
morally gray), the beautiful of two somewhat broken souls finding faith, hope, love, and magic in each other and in essence saving each other.
- The idea of Regina falling in love with Snow's child is just beautiful. Snow ruined her life, but in exchange she will literally give birth to Regina's happy ending. - I'm in love with the story of
the biological mother and the adoptive one falling in love and becoming one family with the child they both adore. - The amount of fanfiction for this particular ship speaks for itself. The
possibilities it offers are endless and inspiring. This story NEEDS to be told. - The LGBT community deserves a love story like this one. Lesbian fairytales. YES, PLEASE. - God, they look
soooo good together and sparks fly when they look at each other. - They are so similar and so different at the same time... They are just what the other needs. Emma is destined to be the
good one, Regina is destined to be the evil one, but they both know no one is fully good or evil. - Their male love interests are just lame clones of the other one (Robin Hood of Emma,
Hook of Regina). - This one is important: IF ONE OF THEM WERE A MAN, THIS SHIP WILL NEVER HAVE BEEN PUT INTO QUESTION. And this just pisses me off.
Because they're perfect for each other, and the story supports that and if Emma was a man there's no doubt in my mind it would be canon
Lots of reasons. They are just perfect for one another, Emma is perfect for Regina and Regina is perfect for Emma, they both have Henry, together with Henry they form a family - the
Swan-Mills family.
It would be the ultimate revenge on Regina's part but also they care about each other like they care about their first love they don't have that with any other character in the show
They mean family , when henry , emma and regina r together they r happy and this show is about finding ur happy ending and believe ..so I believe emma happiness is henry and regina
happiness is henry .so henry unites these two they find happiness within each other ..usually when u take one of these 3 away the other 2 arent happy so yeah I ship SQ cuz is the best
chance at happiness with each other
There is a chemistry between them that so magical that no one else they are with works. They are meant to be and their love of Henry makes it stronger.
I ship Swan Queen because it represents what could be an amazing love story. A different type of "Disney romance tale' that allows for diversity and love in all shapes and forms. I mean
how awesome would it be for the "Evil Queen' and 'the Savior' to fall in love. It's a huge twist for a romance tale.
Swanqueen for me is about the hope of redemption. Everyone, regardless of how black their heart can be can find their savior, can find their happy ending. True love is magic, and it's
obvious their magic is powerful and compatible. It's the greatest and most powerful love story I've ever seen.
It is the only romantic relationship opportunity for both Emma and Regina, that actually makes sense. It would be the ultimate love story. The Saviour and the Evil Queen. The most
unusual pairing, but the best.
-"True love is Magic" and Emma and Regina have repeatedly combined their magic to accomplish things that neither of them could have done alone. This is a feat that is unique to their
relationship, they have done this exclusively with each other and it has not been replicated by anyone else on the show. -Their lives parallel each other in a complementary way, meaning
that they are able to relate to one another better than anyone on the show. -Their relationship parallels other canon couples on the show -Their personalities and their strengths and
weaknesses complement each other. There is a lot that they can learn from one another and they help balance each other out as individuals -They willingly share a son. They both love
their son Henry more than any other man in their lives, and Henry has a canon, true love connection with both of his mothers. -They surprise each other. Both of their lives have taught
them not to expect much support and understanding from others, especially enemies. They have defied the expectations of the other as both the Evil Queen and the Savior, but also on a
personal level. -There's just so many reasons, I literally don't have time to list them all
They obviously have grown to care about each other, and they both love Henry. I also love the hate-each-ther-until-they-love-each-other trope.
Narratively, it's the only thing that makes sense for Emma and Regina, at this point, and it's had the most build up and development. The foundation of it has been there since the first
episode. I also think it would be the most beautiful, hopeful, groundbreaking love story. Two people who share a son, coming together for him and finding how similar they are and finding
love and a family with each other, would be beautiful. Add in the fact that they are the Savior and Evil Queen; they have both had rough lives and have been betrayed; that they both want
a home, happiness, love, and family; the beauty in Snow White giving Regina another chance at true love; and the beautifully (unfortunately, rare) story of two women falling in love on
tv...and it's the magical story that will continue to live on, just like the rest of the fairy tales and stories the show is based in. It also, personally, gives me hope that anyone can find love and
someone who they truly connect with.
