Hello Muse here, I'm sorry for the long wait between updates, I have hit a rut where none of my writing is the quality that I would like to be able to put out for you guys. I have been trying to write little things to try to climb out of this rut, hopefully there will be new updates soon. Thank you for supporting me.
You feel Pan start moving before you’re fully awake, mumbling cusses at him, while yanking the blanket up over your face hearing his chuckle at your annoyance sitting up glaring at him swiftly grabbing the pillow throwing it at his head. He steps to the side barely dodging the pillow as he gets down on one knee grabbing your boots from where he had set them putting them on quickly lacing them up saying, “Come on y/n, lets get this finished so we can go home.” Staring at him half awake his voice swimming in your head trying to fight the urge to lay back down to ignore what you had been called here for. Pan stands up holding his hand out the cloak in his other hand your voice soft, “Peter do I have to get up? It’s warm down here.” He looks at you nodding feeling you finally put your hand in his carefully tugging you up wrapping the cloak around you hearing Felix and Devin coming out of their tents you follow behind Pan. Nearly glaring at the two boys that are standing near the edge of the shield waiting for the two of you with their stuff, Pan wraps his arm around your shoulders, as the two of you walk over to the waiting boys. Seeing Rumple, Henry, and Neal standing on the other side of the shield waiting, you were the first to step through the shield, Pan quickly following behind, as the other two step out watching the three before you ensuring they don’t try anything.
Pan places you slightly behind him raising his hand motioning for them to lead the way, Henry wiggles his way out of his fathers grip coming to stand beside you, watching the boy out of the corner of your eye. Listening to the boy talk about the chaos Regina’s sister is causing asking you to tell him more about Neverland, seeing Neal shoot you a look, grinning back at him as you say, “Well kid, your first adventure there wasn’t fair seeing as you were tricked, it wasn’t a fair shot was it?” Henry shakes his head as Felix falls into step next to you Pan still in front of you to watch Rumple and Neal. Shooting a look at the older boy that tells him to stay quiet, continuing to tell Henry stories of Neverland and the fun you and the lost boys have had ensuring you left out any dangerous situations you may have ended up in. Lightly grabbing Henry’s shoulder making him look at you as you say, “You will not come back to the island unless your family here is okay with it, seeing as they don’t have much cause to trust us I don’t think it likely.” He shrugs slightly the look on his face akin to a kicked dog Neal looks back catching the look on his sons face and the slightly distraught look on yours at having caused the look. Rubbing his back slightly all of you keep walking Neal falling back to check on Henry as you move next to Pan feeling his arm snake around your shoulders rubbing his thumb against your arm a silent way of telling you it’d be okay.
Making your way up the steps to Regina’s house, seeing Hook and Emma standing inside near one of the windows, stopping on the middle step Pan waiting on the porch as he looks at you feeling Neal come up next to you. Glancing at him he whispers, “Don’t worry neither Rumple or I will let them get near you. I’m sure your boys won’t either.” Nodding slightly as you join the others on the porch Rumple ensuring you were okay before he opens the door all of you step inside, Hook steps forward as you enter the foyer, seeing Rumple point his cane at him saying, “Do not step any closer to her or they leave without handing over the poison.” Watching him stiffen at Rumple’s words as he steps back Regina comes down the stairs looking the most unkempt she ever has. Turning to face her a look of disgust on your face as you take the vial out of the satchel on your hip, slipping it into Pan’s hand, Felix comes to stand next to you while Devin watches Hook as Rumple moves to talk to Regina. You grab onto Felix’s arm lightly to keep yourself grounded being stuck in a room with two people you didn’t want to be near keeping you on edge, Pan steps closer to Regina, narrowing his eyes slightly as he watches the two talk. Rumple moves over letting Pan come to stand next to him holding the vial out towards Regina she takes it from him saying, “Thank you for helping us.” You nod at her slightly tightening your grip on Felix’s arm, he places his hand over yours seeing Devin open the front door Felix quickly pulls you outside with him.
Pan gives Regina instructions on how to use it, Devin steps outside as well, shutting the door behind him as the two look at you. Pan gets stuck in a conversation with Regina and the others inside walking down the steps you pace around the yard refusing to look at the windows stopping, you glare at Felix, irritation clear in your voice, “Go tell Pan to hurry the hell up. I want to go home.” Felix nods opening the door clearing his throat as he says, “Pan you need to hurry up the lady wants to leave. Now.” Pan turns quickly and leaves without saying another word pushing past Felix while rushing down the stairs towards you muttering to himself about how the people on the mainland were the absolute worst. He stops long enough to pick you up hearing the other two boys nearly trip down the stairs as Pan sets a brutal pace towards the dock watching Regina’s house get smaller the further you get away, Hook now standing on the porch, turning your attention to Pan resting your head on his shoulder. Listening to him talk to the other two, all of them assuming you were asleep, he adjusts his hold on you as the boat comes into view opening your eyes getting his attention, “Set me down, I just want to look at Hook’s ship one last time.” He lets out a breath complying with what you had said, he holds onto your waist, ensuring you were steady on your feet giving his hand a squeeze as you step away from the three boys all of them watching you.
Walking over to the Jolly Roger, taking a couple steps onto the ramp, running your hand over the side of the ship as you continue up the ramp stepping onto the deck hearing familiar footfalls come up behind you. Turning around quickly, seeing Hook standing on the ramp, you slightly nod at him saying, “I just wanted to see it before I went home I’m leaving now.” Felix appears standing on the railing just like he did the night Hook gave up Baelfire, you laugh a little, watching one of your many fierce protectors watch Hook before turning his attention to you holding his hand out towards you. Hook steps onto the deck pulling something out of his pouch, a small necklace charm, tossing it towards you watching as you carefully catch it starting to move towards Felix as you look at it saying, “Thanks Hook, I won’t lose it again, Felix there isn’t a boy on this boat for you to take again it’s slightly laughable seeing you stand there.” Grabbing onto his hand, he carefully pulls you up next to him, slightly bowing at Hook looking down at the ramp seeing Pan standing below you waiting a devilish smile on his face Felix still continues to watch Hook as you drop down Pan easily catching you setting you on your feet. Wrapping his arm around you, you starting to walk towards the ship you used to get to Storybrooke in the first place Felix following behind shortly after Pan climbing onboard before helping you on as well.
Felix and Devin ready the ship to go, feeling it rock slightly as it sets off, the three boys watch you head below deck the door clicking shut behind you sitting on the bed in the corner kicking your boots off. Tugging the blanket over yourself as you lay back on the bed, turning on your side, sleep quickly overtaking you an hour passes before Pan finally comes to check on you pulling a chair next to the bed propping his feet up on the frame of the bed, watching you sleep, the softness in Pan came and went like the tides only showing you the softness while keeping the harsh side for the boys and intruders on the island. He closes his eyes, crossing his arms over his chest, listening to the waves lap at the side of the ship as well as the movements of the two boys on the deck above. Felix finally walks down knocking on the door, Pan opening his eyes, sits up clearing his throat as he says, “What? I swear if you wake her I’ll kill you myself.” Felix steps in, his eyes flicking over to you, Felix chooses to stay near the door saying, “We’re home.” Pan nods excusing him making sure to keep the blanket over you as he picks you up thankful it was nighttime on the island, stepping off the boat Pan heads towards your shared cottage Felix knowing to tell the rest of the lost boys to stay quiet once Pan reaches the camp to cut through it with you.

[A/N; Sorry it took so long to get this next chapter out, I kept taking breaks on and off because I was unsure how to continue with it at some points. I appreciate you guys. Remember; Second star to the right and straight on until morning.]
Peter rests his head on top of yours shooing the other two boys away with his free hand, neither Felix nor Devin say anything as they get up to go back to their tents, hearing each tent zip up Peter rubs your arm while saying, “Y/N we don’t have to help them we can just go back home, I know that’s what you want to do.” You move a little shaking your head, feeling him lift his head so you can look at him. Leaning your head back making eye contact with him while saying, “I do want to go home because I cannot stand to be anywhere near that woman that made me forget you, Neverland, and the lost boys. It sickens me that we’re helping try to save her as much as I want her to just lose to her sister, I can’t stand to see Henry lose one of his moms.” Pan laughs shaking his head still chuckling while saying, “Going a little bit soft there love?” Shoving him slightly feeling him start tipping backwards on the log, you squirm your way out of his grip standing up as he falls backwards, starting to laugh as you look at him on the ground his bright green eyes staring at you in shock. Shrugging at the boy on the ground you sit back down on the log going back to grabbing the ingredients and tossing them into a bowl, Pan finally gets up sitting back down next to you, hearing some movement from just outside the cloaking shield Felix comes out of his tent looking at Pan.
Felix walks up to the two of you, both of you stand up trying to see who is outside of the shield, you start walking forward pulling your arm out of Pan’s grip as he tries to stop you. Walking over just to where the shield stops you see Hook walking around, shaking your head you walk back over to the two boys motioning that it’s no one important since none of you know who you can or can’t trust currently. The two boys watch you as your movements get more and more sluggish by each passing minute, Pan finally motions to Felix to grab the bowl of ingredients as Pan steps up behind you easily picking you up in a cradle carry he quickly cuts you off by saying, “You need to sleep, we all do Felix is going to put the bowl in our tent so that nothing happens to it. You can continue working on it when you wake up.” Groaning at him you put your head on his shoulder in defeat knowing there was no point in fighting when he was using the tone of voice he used with the lost boys. By the time Pan got to the tent you had fallen asleep he rolls his eyes as he kneels on a knee carefully setting you on the air mattress, Felix sets the bowl down before retreating back to his own tent, Peter carefully takes your boots and belt off setting them down next to the mattress. He takes his own boots off getting onto the mattress next to you before pulling the blankets up, hearing you murmur something to yourself in your sleep as you scoot closer to him.
