If you've not already been asked, can you please do the scene where Emma's teaching Deckhand!Hook to use his sword ;) One of my fav scene's!
oooh this moment is fantastic!
Deckhand Killian is by far, one of my absolute favourite Killian’s (sorry Lieutenant Jones!)
Look how uncertain and clueless this adorable munchkin is.
And Emma is revelling in it.
She gets to be the one with all the knowledge.
She gets to be the one with years of fighting experience.
She gets to educate the 300 year old pirate in things she’d learnt from him.
This time, Emma gets to tease and flirt and leave him flustered and blushing-
But it’s not for one-uppmanship, it’s done with tenderness.
Killian is practically a clean slate of all the things that make him brave and courageous and such a skilled survivor.
And Emma has the honour of showing him everything he’s about.
She gets to prove just how much she knows him.
THAT LITTLE “oh!” HE SQUEAKS OUT.
I swear, it wouldn’t surprise me if Emma pinched his cute little hiney before sliding her hand to grasp his waist, cos that’s the kind of noise he makes - AND I LOVE IT.
And Killian… dear sweet deckhand.
He probably thinks he’s in a dream. He’s stolen the most cutthroat pirate’s ship with the help of a teenager, broke into a prison, fought a dragon and has currently got the most beautiful woman he’s seen, pressed up against him and teaching him how to sword fight.
It must be so overwhelming for him, yet he handles it like a trooper.
To me, it’s a role reversal if you will.
Emma’s in the position of supporter - she’s holding him up, taking the reins and reeling him in with seduction, showing him how it’s done, leading him - the role that’s typically left for the male in romantic situations.
And Killian is the the one leaning on her. Trusting her, hanging on her every word and losing himself in her sensuality. The role typically meant for the woman.
And while he’s completely smitten and getting lost in her beauty, she’s smiling because she knows the effect she’s having.
It’s a role reversal and it’s absolutely gorgeous.
I just had to put this shot because EMMA IS SLIDING HER ‘SWORD’ INTO HIS ‘SHEATH’
Please take a moment to think of all the sexual innuendo…
She’s telling him all about how close they are, and he’s completely besotted with this magnificent woman who charged into his life.
It doesn’t matter if he’s the cocky teasing pirate, or the brave romantic man of honour, or the shy & almost virginal deckhand, she loves him. However he may come.
It’s a perfect companion piece to the ball scene in 3x21. Where Killian was the one showing her and wooing her, this time she’s showing him and wooing him.