Let's see, A reformed Evil Queen with a hint of Asperger personality pairing up with an loner ex con running lying detector...and both of them with deep trust issues. What's not to love. ;)
And! Let's not forget THE drama this would bring to Snow White :P
Regina and Emma have definitely had chemistry since episode 1. In Neverland especially, they grew to depend on each other emotionally and care about each other outside of Henry.
Speaking of Henry, both Emma and Regina have stated that he is the most important person in their lives. They as a family unit are the most compelling part of OUAT, and I think that
between that dynamic and the amount that Emma and Regina care about each other, they will end up together.
Because Emma & Regina are both lesbians. Emma came out of the closet when she was a baby, and Regina never quite fit in to the straight-only Enchanted Forest for a reason. They
both make a point to look each other up and down with appreciative stares and fit just about every lesbian stereotype for TV characters. Neither woman trusts easily, but they both trust
each other. Regina would provide Emma with stability that she never had before, and would be the only one Emma could complain about her parents to, and well, it would explain a lot
about the Evil Queen/Snow relationship, because who doesn't hate their mother-in-law. Regina would be able to fall for Emma because Emma is the only person who can't have her heart

taken from her chest so she knows she wouldn't lose her like she did her former fiance. Pairing Emma with Regina would be the only pairing for both of them that would enhance the plot
and affect ALL of the characters on the show, as well as allowing the show to devote more time to the core 5 characters (6 if you include Belle). It would also allow the characters to react
to a pairing with "oh my god, the Evil Queen" instead of "you're dating a woman." and I really hate watching "gay panic."
It's the best story 2 women save themselves via bond over son they share. Now that's modern.
The chemistry and the amazing story it would make. It already is one. Both characters have grown so much and so has their relationship and their connection through their son.
1) Their chemistry is off the charts 2) Their characters are the best match, yin/yang 3) The storyline resolution demands it 4) Poor Henry needs it 5) I want a fairytale that I can better relate
to
They share a son They made magic together They are very similar Both had their 1st love die In their arms "Our son" Emma worries about Regina a lot Swan-Mills family hugs
I believe it is End Game because it makes so much sense. The story is about the Savior and the Queen, the Sheriff and the Mayor, Emma and Regina. They share a child, they have
eyesex. Just perfect together.
They're the only good choices for each other, their personalities compliment each other, the fandom is amazing, and I believe it could be a truly epic love story.
1. Swan-Mills family, Henry gets his moms together. "our son" 2. They complement each other, the savior and the one who needs saving the most. They go beyond titles. They understand
each other. 3. Magic. 4. Chemistry. Since the pilot.
My lady crush shipped it so I got on the boat too.
Because there are chemistry, it's a new story and it's incredibly interesting. It would also be the first fairy tale with a lesbian princess. It makes sense, the savior and the evil queen.
because they are a family, because they know each other better than anyone else.
To me, it just seems really obvious every time I watch an episode. Neither Hook and Emma, nor Robin and Regina feel like they could have any real basis for a relationship, where Emma
and Regina have gone through so much and share so much together. I think they're the match that makes the most sense.
I think that Regina and Emma compliment each other very well, and neither's story would be detracted from should they be in a relationship. Plus, the whole 'light and dark' thing is really
cool.
Oh gosh, there's so many. Henry mainly, not that I think he's the only reason that Emma and Regina connected, but I do *desperately* want the three of them to be one big happy family. It
would mean so much to the LGBT community to see people like us actually be allowed a happy ending on a fairy tale show. Also, the "good vs evil," "light vs dark" thing is really beautiful
in the swan queen ship. Emma and Regina really are two sides of the same coin, and the moral gray area in each of their lives is fascinating. Also...the actresses are freaking sexy as hell,
and they have better chemistry than any other ship in the show. It seems so obvious.
