The best birthday gifts involve Captain Swan and the best friends cheer you up when you are feeling low! Thanks @jrob64!!! I can’t wait to read it.
Sneak peek of a new story for  @apiratewhopines (and whoever else wants to read it!)
Tumblr media
Today is the birthday of one of my favorite people in the CS fandom, @apiratewhopines​! I hoped to have this story finished for her and it’s very close, but I can only post the sneak peek this morning. The art and story are a result of  a conversation we had about glass blowing and what it would be like to see Killian Jones in a glass hot shop. It was meant to be a short one-shot, but it’s already nearing 10,000 words! I hope you love it, my sweet friend! 
Find the sneak peek under the cut.

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it! I was definitely out of my comfort zone writing it.
CS Fic Rec Monday: “Blocked” by: @apiratewhopines
Oh my goodness!! This one shot was SO MUCH FUN to read!!! I have been working through @apiratewhopines​‘ fic catalogue, and this one just had me chuckling, and then fanning myself, and then back to chuckles again. Poor Killian just can’t get a break for enough time alone with his Swan - not when everyone else keeps getting in the way, needing the Sheriff/Savior to solve their problems all the time! It’s perfect and such a joy - if you’ve missed it until now, you have to check it out!!
I also tried to make some cover art for it:

Congrats @kmomof4!!!! This was an epic undertaking and you rocked it! I loved every chapter and enjoyed watching this family grow!
A Spy Finds a Home: A Snowing Tale for A Family Affair  Epilogue: A New Beginning
Tumblr media
We’re HERE, y’all!!!! The entire series is finally COMPLETE!!! 
For those of you who’ve been with me from the beginning, THANK YOU from the BOTTOM of my HEART!!! I never would have believed the reception I received for this series if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes. I hope y’all enjoy this final installment and think it was worth the seven month wait! And for those of you who wanted to wait to read until this fic or the series was complete, I so hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think!
Since this is the final installment, I’m gonna share links to all the individual fics in the series below. 
The series A Family Affair introduces us to the family of Marco and Beverly Swan, a family of entertainers who raised their four children, firstborn David and triplet daughters Regina, Emma, and Ruby, while traveling around the country doing gigs at family retreats, resorts, summer camps, and the like. Now that the children are all grown up, they each have a love story to tell.
Love Between the Pages tells the story of Emma and Killian Jones, a bestselling biographer who arrives at her horse farm in rural Virginia to interview Emma for his latest project, a biography on her late husband Neal Cassidy, NASCAR darling killed five years ago on the track. Falling in love with her was not part of the plan.
Dance With the Gypsy is Broadway star Ruby and Graham’s story. Graham had sworn off love years ago, but when Ruby Lucas literally danced her way into his life, he was helpless to resist her. Maybe falling in love wasn’t so bad, as long as he didn’t screw it up.
Clipping an Angel’s Wings tells the tale of Hollywood star Regina and Robin, a PI she hires to keep an unstable fan at a safe distance.
And finally, A Spy Finds a Home tells David and Mary Margaret’s story. Mary Margaret, Snow as David calls her, hires international spy David to find her parents who’ve been kidnapped by a terrorist group. When the dust settles, Snow brings David home to reunite with the family he left a decade ago. Today’s ch link
All of the love and hugs I can give to the team who helped me get this entire series published in the first place. These ladies betaed, encouraged, helped with the art, and brainstormed with me over the many months I’ve been working on these fics. Thank you to artists @motherkatereloyshipper​ and @apiratewhopines​. Kit was responsible for the manips used in all the Snowing artwork and Beth made her own picset for this final installment featuring all the couples from the entire series!!! You can find Beth’s artwork at the end of this chapter because of mild spoilers. I cannot thank these ladies enough!!! Please go give them all the love!!! Betas @profdanglaisstuff​ @snowbellewells​ @jrob64​ @betweengalaxies2​ and @apiratewhopines​ made sure my words made sense and the characters stayed true to themselves. And finally, @hollyethecurious​ and @jrob64​ were my encouragement and brainstorming team from the very beginning and I could not have done this without them.
Tagging the usuals. Please let me know if you’d like to be added or removed.

