ANYWAY- we’re supposed to believe Emma is terrified and frightened of WHook and what he planned to do....... yet she lets him stay there completely free? With Regina? And her son? And her daughter in law and granddaughter? And actually TELLS WHook ‘hey look out for Henry’? This supposed evil disgusting rapist Emma didn’t bother to send Hook or her father back to bring his ass back to SB so they could arrest him and lock him up, she’s gonna let him hang around with three female members of her family including her granddaughter and her son? Even ignore that- she’s gonna let him run around being all supposedly rapey with ANYONE??? Not to mention Snowing AND CS both had the guys kiss the girls without consent to try to break a curse (and Hook and Emma weren’t even together at the time. It was legit a guy kissing a girl full on the lips without her consent or permission. But I’m supposed to believe WHook is the devil incarnate for wanting to do the same thing so he can be close to his daughter?)

Bonus:

Wish Hook: I’m too old for this dumb shit, we’re going on a simulated adventure instead

Henry: HAH YOU THOUGHT

This was a complicated one to choose. Originally, I was going to use Killian’s line from 7X07 about having something more important than revenge to attend to, but then it ended up becoming my favorite Enchanted Forest scene.

So, I ended up choosing another, one that, once again, struck me in a cool way.

“Alice...is it really you?”

Now, this line is an odd choice. I’ll be the first to admit it.

For me, it touches upon two things, one obvious and one a bit more subtle.

Let’s get the obvious one out of the way: Killian ‘Papa’ Jones is straight up fucking elated! He hasn’t seen his darling Alice is years! And here she is! She’s smiling and standing tall and is FREE OF THAT FUCKING TOWER! It’s a damn dream come true!

The second thing this line tackles is something I’ve never seen mentioned before, and that’s wariness.

Killian’s been deceived by appearances before. The last time he was greeted by what he thought was a friendly face...well, she was an itch of a bitch of a witch, to say the least. And if Gothel felt the need to be meddlesome and separate them once, she’d definitely do it again if given the chance.

Going even further back, we have Zelena who disguised herself as both Marian and - more personally to him - Ariel as well Rumple at the start of their rivalry when he was disguised as an old geezer.

Seeing Alice again, and out in the open and with the slightest bit of a smile...it’s almost too good to be true.

More than anything in the world, Killian wants to believe that this is the real deal and that this is his daughter standing in front of him...but he just wants to be sure before he fully opens her heart.

Thankfully, all Alice needs to do is to say yes for her Papa to she the truth. He knows his baby girl. He knows her voice, her smile, her face.

 The delight on Killian’s face afterwards is just so beautiful! Papa Killian is so fucking heartwarming I could probably cook a frozen pizza on my chest!

For him, it’s the ultimate form of catharsis, and while it only takes a brief moment, so much is said in it.

on the other hand, any version of killian jones singing to an infant slays me

I will be writing a CS 2.0 (WHook and an Alternate version of Emma) story sometime in the future (I may have actually started it) if you do not go for that sort of thing and wish to be taken off of my tag list please let me know.
