Has this been done? I couldn’t resist. 

Captain Charming Enchanted Forest AU

When the pirate captain kneels before them, head bent toward the ground, David strains to see the man’s face. Clenching his jaw, the seaman lets untrusting eyes fall upon David. The prince gasps. He knows this dreaded pirate that’s sentenced to death for his crimes. 

He knows him from his earliest memories as a boy, when the pirate’s name wasn’t Captain Hook, but Killian Jones. David remembers days where Killian was just a loyal kitchen lad, who hid away to play with him when the work was done. 

It’s more too. This pirate holds the face of the man who stole David’s first kiss,  the man who taught him the art of physical affection in the quiet, dark shadows of the garden. Under a moon curved like this pirate’s hook, David had learned the gift of intimacy and the courage to say “I love you.” 

David’s father, the king, is about to bellow the man’s death sentence,  one fitting and proper for the crimes committed. And that’s when the prince is overwhelmed by feelings thought to be lost long ago, and makes a small, honest plea. 

“Please give him pardon, father.” Killian’s head shoots up to stare in shock at his first lover. “There’s still light in him.”
