#NEALE!!! WOO!!!

[suburbonlegends]

and if you look up the phrase "longing glance" you'll find this scene

[pirateswhore]

if ouat got rights to Peter Pan n Hook in season 1, this would've been suuuch a good fucking concept for hook's s1 curse identity. even if they didn't stay together in later seasons, it would've FUCKED rumple up so hard and I live for it

i will admit. when i was watching season 2 of ouat. i shipped hook and belle. not in a serious way but not in a crackship way either. just in a "it would be SO fucking funny if hook stole both rumpelstiltskin's wife AND new gf" way. up until he shot her i was like. yeah i can see this developing into romantic chemistry. a funky little enemies to lovers if you will. but you know what, not JUST for the joke also because it would be thematic. rumpelstiltskin is narratively punished for being a coward, and then is narratively punished AGAIN for being a huge manipulative dickhead, BY THE SAME MAN BOTH TIMES. this makes sense in my head i swear

Summary: When Emma came into her position as Storybrooke Coven Leader, she ended things with the powerful Vampire Overlord, Killian Jones. She’s spent over a decade working alongside him and ignoring the growing tension between them.

During his best mate’s wedding, Killian decides he is done waiting. He is ready to have his mate back in his arms (and bed) again. Emma is not an easy woman to woo, but Killian has never backed down from a challenge.

When Emma’s jilted ex-boyfriend returns to town and Emma goes missing, Killian will stop at nothing to get her back and ensure that nothing can ever separate them again.

Rating: E

CW: Mention of domestic abuse, blood and blood drinking (vampires), threatening situations, minor violence, death, mention of parental death

Entry for Captain Swan Supernatural Summer 2023 (@cssns)

Tagging: @anmylica, @elfiola, @goforlaunchcee, @jrob64, @kmomof4 , @stahlop, @teamhook, @tiganasummertree, @undercaffinatednightmare, @xarandomdreamx, @zaharadessert

A big thank you to @kmomof4 for her cheerleading and sanity-checking.

The kitchen was filled with the smell of roasted potatoes and vegetables, hot oil sizzled and popped as Killian laid the sea bass filets in the pan, and the wine had rested. All that remained for the evening to begin was the arrival of a certain stubborn witch he spent a decade chasing. Humming to himself, he grabbed his glass from the counter and took a sip. Then, he turned the fish to brown the other side. 

Despite the disturbing site that they investigated this afternoon, his heart was weightless with the joy of having his mate in his house. After waking up with her nestled against him on his couch this morning, he became fixated on getting her to return home; his vampiric instincts desperate to be surrounded by her scent and to provide her with all the protection that he was able. It was difficult to deny his protective instincts around her, especially after last night’s encounter with Neal. 

After he made coffee for them this morning, they discussed the strangeness of the encounter in more detail. Killian was concerned that Emma hadn’t been able to sense Neal’s magical signature before he approached her. A witch as powerful as Emma was able to pick up on signatures from a considerable distance. Emma brushed it away as being too distracted to notice. But sensing magic was second nature to supernatural beings - he couldn’t shake the worry something more was happening. When he raised the objection that she had also been able to access her magic for a few moments, she had shut down the conversation - Leave it alone, Killian. 

There was more to that exchange than Emma was seeing. She kept blaming herself, inventing weaknesses that he knew she did not have, for Neal’s attack. Even now, his jaw ticked and his fist clenched in frustration that she was blaming herself for that prick’s behaviour. He would have eliminated that worthless vampire after she had fallen asleep last night, but she made him promise that he would let her handle Neal. 

“You left the door unlocked,” Emma said by way of greeting as she walked into his kitchen from the entry. He switched off the stove, put the fish filets on their plates, and turned to watch her approach and he was filled with the want to experience this every evening for the rest of his life. A plate with four chai cupcakes was in one hand, likely Mary Margaret’s handiwork, and a duffle bag hung from her shoulder.

Killian cocked an eyebrow. “Can I take your bag?”

“Erm, well,” Emma started, looking anywhere but at his face. She set the cupcakes near their dinner plates on the island between them and dropped the bag at her feet.

Squaring her shoulders, she looked at him and tried again. “I was, I mean, I thought just in case…” 

“Just in case,” he repeated, his tone filled with feigned innocence. “Shall I take it to the guest room? Just in case the evening runs long?” 

She narrowed her eyes at him, but her face had turned a rich red that immediately became his favourite colour. “No, no need. It was ridiculous, Mary Margaret caught me leaving and…I will put it back in the car.”

Killian’s eyes were bright with humour. “Aye, that is likely for the best.” 

He had picked up the bag and looped the strap over his shoulder before she could blink. He was clearly suppressing a smile as he walked out of the kitchen with it in the opposite direction of his guest rooms, in the direction of his bedroom. He was back almost as quickly as he’d left, the bag deposited, and a crooked smile on his face. 

Killian didn’t attempt to hide the fact his fangs had descended at the thought of having Emma in his room and in his bed. His smile broadened when Emma had caught sight of them; it wasn’t the scent of fear that had filled the space between them and threatened to pull him under. Her arousal surrounded him and after over a decade of celibacy, the irresistible scent was driving him mad with desperation.

