out of the first four captain swan kisses...

the first was willing

the second was with one party not giving consent and subsequently leading to the other party getting kicked in the balls

the third was with one of the parties unconcious

and the fourth was not with the actual person, but with a past version of one of the parties

The funniest joke in all of Once Upon a Time is when Killian says that one day, he's going to stop chasing Emma.

In The Lonely Hour (9/10)

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | AO3 | 10

Summary: A collection of canon-compliant(ish) one-shots that provide glimpses of Killian's life based on the album "In the Lonely Hour" by Sam Smith.

Like I Can Our captain is jealous of the only person who could make him feel threatened.

Tagging: @kmomof4

Notes:

I should have been writing my CSSNS fic. But, erm, here we are. I hope that the confusion of which he is the he is as fun and disorienting as intended (rather than being a confusing slog that is not enjoyable to read).

Killian thought this was an acceptable plan until Emma had loosened the ties of her borrowed dress and put her bosom on offer for the captain holding court on the other side of the tavern. The smile on her lips as she turned to face the man he once was had been so full of mischievous intent and want, that Killian burned with a feeling he hadn’t encountered before now. When she exaggerated the sway of her hips as she approached the captain and his crew, Killian’s jaw muscle jumped as anger joined the unfamiliar emotion. 

Jealousy, Emma had teased.

He stormed out of the tavern as his former self raked his eyes slowly over Emma’s seductive form. He had to focus on his part of the plan; getting to his ship and ensuring that Snow could not leave before her love story with David was back on track. Why had she been so excited about keeping the other captain so busy?

She was still keeping him at arm’s length, but the version of him from this time she welcomed without a moment’s hesitation. He knew that it was the lack of expectations, the absence of meaning in the flirtation between them that appealed to her. But, it felt as though she would always choose the alternative that kept the most distance between them. Killian was the safe harbour she returned to when she needed respite; but, the moment things dipped below the shallows, she took off anywhere to be away from him. Except this time, the distraction she’d set her sights on was him.

His boots fell heavy on the deck of the Jolly Roger as Smee scurried away to bring Snow aboard. He knew he had to get to his cabin before his meeting with the young royal, but he still took a moment to enjoy the feel of his ship and his home under him. He missed the feeling of the ocean moving beneath him, the creaks of the familiar boards, the soft wood of the wheel in his hand, and, of course, his bed. He wouldn’t change his decision to trade her for the bean that brought him to Swan, but he did yearn for the comfort of his bedroom a time or two since he traded away his home. 

When he stepped off the ladder to his quarters, he was hit by a fresh wave of emotion as he took in the items from his travels that he would never see again. Most of them nothing more than trinkets, but he knew the importance of many of them to the captain currently courting Swan. They were pieces of the victories and the adventures he shared with Milah; ever-present reminders of the only thing that mattered in his life- revenge. Another reason the captain she was flirting and drinking with as he waited for Snow to arrive was more dangerous than Emma suspected. 

After his meeting with Snow concluded, he decided to finish the remainder of his rum before returning to the tavern. He wasn’t sure he was ready to see Swan cosied up to, well, him without actually being able to enjoy the warm of her against him. If any version of him was to get to hold her close tonight, he would rather it was this him when they found a place to rest for the night. 

Heavy boots fell on the deck above him, a sound similar to when he’d arrived on the ship. No, the exact same sound. He is back on my ship, his ship? 

Emma was suddenly there, face flushed, and flustered to find him in the cabin. She had come back to my ship with him? He didn’t have time to deal with the emotion that flared at that realisation before he was hiding from him as he followed her down the ladder.  

Emma pulled him, the wrong him, close. She kissed him hungrily. He was holding her close, kissing her greedily back. She leaned into the kiss, he pressed back and stumbled drunkenly. That ugly feeling was back and before he knew what he was doing, he punched that awful prick as hard as he could in his face. 

Looking at his unconscious foe on the floor of his cabin, Killian registered just how bloody strange this entire situation had been. His knuckles smarted, but he felt an odd sense of pleasure knowing his past self wouldn’t get to know his Swan any better tonight.

Notes:

Chapter 10 will not be "Good Thing" from the album. To allow us the smallest reward for reading this angsty story, I will be using "Latch" from the Deluxe Edition to allow us to end on a happy note. :)

OUAT Rewatch 3x21 - Snow Drifts

I don’t see my family here. I see fairy tales. I see stories of princes and princesses. It--it’s not me. I was never a part of any of this.
