Thanks for the ask darlin!!! And thank you so much!!! I can’t wait for you to have more to read from me either!!!

3. Favorite line/scene you wrote this year.

Oh man... that is TOUGH!! I can’t pick just one!!! I’m just gonna list all my favorites, sorry...

From True Love Song: David’s reaction to Killian being the True Love of his daughter.

From State of Emergency: Henry’s sass at the beginning, Killian choking on his sandwich when he first sees Emma, the explosives going off, and kiss at the end.

From CS Prompts and Drabbles: Neal’s beatdown in ch3, and all of ch5 the State of Emergency Future Glimpse.

From Somewhere Out There: Killian following Cygnus to his Swan, TLK, and Henry waking up.

From Time and Again: all the dreams, but especially killing Walsh, twice... the big reveal (no spoilers), the dolphins, all of chs 9&10.

From Choices, I was especially proud of this exchange: “What if I can’t save him? What if he really is a Lost Boy?”

“Nonsense, Emma,” he assured her. He desperately wanted to take her in his arms and comfort her, but he knew exactly how that would go: an even further fortification of the wall around her heart. The one he’d sworn to take down without manipulation or trickery. “Henry knows that you are here to get him back. That everyone here loves him. He’s not lost. Not by a long shot.”

The sadness tinged with hope in her beautiful green eyes nearly broke his heart. “How do you know?”

“I know because I’m looking at you,” he whispered, staring into her eyes. “As I said earlier, I’ve yet to see you fail. Your love for your son, your determination to get him safely home can be felt all over this island. Why do you think Pan has been visiting you so much?” he continued. “He fears you, Swan. He knows that the only way he’s going to keep Henry is to get you out of the way. Your mother’s heart,” he said, nodding toward where her heart beat, “simply won’t allow that. You’ll get him back. I have no doubt. And probably a lot sooner than you think,” he promised her, trying to pass the assurance he felt in her success on to her.

From Arise, My Love: the actual turning of Emma.

18. Number of WIP’s you currently have.

Two. A Christmas fic that will hopefully drop in the next week or two and the backstory and resolution of Arise, My Love that will be published next summer as part of CSSNS2020.

25. A fic you read this year that you’d recommend everyone read.

How long have you been in the CS/OUAT fandom?

Approximately 3 years

When did you start shipping Captain Swan?

End of season 2

What drew you to this event?

I love reading supernatural CS fics, I just needed a little bit of inspiration and here I am, putting myself out there.

What inspired your topic?

Porphyria. It had long been referred to as the vampire disease. I added some supernatural element to it to make it more interesting, but in the end it all comes down to science. I’m Jurassic Parking it just a bit.

If you would like to share a snippet/sneak peek/summary of your fic or artwork, please use the space below.

The clearing of Robin’s throat tore Killian out of his reverie. He knew he couldn’t avoid his friend’s enquiry so he blurted out the truth.

“Emma is the last remaining descendent of Woodes Rogers,” he confessed solemnly. Robin’s mouth fell open and his arms loosened from their locked position across his chest.

“What the devil is she doing with you then, out in the open like this?” Robin asked with a hushed yell. Killian ran his hand through his already disheveled hair.

“Barnett knows she’s alive. I’ve been charged with ensuring her safety as well as befriending her until we can figure out what he wants with her. As far as we can tell, he doesn’t want her killed. At least not immediately.”

“Fuck,” Robin breathed out.

“Aye,” Killian agreed.

“Well, if friendship is all you’re after, you had better tone down the charm, my friend.” Killian arched his eyebrow in confusion, waiting for his friend to elaborate. Robin shook his head while chuckling, much to Killian’s bemusement. “Sometimes I forget how long you’ve been out of the game, old man.”

“Might I remind you, old man, I’m technically only 32; However, I do remember celebrating your 42nd birthday a few months ago,” Killian countered with a shit-eating grin.

“Be that as it may,” Robin leaned in, “you haven’t had much experience with the fairer sex in nearly 300 years, my friend.” Killian lowered his eyes to study the etchings in the counter top at the thought of his long lost love. “Just be careful,” Robin cautioned. “You have a fragile heart and that lovely young woman just may be the one to fix it or break it.”

Killian gaped at his friend, a retort on the tip of his tongue when he caught a glimpse of her returning from the restroom and it hit him that Robin was right. Emma had awakened something inside of him that he hadn’t felt in a very long time; want. She made him smile, laugh and he even found himself looking forward to today. Even now he was smiling, thinking of all the feelings she brought out of him in such a short time that he thought were long dead and buried. For the first time in centuries, Killian Jones wanted to live.

What are you looking forward to most about participating in this event?

Revealing the big secret! Just what does Jonathan Barnett (you can picture him as Gold) want with Emma and could it possibly have something to do with Killian?

I am!! I don’t think I changed the channel for the first year and a half I worked at the hotel. I also love to torture myself with the one about why planes crash. I think it was after I watched the same tornado story for the third time that I started branching away more often. I absolutely love the programming, though. I feel like if I was a different person, I would be a weather person. Maybe a meteorologist, maybe something connected. Either way, I always know that if all other channels fail me, the weather station will always be there!

Also, I super miss slipping out of my shoes and delivering receipts. But I don’t miss actually delivering the receipts! 

I had no issue with it. Hook used to be a villain. Villains do horrible things. I made this post right after the episode aired, and I still feel that in Hook’s mind, killing Robert was a necessary evil. (I also think the gold he stole that night was most likely some of the treasure he alluded to in 6x17 when he was facing off with the lost boys, but I digress...)

What I wish would have happened, instead of August giving Killian the pages and Killian discovering the truth, is for August to keep the pages. Maybe even have the pages show Hook killing Robert, but August choosing to destroy them because he knew Killian had changed and felt he owed it to Emma to give them the peace of a Happy Ending without that looming over them. 

@hollyethecurious, you are spectacular and I will never not read something of yours. You just have a way of scarring the living daylights out of us before giving us a beautiful ending. Me thinks you may have a bit of a sadistic side to your personality and I think I speak for most of us... we love and crave it ��

This was beautiful!
