Notes: Holy crap, what a ride guys. What a ride. The fic has so many hours poured into. A lot of sweat and even more tears. There was a point where I thought I would never finish it and I nearly fell into the abyss. However, I had such a wonderful cheerleader, beta and friend in @aerica13. I’m so glad I met you. You’ve been nothing but a gift. Shoutout to the moderators of @captainswanbigbang, it’s been quite the experience. I would severely remiss if I didn’t give the incredible @shipsxahoy love. Do you see that art? It’s positively breathtaking! It looks just like 80s movie poster! She makes this fic look like a blockbuster! Without further ado, I give you my Jopper-esque Stranger Things AU.

His mother Emma willing to do anything to get him back even if it means teaming up with her ex-boyfriend from high school – Chief of Police Killian Jones. They soon discover the truth is stranger than fiction.

The worst week of Emma Swan’s life began like any other – on Monday morning, late to work and looking for her keys.
“Where the fuck are they?”
The worst thing she could imagine at this point was August firing her for being late again.
(It wasn’t the worst. Not by a long shot.
Unimaginable pain was a stone’s throw away because she lived in Storybrooke, Maine where the last time someone disappeared was 1923 and the last murder was in 1961.
But that was about to change.)
“Did you check the couch?” David asked calmly, not looking up from the frying pan where he was fluffing scrambled eggs to perfection.
