A Scoundrel… Or a Gentleman?

Ohhhhhh, I’m so happy to FINALLY be posting this fic!!! Inspired by Francesca Bridgerton’s story, When He Was Wicked, I wrote the prologue - 8k words - last September, then took a six month break before sitting down and getting the rest of the thing written. I so hope I did the story justice and that you enjoy and let me know what you think!!

And now thanks to whom thanks are due!!! @jrob64 is a LITERAL SAINT for everything she did to make this fic better. She is an outstanding beta and a dear friend, but I seriously tried her patience going back over and back over and back over AGAIN trying to make this just right. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, my friend, for EVERYTHING!!!

To @hollyethecurious for all the historical info that she shared with me and asking the questions that needed to be asked and answered before the fic was ready for posting. Her support was absolutely invaluable. Thank you, babe!!!

To @motherkatereloyshipper for her work on the Prologue artwork shown below. It is soooo beautiful, I could stare at it for hours!!! Thank you so much, darlin!!! Please give her lots of love!!!

The fic is complete with a total of 9chs. I’ll be updating twice a week- Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Summary: Killian Jones has been in love with Emma Nolan since the day he met her - the day before she married his brother Earl Liam Jones. That was six years ago, and Liam has been gone now for four years. Emma and Killian have both arrived in London for the season - her to seek a husband so she can hopefully bear children, him to finally take up his duties as the earl, including finding a wife. Will they succeed in their respective desires?

*spoiler alert- of course they will. It’ll just take them a little while to get there…*

Rating: M (smut in later chs)

Words: almost 8400 words of approx 59,5k

Tags: Regency Romance, Inspired by Francesca Bridgerton’s Story, Smut in Later Chapters

Since it's mermay, I thought I'd share my exploration of mermaid designs for Emma I've been working on for my upcoming contribution for Captain Swan Supernatural Summer @cssns

I still haven't settled on a design yet, so feel free to let me know which ones (or any possible combinations of style + color) you like best!

How long have you been in the CS/OUAT fandom?

I've joined the fandom when the show started airing Season 5. I followed people on Twitter who were watching it and saw pictures and gifs/videos they shared. At first, it didn't really interest me, but then I saw this one person obsessing over the main couple, sharing gifs and pics of them, also bts of the actors playing them. It got me intrigued so I started watching. I was disappointed that this Irish actor they've been singing odes for, the one half of the main ship wasn't in the first season. But when he showed up and had his first scene with Emma/Jen...BOOM. A CS fan was born.

When did you start shipping Captain Swan?

I think I started shipping them before I even started watching the show. People I followed on Twitter were obsessing over them and after a while I started to wonder "a lost princess and a pirate? And they are also hot? Okay, okay, okay..." And when the bean stalk scene/episode came I was done for, they stole my heart completely.

What drew you to this event?

So far I've participated in two CS events (Captain Swan Little Bang and CSSNS) and realized how much fun they were. After that I only wrote for my hobby projects but I didn't really have enough time to start something new. I'm still short on time for writing something new, so I decided to participate in another way - as a beta! :)

For our betas: Who/what have you beta'd before, or is this your first time?

I did some beta work for other fandoms (AOW and Vampire Diaries), so I'm excited to finally have a chance in the OUAT fandom as well!

What are you looking forward to most about participating in this event?

I'm really looking forward to diving deeper into the Captain Swan Supernatural universe and getting a sneak peek at some of the upcoming fan fiction and creative works that will be featured during the event. It's always exciting to be one of the first people to read new stories and see how others interpret and expand upon the world and characters we all love. Plus, events like this are a great opportunity to connect with fellow fans and maybe even get some insights from the authors themselves.

Welcome back, Niki!!!! So glad you're joining us again for this final go round!!!
