@businesscasualprincess ilu for this prompt hahaha!

He winces every time the plastic crunches under his feet, shooting a dirty look behind him as he hears Liam’s failed attempts at muffling his laughter.

“Don’t you dare, this is all your fault. You and your stupid small feet.”

“It’s my fault that you couldn’t steal my shoes after you dropped yours in the river?”

“Shut up.”

“I thought so.”

The walk back to their car seems to take forever, Killian’s feet soaking the label of the bottle that keeps his feet strapped to the flattened plastic that Liam had fashioned into what can only be described as land flippers.

(“I watched a video where they did this. Trust me, it’ll work. Unless of course, you’d rather have splinters and whatever wanders the foots of these trees have at you.”)

Killian Jones isn’t a clumsy man. He could produce at least 5 and a half people who would support him on his claims of being positively graceful in fact. He had just fallen victim to an unfortunate accident. And a vindictive older brother.

They had been sitting at the top of the sloping bank of the river, their feet in the water as the water rushed past, passing a flask between them as they rested in the middle of their hike, shoes thrown haphazardly beside them. His gaze had been lazily flickering through the trees on the other bank of the river, occasionally catching a fleeing deer or a rabbit scampering across the forest floor. 

He had just taken the flask from Liam when a sharp rustling of trees had caught his attention, a little left of where he had been watching. He had turned to see what was happening when suddenly there was another noise, a quick squawk  and a few birds escaping the foliage followed rapidly by--

“Damn it!”

Her voice had carried loud and clear all the way to his ears, a small smile dangling at the edge of his mouth as he took a swig of his rum, watching as the disgruntled bird watcher emerged from the shadow of the trees. A tangle of blonde hair followed quickly by a small camera held loosely in her hand. She was facing away from him, speaking to another woman who followed her out of the tree-line. He could hear her but could no longer make out what she was saying, her voice flustered as he passed the flask back to Liam who shared his amused smile at the little commotion by the river.

“I didn’t even want to come here--”

The blonde woman’s voice carried over the river once more as she handed her camera roughly to her friend, turning around to look at the river.

And that was when it happened.

She had her arms folded across her chest as she listened to her friend trying to say something to her, her eyes scanning the skies with a frown settled deeply between her brows. She was a few hundred metres away from him and it had been a good decade since he had heard her voice and though it had rung a tiny little bell in his mind when she had first spoken, it was only when she had turned around that Killian had known.

Emma Swan here, in the woods behind his house. Emma Swan standing right there. Emma Swan’s frown getting deeper as she catches his slack-jawed gaze.

Bloody Hell

He could have sworn she had mouthed his name but that was when he had leaned forward, unknowingly trying to get a closer look at the woman who had shared a room with him at his foster home before Liam had found him. He leaned a little bit too far and slipped. His hand reached to his right to hold on to something as he slid down toward the river, finding only his shoes, which he had promptly pushed into the water before a laughing Liam had pulled him back up.

And now, here he was. Wearing plastic bottle flippers, walking in a direction quite opposite to Emma and cursing his failed sense of balance. She had been gone when he’d finally gotten himself standing and now, he was wearing flippers and no closer to finding the girl he’d fallen in love with when he was 15.

His thoughts wander to her, as they are wont to do on most days. Her smile, her hair in the sun, her touch steadying him as he woke from another nightmare, her tears on his shirt when he had left her.

How could he have been so stupid? He’s been looking for her for years and had never found a phone number or an address or anything and then she was here, so close that he could have reached her in a few dozen steps and then he had just--

A rustle in the trees breaks up the constant crunching of the plastic beneath his feet and he looks up on instinct trying to find the source of the noise. The trees part to his right and he thinks he’s dreaming.

Because there she is, her breaths shallow as she looks him up and down--

“Killian?”

His eyes widen and he lets out a laugh that is at least a third of the way to a sob before stepping forward--

“Emma!”

His feet make the loudest noise he has ever heard and her eyes fall quickly from his face to his “shoes” and her lips curve into a laugh that he hasn’t heard in years.

“What the hell is on your feet?”

businesscasualprincess replied to your post: My constant demi mood is “crap do I have a crush...

I believe a ‘platonic crush’ is commonly known as a 'squish’ which, I think, is just the most adorable term for 'really really wanting to be excellent friends with someone’.

