I think next thursday is gonna be the best day of my entire life tbh

[littlebitofmayhem]

A Short List of Shenanigans My Parent’s Dog Has Engaged In:

This is Arwen, she’s a Husky/Kelpie mix and a little Asshole:

“I wonder if she can jump?” my dad asks the first five minutes we have her.  She perks up at the word, and clears a six-foot fence form sitting on the ground. “Oh.”  Says dad. “Shit.” Later that night she got up on the counter and ate three pounds of corned beef in roughtly 68 seconds but this was considered part of the learning curve of having a new dog.

I wake up at 4 AM to the sound of the toilet being flushed repeatedly in the hall bathroom, and assume plumbing is now posessed by angry and wasteful ghosts.   I get up to disconnet it and find her in the Bathroom, standing to flush the bowl, then shoving her head in to drink the running water.   I’m not totally awake, so I stand there like an idiot trying to understand this, and my sister gets up to see what the noise is, sees the same thing and also stands there.  Fiance notices my absence and does the same.   Mom eventually wakes up and finds us standing around like very confused zombies and almost joins the parade of baffled zombies before shreiking “THE WATER BILL!” We got her a circulating water bowl after that.

My parent’s don’t have AC, but they haveone of those “fridge on top, pull-out-freezer below” fridges.  Last summer, we were remarking that we might need to shave her so she didn’t get heatstroke, to which she looked up and made a disgusted noise at us. …Then got up, used the dishrag to pull open the freezer and climbed on top of the frozen vegetables, stretching out and sighing contentedly.  “Arwen,” Mom began, but was interrupted by a loud ‘WHAAAaaaaarrr?” from Arwen.  “Ok you can stay there for now but we’re getting you a kiddie pool so you have to get out when we get back.  Don’t eat anything.” She ate a bag of frozen green beans and farted for three days straight.

Took her walking along the lake with the long lead so she could sniff things to her hearts content.  She went about shoving her head in the undergrowth, usually coming up with her head covered in leaves and pollen. Except for the bush where she came back out with a 7-foot Bull Snake wrapping itself around her ehad and neck, trying it’s best to strangle her before she can eat it.   She immediately ran back to me, the parts of her face not occupied with the snake arranged in a gleeful expression of “Look!  I found Snacks!” I screamed, not immediately regognizing that it wasn’t a rattler, and fell, splitting my knee on a rock.  The screaming made her let go of the snake, but I still had to grab her and wrestle the snake off her because it lacked the sense to just scuttle away.  I finaly got it lose from her (Despite her best effort to continue trying to eat it and turned around to fling it off the trail-  -And directly into the face of one of my 90-year-old neighbors who’d come out to see what the screaming and profanity was, making her collapse. I’m pretty sure being told “I accidentally threw a snake at my neighbor.” was the highlight of that EMT’s day.  Dottie was unharmed but she still doesn’t speak to me.

One day, we left her in a Harness and overhead tether in the (at the time) unfanced back yard so she could enjoy some relatively free-range outdoors time.  I walked by the window not a minute later to find her completely GONE, and race out to the yard to find her.  It took me a good heart-pounding five minutes to realize the overhead tether was goign UP into the ancient silver maple and realized that  1. Arwen can apparently do something really weird with her shoulders where they pop out sideways, allowing her to bear-hug the tree and  2. climb a good 40 feet into the three to fight 3. A porcupine, which i didn’t even know LIVED out here. Fortunately, Porcupines weigh considerably less than Awen and she couldn’t get a good enough foothold to get all the way up to it, but I still had to climb up there and lower her down, barking dog profanities at the porcupine the whole way.