§§§§    §§§§    §§§§    §§§§    

“Swan.” His voice was hoarse with need and warning, and his blue eyes rolled with the bright starlight of magic, evidence that his control was slipping. Killian rarely let his vampiric nature free and Emma felt a shiver run through her body at the realisation that she was the reason it was surfacing now. He cleared his throat and leashed his self-control before speaking again. "Swan, if you were planning on eating then you need to think about something else. Your desire is," he took in a deep breath, "commanding me, love."

Eyes bright with challenge and humour, Emma reached toward the cupcakes between them on the granite island. She swiped a bit of frosting onto her finger and lifted her hand slowly toward her lips. Killian tracked the action but he stood completely, unnaturally still, battling to keep his control tightly in place. 

“I’ll just have dessert.” Emma placed her frosted finger on the tip of her tongue. She kept her eyes on his; his shattered expression encouraged her further. She wrapped her lips around her finger and sucked it clean. She pulled her finger from her lips with a soft pop and a wicked smile on her face.

She leaned on the counter to reach again for the cupcakes, coating her finger in more frosting. His hook captured her wrist and his hand gripped her hips, holding her in place, his sapphire and starlight gaze holding hers as he guided her finger to his lips, slowly, allowing her every opportunity to stop him. 

Emma had no intention of stopping him. 

He closed his lips around her, his tongue sweeping off the frosting and circling the pad of her finger in an explicit reminder of all the incredible things that tongue could do to her. The sensation of him sucking lightly and her memory of his mouth on her neck, on her nipples, and on her clit made her clench her thighs together to ease the sudden ache. 

A strangled sound, somewhere between a moan and a plea, escaped her when he scraped his sharp fang against her finger. He relinquished it with a satisfied, “Mmm, delicious.”

“Mary Margaret makes the best frosting.”

“I wasn’t talking about the cupcakes, Swan.” He pulled her closer to him with the hand still snug on her hip. He brushed his lips softly against hers in both question and invitation. Emma's heart raced as she closed the distance between them, placing a demanding kiss on his lips and providing him with her answer. 

She tasted the frosting that lingered on his lips as she deepened their kiss further. She pushed her body against his and felt his cock pressed between them. Keeping her body tight to him so her movements would provide some friction against his sensitive head, she rolled her hips against him. A low groan rumbled through him at the action. Breaking away from her lips, he kissed and nipped his way down her neck to her shoulder. 

“Emma.” His voice was broken and his expression was shattered. She vaguely registered that her posture was requesting and welcoming a vampire to drink from the vein. She was confident that he would never take what she didn’t offer; her heart still fluttered excitedly when he scraped his fangs lightly over her skin.

His hand slipped under her shirt, flames sparking wherever his fingers touched. He rolled her nipple between his fingers, sucking at the other through the thin fabric of her shirt. The flat of his hook continued to apply pressure against her hip, keeping her pressed firmly against him. 

“Killian.” She moaned. Her mind was too jumbled with sensations to say anything beyond his name. He was there to provide her with all she wanted - his lips and fingers exactly where she needed them. 

He was everywhere. 

Still, she needed more. 

Killian lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He smiled wickedly at her. “I have dreamt of having you needy in my arms and my name falling desperately from your beautiful lips for so long, Emma.”

She made some incoherent noise in response as she ground her hips against him. The resulting friction gave her a little reprieve from the tension building in her body. “I need…” 

“Mmmhm, I know.” He carried her toward his bedroom. Kissing and nipping desperately at her neck, throat, shoulders, and anywhere else to which he could gain access as he walked. 

Once they had crossed the threshold, he set her down gently on her feet. She whined in protest. Killian chuckled lowly as he made quick work of her belt and the buttons on her jeans. She pushed her jeans down hurriedly as he tugged them off, both eager to carry on what they had started in the kitchen. Killian tossed her jeans off to the side, kicked aside his own trousers, and swept her back into his arms, her legs wrapping tightly around him once more.

They came back together with desperate kisses. Emma raked her fingers through his hair, tugging him closer to her to deepen every kiss. Killian tightened his arm around her, his strength and warmth providing her comfort that she hadn’t realised she needed and had missed for so long. She wanted him to surround her and fill her so completely that everything else would cease to exist. 

“I need to hear you, Emma,” Killian demanded, voice low, into her ear. His cock was teasing as he rubbed his head against her clit. 

She laid her head back on the wall, rocking her hips, desperate to pull him in deeper. Killian held her up, hook refreshingly cool under her left thigh, preventing her from being able to take in any more of his hardened cock. He tsked. “Love, give me what I need. I will give you your every desire.”

His voice sent a wave of pleasure through her body, the promise something she knew he could and would deliver on. “I am yours.” She rolled her hips and was rewarded with a magical flash in his blue eyes accompanied by a groan she felt more than heard. “I belong to you, Killian.”