A few hours had passed when Pan feels around the mattress for you, he sits up feeling some breeze coming inside the tent, looking over where he had puts your boots noticing that they’re gone. He groans getting up himself, haphazardly putting his own boots on, stepping outside of the tent he hears you talking to someone but doesn’t see you inside the shield grabbing a few rocks he throws them at Felix and Devin’s tents. Seeing the two boys stumble out of their tents barely awake as they both look at him, Pan walks towards them his body tense, stopping in front of the two boys he says, “I don’t know where Y/N went, I’m assuming she’s outside of the shield I can hear her talking to someone we need to find out who first.” The two boys nod as they split into different directions walking around the inside of the shield, Felix spots you first carefully get the other two boys’ attention they swiftly walk over, neither of their footsteps making noise as they do. Stopping next to Felix they watch as you shout at Hook, at how he had betrayed you, so you going to Neverland was only fair as you would’ve never grown up like you did had your two brothers taken you with them more than they did none of the three boys expected you to shove him to the ground as you yell, “I don’t want to see you around here again! I am happy where I am now as soon as this shit is finished we are going back!” You kick dirt, leaves, and rocks at him as you swiftly turn around coming face to face with Peter glaring back at Hook, you grab Peters arm yanking him back into the shield with you.
Felix and Devin had moved back over by the fire, Felix watching as the two of you come back inside the shield. Letting go of Pan finally realizing how tight your grip had been on his arm, Pan grabs your shoulders making you stop turning you around to face him, a grin on his face as he looks at your eyes. Cupping your face in his hands as he says, “There’s my lost girl, anger and all, those lines are darker now just like mine.” You turn your face into one of his hands kissing the palm as you do, Peter pulls you over to the fire sitting down on the log first, yanking you down to sit on one of his legs. Felix looks at you over the fire a grin on his face as he says, “About time you showed your true self again lost girl.” Rolling your eyes as you shake your head slightly, Pan wraps both his arms around your waist, glaring at Hook even though Hook couldn’t see any of you. Feeling Pan’s arms tighten around your waist you look at him saying, “The quicker I can get that poison done the sooner we can go back. You know exactly how it’s used, it’s odorless and tasteless.” He nods wordlessly you turn your head looking at the other two as they continue their own conversation, not realizing the two of you had gone silent just watching them with a predatory gaze.
You get up after a few minutes patting Pans shoulder as you head to your tent to get the pot and ingredients, coming back you see Pan had moved to sit on the ground, one of his legs bent upwards so he can rest his arm on his knee. Sitting down in between his legs leaning against his bent leg, carefully putting your legs over his other, swiftly throwing the rest of the ingredients in the pot looking at the clearing around you as you get up. The three boys look at you as you say, “I need the three of you to stay here don’t follow me and don’t ask me any questions when I come back.” Reaching down as you grab the pot also yanking Peter’s dagger out of his sheath on his hip, he stares at you in confusion, shaking your head at him you turn around walking out of the shield. Setting your own protective shield up a few feet away, starting a small fire you set the bowl down at the edge of it letting it warm up starting to speak a few words in a long dead language as you kneel down in front of the bowl, staring at the fire slightly disassociating, setting the blade of the dagger against your left hand palm clenching your hand around it before you swiftly yank the dagger out of your grip.
Hissing as you drop the dagger on the ground, letting the blood from your hand drip into the fire before wiping it on the side of the bowl, knowing the last few words of the spell were coming soon. Yanking a bottle of venom out of your pocket, uncorking it with your teeth, quickly pouring it into the bowl as you speak the last words watching as the ingredients mix together forming a cloudy blue liquid. Smiling as you use Pans dagger to cut off a piece of fabric from your shirt, wrapping it around your hand to halt the bleeding, pulling out another bottle you carefully pour the liquid into it corking it shut. Standing up you make the bowl disappear and quickly kick dirt on the fire to put it out, taking the protective shield down, you swiftly walk back to the clearing tucking the bottle away into the satchel at your hip. None of them notice you come back in until you say, “Can someone get me a wrap?” Devin gets up from where he’s sitting running to his tent come back with a wrap, seeing Pan had pulled you onto his lap, Devin walks over setting the gauze down next to him Felix kneeling on one of his knees in front of the two of you his hands carefully unwrapping your hand, watching the eldest lost boy as he takes care of the cut on your hand.
Pan pushes your head down onto his shoulder, Felix washing the blood off the cut, finally seeing how deep the cut is hearing the three boys whistle Peter making sure your head stays on his shoulder. Devin runs back to his tent knowing if your hand wasn’t patched up quickly. Peter was going to lose his temper, knowing using his power here would attract people, Devin brings his bag back digging through it finding a needle and thread quickly threading it before handing it off to Felix. Moving your head slightly to look at Felix as he looks at you saying, “This is going to hurt like a bitch. Someone put a stick in her mouth.” Devin tosses one to Peter as he carefully sets it in your mouth making sure you bite down on it. Moving your head back to look at the sky to distract yourself as Felix starts stitching your hand up grabbing Peter’s forearm, biting down harder on the stick, feeling the tugging on your hand stop after a few minutes as Peter starts wrapping the gauze around your hand. Spitting the stick out of your mouth patting Felix’s shoulder as you stand up, pulling Peter up with you, heading back towards your tent hearing him zip it up behind the two of you as you lay back down on the mattress. Pan stays standing propping your foot up on one of his legs as he takes your boot off before doing the same with the other, kicking his boots off next to yours, he lays down next to you pulling the blankets over the both of you.
(A/N; Sorry guys this is quite a long read the word count is 5.7k so please forgive me, this brought me a lot of joy to write and I just let it go where ever it wanted. Enjoy!)
As a small child you always had dreams of a faraway place called Neverland, you had drawn it from memory as well as three boys, the names had long since escaped you. Your eighteenth birthday was approaching fast too fast for your own comfort, laying in your bed staring at the ceiling, quietly muttering to yourself, “Take me away before I am no longer able to see that place again.” The exhaustion from the day easily lulling you into sleep, hearing a tapping on your window only a couple of hours later. Groaning as you roll over barely opening your eyes to glare at the window, seeing a pair of glowing white eyes, staring at you to flick its eyes over to your windows latch. Standing up thankful you had fallen asleep in your clothes, quickly slipping on your boots, moving over to the window you unlock it sliding it open watching as the shadow lands on the windowsill. It holds its hand out slightly impatient as it waits for you to take its hand, looking back at your bedroom door, you quickly grab its hand feeling it slip its arm under your legs in a bridal carry as it zooms off. Watching your house get smaller and smaller the shadow blows on your face knocking you out for the rest of the trip, in your haze after being knocked out, you hear a few voices as you fight the sleep off. Rubbing your eyes as you finally start sitting up hearing someone say, “Woah hey there take it easy, you’ve been out for quite a while.” Looking over seeing a boys face extremely close to yours a scar on his face, you scramble backwards, effectively slamming into a tree trunk.
Cussing as you lean forward slightly rubbing your back hearing another one of the boys laugh, glaring in his direction, you see he has bright green eyes, he finally says, “Felix don’t scare the girl the shadow brought us. Get her up, we’re heading back to camp.” Felix nods at him as he gets up taking a couple of steps towards you. Feeling him grab your arm as he yanks you up, the boy with the green eyes throws some dust in your face knocking you out again Felix picks you up tossing you over his shoulder. Waking up easily this time, you feel poles digging into your back, looking around you see a cage holding you not able to make anything out due to the cloth blocking your view, seeing a flickering light, from what you assume is a campfire. Leaning your head back as you let out a breath hearing another girls voice from beside you whisper, “Don’t make much noise. Pan won’t let either of us go and he doesn’t want to hear us.” Trying to catch a glimpse of her realizing a cloth was in the way, you also had a rope tied around your waist that connected to your wrists. Pulling your knees up against your chest, you rest your chin on them staring at the flickering light that’s coming through the cloth, annoyance crawling through your body hearing footsteps approaching the cage. Seeing the cloth get tossed back onto the top of the cage before the boy with the green eyes leans against the top of it looking down at you a devilish smile on his face.
Seeing the other two boys walk up to stand next to him looking at you, the one with the scar on his face, mirroring the same devilish smile and the other having a completely blank face look down at you. Looking back up at the three saying, “What? Are you going to kill me?” The boy in the middle laughs saying, “No love I am going to let you out of this cage, I had the shadow go back and collect some things off your walls, and you are going to explain them.” Watching as he holds up some papers as the scar faced boy and green-eyed boy back away leaving the third to open the cage. Trying to climb out of the cage fighting against the restraints at your waist snapping at the them, “This would be a lot easier if my hands weren’t tied!” The boy with the green eyes waves his hand and the restraints disappear now easily climbing out of the cage you hold your hand out for the pages in his hand. He shakes his head as he motions for one of the other boys to forcefully lead you over to the campfire making you sit down on a log, watching as the boy that seems to be the leader kneel on one knee in front of you resting his arm on his knee as he watches you look around the camp. The boy with the scar finally says, “This is Neverland, I’m Felix and this is Devin.” Pointing at the boy next to him, who timidly waves nodding at the two of them looking back around avoiding looking at the boy kneeling in front of you.
