Killian (Indiana) Jones?

Alright, love! After a 5min sprint- with at least the first two of those min spent staring at the doc- I got 2 sentences… and then I got another ask for the same fic from @frankensteins-mt-dew , so I will give you both everything I’ve got on the doc!

The jungle dripped with humidity as the tall man who was undoubtedly the leader pushed through the next tangle of vines and branches on the way to a cave that held the object of his desire.

Two men followed him- one plainly nervous, betrayed by the way his gaze darted around the jungle and the small flinches whenever the cries of animals concealed within the greenery reached them. The other was a native, and when the first man stopped for a moment, mopping his sweat covered brow, he approached with a chuckle.

“Not used to the heat and humidity of Columbia, eh, Dr. Jones? Aren’t you glad you brought me along…” The smug smirk on his face made Dr. Killian Jones roll his eyes in response.

“I’m fine,” he deadpanned, “I can assure you. I’ve been in jungles far worse than this. You just stay close.

Thanks for playing, y’all!

So, like, help? Um, I think I might need someone to explain demisexuality to me because, like, I thought it was normal that I don't experience sexual attraction much??? Like, I know I'm not ace, but there's only been maybe four different (real) people I've ever bedn sexually attracted to, and one of them was my boyfriend at the time... is this normal???

The Rescue 👀

I had a much easier time on this ine than the other, babe! Thanks!!! And I was very happy with what I got in this sprint, so I’m gonna give you everything!

Killian took one last huge bite of scrambled eggs and swallowed a mouthful of coffee as he and his partner Robin ran for their fire-rescue truck. As the two paramedics on shift at the firehouse, they were both needed on the scene. David, Will, and Killian’s brother Liam were right behind them on their way to the ladder truck the dispatcher had called for.

Sirens screamed as the two trucks sped for the scene of the accident. The morning rush hour was in full swing and it was a nightmare trying to get halfway across the bridge to where they could see the jackknifed tractor trailer.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💗

Awwwwww!!! Thank you so much, my dear!!! And VERY sorry for the late reply… it has been A WEEK…

Five favorite fics… have to agree with Joni… that’s hard… I’ll probably have to take a page out of her playbook, too, and have some honorable mentions…

In no particular order…

The State of Emergency series- SoE was the second fic I ever wrote, inspired by the Tommy Lee Jones movie Volcano. At the time it was a pretty huge undertaking, and ended up being almost 18k words long! All the fics were soooo much fun to write, even with the addition of another natural disaster in Code White. I was just super happy with how the whole thing turned out.

Of Darkness, Vampires, and Soulmates- This fic is one of my favorites because it was the first time I wrote something for my own event, the CS Supernatural Summer, and because of HOW HARD it was to write. It was the first time I wrote something COMPLETELY out of my own head- no inspiration whatsoever other than a vision of vampire Killian turning Emma- and it took me around seven full months of actively writing to complete it. It was also a lot of fun to include several characters that aren’t often used in fic. @hollyethecurious and @wistfulcynic were very nearly co-writers with me with everything they did to help me finish it.

In the Viper’s Den was written for the @cshistfic event. It’s one of my favorites because I think I did some of my very best writing in it. I’ve also been told by several people that it’s their favorite of my fics. That the action and the romance was very well balanced. It was inspired by the movie Shining Through staring Melanie Griffith and Michael Douglas. The movie is really great and I highly recommend it, but I was especially proud of two extra scenes I included that weren’t even suggested in the movie.

A Family Affair series. Probably not fair that a big series is among my favorites, but sorry, not sorry… I am soooooo STINKIN proud of these fics!!! Inspired by a romance series by Nora Roberts I read in high school, this series tells the love stories of 4 siblings, triplet sisters Emma, Regina, and Ruby, and their older brother David. I’ve had several folks ask for Regina and David’s story as CS fics, but I’m too happy with the stories as they are. And I have a Christmas addition in this universe just waiting for December to get here.

A Christmas Surprise was from a prompt by @gingerpolyglot return from military deployment. I still think it’s one of the cutest things I’ve ever written. It also has an addition ready and waiting for December to get here- the original fic in Killian’s pov and then going forward to their wedding day.

I know that’s five, but I have to include A Mistress to No One, bday fic for @hollyethecurious this year. There are so many things I love so much about this fic that make it a true favorite of mine rather than an honorable mention, not the least of which it’s based on my favorite of the Bridgerton series.

And now to the Honorable Mentions…

Cave Cruises, Cabin Capers, & Cracked Craniums: affectionately nicknamed CC3, this was a collaborative fic with @jrob64 @snowbellewells and @whimsicallyenchantedrose based on our girls vacay to Pigeon Forge earlier this summer.

Out of the Fire, Into Tomorrow: bday fic for @snowbellewells last year. Bar wench Emma Swan meets pirate captain Killian Jones and her life is changed forever.

Dream a Little Dream: bday fic for @jrob64 last year set in the Fairytales universe written by @kymbersmith-90. One of both mine and Joni’s very favorite fics.

Thank you so much for the ask, darlin!!!

To spread the self love, I’m gonna tag everyone mentioned above and anyone else who wants to do it!!!

K, I, L, A & N for the bookish survey!

Hahahahahaha!!! Saw what you did there, babe!!! Thanks for playing!!!

K Kinds of Books You Won't Read

I’m not a big fan of science fiction

I Important Moments of Your Reading Life

That’s a very interesting question… I would say two important moments in my reading life was when I read The Lord of the Rings the first time and when I started reading fanfiction. For LOTR, I read them the first time after I saw Fellowship and Two Towers in theaters. I loved both movies so much that I couldn’t stand to see such wonderful movies and have no knowledge whatsoever of the source material. And then, of course, I was introduced to fanfiction in the spring of ‘16, and I’ve barely and only occasionally emerged from that rabbit hole since.