It is adorable ^^;; also, like crush, it is completely impossible to talk to the object of said squish about unless they understand what it means and/or reciprocate! HOORAY FOR ALL KINDS OF RIDICULOUS EMOTIONAL CONFUSION

Oh my WORD!!!!! HOWLING LAUGHTER!!!!

If you’ve got it...

Just a little something inspired by the *ahem* rather revealing photos I might have accidentally seen in a google image search for Bernard Curry…

PG-13 for cursing and imagined naked man-butt.

Liam Jones, former Captain in the King’s Navy, respectable hero, and idol to his little brother Killian, was definitely NOT a morning person. Coffee was one of the many perks of being an Officer and Liam had come to rely on it for optimal functionality. Actually, for ANY functionality, if he were to be honest.

It was the scent of that coveted beverage that drew him into the kitchen his first morning staying in Emma and Killian’s house. He stumbled in with a yawn and an attempted ‘Good Morning’ wave at his little brother and the lovely lady of the house who were at the small table eating breakfast.

“Bloody hell! LIAM!” he was jolted from his stupor as he fumbled for a coffee mug by a piercing shout from Killian, “Go put on some bloody fucking trousers! Nobody wants to see that at breakfast!”

Liam rubbed his eyes trying to focus on his own lower half where Killian was pointing. It perplexed him for a moment why Killian would care that he’d wandered into the room naked. They’d both spent so much time aboard ships and in close quarters that modesty was usually barely even an afterthought…

Emma shifted in her seat to turn in the direction Killian was pointing. Ohhh that’s probably why. She gave Liam’s nude form a quick glance, then calmly turned back to reading her cereal box.

“Actually,” she deadpanned with barely a glance at Killian, “I don’t mind at all.”

“SWAN!” Killian’s plea was shocked and scandalized and nearly a full octave above the usual register of his voice. Liam couldn’t see her face, but the light shuddering in her shoulders betrayed the laughter she was attempting to keep bottled up.

He finished pouring his coffee, much more awake now than he had been when he’d entered the kitchen, and made sure to hold out a hand for a high five as he passed Emma on the way back to his room. Emma gave him a spirited smile as their hands connected.

“Never let this one go, little brother,” Liam gave a faux-stern look at Killian, “she’s definitely good for you.”

@killians-tinkabelle is the worst kind of enabler…

Also they sorta beat us over the head in 7x2 that magic in that realm works just slightly differently, so… it’s retcon, but it checks out.

Yes, I can buy that.  

I think this is actually a perfect example of how your mood can effect your viewing experience.   Usually I’m that obnoxious person on the other side trying to explain how all the pieces actually fit if you just squint and assume a, b , and c and blah blah blah.

But I’ve had the flu all week and I’m tired and feverish and I spent the whole episode kinda just like.... le sigh.

businesscasualprincess replied to your post “any suggestions for spirits and traditions during the cs halloweek?”

Rum and late night ghost stories? That hits two kinds of spirits!

Killian Jones is cursed by the blind witch, trapped in a rum bottle that gets forgotten in a shelve until Emma Swan finds it 300 years later...

ohhhhh ficlet idea!

businesscasualprincess replied to your post “Hi alll! I hope you’re having a nice day today! I wanna hear all about...”

I finally, after years of searching, found a reasonably simmilar pair of plaid pants (not quite right, but close enough) that I can now cosplay Emma's NYCS plaid pants and red peacoat outfit!

YAASS! Pls share photos if you want because that is excellent!

Also, this is only semi-related but like I recently bought pants prom the men’s section and OMG? They’re AMAZING? with GIANT pockets? Like I had to get a bigger size because hips are a thing that men’s pants don’t really have room for but a belt fixed the waist super well and I was just so delighted with my gingham Man Pants.

Can’t REALLY see them in this but here it is anyway :D

As someone who HAS seen it and is a big giant NOPE on r8ylo, it is a nail biter, but you have nothing to worry about. I can provide more detail about why you don’t have to worry if you like, but trust me. It’s all going to be okay.

I contacted someone when it came out and they said it’d be fine but then I got on tumblr and well. . . it did the tumblr thang it does so well . . .  and I got nervous all over again LOL
