Pretzel Week. Day 3:
Coworkers in the Enchanted Forest AU
For centuries, the Knights of the Tower had been chosen to serve and protect the kingdom. The call had been fleet, showing up at different stages in life.
For Killian Jones, it had been at birth, when the blue light descended upon him and his mother had to leave him at the steps of the tower with a soft kiss on his temple and a promise ring that Killian carried on a thick silver chain that hung at his neck. His life had been nothing but serve and protect, not giving a single thought to nothing else.
For Emma, the Swan Princess and heiress to the throne, had been at eighteen, when the blue light came upon her during her coming-out ball. The Queen and King had left her at the steps of the tower with tears in their eyes as they held onto her little brother, now heir to the throne.
