Shadows of Forever (Chapter 1/? - We are not in Kansas anymore)

Ho ho ho @mionedray! So I was your Secret Santa this year! It’s been such a joy to craft this tale and brainstorm with your answers along the way. Spoiler alert: I did manage to weave the soulmate storyline together with the Underworld theme (and I had so much fun doing it).

The story grew beyond what I originally planned, so it’s going to be a multi-chapter adventure, likely around 3–5 chapters. I truly hope you enjoy it, and thank you for inspiring such a wonderful journey!

Also, a special shoutout to my cousin, who is learning to become a digital artist and created the header for this story. It was such a great learning experience for her, and I’m so proud of how it turned out!

Thank you @cssecretsanta2020 for organizing the event!

Wishing you a very Happy Holidays! 🎄✨

Summary: Emma Swan's day is going terribly. She's stuck in the underworld with only fragments of memory, her only guide is an irritatingly handsome rogue who speaks in riddles, and the realm itself seems determined to either kill her or make her remember things she's pretty sure never happened. (Except they did happen. Maybe. Possibly in another lifetime.) As Emma and Killian navigate through a landscape of shifting shadows and darker truths, they can't shake the feeling that they've played this game before—and lost. But this time might be different, if they can trust each other long enough to uncover why the underworld feels less like hell and more like a very deadly case of déjà vu.

OMG OMG OMG, I haven't read it yet but I'm so excited (especially cause I love some of your fanfics) this is a dream come true. I'm gonna read it asap! Thank you so much for the gift and take care of your health!

Hey @laianely it is I your secret Santa here with an edit of one of your favorite scenes. First off all, belated Merry Christmas and a happy new year in advance. I hope you're staying safe and that you had amazing time.

I also do apologize for the delay...its been a rough time. I however, did love working on your presents (yes plural, I'm still working on the fic and seeing if the video edit is salvageable). Hopefully they are, I'm so excited to share the fic with you asap and I'm hoping you like both the fic and the edit. I shall stop rambling now. Stay safe and happy.

Signing off with a dumb meme- captain candy cane hook

I would also like to thank @cssecretsanta2020 for hosting the event this year. It was a blast to be a part of it- can't forget my lovely Santa helper @eddisfargo either- wouldn't have been able to have planned out the plot without them. Wishing you all happy holidays and take care!

Hello my dear, Secret Santa here!

I haven't forgotten about you, I just came down with a nasty flu between preparing presents, Chritsmas dishes, and of course, your gift!

Hopefully I can send it to you this evening when Christmas visits are over and flu meds are in effect!

Until then, stay hydrated, relaxed and prepare for a last minute gift!

Hugs,

Your Secret Santa (who is ashamed for taking this long)

Oh no, take care of yourself and take as much time as you need. Your health matters the most to me. Do heal up first *sending good vibes your way* and then focus on the gift. I’ve has a series of unfortunate events with my own as well 😭. So yeah, don't you dare work on anything until you feel better (not a threat). I'll be patiently and eagerly waiting for your masterpiece. Belated merry Christmas Santa, stay hydrated and rested :))

Ho ho ho! Santa here, reporting live from the North Pole (with a Fanta in hand, naturally)!

No need to apologize for taking your time; I can tell how much thought you’ve put into your choice, and I hope the exams went well!). 🎓✨

It looks like 3 has won the toss, and I am so excited to dive into the mysterious world of the underworld (pun intended). I’ve got ideas bubbling already—rogue guides, magical traps, and just the right amount of personal revelations to keep things interesting. Rest assured, it will be all Captain Swan goodness with a happy ending, because we both know they deserve it. Also let's see if I can maybe mix this with some soul mate twist?? We shall see how cooperative my muse is!

Stay safe, stay hydrated (Santa’s orders!), and thank you for the lovely encouragement. I can’t wait to share this with you soon! 🎁

As of right now I don't think I have any more questions, but feel free to add anything you would like me to add to the story!

All the best, Your Santa 🎅✨

That sounds amazing, I'm excited to see it! Don't overwork yourself and stay healthy and happy. I'd love anything you make :))

Ho ho ho! Secret Santa here again!

Thank you for such a vibrant and detailed response—I absolutely adore your enthusiasm (and don’t worry about the delays; life gets busy, and exams are no joke!).

Now, onto the fun stuff! I’ve come up with a few ideas that hopefully hit the vibes you love. Let me know what jumps out at you, or if you want me to expand on anything! 🎁

1. Killian’s Past Comes to Light After the CS movie, Emma and Killian return to Storybrooke, but someone from Killian’s past—maybe a vengeful ally or an old flame?—follows them through the portal. This person is determined to stir up trouble, revealing secrets even Emma doesn’t know and forcing Killian to confront old mistakes. Drama, redemption, and lots of Captain Swan teamwork to save the day!

2. A Christmas Fluff-a-palooza meet Hallmark Killian and Emma are co-workers at a quirky bookstore café. Both are recovering from heartbreak in different ways: Killian trying to rebuild after losing his hand in an accident, and Emma struggling with trust issues. Through small acts of kindness (he always saves her favorite pastries (bearclaw FTW!); she fixes his broken bookshelves), they build each other up, slowly realizing they’ve found something special.