Because it makes so much sense as a story. The two women are mirrors of each other and the story is pretty much writing itself. They actually have to actively put barriers in place to stop
it from feeling so organic. Nothing else can come close to it, and the only reason it won't be canon is due to heterosexism and homophobia.
It gives me something to look at and recognize myself in. And Lana and Jen are beautiful.
I think they're compatible, rather perfect for each other actually. I don't think either of them have ever really felt like they fit anywhere and they've both had pretty crap lives (Regina with her
upbringing, obvious abuse by her mother, married at a young age to an older man who probably raped her etc. and Emma have abandonment and trust issues and possibly suffered from
abuse in many forms in the foster system) I feel like they can relate to each other in a way that they can't relate to others and I feel like they could help each other (to the best of my
knowledge, they already have helped develop each other, but I'm not sure as I stopped watching halfway through season two). I also ship them for a lot of other reasons that I can rightly
put into words at the moment.
In addition to the reasons listed in question 11, I think it would be such a great story to tell. There's nothing else on tv like it. Also, Emma and Regina are too alike to have it be a
coincidence. They are best together.
I think it would be a really bold move for the writers to let the evil queen find true love with the savior. I think it would be good for viewers to be exposed to a different kind of love
relationship compared to the mundane hetero power couples.
I think it would be the most epic of all the other options, it would be beautiful, and as Lana said, Emma and Regina have more in common than they know. I ship them because they are
stronger together, and because Regina needs saving, and because Emma needs someone who doesn't abandon her, and who loves her as much as only Regina can (look at how she is
with Henry, she has her faults but she really can love). I think they are the two most developed characters of the show, and also, Henry's family would be..well, having two sets of parents
is not as good as her two mums getting together. :P If it went any other way, he would always have to choose, and that's really not ideal. Also, because if any of them was a guy, it would
be the most obvious ship to EVERYBODY. Come on. two parents, heated arguing, saving each other, Emma standing up for Regina, Regina acting like a jelous ex, etc. Nobody would
even spare Hook or Neal a glace if it was that way.
That could be a thesis! I marathon watched S1 before S2 started, but I marathoned it because of gifs I had seen about Swan Queen. Even with the gifs I could see the chemistry but when
I saw the show first hand, it seemed to be multiplied by 100. However, in complete honesty, if it wasn't two women, I probably wouldn't have even considered watching the show. That drew
me to it, the premise of these strong women being the lead actors. When I heard about the chemistry between the two, that just pushed it over the edge for me. Also, the continued growth
of the relationship is what keeps me coming back even when the show is lacking, which is sadly often.
It made sense and had a good potential story arc. The characters had an interesting chemistry.
The explosive tension in season 1 (that make other characters unconfortable), the underlying care in season 2 (not so underlying in season 3), Henry, the way they complement each
other, understand each other and the beautiful story it can be.
Narratively revolutionary as a relationship, excellent rewriting of a traditional faitytale plot.
Chemistry. Story.- the Saviour and the Evil Queen. The characters mirror each other. Theyre both Henry's mom. They obviously care for each other even if it's not romantic right now.
Emma was the first person to challenge Regina in almost 28yrs. Regina doesn't put Emma on a Saviour pedestal. They see each other as Emma and Regina(Henry's mothers) first and
foremost. Unintentionally they give each other their happy endings - Henry. If either character was male this ship would've been sailing from the end of season one.
The parallels between Emma and Regina's lives are too much to ignore. Also the parallels between SQ and Snowing, who are the epitome of true love on the show.
God, I'd end up writing a 15-page essay if I had to start. But... to put it plainly, they have great chemistry on screen together, and I believe they are each other's paths to happiness. Neither
woman grew up in a "rainbow kisses and unicorn stickers" sort of past, and have been played, betrayed, and hurt by various important people in their life. Of all the viable love interests,
they are to each other the only people they can implicitly trust and /respect/. Even if I weren't gay, I would never ship CS or OQ, because /neither man shows any ability to respect either
woman/.