A Spy Finds a Home: A Snowing Tale for A Family Affair Ch. 5 Sefrou
Tumblr media
We’re back, y’all!!! We get a bit of a reprieve from all the action in this chapter, but there are some important developments that occur instead! I hope you enjoy! Thank you all again for coming along on this journey with me, both for this fic and for the series! I truly didn’t think anyone would read the other stories, so the response to this has just been overwhelming! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!
All the love and internet tackle hugs (until I can do it in person to a couple of these ladies in just a few days) to @jrob64 @apiratewhopines and @hollyethecurious and @motherkatereloyshipper​! Kit took care of the all the manips for David and Mary Margaret I’ve used in the artwork and Hollye was my brainstorming and plotting partner. Joni and Beth were the eyes that made my words make sense and I cannot wait to see them both in a few days so I can hug them both in person!!! Thank you all so much, ladies!!! 😘
Fic Summary: International spy David Nolan is tired. 
When his mentor dies unexpectedly, he is drawn back into a world he wanted to leave behind, courtesy of a quarter million dollars and a beautiful woman. Dr. Mary Margaret Blanchard is too much of everything- too smart, too gutsy, too alluring, and too naive to survive on her own.
Now, with the risk of world-wide nuclear war on the line, David has little choice in the matter. If he can just remember that the gorgeous raven haired doctor is a means to an end and nothing more, he’ll have it made.
Chapter Summary: David finally surrenders to his feelings but wants to make sure Mary Margaret knows exactly what she’s getting herself into. The move from Casablanca to Sefrou brings them one step closer to the confrontation that could seal their fate.
Rating: M (smut, language, violence, minor character death)
Words: Almost 8600 of 52K
Tags: Inspired by Without a Trace The O’Hurley’s by Nora Roberts, Spy Fic, Espionage, Smut, Minor Character Death

For @motherkatereloyshipper
Hope and luck and love…a hundred words at a time (7 Drabbles from Hook’s POV)
On AO3
A couple of notes to get us started:
-The number 7 is considered lucky or magical in numerous cultures.
-Rainbows symbolize hope.
-Oranges are given to wish people good luck.
-Irises symbolize hope.
-A drabble is a 100 word piece of fiction; for the best examples of this type of writing, please refer to any of Kit’s most excellent offerings. I suggest this one: Green Eyed Monster
Kit, here are 700 words to (hopefully) brighten your day and wish you (100 times the normal amount of) happiness on your birthday! (A couple of days early)
Red
The sunset bled over the horizon, painting the ocean a rosy hue in the far off distance. There was a time in his life he chased that illusion of eternity. Now he was content to let it burn away. He didn’t need forever, he simply needed her.
As his love’s soft sound broke the stillness of the moment, a quiet moan he was achingly familiar with now, he reached behind him. Instead of the blanket, his hand encountered something else. With a smile, he spread it over her prone form.
After all, he had always liked the red leather jacket.
Orange
The basket of oranges was cheery enough in the early morning gloom, but baffling in its presence on the deck of the Jolly. At first, he worried it was a trick. One didn’t spend as much time in the Enchanted Forest as he had without knowing that fruit could be weaponized.
The cheeky note of Good Luck gave nothing away but the timing did. Always the morning of his weekly trivia game. Soon he realized it was Belle, his arch-nemesis.
They toasted alternating wins with orange juice because he wasn’t sure how else to thank her for being a friend.
Yellow
He wasn’t much on modern music, but that one song always made him wistful. The melancholy longing of his past would inextricably be tied up with that color. Watching Emma drive away, being forced to let go before he ever really found his grip. The dented and patched hull in no way dimmed by its past accidents or its present course.
If only they were all so lucky.
Now as sunshine and sea spray fought for dominance, his eyes were blinded by yellow and gold. A pair of matching giggles and identical chins made his heart nearly burst with happiness.
Green
Jealousy was an indulgence he couldn’t afford. For a man who had lived centuries and came back from the dead, he couldn’t shake the feeling that he was living on borrowed time. He tried his best to be a better man than the day before, the days of just settling for putting one foot in front of the other on his path to revenge behind him.
Still, as he watched his wife take her frosted mug and trail the icy glass down her throat to rest in the V of her shirt, he had never resented an inanimate object more.
Blue
Everything fades with time. He knew this better than most. However, he wasn’t prepared for the day he woke up and faced an old man in the mirror. The years had been kind, too kind some might say, but the magic of Neverland couldn’t last forever and time marched on.
As he studied the salt—completely lacking in pepper—he remembered how every gray and white strand came to be, recognized how each wrinkle was a record of the people he'd loved and the miracles he witnessed.
With a smirk and wink at his reflection, he thanked Zeus for the timeless blue.
Indigo
The sleepless nights were the worst. Curses were broken as easily as hearts in this realm, at least if you were the savior, but that didn’t mean the memories crept quietly into the darkness, never to be seen or heard from again.
There were times they screamed, times they cried, times they stared, times they accused and times they confessed. Each round a fresh fight in the battle to keep what they had. It never bothered him. He was a man who fought for what he wanted.
The indigo shadows of their shared pain made them stronger with each daybreak.
Violet
He never appreciated the symbolism of flowers until he had a daughter. More aptly, until he had a daughter who was dating.
How he hated the sound of that word on his tongue.
They came with red roses (romance), purple lilacs (love), bleeding hearts (passion). He grudgingly gave bonus points to the ones who brought snowbells and tiger lilies.
It wasn’t until one came bearing violets (faithfulness) mixed with bluestar (endurance) that he truly started to worry.
When the lad asked for a word, he wanted to refuse. Instead, he accepted a single iris and tried not to tear up.

