Technically this isn’t a ‘real’ crossover, but I loved the movie
‘One Day’, up until it broke my heart and left me sobbing so bad that
I couldn’t see the screen anymore. 

Though of course
this little one-shot does have a happy ending, because the last part
of the movie ripped my heart out and I would never put you through
that agony. 🙂

2014

They’d chosen this particular date for a reason … the 21th of July.

Because it was their day.

Of course they were about to take this monumental step on this day.

21th July 2000

Her sixteenth’s birthday had been two months ago but Killian had decided that they needed to celebrate it again. Not that there had been much celebration on the actual date. Her foster family wasn’t that bad, she’d seen worse. But they didn’t really care about her. She’d gotten a new pair of shoes and a donut as a birthday cake and that was that.

Emma had stopped hoping for real birthday gifts a long time ago, but then Killian stepped into her life three days after her birthday and even though he didn’t have much money he still managed to give her a special day after he’d found out that he’d missed her birthday only by three days.

They spent the day in the park, feeding the ducks with old bread and sharing an ice cone. It was a beautiful day with the sun shining bright and the wind breezing just the right way so that the heat didn’t get oppressive.

In other words it was perfect. A perfect day.

So they decided to make that day special. They pinky promised on it. No mattered what happened they would always reach out to each other on this day.

Always.
