Author’s Note: FINALLY I HAVE RELEASED A STORY! My first Peter Pan story is finally here, so sorry for the wait! I just recently started getting back into OUAT so that’s why I wanted to write for Peter Pan and I’m getting so many ideas for him so I hope you all enjoy!
Y/N is the first and only lost girl on Neverland. How she got to Neverland she doesn’t know since she just woke up on the island but why she was taken there she does know.
Y/N is a sixteen year old girl but she didn’t have your typical teenage girl life. Her mother died when she was just eight years old. Her mother died by drowning after saving her from drowning.
She took her mother’s death hard but no one took it harder than her father. He started to drink heavily which made him emotional and physically abuse Y/N. He would yell at her by telling her that it’s her fault that he mother is dead and that she’s nothing but a fucking mistake. He’s even told her that it should’ve been her that died instead of her mother.
There would be some nights that her father would get to mad at her that he would slap her so hard it would knock her down onto the floor or knock her into the wall or another piece of furniture breaking it. Then that would make him even more angry and say that it was her fault she broke something. No matter what Y/N did, it wasn’t good enough for her father.
When Y/N woke up on Neverland she was immediately found by a boy named Felix. Of course, Felix knew that Y/N was brought by the shadow. Before Felix could take her to Peter he had already showed up. Peter immediately noticed the bruises on Y/N’s arms and a big bruise on her cheek. After introducing each other Y/N told them everything that she knew. Peter asked about her bruises and she told him. Peter knew that he couldn’t just send her back to her abusive father. She’s been through enough and if he sends her back who knows if what would happen. He could end up killing her.
Peter let her stay and let her become the first lost girl. Everyone and Y/N thought that her background was the only reason why Peter let her stay on the island but Peter had another reason.
********************
Y/N had just came back to camp after her daily morning walk she goes on. She saw Peter and Felix talking so she decided to walk over to them. “Hey guys!” Y/N said to the boys with a kind smile. “Hey Y/N.” Felix said back. “I got to go.” Peter said and walked away from them.
“Okay, why the fuck does he keep doing that!” Y/N said quickly becoming frustrated. Y/N has a good and close relationship with all the boys including Peter but recently every time she approaches him, he walks away from her. “I don’t know.” Felix shrugged. He does know why Peter keeps avoiding her but he knows he’s not the one to tell her.
“Did I do something wrong?” Y/N asked him with sadness in her eyes. “Listen Y/N, this is between you and Pan.” Felix told her. “You’re going to have to go talk to him.” Felix added which earned him a nod from her since she knew he was right.
********************
As the day went on Y/N thought about what she was going to say to Peter. She always gets nervous when she goes to talk to Peter by herself. Y/N knows that she’s starting to develop feelings for Peter which does scare her. She knows how private Peter is. She knows how he closes off certain feelings. Maybe that’s why Peter keeps running away from her. Maybe he knows that she’s growing feelings for him.
Once Y/N knew what she was going to say to Peter she made her way to Peter’s cabin. When she got to Peter’s cabin door she could feel her nerves start to pace and her heart felt like it was going to beat out of her chest. She really wanted to just run away but she knew she couldn’t so she took a deep and calming breath. Once she felt a little calmer she knocked on the door and waited. She was hoping he was in there.
When the door swung open there stood a surprised Peter. He doesn’t ever expect anyone to come to his cabin. “Y/N? What are you doing here?” Peter asked her. “I need to talk to you.” Y/N told him. “I’m busy.” Peter told her. He went to close the door but Y/N quickly stopped it with her hand. “Please Pan! It’s important.” Y/N told him in pleading tone. Peter let out a heavy sigh. He walked out of his cabin and shut the door.
“What do you need to talk to me about?” Peter asked her. “Do you hate me?” Y/N asked him which took him by surprise. She figured she would just get straight to the point. “Do I hate you? What kind of question is that?” Peter asked her with confusion in his voice. “Just please answer the question.” Y/N told him with a heavy sigh. She’s been having that question floating around her mind for what feels like forever. “No, of course I don’t hate you.” Peter answered her while shaking his head.
“Then why do you avoid me or walk away every time I approach you?” Y/N asked him with frustration in her voice. “It’s like you keep running away from me.” She added. “It’s complicated.” Peter told her looking away from her. “What? What do you mean by it’s complicated?” Y/N asked looking at him with confusion in her eyes. Peter just stayed silent since he didn’t know what to say.
