Beauty Queen

Beauty Queen is the femslash ship between Belle and Regina Mills from the Once Upon A Time fandom.

Pre-Curse
SKIN DEEP

Belle is walking into town, when a carriage pulls up and stops next to her. Regina opens the door and asks if her carriage splashed Belle, but Belle says she's fine and starts to walk away. Regina announces that she's tired of walking, and decides that she'll walk with Belle for a bit.

Regina notes that Belle isn't carrying much, and Belle says that she didn't want to be slowed down. Regina puts it together that Belle is running away, and asks if it's a master or a lover. Belle is silent and Regina decides that it's both. Belle tries to get rid of Regina, saying she needs a rest, but Regina puts an arm around her to keep her walking. Regina says that Belle is leaving her master despite loving him, and Belle says that she might love him. She could be able to, except that there is something evil in him. Regina says it sounds like a curse, and that all curse's can be broken by True Love's Kiss. She laughs it off and says that she would never tells a woman to kiss a man who held her captive and that if he loved her, he would have let her go. Belle says that he did let her go, but Regina says that there was still no kiss. Belle asks if a kiss would be enough and Regina repeats that True Love's Kiss will break any curse.

During Second Curse
BLEEDING THROUGH

Regina is going through everything at the Pawn Shop, when Belle angrily comes in and demands to know what she's looking for. Regina says that she needs something to destroy Zelena, since she has her heart. Belle steps back, but Regina assures her she protected it from being used to control her. But she needs Belle's help to find something, and asks what she has in the shop. Belle says that what she has is self respect, and asks what she would help someone who physically and mentally tortured her for the entire time they've known each other. Regina's impressed, but Belle just tells her to get out. Regina finally acknowledges that what she did was awful and apologizes for what she did. Belle takes a moment, but says that she's been trying to match all of the ingredients to spells, but it would help if she knew why Zelena wanted Regina's heart. Regina has no idea why, before realizing she needs the candle that Snow used to kill Cora. Belle finds it, but says there's no power in it, but Regina needs it anyways.
