I felt inspired by
the Neverland Renaissance and this just kind of…happened. A canon divergence
that loops back around eventually, takes place during Think Lovely Thoughts
just before the walk to Pan’s camp when all the Nevengers come back together
for the final plan.~~~~~~~~~~
“As wonderful as the assurance we are able to get off this
cursed island is,” Killian looked at the grim faces of the assembled group. “I
think we are overlooking the very important detail that it won’t do us a bloody
bit of good if Pan kills the lot of us.”It had been an exhausting day so far, full of near death
experiences and long treks through sweaty, dense jungle, but the day was far
from over, and Pan was still a very dangerous foe. A foe they desperately
needed to reign in if they had even a hope of getting home.“We have a plan,” Neal glared at him from his perch on a
fallen log. “Or were you too distracted
during that whole conversation to hear it?”Emma shifted uncomfortably, eyes trained on the ground, arms
crossed defensively across her chest.The tension in the clearing was almost unbearable, coming at
them from almost all sides: a general animosity between Hook and Neal, a chilly
silence between David and Mary Margaret, something mysterious and unspoken
between Hook and Tinker Bell that in turn caused something unnamable to flare
up in Emma’s chest whenever they so much as stood near each other, and then
there was the ever present strain between Hook and herself, stretched taut
between them and ready to snap.“I merely meant to remind you, mate,” Killian bit out
through clenched teeth. “That Pan will be anticipating your previously employed
method of neutralization. Especially considering, you’ve used it every time you’ve faced him so far.”“What are you suggesting Hook?” Tink asked giving the pirate
a surveying look. She had a feeling she knew exactly where this was going, and
she didn’t like it. “It better not be what I think you are suggesting.”
Killian practically grinned, bowing a little in her direction.“Unfortunately milady, that is exactly what I’m suggesting,”
he raised an eyebrow at her. “Unless there are any objections of course.”