Seeing a hand shoot in front of your eyes as it snaps, pulling your focus back to the boy in front of you, he rolls his eyes as he says, “I’m Peter Pan and I want to know why you have these drawings.” He tosses them at you, barely catching them, starting to flip through them as you stop on the one of the three boys. Glancing at it and back up to them before going to the next drawing as you quietly say, “Because from the time I was a child, I had dreams of this place. Then all at once it felt all too real, so I started drawing that way when I was too old I would at least have the drawings even if I didn’t remember.” Peter hums at your response his gaze dropping to look at his hand as if trying to remember child you. Felix finally breaks the few minutes of silence by saying, “Y/N? How did the shadow find you? It lost track of you.” Looking at him a small smile on your face Devin had disappeared after your explanation coming back with a stack of clothing and boots setting them down next to you. Peter stands up watching as he points at an area quickly saying, “There’s a trail that’s hidden go down it and you’ll find your cottage it still has all your stuff. You can change there and even stay there if you want.” Nodding at him as you grab the clothes standing up heading towards the trail once you get onto the trail you see the cottage torches outside the porch lit.
Carefully opening the door hoping there wasn’t something harmful waiting for you on the other side, stepping inside shutting the door behind you, one of the walls decorated with drawings that had improved over time. The wall the bed was against was painted a cerulean blue a comforting color for you, kicking your boots off, changing into the clothes sitting down on the edge of the bed putting the boots on that Devin handed to you. Lacing them up surprised that everything fits perfectly, letting out a breath as you stand up, opening the door only to come face to face with Pan straightening your posture not allowing him to back you into the cottage you say, “You know my family will be coming to look for me right? You know the one member of my family extremely well.” He shakes his head slightly as he says in a low voice, “Oh? And who might be this family member dove?” He takes a few steps backwards a smirk on his face as he watches you as you close the door behind you, clenching your jaw, glancing at the ground as you do looking back up at him. Tilting your head side to side in a debating manner biting the inside of your lips walking over to him as you link your arm with his pulling him around the side of the cottage walking further away from the camp. You let go of his arm after nearly an hour of walking towards a cliffside, he stands a few feet away, watching as you stop near the edge of the cliff staring out at the water pointing at the horizon quietly saying, “There, you see that ship? The Black Beauty, that is his ship. More precisely my fathers ship.” Turning your head to look over your shoulder at him, jumping at his proximity, he grabs your shoulders keeping you from falling off the cliff.
He grabs your arm roughly, dragging you back to camp, trying to keep up with his brutal pace, seeing the camp come into view as a group of lost boys come onto the trail. Pan pushes through them making a few of them fall down. Stepping into camp he shoves you towards a log, tripping over a few rocks in the way, slamming against the log groaning as you pull yourself up to sit down holding onto your side staring at the ground. Watching the lost boy Pan had knocked over come into camp Felix gathers all the boys as Pan says, “Alright lads. That old codfish is coming back for another round. This time we have a trick: His daughter. She was rocked on the Beauty’s deck before he stopped, even if she doesn’t remember it, and now Hook and his crew want her back. Lets remind them why they ran with their tails between their legs in the first place! We’ll show that coward he can’t escape us forever!” Felix glances at you seeing that you had turned your back on everyone still holding onto your side, he watches you a little closer seeing your breathing shallow. Felix doesn’t bother to glance at Pan as he breaks away from the group to walk over to you, he steps over the log, crouching down in front of you he helps you sit on the ground leaning back against the log feeling Pans eyes on him Felix looks up at him saying, “Maybe next time don’t shove her so hard. Especially not when her father is on the way, how is she going to run or protect herself if she wants to stay here?” Pan shrugs the bloodlust for revenge bloodying his thoughts.
He goes back to lecturing the boys on what the plan was as Felix carefully assesses your injuries, he lets out a breath, standing up he helps you up quietly saying, “I’ll have to wrap your ribs as much as I normally don’t care about treating wounds in the open you do deserve privacy.” Nodding at him as he helps you walk towards a tent, Felix holds the tent flap open, making sure you get inside safely he steps in behind you letting the flap drop behind him. He points to a cot watching you like a hawk as you sit down, watching you wince in pain, he mimics pulling his shirt up saying, “Just far enough for me to wrap your ribs.” Nodding at him as you pull your shirt up just enough to expose your midsection to the boy, he kneels down in front of you again, keeping his focus on wrapping your ribs making sure he pulls just tight enough that nothing shifts. A few minutes pass by the time he stands up backing away from you, turning his back to you, pulling your shirt down you grab his arm using it to pull yourself up he nods at you as the two of you walk back out of the tent seeing some of the lost boys play fighting with each other and others dancing around in a ring with Pan standing in the middle next to the fire playing his pan flute. He stops a devilish smirk on his face as he watches all of them dance, his eyes flick over to you and Felix as you stop in front of a log and sit down, Felix walks away from you going to gather his weapons and talk to Pan about how to deal with your family.
Watching the sunset fade from the brilliant yellows, oranges, and reds to a dusky night sky as stars start spattering sky, Pan walks over, he kneels down in front of you resting his forearms on his knee again as he says, “You my dear, are going to bait your family. You only have this chance if you want to leave. If you want to stay bait them.” Finally looking at him letting out the breath you had been holding since he kneeled in front of you. Digging your nails into your palms saying, “Alright fine, only if you tell me how old I actually am at the end of all this shit. Why did you tell them that about me?” He huffs a laugh nodding at your demand and question Felix walks over after a few minutes as Pan gets up to walk away saying as he does, “Oh, my dear dove…Don’t you understand? You’re the bait for the Hook. What is a better way to catch the old codfish than to use what he wants most? But it’s okay. Once he’s gone, I promise, I’ll keep you safe and sound, just like Wendy. Felix here will tell you the plan.” He disappears down a trail leaving the camp as Felix spends the next hour telling you the plan they had come up with he holds out a dagger on a belt watching as you tie it around you waist knowing Pan had placed a tracking spell on it. He looks towards the trail Pan has gone before leaning close and whispering, “Run little mouse, if he catches you he’ll rip your shadow straight from your body.” He laughs as fear fills your eyes, you stand up taking off down a random trail hoping it will lead you to your fathers ship. Hearing voices up ahead recognizing some of them breaking into the open turning your head to the right seeing Pan standing on a few fallen trees by the water a smirk on his face and his eyes dark.
Slowing down to watch him hearing hoots and hollers coming from the trees behind you, glancing over your shoulder breaking into a run again, feeling the sand slip underneath you. Finally seeing the ship come into view, along with a group of people standing on the deck, choking back a sob looking back into the trees seeing some of the lost boys starting to break the tree line you shout, “Father! Swan! Someone! Find me!” Watching as all their heads snap towards where your voice came from Hook moving to stand on the rails of the ship. Feeling a hand grab the back of your neck roughly yanking you back against a chest hearing Pan whisper in your ear through gritted teeth, “Oh dear you got so close look, he’s all riled up now. Perfect, I’ll let you go to them as long as you keep up with the plan.” He had pulled your neck back forcing you to look at him only able to see the side of his face, nodding your voice coming out in a whisper, “Please, I promise.” He gives you a devilish grin slightly shoving you forwards the lost boys stepping aside laughing as you fall on your knees before they all nearly melt back into the shadows of the trees. Balling your hands into fists in the sand, seeing a pair of black boots appear on the edges of your eyesight before the person falls to their knees as a pair of arms wrap around you grabbing onto the familiar leather jacket.
Hook puts his hand against the back of your head holding you as close to him as he could, not hearing anyone else approach the two of you, leaning away from your father looking at him whispering, “You know better than anyone Pan won’t let you guys leave unless you face him.” He nods saying, “I know kid, do you remember where his camp is?” Keeping your grip on his jacket slightly nodding as he helps you up, gritting your teeth, trying your best to ignore the pain flaring from your ribs. Gently setting your arm against your ribs feeling your father’s hand let go of you glancing at him quickly saying, “I’m sorry, find it on your own.” Not sparing another second you take off into the trees hearing your family yell for you to come back, not paying attention to the trail in front of you, slamming into a person knocking the both of you on the ground. Feeling a pair of arms wrap around you making sure you don’t land underneath them, hearing a laugh, as you finally look at the person seeing Pan as he says, “Now love, you’re supposed to watch where you’re running.” Rolling your eyes at him as he pulls the both of you upright brushing yourself off feeling Pan start pulling the leaves and sticks out of your hair, grabbing your hand he makes the both of you appear in camp.
He looks at Felix as the two of you step into camp shaking his head as he ignores the rest of the lost boys, he stops at the hidden trail to the cottage, watching you walk onto the trail making sure you get to your cottage safely. He folds his arms across his chest as Felix walks up to him saying, “So she made her choice, she had the chance to leave after we left her on the beach.” Pan nods a grin on his face. Pan moves the camp in the middle of the night every time your family gets closer, Pan appears on a hill next to the trail, keeping his back towards the group Hook shouts, “Demon give me my daughter back! You must have put a spell on her to make her run back to you!” Pan starts laughing as he turns around to face them as a few of them start shouting at him, Pan raises his hand, silencing them as he says, “Oh no pirate she made her choice the second she ran from you. I made a deal with her, bait you lot so she could stay or leave when she made contact with you. All she asked in return was to tell me how old she actually was.” Hook steps forward stopping when he sees you crest the top of the hill coming to stand behind Pan setting your head on his shoulder, still tired as you look at your family. Hook looks at you saying, “Y/n get down here right now. We are going home.” Moving your head from Pans shoulder shaking your head at your family seeing Henry move to the front of the group next to Hook.