Intense magic making -> Doing things no one else is able to do with their magic. The colour coordination that is going on. They are such a beautiful family. They would do everything for
Henry (at least they did until the end of 3A) and ultimately for each other. 'I believe her' ... Regina's jealousy during 3A! There are so many more reasons! Editing choices, directing choices
etc.

The premise itself (opposite destinies, sharing a son) and the magic they do together, as well as what seems like obvious foreshadowing in the writing/directing/editing (the romcom zoom
in 3x13, the "happy endings aren't always what we think they will be" quote and cut to Regina in 3x11). The reasons are seemingly endless, but mainly, simply, the story just makes sense.
It's the best story they can tell, the most logical, most poetic, most beautiful conclusion it could possibly have.
They are two sides of the same coin. They are two jaded, lonely people who believe are alone in the world but long for a family and a home. And funnily enough, they would give each
other just that, because fate keeps intertwining their lives in the most meaningful ways. Their story is interesting and compelling and they represent what the show stands for: love, family,
magic... They are the epitome of that.
I like they're dynamic. I think they match in a way that currently none of their love interests on the show have. I think they have great chemistry and I enjoying watching they're relationship
evolve and, just in general, watching their scenes together more than any other two characters. I also believe that if either were a man they'd already be together or set up to be a romantic
coupling for the future and all things being equal that makes me root for it as well.
Because it is the happy ending I never got.
The sexual tension, the eye sex. Both ladies are hot.
I want a True Love story that I can identify with. There are 100000 shows for male/female romance. I want to see something beautiful with female/female.
Oh dear god there are too many, but the biggest reason is because they will be a true family, and also because they're both sides of the same coin and just mesh so well together.
Thematic, narrative and character.
I believe that Swan Queen makes the most sense, because Emma and Regina have very similar experiences and can understand each other and the mistakes the other one made. They
also are very different and it would be amazing to see them work those differences out. The person they love most and would sacrifice themselves for is Henry and he would have the
family he always wanted. I also believe that, although Hook and Emma would fit together, that Hook is way too selfish for Emma. I don't believe he would put her happiness first and
although he he is good with Henry, it would make Henry's family situation even more complicated. I don't think Robin and Regina should be together, because it feels very forced. He starts
to flirt way too soon and it is very rushed. I also don't think think that they are soul mates anymore, because so much has happened to Regina that she is a complete different person now.
And Emma and Regina have breathtaking chemistry since season 1.
Because their relationship has been developing slowly and realistically and I see aspects of myself in both characters and want them to be happy because that means maybe I could be
happy, too, some day. Also, true love shouldn't be a privilege that's only for straight folks even in fiction.
Love the characters. They are so perfect for one another, and their story is one out of a Jane Austin novel. They just are perfect for one another, and I love them with Henry.
I think they're two of the only characters that can truly understand each other, and they're already very closely connected. I also thing it' would be poetic, to have the saviour save the evil
queen with love.
It's a beautiful and creative and different love story.
I ship them because they make sense and the through the entire show we've been given hints that something might be going on between them. I mean, no one could have missed that
looks Emma and Regina give one another. Both of them have developed through the show and are slowly trying to open up to love, they are both Henry's mothers and they are so damn
cure together.
Well before I add to answer no. 11, I'll cut myself off here. There's no time! Let's say I agree with all of fandom's reasoning, specs, observations etc. Also, obviously, it would be great to
have this on an American show, for the LGBT community, but mostly because it would make for the best slow burn in a series ever, and it would make for the best story OUAT could offer
anyone right now.
It is the most epic love story - the savior and the Evil Queen falling in love, the saviour being the child of the woman who contributed to the Evil Queen becoming as evil as she did.
Character dev. It makes the most sense!!!
The chemistry between Emma and Regina (Lana and Jennifer) it explodes off of our screens every week.
They both love Henry, they balance each other, they understand each other and can relate better than other characters. Both they seek a family and soneone to choose them, both they
need to feel safe in a relationship and they are already a family because of Henry.