“Aye, that you do.” He flashed her a heartbreakingly beautiful smile. His pupils were blown wide with only a thin, bright ring visible around them. The creature within was slipping the tight leash he always kept on it; her words of surrender and acceptance, after all of these years without them, pulled out the most primal desires from the powerful vampire holding her against the wall. He slammed into her, arm wrapped tightly around her hips to hold her steady as he set a demanding, almost punishing, pace. 

Her head fell to his shoulder, her breathing erratic as she felt her body tightening around him. 

“Good, Emma.” He didn’t let up the pace, murmuring soft and encouraging words in between them as he slammed into her. 

She pulled at him, desperately, she needed to be closer to him. As the tension low in her stomach grew, she let out a throaty sound, a mixture of a moan and his name. 

She wasn’t sure what she’d meant to say, but Killian seemed to understand.

“That’s it, love, let go. I’ve got you.” He held her tightly, following her over the edge once he felt her shatter around him. 

They stayed like that, his arms tight around her, cock softening inside her, forehead resting against hers, until they were able to steady their breathing. He slowly withdrew and she whimpered at the separation.

“Oh, I am far from done, love.” He took her over to the bed they hadn’t quite made it to before and settled her onto the fluffy duvet. “But, I need you laid out before me for this next part,” he said with a salacious glint in his eye.

§§§§    §§§§    §§§§    §§§§    

After becoming thoroughly reacquainted with one another and reheating the very cold meal they previously abandoned, Emma fell asleep curled in Killian’s arms. They rested, tangled together all night. He woke before her and pulled her close.

He held her tight, basking in the feel of her soft body pressing against his with every breath she took, and drew in a deep breath in hopes of drowning in her scent before the light of the morning could tear them apart. He could not recall a time he had felt so content. At this moment, he was certain he had everything he would ever need or had ever needed in his grasp and he feared letting go. For if he did, he suspected the mirage would fade away and reveal that he dreamt it all. 

In her sleep, she rolled further into him. Her elbow jabbed painfully into his side with the movement, pulling a shocked noise from him. She didn’t wake; he hadn’t expected she would. Waking Emma was nearly impossible, but she wasn’t a peaceful bed partner. She often jabbed sharp elbows into tender bits, tickled his legs with icy toes, threw her arm into his face, wrapped the blankets tightly around her like a cocoon, and muttered the strangest strings of words; but, he would endure it all to keep her tucked beside him. 

Unfortunately, time doesn’t halt to permit even the most powerful vampire to capture every detail of the few perfect moments he is granted. As if mocking him for such sentimental thoughts, the morning arrived sooner than was fair bathing his room in bright, warm sunlight. He muttered low curses at it in a failed attempt to scare it into submitting to his will. It, of course, continued to fill his room. 

Killian gently nudged Emma’s shoulder. She didn’t stir. He lightly touched her side, lingering on spots he knew were ticklish. She grunted in her sleep but didn’t wake. Chuckling to himself, he rolled over so that he was on top of her and kissed her firmly on the lips. She melted into the kiss, releasing a soft sweet sound before her body stiffened as if she were preparing for a fight. Her eyes popped open in surprise when she realised that she was held too firmly to strike her assailant. 

“Good morning, Love,” Killian greeted her. Her body relaxed beneath him. He released his hold on her and kissed her gently on the forehead. Letting out an annoyed sigh, she pulled the blankets tight over her head. Killian pushed off the bed and padded on silent feet to the kitchen.

When he returned with a cup in hand, Emma had already resumed sleeping. The aroma of cocoa and coffee with a touch of cinnamon swirled around the room and a low hmmm rose from the blanket pile in the middle of his bed. Followed shortly by the appearance of her hand grabbing blindly for the cup he held. A soft smile pulled at his lips and the humour danced in his words as he spoke. “I’m not giving you this until you’re sitting up.” 

She clawed out from her position, grunting dramatically at the clearly herculean effort it was taking, her face a mask of annoyance and frustration until she was repositioned. She shot him a look - are you happy, now? Offering her the full mug, he slid onto the bed next to her. A warm, soft emotion filled his chest as he watched her slowly come alive with each sip. 

“Will you spend the day with me?” 

She rewarded him with one of her rare full smiles. His breath caught at the sight of it.

“Depends,” she answered. 

He cocked an eyebrow - oh, really?

“What’re we doing?”

“Good.” He pushed off the bed and started toward the large pass-through closet adjoining his bathroom and bedroom. “We have to get going or we’ll miss it.”

“I haven’t agreed to anything yet,” she called from the bed. 

“Didn’t you?” 

