I came up with this AU a while back - probably a few months after I stumbled into this fandom - and it's been bouncing around in my head for a while. (Excuse the scatterbrained nature of this post, I'm just writing my thoughts as they come)

Tim Drake meets Peter Pan (OUAT edition)

I mean, he's the perfect candidate for a lost boy. Neglected, lonely and will probably become scarily loyal to the first person who offers him a way out of that. Not to mention, he's smart, has loose morals (I mean, he did stalk and blackmail Batman) and can be a little ruthless at times, he'd be Peter's right hand man in no time.

So, he lives as a lost boy for a while, but finds Peter's ways of doing things too dark or cruel and, being the baby genius he is, escaped from Neverland, back to Gotham.

But also, we could combine this concept with the Tim joins the family early trope. Like, he goes to Neverland a couple of times, but also starts connecting with the Waynes, so that could be part of the reason he's able to let go of that loyalty to Peter, because he's got something better waiting for him. He never tells the Wayne's about his time in Neverland, worrying that they'll see him differently due to the morally grey things he did there as Peter's right hand man. Tim deals with quite a bit of imposter syndrome and insecurity, but ultimately, he's more happy than not.

Then, a few years later, Damian comes in and is all, well, Damian about things which makes things take a bad turn for Tim. The family is bad at balance/communication and Tim "Abandonment Issues" Drake is a very unreliable narrator at times, so it's angst galore. Then Peter turns up again.

Tim goes with him to Neverland, this time with the intention of staying forever.

Or, we could go another route and look into Damian, a kid whose whole life had been uprooted as he's sent to live with a father he's never met and with a family with vastly different dynamics to what he's used to. He's not neglected, but he's certainly lonely. Especially when being held up to expectations and moral standards that he finds impossible to comprehend after being raised by Talia and Ra's.

So Peter comes back, but he takes Damian instead, as a way to lure Tim back to Neverland. And, even if he doesn't like Damian much right now, of course Tim will go after him because that's his little brother and no way in hell is he letting Peter take him.

We could even sprinkle in a little backstory about Peter knowing Bruce from when Bruce was a kid, after his parents died. Now, two of Bruce's sons are missing and he has to find a way to Neverland.

That's where Jason comes in. Jason Todd, the ultimate lost boy who never was. Not for lack of trying. Peter's shadow swooped down to get him when he was living on the streets, but Jay isn't some naive kid, he's a Gothamite, a Crime Alley kid and he knows that if someone - even that someone is a creepy shadow person - grabs you and tries to get you to a secondary location, you fucking fight it with all you have. So, Jason never makes it to Neverland. Instead, he fights so hard that the shadow drops him, right onto Captain Hook - Killian Jones' - ship. They bond, Killian teaches Jason the ropes, but Jason ultimately decides to go back to Gotham for whatever reason (maybe Killian messes up or Jason's trust issues get the better of him) and he leaves.

We could also play around with parallels between Bruce and Peter. Both taking in lost, lonely kids that no one else wants, having them fight battles, Peter could even hit Bruce with that 'at least my boys will never die' as if forcing them to live forever in eternal stagnation is so much better.

While in Neverland together, Tim and Damian start to bond over their feelings of never truly belonging anywhere. That they'll be forever defined by what they did over who they are. As they grow closer, Tim reassures Damian that he will always belong with him, to give him the chance to prove it.

Meanwhile, Bruce, Dick and Jason are on their way to Neverland. And Peter is ready to start playing the game.

... And that's all I've got so far.

Dracula in Storybrooke part 5

For Captain Swan Supernatural Summer @cssns

Drake paced back and forth in the dark corridor. He made no sound as his feet touched the damp stones. His frustration and vampire speed making him look like a blur to the rats hiding in the walls.

He desired the Princess Swan. She was the embodiment of beauty and power. The fact that she was able to withstand his seduction only made her more desirable to him.

