And we are back everyone!!! It’s time for the third wave roundup!

Can y'all believe that we are already here? I can’t! What a glorious summer it has been!! And I cannot believe that it’s over!!! Over, as in we won’t have any more new fic dropping for this years event, but all of the unfinished MC’s will continue to post until they are complete, so don’t worry, we still have a lot to look forward to! 

If you haven’t had a chance yet to read the fabulous offerings this summer, you can find the entire collection from both last year’s event and this years here.

We had so many wonderful fics and art drop since the first of August and we also had updates for fics that dropped earlier in the summer. The first half of this post will cover the third wave fics and art, then we will feature the fics from earlier in the summer that updated in August. So without further ado, here we gooooooo!!!!!

@courtorderedcake kicked us off this month with her offering of Hallow with her own accompanying artwork for each chapter found here: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Rated E with 7 chapters so far.

"The Goblin King was prepared to host the Darkness, stealing Fae women away to their corrupted lands underneath the ground as concubines. The Darkness chose another in his stead, but not before this selected vessel enacted a devastating attack in its vengeance, revealing its hatred & rage. The battle was a lesson the old kings had forgotten; never underestimate an opponent. Many more lives were lost as they razed over any who dared defy The Goblin King's will. Only the pure love of our rulers united in matrimony, breaking the Vorpal Dagger, sealed the darkness and the Goblin menace away. The light flourished under their fair rule, and the queen bore a child as pure as moon beams, swan feathers, and starlight. They lived happily ever after, and shall be written in history as Heroes for All Time."

This is the history Princess Emma memorizes from the day she is born, paraded about and presented only with the highest protection. The palace is a cage she wishes to escape, desperately. Not careful what wishes she made, Emma discovers history is written by the victors - The Dark One has an entirely different version of the events that took place.

@searchingwardrobes posted Until the Day Breaks and the Shadows Flee with artwork by @hollyethecurious. Rated M with 8 chapters. COMPLETE

Every night, she traces the contours of his body as Killian whispers words of love against her skin. But can Princess Emma ever be fully happy with a husband who only comes to her in utter darkness? A Captain Swan AU of the Roman myth of Cupid and Psyche.

@pirateherokillian posted the prologue to Wanderer Redeemed with artwork coming soon by @tennant-the-tigger. Rated T.

Emma, Goddess of Hope and Happy endings, finds herself in need and her only real chance of ever getting what she desires comes in the form of Killian Jones, a shunned outcast of their kind. A Modern-Day Gods Captain Swan AU written for CSSNS.

@thejollyroger-writer gave us her third offering for the event in Falling Paws Over Heels with artwork by @captainsjedi. Rated T one shot.

Captain Killian Jones -- the notorious Captain Hook -- has heard all kinds of stories during his travels around all of the realms. But the story that has always interested him the most is that of the enchanting sorceress of Storybrooke, a small town in the Enchanted Forest's Misthaven, the sorceress who takes men to her bed, but will only give her heart to the man who befriends her cat. Will Killian be the one who finally has what it takes?

@ilovemesomekillianjones gave us her one shot The Soldier, the Witch, and the Dragon with artwork 1 2 by @spartanguard. Rated M.

When soldier Killian Jones shows up on witch Emma Swan's doorstep, two worlds will collide. He will learn of worlds and wonders he never imagined possible and she will learn that true love might just be in the cards for her. Witches, Dragons and Magic, Oh My! A CS story for the 2019 Captain Swan Supernatural Summer event.

@whimsicallyenchantedrose gave us the prologue to her LOTR inspired Until the Stars Are All Alight, with artwork by @clockadile. Rated T

CS LOTR au: When Emma Swan steals a yellow Volkswagen Beetle, she has no idea it will lead her toward an adventure filled with danger and intrigue, sacrifice and a love stronger than anything she could imagine. Tasked with bringing the Savior home, the elf, Killian Jones of Misthaven travels to the Land Without Magic. Can he convince Emma to fulfill her destiny before the Dark One regains power and takes over all of the Enchanted Forest?

@teamhook posted Rionnag Dubh Dorcha (Dark Blue Star) with artwork by @hollyethecurious. Not rated.

It is said that evil is not born but made. This is how an act of kindness is twisted into a story about revenge. Emma and Killian are childhood friends until a tragedy separates them will another reunite them.

@eastwesthomeisbest dropped artwork to go with Roses (Tam lin) by  @courtorderedcake, coming soon.

And now for all the fics that have updated since the first of August!! Including one update from last years event!
