Hello, hello, hello!
Darkest Winter last week, Perilous Harbor this week. What a time to be productive, eh? This chapter was mostly finished but needed most of the encounter at the end of the chapter after the last divider, and I wound up knocking it out in two hours over a lunch break and a slow work afternoon which was fortuitous! With this, we only have four chapters left until this story is complete, and I'm so excited for it to finally be out in the world in its completed form. Now that I'm seeing how close we are to the finish line, I'm super motivated to keep going and to keep writing (especially since a large part of the next chapter was written roughly 4 years ago in preparation for this!) so hopefully the last three updates will come quicker than the previous ones.
Onto notes for this chapter:
This chapter is 8,353 words long. I believe this is the longest I've ever left a single chapter in its edited form. I'm sorry if that's super overwhelming for some readers! After working with two betas for this update, we all three agreed that there was really no good place to cut this chapter that wouldn't ruin the pacing and sense of urgency I wanted to set given that the events below occur over the pace of a single day. I want you to feel as overwhelmed as poor Killian so that you can empathize a little better and my betas did agree that this was best, so I left it uncut. No worries if you need more than one sitting to complete it!
Speaking of betas, HUGE thank you to @xarandomdreamx and @ultraluckycatnd for the beta work! @ultraluckycatnd has beta'd a LARGE portion of this fic over the years so extra appreciation for sticking around and helping me out!
If you didn't see notes on my Darkest Winter update, I have begun serious work on publishing my book and have had to take a step back and re-evaluate how many fics I can continue with. I will be finishing out Perilous Harbor and continuing Darkest Winter and A Dangerous Game, but anything else under my profile has been abandoned for the time being :( Maybe once Perilous Harbor is complete and I begin querying agents I'll have a bit of downtime to pick a couple of things back up, but for now, don't expect any updates for those titles.
As always, HUGE shout out to @wefoundloveunderthelight for the AMAZING art for this fic. I’m still amazed that someone would do that for anything I’ve written
Also apologies, there are some weird formatting things happening when I copied the chapter over and I'm not sure why they keep popping back up after I fixed them...so enjoy the extra spaces I guess?
Again, thank you so much for sticking with this story since it first came out in 2019. It's officially been FIVE YEARS since I first published my first creative work to the Internet with chapter 1 of this story, and I've appreciated every single hit and comment and kudo and reblog that you've left for me. It really motivates me, and has ultimately helped push me to writing my own original stories and taking the leap to publishing and hopefully becoming an author. I love all of you.
If you’d like to be added to my tags list for future updates on any of my fics, please DM me! I’d love to add you :)
Summary: Fulfilling the prompt from karlyfr13s - Smutty CS notion: sweet duckling Princess Emma stumbles on Dark Hook and is too intrigued for her own good…there are some things she just won’t tell Queen Snow 😉
A/N: Soooooo I meant to post this sooner. At first I put it off a little because I wanted to have more of chapter 5 written first. And well... I did figure out some notes of where I want to go with it, but I haven't really touched the doc since—between work, life, lack of focus, and general exhaustion these days. But I want to work on it again, I just... can't seem to get anywhere with writing lately. So I'm not waiting anymore, I'm not gonna keep you guys waiting longer, and I'm hoping that posting this chapter will get me back into the swing of writing it again.
Thank you again to @karlyfr13s for the original prompt. And a huge shoutout and lots of love to @veryverynotgoodwrites for continuing to beta this fic, for being an amazing friend (and fic cheerleader), and for getting me, helping me, and encouraging me to keep going. ❤️❤️❤️
——
As soon as Emma stepped through the door to his quarters when she at last returned to his ship, the Dark One spun her around and slammed her against it, pressing his chest to her back as he grabbed a fistful of her hair and scraped his teeth along the side of her neck, sinking them into her flesh and laving over the mark with his tongue as he rutted against the curve of her ass. It was as if insatiable desire had completely consumed him, his actions and mannerisms already rougher than they had been even while he’d had her restrained in his bed. Emma shook her head to clear it as her mind tried to wander into much more sinister territories.
“Captain?” she questioned softly, the heightened pitch of her voice surely noticeable as she shivered at his touch and the uncertain thoughts it brought forth.
Tightening his grip, he tugged her golden locks and turned them toward the table in the center of the room, a wave of his hook swiping away the items on its surface with a quick burst of air. As paper floated away and metal clattered to the floor, the Dark One harshly bent her over the edge. Emma reached out to stop her face from hitting the hard wood, but the Dark One still managed to press her cheek against it before releasing his hold on her hair with a shove.
