When the Evil Queen twists the Genie’s Wish to send Emma away from Storybrooke, Hook and David find a way to follow her to a Realm created by the Genie’s magic. There, they encounter alternate versions of themselves, which force them to do some soul-searching of their own. This is a canon-divergence fic of the Season 6 Wish Realm episodes. This story is for you if you enjoy Captain Charming & Captain Swan.
@just-be-magnificent’s incredibly fantastic gif-setfor the story. They cheered me on to finish the story and helped with editing as well. All my love and thanks to them! Thanks to the Big Bang mods who have done an excellent job organizing and running this event! Hope you enjoy!
“Genie of Agrabah,” declaimed the Evil Queen. “I wish…that Emma Swan’s wish to have never been the Savior…be granted.”
And with a wave of Aladdin’s hand, Emma Swan abruptly vanished from sight.
The board was set, and the chess pieces assembled: Regina, Hook, David, and poor Aladdin—the genie of the Lamp—stood horror-struck. One invaluable piece had just been knocked off the board by the Evil Queen.
Summary: A lot can happen in ten years; mistakes, triumphs, questions, and answers, all things that Killian Jones doesn’t know if he wants or even deserves. But with his 10 year high school reunion, he will have to finally come face to face with the center of all his questions and perhaps get the answers he needs.
A/N: This fic would be near as good if it weren’t for my wonderful beta @writemyanchor , nor would it exist without the Captain Swan Little Bang. Beautiful artwork by @shippingtheswann

Killian stared at himself in the mirror attempting to work his tie into a presentable knot, which was proving difficult with one hand. He sighed and tossed it onto his dresser, feeling frustrated. Yet another reason to skip out on his 10-year high school reunion. Others being that he needed to catch up on some shows that were piling up on his DVR and the mountain of essays that needed grading sitting on his kitchen counter.
His phone ringing shook him out of his thoughts and he fished his phone out of his back pocket without bothering to look at his caller ID.
“Hello, David,” he replied, rolling his eyes.
“You’re coming tonight,” was all David had to say in response.
“I don’t know…” Killian started, but David cut him off.
“Come on man, don’t you want to see everyone?”
“David, everyone still lives here; I see everyone from school all the time.”
“Not everyone.”
“You know she won’t be there,” Killian sighed, thinking about reason number one (and really the only reason) he didn’t want to go to this reunion.
“You don’t know that. She could surprise us all,” David said.
“We haven’t heard from her since she ran away.”
“So? Doesn’t mean she still can’t come tonight.”
“That is highly unlikely.”
“Stranger things have happened. Look just come to the thing, please? Mary Margaret busted her butt working on this and she’d love for you to come. Just stay for one drink.”
Killian ran his hand through his hair, knowing that he really wasn’t going to be able to get out of going tonight. “All right, just one drink though.”
“Great! We’ll see you at Granny’s!” David hung up before Killian could say anything else. He sat down on his bed, head in his hand. He could feel a migraine beginning to brew behind his eyes, but he had said he’d go for at least one drink and if Killian Jones was anything, he was a man of his word.
He got up, taking one last look in the mirror and deciding against the tie tonight. He was most likely going to be there for only a half hour, an hour tops, with people he saw nearly every day. No need to impress anyone.
They got to work arranging the piles, Emma following along as Killian explained how the boxes were to be assembled… It was a rough start for Emma. None of the frames fit together in any way that made any sense, and how Killian had managed to hide the nails from sight for every box was baffling.
Summary: There are a few things that Emma Swan is absolutely certain about; no morning is tolerable without at least one cup of coffee, all marriage is a sham… and if a stupidly handsome guy walks into her tiny flower shop with a massive order for flower arrangements six weeks before a wedding, he’s damn well going to have to help her. Flowershop!AU
I was thrilled to work with @best-left-hook-jones for the @captainswanbigbang Little Bang. She is one of the nicest, most supportive people out there in this crazy fandom and it has been a treat chatting over the last few months. She is also an amazing beta reader who has a much better grasp on the use of commas than I do!
Baskets and Bouquets is a fab story – you should all read it, and like it, and reblog it.
“Just like that, She was everything. He didn’t know how else to express it. One moment he was just going through the motions as required and the next he felt. There was an awareness of her, that she was something beautiful, perfect, and rare. And she was looking at him the same way he was at her.”
