This country claims to be democratic but 9 unelected people who’s values and opinions formed decades prior, who can get into this position without strong or even any valid credentials, can decide to negatively impact or even destroy millions of lives and they cannot be held accountable for it. They can’t be impeached or voted out. It’s only the most convoluted combination of election-year voting, voter suppression/lack thereof, and idk fucking cowardice from both sides that got any of them to where they are now. 9 people who are cemented in their beliefs and then use the law and constitution to justify their moral opinions that they insist don’t influence their rulings at all. We can’t vote then out. We just have to hope they retire or die under the presidency of someone who doesn’t want to actively kill everything, and eve then we have to contend with any given republican or spineless Democrat in the Senate.
And even then, we cannot get rid of them. Nine people make decisions for 300+ million, affecting their ability to defend themselves, to live peacefully, to lead healthy and happy and safe lives. Nine people can ruin lives for decades to come.
This reveal features 2 fics, so be sure to check out both!

Title: but I will run until my feet no longer run no more Link:Click Here To View and Comment Author: Defying_Expectations Find them on: -Twitter: -Tumblr:watchmedefy Rating: Teen and Up Audiences Warning(s): No Archive Warnings Apply Words: 31k Summary:
All her life, Emma wanted only to belong. And just when she finally starts to get her wish, everything begins to change. Henry’s no longer a kid who needs her like he used to. Her parents have a new child. She herself seems to have acquired something resembling a boyfriend. And Robin and Regina are in a relationship.
Emma doesn’t know what to do or how to feel about these changes. So she starts running. Not too far away, and never for long enough to cause her family worry. Just far away enough and for long enough to protect not only them, but herself.
Until the day when that’s no longer enough.
A canon divergent fic/rewrite of season 4A.

Emma’s magic is out of control, but she can’t figure out why. At least not immediately. What is she to do when the solution to what ails her is also the problem?
