Le Cirque Noir by @the-captains-ayebrows

For the 2018 CS Little Bang! Word count ~13,400; Tumblr, AO3

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”.

Artwork | “All Things Considered” by @the-girl-in-the-band-tshirt

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 gifset created by @sailingcaptainswan Megan 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.

CS Canon Divergence – Neverland

For @useyourhook

Merry Christmas Courtney! You mentioned you liked Neverland hidden feelings and that got me thinking about what would have happened if we got a chance to see Killian reacting to Emma almost drowning during the storm. I hope you like it!!!!

He wished he could silence the demons that were haunting him, but not even the strongest rum was doing the trick this night. He closed his eyes, the image of Emma sinking into the sea coming to him again. Killian fisted his hand and was tempted to punch the wall of his cabin, but he knew it was futile to fight the feelings that were invading him.

He sensed more than heard the soft steps outside his cabin, the creak of the wooden planks as familiar as his own heartbeat. Without even thinking, he opened the door, his eyes finding her standing in front of him. She was wearing one of his old white linen shirts, the ones he’d stashed on the cabin crew the day he’d left his lieutenant days behind. She looked like a vision and he took it as such until the sight of her still wet blonde hair reminded him of how close he’d been to lose her. To lose yet another one he’d come to care about.

Without thinking, he pulled her into the cabin and closed the door. He pressed her against the wall, his forehead resting against hers, his lips murmuring against her skin.

“Don’t you ever do that again…”

“Hook, it was the only way.”

He closed his eyes. “I could have lost you… I can’t – I can’t bear it.”

The soft caress of her fingers on his cheek undid him and it was all it took for his lips to find hers in a searing kiss, for his hand to reach and undo the buttons of the shirt she was wearing, for him to lose himself in the soft curves of her body. For him to feel Emma Swan’s pulse thrumming as he brought her to the brink of pleasure, for him to feel her alive and writhing under him.

For Killian Jones’ heart to feel alive again, after so many centuries being dormant.