“Do you want me to leave?” Y/N asked him which made him quickly look back at her. “Of course not!” Peter told her in a reassuring tone. “Then what is it? Did I do something wrong to make you run away from me?” Y/N said as her eyes started to fill with tears. Peter let out a sigh. Seeing the tears form in her eyes made him realize that he can’t keep in his secret anymore.
“I’m falling in love with you.” Peter confessed which took Y/N by surprise. “You have feelings for me?” Y/N asked in complete shock. Peter just gave her a nod. “I have feelings for you, too.” Y/N confessed to him. “You shouldn’t.” Peter told her. “What do you mean?” Y/N asked him. “Because I’m a fucking mess, Y/N.” Peter told her with a mixture of anger and frustration in his voice.
“I don’t know how to love. I just know how to cause pain to people. I hurt every person that gets close to me.” Peter told her which made her heart ache. “I can show you how to love.” Y/N told him. She went to put her hand onto his cheek but he took a step back from her.
“No.” Peter started. “You can’t. No one can.” Peter told her. He turned away from her and walked away leaving her all by herself.
********************
As days went by Y/N was now the one running away from Peter. Peter feels awful for what he said and every time he goes to apologize she walks away from him.
The lost boys were hanging out together around the camp fire. Peter was sitting by the campfire on a log. He looked over at Y/N who was sitting on a log all by herself away from everyone. Peter stood up and walked over to her.
“Y/N, can I talk to you?” Peter asked her. “No.” Y/N answered without looking at him. She just stared down at the ground. “Please Y/N, it’s really important.” Peter said to her in pleading tone. When Y/N looked up at him she saw the pleading look in his green eyes. Y/N let out a heavy sigh in defeat. “Fine.” Y/N told him standing up from her seat on the log.
Y/N followed Peter in the woods so they were alone. “I want to take you up on your offer.” Peter told her which made Y/N’s heart skip a beat. “You do?” Y/N asked him in a soft tone. “My whole goal was to not hurt you but I obviously fucked that up by ignoring you.” Peter told her. Peter took both of her hands into his and gave them a light squeeze. “I want to be with you. I want you to teach me how to love.” Peter told her as his green eyes stared into her Y/E/C eyes. “Are you sure?” Y/N asked him. She doesn’t want to pressure him into doing something he’s not comfortable with. “Does this answer your question?” Peter started.
Before Y/N could say anything Peter connected his lips with hers. Y/N immediately melted into the kiss. She’s dreamed of this moment for so long that she couldn’t believe that it was actually happening. When they released from the kiss they had to catch their breaths.
“Pan-“ Y/N started to say but he cut her off. “Please, call me Peter.” Peter told her and reconnected his lips with hers.
“No! I refuse for Peter Pan to join us at Bosko’s!”
“But dear-” Mary said, playing peacekeeper, as usual. “It is all of our birthdays.”
“A big one to.” John said, cheerfully. “Ten years!”
“Even so, I refuse and that is all there is to it!”
“Booking name?” Roxy - of Foxy and Roxy fame - asked, brightly.
“Mr Darling and the legion of the lost.” George growled. Roxy looked somewhat confused and in answer George jerked his thumb towards where Peter Pan, the Lost Boys and the rest of his traitorous family were waiting.
With considerable effort Roxy kept her face neutral and took them to their table. It was very long, so long if fact it was a miracle it fitted inside the restaurant at all. George took his place at head of the table and Peter took the other end.
“How will you be paying, Sir?” Roxy asked.
“Shillings and half-crowns.” George replied.
Roxy nodded and produced the British menu for them. George looked it over appreciably.
“Sunday dinners!” He exclaimed happily. “It’s not even Sunday! How marvellous.”
“Mother, look!” Wendy clutched her mothers arm and showed her the menu. “They have afternoon tea with scones and jam - oh, can we get one, please?”
“Afternoon tea is like cakes, yes?” Peter said, drawing shapes on the table cloth.
“Yes.” Wendy smiled at him. “You’ll like it, I promise.”

George smiled as he felt the steam rising off his sunday dinner. Chicken, Yorkshire puddings, vegetables, the whole shabang. He licked his lips and reached for his fork.
“What are those?” Slightly pointed at the older man’s plate.
George gave him a look. “Vegetables.”
The boys all made exclamations of disgust [including his own two, much to his frustration] and Peter chose that moment to say, loudly. “Vegetables suck.”
