"One of the other great things about Once Upon a Time are the shippers, who live out the fantasies we never get on the show. Some people ship couples who appear on the show, like Outlaw Queen and Captain Swan. But there’s also a very vocal group of Once Upon a Time fans who have shipped a same-sex relationship between Swan Queen Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison), the show’s savior, and Regina Mills (Lana Parrilla) the show's reformed Evil Queen. The show started with these two incredibly powerful characters hating each other, then growing to be friends. They co-parent a child and protect each other fiercely, so why can't they fall in love? Shippers write great fanfiction, hilarious recaps, and make swoon-worthy GIFs. Their posts go a long way towards convincing you this couple will be canon, even if the showrunners have pretty much squashed that idea. "
