“It’s nice,” she blurts, and bites her lip forcefully to hide her wince. “I mean… not that I didn’t think you were nice before…”
“You thought I was a screaming alcoholic with terrible taste in music and a severe cholesterol problem.” He lifts an eyebrow, one gently festooned with red glitter. “You can say it.”
CS Pirate/Princess AU: When pirate Killian Jones sneaks to the forest to escape the royal guard, he doesn’t expect to run into Princess Emma Swan. A chance run-in quickly becomes a regular meeting, and trepidation gives way to love. When the castle announces a royal ball, Killian knows he has to find a way to dance with his princess, no matter the cost.
Merry Christmas Hollye! I was your CS Secret Santa, i hope you have a lovely holiday ♥ ( @hollyethecurious )
Running away to join the circus is like – the biggest cliche ever, but it’s the only available solution to Emma Swan’s very immediate problem. Running from the cops and with a freshly broken heart, Emma just needs shelter, a job and a ride out of town. She never expected to stumble into a world of real magic complete with witches, werewolves and a trio of shape-shifting brothers. Beast-taming isn’t so hard when the “beasts” are really humans in disguise. Taming were-panther Killian Jones might just be another matter all together. But maybe a lost girl can find a home among the “circus freaks”.

Summary: When word of Robert Siegel’s departure from NPR’s “All Things Considered” goes public, Emma gets the chance to compete for her dream job. All that stands in her way are nine fellow journalists – one of them being the charismatic yet cocky Killian Jones. When she ends up paired with Killian on the first story, things get more complicated as she tries to balance fighting for her long-time aspiration and her budding relationship with this fascinating fellow reporter.
I had the best time creating this cover art for Jordy. (You can click on the picture to see in full size) She created an amazing story that you should all read now. If you like the frenemies/co-workers/friendship-turn-into-love thing, then this is perfect for you. Read it and let Jordy know how much you love it. I had a lot of fun creating the whole set and creating all the logos was definitely a learning experience and I’m really proud of the final product.
Also, check out the amazing gifsetcreated by @sailingcaptainswanMegan did such a beautiful set capturing key moments of this story, go show her some love.
Thank you @the-girl-in-the-band-tshirt for your amazing reactions to the art, without your fic there would not have been any inspiration at all. And thank you @captainswanbigbang for creating the CSLB project for authors and artists.
Lastly, Megan and Jordy! It was truly a joy to work with you both.
It All Starts With a Dance