3. Underworld Redux (But Better) Emma finds herself in a mystical underworld after an accident (maybe saving her family or realm?), and Killian is the rogue guide she must rely on to find her way back. His motives seem questionable at first—does he have his own agenda? Is he truly trying to help her? Along the way, they navigate magical traps, hostile spirits, and increasingly personal revelations.

4. Captain Duckling Origin Story Picture this: Killian is a fresh-faced lieutenant (or ambitious deckhand) tasked with escorting Princess Emma on a diplomatic mission. She’s fiery and independent; he’s sharp-witted and secretly infatuated. When pirates attack, they have to work together to survive, uncovering their mutual respect (and feelings) along the way. Swashbuckling action + tender moments = chef’s kiss.

5. Soulmates with a Twist What if Emma and Killian have been destined for each other all along but never knew it? They touch a magical artifact (or cross into another realm) and start seeing flashes of their past lives—pirate escapades, modern AUs, you name it—where they always find each other. The ultimate “we’re meant to be” love story, with snippets of angsty separations and heartwarming reunions through time.

Don’t worry, Neal and August are not invited to this party.

Also, we’re going for partnerships of equals here! None of that teacher/student or step-sibling storylines here!

And even if there’s a bit of angst, it’ll only make the happy ending sweeter! No tragedy here!

Would you like me to expand on any specific idea or detail? I’m happy to tailor things further—after all, Santa loves delivering joy! 🎅✨

Dear Santa,

I am heartbroken, you've given me such lovely options and you expect me to choose 😭. I literally kid you not I've changed my mind everyday. But how are you Santa...do you want a fanta- yeah no.

Ahem so....its between 2, 3 and 4 but 5 5 5?? for me but the underworld one just seems so mysterious. I think I'll go for 3. Istg you're so creative too! I apologize for taking so long exams and me being indecisive lol. Stay safe and hydrated Santa. If you ever wanna talk or simply ho ho ho do visit!

PS: I will love anything you make so don't worry just write what you feel like writing too :)) I can't wait to see what brilliance you come up with XD.

🎄 Ahoy there! 🎄

Guess what? I’m your Secret Santa, and I’m here to whip up something awesome just for you! But hey, I’m not a mind reader, so I’ve got a few questions to help me nail it. Answer as much or as little as you want—spill the tea or just drop me some breadcrumbs!

What’s your favorite thing about Captain Swan? Are you into swashbuckling adventures, tender moments, or something else entirely?

Do you prefer your stories sprinkled with fluff, drenched in angst, or served with a side of humor? Or maybe a mix?

Any favorite tropes you adore? (Enemies-to-lovers, hurt/comfort, daring rescues... I’m all ears!)

Is there anything I should steer clear of so I don’t accidentally land us in the Underworld?

If there’s anything else that would make your gift extra perfect, don’t hesitate to share! Can’t wait to bring some holiday joy your way. 💌

Cheers! 🎁✨

Hallow Hallow!

I knew it Santa was real! See, see *points at imaginary people* Santa is gonna sue you guys for defamation. Now, now its time to put the cringe humour aside and apologize for late response (exams *sigh*). A-KNEE-WAYZ I hope you've been doing well dear Santa- your ask was such a joy to read! Now to answer!

1. This one is hard to answer. I do love the tender moments very much and swashbuckling adventures as well. Like when they went back to the past, camelot or the underworld (almost forgot the season 6 rescue). As for the tender moments I have so many favorites (mostly from season 3 and 5). If you would like me to elaborate on that I will. I don't want to overwhelm you 😭. I have a tendency to ramble.

2. So I am a happy endings girlie (loveeee fluff) and humour is just peak tehee. I don't mind angst (the emotional moments it brings are just so in the feels). Tho knock yourself out I'd love to see anything you come up with.

3. Okay so I enjoy almost all tropes i think. In CS my favorite trope is Captain Duckling (with a dash of enemies to lovers) but in modern Au's- i like friends to lovers (helping each other grow). Oh God (I'm thinking of a million of my favorite fics now 😭). I also like the soul mates trope and I love fics with a Christmas vibe too. Almost forgot the whole dark hook saga too (some of those fics were phenomenal). Basically i like everything 🤣

4. OooooO, I actually do like the idea of being in the underworld (probably not OUAT's tho lol). But yes...umm no tragedies. I also absolutely hate Neal and August and I'd appreciate it if we could avoid tropes like teacher/student or stepcest. Hope that isn't too much 😭

I also want to apologize for this response being a mess 😭 *cries in doing this during breaks*. If you want me to go in detail about anything or just have any other questions let me know. I'll try and answer as quickly as possible. Take care dear Santa- stay safe a hydrated!

Man i miss captain swan so much 😭

A CS scene rewatch is in order.

I would do anything for a reunion episode and usually i hate those types of things.

I also miss live reacting with everyone to all the cs moments. And seeing bts of the cast filming

Hey, the ACLU is getting people to send letters to your Reps to have Congress pass the No Kings Act.

This act would make constitutional amendments to ensure that even sitting presidents are held liable for their actions. That NOBODY is above the law.

Their goal is 150k messages sent and at the time of writing this they're about 2.1k off from that goal!

ACLU gives you a prefilled message that you can edit to send to make the process easier, and will send it out for you.

The Supreme Court declared that criminal law doesn’t apply when you’re Donald Trump or any other president using the powers of the office. D

This only takes a few minutes!
