Haunted Tales of Fics Past
Spooky season has arrived, so I thought I’d compile a list of all my CS supernatural/Halloweenesque fics rather than do individual reblogs throughout the month. If you’ve already read them, then maybe it’s time to revisit, and if you haven’t then… Enjoy!
The Legend of Captain Killian Jones - (Complete) CS Halloweek / Modern AU: Cursed three hundred years ago to take on ghost form and haunt his family estate, Killian Jones receives a reprieve once every hundred years to take on corporeal form in order to try and break his curse. A renowned restorationist, Emma Swan takes on the project of bringing the three hundred year old Jones Manor back to its former glory. A manor that is reportedly haunted by the notorious Captain Killian Jones. Good thing Emma doesn’t believe in ghosts. Rated M / ~24k / Two Parts + an outtake
Some Legends are Best Kept as Legends - (WIP) CS AU based on The Legend of Sleepy Hollow: Years after ruthlessly humiliating the man known as Rumple von Stiltskin, Killian Jones faced him once again on the battlefield, though it was clear his foe was no longer an ordinary man. Before succumbing to the fatal injury the Dark One’s blade had inflicted, Killian managed to strike a blow of his own with the being’s own ripple-edged dagger. Now, nearly two hundred and fifty years later, Killian finds himself alive and back in his hometown. However, whatever awoke him from his cursed sleep had also raised the Dark One. With all of Storybrooke at risk, can Killian find a way to stop the Dark One once and for all? Perhaps so. With a little help from Deputy Swan and her boy. Rated T / Four posted chapters
Ghost in the Void - CS Ghost!Killian AU: Emma needs to sell her house, and move on. The ghost that resides there doesn’t want her to leave, and therefore sabotages all of the home showings. Emma is not happy with said ghost… who insists he isn’t actually a ghost at all. Rated GA / ~2800 words
The Craving In Between - CS Vampire!Killian AU for the CSSNS: Emma shivered at the biting wind whipping through the street as she crossed from one alley to the next, the tight, thin dress beneath her jacket doing little to help keep her warm. She’d chosen it earlier that night hoping to impress a certain teaching assistant from one of the classes she and Neal shared. Killian Jones. A doctoral candidate several years her senior, and super hot to boot, Emma couldn’t deny she’d initially started flirting with him just to get under Neal’s skin, but as the semester went on and her overtures were met with equally witty and flirtatious banter, Emma had to admit there was something about Killian Jones that drew her to him.
Emma rolled her eyes, and not some mystical, mumbo jumbo, supernatural bullshit. A scoff left her lungs, hanging before her in a mist of cold sarcasm as she recalled her ex’s words warning that Jones wasn’t human. Shaking her head, Emma thought to herself, “Well, what the hell is he then, Neal?”
Emma was about to find out. Rated M / ~17.5K words
Varcolac: A Hybrid Tale - (Complete) CS Supernatural AU: While heading home to prepare for the coming evening, Killian Jones happens upon a woman broken down on the side of the road. A woman who shifts the entire foundations of his being with just her scent. Killian Jones is a werewolf you see, and the unsuspecting lass has landed herself deep in werewolf country on the cusp of the first night of the full moon. Knowing he must get her on her way for her own safety, Killian offers to fix her vehicle, but things go awry in town when another wolf attempts to stake a claim on the stunning stranger. Now Killian must do all he can to protect the woman, Emma Swan, from a vengeful pack, all while keeping his true nature a secret from her. Turns out, Killian Jones is no ordinary werewolf. Rated M / Five Parts + addt’l scene
The Cottage - (Complete) CS Fantasy AU: Everyone knew of the dark creatures that were rumored to lurk in the forest, the mystical elements that cast a foreboding veil over every cluster of trees, every sweeping branch and quivering leaf. The forest was quiet in the way fear was quiet. A silence one felt in their bones as it thundered in their ears from the pounding of their heart. To Emma Swan though, the quiet of the forest wasn’t that of fear, but of tranquility. She felt no foreboding in the way the trees swayed, even on windless days, or the shrouds of fog that collected along its floor. Emma was fascinated by the forest, always had been, but had never set foot across its border. She had enough prejudice against her from the village as it was, and the pull of the pines and sweet berries she could make out from the boundary line wasn’t enough to warrant more consternation from her neighbors. The cottage on the edge of the tree line was, though. Rated M / Sixteen Chapters + Epilogue
Blood Stained - CS Canon Divergence: Hook returns from the Underworld, but his hook is giving him hell. Rated T / ~3300 words
Curious Whumper Collection (linked to Ao3)
Of The Season - (Fics I associate with this time of year)
Dark Hook Comes to Storybrooke - (Complete) Season 1 Canon Divergence co-written with @winterbaby89: Moments before the Evil Queen’s Dark Curse whisks our beloved fairytale characters to Storybrooke, Captain Hook finally gets his revenge on the Crocodile. Twenty-eight years later, Killian Jones awakes in Storybrooke expecting just another ordinary day, that is until a number of abnormal occurrences disrupts his otherwise scheduled life. The greatest of which is a new face in town. A young woman by the name of Emma. Emma. What a lovely name… Rated M / Twenty-Nine Chapters
May the Lord Open - (Complete) CS Dystopian AU inspired my The Handmaid’s Tale: Emma Swan, renamed Ofarthur when she was assigned to the Pendragon household as their Handmaid four months prior, is approached by her mistress, Mrs. Pendragon to take part in a scheme the woman hopes will produce her the child her husband cannot. During her encounter with family’s loyal Guardian, Emma gets more than she bargained for… in more ways than one. Rated E / Five Chapters
We Make Our Own Fate - (Complete) CS Post-apocalyptic AU inspired by the film What Still Remains: Emma Swan had been born on the cusp of the event that had changed mankind forever. A pestilence. A sickness that stripped away the humanity of those infected, those changed; abandoning the rest of the population to try and survive, not only the disease, but the crumbling of society itself. Nearly twenty-one years later, Emma finds herself at a crossroads - accept the opportunity presented to her by the handsome stranger she happened upon one fateful morning, or remain at the only home she’s ever known, alone. Rated M / Eleven Chapters
What Lies Beneath the Mask - (Complete) CS AU inspired by The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Man in the Iron Mask, and The Whipping Boy: Killian has never seen his face. At least, not that he has memory of. Rescued by his adoptive father, Lord Rumple Gold, when he was a mere four years old, Killian has always been told that his heartless mother abandoned him on the steps of Misthaven Cathedral because of his monstrous deformity. A deformity that must be hidden away behind a mask. He is forced to suffer a life of abuse as Lord Gold’s son’s whipping boy until he comes of age at 18. Misthaven Bishop, Nemo, offers him a place as groundskeeper at the cathedral where for the past six years, Killian has longed for a life among the people of Misthaven. In a moment of bravery he chances being a part of the crowds during the annual Feast of Fools celebration and meets a woman who is able to see past his mask to the man underneath. With her help, perhaps Killian can begin to discover what lies beneath the mask. Rated M / Eight Chapters + addt’l scene
