I'm deliciously excited to see what comes next in the WIPs you're working on for WIP Wednesday, but your designations of other projects being "Back Burner, Plot Bunny, and Wild Hair" make me wonder if they're three different things or three ways to say the same thing.
Hahahaha!
First, thank you. I'm excited to share what I've been working on and getting a swift kick in the butt each week to encourage me to keep working on them.
Second, those are actual names of individual folders in my Google Drive.
Back Burner - docs with detailed notes, plots, words, that could be WIPS but I've either gotten stuck or lost inspiration on.
Plot Bunny - mostly just single page docs with a concept and maybe a few plot points. Ideas that have potential to become full on WIPs at some point.
Wild Hair - crazy thoughts/ideas that won't leave my brain until I write them down. Most of them are actually jotted down in notebooks, but I do have a folder with a couple of docs that consist of nothing more than a single line or two, like: Agents of Shield AU - Killian is Ward (a double agent), but ends up choosing the right side before it's too late.

CS WIP Wednesday Challenge
Thank you to @captainswanwipwednesdays for putting together this challenge!
Prologue Challenge (pre-week one)
Post a list of your current WIPS with the last line you wrote/posted from each.
(I decided to only include fics currently residing in my WIP folder and not any from the Back Burner, Plot Bunny, or Wild Hair folders)
Pan Says... (posting)
From Part Nine:
“I’m sorry, love,” he said, holding her close to his chest once more. “Of course we’ll get that chance. We’ll have an entire lifetime to say all the things that need to be said. They’ll find us. Of that I’m certain. They’ll never stop fighting for us. And neither will I.”
“Good.”
CS Grimm AU (for this year's @cssns)
“In over my head?” he said in feigned offense. “I’ll have you know, love,” he murmured in a low timber, edging a bit closer to her. “If there is one thing I’m good at… it’s surviving.”
“Mhmm,” Emma hummed, meeting his taunting expression of challenge with one of her own. “Well, I’m going to insist that you stop by afterward in order to prove that to me.”
He smiled down at her, another message alerting from his phone, indicating it was past time for him to go.
“As you wish.”
CS Land Run AU
Hadn’t he promised his brother no more fighting, no more gambling, no more unsavory activities? Hadn’t he promised they would make a fresh start of things here in America?
A fresh start required funds, though. Should he win his bouts, the purse would more than cover their expenses for the next several weeks, providing them a cushion of resources whilst they settled in and began to build a life here. Besides, hadn’t his brother always told him that a man unwilling to fight for what he wanted deserved what he got? Killian was willing to fight for the future he and Liam dreamed of obtaining in this new land. It had been worth the risk when he’d wagered on getting them here, so was it not worth the risk now?
“Well, lads,” he said, standing once more and donning his hat. “What time is the match and who do I pay?”
Mob Sequel
She glanced back at him, his expression telling her his gratitude was for more than just her willingness to deal with Hyde and get them breakfast. The melancholy in his eyes tore at her heart. She wanted to protect the sanctity of his cabin for as long as she could, allowing him to have these moments of vulnerability until duty dictated he put on his armor and face the day without any visible weaknesses.
“Take all the time you need,” she told him, waiting until he disappeared into the washroom before opening the door.
Enchanted Forest AU
Uncontrollable laughter filled the cabin, first guffawed by Emma and quickly met with Hook’s own chortles, the ridiculousness of the entire conversation hitting them both full force.
Once they’d both calmed themselves back down, Hook yawned and said, “I know you have many more questions, love, and I promise to answer each and every one of them as best I can, but… perhaps we could continue to do so in the morning? I have a feeling tomorrow will bring a new set of challenges for us, and I, for one, would rather face them well rested than not, if it’s all the same to you.”
“Of course,” Emma replied with a yawn of her own. “You’re right.”
“Good night, Swan.”
“Good night… Hook.”
Curious about any of my WIPS/posted works? Come Ask Me!

Captain Swan Fic Recs are back, baby! - April Edition
Hello, cs friends! It's been like, what, seven years since I last did this? Who's counting. Enjoy the fruits of y'all's labour and some amazing stories. Keep writing, we need you
-Sophie
when Emma falls in love [from the vault] by @spartanguard
Inspired by "When Emma Falls In Love" by Taylor Swift, part of series based on songs from the vault
everyone's wondering why Emma doesn't screw the hot bartender already, it's not like he hasn't given signs. but with emma's romantic past it's not like she's throwing chances to anyone, scruffily attractive as they may be. yet, it's not her past that's worrisome. will they break the curse?
rated T | 6.2k words | AO3
Untie Me | captain swan fic | office romance | mature | 3/5 | 5.9k | in progress, by me
“Didn’t you pay attention to trigonometry, Jones?” she balances her weight on the stick, languidly, in a way that ticks something into his already drowsy brain. “Is this the part where you offer to teach me, Swan?” he says, advancing to her.
Read on Ao3 or ff.net
I, lost, was passing by - by @dykelilypage
Five years ago, Emma's father had given her a necklace for her birthday. It was a beautiful ruby encased in a golden chain, that sat heavy on her chest. It was safe to say then, that Emma was more than a little bit pissed off to discover that it had been stolen from right around her neck. The one stroke of luck to the whole ordeal was that she knew exactly who had taken it. Killian Jones.
rated E | 6267 words
love scare by @exhaustedpirate
it's a little canon-compliant one-shot that i place during the six weeks of peace, more specifically, like a day or so before 4B
rated G | 922 words | ao3
Expecting a Secret [3/3] by @walviemort
Summary: After the events of 3x19, Killian is at his lowest after being rejected by Emma. When Snow’s labor turns out to be a false alarm, Zelena offers Killian a deal: she’ll leave the Charmings alone…if he gives her the baby she needs for her spell instead. There’s just one hitch: he has to keep it a secret. At least it will only take 10 days, right?
The Heart of a Villan (5/5) by @beckettj
There are only two people that can make me care about football: Ted Lasso and this.
Words: 6181 ~ AO3
Perilous Harbor by @veryverynotgoodwrites
Emma Swan is heir apparent to her parents' kingdom in the Enchanted Forest, and a powerful wielder of light magic. This makes her the most wanted woman in the realm, not only for marriage, but for leverage against the king and queen. While her parents have been able to keep her safe so far, an attack is launched on Princess Emma that leaves her no choice but to seek the protection of her worst enemy - Killian Jones, infamous captain of the Jolly Roger and his pirate crew.
ao3 in progress 19/23
a work of art by @sotangledupinit
“I always have to clean up your messes,” she mutters to herself angrily, eyes glaring down at the red liquid on the floor.
Between Waking Life and Our Dreams (12/?) by @nachocheese-itsmycheese
Season 3b canon divergence: Storybrooke is still missing when Emma, Killian, and Henry reach the town line.