My parents recently acquired a mechanized recliner which has been instumental inmom’s hip surgery recovery.  Execpt that Awen Also likes lounging on the furniture, and is more than capable of hitting a large, elder-friendly button with her paw.  So now when she gets back from a walk or the dog park she makes a beeline for the living room, get in the recliner and pushes the button until it’s flat and stretches out in it.  My parents didn’t have a problem with this because she gets out of the chair when they ask her (Mom even tells her “Go get my chair ready” in winter because she does a good job pre-warming it), until last winter when Arwen taught my dog Charlie, another devoted couch animal how to do this. One afternoon there was a tremendous outburst fo barkign and snarling from the living room and we rished in to find both dogs in the recliner, Charlie on the fully-reclined back and Arwen on the elevated seat and foot rest, bellowing at eachother for control of the recliner, thier movments having pitched it back to it’s two hind feet, the device swaying to and fro like a leather covered boat upon the high seas, a furry mutiny on board.  Neither dog was willing to yeild the plush throne, nor to listen to the humans yelling at them to knock it the hell off, until Arwen tackled the usurper, kocking him off and managing to cantaleiver the recliner clean over, flipping it into the hall, both dogs and all humand miraculously unharmed. She still doesn’t let him sit in it.

I love her so much.

(If you got a laugh out of this, please consider donating to my Tip Jar or Paypal to get Arwen (and Charlie!) nice treats)

CaptainSwan Actors AU Recs

Ouat may be over but the stories about our favorite couple are here to keep us company. So here is some wonderful fics  featuring Emma or Killian as actors. I love reading cs as actors I hope you do as well. Hope you enjoy! 🎥 🎬 🎞️

If you are intrested you can find my other lists here.

Multichapter

Complete

The Lost Boys, @niniadepapa

AU: He’s the charming, out of control frontman of one of the most successful bands in the world. She’s a hard-working rising actress. Sometimes it’s hard to find out what’s real and what’s make-believe when fame’s in the game.

No Way In Hell, @effulgentcolors

Heartthrob Killian Jones and Hollywood’s ice queen Emma Swan are chasing their dreams, hating each other since before their first meeting and thinking they will just have to tolerate the other while the shooting of their latest movie lasts. But there’s some fine print on their contracts and it seems that they don’t know quite what they have signed up for, both on and off set. 

Nuuk, @wellhellotragic

When a chance encounter with a blue-eyed mystery man on an ill-fated flight turns Emma Nolan’s life upside down, she has a choice to make: Continue with her arranged marriage to Senator Gold’s son to save her parent’s company, or turn her back on everything she’s ever worked towards for a chance at happiness.

Love In Éire, @blackwidownat2814

Emma goes to Ireland to help her foster brother August on a movie set. She meets the dashing lead actor, Killian Jones, and her life will never be the same. Can she get rid of those walls and let someone in? 

The Trouble with Faking It, @nowforruin

Killian Jones is one drunken mistake from never setting foot on a movie set again. Enter Emma Swan, the woman his manager has paid to pretend to date him and clean up his image. It seems straightforward enough…but there’s always trouble with faking it.

Read All About It,  Rule The World,  Reputation (wip),  @kymbersmith-90

Using Twitter to ask an actual princess on a date may not have been Killian’s best idea… until it was.

Kings and Queens, Princes and Princesses(wip), So Much Tea

Emma Swan is struggling as an actress. All seems lost until she manages to swing a spot on Kings and Queens, the most popular Medieval TV Show of all time. But here’s the catch: Emma hates being in love, and acting it is proving more tricky than she first thought. Her whole world is about to change, especially working alongside her new and mysterious co-star Killian Jones.

The One Who Got Away, @hooklineandswan

They’ve only spent one week together. Ten years ago. But when they meet again, nothing has changed. Will their pasts and their fame allow them to have a future together? Rock star / Actress A.

Wip

Fairytales, @kymbersmith-90

What happens when you get that chance to finally meet the guy of your dreams?

Out Of Darkness, Cometh Light, @therollyjodger

Killian Jones is an actor. A hot actor. A hot, famous actor. A hot, famous, drunken actor. His reputation is in ruins and they’re running out of options to turn the public’s view on him around. Enter Emma Swan. The actress who’s agreed to date him to help correct his image. But what happens when two people meet and realise that they’re just as broken as the other.

Liner Notes, @alexandralyman

CS rockstar/actress AU. Killian Jones, lead singer of the band Crimson Flag, has been burned in the past by love and turned his heartbreak into a hit album, Hook. But with his new single, I Still Do, he’s ready to proclaim to the world that he still believes in love. All he needs is an actress to appear in the song’s music video and he has just the one in mind - TV star Emma Swan.

