a candle lit (1/?)

Rating: M Length: 3k+ Summary: Every night she lights a candle, hoping he’ll find his way home.  A Lieutenant Duckling AU. Available: AO3

Every night before she slept she lit a candle and placed it on the railing of the balcony outside her bedroom. She whispered a small spell to the flame, forbidding it from extinguishing itself. No one in the castle or the sea village below knew why the princess lit the flame. Some whispered that she was paying respect to the sailors who had left some months back, for a long and harrowing voyage out to sea.

They weren’t all wrong.

“…And so I think back on the climbing of the beanstalk and when she handcuffs him without realising it, he ties the… earlier on when he ties the thing around her hand, there was all these little moments of connection in there where I don’t know that she’d be admitting it to herself yet at that point, but she definitely was realising that this was someone that could be significant to her because of his spirit and his soul, and the type of person he was.”(x)(x)

CS + Compass

Dedicated to the lovely artchivesbykelly

Those of you who are familiar with my metas know how I see “Tallahassee” as maybe the most important episode for CS. It’s significance to the CS love story is getting more and more clear as the show evolves.

When I got the word “compass” I immediately thought of that famous compass they searched together. But then I also thought of how they have served as a compass for one another along the way. So then I thought about it, couldn’t the compass be yet another hidden sign of what was yet to come? Along with others very huge clues.

Think about all the sentences I put up here from 2x05 and 2x06, if you think about it, everything they said have such a deeper meaning if you think that at the end the real compass that they were searching for was the other person. 

“There’s an enchanted compass” - Emma is an enchanted person.

“How we’re gonna find a compass in this mess?” - both of their lives are in such a huge mess at that moment that they can’t find what they need in each other just yet.

“So it’s just… in here somewhere?” - Yes Emma, right next to you but your wall is preventing you from seeing it.

and finally:

“Let’s find the compass and go home.” - We spoke so much about the significance of the word “home” for Emma, it was only after she discovered Hook as her compass that she was able to realize what her home was with the help of it’s guidance. 

So I’ll just say it once more: because I can’t help it 

It always goes back to “Tallahassee” 

Send me a word/quote/parallel and I’ll make you a CS gifset inspired by it.