Making eye contact with Henry, Pan noticing how you shift slightly uncomfortable, feeling him push you behind him getting you out of their eyesight as he says, “You are Baelfire’s son aren’t you? Funny he said he’d never allow his future children here.” You continue to listen to the conversation putting your hand on his back saying loud enough your family can hear you, “I am not coming back Father, you’ve been lying to me. All of you have. As soon as you met the Savior and became her guard dog, I was forgotten.” Moving slightly to glare at your family as you carefully grab Pans arm whispering, “There’s no use in talking to them lets go back to camp.” He nods putting his hand over yours as the two of you disappear Pan appears in front of your cottage knowing your family would have a hell of a time trying to find you. Nodding at him you open the door to your cottage looking at him over your shoulder quietly saying, “Can you stay? Just until I fall asleep?” He nods motioning for you to go inside he walks over to the bed. After you’ve sat down kneeling in front of you he takes your boots off, tossing them to the side, he puts the blankets over you retreating to a chair against the wall. Half an hour had passed by the time you had fallen asleep again, he puts a few more enchantments up making it even harder to find the cottage making it only visible to you, himself, Felix, and Devin. Pan leaves the cottage heading to his tree house which was only a few feet away from your cottage so he can keep his eye out if anything goes wrong he moves the camp around a few more times.
Pan stands out on the porch of the tree house slamming his hands on the railing, the lines under his eyes darkening, shouting in frustration he watches the windows of your cottage, and they flicker with candlelight. You step outside with a blanket wrapped around you, moving to the edge of the porch in front of the cottage, turning your head upwards looking at Pan saying, “Can you quiet down? If you want to lose your mind do it in the camp.” He cocks his head to the side, he jumps over the railing, landing on the ground he stands up walking over to you. You stumble back a few steps as he stops in front of you his eyes wild as he says, “Listen pirate princess, until I get that old codfish to run away and never come back again or even better die I will do as I please. I’m the hero, he’s the villain he always has been. Get your boots on now we are going to go find them.” Silently nodding you go back inside leaving the door open feeling his eyes on you, you toss the blanket onto the bed, grabbing your boots putting them on and lacing them up as quickly as possible. Walking back outside shutting the door behind you Pan tosses a cloak at you, putting it on you pull the hood up, Pan grabs your arm softer this time walking towards camp he stands next to the big fire in the middle of the camp pointing at the stump for you to sit down on. He makes a rope appear in his hand quickly tying your hands together, he looks around the edges of the camp, he paces around, running his hands through his hair.
Watching him as he paces around, hearing him muttering to himself, clearing your throat he turns on you saying harshly, “Be quiet! I am doing this for you! To prove to you that I am the hero and that your father is the villain!” Getting up you walk over to him, he comes to a stop in front of you, cupping his face in your hands as you whisper, “I know Pan, please wake the other lost boys otherwise it’ll be an unfair fight.” Seeing his eyes lighten slightly he shouts, “Boys! Lads! Wake up! We have a fight coming!” Walking back over to the stump you sit down pushing the hood off your head seeing the lost boys as they come out of their tents grabbing weapons as they come into the middle of the camp seeing Pan looking at you over his shoulder with a devilish smile on his face and a gleam of insanity in his eyes. Crossing one leg over the other carefully setting your hands on your leg, hearing voices coming up the trail, seeing Hook and the rest of your family break the tree line coming into camp. The lost boys stand in front of you blocking you from their view, Pan standing next to you, looking up at him carefully grabbing his hand he crouches down once he does you face him whispering, “Can you untie my hands? I can be of help.” He grabs the rope yanking you towards him as he grins again, landing on your knees, glaring at him as he fights back laughter he quickly cuts the rope pressing the hilt of his dagger into your hand closing your fingers around it.
Hook finally sees Pan stand back up not having seen you yet, you look up at Pan seeing him holding his hand out, grabbing his hand he pulls you back up letting go of his hand he wraps his arm around your shoulders. Pan pulls you tightly against his side the grin on his face wide, looking at your father, turning your head to look at Pan seeing his focus on your father wiggling out of his grip you push through the lost boys. Stopping in front of them feeling Felix and Pan step up behind you as you look down at Emma’s left hand, noticing the ring on her finger, you laugh coldly saying, “So I was right, the Savior and her child are far more important than me, this is the only chance you have to leave the island codfish. At least while Pan will still let you, I will never return to you. If you want a fight you’ll deal with Pan.” Watching Rumple try to move through the group turning around you quietly tell Pan to trap Hook inside the camp and block the others out so they cannot interfere. He raises his eyebrow a smirk appearing on his face, making a quick motion with his hand, effectively blocking everyone out of the camp except for Hook and the lost boys Felix pulls you behind the two of them feeling Devin pulls you back into the crowd making it harder for Hook to see you. Pan makes a rapier appear in his hand as Hook unsheathes his, hearing Pan chuckle, you snap your attention to him as he lets the rapier dangle loosely in his hand as Hook raises his in a ready position. Watching your father start to circle Pan as Pan just turns in a circle watching him, Hook finally runs at Pan the screech of metal clashing, Pan slashes at Hook grazing his cheek hearing your father cuss.
The lost boy stabs at Hook, insanity and anger in his eyes, hearing your father say, “Look Pan we don’t have to do this, just let me take my daughter home.” Pan backs Hook towards the fire yelling, “No no no no NO! I’M THE HERO, YOU’RE THE BAD GUY! I WIN AND YOU LOSE! THAT’S HOW IT WORKS! YOU DON’T GET THE HAPPY ENDING! I DO! She wants to stay with me!” Hook steps close to Pan shoving him back getting them away from the fire not seeing you moving towards them, quietly stepping behind your father, seeing Pan barely glance at you keeping Hook distracted. Holding Pan’s dagger with both hands as you sink it into your fathers back, hearing his weapon clatter on the ground, swiftly yanking the blade out of his back as you bash the hilt of the dagger over the back of his head. Pan stops his attack, the shield keeping Hook’s crew out coming down, watching as Hook hits the ground knocked out Pan steps over his body pulling you away from him as Hooks crew runs forward to get him. Looking down at your father’s body a look of disgust on your face, as Emma and David, put Hooks arms around their shoulders Pan makes you face away from the crew as he says, “She clearly made her choice, don’t ever return to Neverland. We’ll treat her far better here than any of you ever did. Like I told her, I’ll keep her safe and sound just like Wendy.” They start leaving the camp feeling Pans hand come up to the back of your head as he starts stroking your hair trying to comfort you. After a few minutes he moves his hand down your arm reaching for his dagger, moving your hand letting him take it from you, Devin pulls you away from the camp taking you towards your cottage to escape what had just happened and how Pan had lost his mind.
Hearing the door click shut behind you, not bothering to light any of the candles, you press your back against the door before sinking onto the ground pulling your knees to your chest knowing that you had to live with your actions and choices. As the days go on Pan has either Felix or Devin deliver food to you leaving it on the porch knowing not to open the door, Felix walks up to the door seeing the previous two plates of food still sitting on the porch untouched. He sets the plate they had made for dinner down knocking on the door, he quickly turns around, rushing back into camp Pan looks at him standing up and saying, “I know that look, what happened?” Felix comes to a stop in front of Pan putting his hands on his hips Felix lets out a breath starting to say where only Pan can hear, “She isn’t eating, she’s been eating these past couple of days she just hasn’t touched any of the plates today.” Pan stares at him before he storms out of the camp and down the trail towards your cottage seeing it come into view he speeds up as Felix tells the other lost boys to stay in the camp. Pan bangs on the door of the cottage yelling, “Y/N! Get out here now!” He waits a few minutes trying to hear if there’s any movement inside not hearing anything, he kicks the door open, seeing that none of the candles are lit waving his hand lighting a few of the candles looking around he sees the dagger he had given you lying on the bed and no sign of you having been there.
He rushes out of the cottage storming back up the trail his entire body tense Felix watches him come back up the trail, Pan seeing Felix in sight shouts, “She isn’t in the damn cottage! I can’t track her because of this!” He holds the sheathed dagger up before tucking it into one of his pockets, Felix turns around yelling, “Everyone fan out! Y/N has gone missing she’s still on the island!” Every lost boy leaves the camp going different ways shouting your name Felix goes with Pan to go investigate the more hidden areas of the island. Whipping your head around hearing your name being yelled, the shadow picks you up, taking off towards its hideout feeling it deftly avoid being seen by any of the lost boys it stops in a clearing on the other side of the island carefully setting you down. The shadow waits for you at the entrance of a clearing, tilting its head finally you start to walk towards the shadow, meeting it at the entrance it flies next to you slowly leading you further into its cave. Watching the tunnel of the cave grow wider before it opens into a huge cavern the shadow leads you away from the worst parts of its home into a smaller area for you to get comfortable in making sure it leaves a few candles lit before taking off out of the cavern.
