Hi! I just finished reading the first two chapters of Beastly and I wanted to send you a little message on here two because OMG! I LOVED your setup, I cried with Emma’s backstory, poor duckling has had such a rough life :((( but I loved that you gave her David as her actual brother and that at least she wasn’t completely alone all those years, and I of course loved Killian’s backstory, damn that Brennan tho, I hate that he made Killian feel like he was only his good looks… Anyway (1/2)

(Part 2) I can’t wait to see what’s next and I would just like to ask if my suspicion that Emma has magic and that’s what caused all her panic attacks since she was little might be true? And if it is, poor baby girl has had to repress that part of herself all her life thus adding to her suffering… I hope she releases all that repression when she kicks Gold’s ass tho haha.

Eeee!!! Thank you so much for your kind words! I knew that giving David as her actual brother would be a change, but had to show that just because she had a brother doesn’t mean it was all sunshine and roses, which I’m glad that you all are able to see. Brennan is also a piece of work, and you’ve only seen a small portion!

That’s a cool suspicion, but the only magic here is from Gold, unfortunately. Her panic attacks are caused when someone grabs her left arm (PTSD from when the man broke it when she was younger) and/or when she’s overly upset because she bottles her feelings in.

I hope she can release it, too. Maybe there’s someone out there that will help her. ;-p

Thanks again for the awesome words!

Well that definitely makes a lot of sense and also my heart is breaking all over again for my little cygnet 😥 and yep, definitely you have crafted it so well that even when you have a good support system life can fuck you up either way, poor Emma has suffered so much and even if her background is slightly different than in the canon, it’s obvious it still has made her put up walls either way. And of course, asshole men she dated (fucking Jefferson and Neal) have obviously not helped with that.

And ooooooh, I’m so looking forward to see that someone help her release that hurt as well, as I said I’m bracing myself for some super painful angst over here (don’t hurt us too badly pls 😭).

And you’re more than welcome! I am not too good at leaving feedback because I feel I suck at being eloquent and I get shy about it but I just had to let you know because really your writing is AMAZING! (as usual).

Ultima Thule  (2/14)

hooksandblakes:

Emma could remember fingers tangled in her curls, the weight of a hand settling on the small of her back, a smile meant only for her eyes. To have a soft kiss pressed against her lips, tentative and sweet, to share each other’s breath. Emma knew what it was to have someone by her side until he’d been taken away.

She’s spent near to half her life watching the horizon line, waiting for the tides to bring back what the sea once claimed.

Killian looked down at his hands, stained crimson with his brother’s blood, before staring across the deck as the pirate ship left his shattered world in its wake, and wondered what they could possibly have stood to gain from his loss.

He’s lost everything, his family, his love, even his hand. The one thing he believes he can- no, will – get back is his ship.

If no one else would do anything, Henry certainly would. He was going to save his mother, and the way he saw it, there was only one person in the entirety of Fort Charles that could possibly help him. Someone who had nothing to lose but his life, and everything to gain.

He doesn’t know much about the world beyond the stories he reads, but he’s determined to save the person he loves most.

       A Captain Swan story, based on Pirates of the Caribbean.

Chapter One: Sail Forth 


His head was throbbing.

He could feel his pulse pounding in his ears, behind his eyelids, and though he resisted the immediate urge to open them and check, he was rather certain there was a chain around his right hand, and quite possibly his ankle as well .

It’d been years since Killian had last let himself fall so deeply into his cups that he couldn’t see straight and woke up in a strange place besides, and he was fairly confident he hadn’t the night before, either – if there’s one thing Captain Hook prided himself on, it was his ability to hold his rum. He wondered if perhaps the bastards hadn’t slipped him something to ascertain his accordance with their plans, however unwilling his cooperation might have been.

That rat bastard Smee was supposed to be watching the door.

Check out this week’s update as we begin to see bits of the Pirates of the Caribbean lore woven into this tale. While we can’t wait to find out what led a young Killian from where we left him last with Emma to Captain Hook’s cell, we are certainly intrigued by Emma’s reaction to the mere mention of Hook’s moniker by Henry. Surely she has no reason to want to see the boy she saved so long ago dangling from the end of a rope! And what will happen if Hook isn’t the only pirate who has come to Port Royal? Parley?

Swan Song 1/3 – CS COCKTOBER FEST

courtorderedcake:

Here’s my admission for CS Cocktoberfest (Who you SHOULD be following, at @cscocktoberfest​) ! 

Originally, this piece was for @cssns, but I could never find a way to make it work. Even now, it is more romance than smut, but it’s definitely got smut in the later bits. For now, settle for a wet dream, and a very nice naked butt and boobs you can kiiiiinda see… if you zoom in.

SWANG SONG – 1/3

Set ambiguously in the 1920′s-1940′s in a world supposedly without magic, Detective Jones of Boston PD is a broken man with little ore than liquor to keep him going. When a strange string of murders and ominous rumors about a new King of crime bring him face to face with fairytales, Killian is anything but ready to meet, “The Swan”.

Rating – M, you know what I write by now, c’mon.

Click me, I’m the AO3 link!

Thanks to @wingedlioness​, @shireness-says​, & @gingerchangeling​, who are quite possibly the holy beta trifecta of amazeballs. Lioness even made me an amazing banner I’m going to use next chapter, =3

Another kind and incredibly sincere thank you to @initiala​ for everything she does in this fandom: This event aside, your passion, creativity, and overwhelming talent are awesome. You are awesome. You brought me to this fandom along with another two writers, and I am beyond giddy anytime one of you shares anything. I’m so addicted to your works, and I obviously love your wolf pieces, which were the initial (Hahahaha) reason I finally made a tumblr and forced myself to write. Thank you, very, very much. 

Now… to Cock!

i made a little tutorial for how i color manga caps/scanned sketches/anything with a white background that’s hard to get rid of. i hope this can help anyone who’s struggled with this in the past!!!!

(a mini visual for how the layers are supposed to look underneath the readmore. i drew it so it could be easily applied to any art program with these features w/o getting lost in the details)
