Fanon: Regina gets jealous. Emma does not. 

I’ve been given a couple of prompts where this has been requested, and I’ve seen it appear in a few fics by other people as well.

Fanon always interests me - the things that fic writers deem a necessary part of portraying and exploring these characters and their relationships.  For example, I think that Emma being the “White Knight” belongs more to fanon than it does canon.

But the jealousy thing…where does that come from?  And why DOESN’T Emma get jealous?
