Cupid Flies Commercial (1/7)

Emma Swan is having the worst trip of her life, only to have a sexy Irishman come along and make it worse. He's rude, he's arrogant, and Emma can't stop fighting with him. When their antagonism somehow lands them in bed for a very steamy layover, Emma just thinks it's a one-time thing. And that's all it was--until he shows up on her doorstep.

Inspired by Samantha Young's Fight or Flight.

Emma Swan was already having a terrible day before her flight was cancelled. She’d woken up late, nursing a bad hangover, and in her rush to make her (now cancelled) flight, she had to forgo a cup of coffee. She’d barely made it in time, sprinting to her gate, only to arrive just as they started to announce that the flight was cancelled, due to ‘weather conditions’ out East.

She let out a big sigh, unwilling to wait until the end of the announcement. Since the passengers would be rebooked, she figured she’d get ahead of the rest. She slung her backpack over her shoulder, and started striding over to the attendant at the gate, who was beaming her direction. The attendant, a small brunette, was overly smiley for someone who’d have to deal with over a hundred disgruntled passengers, but Emma shrugged it off.

Just as she neared the desk, she was rudely shoved by a hefty laptop bag and its owner. He was a tall, raven-haired man who took her place, and probably didn’t even realize that he had hit her.

Should/Should Not: Christmas Edition

A follow up to Should/Should Not: Emma's not one for office Christmas parties, but she might just use this one to show Killian Jones how she really feels.

Basically some good old holiday smut.

“What’s this about a Christmas party?”

Emma cursed internally. She could have sworn that she had thrown it out. She had certainly meant to. Once glance at Regina’s party invitation had told her everything she need to know, specifically that she did not want to go. And who sends invitations by registered mail? She looked over at Killian. He was still in his coat, standing by the door, smirking at the embossed invitation that he had unearthed from somewhere (Seriously, she was positive that she had tossed it). He glanced up at her and shot her an infuriating smirk.

“It’s nothing. Just a holiday party that the Mayor’s office is throwing. It’s stupid.”

Killian raised an eyebrow at her, and then glanced down at the fancy invitation that was now in his hand.

“Doesn’t seem like nothing, Swan.”

Emma let out a frustrated sigh, and crossed her arms over her chest. She didn’t want to complain. Not tonight, when she finally had some time alone with him. It seemed to her that complaining was all that she had been doing lately, and she felt terrible. She hoped he would let it go, but Killian continued to stare at her, waiting for an explanation.

“Ever since the Sherriff’s office moved into the same building as Madam Mayor’s office, she’s been trying to win us over. She even brought us apple turnovers once, for chrissake.”

His lips turned upwards into a bemused smile.

“Since when do you turn down a sugary snack?”

Emma glared at him, his penchant for healthy foods was a point of contention with her, especially when he lectured her about her love of Pop Tarts. (“It’s not a breakfast food, Swan!”)

Of Hooks & Hands

A little ficlet with feelings, Hook-centric. I guess it’s a little angsty?

For all the relationships that Killian Jones had (and he’d have to use the word relationship loosely here), the most complicated one was the one he had with his hook. Sure, he had stranger encounters, like Louisa, who’d bray like a donkey when he rode her to oblivion, or Annabeth, whose idea of playing it hot and cold was too literal for his tastes.

And still…his hook plagued him the most.

Should/Should Not

A Halloween-themed one shot.

It was a bad idea.

Of course Emma knew it was a bad idea. Lusting after of the few friends she did have could never be considered a good idea.

She didn’t know when exactly she started to have feelings for him. She was watching him play with Henry one day, his blue eyes sparkling with mischief as he told her son an outrageous story. Henry laughed along with the man, clapping his hands in glee. She felt herself smiling at the scene and then bam! She realized she was in love.

Sound & Colour

AU. Based on the Alabama Shakes song of the same name.

Emma Swan passes a particular tattoo studio every day, and is entranced by the artwork in the window. Gathering her courage, she steps in and meets the owner, Killian Jones, who transforms her life.

Trigger warning: Mention of abuse!
