Oh my goodness!!! This story is simply the perfect thing to read for this time of year - full of Autumn and magic and love and danger, adorable Henry and young Jones twins as well! I love that Liam is alive and well in this, happily married with a family, I love Ingrid as Liam and Killian's aunt (and Emma's landlady) and I just love the whole Practical Magic vibe of it as well, even as it is very much its own thing too. It's also a four part story, so you get more time to really sink into the goodness, totally fall for it, and savor every last little bit!!! @belovedcreation wrote this last year, and having recently re-read it, I just had to sing its praises over again!

Definitely go read this one if you haven't yet (or even if you have!) It is not to be missed!

This one shot Autumn Bingo fic by @belovedcreation just swept me up in its adventure and then its healing, bonding and romance so completely. I know that I'm going to be returning to re-read it MANY times, and that so many good stories have been posting lately that people might have missed it - which would be a real crime! And this is coming from someone who genuinely CANNOT HANDLE zombies, about a story that it "zombie-adjacent", so that should tell you just how irresistible it is. ;p

There is some wonderful Swan Believer in this, with Emma and Herny surviving alone in dangerous new surroundings. And heroic Hook who brings them the title's "safe passage" and some really beautiful trust and sharing (and of course chemistry) between our captain and our heroine.

I kept thinking about it, and so I attempted some cover art for it as well. I hope you'll like it @belovedcreation!!! I'm so glad you shared this story with us! ;)

"Safe Passage" by: @belovedcreation

This three part fic is really wonderful and beautiful - by turns steamy and angsty, painful and healing. I love the way we see Killian's loves and losses in such detail. What those he loved before and along with Emma mean to him, and the part they all have in him becoming the man he is, and then seeing what he and Emma come to mean to each other in this AU version of their meeting, makes the whole love story all that much more deeply felt. I like Emma also being a pirate captain in this, and it's interesting to see her interacting comfortably in that world. I also really like the way it's set up - even indicated in the separate parts' titles - as different courses of a decadent meal. It really is quite a rich and rewarding treat to savor as you read.

@belovedcreation has been writing and posting some amazing MCs for ages now, but this three shot might have slid under the radar. If you haven't read it yet, you should check it out for sure!

I absolutely love this modern AU CS tale by @belovedcreation! You might have heard me mention before (probably a lot ;p) that I can't resist Killian as a professor in AUs, and this story has that. I loved seeing him as a student of literature, as well as seeing him interact with a college-bound Henry and his lovely mother! ;) This was fun, with some feels as well, but definitely a happy ending. You really should go and read it for yourself!

(I also attempted some cover art for it - hope you like it @belovedcreation!)