He could feel the eye roll from the other room. Emma not declining his offer or making one of her flimsy excuses to keep her distance between them was the same as her agreeing, and they both knew it. She didn’t reply to his teasing question, but he could hear her moving from the bed and crossing to the dresser where he’d laid out the clothes from her duffle. His heart was light, a smile on his lips and that warmth still filling his chest as he dressed for his second, first date with the woman he had loved since the first, first date.

ranger’s apprentice / protector of the small crossover thoughts

idk who is in what world and when in the timelines these are but:

halt obviously adores kel immediately. she's reserved, has the poker face of a true ranger, has given her whole life to a realm she's an outsider in and which doesn't take her seriously at first

also she's quietly funny and very lethal

horace and kel get on like a house on fire. horace teaches her more sword tricks and kel tries to teach him the glaive, but he prefers the sword

will is annoyed with both of them for being so tall

alyss reminds kel of her parents, and she takes to the glaive immediately. they spar in the mornings and alyss coaches her through making diplomatic moves as a lady knight commander

kel and will respect each other, but will is shocked at how talented and accomplished kel was at 15 when he just started ranger training. kel half wishes she had the relationship between lord wyldon as will does with halt, but then pushes that off as silly. she had lord raoul and that's more than enough.

neal and gilan swordfight and commiserate abt the expectations placed on noble kids; neal from the perspective of having left a mage's place to try for knighthood, and gilan from the perpective of having left a knighthood to try for an oakleaf (which seems like magic to most people)

horace doesn't get neal, but halt's dry wit match with neal's sarcasm immediately and they both delight in torturing horace

lalassa is afraid of jenny at first (that ladle is heavy!) but then helps her learn new self-defense moves and becomes a regular at jenny's tavern

tug and peachblossom bond over their loyalty to their riders. peachblossom is like the halt to tug’s will

lady pauline and lady ilane have tea almost every day. (everyone is scared of what they're planning.)

neal teaches horace some poetry to woo cassandra with and cheers him on from the sidelines

[katia-dreamer]

Woo congrats again! Well deserved. Your writing and CR/TLOVM takes are top tier! I am looking forward to lots of sleep this weekend, Resident Evil 4 when it comes out, and celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday with her. What are YOU looking forward to?

Aww, friend! Thank you! <3 Seriously. Thank you! I certainly hope you get a lot of sleep, you certainly deserve it! Aww! I hope you and your girlfriend have a fantastic time, that sounds so fun!

Right now? I am looking forward to the show I'm in being done and having my weekend evenings back! Also, the soundtrack to S2. PLEASE, NEAL ACREE, I AM BEGGING.

You, my dear friend, are just utterly fantastic. I have admired you from the get-go. You are always patient and kind to me. And you have just been so encouraging. You are always a delight to talk to and have great taste- you are so effin' cool. I know I've said that, but I had to remind you. ;)

I always enjoy talking about stuff with you because I can tell how much it means to you. Even if it's not a fandom we share. You are also quite a talented writer, and the x-files fic you shared were all so nummy. I ate them up.

You were one of my first fandom friends and I deeply appreciate you. I love interacting with you and chatting when we can. I enjoy seeing you on my dash and in my notes.

You are awesome, my friend. <3

want one?

Swanfire Month Day 22 | What Do You Think Emma and Neal’s Favourite Song Is?

I’ve thought a lot about this. We know that their song is Only You, and that Neal uses this song to woo Emma. So I can infer from this that Neal’s (and Emma’s) music taste is heavily 80s based.

I head cannon that Emma and Neal both love Queen, particularly Freddie Mercury and will refer to him as “Freddie” to each other, almost as if he is a close friend of theirs.

I think in terms of individual favourite songs, I think Neal’s would be “Killer Queen.” I don’t know why, that’s just how I feel. I feel the same about my headcanon from Emma’s favourite song, which I like to think is “September.”

I also conveniently headcanon that Emma and Neal’s anniversary date is the 21st of September. So, there you go.

I also just think in general music would be important to them, like it’s something they share and hold dear.

A Swen’s Guide to the Into the Story-Verse Alternate Realities

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s the Christmas Eve Eve and that means it’s time for the last entry of our guide where we explore the 6 alternative realities presented in the latest addition to the Swan-Mills Saga by the ever so marvellous @swanqueeneverafter​

This time we’re gonna explore...

!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!

Code name: Zeta Reality

First appearance: chapter 40

Set: our world the duration of Pilot (s01e01) but as altered by Emma’s journey to the past in the Once & Future Queen

Fixed by: a true love’s kiss between Emma and Regina in chapter 47

Unfinished business: not finishing what they started way back when in chapter 1 of the Story of Us

Zeta Reality presents us with a Groundhog Day AU we (read: I) never knew I needed. And it actually might be my personal favourite alternate reality.

The storyline follows Regina, newly with all her memories, trapped in a Groundhog Day kind of situation where she has to relive the day she met Emma for the first time, only this time it’s more heartbreaking for her because the Emma arriving with Henry from Boston every evening is actually her time travelling wife who disappears after sharing a true love’s kiss with Regina.

Emma and Regina aren’t the only couple we’re all rooting for (pun intended) as Root and Shaw finally get together in this reality too.

So let’s look at Regina’s attempts at breaking the cycle.

Attempt No. 1

As with every endlessly repeating cycle, the first one or two repeats the protagonist doesn’t usually immediately assume that they’re stuck in a loop. The same naturally happens to Regina too, so the first repeat can be hardly even counted as an attempt at breaking the cycle.