A Lifetime Of Almosts Made Up In An Instant Of Always,  @gingerchangeling

Emma Swan, Bailbondperson and mother extraordinaire gets hired to act as body guard after she is approached by an agent. The only problems? She is supposed to accompany her charge out of the country, her charge is an actor, and that actor is Killian Jones, a man she has loathed since she met him.

I See The Light (Now That I See You), @bisexual-killian-jones

Emma was twenty-six when she could finally see colors, after she had lost faith in it ever happening to her. She just wasn’t quite expecting it to be him. AU where you only see black and white until you meet your soulmate.

One-shots

It’s a Pleasure, as Always, @cutieodonoghue

Interviewer Killian Jones falls in love with movie star Emma Swan.

Where words fail (music speaks), @captainswanandclintasha

Emma Nolan wrote a new song and she has to do a music video for it. Her biggest problem is that she needs a man to appear with her in the video and she can’t find the right one.

First Impressions, @a-fictional-life

Co-Star AU. Emma Swan is the star of the hottest show on TV, The Analyser. She’s professional, polished, poised… But there is something about that damn Killian Jones that gets right under her skin.

acting with consequences, @trueloveseyeroll

Emma and Killian work together as actors in a troupe. Emma doesn’t trust him though - he’s new, and he won’t say why he left his last troupe. With August’s new play, not only does Emma have to act civil around Killian - she has to play madly in love with him. Of course.

Gorgeous, @seriouslyhooked

AU where Emma is famous  actress and Killian is one of  her bodyguards.

Untitled,@emmasinthebooknow

Captain Swan modern celebrity!AU: Emma is a famous actress, Killian is the (not famous) guy she just started dating. Because of Emma’s fame, the press is making things difficult, but Killian finds an unexpected way of reassuring Emma that he isn’t going anywhere.

where forever lies, @bisexual-killian-jones

Emma and Killian have been together for the past ten years. Suddenly, Emma wins the role of a lifetime on a new TV show, which sends her across the country. Can their relationship survive the distance?

Two-Shots

Love at Comic Con,  Love at Comic Con: The Sequel, @captainswanluver

Emma Swan and Killian Jones are the stars of the hit TV show “The Pirate and the Princess” and their incredible chemistry has helped make their fictional couple wildly popular. For the sake of the show, they’ve managed to bury their attraction and feelings for each other. But when they attend Comic Con together, those long suppressed feelings and attraction bubble to the surface.

Three-Shots

Let’s Just Be Us, @cutieodonoghue

Based upon a prompt about rockstar!Killian and movie star!Emma secretly dating, but those pesky fans figure it out.

[littlebitofmayhem]

Your lists are so wonderful. Thank you for making them! I was hoping for a list of fics where Emma and Killian go on a road trip. So many great tropes can happen! Some I've enjoyed already are Another New York City Serenade, Any Means Necessary, and Hitched.

Road trip AUs

Traveling the Open Roads of Us by @imhookedonaswan

and this one has a road trip in it

The Path of Lost Souls by @curiousthingdarkness

the ones you mentioned are of course excellent

[littlebitofmayhem]

gosh but like we spent hundreds of years looking up at the stars and wondering “is there anybody out there” and hoping and guessing and imagining

because we as a species were so lonely and we wanted friends so bad, we wanted to meet other species and we wanted to talk to them and we wanted to learn from them and to stop being the only people in the universe

and we started realizing that things were maybe not going so good for us– we got scared that we were going to blow each other up, we got scared that we were going to break our planet permanently, we got scared that in a hundred years we were all going to be dead and gone and even if there were other people out there, we’d never get to meet them

and then

we built robots?

and we gave them names and we gave them brains made out of silicon and we pretended they were people and we told them hey you wanna go exploring, and of course they did, because we had made them in our own image

and maybe in a hundred years we won’t be around any more, maybe yeah the planet will be a mess and we’ll all be dead, and if other people come from the stars we won’t be around to meet them and say hi! how are you! we’re people, too! you’re not alone any more!, maybe we’ll be gone

but we built robots, who have beat-up hulls and metal brains, and who have names; and if the other people come and say, who were these people? what were they like?

the robots can say, when they made us, they called us discovery; they called us curiosity; they called us explorer; they called us spirit. they must have thought that was important.

and they told us to tell you hello.