The Fluffy Problem by @ineffablecolors
"Oh, I'm going to have fun paying you back, Captain."

The Cure for Loneliness (4/?) by @laianely
Killian went to the world without magic to finally kill Crocodile, but instead he met Emma in Gold's shop. And his whole life turned upside down overnight.
E 16k words in progress AO3
Pan Says... (8/?) by @hollyethecurious
After waking up in a strange room with a naked stranger, Emma and Killian must endure the twisted game their kidnapper insists they play in order to gain provisions and avoid punishments.
To Cleave Destiny by @iamstartraveller776
She was going to pass the night the same way she did every year in adulthood: by getting drunk enough to forget that the world was incredibly unfair.
Ao3, in progress, T, 4k

About the AO3 "No Guest Comments for a while" warning
If you're not following any of AO3's social media accounts you might be in the dark as to what kind of "spam comments" have engendered this banner at the top of the site:
These spam comments have been posted about a great deal on the AO3 subreddit for the past couple of days. Initially they comprised a bunch of guest (logged out users) bot comments that insulted authors by suggesting they were using AI and not writing their own fics. Some examples, from the subreddit:
But it then escalated to outright graphic porn images and gifs being posted in comments, again by logged out 'Guest' accounts. Obviously, I'm not going to give examples of those, but between these two bot infestations, AO3 has clearly decided to act and has temporarily closed the ability to post comments for users who are not logged in with an AO3 account.
Unfortunately, this means that genuine readers who don't have an AO3 account won't be able to leave comments on fics that they enjoy.
If you are a genuine reader who doesn't yet have an AO3 account, I strongly suggest getting yourself on the waiting list for one. More and more AO3 authors are now locking their fics down to registered users only - either due to these bot comments or concerns about AI scraping their work - which means you're probably missing out on a lot of great stuff.
Hopefully guest commenting will be enabled again at some point soon, but I suggest not waiting until then. Get yourself on that list.
Wait times are going to be longer than usual at the moment, due to the current Wattpad purge [info on Fanlore | Wattpad subreddit thread], but if you're in line, then your invite will come through eventually.
Update: There's now a Megathread about this on the AO3 subreddit.

Week 17
😈 A new WIP (You've already got so many on the go... what's one more?)

Week 19
🪈 The WIP you talked about but never started (we're waiting - time to pay the piper...)
Week 20
👀 Let someone else pick which WIP they'd love you to update (it's not peer pressure if it's your friends right?)

I mean... She's not wrong.
Has anyone ever asked Colin what he thinks Rogers' first name was?

So apparently I just don't know my own strength. I felt some sort of disturbance in the force, foretelling of some kind of content stirring in the aether, about to come into fruition... but I also clearly felt there would not be any direct contact drop just yet and so reined in my urge to try to summon the man himself...
Only to find I have inadvertently summoned a fan encounter in Los Angeles, of all places! I wonder what he's doing there??

Such a missed opportunity!
y'all ever remember how in Once Upon a Time, a show all about making all fairy tale characters related, they gave the name Killian Jones to the character of Captain Hook and then they didn't even bother making him related to Davy Jones
like what the fuck was that

Word from your wips: press
Thank you, my darling! I hope you don't mind, but I included other tenses (pressed, pressing, etc.) in my search. You managed to hit all five of my WIPS! Well done!
A Necessary Evil:
Her nose brushed against the side of his neck and the soft press of her lips where his pulse flickered had him gritting his teeth.
Mob!Killian Sequel:
Emma pressed her lips together into a thin line and stared up at the ceiling for a moment. “Killian knows that you shared stories with Guin and Lance about your younger days together, right?”
Pan Says...:
“My, my,” Killian purred in his Captain’s voice. “Aren’t you a sightly bit of plunder.” Pressing down on her shoulders, he ordered, “On your knees for the Captain, wench.”
CS Grimm AU:
Something about her direct yet compassionate tone eased the hysteria threatening to over take him. Releasing a heavy breath, he ran his hand through his hair, tugging on the strands at the back, before dropping his hand to his chest where he pressed against the thundering in his ribcage.
Land Run AU:
Trailing her fingers down his face, she cupped his jaw and pressed her forehead to his as her eyes fell shut. “Liam is not the only one who sacrificed in order to try and repay your father’s debts. And in my opinion,” Flicking up her gaze, she held his with a stern intention, “he owes you a greater debt and measure of gratitude than you owe him. Mistake or no mistake.”