You sit down in one of the chairs, pulling the blanket over you, grabbing a book before leaning back starting to read the hours pass by quickly finally hearing footsteps coming down the tunnel you blow the candles out. Pan has his fists clenched as Felix leads the way down the tunnel, neither having spoken a word in hours, both boys thankful the shadow had taken off earlier in the day and hadn’t been since. Pan finally breaking the silence as he says, “I don’t understand why my shadow has to choose a spot on the other side of the island to put its hideout on. I don’t even know if it’d bring her here if it had anything to do with her not being in the cottage.” Felix hums in agreement as Pan waves his hand lighting some of the candles, you had hidden against the side of the chair, barely peeking over the arm rest of the chair seeing the two boys coming into the cavern. Holding your breath as you look at the two boys, the stress clear on Felix’s face, ducking back down leaning against the side of the chair trying to make yourself as small as possible Pan says, “That area wasn’t here before I’ll go look over there.” Hearing footsteps approaching the little nook you were hiding in shutting your eyes breathing as quietly as possible. Pan steps around the chair, clearing his throat, he crouches down in front of you saying, “You really thought we wouldn’t search the entire island for you dove? Ridiculous.” He yanks the blanket off the chair as he pulls you towards him wrapping the blanket around you, picking you up Felix waits at the entrance to the tunnel.
Taking you back to the camp Pan heads down the path towards your cottage only stopping to fly upwards, he kicks the door to his treehouse open, walking inside he drops you on his bed slightly turning to grab some rope. He shakes his head saying, “Dove I promised them and you that I’d keep you as safe as Wendy, I intend to keep that promise.” He grabs your ankle making sure he takes your boot off before tying one of the ropes end around your ankle and the other end around the bed post, he steps back for a second, waving his hand enchanting the rope to ensure you can’t untie it he turns leaving the tree house slamming the door behind him. Soon enough the camp had returned to normal every lost boy old and new were used to not seeing you much Pan having made it that much harder for you to be left alone, months had since gone by, Felix stands at the door of your cottage waiting for you to come out. You finally open the door letting out a breath as you stare at the eldest lost boy as he says, “Pan wanted me to deliver a message, he says that you’re actually nearly a century year old still a little bit aways from it though, you only look as young as you do due to your time on Neverland with Hook. Which is why he looks so young too.” Nodding at him you step back into the cottage slamming the door shut before retreating back to the little nook you had made inside the cottage sinking down into a chair mulling over the new information in your head knowing you'd never leave Neverland again.
As a small child you always had dreams of a faraway place called Neverland, you had drawn it from memory as well as three boys, the names had long since escaped you. Your seventeenth birthday was approaching fast too fast for your own comfort, laying in your bed staring at the ceiling, quietly muttering to yourself, “Take me away before I am no longer able to see that place again.”
Hello Muse here, this is just going to be one long story I am not sure when I will have it finished. I hope soon because I am excited to put this out, this one will actually be read by a few people I trust to help me fix it as I am writing and after I am finished. There will be more chapters of Back to Neverland coming, as well as a potential Captain Hook love story for a friend. Stay tuned
Henry nods quickly telling Rumple and Neal where he was going as he takes off back towards town to gather what you had asked him, looking at the two folding you arms as the other three walk up to stand next to you. Pan quickly puts a shield up to prevent anyone from hearing what you needed to discuss with the two, pulling a piece of paper out of one of your pockets holding it out towards Rumple as you say, “I need these ingredients and a bottle don’t ask me what its for, don’t ask me how to use it. Just know that it works and it’s particularly nasty.” Rumple reaches out taking the paper from you looking over the list as he nods a little Neal finally says, “So what’s your plan on dealing with Regina’s sister? Are you actually sure whatever you’re making is going to work?” Giving Neal an annoyed look assuring him it will work because you’ve made and used it multiple times in the past when issues had appeared while you were out looking for work alone. Pan gets rid of the shield as the six of you stand around the clearing Neal trying to get info out of you or Pan on how magic was restored to Neverland if he didn’t have Henry’s heart. A half hour had passed when you hear Henry shout, “Hey Y/N! I got everything!” Pointing at Felix and Devin to go help him bring everything up to the clearing catching sight of Tink standing at the edge of the woods watching your small group.
You start running towards her a grin on your face, Peter moves to try to stop you finally seeing Tink, she starts running towards you as well. Meeting each other halfway you throw your arms around her in a hug as she does the same pulling away from her slightly as you take your best friends face in nearly shouting, “You have your wings back! Oh my god!” She laughs and nods her head walking back up to the group as she waves at the other lost boys standing around linking her arm with yours as she says, “It’d be nice if you chose to join me by keeping your own powers.” Looking at her and shrugging before moving your gaze over to Pan while saying, “I don’t know Tink I think I have it pretty well made with my choice.” She grins bumping you with her hip as you both come to a stop in front of the small gathering Pan nods at her seeing Felix walking back up pointing behind him saying, “I found another clearing about 40 feet from here we can throw a cloaking shield up to hide us.” Ruffling Henry’s hair as you pass him letting go of Tink to pick up a few of the supplies glancing at Rumple an attitude in your voice, “Well? Get moving if you want your issue taken care of or do we have to go dig through your shop ourselves?” He shakes his head as the three of them leave as the other boys pick the rest of the supplies up Tink takes a bag from you following Felix to where he had pointed at.
Dropping everything in a pile in the middle of the clearing, all of you carefully watching Tink not knowing if she was in cahoots with Regina’s sister. Peter walks over to you wrapping his arm around your shoulders, pulling you away from earshot of the entire group he stands in front of you crossing his arms over his chest saying in a low voice, “We need to make sure Tink doesn’t come back to this clearing you go back into town with her, tell her you need to go speak to Rumple alone that you’ll meet her at Granny’s before we go back to Neverland.” Nodding as you put your hands on his shoulders kissing his cheek a smile on your face to ease his worries, turning back around you skip away from him shouting, “Tink! Can you walk me back into town? I need to speak to Rumple alone. I promise I’ll meet you at Granny’s before we head back to Neverland.” She smiles and nods as you link your arm with hers again heading back towards town your guys conversation fades as you disappear from the lost boys sights, coming to a stop in front of Rumpel’s shop she excuses herself as you open the door to the shop walking inside letting out a breath. Belle comes out from the back of the shop stopping herself from greeting you instead saying, “Why are you here devil?” Laughing at the fact she called you devil walking over to the display case she was behind leaning against it making direct eye contact with her.
She steps back trying to put more distance between the two of you, rolling your eyes as you say, “Come on now Belle, we both know well enough I’m here to speak to Rumpel. Nice nickname for me by the way that’s normally reserved for Pan by Hook though.” She points to the back room she watches as you step around the display case peeking your head around the corner seeing Rumpel sorting through ingredients. Knocking lightly, he looks up motioning for you to come in, stepping into the room you walk over to him, leaning against the nearest table he looks at you again saying, “So Y/N what brings you here?” Shrugging you walk over helping him sort through ingredients setting ones you needed aside quietly saying, “I needed to get Tink away from our camp, so I walked her back here under the guise that I needed to come and talk to you about something important.” He nods watching how you quickly sort through everything on his tables managing to make sense of his organization. The atmosphere falling into a comfortable one as you both quietly talk, Rumple noticing you had gone quiet with your back towards him, staring at something in your hands. He waits for you to snap out of whatever you were thinking about that had been brought on by what you had in your hands.
Shaking your head a little as you turn around looking at Rumple still tightly holding onto the small doll you had in your hands, holding it out to him quietly saying, “I know Pan and I were never the best parents, we can’t make up for anything we did, I found this once Pan took me back to Neverland and I was out from under Regina’s spell.” Setting the doll onto the table you throw all the ingredients that you needed in a bag that you had brought with you, swiftly walking out of the shop you sprint back to the camp stepping through the cloaking shield that Pan had put up seeing a fire going already. Walking over to one of the logs and sitting down in front of the fire as you start pulling ingredients out, hearing the tents unzip as the boys come out of them, Peter walks up behind you setting his hands on your shoulders, Felix and Devin sitting on a log across from you finally Peter sits down next to you as they all watch you start throwing the ingredients together. Realization finally settles over the boys as Peter says, “You’re really making that? Are you sure?” Stopping your actions you turn and look at him while leaning against him feeling him pull you onto his lap wrapping his arms around you, putting your head against his shoulder closing your eyes trying to let the annoyance leave your body for the first time in weeks.
(A/N: I am back ya'll this chapter and the next I am not too happy with but I promised I'd have something out so please forgive me 😭)
The months have flown by since Peter had restored magic to Neverland all of you falling back into a comfortable rhythm, new lost boys are brought to the beach nearly daily Peter, and you had left everything concerning the new ones to Felix and Devin with set rules. Sitting on a limb of the thinking tree leaned against the trunk watching Peter learn better ways to fight while flying, breaking a smaller branch off the tree unsheathing the dagger at your waist as you start to work away at the branch looking up hearing a whoop only to see Peter landing deftly on the limb standing on it in front of you. He walks closer until he’s standing in front of you, hands on his hips tilting your head at him quirking a smile at him “What are you doing there love?” He asks as he sits down in front of you putting his hands on top of your ankles leaning forward to try and see what you had in your hands a smile on his face, “I’m carving a fish my love while you’re practicing.” He nods, a comfortable silence falling over both of you as he continues watching you carve the branch. Seeing the shadow shoot towards camp, Pan grabs you taking off from the tree following behind it. Landing in camp a few minutes later looking at the shadow perched on a branch staring at the two of you, it opens its hand dropping a note onto the ground before taking off.