He thought of Emma, with her long golden hair. Running his hands through it would be like being able to touch the sun once again.

But at the moment, that filthy pirate was probably running his only hand through her hair.

Drake hissed at the thought that his bride was being contaminated by one so unworthy of her.

He needed to find a way to sever the bond between the two.

Renfield had told him it was impossible. But Renfield had chosen to change his name to Smee, so Drake didn’t think he was very intelligent or wise.

Dracula was certain that if the pirate captain was turned into a monster, the fair princess would realize she was better off with a dark prince.

Outside of Granny’s, in the warm sunlight, Killian did have one hand wrapped in Emma’s hair. His hook was pressed to the small of her back, keeping her close to him as their lips moved slowly together.

Emma let her fingertips dance along his jawline. She enjoyed the contrast of the rough stubble to the tender way he was kissing her.

She had noticed the yearning way he was looking at her and knew what he needed. But neither trust finding a dark corner for a quiet moment since the vampires had made an appearance.

So beside the overgrown hedge it was.

“I won’t survive losing you, Swan.” Killian whispered against her mouth. “Promise me that you will do everything in your power to protect yourself.”

“As long as you promise me the same thing.” She whispered back to him. “After everything we’ve been through, I don’t want to live without you, either.”

“You two are ridiculous.” Leroy’s frustrated tone broke through the couple’s intimate moment. “You’re only going to be separated for a few hours at most. We need to get back before sundown.”

Since logically the caves were the ideal place for those that needed to avoid sunlight, Emma, her parents, and Leroy would be searching the tunnels for any sign of Dracula and his vampires.

Killian, Dr. Whale, Belle, and Blue would be searching through all of the ancient tomes and scrolls they could find for a way to turn everyone human again, and defeat Dracula.

Killian had wanted to go with Emma, but since he was fluent in multiple languages, he knew it was best to help with the research. Blue also wanted him to assist in gathering chrystal she and the other fairies would create to store Emma’s white light and use them as another way to ward off the vampires.

“Besides, if the vampires do try to attack us, it would help having an expert fighter with us.” Whale had pointed out.”

Before his group headed out, David mentioned to Killian in passing, “If Whale got maimed, nobody would blame you.”

“I heard that, Charming.” Whale growled.

“Don’t care.” David shrugged as he joined his wife and daughter. The former sighed and shook her head and him. The latter grinned at his behavior.

The group made their way through the tunnels, Emma in the front with her hands aglow the entire time.

They were sure that the vampires Dracula had turned were hidden away, sleeping.

Smee had said that Dracula had the power and ability to not sleep for months or years, he also had the ability to put himself into a sleep for centuries. But other vampires needed to hide themselves and sleep when the sun was up.

But no one wanted to take any chances. The plan was to find the sleeping vampires, and then bind them using Emma’s magic, and ropes woven with silver, preventing them from causing any harm to the rest of the town.

Weapons were drawn. Eyes quickly roamed every corner and peered into every shadow.

After walking to where they were sure was the deepest the tunnel could go, they came upon a cave filled with large stones stacked to resemble coffins.

“This must be where they are sleeping.” Leroy said out loud, “Now how are we going to lift these rocks so we can bind these blood suckers?”

“Leroy” Snow admonished, “These are people who are under a curse. It may be different than the other curses we are used to, but they are still victims. And they need our help.”

“Until you can find a way to turn them back, they are monsters who won’t give a second thought to biting our necks and draining every last drop of blood from our bodies. So you’ll excuse me if I’m not feeling too sensitive about their situation right now.”

“Your neck is not one I would be eager to dine out.” A female voice hissed.

Turning in the direction of the sound, they saw a beautiful woman clad in a sheer black gown emerge from a hollow in the wall.

“But your neck,” She continued, looking at David, “I would love to have lips pressed all over it.”

“Not a chance,” Snow shouted, aiming her arrow at the woman.