The chemistry. It just makes sense from a story standpoint- the savior and the evil queen. I love the drama it would bring with Snow and Regina's rivalry not to mention how the whole town
loves Emma, but hates Regina. I also would love to see Regina being fiercely protected by someone as Emma would inevitably do and Emma really needs to be held on to really tight and
never abandoned and Regina holds on extremely tightly to the things she loves. I want Regina to gain redemption and for the town to realize she's changed and is a person worthy of love,
which I think only Emma loving her could show them. Also they are so powerful together- I love the idea of an ultimate power couple, especially two women. Lastly, a lesbian couple shown
to have true love is such an important step forward for society.
I think the characters care deeply about each other, and from a storyline perspective, the Evil Queen with the Savior is wonderful. I think they are two sides of the same coin. They also
share a son who loves them both.
I love the idea of the Evil Queen and the daughter of Snow White and Charming, the so called Savior, finding love with one another. I'd still ship it if it were a het couple. Though not as
hard. I think it's a beautiful story. It would give OUAT quite the legacy if the show runners decided to make SQ canon. I just, I don't even know. I really just love the idea of those two
broken, discarded and disappointed people finding love in the other and building a family with Henry. I also love SQ because it's about choice in the end. I find all the other potential
relationships and their talk about destiny quite disturbing at times. Self-determination is important, and SQ is touching upon that.
It would tell a beautiful story Emma and Regina challenge one another (and as of recently in a less hostile way) more like bring out the best in one another. Like Regina tries to be better
and Emma expresses more of her emotions.
The saviour and the evil queen is an amazing story. The characters go well together and could depends on each other without having to compromise their own selves.
It's simply the best story!
Henry co-parents, actual relationship foundations, interesting dynamics
If they did it and did it right, it could be a damn good story
It just makes sense to me. The way they act around each other mostly convinces me. Stolen glances, inquires about where they are going or if they are okay, both of them caring about
Henry.
Out of all the couples, Swan Queen is not only the fluffiest ship I have ever seen, the relationship itself would be so strong. Each woman, hurt by the past, I believe can mend each other's
broken heart. NOT TO MENTION THE EYE SEX!
It just seems to make sense. It ties up the custody issue nicely without Regina getting left out as Henry's mother as she often seems to be and it allows them all to be in each other's lives

as much as hey want. Also, Emma and Regina have the most chemistry of anyone on the show
they have great chemistry, they share a son, they save each other when the other one needs it.
The characters exist for one another. The chemistry between Lana and Jen is too much to even be real. For me it's the happy ending both deserve. It's a beautiful family. They share a lot
of things, most important being the love for Henry...etc...
Because they are both Henry's moms. Because of the chemistry. Because the savior should save the evil queen. Because of the way the story is written. Because it's the only ship that
makes sense and isn't thrown in our faces.
Emma and Regina have a connection that no other people in the show have. Their characters have so much potential (for a relationship). Each person has what the other needs. I look
back on the show and see their development together. I see two people that have grown stronger, and have become better people. They are so alike (even Kitsis said this) and they fit
together like a puzzle piece. Emma got to see Regina's development and vice versa. They have had an interesting relationship from the start and through out the seasons it has just
developed more and more. If they were to become cannon, they would have the most perfect relationship. Not to mention, it would make a HUGE statement in society: that a homosexual
relationship is just as beautiful as a heterosexual one. The list of reasons why they should be cannon are endless. The content, parallels and connections between the women prove this.
Undeniable chemistry between the characters. Also, hot ladies.
Not only is it electric but it makes sense. I ship lots of couples based on chemistry, which Swan Queen no doubt has in abundance. But above that it just makes sense. I ship it for plot,
because it would be a wonderful story, and it would tie up so many lose ends.
It is the most logical fairytale happy ending yet it is unconventional and fresh. I like that these characters have been through so much and are continuing to try and be better. They have
learned to work and trust each other and there is a love in that. The acting is phenomenal and not apologetic either. If they were directed to do it, they did it well. If they weren't and the
directors/editors liked it enough to keep it, that tells me something.