You walk over quickly snagging the note off the ground, carefully unfolding it seeing Rumple’s handwriting, “We need your help in Storybook, there is someone threatening the safety we made in this small town.” You turn towards Pan handing the note off to him catching sight of another boy you both trusted pointing at him while saying, “You keep the lost boys under control, Felix and Devin you’re coming with us. It seems we’re making a trip to the mainland.” The two boys nod as they take off to go grab weapons and whatever else they may need to bring with them to the mainland, Peter and you take off towards the cottage, slamming the door open starting to grab your favored weapons. Heading towards the beach, watching the other two coming from a different direction to meet up with the both of you, seeing the pier come into view a boat sitting next to it. Peter hops onto the boat, he turns around holding his hand out to you as the other two jump onto the boat, taking his hand, he helps you onto it. Felix quickly slashes the rope that’s tied to the pier feeling the boat rock slightly as it sets off on an almost automatic path towards Storybrook. Grateful, it wasn’t some small dingy, Devin and Felix head to one side of the boat as you and Peter head up top next to the wheel, leaning against the railing enjoying the slight breeze on your face. The two boys nod as they take off to go grab weapons and whatever else they may need to help.
Hearing Peter walk up behind you before he presses his chest against your back, bracing his hands on the railing next to your arms. Putting his chin on your shoulder, relishing in the silence neither of you knowing what to expect when you reached Storybrook, you hum slightly before saying, “It hasn’t even been that long since they left the shores of Neverland. We’ll have to be careful because Hook could’ve convinced Rumple to call us there.” Feeling Pan nod as you rest one of your hands on his, going back to enjoying the sound the waves. He pulls away slightly only to sit on the floor, looking at him, sitting down in between his legs leaning back against his chest with your head on his shoulder. He leans his head against yours as both of you fall asleep knowing that Felix or Devin would wake you both when the boat had reached Storybrook. Waking up to Peter quietly talking to Felix not feeling the boat moving anymore, you stretch slightly turning towards Peter a little more placing your legs over his, hearing the rhythmic tapping of a cane coming across the deck of the boat. Pushing off the floor with Pan’s hand on your back, Felix walks towards the top of the stairs to stare down at Rumpel, Henry, and Neal. Standing slightly behind Pan as he walks up to the rail next to the stairs listening to the snarky tone in his voice, “You couldn’t try to take care of this issue on your own?” Jabbing Peter in the side giving him an exasperated look while rolling your eyes, you jump over the railing landing on the deck.
Making sure to keep your distance from the three hearing Pan tell Felix to get out of his way as he comes to stand next to you, folding your arms over your chest looking at the three while saying, “What’s the issue? We would like to make this as quick as possible so we can go home.” Catching Neal rolling his eyes you level a glare at him barely catching Henry as he runs over to give you a hug, smirking at Neal as you return the boys hug. Henry moves to stand beside you as Rumple clears his throat starting to explain, “Regina has a sister that I made the mistake of teaching magic to, she is now threatening everyone in Storybrook if she doesn’t get her way. Which is destroy Regina and turn back time to make sure that their mother gave Regina up instead of her.” Stifling a laugh as you glance at Peter seeing a grin on his face, shaking your head as Felix and Devin head towards the pier, taking the cue Peter pulls you along with him. Leaving the other three behind as you walk towards what you can only assume is the center of the town, looking around as some of the people glared at you Felix finally saying, “This town is the last place I’d ever want to visit. This shit seems boring.” You and Pan both laugh as he wraps his arm around your shoulders, the four of you continue to be loud with no care to what everyone living in Storybrook thought.
Hook watches from Granny’s diner worry clear on his face as to why the four of you were in Storybrook, Mary Margaret being the only one in the diner brave enough to step outside she walks to the sidewalk before shouting, “Why are you four here?! You didn’t get enough of screwing with us on Neverland you had to come here?” Halting in your steps you look at her a smirk on your face catching Hook in the window barely glancing at the boys with you. Tugging Pan along with you, walking past her saying, “No you lot have Rumple to thank for us being here.” Rushing up the stairs you open the door staring at Hook a light sarcastic tone in your voice, “Remember Hook, no bad form.” Pan huffs a laugh as Felix and Devin bust out into laughter, letting go of the door as the four of you rush down the sidewalk to continue walking around, the three that had met you on the boat have continuously tried to catch up with your group. Seeing a path leading to the forest you all veer off towards it, slightly shoving Pan backwards and away from you, taking off in a sprint knowing you never had to tell them when you wanted a foot race, hearing a couple of hoots and shouts from behind you. Making it into the forest managing to weave in between trees and jump over roots, coming to a stop in a clearing turning around to face the boys behind you. Seeing Hook, Mary Margaret, David, and Emma come into the clearing after them, glaring at them as you and Pan move to stand in front of Felix and Devin each of you putting a hand on your weapons.
Pan watches them closely not trusting that they won’t try to do anything, he tugs you slightly behind him as Felix moves forward to stand in front of you making sure not to fully block you. Hearing Henry yelling, “Stop! Wait! Don’t touch them!” Finally seeing him come into sight he runs past the group standing in front of all of you to put himself in the middle as Rumple and Neal make their way into the clearing. Hook brushes past Emma holding his hand out, “Y/N come on, you don’t have to go back to Neverland if that demon is forcing you to stay.” Wrapping one of your arms around Pan’s midsection as you set your chin on his shoulder, feeling Peter rest his hand on your arm, looking directly at Hook while saying, “No I don’t think I will stay here with you Hook. Did you forget? You and our dear brother left me; father swiftly kicked me out after the two of you had left for school. I grew up completely alone.” Anger clear on your face as you grab onto Peter’s shirt bunching it in your fist as you continue to glare at your brother, Neal and Rumpel come to a stop next to Henry looking at Emma’s group, rolling your eyes at the group as you let go of Peter’s shirt turning away from them to start walking towards a tree.
Starting to climb up the tree finding a limb that was high enough that no one besides your little group would be able to get to you, sitting down with your back pressed against the trunk. Listening to Emma’s group and Rumpel’s argue between each other seeing Peter come to stand at the bottom of the tree looking up at you ignoring the arguing groups as he climbs up the tree coming to sit in front of you on the same limb in a whispered voice he asks, “Love are you going to come down anytime soon or are you going to wait until Hook and the others are gone?” He scoots closer putting your legs over his, running his hands up and down the side of your thighs. Making eye contact with Peter you shrug slightly taking a deep breath stretching as you do so looking towards the ground before looking back at Pan a smirk on your face as you whisper, “Get me down from here. This honestly wouldn’t be a bad area for us to make camp I would definitely want to be more hidden though.” Pan nods in agreement as he turns around so you can lean against his back and wrap your arms around his neck, leaning with him to somewhat fall off the branch to be able to fly down, reaching the ground you let go of Pan as he sets you down. Hook watches the two of you closely seeing that you were content with the lost boy as much as he disliked him, finally Emma’s group turns to leave the clearing as you walk over to Henry waiting for him to turn to face you seeing that you have his attention you ask him if he knows anyone that has any tents or something to make a rough camp for the duration of your stay not wanting to stay in an inn or someone else’s house.
So I've decided to make a point. I know hundreds of writers on here have been trying to bring this to the attention of audiences, but it doesn't seem to be getting through. So I'm gonna try. These are the likes, comments, and reblog ratios on some of my fics.
I don't get as many notes as some authors do on here for most of my work, but you can see how out of 447 people that it's underwhelming to receive no comments.
Even on my more popular fanfictions, the comments and reblogs don't even compare to the amount of likes on a post.
And here is a fact that might startle some of you;
Likes mean nothing. They mean nothing on any social media app, and at the end of the day, they mean even less here. Writers want kudos, comments, ideas, and constructive criticism. Writers want your thoughts on the work you just read. Even if it's just a simple red heart emoji or a keyboard smash, that tells us so much and gives us inspiration to write similar content for you and others to enjoy. Reblogs are even more important than comments and most definitely likes. Reblogs allow our work to reach different sides and circles of tumblr. If it's on your mutuals dash because you reblogged it, then more people will see it, read it, and hopefully enjoy it. Reblogs matter, because writers are pouring their heart, soul, pussys, and dicks into these fics and are brave enough to post them. For free. You get to read these fics for free. And the least you can do is drop a comment.
Reblog a fic to your blog if you loved it. Even better, Reblog with tags or write your comments with the reblog. We see all of it, and it makes our day. Please, you're wondering why writers for your favorite fandoms are dwindling here. It's because there is no support. If you support your favorite writers, artists, gifmakers, etcetera, then we might just stick around and continue making free content for you all.
I don't have that many likes or traffic on my page everything that was said in this is valid, we want to see what you guys think even if it's as simple as "I love this keep up the great work!" Because sometimes finding the will to write is extremely hard even if it is something I love with all my heart.
I will have a chapter or two out by either today or tomorrow even if I am not happy with them (save me I've been staring at these two chapters on and off again since tuesday night)
I will also try to make a linked masterlist to make navigation easier when I come back because trying to do anything besides small edits on mobile is difficult. 😭 I will have wifi by the end of this week and will try to get a chapter or two out as soon as possible. It may also just be a small drabble, if anyone has any ideas for a drabble/scenario/bullet-point list feel free to drop it in my asks 💕
Hey guys I will be temporarily going on hiatus my family and I are moving so until I can get my wifi hooked up and things settled (aka my cats) I will be back hopefully soon! I appreciate all of you that read my stories! I love you guys!!
