Hook: They're bad influences.

Peter: Takes one to know one.

Hook: I am a great influence on you.

Peter sarcastic: Yeah, like that time you threw a book out the window in a rage and had to buy a new window.

Hook: That's different! You don't know the stress of adult life.

Peter: I'm looking at the embodiment of stress right now, he doesn't seem too grown up.

Zarina: Do you ever think we're bad parents?

Hook: ...No.

Zarina: But what if-

Hook: Zarina I have a hangover and I don't need to deal with this right now, I'm still coming to terms with waking up on your couch for the filth time.

Zarina: Oh right...do you wanna talk about that? You know drunkenly asking me to take you back four times and one time proposing on the spot because you were too drunk to remember who I was.

Hook: That didn't happen.

Zarina: It did.

Hook: it didn't.

Zarina: Makes sense....how?

Hook: I Would like to remind you my head feels like a truck hit it please refrain from questions.

Zarina: ...Kind of ironic considering your stage name huh?

My brain won’t let it go so I’m gonna get this out real quick: never again au the movie

Peter feels unloved and rebellious which puts him in the sigh of a gang group called the lost boys. The lost boys are a gang who work under their leader known as Blackbeard who runs the underground group which he calls Nederland. Black beard sees Peters raw talent as a new tool that he could use and has the lost boys convince him to run away and join them. Cue hook and zarina trying to together as they piece together clues about their son and the life they didn’t know he’s been leading. The two are on a mission to find their lost son and bring him home. Tinkerbells faries can be a honor society for achieving young women, the neverland gangs can be the mermaids/the pirates/the Indians/the lost boys and black beard can be the main villain. Phew, thanks for letting me get that out

Oooooh! Nice ideas! I think I will steal the lost boy gang idea of you don't mind of course (and if the au haunts my Brian enough to draw it again)

I can totally see suburban au (what I call it but the never again au is a good name) Hook being like "Those grubby orphans are bad influences on you boy." And Peter being all "Why should I care about what you think? You're never here codfish."

Then that Convo secretly sticking in his brain as he stares off into space while Zarina yells at him for not keeping closer tabs on Peter before they team up and find him.

And yes the honor society for high achievers... brilliant will probably steal that tooo.

I'm not super jazzed about bringing blackbeard into the story... except as Hooks dad because that is a piece of fan art I made once you are reminding me of but I feel like he should have a different name... blackbeard just doesn't really work as the name of a guy who isn't a pirate. Fun idea tho!

As for the mermaids and a indians idk where to put them in most aus so I just kinda ignore them most of the time. Don't get me wrong Tiger lily is girllboss and the mermaids are funny as hell and petty with cool designs, I just don't find them as interesting as they could be writing wise...

unless I'm bringing the Athena(Ariel's mom) x Captain Hook crack ship into this but that's...that's a whole ass other conversation. This post is so loooong thank you for your ask!

Suburban Hookdust au thingy where Hook and Zarina are a divorced couple who can't seem to stop being an on again off again couple.

Hook made Zarina look bad so he got everything in the divorce, but unfortunately for him that also meant he got custody of Peter. He pays Tinkerbell to babysit so he doesn't have to be present in peters life.

Zarina meets James after running away from home and he steals her car shortly after dating her starting a long and ridiculous petty back and forth.

Hook is a struggling musician, Zarina is a successful Chemist, Tinkerbell is an engineer.

She was punk he was a prep can I make it anymore obvious?

They meet at the same bus stop every week and share passive aggressive comments.

A lovers to enemies to it's complicated.

I have so many questions about the au is you don’t mind:

How old is Peter? How did hook meet tinkerbell, did zarina ask her to watch Peter because she trusted her? What kind of relationship does Peter have with hook or for that matter zarina? Do they ever go in hate dates or have hate hookups (pun not intended)?

I think this au is really cool and am a sucker for Peter Pan stuff, this blog is quickly becoming my favorite. Please go into as much detail as you feel comfortable!

Oooooh fun!

Peter is eleven

Hook met Tinkerbell after posting an add for babysitters and Tinkerbell heard about Peter from Zarina.

Zarina didn't ask her but Tinkerbell figured it was the right thing to do since from what she's seen of Hook, Peter needs somebody looking out for him.

Peter and Hook have a strained relationship, Hook didn't want Peter (he only got custody of Peter slandering Zarina in the courtroom for the sake of getting more in the divorce) Peter still has fun calling Hook "Codfish" and basically never calls him dad, at best he's getting is a first name basis. Peter is still a rebellious lil guy but he doesn't start being happy until Tinkerbell enters and actually tries to form a connection. They have moments, Hook is trying he's just VERY stubborn and has a short fuse which is not a good combo for a parent. Hence why Tinkerbell does most of the parenting.

Zarina has some lingering guilt Peter has to live with Hook but beyond that they don't really talk and Peter knows he wasn't exactly planned so doesn't really believe Zarina feels anything for him at all. He views Tinkerbell as his mom more than Zarina. Zarina always focused more on her work than Peter (not intentionally but as a result they never really formed a solid relationship foundation and don't know how to feel about each other)

I'd say the suburban au Hookdust relationship does have hate dates although they look at it more as "catching up" or "making sure they're not planning anything" or "discussing child support" and nine times out of ten they end up getting drunk reminiscing about the past and flirting.

... maybe? Haven't really thought about it. They definitely kiss tho now that you ask they probably do on rare occasions, but I'd imagine afterwards they keep that shit under lock and key. It takes a while for anyone beyond them to realize because even they are very keen on not bringing it up ever.

And as for Hook and Tinkerbells relationship it is super super professional on Hooks end, very very awkward on Tikerbells end. He still calls her "Miss bell" and tries his best to be polite but he's not sure how to really deal with Tinkerbells sass and jabbing at his obvious shitty parenting. Tinkerbell regularly sarcastically asks him about the stick up his ass and is very frustrated at Hooks old man not understanding kids are people-ness.