[littlebitofmayhem]

I'm not sure a good umbrella term for this trope and if you have any or not but do you know any good fics with the "my older brother's best friend/ my best friend's little sister" trope? Thanks doll, I appreciate it!!!

there are quite a few, so i’m giving you the msut version of the answer, i’m sure you’ll appreciate

older brother’s best friend/ my best friend’s little sister

smut

Cause I’m Broken (When I’m Open) by @bisexual-killian-jones

Emma hated her brother’s new best friend, Killian Jones. But who said that she had to hate fucking him? (Title from ‘Broken’ by Seether)

Miles to Go Before I Sleep by @this-too-too-sullied-flesh

The last thing Emma wants is a set-up from her aggravating co-worker, but sometimes these things are out of our hands. And sometimes, deviant boys cut down trees, and we have to stake out the forest in the dead of night.

We Got Us by @lifeinahole27

How they got together is mostly a run-of-the-mill story. Boy meets girl. Girl meets boy. A strange and complicated courtship followed. All that really matters to either of them is that they’re happy. They’re in love. They’re miles away from anyone who cares if they are in a relationship or not. And that only matters because no one that knows either of them would ever expect them to be in a relationship in the first place. Perhaps it would be easier if their brothers weren’t best friends. It’s the easiest separation between family and relationship that either of them has ever had.

Which means that it can’t last, of course.

CaptainSwan One-Two Shots Recs p.10

Hello CaptainSwan Fandom! I made a new list which contains some old, some new but all are amazing One & Two shots fics. Hope you enjoy!

If you are intrested you can find my other lists here.

One-shots

Tuesday, @swanandapirate

Every Tuesday, she’s there, working late with her son and every Tuesday so is he. He offers to keep Henry busy so she can finish her tasks, but neither of them would have expected that Henry would grow to think ‘Mr.Killian’ is his dad.

The Only One Who Didn’t Know, @tnlph​

Emma and Killian squelch their office rivalry in favor of a “co-workers with benefits” relationship. It goes well, until one of them realizes it’s more. (A very, very, very off interpretation of the secret dating trope.)

Secret Santa, @xemmaloveskillianx

Maybe the holidays aren’t so bad.

Prompt, @sotheylived

Killian and Emma are both thieves that work together but they have a maybe bank robbery gone bad in which one of them gets hurt with a happy ending?

Walking the Walk,  shireness

Emma Swan is willing to do anything to get money to fund her self-defense classes. Well, anything but this.

Two Booksellers of Storybrooke, @spartanguard

Emma Swan has two problems: 1. Killian Jones, the annoying co-owner of the bookstore across the street from her own (just how many book shops did one small town need?); and 2. The fact that she may or may not be falling in love with the same Killian Jones. The course of true love never did run smooth, did it?

The Five Times Emma Said It Was Over and the One Time She Decided That Maybe It Wasn’t , @oncertwice

A CS modern AU in which Emma can’t seem to stay away from Killian, her ex.

swordfight, @alexandralyman

little CS/CC ficlet for Captain Charming Friday. 

You Jump, I Jump, Jack, @belovedcreation  

Why does Emma Swan frequent Killian’s diner? Three reasons: the coffee is outstanding, her son Henry insists it is the best breakfast spot, and Killian Jones has a really nice ass. (Gilmore Girls-inspired AU)

The True Story of CaptainKJ and EBostonLover, @darkoneliesdarkonetricks

Celebrity on a dating site AU - Killian, lead singer of famous band Captain Charming, accidentally ends up on a dating site where he matches with Emma. Texting and falling in love and confusion ensues.

For The Very First Time, @hooklineandswan

It seemed to be a splendid idea … to have her first time with her best friend. But when the first time turned out to be so much more than she expected she did the only thing she could do … she ran.

Two-shots

The Legend of Captain Killian Jones, @hollyethecurious

Cursed three hundred years ago to take on ghost form and haunt his family estate, Killian Jones receives a reprieve once every hundred years to take on corporeal form in order to try and break his curse.

A renowned restorationist, Emma Swan takes on the project of bringing the three hundred year old Jones Manor back to its former glory. A manor that is reportedly haunted by the notorious Captain Killian Jones. Good thing Emma doesn’t believe in ghosts.

