Summary: Emma feels trapped in her role as princess and yearns for a life of freedom and adventure. A certain pirate offers her everything she’s ever wanted and more. On AO3.

Rating: M (mentions of sex but no actual smut, could probably be rated T but this is just in case)

Emma managed to escape the chaos of the ball while Grumpy and Sneezy caused a scene, loudly arguing over something petty, no doubt, and putting a damper on the otherwise festive atmosphere. She’d never been more grateful for her honorary uncles’ ill-tempered manners.

Her formal attire was beyond uncomfortable. No matter how many times she’d told her dressmaker to use soft, delicate materials like silk or velvet, the woman seemed to have her heart set on whatever new and exotic and stylish fabrics she could find. (Oftentimes, this backfired, leaving Emma with red rashes from chafing. But luckily, trends tended to be set by royalty so Emma had the benefit of seeing the rest of the court in gowns just as uncomfortable.) The lacy edges itched her skin, the corset was laced a bit on the tight side, and the beaded necklace she wore kept catching on the baby fine hairs on the back of her neck. It was dreadful.

Killian Jones is the biggest male feminist on OUAT reblog if you agree

Summary:  Ex-military officer Killian Jones has never forgiven the Gold family for what they took from him. But when his path searching for justice (and maybe revenge) leads him straight to Emma Swan, a social worker who’s young charge has just been kidnapped by Malcolm Gold, he might just learn to let go of the past.

Emma stormed down the stairs, too angry to wait for the elevator.  How dare he throw Michael’s life into whatever that argument had even been about?  Given a few moments to collect herself, she knew better than to take it at face value – Killian had been lying through his teeth most of the time he’d had his mouth moving.  But it didn’t make the words hurt any less – didn’t make her doubt herself any less.  Killian was right, to an extent.  Emma knew that.  She was out of her element in this world of guns and satellite phones, of mystery and intrigue.  But that didn’t mean Killian could talk down to her like he did.  His pain was no excuse for his callous attitude.

Emma flopped down in one of the chairs in the lounge, throwing the satellite phone down on the table in front of her.  She had no intention of giving up on Michael, but if Killian didn’t want her there, she was just going to have to find another way to track the boy down.  Contrary to what the idiot upstairs thought, Killian’s first priority would always be the bigger picture.  She understood that.  Gold was dangerous, he needed to be stopped.  At all costs.

But Michael couldn’t afford that – Emma wouldn’t let him become an acceptable loss.

The buzzing of the phone on the table interrupted her thoughts and Emma stabbed at the buttons until it was quiet.

Emma kicked at it viciously, realizing the rashness of that move only after her foot connected – her gun was wrapped in a shirt in the main compartment.  

A/N: Part 2 of a birthday fic for @amagicalship​! Carrie, I tried to include some of your favorite things here, like jealous!Killian and wet!Killian. Hope you likes.

Smut ahoy! Also… this chapter got long. My bad.

Catch up on Tumblr: [Chapter 1]          Or read it on AO3

To Take - Women in particular fall into the trap of believing that whatever someone gives you is what you’re going to get, but that simply doesn’t work. Sometimes you have to take what you want. It’s a matter of asserting yourself. Assertiveness helps you land jobs or promotions at the office, and it’s important in the bedroom as well. It involves a healthy sense of entitlement - that you deserve that promotion, that orgasm, to be respected, to be desired…

The sun had barely crested the surrounding mountains when Emma rolled her Beetle to a stop at the end of the dirt drive. This time she fully expected to see her new boss waiting for her on the porch, possibly even indulging in a bit of hair o’ the dog, but instead, all she found was a note tacked to the screen door in a surprisingly tidy, looping script:

Leave your bags in the house. Park around back. Meet me at the barn. -KJ

Straight to the point, but she couldn’t decide if that was reassuring or not.

She retrieved her single duffle bag from her trunk quickly. On her return, she noticed  a carved wooden placard above the lintel, tricked with gold leaf and proclaiming the place to be “The Jewel of the Range” - just as Jones had called it the day before. She wondered about the name. It seemed a bit grandiose for the man she’d met yesterday, like something out of another time, but who the hell knew? She wasn’t about to sit on his knee and ask for the story, even if his gravelly accented voice could make reading the phone book sound alluring. Dammit, Emma. Don’t start that.

Soon it’s my favorite time of year and I want to thank my 153 followers!!!

Killian Jones is fighting a losing battle with his vice and hiding it behind his music persona. Emma Swan is the cop who arrests him for it. But that isn’t the first time the two of them have met. After Emma impulsively offers him her apartment to recover away from the tabloids, it also won’t be the last. For her it’s just giving someone a chance she never had. But can it be more? Read the rest

Emma waited on the stairs until Killian had ordered the Chinese, slowly wiggling her toes beneath the too-long fabric of her borrowed pyjama pants. The softness was comforting. She’d never had someone else’s clothing to borrow. Well, she’d had old ratty stuff she’d gotten at the group homes or the stuff she stole. Always when leaving a place so she wasn’t around to be caught. Disappeared into the system with a pair of too big jeans and a ratty grey beanie. But she’d never had someone willingly give her clothing to comfort her.

And comforted she was. The yellow shirt she wore was ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. Ugly as sin and worn thin enough she could see through the armpit without looking through the arm hole. Emma couldn’t believe Killian still had it. It was so old and ratty, especially compared to the rows of lovely clothes he had in that closet that was practically the size of her own bedroom. It had to be special. Memories that after everything were enough to drown him. Emma hadn’t missed that there were no pictures on his walls. No friends of his old life left other than Eric and his manager who was contractually obliged to stick around. No reminders of his childhood. Yet there was still this t-shirt. And he let her wear it.