“You’ve been hiding things from me, little wench,” the Dark One growled as he lifted her skirts in the crook of his hook and gave her bare ass a firm slap. “You didn’t tell me you had magic.” He swatted her again, his handprint already turning bright red on her skin.
“I figured you’d already known,” Emma said breathlessly. “You always know.”
“I suppose perhaps I should have,” he said, “given your pedigree. The power of the queen and king’s true love must have been bursting inside you from birth.”
“Mhmm. But it didn’t seem relevant for… this.” She gasped as he hit her again before massaging the raw flesh with a tight grip, almost apologetically. Almost.
“Not relevant?” he scoffed, his hand sliding lower toward the apex of her thighs, finding traces of arousal already beginning to drip from her core as he rubbed along her folds. “Do you not know what magic can do for you? What more it can make you feel?”
“I—what do you m—”
The Dark One interrupted her with his hand on her throat and his hook against her stomach, pulling her back to his chest before guiding both her arms to wrap behind his neck.
“Ohh, Princess, let me show you how much more you’re capable of.” His touch glided down her sides, and he held her in his arms as he lowered his lips to suck a mark over her pulse point. “I want you to take this off,” he murmured against her skin, catching her hands when they moved to the ties at the front of her dress and returning them instead to the nape of his neck. “Not like that, love. With your magic. You’ve seen me do it.” He teased her through her skirts, running the curve of his hook along the crease of her covered thigh, and gods, she wanted to feel it on her clit. “Picture your dress somewhere else, anywhere else, and set it there in your mind. You can do it.”
Emma concentrated carefully, which was not an easy feat while the Dark One continued to brand her flesh with his lips and teeth. Pinching her eyes closed, she imagined him lifting it over her head and discarding it. It wasn’t until she felt his grin against her spine and his hand between her legs that she reopened her eyes with a start. She turned her head to find her dress draped neatly over the chair at the head of the table, right where she’d envisioned him placing it.
“See?” He hummed along her shoulder as he pulled her tighter against him. She’d never object to his chest hair brushing against her back, realizing the peek at his deep neckline wasn’t quite enough and closing her eyes again until the rest tickled her too. She could feel his chest rumble lightly as he chuckled. “Very good, eager lass,” he said, thrusting against her bare ass to let her know just how successful she was in baring him as well.
The Dark One teased at her entrance until she welcomed his fingers into her tight heat, making them slick with her arousal as he thrust and curled them inside her. He had no trouble finding the spot that made her knees buckle beneath her and left her leaning against him for support, already an expert in the subject of her body.
“Take this feeling and let your magic mingle with it, Emma,” he guided. “You’ve such light magic in you. Let it lift you.”
Emma kept her eyes shut, focusing only on what he was making her feel. She anchored her hands in his hair, tugging dark tufts as she laced her fingers through it and held on as if it were the only thing keeping her upright. An ease suddenly washed over her as she chased her high, and she found herself taking his instruction quite literally. She glanced down to see her feet no longer on the floor but floating above it. Bending her knees, she locked her legs behind him to keep herself in place as her body instinctively bowed away from his touch while her mind wanted nothing more.
“Please, Dark One,” Emma practically sobbed, more overwhelmed than ever and yet not quite there. “Killian, I need—”
“Tell me, darling,” he growled, dragging his teeth against her jaw before nipping at the shell of her ear. “Tell me what you need, or take it yourself.”
Emma couldn’t think, couldn’t speak, she needed him to just know. “Please,” she whispered, a tear forming in the corner of her eye as his hand worked her hard and fast, though it still wasn’t enough. I need your cock, she wanted to beg, the words trapped on the tip of her tongue as it pressed against the barrier of her teeth. She knew he’d challenge her to take it again, knew he’d hold back until she pushed herself, and so take it she did. She tipped her head back and sent a rush of air with it, coaxing his cock to stand at attention at exactly the angle she wanted and eliciting a deep groan from low in the Dark One’s belly as she sank down on him.
“Fuck yes, Princess,” he gritted as he met her thrust for thrust, his fingers finally slipping from her as his cock took their place. Raising his hand to Emma’s breast, the Dark One kneaded her soft flesh, drawing small, sweet gasps from her lips as he rolled and pinched her nipple while his hook began an expert assault on her clit. He nuzzled her neck and traced as much of her skin as he could with his mouth as he praised her all the while. “There’s a good little wench. Yes. Take it, Emma. Feel as you’ve never felt before. Very good. Fuck.”