Finally stepping back into camp you help Felix with Henry leaning him against a log as you cover him with a blanket you had grabbed from one of the boys’ tents, taking to moment Peter and Felix are distracted you walk into the jungle. Heading to one of your favorite climbing trees you start climbing up to the top sitting on a branch with your back against the trunk once you can see the sky, taking a deep breath as you stare towards where the shadow likes to appear from. Hearing footsteps underneath the tree you look down seeing Emma, Mary Margaret, David, Hook, and Regina pass by going completely still in the tree thankful they had been told the wrong way once they get far enough away you start climbing back down the tree falling the rest of the way down after missing a spot you’d normally place your hand “Fuck that hurt.” Getting back up as you take off towards the camp meeting Felix right outside “That boys’ mothers are nearby.” He nods as he walks back into camp staring at Peter who is talking to Henry that had finally woken up “I’ll be right back lad.” Henry nods as Peter gets up walking over to Felix “I know that look. What happened?” Felix keeps his voice lowered flicking his gaze from Henry to Peter “The boys’ family are nearby; it looks like Y/n got into a fight with someone.” Seeing you step back into camp brushing yourself off not having noticed the cut on your cheek or how banged up you look as you pull leaves and twigs out of your hair.
No one had noticed the other boy behind you finally noticing Peter and Felix are both staring at you raising your eyebrow at them slightly tilting your head coming to the realization of how you looked. Waving at them before laughing at their reactions to you not seeming pissed off, turning to crouch in front of the boy behind you “This is the camp of the lost boys, do you see the two standing by the fire?” The boy looks over your shoulder to see the two before looking back at you nodding a smile spreading over his face “The one without the cloak is Peter Pan, the other is Felix his right-hand man.” Watching the boy jump in excitement as the two of them finally walk over to you and the boy, standing as Peter comes to a stop next to you turning slightly to look at him once the boy takes off to Felix. Crossing your arms across your chest as he wraps one of his arms around you “That’s the other truest believer we just need to make the group think Henry is in enough danger to distract from us using this boy.” Peter nearly pulls you flush against him setting one of your hands on his chest a smirk on your face “I’ll take Henry to the other side of the island away from Skull Rock we just need to have a fake camp set up here and the actual camp moved there.” He nods agreeing with your plan this time he leans a little closer whispering in your ear “After all Peter Pan never fails and neither does his queen.” Smiling at him as Felix walks over with the boy in his arms the two of you move away from each other sharing a look before Devin walks up handing you Pan’s cloak.
Taking it from Devin watching the boy fall asleep on Felix’s shoulder due to some poppy dust being blown in his direction as Devin walks away. After telling Felix the plan you walk over to Henry sitting down next to him as you put the cloak on “You’ll be out of here soon enough lad, and when you go home forget about all of us here.” Henry stares at you before turning to face you staring at him with a blank expression your eyes holding a cold expression “You aren’t coming back with us?” Shaking your head no and leaving it at that getting up to walk away from him feeling the camp change spots Felix, Pan, and the boy gone now. A smile spreads across your face as you walk towards a spot in the tree line staring into the jungle with your arms crossed, Devin comes to stand next to you as the entire group comes down the trail they finally see you standing at the top of the hill staring at them “The game just got a whole lot more interesting Devin.” Shooing him away as you give a mocking bow to the approaching group turning around and walking over to Henry as you grab the shoulder of his shirt yanking him up before walking back to the tree line “Did you lot lose someone important?” Emma storms up the trail letting go of Henry as she shoves you into a tree the cutlass blade at your neck in seconds laughing at her slightly, as Rumpelstiltskin walks up behind her “Get your hands off my mother.” The rest of the group look at Rumpel like he had lost his mind, pushing Emma off of you giving Hook a look as he stares between the two of you questions clear on his face as Henry hugs all of his family.
Devin keeps his eyes on the group as you go to stand on the stump next to the fire looking at all of them annoyance etched on your face along with a childish look “That’s right Hook my dear brother you heard the Dark One correctly. After you left me alone I fell in love got married and had a child. Who ended up abandoned by both his parents just like the Savior.” Chuckling as you feel a shudder go through the island spreading your arms wide allowing yourself to fall backwards only to feel a pair of arms catch you. Laughing as Peter shoots the two of you into the sky before landing back in the camp to greet the group, he wraps his arms around your waist staring at the group “You have your lad back, you can all leave now with no protest from either of us.” Watching as black flashes across both your eyes the shadow starting to circle the camp hearing lost boys start to whoop as they come out of their hiding places watching Rumpelstiltskin shake his head looking at the two of you Emma opens her mouth starting to say something before she can even get a word out Peter cuts her off “Ah, I don’t think so Savior none of the lost boys leave unless they truly want to this is their only chance to get out of Neverland. Oh, and take Tink with you and let the other fairies see her.” Watching as two boys run up to the group begging to be taken back, snapping your fingers teleporting the group back to Hook’s boat relief running through you at Neverland being revived. Pan and you head to a cliff overlooking where Hook’s boat was watching as Hook loses his temper.
Rumpelstiltskin seems to accept the fact that neither of his parents are coming back waving your hand slightly making a note appear tucked into his pocket for him to find later, finally turning your attention back to your brother leaving him with one final sound of your voice in his head only “That’s bad form Captain. Get your boat out of here before you can’t leave Neverland. Me and the Devil walk side by side.” He whips his head around looking for you before looking up at the cliff seeing the two of you standing there. Pan directly behind you his arm wrapped around you, his focus solely on you. Tapping his hand as you point down at the ship watching everyone finally look up except for the two lost boys as you both stare down at them looks of contempt on both your faces moving away from the cliff as the boat finally leaves the shores of Neverland the dock falling to pieces as soon as the boat is far enough away. Taking ahold of Peter’s hand as the two of you walk around Neverland in peace for once the search finally over your little family still intact finally able to let the lost boys do whatever they wanted around the island knowing it’s now out of sight completely. On the boat, Hook lets Neal and Henry take over the boat as he walks to his own quarters kicking the door open the words that you had left him with echoing in his head as he takes the top of his bottle of rum downing half the bottle before he throws it against the wall as he leans against the desk his back to the door. Rumpel has been staying at the front of the boat the entire time ignoring everyone else, his hand fiddling with the note in his pocket debating on when to actually read it.
Stopping in your tracks tugging Peter to a stop as well looking at him before looking at the sky both of you are able to tell that Pan’s shadow is close, stepping into a clearing making it easier for the shadow to float in front of the two of you. Watching it as it shows its hands Peter only nodding once noting that its hands are now empty the whistle gone before the shadow shoots off into the sky “My love I think it’s time for us to return to the cottage for the night.” Glancing at him as you nod letting him lead you back to the camp and cottage “The cloak doesn’t smell like you anymore.” He lets out a laugh at how annoyed you sound over the cloak seeing the cottage come into view you both speed up exhaustion taking over. Peter opens the door allowing you to go inside first, taking the cloak off and tossing it onto the chair as you walk over to the bed laying down on it with your feet on the floor closing your eyes as the door clicks shut. Peter walks over to you pushing your legs apart as he undoes the belt pulling it off you before grabbing one of your legs propping your foot on his leg, making quick work of the laces tossing the boot towards the chair before he does the same with the other boot. He grabs one of his shirts helping you get undressed before he puts his shirt on you finally changing himself so that he’s only wearing pants he climbs into bed with you. Waiting for him to get comfortable before you lay on your side putting your leg over him tugging the blankets up as all the candles in the room go out except for one he presses his lips against your temple sleep quickly taking both of you.
Seeing Storybrooke come into view David convinces Hook to come out of his quarters to dock the boat he walks up to take over control of the boat from Neal and Henry. The two watch as he deftly docks the boat, the group all disembarking greeting everyone Belle trying to find Rumpel as he stays on board sitting on the stairs perfectly hidden from view. Tugging the note out of his pocket seeing your handwriting on the paper a smile showing on his face as he starts reading, Our dearest boy Rumpel, don’t ever feel afraid to come back to Neverland, we’ve come to the agreement that only you can come back although you cannot stay. We still love you very much my boy as much as I hate we weren’t there to help raise you. We never forgot you. If you ever need help the shadow will be around to deliver us any messages from you. Quickly shoving the note back into his pocket as he sees Belle coming towards him to get him off the boat so that they can all go eat at Granny’s, Pan’s shadow making himself known for a moment a glint of something in it’s hand. Rumpel tells Belle to go ahead that he’ll be just a moment longer the shadow flies down close enough to drop a whistle in his hand a note on it saying Use this and the shadow will show. Quickly tucking it into his pocket before he catches up with everyone else as the shadow heads back towards Neverland to tell Pan that the message and flute had been delivered life seemingly carrying on as normal.
An hour had passed since Pan had taken off with you to the cottage hearing a knock at the door you both lift your heads staring at the door, Peter finally takes the muting spell off the cottage while yelling “Give us a minute! We’re going over something!” He turns to look at you a mischievous glint in his eye, smiling you slowly move away from him. Groaning at the loss of the feeling of him inside of you he pulls you back slightly putting his hand over your pelvis as you feel some warmth spread, looking at him as he shrugs. Both of you start moving around the room “You can never be too careful my love easier to make it so you can’t get pregnant.” Nodding in agreement with him content with the soreness in your entire body after he finishes getting dressed he walks over to help you get dressed in fresh clothing, sitting on the arm of the chair, he kneels down in front of you slipping your boots on your feet before propping one on his leg to lace it up before doing the same with the other. He stands up grabbing the belt off the chair looping it around your waist, as you get up to walk over to the mirror Peter opens the door hearing him allow the person in the cottage, looking through the mirror you can see it’s Felix starting to brush your hair wishing Mary Margaret was here to braid it again. Peter sits in the chair as he puts his own boots on while you spin around to lean against the dresser looking at Felix “What is it? I know that look.” Felix quickly knocks the hood of his cloak off his head “They’re close and it isn’t the group you were with.” Peter shoots you a look as the three of you take off out of the cottage hearing the door slam behind you as you run down the path to the main camp.