Attempt No. 2

Regina goes to Sister Astrid/Nova/Root to ask for help, as she understands that Root has been helping her and Emma through the realities. Root also tells her that she has just the one day that keeps repeating itself to make Emma fall in love with her.

And so Regina and Root don’t waste any time and go to Boston, where Emma tries to steal a dress in a store and gets caught by Walsh. Fortunately, Regina shows up just in time to save the day, however, she lets herself slip when Emma asks her whether she’s married. Emma walks away and Regina, sad, returns home.

Attempt No. 3

Determined to redo her last attempt at wooing Emma, Regina (with Root) once again travels to Boston. 

This time, Regina preventively knocks Walsh out and tries the “Indecent Proposal” approach, but when that does not work on Emma at all, she eventually opts for telling Emma how she sees her and that she reminds her of her best friend.

Attempt No. 4

Any further development in their romance is, however, prevented by Walsh who called for backup in the form of the police. Seeing Emma and Regina get arrested, Root and Shaw try to break them free - unsuccessfully.

This time, Regina approaches the issue at hand like the nerd she is - by gathering information. After all, it’s not an easy task to make someone fall in love with you in a day, even if the person IS your true love.

So, Regina asks Ingrid how to approach Emma in this phase of her life - her walls as high as they can be. Then she tells Rumple where he can find Neal AND Belle (kinda sweet of her).

The last person Regina asks for intel is Emma herself - only the “future” version of her, who shares a TLK with Regina every evening. “Future” Emma not only gives Regina advice but also takes her to the “past” Emma’s apartment where they... make most of the time they’ve got before Henry arrives. Then the whole family travels back to Storybrooke.

 Attempt No. 5

Regina’s happy bubble about finally knowing how to approach Emma is burst by Rumple who warns her she’s running out of time and attempts.

In her last attempt, Regina changes the tactic and lets Emma come to her instead (well, as much as that counts when Regina needs to go to Boston ;)), and so Emma saves her from getting run over by a car, then being the knight in the shining armour even takes Regina to a doctor.

Regina then offers to make Emma believe in magic, and though sceptical, Emma agrees. Their first stop is a planetarium, where Emma starts having flashbacks of her other selves’ memories also finds the magic compass in her pocket, but decides it doesn’t mean anything.

Emma in turn takes Regina to a karaoke bar, where Regina’s singing triggers another wave of flashbacks leading to a fiery make-out session which is, however, broken by Emma running away, scared of what might be - the SPARKS, these two could start a fire everywhere BUT Emma’s walls are still much too high for Regina to take them down in just a couple of hours. So, Regina leaves, heartbroken but knowing she couldn’t do much more.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unexpectedly, to say the least, Emma comes home to Regina, having remembered everything thanks to a copy of the Storybook her future self left in her apartment, and the two of them fix the last reality in the most perfect way possible - by making love by the fireplace in Regina’s study.

Alright everyone, this has been so much fun! Hope you’ve all enjoyed Into the Story-Verse as much as we did, thank you once again to @swanqueeneverafter​.

Happy Holidays! ❤

[suburbonlegends]

Series: Part 9 of Neal Caffrey Whumptober 2024 Summary:

Peter reties the tie, securing the blinds once again, before going back to the bed, retaking his seat. He takes a cold, limp hand in his, pressing his fingers against the wrist. He hated the sound of the beeping, it was too…mechanical. Too distant. The feeling of the pulse under his fingers felt real, steadying.

“I don’t know why everyone asks so many questions about the window. It’s not that weird, is it? If it wasn’t broken, I wouldn’t have to tie it up.”

The golden light was starting to fade, a shadow starting at the corner of the bed by its occupants' feet. Peter wanted to grab it, to pin it in place.

aka Neal gets a head injury while on a mission because of a risky move to save Peter, and the fic follows Peter waiting for him to wake up.

Blue you convinced me to watch White Collar through your posts and I started the first episode and you remind me so much of Neal(face) Like wow that hair!

are you trying to woo me with these compliments... 🥹 seriously tho I'm so happy you're watching white collar! I truly love that show much and neal caffrey is one of my og blorbos. being compared to Neal is one of the greatest compliments, bc he lowkey instigated a huge gender crisis for tween blue when the show was first airing. like oh no, he's pretty and well-dressed. I need to be him. tysm fhdjhsjdg

anyway, happy watching! and if you ever need to yell about the show pls return to my ask box or dms so I can join you 💞

Summary: When Emma came into her position as Storybrooke Coven Leader, she ended things with the powerful Vampire Overlord, Killian Jones. She’s spent over a decade working alongside him and ignoring the growing tension between them.

During his best mate’s wedding, Killian decides he is done waiting. He is ready to have his mate back in his arms (and bed) again. Emma is not an easy woman to woo, but Killian has never backed down from a challenge.

When Emma’s jilted ex-boyfriend returns to town and Emma goes missing, Killian will stop at nothing to get her back and ensure that nothing can ever separate them again.