Contact Light-p.2, @welllpthisishappening 

Emma Swan has never been one for big, overwhelming…anything. And as far as she’s concerned space is both big and overwhelming and just a bit terrifying because she’s fairly certain her connection to gravity is slightly tenuous when he glances in her direction. But that’s neither here nor there because she watches all his stupid space documentaries anyway and keeps letting him glance in her direction and, at some point, she learns the first words uttered by a human being on the moon. Contact light. It’s not common knowledge. That seems, almost, oddly appropriate now.

Operation Pirate Law - p.2, @hollyethecurious

All of Liam’s efforts to get his older brother together with the town Deputy are not having the desired effect. Maybe he needs to change tactics and find himself an accomplice? Fortunately, the Deputy’s son has the same idea, and together they put into action.

last call-p.2, @luscipher

Best friends (of sorts) turned lovers (of sorts) AU, just a short little two-shot filled with fluff, banter, and— dare I say it— a smidgen of crack.

but an orphan’s an orphan,  emmaofmisthaven

Emma is seventeen when Ingrid gets Killian’s file, and she can see her adoptive mother is wary about this particular case. They haven’t fostered boys her age since Felix, and Emma isn’t very good at pretending she doesn’t know why. She does understand the logic behind that choice but – she’s not stupid, she knows better than to get attached to anyone staying in this house. Hell, she knows better than to get attached, period, because nothing about her life told her that, if she was given something, she could keep it. She’s still getting used to her bedroom being her bedroom, and she’s been living with Ingrid for years.

“What?” she tells Ingrid, when she’s reading the file. “You’re afraid I’m going to seduce him with my college applications and Harry Potter trivia?

I’ll Never Get Over You (Getting Over Me), @amagicalship

 Of all the bars in the world, why did Emma have to walk into the same one that her ex-boyfriend Killian happens to be in? And what will happen when the green-eyed monster shows up too? 

Late Night Cooking Adventures with Emma Swan,  baseballandcupcakes

Emma Swan is pretty sure that 90% of the people she has met during her first week of college wouldn’t last a minute if the cafeteria wasn’t there to feed the drunk, hungover masses. But cafeterias (and drunks) have never sat well with her, which is why she’s cooking in the communal kitchen in her dorm at 11PM on a Friday night when she meets Killian Jones in the most unexpected of ways.

Accidents Happen, @singingisfun

Based on this prompt: I need a fic where Emma and Killian had an ‘oops’ baby, and years later, the same thing happened again.

feel a little rush (I think I’ve got a crush), @piratesails

He can appreciate the advancement that the internet has brought, a completely new language that it’s created with acronyms and shorter words per sentences that deliver precisely the same meanings. Wherein I’m going to die ilysm and omg wtf this man and CRYING are all appropriately positive expressions, and apparently only the beginning of the comments under his photo.

AU where high school lit teacher Killian Jones ends up on the hotdudesreading Instagram and is very confused by it all.

[littlebitofmayhem]

Hi Liza, what are your top 3 cs fics? I know this may be a hard choice but what fics stand out for you that you would happily read over again and again?

This is a super hard choice.  The truth is I haven’t read as much fic as I want to, which is actually okay since my interest in Captain Swan is not waning and I have so many stories backlogged that I need to read. It will keep me in fic for a very long time. 

A few favorites that spring to mind are:

Beyond the Horizon by @alexandralyman (A master work, full stop)

Warm Nights & Firelight by Oubiette14 (I also loved her Merry not Christmas, that was what led me to take the plunge with the mammoth Warm Nights) 

Walking in a Straight Line by @msgenevieve447 (Love all of her stuff, especially Freaky Friday)

The Trouble with Faking It by @nowforruin (So satisfying)

A Somewhat Terrible Idea by @blessed-but-distressed (This is due for a reread)

Something Like You Love Me by @kittennharington (This is so much fun and skillfully told)

[littlebitofmayhem]

My CS FF Recs 1

I say this is a Captain Swan FF Rec list but I also have Captain Charming, Daddy!Charming, and just Charming Family fics.  I love my Charming Family almost as much as CS

Must Reads!!

