Sleeping Hook Fic: From Long Sleep (updated)
I wrote this fic a long, long time ago. All the way back during season 2. Overall it was one of my favorite things Iâve ever written, but I knew that it needed some more work, and I always told myself that one day Iâd dig back into it. Finally, five years later, I did.
This was originally written after the episode where Hook took Auroraâs heart, before the following episodes (where he caught it before it went into the portal and sent Mulan back with it, where Mulan and Aurora stayed to look for Philip and Snow, Emma, Hook, and Cora went to Storybrook), so keep that in mind while reading. Now I guess it could be considered a sort of AU.
I hope anyone reading it for the first time likes it, and I hope people who read it the first time around like the work I did to fix it up and go a little deeper into the characters and their relationship.
Storybrooke was bloody awful. If Killian had known how awful it was, he might have reconsidered his plan for revenge.
And worst of all, there was no way back now.
Well⌠that wasnât quite true. There was no way back for him. There were people in town with considerable power who could reopen the portal, as dangerous as it was. But none of those people were inclined to help him.
Nobody in Storybrook was.
Considering how feared and disliked Rumpelstiltskin seemed to be by everybody, Killian had figured heâd receive a bit more goodwill for his plans to end the Dark One once and for all. But his failed attempt bought him no friends. While he might not have been the most popular and beloved person in town, the presence of Belle seemed to soften both Rumplestiltskin and the townâs opinion of him, which meant that the pirate who tried to kill him and failed in a spectacularly pathetic action wasnât going to be anyoneâs favorite person. And his other actions canceled out any remaining positive feelings the people of the town might have had for him.
One action in particular seemed to earn him a fair amount of dirty looks. Stealing the princessâs heart. Once that little piece of information came to light, everyone started looking at him with disgust and disdain. Everyone but the princess.
She didnât look at him at all.