Rating: E

CW: Mention of domestic abuse, blood and blood drinking (vampires), threatening situations, minor violence, death, mention of parental death

Author Note: This chapter has over 2400 words. It had about that many commas until the lovely, patient, and enduring @ultraluckycatnd worked her magic. Any remaining commas that are misplaced are late adds for which she is not responsible. This is coming to you early because it has BEEN A WEEK and it is only Tuesday. Here is a treat for us all because we deserve it.

“Coffee?”

Emma shot her sister an annoyed glare; she was far too chipper for the early hour. Ruby just grinned back at her, pulling out two coffee mugs and filling them. She added a sugar cube to one before sliding it over to Emma. Eying the mug with some suspicion, Emma accepted the warm cup, cradling it in her hands as if it held the most precious thing she’d ever encountered. She breathed in the strong nutty and flowery aroma of the steam rising from the mug. She could feel the drowsiness starting to retreat before she took her first sip. 

No sooner had the mug reached her lips when Ruby cleared her throat. Emma glanced up to find Ruby looking at her expectantly. She took a sip to steady herself before dealing with, well, with whatever it was that had Ruby all excitable this morning. 

“Soo..?” Ruby prompted.

Emma looked at the mug in her hands with a mixture of betrayal and sorrow. “You’re just a bribe,” she muttered somewhat mournfully. 

“What did Killian say to you last night?” 

“I ran into Neal on my way home after the wedding,” Emma answered suddenly. 

“What is he doing back?” Ruby demanded. Her playfulness dropped completely, anger flashing behind her eyes. 

“Gods only know,” Emma said.

“Emma, this can only be bad. I am getting Elsa, Anna, and Mary Margaret over here, right now,” Ruby was already reaching for her phone. The phone jumped from its position on the counter, grazing her fingers. Ruby scowled at Emma. “Seriously?”

“We don’t know that he is staying or why he was even here.”

“We don’t need to know anything more than he was here.” She cursed under her breath as her phone was pulled from her grasp once again. “Emma!” 

“I am only telling you because I need you to find out if he is staying,” Emma admitted, letting Ruby get the phone this time. “We don’t need to get anyone else involved until we know there is something to worry about.” 

“You only told me because you thought I’d forget about whatever happened between Killian and you last night,” Ruby said, pointedly. 

“I want to know before anyone else bumps into him. Please, Ruby?”

“Fine, I’ll help,” Ruby agreed. “But, the second I get back…” Ruby was already walking toward the door, her wolf-half eager to track down prey.

“I know, I know,” Emma murmured to the empty room.

§§§§    §§§§    §§§§    §§§§

Ruby returned before lunch without much success. She had lost his trail at the town line; magic tended to be a bit unpredictable at the extents of the town for reasons that had yet to be discovered. Her intuition told her that he hadn’t left town, but she hadn’t been able to pick up his scent again. 

Emma frowned as she tried to puzzle out what Neal was doing back in Storybrooke. Her own magic whispered warnings that filled her with a nervous energy she hadn’t felt in decades. The minutes she’d spent in his presence had taken her right back to that dreadful place she’d been when they’d separated all those years ago. She may have been a powerful witch, the most powerful witch in Storybrooke, but just seeing Neal had ripped away her self-confidence and left her feeling small, powerless - the way he’d made her feel as a teen. 

“We have to tell them.”

“I know.”

“Today?”

Emma nodded. “Key lime or pecan?” 

Ruby wrinkled her nose. “Apple.”

“Mary Margaret hates apples.”

“Blueberry, then.”

“Blueberry it is,” Emma agreed, jumping off the bar stool and crossing to the pantry to start baking. She couldn’t remember who had started the tradition but whenever a family meeting was called, the hostess provided a sweet treat. Emma had settled on perfecting pies, Ruby typically brought ice cream, Anna and Elsa always brought an elaborate chocolate creation, and Mary Margaret surprised them with something that likely came from that baking competition programme she adored. 

As she started on the pie, her mind quieted as her thoughts turned to the task at hand. The physical task centred her in the present after the unrest of the last day or so - which is likely why they’d continued this tradition. 

It felt like moments later when Elsa walked through the door, her greeting was interrupted when her twin rushed in after. “We’re the first ones here.” The triumphant look Anna threw Elsa had Emma fighting to suppress a smile. Elsa felt that being five minutes early somewhere was late. But Anna’s conduit abilities meant she was often distracted by the fluctuations of the ambient magic, losing track of time and days at times when the magical field was particularly dynamic. It was a common exchange between the two, and Emma felt oddly comforted by the familiarity of the disagreement. 

Elsa looked toward the ceiling, pleading with the gods for patience, before turning her attention back to Emma. “Is there tea?” 

Emma gestured toward the empty kettle, still firmly suppressing her smile, but her eyes danced mischievously. “I wasn’t expecting anyone to be here already.” 

“Oh, don’t you start,” Elsa warned.

“Ruby lives here and she isn’t even here,” Emma waved her hand to indicate the kitchen and living space around them. She couldn’t hide her smug smile when Elsa slammed the lid on the kettle harder than necessary before placing it on the flame. 