Put Me In Coach, I’m Ready To Play Summary: PR Director Emma Swan moves to Pittsburgh intent on restarting her life. But playboy shortstop Killian Jones is making her job a hell of a lot harder with his antics. CS AU. My Notes: This was one of the very first ff I read for CS and I looooved this so much! Have read it multiple times. I mean Killian & Charming in baseball pants is just a visual I can go with. Yum!!  The story is now going through a rewrite so all of the chapters are no longer up (sad face).

Between Heaven and Hell Summary: They hide in plain sight, the servants of heaven and hell. Angels and demons, who can help save your soul or damn it. They are the bringers of light and the agents of darkness, they stand on opposite sides and are the enemies in an eternal war. But what happens when an angel and a demon find themselves inexplicably drawn to each other? A Captain Swan angel/demon AU My Notes: This story!!! There are no words.  Just go read it now!!

(yeah just like me) she was a victim of the night Summary: Emma’s getting married in the morning to someone she’s never met — some prince from some rich, powerful kingdom on the other side of the continent — and so she needs to make tonight last. And the foreign pirate who’d shown up to rob her blind at her engagement ball will help her do just that. Captain Swan; wildly, shamelessly, gleefully AU. My Notes: I loooove this one.  Have read it multiple times!

I Belong To You, You Belong To Me Summary: Three weeks after dragging your boyfriend’s sorry ass out of the Underworld is not the ideal time to find out you’re pregnant.  It’s probably also not the ideal time for Zelena’s time portal to spit out some kid…a teenage boy with blonde hair and Killian’s eyes. My Notes: I love Killian Jr.  Ian is one of my favorite characters created in the CS ff verse.

Alone Until I get Home Summary: In Boston, Henry Swan’s six-year-old brother Ian finds a book titled “Once Upon a Time” hidden beneath the seat in their mom’s old yellow bug. As soon as Henry touches it, he remembers. My Notes: I love little Ian.  Different ff but with Killian Jr. again.

This Ship Will Carry Us Summary: A series of unrelated AU oneshots, centering mainly around Lieutenant Jones and Princess Emma. My Notes: I love Lieutenant Jones and Princess Emma fics.  These are all so good!

Just Because It Burns Summary: Over the 4 months it took to save Henry, Emma and Killian had 4 times in Neverland and once in Storybrooke, each accompanied by a different feeling. Desperation. Anger. Jealousy. Passion. And finally - Love. My Notes: So good.  So HOT!

Winter Summary: Emma and Killian are together. And then they’re not. And then they’re snowed in. My Notes: Angsty CS never hurt nobody … as long as it all turns out well.

Other Fics

One Jump Ahead Summary: They say that he’s the king of the street rats, that when you fall in with him, you’ll never go hungry again, that he has a harem of women from all over the world who will trek for miles and miles to share his bed. Emma doesn’t really know about that harem thing, but the “never go hungry again” bit is enough to catch her interest after (at least most of) a life on the street. My Notes: Killian as Aladdin?!?! Yes please!! Very well done too

The Legend of Captain Killian Jones

Summary: Cursed three hundred years ago to take on ghost form and haunt his family estate, Killian Jones receives a reprieve once every hundred years to take on corporeal form in order to try and break his curse.A renowned restorationist, Emma Swan takes on the project of bringing the three hundred year old Jones Manor back to its former glory. A manor that is reportedly haunted by the notorious Captain Killian Jones. Good thing Emma doesn’t believe in ghosts.

I’m Like A Puzzle Summary: Emma Swan finds her home and her family, both on and off the ice. Hockey AU with an integrated NHL.

Sinks and Floats Summary: AU; it’s James, not Pinocchio or Snow, who travels with Emma to our world.

Burning in the Fire of a Thousand Smiles Summary: Modern British Royalty AU. HRH The Princess of Wales, Emma Windsor, rather literally runs into her bodyguard’s little brother, shy librarian Killian Jones, at a benefit gala, and sparks unexpectedly fly. But can they make a relationship work in the glare of the spotlight, and with Captain Liam Jones’ own dark past? Complete, posted here by request of tumblr!

And Supergirs Don’t Cry Summary: “If you want Tamara dead, give the gun to me.”