Regina & Emma
I ship Swan Queen because, well, just think about it. We have an Evil Queen and a White Knight the Savior, if you will. Whats so special about the Savior, you say. Well, instead of
having your usual, tired old formula of the man is the white knight and will save the damsel in distress, we have the Savior as a woman, who is gradually falling in love with the
supposedly irredeemable Evil Queen, who will soon be her Evil Queen (actually, I shouldnt even say Evil anymore because Emma no longer sees a vile woman who was a mass
murderer and ripped out peoples heart, but Regina). And we also have the Queen slowly falling for the Savior, who will soon be known as her Savior. Sure, theyre not having their
honeymoon in the Bahamas as of yet, but were slowly but surely getting to that big beautiful wedding between two people two women whom have found love where they least
expected it, with each other. Swan Queen just makes so much sense to me. These two beautiful, complex, strong, broken women have grown and evolved both individually and together.
To me, they have grown and evolved the most out of everyone on Once Upon a Time. They know each other. They understand each other. They know each others pain like they know the
backs of their hands. And this isnt even the only reason why I ship them so much. Emma and Regina, no matter how much theyve argued and bickered with one another, share a true
loveand Im not even referring to romantic love right now. Im talking about familial love their son, Henry. Yes, Emma and Reginas true love is Henry. Not some random hunky dude
from Bumfuck, Nowhere, but Henry, the little boy who is growing up so fast right before our eyes. Henry had been in a tug-of-war with his moms, one saying, Hes my son! and the other
bellowing back, No, hes mine! We are no longer going down that path. My son and Your son has turned into Our son. And what would be a better fairy tale ending than having Henry
Mills-Swan returning home with both his moms walking side by side. And even this isnt the only reason I adore Swan Queen. I ship Swan Queen because I see myself in that fairy tale
book. I see people like me in that Enchanted Forest walking, talking, laughing, cryingbasically just being like everybody else. And thats all I ever wanted. For the media to show me
(the lesbian), and everybody else who is part of the LGBTQ+ community as just another human being. Because thats who we are. Were just like anybody else, and all I ask is to be
treated like anybody else. And with Swan Queen, I see a little part of myself being represented on the TV screen, and it makes me smile. Because you know what. I ship Swan Queen
because I want them to have their happy ending. I believe everybody, not just straight people, is entitled to have a happy ending. And when the show ends, I want to be able to, one day,
find my princess (or queen), look her in the eyes and say, You are my happily ever after.
Why, well mostly because the story behind it all would be amazing to see on television it would be something that has never been seen before and it would be special and quite amazing to
show that true love happens to everyone. And show that only love matters not the gender and how they can be a family together and have their happily ever after.
TOO MANY TO LIST. GO TO THE BOOK OF SWEN.
it'd make a beautiful love story. great ff ;)
The epic love story of two mothers finding ultimate love with each other against all odds, making each other only better and supporting one another. I want to see the Swan Mills family
come together and be healthy.
Hot dayyummmmmmm and also chemistry and mommies and awwww
They are the 2 most important characters on the show and they have great chemistry together even not as a couple.
Storyline seems to lead in that direction. I like them as a couple.
They're both wonderfully complex characters and their personalities go well together. You can feel the natural chemistry when they have scenes together. Plus their stories have been
connected with each other the whole time and they share a kid. It just makes sense.
Mainly the chemistry between the two.
Regina and Emma are so similar in very vital aspects that allows them to understand each other like no other characters on this show. They have extremely great chemistry as well as the
two of them being the center of this story "The Evil Queen" and "The Savior"they balance one another. They have a connection in Henry and I would love to see an untraditional family
represented in Regina/Emma/Henry as well as an LGBT representative relationship between two strong major female characters.
The whole show. Character development, how the story is set up, the plot. They are the new fairy tale. Emma & Henry are the show 's creation, and REGINA IS their evil queen but now
her story is being told instead of Snow White 's. We see their first meeting in the pilot, their chemistry is insane, they check each other out all the time, they always look into each other's
eyes much longer than necessary, they invade each other's space, they understand each other from the beginning and it has only grown& deepened. They have so many parallels with
each other & the Canon couples, but are still something totally their own. Both have had their choices taken or manipulated. Both have destinies they didn't want. They 're connected by
the curse, Henry, their magic & how they understand each other. Both have saved the other several times. Both learned to love & be a better person because of Henry. They want the
same things. Storybook s their home. Just everything on sacredbookofswen
the chemistry the magic the dynamic
The idea that the Evil Queen's ice heart can be thawed by the inherently good Savior would be an incredible love story to watch playout.