Elated cries of “Yes! Yes!” echoed through the room, and neither could be sure which of them said any given one as they desperately encouraged each other.
“Killian. Captain, please. Yes, Killian—” His name poured from her lips as her release soon poured on his cock. She arched her back almost inhumanly and rode him with abandon as her magic kept her aloft. The lamplight flickered as the flames crackled and surged with the waves of her orgasm.
The Dark One’s eyes were also ablaze as he relished the effects of her magic at the height of her pleasure, a sense of pride behind them as he watched her writhe. As he finally eased her down from her high, her feet landing gently on the floor, he held her while she struggled to steady herself on uneasy legs.
“Easy, love,” he cooed. Scooping her into his arms, he carried her to the bed and set her on the mattress. “You’re amazing, Emma,” he praised, placing a kiss on her forehead, “you really are.”
“That was amazing,” she sighed, unable to help the smile that spread across her face at his compliment. A blush flushed her cheeks a soft pink and spread down her body as he scanned her in awe. She turned to lay on her side and shifted closer to the wall to give him more room as he settled next to her and mirrored her position.
“That was just the beginning of what magic can do for you,” the Dark One grinned. He rested his chin on his palm and caressed her side with the curve of his hook, lazily brushing it along her skin, leaving chills in its wake.
“And the beginning of our fun, I see,” Emma assessed as she glanced down at his straining cock still wet with her arousal. “You haven’t—”
The Dark One stopped her hand with a nod and a puff of red smoke as it reached for him, guiding her arm back to drape over her stomach.
“We’ve plenty of time for that, darling,” he soothed, though the pain in his voice revealed his struggle to control himself. “Wielding so much power can be draining when you’re not used to it yet. You’ll be needing your rest if we’re to continue your... training, of sorts.”
“Fine.” Emma raised her hand and stroked his shoulder instead, pulling him closer to her and snuggling against him as her fingers inched toward his spine to tenderly rub his back. She could feel his cock nudging her as she shifted, and she rocked into him, subtly at first until he caught on and let out a hearty chuckle.
“Rest, Emma,” he ordered, stilling her with his hook at her hip. She rolled her eyes at him, but he was right—she was tired.
As he watched her slowly succumb to the siren song of sleep, pressed to his chest as they rest in each other’s embrace, the Dark One felt an urge to utter words he never thought he’d want to say again, but he knew it was far too soon. He chose instead to kiss her forehead once more and mutter, “My insatiable Princess,” with a fondness he almost hoped would convey the thought just the same.
—/—/—
Emma awoke slowly, gently roused from her sleep by a familiar, wonderful feeling. She wondered at first if she were still inside her dream, because she opened her eyes only to find herself in complete darkness, the oh-so-innocent image of the Dark One’s head between her legs making for a very pleasant slumber and a very wet Emma. But as her brows furrowed and she felt herself moving her hips, her hands darted downward to meet soft hair, and the devilish chuckle against her sensitive skin told her for certain that her current experience was real.
“Hello, Princess,” the Dark One greeted with a deliberate lick along her folds, flicking her clit with the tip of his tongue. “Did you have a good rest?” he asked with another skilled pass. “Though you clearly weren’t resting in your mind, were you? Naughty girl.”
Emma shook her head in response, a mischievous smirk forming on her face before it quickly turned into a pout as she clenched her fists and tugged his hair.
“Why can’t I see?”
“You’re blindfolded, love,” he explained, “because I need you to focus on what you feel and only on that. That’s the essence of what magic is—a feeling, a way to channel your emotions into something that can give you what you need, if you’re willing to let it. I want you to let it.”
“Yes, Captain.”
“Mmm, I do love when you address me like that. But you should claim your power, Emma. There’s no need for formal address when you’re the one who should demand that respect.”
“Well, you just called me ‘Emma.’”
“Because you like it when I do,” the Dark One quipped, placing a kiss just above where he’d been licking. “I can tell it does something to you when I say your name.” He peppered a few more kisses along her inner thigh before sucking her flesh between his teeth and worrying it as she gasped and held herself steady. “And I must admit, I enjoy hearing you say mine. Few people have even heard it, let alone dare to speak it, but you say it so sweetly while you’re falling apart for me.”
“Then make me fall apart again and you shall hear it,” Emma challenged, canting her hips in invitation. “Touch me. Please.”
“As you wish.”
