Hello!! I've just read your fic "The cottage" and it was amazing ♥ I simply fell in love with it and damn thank you so much for make this au happened!! Also, question for you, what's your fav line/quote from Emma; Tink and Killian? :D

Awwwww! Thank you, Nonny! I’m so glad you enjoyed The Cottage! It was such a joy to write, and I can’t wait to get it printed to add to my collection.

Man, that’s a tough one! (But thank you for the question!!)

For Emma, I love her letter to Killian where she takes him to task about his elusive behaviour:

Good Sir,

Though I do suppose gratitude is in order, not only for your services, but your continued gifts as well, I’m afraid I must insist that you refrain from such action in the future. Perhaps it was an error for me to accept your initial kindness so freely, for I fear it may have given the wrong impression.

I assure you, good sir, that I am not incapable of running my household, nor am I without the skill to provide for myself. If I have given you any indication that I am somehow destitute or devoid of such capabilities, then please allow this letter to dissuade you of such notions.

My curtness may come as a bit of a revelation, and is perhaps not entirely warranted, but I must confess that I am rather vexed by your continued elusiveness. You have declared a measure of affection in both your actions and words, yet I have not even merited the introduction of your person or your name.

As my neighbor, I wish for ours to be a close and amiable association; one that is established on equal footing and regard. When these terms become agreeable to you, I shall be more than happy to receive your gestures of neighborly affection once more. For then I will know the authenticity of their intent is more than simple charity, of which I have no need or desire.

Respectfully,

Miss Swan.

For Tink, I always giggle when I think of her reaction to their kiss: “I can’t believe that actually worked!”

For Killian, I go back to one of the first lines of dialogue I wrote for him, even though he didn’t say it until Ch 13: “Enchantment exists in your very skin, Swan. In each strand of your golden hair, right down to your bones and into the deepest dredges of your being. But so does mortality.” He swallowed heavily and breathed deeply in preparation for the first of many confessions he owed her. “If you do not return to the Mortal realm by sunrise, you’ll be trapped in the Enchanted realm for all of eternity.”

Your turn, Nonny!