The characters fit well together. I love redemption stories. Great chemistry between the actresses
refer to the Sacred Book of Swen ! :) (too many reasons really) but it would me the most epic love story and if the writers have the balls to make it happen, then we will still talk about
OUAT in years and it will be famous and rememberd for it
The actors have very nice on-screen chemistry. The storyline is kinda of epic with Regina's redemption arc. Henry. More queer representation on television.

chemistry
Well I don't know... It would be the most beautiful love story ever tell on TV and I want people to know (including my future childrens) that EVERYONE can have a Happy Ending and true
love no matter your sex orientation!!!
it just makes sense
So much chemistry wow
Chemistry, how good they could be for each other, fits the (early) character arcs, because it would be an epic love story-the saviour and the once evil queen. Also, yes, representation in
media. But mostly just the love.
I ship SQ because it's the greatest story being told in OUAT. Emma and Regina's lives are impossibly interwoven and one can't exist without the other. Them coming together would be the
end of a circle started when Rumple designed the curse and decided Regina would cast it and Emma break it.
eye sex
Logic. The actual logic in the show. Emma is the savior. Regina makes curses. Only true love is powerful enough it can break a curse. Besides that the writing and acting. I didn't intend to
ever ship swan queen but it's so obvious in the storyline I found it impossible not too
Because: the sexual tension from the very first episode because costuming ships it because the only thing Regina and Emma have both ever truly wanted are love/ a family and they can
have that in each other because I want Henry to have both his moms. I might be straight, but it would be so great for the LGBT to have two strong women in a relationship! I invited her.
Emma sees her as Regina and not the evil queen. Because I want to see the Charming's reaction! Because alone they are awesome, but together they make each other's magic work and
they are like superheros or something. and I guess a little because they're both gorgeous and would just look good together :P
How well they mesh A family for Henry
They're perfect for each other, they understand and trust each other more than anyone else. Plus insane chemistry. It just makes sense for them to be together
They make one of the twisted most romantic and complicated fairytale in a long time.
The chemistry between the characters is so amazing. The dynamic that they have would lead people to believe that they would end up together.
The chemistry between Jen and Lana, they look good together, the story makes so much goddamn sense, the little "unintentional" details.. ect
It is the purest story of love I have ever seen written. They are exactly what fairy tales are made of and what we all dream about as kids.
I ship Swan Queen because I see these two broken women from the start and as we saw their characters grow it was like they where growing together, becoming stronger together,
understanding each others pain and happiness all at once. All the of the eye locking and trustworthiness they have developed in one another is something you only see when you find that
one, believe. They just get each other and that is something so lovely and refreshing to see between the savior and someone who use to be very evil. The way Emma cares so much
about what happens to Regina as well, is just so darn cute. Also just seeing them work together on things is special. And also Swan Queen has become so much more than a ship to me,
it has become somewhat of a symbol of hope. That even when you are at your darkest, your lowest point you are redeemable and their are gonna be those who except you and everything
you are, love knows no bounds and I definitely see that within the Swan Queen fandom, every where. I just believe they could be on of the greatest love stories of all time.
I ship them because of chemistry between the actresses, the fact that it's the one relationship on the show that has grown so much over three seasons, the message it would send to
people, the fact that the story itself could be so incredible and because the road so far has been about the evolution of Emma and Regina as women and mothers.
To me, basically, they are two sides of the same coin, so similiar in some aspects and different in others. Ying and Yang, working so well together and understanding each other. They are
survivors, so powerful despite all they've been through. Both want the same things: love, family, just to belong. Together they managed to do what True Love represents. Also the
actresses' chemistry help a lot too.
This could be deep, original and an interesting story. And at the moment the only development which makes sense
Raw, on-screen chemistry. As well as the multilayer story that it would represent if actually carried out.