My contribution to the ‘Heatwave Collection’
Tumblr media
With the hot temperatures that many people have been experiencing recently, several of us have written Captain Swan ‘heatwave stories’. The idea was suggested by @cs-rylie on the CSMM Discord, so I owe her thanks for that, and also for looking over this story as I wrote it. Of course, @hookedmom was once again my fabulous beta, catching all my errors, and giving helpful suggestions to make this story better. 
You can find the ‘Heatwave Collection’ on Ao3 here. Be sure to check out all the great stories! 
SUMMARY: A heatwave in Storybrooke has everyone on edge, and Emma is feeling the heat of being the town sheriff. Her pirate takes it upon himself to help his wife find some relief from the weather and the pressures of her job. 
Rating: M
Words: 3623
Also found on Ao3 and ffn
*********
“Good afternoon, Love,” Killian greeted as he entered the stuffy confines of the Storybrooke police station. 
Emma looked up from the paperwork she was attempting to put in order, but was being hindered by the oscillating fan sitting on the corner of her desk. How could her husband look so damn hot when it was…so damn hot? Even the way the sweaty, rogue strands of hair fell across his forehead into his eyes was sexy. 
“What’s good about it?” she grumbled. 
He crossed the room in four quick strides, his smile fading a bit as he took in his wife’s scowling face. “Something wrong, Swan?” 
“Wrong? Oh, no, nothing’s wrong,” she spat sarcastically. “The heat is just making every citizen in this town lose their damn mind! And of course, it’s the sheriff’s job to solve all the problems around here, so half the morning was spent running from dwarf to dwarf, trying to figure out who stole whose fan. Then there was the case of the fender bender in the grocery store parking lot, where the worst damage was the ice cream that melted all over the back seat, while they waited for me to arrive. I caught hell for that! It’s not my fault it’s almost a hundred degrees and nobody can handle it!” 
Recalling how they both used those same words in the sultry jungle of Neverland before their first kiss, Killian smirked, which was probably the worst thing he could have done at that moment. When Emma looked up and caught sight of his expression, she jumped up from her chair, her hands in fists as she leaned on her desk. “What the hell is so funny, Jones?”

Thinking about when Emma and Killian went back in time. Thinking about Snow White stealing from Charming's castle. Thinking about how Emma didn't help her steal from him but was caught with the stolen property and wound up in jail. Thinking about how the exact same thing happened to her twelve years ago in the real world, and how that time, no one came back to rescue her. Thinking about how Killian was suprised to find that Emma had broken herself out and Emma was suprised to find Killian had come back for her.
