Nonnie, I completely agree but I rather not publish your ask bc I don’t want to add more drama; we can definitely discuss it privately if you come off anon.
I do see a lot of “WHook v OGHook” discourse and from what I understand of it, a lot of it seems to revolve around the idea that WHook’s redemption is more meaningful because he became a parent and he had to be a parent in order to have a complete redemption arc.

While reminiscing about pivotal moments in his relationship with Emma, he quickly arranges a plan to find her and convince her their True Love is the only way to break the curse.
Huge thank you to the wonderful @cshappybeginning for the amazing poster she’s created for this fic!
Since Tumblr sucks and there are these messy symbols, I advise you to read this chapter on AO3 and FF.net.

an ashamed Smee sitting on one of the trapdoors, trying to hide a piece of
bread and cheese behind his back.
“Captain, I
swear I was just stopping for a breath,” he used his free hand to clean some
breadcrumbs off his bearded chin before sending Killian a curious look. “Who is
Emma?”