Emma could sense his smile as he said it and wondered if he’d play his tricks on her again. She rocked her hips gently as he nuzzled her clit in an effort to make him tend to where she needed him.
The Dark One hummed, acknowledging her impatience. Tucking his arms under her thighs, he locked them in place as his mouth returned to her flesh. He positively devoured her, licking and sucking relentlessly, dragging his teeth and tongue against her before plunging back into her heat with wicked flicks. As her back arched, he pressed the flat of his hook against her stomach to hold her still. Her feet thumping brutally against his back as she thrashed in his hold only made him increase the pace, matching it with his fingers as they slipped through her sodden folds and teased at her ass, daring to peek inside before retreating and gently prodding it again and again.
“Fuck. Fuck!” Emma cried, digging in her heels hard enough to bruise him. His arm tightened around her leg as he slid his hook lower and rubbed rapid circles over her clit. Emma jumped as a loud boom of thunder cracked and rumbled in time with their rhythm. The waves lapped at the sides of the boat as he lapped at her arousal, swaying the vessel as Emma writhed on the bed, her eyes slammed shut in concentration regardless of the blindfold as she chased her release.
“That’s it, Emma! That’s it!” The Dark One growled praises and encouragements between his skilled attacks. The storms outside raged on as Emma faced her own hurricane of feelings, both growing stronger the closer she became to finding what she sought.
“Killian. Fuck yes, Killian, please—”
“You’re so fucking beautiful like this, darling. So strong, so perfect. Embrace it, Emma. Feel it.” His fingers replaced his tongue as he thrust them inside her and curled, mercilessly hitting the soft spot that sent her reeling every time. “Yes, Princess. That’s it.”
Emma screamed his name as he sucked her clit and she came hard on his hand and chin. He fucked her through it with his fingers, joined once more by his tongue, as she soaked both as well as the sheets beneath her. As Emma finally settled back onto the mattress, slowly regaining control of her labored breaths, so too settled the sky and sea, a sated sense of calm washing over everything. With the way she’d aggressively pulled at his hair, Emma wondered briefly if he’d have any left on his head when she finally let it go.
“Bloody fucking brilliant, that was,” the Dark One proudly marveled, kissing his way up her body as he climbed onto the bed and held himself above her, gently removing her blindfold.
“Did I—” Emma’s eyes widened as she began to realize exactly what had happened “—was that me?”
“Aye,” he affirmed. “Isn’t it exhilarating? You’ve no idea the power you possess.” His lips teased hers as he spoke, making a playful attempt to catch one between them. But Emma didn’t share his excitement, and she turned away from him, shaking her head.
“No, it’s—it’s terrifying!” Emma’s breathing quickened as she grasped the magnitude of the effects her magic had on their surroundings, fearing the potential devastation she could have caused in her moments of bliss. “What just happened, what I just felt, I couldn’t control it.”
“But you will, my dear. I’ll teach you how.” The Dark One shifted his weight to one side and raised his hand to caress her cheek, but Emma planted her palms on his shoulders and pushed him away as she scrambled back toward the pillows behind her.
“No,” she said firmly as she got to her feet. “I’d never lost control before you. Whatever this is, whatever you’re doing to me, I don’t want it.”
“You sought me out,” he sneered, offended by her accusation, “and I’ve done nothing to you but give you pleasure.” Standing as well, the Dark One closed the space Emma had created between them. “This magic is a part of you, love, whether you like it or not. And if you haven’t noticed, I’m a fan of every part of you, magic included.”
“You’re darkening it or something.” Emma was frantic now, doing everything she could to distance herself from him as she backed away in circles around the table in the small room while he closely kept her pace. “You—you have to be. I didn’t… I can’t—”
“I would never, ever do that to you. You have to know that.” He reached for her again but her hands shot out toward him too, paralyzing him in a swirling cloud of white. “I trusted you. Perhaps more than I should have, because I thought you trusted me too.”
“I thought I was starting to,” Emma glanced at her shaking hands, wringing them desperately in an effort to calm them down, “but you’ve made it so that I can no longer trust myself either.”
“Emma, please—”
“No, Dark One.” Emma looked at him with fear in her eyes and tried to ignore the pleading in his as it broke her more than she’d ever admit. “I can’t take the chance that I’m wrong about you,” she said as she retrieved her dress and slipped it on over her head. She didn’t want to hurt him, she didn’t, but if he were helping her put others at risk, then she had no choice but to run far away and fast. Hesitating at the door, she whispered, “I’m sorry,” before she took off in the direction of home, overwhelmed with a million different emotions as he futilely called after her.
