Support Captain Swan

A little belated birthday gift for @effulgentcolors, as our conversations about wishing for more support for Killian have kinda sparked this.

Never thought I’d see one of those.

It’s called a baby.

No, Swan. A smile.

A smile.

Nothing makes Killian Jones’s heart soar more than seeing Emma Swan smile, indeed a very rare occasion, so he should really be happy, and he is. Yet…

His own lips pull briefly into a smile, but it’s one of those melancholic ones that are dominated by the sadness in his eyes.

It’s a really heartwarming scenario, and it does warm his heart, to see this family united that has gone through so much, lost each other so many times. But in the end, they always find each other… save each other. It’s almost like the strong bond they share ties them together in a way that makes it physically impossible for any force, magical or not, to separate them permanently. These people… deep down in his heavy, heavy heart he knows he cares about them, all of them, even if he keeps telling himself that what bound him to this latest quest was just a temporary alliance. Of course it was not. And Emma Swan… he loves her, there’s no use in denying that, he’s even said it out loud. He hasn’t given up hope yet that she might change her mind about going back to New York with her lad, even if the odds don’t seem to be in his favor. Even though she’s very adamant about it being the best choice, he has a feeling that she might be trying a little too hard to convince herself that it’s for the best… or is that just wishful thinking on his part?
