The best praise an artist can receive is the long, impassioned sort that gets deep into exactly what the commenter liked about their work and leaves them feeling warm and giddy all over.
Emma Swan is Killian Jones’ guiding light even when she isn’t his happy ending. She’s the reason he chooses to believe and make himself into a better person, no matter if she’s what he’s fighting for specifically or not. She’s his moral compass, even when she isn’t his True Love. She’s integral to his redemption and it’s no wonder any version of Killian that doesn’t meet her can’t find it in himself to achieve something better. She’s his savior. She’ll always be his savior.
Young deckhand Killian Jones has spent most of
his life serving on a ship of a ruthless captain Silver. He had dreams of
becoming a lieutenant, and eventually
a captain of his own ship. However,
his dreams would have to wait, until his debt to Captain Silver was paid.
Luckily, he befriended some of the more
seasoned crew members, who wanted a better life for their young friend. The perfect occasion
arrived in a form of an open invitation to all bachelors of the kingdom to
attend a ball. Killian
was not thrilled about it, but the thought of being somewhere else, even for a
night seemed appealing enough.
With the help of his fairy godmother, Killian
was ready for the ball in no time. He danced the night away with none other than the princess Emma herself. However,
the night had to end sometime and for him it was with the clock striking midnight.
This meant the spell would be broken
and he would return to his raggedy old self. So, he ran as fast as he could,
not hearing the princess asking him to wait.
What he did not expect was for the kingdom to go on high alert, looking for a young man
who has captured the princess’ heart. He was not the only one who has felt the connection the night of the ball it seems, for he has made an impression on the princess too. Needless to say, they were reunited and were excited to experience the happily ever after together.