1) its right there in front of our eyes 2) A lesbian family would be a perfect and timely twist on traditional fairy tales. 3) I want to see a family like mine represented as the main focus of the
show.
Wow. Where do I even start. These two are mind blowingly awesome! They share scenes together that are extremely intimate, sexy, funny, and heartbreaking. Emma and Regina are such
a unique pairing. These bamfy ladies also share a son and lesbihonest, you can't really get much gayer than that. Their magic combined is just so damn powerful! "True love is the most
powerful magic of all" They share common past lives that really ties them together in the end. There's no denying that Swan Queen's chemistry is off the scale. These two are just perfect
for each other.
Incredible natural chemistry. It makes sense. Beatifully developed relationship. If one of them was male, they would be canon.
To numerous to write. But my main one is simple. Family.
They have amazing chemistry and the entire relationship has developed in an amazing and heart warming manner. They play off each other so well and are what the other wants in their
partner. It would also make them sharing henry so much simpler.
I just love the characters of Emma and Regina, and I think they're so perfect together and should be a family with Henry.
It makes sense, it's gay, Lana Parrilla, it's gay, I'm gay. They're hot. It's gay. It would be perfect in the storyline.
They've got crazy chemistry, all the pieces are there for a beautiful love story
I'm a sucker for hero/villain pairings *cough*BellamioneandCissamione*cough*. The fandom was probably a big influence as well. Um. All the usual shit, I guess. And, if I didn't already
ship them, I probably would just for the sake of shipping as many queer ships as possible.
There are so many parallels between not only Swan Queen and Snowing, but between Emma's and Regina's lives. At the end of the day though, for me, it boils down to chemistry. If that
wasn't there then the parallels wouldn't mean nearly as much.
Their chemistry on screen is great and the story would be A very interesting one. It would be the ultimate reconciliation of good and evil-something that every fantasy show should have.
Plus, growing up gay, there are no fairytales to identify with, they have a great opportunity to change that.
The longing looks they give one another, their story lines mesh perfectly together, and the way they always put one another in consideration (whether it be to protect the other or if anything
happens they call on each other, whether it be good or bad).
Chemistry and plot wise this relationship makes sense.

More LGBT representation in mainstream media, particularly in regards to fairy tales. Familes could be introduced to LGBT relationships as legitimate "true love" is a relatively positive
way. It's a fun ship and the fandom is very creative if not overly emotional. Also, HOT.
They have amazing chemistry, as well as it is the best choice for Henry
The whole premise is centred around them. The chemistry is insane. They make magic together. They look at one another like they're the most precious things in the world. Henry and the
Swan Mills family. It just makes sense. And they're beautiful, separately and together.
Where to begin: The subtext The Eye sex The fact that they started off hating each other and calling Henry their own...and now they respect each other, trust each other, and now call
Henry THEIRS. What better story than the savior saving the one person who needed the most saving.
Why would I not. There is do much love and connection between the two!
They are the perfect literary, poetic couple. Good v Evil morphs into something more gray. Snow took Regina's happiness, then "gives it back". They share a son, adoption v blood fight is
resolved. So many reasons.
They have super good chemistry and learn from one another and can keep learning from each other and it's beautiful, man
Because it's perfect. It's true love. It's family. It's the fairytale ending I was always made to feel would never be possible for queer women. It's also the only ship that in no way takes away
from either character...they just...fit. And it's beautiful.
They're the only ones that understand each other. And the tension is unreal.
They just fit...if the writers had the balls to make it happen (i don't think they will) it would be a beautiful and revolutionary fairy tales...epic romance right there that will be talked about
years to come. CS and OQ are forgettable, SQ isn't.
They just fit together. I like the idea of the Savior being the one to break the Queen's curse and also give the Queen her happy ending. I like the idea of Snow's daughter being able to give
Regina her happy ending after what happened with Daniel. I like the idea of Regina and Emma coming together because of Henry and finding true love with each other through their joint
love of their son. It would just be the most logical and beautiful way for the original premise to be concluded. The show started with Emma and Regina; it should end that way.