 She seemed to have forgotten all about their intention to capture the vampires without harming them.

The vampire woman hissed in Snow's direction, showing off her fangs and claws. Suddenly, more vampires emerged. The dirt and rocks fell away, revealing the hiding place of the fearsome beings.

There looked to be more there than had been thought to have been turned in Storybrooke.

“I think Dracula brought over some of his vampires from the Land of Horror and the Land of Untold stories.” David observed.

Emma sent out beams of light, “There’s too many. There's no way we’ll be able to bind them. We’ll have to get out of here and search for another way.”

The group retreated, heading back to Granny’s. Emma continued to send beams of light, keeping the vampires at a distance until the group was safely inside.

Everyone was grateful that Emma had put up magic wards to keep the vampires from entering. The vampires hissed and snarled as they tried and failed to push through the invisible barrier.

Several feet behind them, Emma could make out Drake standing and watching.

They had escaped him and his minions, so why did he have a smug look on his face?

Emma’s heart was suddenly gripped by terror. Where was Killian?

They took him by surprise, using a clever ruse.

He had gotten a call on his talking phone. Emma had told him that reception in the tunnels was terrible. So when the other person on the other end of the line sounded muffled, and strange, he assumed that was the reason. Believing the woman was the Lady Snow, he believed her when she said that Emma was in danger. Without a second of thought, he raced to the tunnels.

His thoughts were too preoccupied with Emma’s safety to hear Blue or Belle calling out that it might be a trap.

And Snow hadn’t realized that the attack had been a distraction allowing a vampire to steal her phone.

Too late, he realized his mistake. He was alone in the shadow, making himself easy prey for Dracula and his vampires.

 They ambushed him. Held him down as they sank their teeth into him. Killian watched in horror as Dracula emerged from the shadows, sliced a line into his wrist and held it over his face.

Killian’s mouth was held open by the vampires, forcing him to consume the crimson liquid that dripped onto his tongue.

“Those turned by me must do as I say. You will serve me like all of the rest.” The count put the full force of his power in his voice as he gave the command. “Bring the savior, Emma Swan, to me. When you are alone with her, use your new strength and power to subdue her and carry her to me.”

The blood took over Killian’s system. The Vampire Count’s voice took over everything in his mind. His body craved to consume blood. His mind craved to obey his master.

Fear had a vice-like grip on her heart. Emma ran as fast as she could, one had glowing, the other tracking Killian’s location with her cell.

It had been safest for her to go alone. Her intense emotions made her light powerful enough to send any vampire far away and writhing in agony.

 It was only when she spotted him, walking through the forest, without a mark on him that she calmed down.

Running to him as quickly as she could, she threw her arms around him and held him tight the moment their bodies collided.

The impact triggered him to take a deep breath.

Emma’s scent was stronger than ever. Sweet and soft, everything that was good in the world. His arms tightened around her and he inhaled more of her fragrance.

Killian took a long inhale of her scent. Emma always smelled like heaven to him. But at the moment, her unique perfume was stronger and especially enticing.

“Oh, Killian,” Emma sighed. “I was so worried. I was afraid Dracula had gotten you.”

Killian was unable to explain that Dracula had gotten to him. He wanted to keep Emma safe. But could not tell her that he was now a threat to her.

Emma messaged her father, letting him know, and asking him to inform the others that she had found Killian, and that he looked unharmed.

After joining back with the others, she helped infuse the chrystals Blue and the other fairies created with her light.

“Keep these crystals around your neck and the vampires will be unable to get near you.” Blue advised.

When Killian hadn’t reached for one, he excused it by saying, “I have Emma with me most of the time. There’s really no need for me to wear one.

It may have been a fact, and the others accepted the excuse, but in the back of everyone’s mind, there was a hint of suspicion.

Though she didn’t say anything, Emma was sure there was something wrong with the man she loved. Killian was too quiet. The last time he acted differently than his full self, he had been controlled by Gold. But she still encouraged everyone to go to their respective homes. No matter what, she knew she had nothing to fear about being alone with Killian.