Her Silent Throat Summary: He starts forgetting things. Just small, inconsequential things at first - where he left his keys, what he needed to pick up from the store, how many sugars she takes in her coffee - Emma doesn’t really take much notice of it. They’re getting old, and she can’t honestly count the number of times she’s had something similar happen.

Don’t Touch Summary: His little educational speeches had somehow left out the freakin’ SEX FLOWERS. Stong M Rating

Discovery Summary: Multiple stories AU in which the curse never happened. Captain Duckling

David’s ‘my best friends is my daughter’s boyfriend’ Problems Summary: “It’s just a bit of a juggling act,” continued the prince, a hesitant grin

Sticking Together…For Survival

Summary: First, go see Chris Pratt in his most bangable role to date. Second, read this Captain Swan AU, inspired by Jurassic World and containing spoilers, but, as always, not a direct copy of the film.

The Other Prince

Summary: Modern Royalty AU: HRH Prince Killian has grown up in the shadow of the crown while enduring tragedy and the burdens of being the spare to the heir. With a desire to escape his past, he agrees to play host to the visiting general’s daughter in exchange for an eventual life outside royal bounds. Moving on is never that easy though and he quickly learns that being the ‘other’ prince is even more difficult when you find yourself falling for the girl everyone wants your brother to marry.

A Knight For A Swan

Summary: The campaign had lasted only mere weeks before King George had been dispatched and King Arthur had victoriously claimed the throne. Divided loyalties among the Lords and Knights of King George and Sir David had left the kingdom too weak and disorganized to put up much of a defense. Now all the lands were vulnerable. It was only a matter of time before an army loyal to the new Sovereign would come to capture, not only Sir David, but all his lands, his holdings, and even his only daughter as well. All in the name of the new King.

It Was Real (It’s Real)

Summary: The first thing they tell Emma Swan when she takes the job at the State Penitentiary’s infirmary, is to never fall in love with an inmate. It’s not that hard of a rule to adhere to, or so she thinks, until Killian Jones breezes into her life like the perfect storm – covered in tattoos, dashing to no end, brilliant of mind, incessantly mysterious – and promptly turns her world on end. (Prison Break AU)

If The Stars Align

Summary: Danger lurks around every corner in the French court and as a Musketeer in service of the royal family, Killian’s duty is to protect them from any and all threats. As his relationship with Queen Emma develops into something more than just friendship, threats against the queen escalate and place everything they both hold dear into jeopardy.

Falling Slowly

Summary: When Henry is kidnapped by the Evil Queen, Emma rushes to save him. Along the way, she receives the help of a ship’s captain with a shared past, though she has no idea just how deep that shared past really goes.

Little Pirates

Summary: Multiple stories surrounding Next Gen. Mostly surrounding the CS kids, Harrison, Westley, Beth and Ned.  With some Henry, Neal, Gideon, and Robin thrown in as well.

hii sophie, i've been wanting to start reading new fics and i'm wondering if you know any good Captain Duckling ones ? thank you so much in advance and keep up the great work ♥

Allô ma chérie! (i googled that to be sure. god my french is rusty). i’m assuming Captain Duckling refers to pirate!killian and princess!emma. to be honest, i’m more of a modern au reader, so i’ll rec you some fics that i want to read in the future cause they seem interesting

Here it goes

Destiny Has Its Eyes On You by @seriouslyhooked (great WIP), 

mystery of water and a star. by @nephilimchloe (one shot), 

Your Heart Is Too Strong, Anyway by @alchemistc (part of a series of one shots, i trust her completely to not even read the summary and know it’s awesome)

True Love Will Always Find A Way by @marajade4s  (Ladyhawke AU)

My body is my cage by @mmusicofmysoul (swanlake au)

Seized by @ardentcsshipper (Princess Emma is on a diplomatic mission to a neighbouring kingdom when her ship is attacked by the notorious Captain Hook. Who will prevail? And how will she ever get home? )

Stand by You by @elizabethswanjones (I’m falling in love with you which is really inconvenient because I was sent to assassinate you; perfect, hoping for more)

also Beyond the Horizon by @alexandralyman in case you’re one of the two people in the entire fandom who haven’t read it. yet. (the other one being me. ironic. i know) and Strangeness & Charm by @bluestoplights. i’m not sure if it’s captain duckling or wrench, but categories aside you should read it

and while we’re here, read modern cursed LD [you don’t know me, you don’t wear my chains] by @qqueenofhades, a three-shot so well written while merging two universes together, it will pull your chest open, squeeze your heart and place it back with feathers.