L Longest Book You've Read

Hmmmm… really not sure. I don’t pay attention to that kind of thing. I do know though, that The Mammoth Hunters by Jean M. Auel, Book 3 in The Earth’s Children series and the unabridged version of The Stand by Stephen King are both over 1000 pgs.

A Author You've Read The Most Books From

Probably Stephen King. I was introduced to his writing my freshman year in college and proceeded to devour everything he’d written. By the time our first child was born in ‘97, I’d read almost everything he’d written up to that point, somewhere in the neighborhood of 20-25 books.

N Number of Bookcases You Own

Well, we actually have an entire wall of built in bookcases in our den, but if we’re talking portable bookcases that will go with me if I ever move out of my house, 5.

Thanks again for playing, babe!

Send me a bookish ask

[kmomof4]

🥺 😈 🦅 🎉 💔 for the writer asks!

Well, hello there, babe! Thanks for the ask, even if I'm late answering!

🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?

Tender moments. Real, emotional moments. And that can be in a character's head, between two characters, or more.

😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?

Playfully mean... Not quite sure what that means... @jrob64 would argue there wasn't anything playful about the mean things I've done in my fics...

The meanest I've ever been is in the fic Of Darkness, Vampires, and Soulmates. It's a tale of soulmates through the ages. In other words, reincarnation. But to be reincarnated, you have to die first, and there was quite a bit of that that was very mean and I got the loudest screams for.

🦅 Do you outline fics or fly by the seat of your pants?

Outline, outline, outline. I have to have a whole story in my head- beginning, middle, end- before I'll start making notes on it. Well, I take that back... I do have a couple of docs with a beginning and end, but no middle... but they're languishing anyway, so I don't really count them... But I won't start WRITING something unless I have a beginning, middle, and end. And since I usually make my notes way in advance of actually writing, I've got to have the outline so I know where I was planning to go with it.

🎉 What leads you to consider a fic a success?

Honestly? Posting it... that's not to say, however, that I don't care about likes, kudos, and reblogs. I VERY MUCH do. It's just that I have such a hard time writing in the first place, and as a rule, I don't post anything that isn't finished, that just getting it finished and out there, to me, is a HUGE accomplishment and I consider it a success.

💔 Is there a fic of yours that broke your heart?

I can't think of an entire fic that broke my heart, although I've def written some VERY heartbreaking scenes. Right, @jrob64 ?

Thanks again for the ask, darlin!!!

Send me an emoji ask!

[kmomof4]

I'd love to hear about Scoundrel... Or a Gentleman... and part two of A Christmas Surprise :D

Thank you so much for the ask, babe!

Scoundrel... Or a Gentleman is inspired by Francesca Bridgerton's story. When I read it back in February, one of the first things that I put in Discord was "He is a RAKE and a SCOUNDREL and he has BLACK HAIR..."

"AND HE'S BEEN PINING AFTER HER FOR YEARS!!!!"

And that was all it took... I plan to start writing on this one sometime this summer, so hopefully it'll be ready to drop by August or September? In the meantime, here's the opening paragraph, or summary, if you will...

There is a moment in every man’s life in which his future becomes clear. A turning point of sorts. The moment when he becomes a man, when he leaves the irresponsibility and temerity of youth behind and turns his eyes to the future. A future that he’d never allowed himself to think about before. Unfortunately, that moment came for Killian Jones when he first laid eyes on Emma Nolan, at a supper celebrating the imminent marriage between herself and Killian’s brother Earl Liam Jones.

Part 2 of A Christmas Surprise is finished, betaed, and ready to drop on December 15. I loved the first part so much and last November as I was traveling with my family, I got an idea that would allow me to flesh out the rest of Emma and Killian's story that I'd summarized when I responded to a comment on the fic on ao3. Starting with Killian hiding in the box before surprising Alice, I wrote the reunion from Killian's POV. From there, I told the rest of their story, all the way to Emma and Killian's wedding day. I so hope y'all enjoy it when it drops!!! Here is a little sneak peek to whet your appetite.

“Oh, would you look at that,” Liam called jovially, pointing at them, then up to the top of the doorway where they stood.

Killian looked up and immediately felt his cheeks flame. He glanced at Emma, her countenance still directed to the greenery hanging above them, her jaw hanging open slightly. When she looked at him, bashful but pleased surprise was all over her face. He couldn’t believe he’d forgotten Liam and Elsa’s habit of hanging mistletoe in the doorway to the kitchen. 

It was a tradition that had begun when they were dating. Liam had Elsa over for dinner in his apartment, and when he started bringing the dishes he’d prepared for their meal from the kitchen to the table, Elsa jumped up to help him. Each time they passed each other in the doorway, they’d kiss, so when Christmas rolled around, they decided it was the perfect place to hang the mistletoe. And it had hung there every year since.

Elsa couldn’t disguise her glee when she looked over at them. “Go on, Killian,” she urged. “You can’t break tradition.” Everyone in the room was now staring at them, with the kids exchanging furtive glances before joining together in only a moderately loud chant kiss kiss kiss. Killian glanced at Alice and Henry, taking in their smiling faces before turning back to Emma. 

He leaned in close, never taking his eyes off hers. They sparkled with undisguised anticipation, but he had to make sure she was agreeable before doing anything else, no matter what the members of the peanut gallery wanted.

“Are you alright with this, Emma?”

Her smile widened even more. “Yes, Killian,” she whispered.

“We’ll save a real kiss for when we don’t have an audience watching,” he whispered huskily, before brushing his lips against the corner of her mouth. He pulled back and was thrilled to see a deep blush on her cheeks and wide smile on her lips.

Thanks again for the ask!
