Dry as a Bone - a CS New Year Fanfic

Happy New Year everyone!

Silly little new year fic below, randomly inspired by work-related research I was doing.

1789 words.

At the strike of midnight the new year begins and Emma has a challenge proposal for Killian.

Available on: AO3 FFN

Snippet below:

Dry as a Bone

“Three!”

“Two!”

“One!”

“Happy New Year!”

Cries rippled out throughout Granny’s where the residents of Storybrooke had all gathered to see in the new year together. Despite the place being packed, Killian’s attention was fixed solely on one person; the very woman whose green eyes were locked with his blue ones. He hooked her red leather jacket in well-rehearsed fashion, taking care so not to cause any damage, and pulled her in close. His right hand cupped her face, her skin warm against his touch, as her own hands wrapped around his neck and pulled him into a kiss.

Start every year as you wish to end it; together. It had yet to fail them. Curses, fairies and evil had yet to break the magic of a simple new year tradition.

Dry as a Bone

It hasn’t rained in forever,

October as dry as a bone,

the first time it’s ever been never,

it hasn’t rained in forever

as if someone switched off the lever

that makes the rain leave us alone;

it hasn’t rained in forever,

October as dry as a bone.

-GeorgeFilip

A great stone monster with wide-spread wings stood with its mouth open and you could still see a bit of piping in the back of its mouth, out of which the water used to pour. Under it was a wide stone basin to hold the water; but it was as dry as a bone.

Mushroom Kingdom pop quiz - Wrong Answers only!

Back when I was at school, certain multiple choice questions got a kick out of me. Thus, the idea is to basically take the concept of finding humour in the wrong choices and making it into something amusing.

Initially, I only did the third one, the Wario, Mario, and Waluigi one, but when I noticed that the source has four more questions, and each of them has potential for a funny outcome, I decided to expand the idea into something more.

I hope this makes your day! It was a lot of effort to make it look as authentic as possible.

Thank you for reading.

I apologize at how long it took for this update to come out.

Things happened and I’ll leave it at that.

I also posted everything (except one comic) to TikTok! So there’s that too!

I will try to aim for my original schedule of an update every couple of days. If I don’t keep my word, I have failed.

I am also not apologizing for killing Cooper off. He was fated to perish the day he tossed the penguin 🤭.

Guess what I saw during the weekend and had to draw as soon as I got home? It's a fun movie and do recommend! Would watch again! 

Also, I've been a Bowuigi fan for years, but never got the motivation to draw them...UNTIL NOW.

Find the Words Tag Game

Tagged By: @laianely - thank you! Rules: Find the words in all your current WIPs and post a snippet containing the words, then tag others with their own words. My Words: Lips, anger, confusion

I stuck to just three WIPs - The Huntsman (snippets in here from across lots of future chapters), A Hell of A Ride (which is a CS fic, despite what the passage below may suggest) and a follow up to Dry as a Bone (which I had no intention of following up until inspiration hit at 1am last night, leading to a few hundred words getting thrown together).

Lips The Huntsman (Hit the jackpot here.) Her lips parted slightly, as if encouraging him, inviting him. They looked so soft, so red, so warm; his thoughts wondered - as they often had in his younger days, hours spent staring at that photograph - to how her lips would feel against his. His heart threatened to explode out of his chest; he had waited for the nearing moment for so long.

He waited no longer. His lips crashed passionately against hers, simultaneously sending electricity coursing through his veins. He allowed himself to get lost in her mouth, the faint taste of cinnamon unfamiliarly sweet, fuelling his craving for her. His heart danced in his chest; her body pressed against his the way their lips clung together, her hand brushing against his jaw as she reached for his hair the same way her tongue brushed against his lips as their kiss deepened, grew more demanding, more desperate for the moment to last.

A Hell of a Ride The elevator was taking too long. The foyer was empty. She pulled him in for a quick kiss, a taste of what was to come. The elevator pinged the very moment of their lips meeting and she stepped back, smiling seductively at Neal; there was a lot more where that came from. She grabbed his jacket, pulling him into the empty elevator with her. The doors shut and he was on her in a flash, his hands cupping her face as they carried on where they’d left off, deepening and exploring their connection.

The elevator pinged.

“That was fast,” Emma murmured against his lips.

The elevator ride was never that smooth, let alone that fast.

Dry as a Bone follow-up “Today is the last day of January,” he filled her in.

Halle-bloody-lujah.

It had been a long, long month but he had made it to the end. Almost. Just sixteen more hours to go – not that he was on a countdown or anything. He could already taste the sweet, home comforts of rum on his parched lips. A few more hours forgoing his burning cravings and he would stand victorious.

Anger The Huntsman “Killian,” Liam’s voice was softer, desperate, barely more than a whisper. “Please, please, just come to the jeep with me now.”

Killian squeezed his eyes shut. He wanted to. He wanted so badly to go to the jeep, to leave the unnatural stronghold behind them but the more he thought about his father, the more the anger rose up inside him. His dad would never leave him, he knew that for sure, just as he also knew Liam would never let them leave their father behind. It meant only one thing; Silver had taken him from them.

Confusion The Huntsman (Double whammy here with two of the three words. Very short snippet because… spoilers!) “You’re not going to shoot me, Killian,” the Hatter sounded bored. “I know you.”

Any anger which had melted away in his confusion soared back through his veins. His grip tightened around the gun, preparing himself for the recoil, and he fired.

With the release of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon HD, I decided to post some screen shots of Luigi from the Super Mario Bros Movie.

He's just such a lovable dork, and Charlie Day was a perfect casting choice for him.