Dracula stood in the shadows outside of Emma Swan’s home, waiting for his newest slave to deliver her to him.

But as he looked on, he saw no sign that his orders were going to be obeyed.

In fact, the opposite of what he wanted seemed to be happening.

Drake witnessed Killian pin Emma to the wall and trail kisses down her neck. Her mouth opened in an expression of bliss and her legs spread wider, inviting Killian to press closer.

“What are you doing, you fool?” Drake hissed. “You are supposed to deliver her to me.”

But it was clear he had no power over the pirate captain.

With his body pressed to hers, his hands gripping her firmly and his mouth roaming hungrily over her, Emma could feel how much Killian wanted her.

All Killian could think about was taking Emma. Consuming her. He needed her, every part of her. He was sure that he would die if he didn’t have her.

Driven by dark desire, Killian held Emma tightly to him, and sank his fangs into her neck.

Hearing Emma’s intake of breath, Killian found the strength to pull away.

But looking into her eyes, he didn’t see fear. He saw acceptance.

And desire.

Gazing at her, Killian was overwhelmed with the thoughts and feelings he had for Emma Swan. She was truly the most remarkable woman in the world. And the most beautiful. The most tantalizing. Temptation itself.

Especially her neck, with the drops of blood on her flushed skin reminding him of rubies set on ivory satin.

Too much temptation to resist, he lowered his head to consume more of her.

Drake was taken by surprise at the sight before him.

Somehow, his spawn had escaped his influence. What was more, he was feasting on the savior’s blood.

The savior’s behavior was even more shocking. He expected her to cry out in surprise, and pain. Instead, what he heard was a moan, and he saw her eyes flutter.

Was…. Was she enjoying it?

Fingers buried deep in Killian’s hair, Emma held him in place, encouraging him to take what he wanted from her.

Drake roared with a mixture of anger and frustration. It was hard to believe, but the truth was clear; Killian Jones was able to break the hold of the curse.

But the question was, how?

Something powerful bubbled up inside of Killian. Something that had been dormant for centuries.

The blood of a dragon, though polluted and mutated through a man, combined with the blood of a product of true love, awakened an ancient bloodline inside the pirate captain.

I'm probably never, ever going to finish or edit this Considine fanfic I wrote during a retreat, so onto the trash can (this blog) it goes.

*add the scene about Jade teling Con it's okay to forget her here.*

.........

When Jade died - killed by old age, of all things - Considine was almost tempted to give up.

How was it that he'd forgotten his best friend's laugh but could still remember the pain of losing him? He might not remember it with his mind, but his body did.

So when he almost collapsed upon itself when it lost his One, it felt...too familiar.

During those moments blinded by grief, it did register in his mind that this physical reaction to Jade's death was partly the fault of the magic binding him to her. But another, smaller but immovable, part whispered to him that the grief and pain in his heart wasn't new.

Wildly, in the times where his grief was the most intense, he wondered if that's how it would always be. That he would care and love and pour his heart out to another, only for them to leave him empty of the only person who could fill that specific hole in his heart.

Then, someone burst into his room.

Considine jumped, startled by the noise, the haze clouding his sight clearing for a moment to see Orrin - white-haired, slightly wrinkled in the perfect way only a Fae could be, yet still as stubborn as ever - drawn immediately back by one of Killian's minions.

"No, let me IN. I don't care if he's unstable," the old Fae hissed, wrenching himself from - was that Celestina's? - grip.

Vaguely, Considine knew that Orrin would never have been able to break free from the strong vampire's grip if she hadn't let him go. Orrin, though his cagey willfulness had only grown, had not gotten stronger with age.

Then, Orrin was in front of him.

"Considine," Orrin greeted. The words held their own grief but contained, like a kettle before reaching boiling point.