“You and Killian were awfully cosy last night,” Anna’s voice was all innocent interest. 

“You promised me,” Ruby added, her timing as impeccable as always. Between her wolf hearing and her telepathic magic, she rarely missed the moment a conversation became particularly interesting. 

“This can’t be the most pressing thing we need to discuss.”

“Well, Mary Margaret isn’t here to discuss more serious matters,” Ruby reasoned.

When all three pairs of eyes looked at her expectantly, Emma sighed. “Fine.” She took a moment to prepare herself. “He just said something ridiculous like ‘It’s time,’ or whatever. I think he wants us to try dating again.” Even though she’d tried to sound unaffected as she spoke, her cheeks burned as she recalled how exactly how he said Time’s up and the thick tension that had been in the air between them. 

As expected, they all spoke at once.

“About damn time.”

“What are you going to do?” 

“Get it!” 

Emma answered Elsa since she was the only one to actually ask a question. “I think,” she sighed, “I don’t know.”

“Well, what do you want?” Anna asked.

“Killian’s main mast,” Ruby answered with a wolfish grin. 

Mary Margaret tapped on the door before entering, saving Emma from addressing that particular innuendo. A crease formed between Mary Margaret’s brow as she read the energy and auroras in the room. “Oooh, what have I interrupted?” 

“Emma was just telling us what she is going to do about Killian,” Anna relayed. 

Emma caught Elsa’s eyes before they went wide and unfocused, indicating that a vision had taken her from the present into a possible future. No one else seemed to have notice, because they were catching Mary Margaret up on the short conversation she missed.

“So, the question remains,” Mary Margaret said, “are you going to give him the chance?”

Eyes cleared and voice dreamy, Elsa responded, “Oh, Emma, you just have to.” 

Emma studied Elsa, trying to determine what her sister had seen in that vision. Elsa shook her head; she apparently wasn’t going to get any of the answers she was desperate to know. 

“Well, that settles it,” Anna said, as though an actual decision had been reached. Elsa turned back to pouring tea for everyone. Anna jumped up to divide the pie for everyone, sliding plates in front of them and chatting away excitedly about blueberries and pies and a thousand other things. Emma stood a bit dumbfounded at how quickly the topic had been dropped, but her magic thrummed through her as though it agreed with her sisters. She may refuse to believe Elsa without the details of her vision, but going against her magic would be foolish on a level that Emma most decidedly wasn’t.

“Now, for the other situation?” Ruby prompted between bites of pie.

Emma slipped into business mode, her voice matter-of-fact as she relayed the exchange with Neal and Ruby’s tracking efforts from that morning. When she’d finished Mary Margaret frowned, that crease between her eyebrows returning. “Do you think he is back to challenge Killian for his position as vampire overlord?”

“It’s likely,” admitted Emma. It had been her first thought, once she’d been able to rationally think about him materialising beside her last night. Before anyone could suggest it, Emma added, “I don’t want to bring Killian into this until we know that Neal is staying.”

“Emma, you should tell him now,” said Anna. Mary Margaret nodded her agreement.

“He’ll lose his mind,” Emma countered. She had decided, with the not-so-subtle urging of their magic, to welcome Killian back into her heart. She wasn’t sure she was ready to bring Neal up in the same conversation. She deserved that conversation to be a happy one; they both did.

“With good reason,” Ruby said, her eyes heavy with meaning. “He remembers what happened last time.”

“And I’ve forgotten?” Emma snapped back. Her rising temper was suddenly dampened, Mary Margaret’s magic pulsing out to calm the rising emotions in the room. Emma cut her eyes at Mary Margaret, she wanted to be angry. Needed it, right now. Otherwise, she worried she’d give into the fear at the heart of the anger. 

“That isn’t what Ruby meant,” Mary Margaret smoothed. 

“Well, it happened to me. I haven’t forgotten. I am stronger, now. Much stronger,” Emma spit out, holding on tightly to whatever anger she could with the happy spell still pulsing in the air around them. 

“We just want you to be safe. Having the vampires in town watching your back isn’t a bad idea,” Elsa added. 

“I will tell him,” Emma said. As soon as I know Neal is still in town. 

“Good,” Anna nodded. As chatter turned toward Mary Margaret’s upcoming honeymoon, Emma’s thoughts churned with memories better buried. The fear she felt the night Neal had tried to bite her as she fought him off, her telekinesis too weak at seventeen to throw him,  rising to the surface. She couldn’t recall the words he’d threatened her with, but she remembered the whine in his voice as she resisted, scratching and clawing anywhere her hands made purchase. He’d wanted to drain her of her power, to absorb it as he fed from her unwillingly, so that he could overthrow the weakening vampire overlord. 

Fortunately, Ruby returned home early. Her wolf form, even at thirteen, was strong enough to damage a weak vampire. She’d torn him off Emma before returning to tend to Emma’s injuries. Not knowing what to do, Ruby rushed to August’s to see if he could help with the pain radiating from Emma's wrist and forearm. August had become a quasi-guardian of the sisters when their parents died the year before. 

