Killian woke up first Sunday morning, far earlier than he
expected. Emma looked peaceful, no sign of the emotional turmoil of the last
few hours. He couldn’t describe his anger at the prejudice his precious Swan
faced. He and Liam got a few odd looks, the occasional nasty comment, but most
people saved their ire for Emma. Merlin knew why. She was beautiful,
intelligent, ambitious, loving and, above all, kind. She held her head up through almost everything, almost never
allowing those horrible people see how much their barbs hurt.
This is the only time Emma’s recognize verbally that she considers her pirate to be phisically attractive. But the circunstances make her words very beautiful: he was beaten, tortured, covered in blood and dirt, but she is looking at Killian as he is the most beautiful creature ever; because she is back with her and safe.
While he’s used to women finding this particular trick alluring, he finds himself quite surprised at what she ends up saying instead.
“You’re one of us.”
“Sorry, love, one of who?”
“Us!” she says happily, her hands clapping gently together, “I’ve never met a non-Techie before.”
@hencethebravery ‘s fic CS 0155 Data Witchcraftcreates a fascinating world of shrouded magic. It’s perfectly accented by little details in usernames and text messages. There was so much to explore I wish I’d had more time to work with this amazing story.
First of all, I want to apologize to @izzymar for that late late gift, not that I didn’t want to finish it, but for both of the drawings, they ended up in stand by because school stuff, and then each time I went back to them, I changed a lot of stuff, and lots of redraw happened. And then I was pretty pissed at myself for not finishing it because I wanted a nice thing. But here is is at last. And now I can jump into the sun to end with my shame.

The greatest of which is a new face in town. A young woman by the name of Emma. Emma. What a lovely name…
If you would like to catch up, chapter 15 can be foundhere.
Killian’s reflexes were quick. He grasped her wrist and plucked her phone from her hand, saving it from certain destruction. “I know you’re angry Swan, but there are better ways to channel your frustrations about the twins than letting rage overcome you.”
“Really? Like what?” she snapped. “You know what, nevermind. I don’t expect you to get it.”
“Of course I get it,” he snapped back. “You don’t want to abandon those kids the way you were abandoned.”
CSSS Christmas to Countdown: Dec 24 – We Need a Little Christmas
Note: This ficlet is a part of my Christmas Countdown gift to @shipsxahoy, who is my giftee for Captain Swan Secret Santa. This one is inspired by one of her favorite Christmas songs – We Need a Little Christmas by Angela Lansbury. I kinda cheated with this because it’s more Captain Cobra than Captain Swan, but I hope she enjoys it all the same. Summary: Henry Mills enlists the dreaded Captain Hook into buying presents for his birth mother. Rating: T Word Count: 1,300+
Upon coming to No Land Without Magic, Killian Jones had learned to throw out his expectations and to accept the chaos and absurdity that came with the realm. He didn’t understand a lot of what happened in this not-so-sleepy town called Storybrooke, but he would like to say he was learning quickly enough that the mundane things no longer caught him off guard. Despite this, he was entirely unprepared to find Emma Swan’s son sitting in his habitual booth when he arrived at Granny’s Diner one Friday morning for his breakfast.
“Something I can help you with, lad?”
“Yeah,” Henry responded with a precocious grin. “I need you to help me make my mom happy.”
Killian’s eyebrows rose at the statement. He sat down in the seat across from Henry, more than a little curious to know what the young boy meant by that statement.
“And how do you suppose to do that?” he asked cautiously, motioning for a waitress to bring him a fresh cup of coffee. What he really wanted was a glass of rum but somehow he got the feeling that Swan would not appreciate him drinking so early in front of Henry, not matter how much he was craving it.
Y’all, this is my very first attempt at artwork. I’ve always loved seeing all the image sets created for CSBB and CSLB and since I’ve had a baby and can’t give all my attention to writing, I thought artwork would be something I could do. I am soooo thankful that I got paired with @imhookedonaswan for this Little Bang! Her story is absolutely amazing and I had such a hard time coming up with just what amazing scene I was going to use in the set. I’m not gonna lie, I was tempted to make a dozen image sets for this story, because that is how truly great it is!
PS sorry it took so long to post under my correct blog – crying newborns tend to cloud your mind. 🙂
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.