When Emma couldn’t listen anymore, she waved her hand and found herself in her room again. She collapsed on the floor, her chest heaving and tears welling in her eyes as she struggled to control her racing mind and pounding heart.

How long have you been in the CS/OUAT fandom?
Since season 1 aired
What drew you to this event?
I was watching ADOW season 2 and it just clicked that it would be the perfect CS crossover. Protective!Matthew reminded me of protective!Killian - a trope I absolutely adore in fic - and I knew I had to write it.
If you would like to share a snippet/sneak peek/summary of your fic or artwork, please use the space below.
All I've done so far for the fic is the plot/outline, but it's basically going to be how Emma (a witch) and Killian (a vampire) meet and fall in love despite the Covenant, and their battle to defend that love with the entire world of creatures against them.
For our artists: What kind of art do you like to do? Picsets, painting, digital, etc? Feel free to give as much info as you like.
Iiiiiii am not an artist of this type :)
For our betas: Who/what have you beta'd before, or is this your first time? Feel free to give as much info as you like.
I've beta'd for @hollyethecurious for A Scandal at Swansdown with Cathy ( @ultraluckycatnd ), which was super lovely. Right now I think I'm the only beta for Untie My Silhouette by @myfearless-love as well. My specialty is beta'ing for non-native English speakers since I'm an ESL English teacher, but I've done beta work for about 6 or 7 different people, whether it was entire stories or just a chapter or two or even just concept checking outlines.
What are you looking forward to most about participating in this event?
I'm super excited to have people involved in my story and to be really involved in someone's story for an event! I think that'll be fun for me since I've always been so secretive about Perilous Harbor in the past.
Vampires and witches, oh my! Looking forward to Catherine’s fic dropping on July 4th!

Ooooooooh, my loves!
Look how late this is! Isn’t it lovely?
Kidding, my apologies. But I did have to take care of a cat with parasites 24/7 this last week (I mean, when I say poop everywhere, I mean it) and I got a FUCKING GOOD JOB?! I’ve been unemployed since March so I’m stoked, I literally was on my last $100 and now I’m paid over $20 an hour.
Now, this job is remote, but I have to train on site for a couple of weeks, so my schedule for posting may go to shit. Once training is over, I’ll get back to posting on Friday/Saturday/weekends! I’ll have the time once I’m not working until 2 am.
I hope you guys enjoy this! This is fluffy and angsty in preparation for the Major Drama Moment that shall happen in the next chapter, and the Dramatic Fallout that will happen in the one after that :)
Prepare your souls. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Hello, hello! I hope you like long chapters lol
This was a fun one - the length and development in this chapter was really challenging, but ultimately necessary to keep up the pacing. One of my goals with this fic is learning to write stories over short timelines, and since this story is meant to take place over 8-10 weeks, I want it to feel like every chapter comes with at least one change or significant event. It’s been very fun yet somehow incredibly stressful trying to ensure that I’m hitting my goal and also remaining consistent in wrangling plot bunnies.
Huge shoutout to @caught-in-the-filter and @xarandomdreamx for the beta on this chapter! You have no idea how much your feedback truly helps. Even every flail in the doc is helpful to ensure I’m keeping everything straight since I don’t write chapters in order.
Another thank you, as always, to everyone in the CSMM discord for always being there and motivating and encouraging me and everyone else. Truly, you’re the best thing to come out of my 11 years on Tumblr.
If you’ve read this story and want more, or if you want to be tagged in any of my stories please let me know! I’m more than happy to add you to my tags list :)

She’s baaaaaaaack!
I was digging through my creative writing folder, and guess what I found that had already been completed and beta’d last February? 😂
Please note that this is NOT like Perilous Harbor in that it is not meant for all audiences! This is an explicit fic that will remain such, but it does have a plot now.
If this is your cup of tea, I hope you enjoy!
Thank you to @caught-in-the-filter for the beta and for helping me add the plot to this! It’s been a lot of fun even if I did forget about it for a very long time.
If you would like to be added to my tags list, please send me a message! I would be happy to add you 😊

As promised, here’s chapter 18! Yes, it has been less than 12 hours. Yes, @kmomof4 is to blame 😜
Hopefully this alleviates some of the chapter 17 panic...but maybe it won’t. Either way, I hope it makes you excited for chapter 19!
Thank you to @wefoundloveunderthelight for the incredible art.