True Love Will Always Find A Way

@hookedemma Hi, Janine! I’ve been your Secret Santa this year and it was great getting to know you! You’ve asked for an Enchanted Forest AU, featuring our favourite princess and pirate, and I hope I deliver on that :) Here is part 1 - this story has inspired me so much, I couldn’t get it done in just one part. 

Merry Christmas!

True Love Will Always Find A Way

Ladyhawke AU / Princess!Emma & Pirate!Killian Jones

  Emma is one of the most beautiful princesses in the Enchanted Forest, and Killian Jones is one of the most cutthroat pirates to sail the seven seas. When Emma refuses to give Baelfire any hopes he might win her heart, a set of events is set in motion, one that will forever entwine the fates of the princess and of the pirate.

 Part 1

Rumplestilskin has never, in all his years as the Dark One, cast such a horrible curse. But this is no ordinary trespassing, so it warrants drastic measures. A slight to his son is a slight to him, and he will never forgive anyone stupid enough to do that. No one dismisses his son, especially a young, foolish princess, and expects to live happily ever after.

Princess Emma of Misthaven may be one of the most beautiful royals this corner of the Enchanted Forest, but that is of little consequence now. Born out of True Love, she has captured the heart of many a prince since she’d made her social debut, but no one has managed to win her heart yet. And now Baelfire has become infatuated with her.

The Dark One snarls. She should not have dismissed Baelfire’s affections like that. As the most powerful wizard’s son, he is quite the catch and the little royal should have jumped at the chance to have all the power and wealth that is associated with his son. Instead, she had chosen love.

Keep reading

CaptainSwan WIP  Recs p.4

Hello everyone, two lists in 2 days? Yeah that’s right. I found some wonderful works in progress that you may want to take a look at, they are definitely worth your time. Hope you enjoy!

You can find my other lists here.

Model Behavior,  @shippingtheswann

Emma is an up and coming model living in LA with her best friend Ruby. Killian is a star baseball player for the LA Dodgers. Their families are close - and they grew up together. However, what happens after not seeing each other for 6 years - when they are forced back into a situation that requires them to reconnect and explore what was once there.

Untie My Silhouette, @mycaptainswanjones

Emma Swan feels like she’s in a rut and decides she needs some changes in her life. A New Year’s resolution list might do the trick. Killian Jones thinks Emma’s just as perfect as she is, so when he gets his hands on her list, it seems like a good idea to propose a bet to her. But the stakes aren’t low, they’ll use everything in order to win - and for the other to lose. (Modern AU)

Seven Encounters, @everlastingcaptainswan

It took seven times for Emma Nolan to realize she loved His Royal Highness Prince Killian, but it only took him two times to realize he would chase her to the ends of this earth.

You Can Hear It in the Silence, @bravebuttercups

People have come and gone throughout Emma’s entire life, from the parents who abandoned her on the side of the road to the high school sweetheart who walked out on her for not wanting to commit a crime. There’s only one person who’s stayed because he wants to - not because he has to - and she wouldn’t trade Killian for anything. Modern best friends AU.

Set Fire to the Rain, @limeslarkesandswans​

She’s the good girl, small town Princess. Perfect family, perfect boyfriend, so why is she sneaking under the bleachers searching for a blue eyed bad boy?

Guitars and Scarred Hearts, @stophookingatmeswan

One afternoon, Emma Swan receives an envelope containing a front-row ticket to the sold-out Killian Jones Mutiny Tour show in Boston, just like he promised all those years ago after high school. A Captain Swan Rock Star AU.

We’re Going Down Swinging,2,3,4  @alwaysaprilia

You’re a Marshmallow, Emma Swan, @jmosfreckles

A CS Veronica Mars AU.

Dark Hook Comes to Storybrooke, @hollyethecurious & @winterbaby89

Moments before the Evil Queen’s Dark Curse whisks our beloved fairytale characters to Storybrooke, Captain Hook finally gets his revenge on the Crocodile.
