He won’t do that now.

Summary
His informality is refreshing; like water in a desert, Emma is parched and desperate for more.
“Take note, Princess, that I take no pleasure in pointing out the susceptibilities of your security or skills. It is my loyalty to you that wants you to remain safe.” There’s an earnestness to his voice and Emma feels her cheeks heat. His breath fans against her face in soft puffs as he speaks and the corner of his mouth lifts in a small smile.
“What have I done to earn such loyalty other than wear a crown?” she asks in an equally quiet voice. She’s breathless as she speaks but she yearns for his unfiltered response.

Summary
Viscount Bridgerton was stubborn, frustrating, got in his own way more often than not, and there was a melancholy about his person most times when she saw him, but she gave him more leeway than she did nearly all of the rest of the Ton.
Except when conversing with her charge before an introduction, a conversation that is decidedly not their first.
//
Or Lady Danbury notices Kate has given them the slip during the Conservatory Ball and she finds her charge having a conversation with the viscount in the garden.

Summary
The swipes are precise. Hundreds litter her canvas with red streaks standing out against their pale background. Some are superficial while others gouge unsalvageable marks. Drips are unavoidable, Emma concedes, but the origin of these are the source of irritation.
Her job is not done. She has to work with these flaws to craft something he will be proud of. He is the experienced one, after all.
//
Emma and Killian are low-key serial killers but if you ask them, they're artists in love.

Summary
“I get everyone else doesn’t want to go back, I get it. It’s nice being together and having the comfortable mattress and soft pillows and literal palace. But, actually, no, you know what unsettles me the most about being here?” she rants one day while she paces her bed chambers. Hook casually lays on the chaise lounge under the window, spearing grapes with his hook before sliding them off with his mouth, a sight that becomes more and more dangerous the more she sees it. His shirt is unbuttoned to a staggering degree and his chest hair is more of a distraction than she ever thought such a thing could be.
“Ogres? Flying monkeys? Genies?” Hook offers without any real thought.
|| Emma didn't mean to alter Pan's curse. She just wanted to keep her family together. The Enchanted Forest is interesting and all, but it would've been great if her alterations kept them together in Storybrooke where there's hot showers and a McDonalds just past the town line.

Summary
“Killian, do you need a ride home?” Belle asks. “I’m taking Ruby and you’re right around the block.”
“Oh, that’s okay,” Emma cuts in. She busies herself with fastening the buttons on her coat so her friends can’t see the lie forming on her lips. “I forgot my gift for Killian at home so I told him I’ll bring him by to grab it before dropping him off home.”
Belle eyes the two of them, brows furrowed. “If you’re sure…”
“Aye, no need to worry, love,” Killian says with a grin. He’s got his gifts tucked under his left arm as his right hand wraps a scarf around his neck. “Swan will take care of me.”
// They had no intentions of keeping their relationship secret, but eight months into it and they don't know when they'll tell their friends. But the group's holiday gift exchange may decide that for them.

Summary
“Love, I may not be as well versed in magic as you and Regina but that potion is poison,” he says, his nose scrunching up in disgust.
“Your words are poison,” she says under her breath. Pushing off of the counter, she joins him at the table, her eyes peering at the contents she’s mixed together. A putrid smell greets her nose and she pulls back sharply. “Maybe…” she begins, gently pushing Killian back with a hand on his shoulder, “we shouldn’t stand so close though.”

Summary
The last thing Emma expects when she opens the door is a mini-me.
Trick-or-treaters of the building have knocked on their apartment door throughout the day, a range of Spider-Man’s, Batman’s, princesses, and a minion or two have all come asking for candy. Her Spotify playlist for the day is on repeat for the fourth time and it always brings an extra bounce to the kid’s steps. But to open the door and see a little blonde girl, curly hair straightened and wearing a red leather jacket that’s so small it’s adorable, Emma isn’t sure how to react.
