slow dancing in a burning room is a Once Upon a Time Swanqueen vid by nialies.

It is a story vid where the narrative is a break up between Emma and Regina, with the creator mentioning it was inspired by divorce AUs. Its sequence of clips and the clever use of out-of-context voice-overs tells the story of their dissolving relationship.

It is a well-liked vid within the fandom, and was included in onceuponatimegraphics's Swan Queen Starter Pack — a resource for fandom newbies — as a "must watch" vid. As of September 2024, it has over 54,000 views on YouTube.

This vid was nominated for a Swan Queen Fan Award, in the Summer 2014 round, for "Best Video"
