Summary
The envelope said “Larry Wilson” on it. “To be read in case of the death of Ellen Wilson,” it said underneath in smaller, clinical type. Larry swallowed. With Apollo 24 careening out of control and out of communication they had all assumed the worst. The worst had come for two astronauts; Deke and Harry’s wives had received their letters. Ellen’s envelope had been with theirs in the Apollo 24 files and, instead of filing it back away, someone had handed it to Larry.
But Ellen had told Larry she loved him from the moon. She was still up there, the lone American at Jamestown, a living pioneer. It wasn’t goodbye, and this letter was unnecessary. By rights, he should return it to the file he shouldn’t have had access to in the first place. Still, Larry was curious. What would she have said? What could she?
Let's find out, shall we? ;-) Don't worry--this is a Pam/Ellen ficlet and Larry goes back to his sliderule quickly enough.

Summary
“Ms. Swan,” she gave Emma a brief smile, “I’m Regina Mills. It will just take me a few minutes to finish up here. Please, sit down.”
Emma sat down across from… Regina? Ms. Mills? and took the opportunity to study her for a moment. Her short, dark hair flipped out a bit at the bottom and yet every individual hair seemed to be perfectly in place. Her lips pursed thoughtfully for a moment and then she briskly closed her laptop.
“Now then, hello.”
“Uh… hi,” Genius, thought Emma. I’m conversing like a genius. Also, I don’t think I brushed my hair this morning. Did I brush my teeth? I hope so. What next? “Thanks for volunteering,” she ventured.
“Oh, I owe Ms. Lucas a favor. She shared some of her best recipes with me. Plus, I was a young mom once too.” Regina Mills smiled smugly as Emma started in surprise and began to correct her.
“Appearances matter, Ms. Swan. You have spit-up on your shoulder.”
“Oh, it’s not mine,” Emma said. “I mean… obviously not the spit up. The kid isn’t mine either. He just spits up on me. I’m a nanny,” she finally clarified.
Emma is a live-in nanny for Mary Margaret and David. Regina is her career mentor. Fluffy slow burn ensues.

Summary
The pupcake fandom on Ao3 has always been a lovely and supportive community, and in these days when many of us are necessarily limiting our real life socializing, that community has become even more vital. So a few of us have banded together to bring you a patchwork of (very) loosely interconnected stories, based on the surrealist drawing/writing game known as exquisite corpse.
Each author is given just the final sentence from the previous story in the series and from that alone, they construct their own short fic. The stories can be canon era, AU, genre fiction, fluff, angst, smut - whatever the prompt might inspire! Then they pass on their own final sentence and the game continues. There is no set order, and anyone can claim a prompt that strikes their fancy.