Even after everything it warmed her heart through the anxiety.

Broke through the self-hatred for a few moments so she could breathe.

Because she, Emma Swan, was special enough to experience this memory.

“It’s going to be about 45 minutes, lass. Why don’t we go to the couches? They’re far more comfortable,” Killian suggested after hanging up the phone to the local Chinese restaurant. Killian held out a hand for her. The slight shake in it didn’t escape Emma as she took it and allowed him to pull her up. Again, that little spark of warmth flared in her chest. Because even with all Killian’s issues he was pushing them aside to help her.

summary: When Killian shows up on Emma’s doorstep, the last thing she wants is to take him back home to Misthaven and relive memories of their broken relationship, but it’s exactly what she’s about to do. modern royalty au.

catch up here: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven

Henry adores the horses. He won’t stop smiling and it makes Emma feel just a little bit happier seeing him so overjoyed to be witnessing the creatures.

The barn smells like livestock and the natural aromas that provides and Emma wears a pair of boots that she’s never been happier for, especially when she narrowly misses stepping into a pile of crap.

Emma is journeying to bargain with King George of her family’s neighbouring kingdom, when news comes that complicates her plans. The arrival of Killian Jones, childhood friend turned pirate and mercenary, gives her a solution - if she can convince him to take it. Enchanted Forest AU.

Written for the wonderful @seastarved​. Look, it didn’t take me months this time! 

There should be one chapter after this, and then probably an epilogue, but we’ll see how we go.

Having made her announcement, Emma dismissed the council and waited in silence as they filed out of the room. She was initially surprised when Graham followed them, closing the door behind him, but after a moment’s thought she realised that he’d been watching her from more of a distance lately than he usually did. When she was in certain company, anyway. It appeared that her husband was protection enough that he felt comfortable waiting on the other side of the door.

She turned to Killian, who was leaning back in his chair and watching her with that same pleased expression that he wore whenever she addressed her advisors formally. She almost thought it could be admiration, but that couldn’t be right; he himself had been leading people for years. “I know that there are very few instances where I’d be planning my coronation with joy considering I’m succeeding my mother, but I never imagined feeling so ill about it.” Her nerves were making her feel nauseous, true, but that was nothing to how heartsore she was feeling. “Do you think I’m doing the right thing?”

Leaning forward, Killian turned his chair so that he sat directly facing her. “I think that whatever choice you make here can be the right one, as long as it’s handled correctly. You’re doing it for the right reasons, and with the full support of the court, and that’s what matters.”

No, but… have you guys noticed that Killian has the last button (on his vest) undone??? I wonder why…

#captain swan   #killian jones   #emma swan   #cs mafia   #I mean I had't seen anything on my dash about it   #and I'm pretty sure Colin just forgot to button it   #but the possibilities for CS COFFEE TIME???   #can we let that go?   

Summary: When Henry is kidnapped by the Evil Queen, Emma rushes to save him. Along the way, she receives the help of a ship’s captain with a shared past, though she has no idea just how deep that shared past really goes.

Warnings: Kidnapping, language, explicit sexual content

Please check out @swankkat​ (aka @snokone-lady​) and reblog this chapter’s art!

Summary: Emma Swan is struggling as an actress. All seems lost until she manages to swing a spot on Kings and Queens, the most popular Medieval TV Show of all time. But here’s the catch: Emma hates being in love, and acting it is proving more tricky than she first thought. Her whole world is about to change, especially working alongside her new and mysterious co-star Killian Jones. It’s been so long since Emma has opened her heart to anyone. Could she start now?

Rating: T. But there is a chapter later in the fan fiction which blurs the lines a little. Apart from that, no other warnings

PART ONE | PART TWO | PART THREE | PART FOUR | PART FIVE | PART SIX | PART SEVEN | PART EIGHT I PART NINE | PART TEN | PART ELEVEN | PART TWELVE | PART THIRTEEN | PART FOURTEEN

So Kings and Queens has been nominated for the Captain Swan FanFic Awards!! Whoooo!! So thank you for whoever nominated me - I don’t think I stopped smiling for a week. So if you enjoy this, go vote for me! And if you don’t, go vote for someone else! 

Check out the amazing art @lucythemarauder created for this, right HERE. It is brilliant, go check it out!

@katie-dub made this gorgeous edit for my story, which you can see HERE. It’s so brilliant, check it out!

They are thrown back into filming with much vigour. The nights seem longer, the scenes seem more intense and the costumes seem heavier. Emma really should have used her time off to work out and get some more stamina, but it would never have gone to plan. She likes her sweet coffee and doughnuts too much, even though every actress diet plan tells her she shouldn’t.  

One scene is really emotionally draining. It’s with Killian (she just can’t get rid of him) and it’s at three in the morning. Her eyes sting from tiredness, her head aches and she just wants to go home. Killian seems the same. He’s pretty redundant with the teasing comments. He seems to be throwing all of his energy into the performance, with real tears on demand every single time. Emma keeps note of that. Never trust someone who can cry on demand.

“I’m just good at what I do, love,” he tells her when she asks him. “It’s simple really. I just think of a person I don’t want to lose, and imagine losing them, imagine telling them that I can’t be with them.”

*hugs you real tight* would you please send this to the first 10 people in your dash? Make sure someone gets a hug today and stay safe! (づ◕‿◕)づ