“Yeah.” Slightly pushed his plate away. “Peter’s right.”
Trying to control his temper, George said through gritted teeth. “You don’t have vegetables, you have pasta.”
Slightly paused and looked at his plate in suspicion. “No green stuff?”
“No green stuff.”
The fox boy couldn’t look more suspicious if he tried, but he speared a piece of pasta and looked at it.
“Slightly.” Peter said, sharply. “Don’t eat it, it’s not pretend.”
“It may not be pretend, but I guarantee it’s nice.” George said. He was lying, he had no idea if it was nice, but it couldn’t be to bad right? This place did have a great reputation for a reason after all.
Slightly looked torn. Not helping was that the other boys were all waiting with baited breath to see the drama.
He took a bite. It was delicious. He speared another piece and ate that to.
Peter stood up, swiped his hand over the table, causing the cup to fall on the floor, and stormed out.
Wendy immediately got up and - with hurried apologies to her parents - followed him, calling as she did so. “Peter! Peter, wait! Peter, stop!”
“What?” Peter spun round, folding his arms and glaring.
“Where are you going?”
“Anywhere!”
“But why? We were having such a lovely time-”
“What, listening to your father take my role?” Wendy must have looked confused because suddenly Peter said, in a rush of emotion. “I’m the one the boys look up to, I’m the one in charge, who tells them what to do. Like a grown-up-”
“Well, there’s more to being a grown up than telling people what to do, you know-”
The red hair scoffed and folded his arms. “Yeah, right. Anyway, what am I meant to do if I can’t look after the Lost Boys?”
“You can still look after them.” Wendy said, explaining as best as she could. “You just might need some help. You know, considering we’re technically children.”
“So are you parents in the world of toons.” Peter pointed out, a fact Wendy was hoping he wouldn’t bring up. “So what’s the difference?”
“It’s...complicated.” Wendy said, grimacing a little. “Look, I don’t feel we’re addressing the issue here, what is the big problem with Father getting Slightly to try new things?”
“We eat pretend food!” Peter said, stamping his foot. “Not real stuff, check the books, it’s there in black and white.”
“Well-” Wendy took a sharp breath. This wasn’t going to be easy but it had to be said. “-The thing is Peter, we’re Toons. And Toons age. We don’t die, but we do age. That’s why you have Toons like Mickey who are about...30? I think? So we’ve already got the whole ‘never-going-to-grow-up’ thing via that-” She stopped mid-sentence as she noticed Peter’s eyes watering.
“-But we ARE growing up, like Slightly trying new things.” He said, as he started to pace. “Trying new things is the whole way people grow up. Flying around, having adventures and imaging great stuff! That’s how you stay young forever and I’ve got to stay young forever! I’m Peter Pan!” With that he sat on the floor cross legged and sighed. “...I can’t grow up, Wendy. What am I going to do?”
The girl sighed and sat next to him. “I don’t know, Peter.” She said, simply. “I’m sorry.” He didn’t respond. “I’m gonna go back into the restaurant before my father throws a search party. Are you coming?” Still no reply. She smiled sadly. “We’ll be inside if you want to join us.” And she went back in, hoping Peter would follow her.
Summary: Even Peter Pan gets bored. But when a girl (who is more than she appears to be) washes up on Skull Rock, he might just have gotten more than he bargained for.

Dealing with Peter Pan in episode 3x05 “Good Form”
An interesting thing about this conversation between Hook and Pan: Colin has mentioned many times that he purposely has Hook make - and maintain - eye contact with everyone he speaks to, and this is clear in most of Hook’s interactions with other characters. However, with Pan, we see Hook averting his gaze throughout almost the entire conversation. It belies just how very intimidated and out of control Hook feels when dealing with this boy demon, and also illustrates just how well Colin can express his characters thoughts and feelings without saying a word.
During an already angsty conversation, Peter Pan disappears from in front of Killian and reappears directly behind him - a move that clearly startles and disturbs Killian.
A Surprising Revelation in episode 3x04 “Nasty Habits”
When David asks how Hook was able to leave Neverland before, Hook’s answer is a surprise: “Aboard my ship, which would require some form of magic to create a portal, which… I got from Pan, in a deal I don’t think he’s ready to repeat.” Hook keeps his head down as he speaks, obviously less than proud of the fact that even he couldn’t leave the island without Pan’s help.