That was the night Killian entered her life - it would be another seven or eight years before he’d become more than a friend of August; two more still before he’d become her Killian. He was at August’s, catching up with his old friend after sailing the world for a few years. When he saw the injuries peppering Emma’s body, he recognised she had fractured her wrist. Without hesitation, he’d extracted his toxin and mixed it into a tonic to help her heal. All the while, he complimented her on her strength and gently teased her to keep her from being swallowed by the helpless fear she’d experienced at the hands of someone who’d said he loved her. 

§§§§    §§§§    §§§§    §§§§

Killian had been many things in his long life; chimney sweep, thief, naval officer, pirate, gentleman, barkeep. While pirate was his most memorable, given that is when he gained the hook in place of a hand on his left side, his most enjoyable was definitely the position he currently held as Storybrooke’s Vampire Overlord. As Emma stormed into his office, sidestepping a flustered Tink’s attempts to block her entrance, he smiled to himself. This was absolutely his favourite occupation. 

“Good morning, Swan.” He flashed a brilliant smile, rising from behind his desk. When she did not take the proffered seat, he leaned against the desk and frowned with concern. His gaze swept over her, a habitual scan for any injuries she may have. He felt a bit of tension release when he found none. Her heart was fluttering wildly; he'd say she was nervous if she were any other woman. But Emma was always steady and collected. He cleared his throat and met her gaze, “How can I be of assistance, Love?”

As head of the Storybrooke Coven, Emma typically received updates on supernatural occurrences before he did - officially. However, Killian prided himself on the effectiveness of his own intelligence gathering. He was rarely uninformed when Emma approached him to help with a particularly tricky situation. As she stormed into his office this morning, he felt a moment of annoyance flash through him when he realised he had no idea what had brought her in this morning. He assumed she’d know about Neal by now. But she’d always been clear that he was not allowed to handle that prick properly, so he doubted that was what brought her before him.

“Fine, okay,” Emma said in a huff. When Killian’s eyes filled with confusion, she added, “I agree. We should, I mean, I am ready to…”

Killian’s eyes lit up as he began to understand what the distractingly beautiful witch standing in front of him was attempting to say. “Swan, would you allow me the honour of taking you for an evening out tomorrow?” 

“How about dinner around eight?” Emma replied with a smile. 

“I am counting down the minutes, Love.” If he didn’t know her better, he may not have caught the light flush in her cheeks or the nervous way she pushed her hair out of her face. If he didn’t know her better, he would not have seen the excitement flash in her eyes before she turned and walked out of his office. If he didn’t know her better, he wouldn’t have fully appreciated what it had taken and what it meant that she had come to his office, to him, this morning. His heart beat wildly in his chest and a broad, silly smile took over his features because he did know her. And she was letting him back into her heart - after a journey far too long, he was being welcomed back home.

Gary Cooper in The Fountainhead (King Vidor, 1949) Cast: Gary Cooper, Patricia Neal, Raymond Massey, Robert Douglas, Kent Smith, Henry Hull, Ray Collins. Screenplay: Ayn Rand, based on her novel. Cinematography: Robert Burks. Art direction: Edward Carrere. Music: Max Steiner. Ayn Rand, proponent of a "philosophy" beloved of 20-year-old frat-boy business majors, is still very much with us, as the would-be Randian Übermensch who recently inhabited the White House too well demonstrates. So it's probably worth brushing up on the ideas that seem to captivate perpetual adolescents and sociopaths. Fortunately, you don't have to slog through her doorstop novels to get the gist: All you have to do is watch The Fountainhead, for which she wrote the screenplay. Its sociopath hero, Howard Roark, would be intolerable if he weren't played by Gary Cooper, taking on a role that is a curious inversion of the "common man" he played for Frank Capra in Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936) or the pawn of the Establishment in Meet John Doe (1941). Cooper's occasional eye twinkles or wry smiles help keep us from believing that he's really the kind of arrogant shit who says things like "I don't give or ask for help" or "The world is perishing from an orgy of self-sacrificing." As Dominique Francon, Patricia Neal does a lot of seething and surging about; it's not a good performance by a long shot, but it's watchable. But Raymond Massey manages to give an almost good performance, even when forced to deliver lines like: "What I want to find in our marriage will remain my own concern. I exact no promises and impose no obligations. Incidentally, since it is of no importance to you, I love you." Was ever woman in this humor wooed? The real saving grace of The Fountainhead, however, is its director, King Vidor, whose career began and flourished in the silent era, with classics like The Big Parade (1925) and The Crowd (1928), which honed his visual sense before he had to work with dialogue. If The Fountainhead had been a silent movie, not cluttered with Rand's dialogue and sermonizing, it might have been a classic itself, especially since it had a first-rate cinematographer in Robert Burks and a clever set designer in Edward Carrere. Max Steiner's overbearing score also helps distract us from the clanking and clattering of Rand's screenplay. The Fountainhead, in short, is a hoot, but a perversely fascinating one.
