So, after I put my preview up yesterday, I was blown away by the response I had for it. As I put in my preview note, I have written this for AU Week, and to be honest, I’m surprised it has been finished in time. I suppose it mostly fits as a bit of Canon Div and completely AU.

Sorry if I missed anyone

Summary – Magic always comes with a price. Sometimes, it’s immediate, like having the darkness forced into you, other times, fate waits.
The new minted Dark One, Killian Jones, may think his first curse is nothing more than a bit of ripe punishment for royals of the Enchanted Forest. Until he meets an enchanting Bounty Hunter in a tavern twenty nine years later.
After, magic comes with a price.
‘You
aren’t the Dark One.’The
Evil Queen’s voice echoed around the cavernous
hall of the castle that now belonged to the new minted Dark One. Killian Jones
quirked his eyebrows at the newcomer and removed his boot from the giant oak
table. He had been lounging in contemplation of what comes next – what did one
do after emerging victor after a two hundred year feud? His blue eyes narrowed on the black-clad
monarch as she strode the length of the hall in an imperious manner. Her black
dress glittered when it caught the light streaming in through the floor to ceiling
windows on the south wall.‘Well,
Your Majesty,’ replied Captain Hook, with a wave of his hand. In the swirl of
smoke, a dagger of ornate design appeared in his hand. He twisted it in the
light showing Regina his name engraved in the wavy blade. ‘You are very much
mistaken.’Her
hazel eyes zeroed in on the dagger. Killian smirked as he flicked his wrist,
the dagger vanishing as quickly as it had appeared to return to its place deep
in the vault below the castle. He may well be the new incarnate of the Dark
One, but he was a centuries-old pirate.
He knew a murderous look when he saw one.
