⤀ “Falling Catching,” by @hencethebravery. | After a long, hot summer, Emma and Killian escape Storybrooke to enjoy all the aesthetic pleasures that fall has to offer. Post S6, newlywed road trip 2k17.
Notes: For CS Halloweek (“Seasonal”)! Please note, I am a biased little bean and had the babes spend some time in NY because NY in the fall is the actual best. The lil tale Killian tells towards the end is taken from a short story by Angela Carter in The Bloody Chamber. Many thanks to @the-reason-to-sail-home for her notes on this. Also on Ao3.
+ A few months after the wedding (and yet another curse), a few months after things return to normal by Storybrooke standards, the weather finally starts to turn. Summer takes an unusually long time to end; the hot, occasionally humid days persisting long after the first official day of autumn. By the end of September, the heat starts to feel oppressive. However much Emma had enjoyed the feeling of the sun on her skin, had vainly admired the smattering of dark freckles on the bridge of her nose and along the tops of her cheeks, her enthusiasm had begun to severely wane.