Considine didn't even look up at the sliver of light Orrin's entrance brought, nor did he look at Celestina's figure hovering worriedly at the entrance.

That's all they were. Simply there.

And then...

"You know. I remember something Jade - "

"Don't say her name," Considine hissed, looking up. If he were anyone else, maybe his voice would have shaken, but he was a vampire elder. And he was Considine. All he sounded was angry.

"I remember something Jade told me," Orrin continued, unbothered. "She told me a few years back when we had that scare with her almost being killed in action to remind you of something."

Maybe it would have been against his will if Jade's words had been any less important to him. Maybe...but it wasn't against his will when his attention focused just a little bit.

"Remember that you are loved."

Considine straightened and looked at Orrin. For a moment, he saw a mirage of the Fae's younger self - *insert Orrin description* - before it blurred to the current picture of the aged Fae.

It was almost too much to bear, knowing that he would lose Orrin as well one day. (*note: can the vampire spittle work on Fae?*)

But the words cleared the fog in his mind. Jade's voice in her younger years, trapping his face between her hands and telling him that. Their slayer children repeating the words of their mother to him - "I love you, Dad!" or "You know we love you, right, Dad? Even if you do look younger than us now..." or even just "Love you! Bye!"

And then Jade. Her dying breath being one full of love as she told him the words Orrin had repeated to him. "Considine. Even if you forget me, remembered that you are loved."

The river of thoughts floods his mind in a single second, but he doesn't miss Orrin's near instant follow up.

"To be honest, I don't know if there's any special meaning to that, Considine," the Fae continues, sitting down with a slight thud on one of the chairs in the elaborate Drake Hall room. Orrin looks Considine dead in the eyes. "But she's right, you know? I love you, too. Don't forget that."

Considine blinks.

From the doorway, a voice speaks up.

"If I may, Elder Maledictus," Celestina says, voice calm with her natural confidence. "Perhaps I am bold to speak for my Family Elder, but he also loves you, as loath as he is sometimes to admit it."

The words from the two supernaturals overrun the torrent in his soul longing for Jade. It's still there, but it's like a dam has been raised with those words, keeping the water from destroying everything. Jade's memory won't be a flood of destruction but a peaceful lake surrounded by forest where the beautiful things always grow. It may wax and wane with the seasons, a fire may come and destroy it like it had when Ambrose had died, but it would flourish and never die as long as that lake full of the memory and reality of Jade's love survived.

Considine scoffs, and for the first time in weeks, he cracks one of his usual smiles that Kilkian once described as his "scheming smile." Jade had countered that it was his normal one that showed he was well.

"You both are saps," he informs the two.

At that, Orrin basically grins at him, looking as lofty and self-possessed as always. "Saps who can't lie, though," he reminds.

Right. Saps who can't lie.

............

"You know. Out of all of us, of course your Family would be your gaggle of slayers," Killian comments.

He and Considine watch as Considine's great great great grandkids, give or take a few greats, go through drills with the descendants of the O'Neils.

Considine gives Killian a magnanimous smile. "What can I say. Humans are more interesting than the stuffy immortals they can become."

One of the Jade slayers spots the two vampires and waves. He mouths something that Considine easily guesses is either, "Hello, Uncle Considine!" or "Get your lazy butts down here!"

Truly they are children after his own heart. Having slayer descendants - and named after his One, as per the unanimous decision of his grandchildren - was just as fun as he remembered predicting.

The joy of it dims sometimes when he feels a hand on his that isn't there. Or when he can see a serious critical eye ruthlessly correcting, criticizing, or complimenting the stances and drills, a sight that fades like colored perfume.

But right now, with Killian next to him also waving back at Considine's descendant, Considine can feel his heart growing in fullness.

It's ridiculous.

The gaps that Ambrose, Jade, Orrin, his teammates on the Special Task Force, and many others following never really has been filled. And yet, somehow, they've all become meadows and fields and buildings and paintings of their own.

Really, maybe Aristide was right about Considine getting poetic and soft in his old age.

"It's even more interesting, you know. I don't think I've met another slayer line where their vampire descendant has survived," Killian continues to muse, something like a smile and a smirk playing on his lips. "You're really too good at staying alive."

Considine snorts, his red eyes indolently scanning the field of slayers. "I have to be if I need to keep you Dracos brats alive."

"Hm," Killian says.

They both know what that means.

But it isn't often that Considine replies to the implication. 

"Yes, I suppose I've found that life is worth living even if things die."

So perhaps he was getting softer. A little bit.

.........

One day, Considine woke up and couldn't remember Jade's smile.

It was all right, he told himself. After all, he had videos of her laughing at something stupid he said. He had pictures of her wearing all sorts of expressions. He had recordings. He had made sure to keep up on the centuries of technological changes so these images could be preserved. He had -

The thought - or perhaps the lack of thought - was enough to make him cry. Almost.

At this point, Ambrose was but a faint name in his memories, recorded in a book of important names he'd decided to start making upon Jade's suggestion. At this point, he couldn't remember which was Orrin's face and which was Grove's without looking through his albums and committing them to his memory (why did Fae all have the same stupidly symmetrical looks?) alongside the hundreds of other people he had met.

"It's hard, isn't it?" Hazel said later that day when he confessed to her his growing problem with his memories.

Why couldn't he recall what was so clearly captured on camera? Why, instead of a face in the haze of his mind, did he recall more frequently the cold, laminated or digitalized, pictures that were terrifyingly...still?

"I can't remember Felix, Momoko, Leila, or some others either," Hazel continued easily when Considine said nothing. She laughed, though it lacked her usual humor. "I can barely remember the Paragon. You know, just the other day, I recalled he had a hideous cat, going through pictures. But I can't recall its name...or even that generation's Paragon's name."

Hazel sighed, then cleared her throat to catch the vampire's attention.

So Considine raised his head and an eyebrow at her. "What?"

The look she gave him with her now-red eyes (Considine couldn't recall on command what their original color was, but given her blonde head, it'd probably been blue) matched his caustic mood. 

"But you know something?" Hazel said, voice dripping with challenge. "I know that they were important to me. I remember that they loved me, and that I loved them. Love isn't something you can get rid of easily."

How familiar those words were.

"I believe that," Considine finally admitted after a pause. "But love doesn't exist without a lover and the loved, at least not the specific kind only two people can share. You think the love my One - my Jade - gave me and the love I had for her can still survive? That Ambrose's love and my love for him can continue? That specific love?"

Hazel said nothing.

Of course she didn't. Because while love can surpass death, it is still something alive. It surpasses death but does not live in it. It bevomes stagnant or one-sided.

"Well..." Hazel muttered.

"Tell me what you remember about Momoko and Felix," Considine suddenly spoke up. "You're not so old as me that people start blurring together, after all. And I don't think I knew them well."

Hazel blinked. "What? Momoko was Josh's wife, but she didn't opt for being turned. You knew her pretty well, at least."

They stared at each other for a spell before Considine broke the gaze to stare at the trees towering over Drake Hall.

Neither spoke up again.

One of the Dracos kids wanting to snooze

.............

There are two rings that Considine wears. One is *insert description of Ambrose's ring*.

The other is a simple gold circlet with jade and diamonds embedded around it.

He doesn't take them off except when to shower, sometimes to sleep (though more often than not he keeps them on).

It feels wrong to take either off, and he knows they belonged to people important to him at one point in his thousands of year of life. He'll know if he goes through his portrait gallery.

But he has things to do, people to meet today.

He'll do that when he has time in the next week, maybe.

Considine fiddles with his rings as he waits for Amber - a wizard lady in her 40s he'd recently become acquainted with - and her two children at a bench in the park.

The rings are warm.