The three of you slow right before getting into camp, sauntering in you look around ensuring nothing had happened in the time Felix had come to get the two of you, tossing Peter his pan flute he walks over to a stump next to the fire, sitting down on it before he starts playing. Watching Henry as all the lost boys start to dance around the fire a calm smile on your face “Henry why don’t you come dance?” He nods jumping up as he gets tossed a pair of sticks to bang together he joins the circle starting to dance around. Walking over to stand behind Peter as the both of you watch Henry with a predator-like gaze, a wind blows into the camp knocking every lost boy and Henry out Peter and you had turned away quick enough to avoid breathing anything in, the torches around the edge of the camp go out and the fire in the middle of the camp goes out “We have a guest. No doubt someone who knows how much I like guessing games. Who could it be?” Looking down at Peter a wicked smile on your face as he stands up with a smirk on his face, sliding a look of fear onto your face as Peter grabs your wrist harshly before yanking you to stand right next to him “The dark one. You can come out now.” He lifts his free hand causing the fire in the pit to burn again his grip on your wrist only getting tighter. A whimper leaves you as you try to pull his hand off your wrist.
Watching as Rumpelstiltskin steps into the light his gaze flicking to where Peter is holding your wrist listening to Peter as you continue to try to pull away from him “Have you come to save Henry and Y/n now lad? Sacrifice your life for your family? Oh, and speaking of family.” He looks behind Rumpelstiltskin’s shoulder lighting one of the torches again a near deadly look on his face “You can come out Baelfire. You were never the best at hiding.” Watching as Baelfire steps into the light to stand next to Rumpelstiltskin “The name’s Neal now.” He has a crossbow trained at Peter as Rumpelstiltskin looks at you again as Baelfire shoots the crossbow at him, he lets go of your wrist to catch the bolt that was coming at him stopping it inches from his chest like he had done with Henry “Do you remember nothing Baelfire?” Backing a few steps away from Peter as he drops the bolt, “I remember enough, that’s why I didn’t coat the tip.” Watching as a spell causes Peter to stop moving holding him in place hearing him let out a laugh as Rumpelstiltskin holds his hand out to you rushing over to him as Baelfire runs to grab Henry as you grab onto Rumpelstiltskin’s hand he pulls you into a quick hug. Watching Baelfire walk over to the two of you with Henry on his back, the three of you turn to leave sparing one last look at Peter before you follow them out of the camp the plan falling perfectly back into place.
Getting far away enough from the camp as you see a clearing come up ahead the tension leaving your body as you look at Rumpel out of the corner of your eyes, getting into the clearing watching Baelfire set Henry down carefully, he finally looks at you before he comes over to hug you tightly. Hugging him back only letting go when he finally does he heads back over to Henry trying to wake him as you move across the clearing to lean against the rock you hear Rumpel say, “He won’t wake up for at least another hour.” The father son duo start fighting pushing off the rock you walk over to stand in between them shooting both of them a look “Stop it now the both of you, Rumpel you’re here because of some stupid prophecy and Bael- Sorry Neal you’re here to get your son back. You have him now. The others were in Tinkerbell’s camp before the lost boys came and took me back to Pan.” Both of them look at you in bewilderment at how bold you were to stand in between them Baelfire shakes his head before walking away as you turn to face Rumpelstiltskin carefully setting your hands on his arms thankful you chose to cover the hickeys on your neck before Felix had managed to interrupt. Looking up at him knowing you still look like a teenager pressing your lips together before sighing “Rumpel I never meant to leave you, I truly was looking for work to be able to move you away from that horrid town. Then I got kidnapped by the shadow and brought here Pan found me on the shore and he bargained with his shadow to make me like this.” Rumpelstiltskin pulls you into a hug as you softly place your hand on the back of his head hugging him to you as much as possible feeling his shoulders shake.
You truly did feel bad about leaving your son behind you had no idea what had happened when you left the town to try and find a job as well as somewhere better to live a better situation for him to grow up in, finally getting him to calm down he pulls away as you wipe the tears on his face away. Feeling Baelfire staring at the two of you Rumpel finally turns starting to explain to him who you were and how you knew each other since he had barely heard what you had told Rumpel. Baelfire stands up once Henry starts waking up, “What do you mean that’s your mother? Pan’s your dad?!” He switches between looking at Rumpelstiltskin and you as you shrug a little before waving at him, “Hi laddy, we knew who you were when you came here, you looked exactly like Rumpel.” Henry sits up looking between all of you before he stands up hugging Baelfire. His eyes travel back to you unsure of whose side you’re on finally looking down at your wrist where Pan had grabbed you seeing finger shaped bruises blooming on your skin. Sucking in air through your teeth wishing you had his cloak to keep the bite of cold away rubbing your arms as you move closer to the fire hearing twigs and leaves snap underfoot as someone moves through the jungle. All of you sit around the fire in silence you across the fire from them watching them interact as fathers sons, and grandson leaning against the rock that’s behind you keeping the bruises on your wrist covered with your other hand.
Leaning your head back against the rock looking up at the stars, watching Pan’s shadow shoot across the sky a smile quickly crossing your face before going blank again, looking at the three again before standing up. They all look at you once they see you move putting your hands up “Relax I’m not going to kill you guys I’m going to gather us some food it isn’t safe to travel at night. You know that much Neal.” He nods as Rumpel tries to offer to go with you waving him off as you walk out of the camp and into the jungle, after walking for nearly half an hour you see a bush full of berries kneeling down in front of it starting to pick them setting them into a bag Rumpel had thrown you before you left. Hearing someone walk up behind you yanking the dagger out of its sheath as you stand up spinning around shoving the person up against the tree while putting the dagger up against the persons neck, your arm pressed against their chest. Hearing a laugh as you finally look at the person seeing a set of familiar of green eyes, turning the dagger so it was flat against their neck you shove off of them pushing the person into the tree. Putting the dagger back into the sheath “You make it impossible to stick to the plan when I just want to come back to the camp.” Peter chuckles lowly before he pulls you back over the bush helping you pick berries off it. He hands you four coconuts finishing filling up the bag seeing the other lost boys standing at the tree line waiting for him.
They all watch you leave seeing the H marked on one of the coconuts you quickly mark the others with everyone’s first initial in the same way, making your presence known as you step back into the camp. Handing each person their coconut as the bag of berries off to Rumpelstiltskin as you sit back down in your spot on the other side of the fire, all of you crack open the coconuts drinking the water from them knowing another truest believer besides Henry had been found, it was a matter of getting them here quick enough so that neither you nor Pan had to resort to taking Henry’s heart. Looking past the three on the other side of the fire making eye contact with Felix who had a smirk on his face as he stepped back further into the tree line before hearing a twig behind you snap quickly moving from the ground to stand in front of the three pulling Henry directly behind you making sure the other two were right next to him “Peter Pan never fails. Grab the boy I’ll get her.” Seeing other boys come out the trees and a few coming out of a tree trunk some grabbing Baelfire and others grabbing Rumpelstiltskin feeling Henry drop behind you as Felix walks up grabbing him and putting him over his shoulders. Peter finally walks up to you a devilish grin on his face as he grabs you hearing Rumpel shout in protest “You let her go! She wants to go back!” Peter shakes his head chuckling as he pulls you into him “I’d like to see you come and get her then.” The clearing is soon devoid of everyone except the two as Rumpel stares where you had just been standing, Neal starting off in the direction Felix had walked away with his son.
Sorry for not updating any stories recently some things have gone on in my personal life, I will get back to updating as soon as possible I have a few chapters of Back To Neverland written. I will try to post as consistently as I can thank you for being patient with me. ❤️
Both of you come out of the tent moments later, Hook doing a double take not having seen your hair braided back like that in years he pulls a ribbon out of his pocket carefully handing it to Mary Margaret it matched the green of your outfit perfectly. Allowing her to tie it around the braid, Emma walks up saying she can finally read the map giving her a slight knowing smile as you take the cloaking spell down. Moving over to Hook’s side as you all look at her “Lead the way Emma Swan you’re the only one that can read the map.” She turns to lead the way seeing it was a straight shot to the camp you only having the knowledge that Pan was going to appear on the path after some time to intercept the group and throw them off just enough to get them riled up. Sticking towards the back of the group so that when Pan appeared you were the closest to him all one big plan in play, hearing twigs and leaves crunch behind you slow your steps further as you get the groups attention “Guys there’s something wrong.” A yelp leaves your mouth as you feel someone grab you from behind the bite of cold steel against your neck and a dark chuckle in your ears. Hook shoves through everyone moving to the front as the boy pulls you back harder against him pressing the dagger against your throat a little more.
Grabbing onto his arm tightly feeling the muscles in his forearm under your fingers, leaning back into his slightly without anyone noticing his other hand slipping a note into your back pocket as he makes eye contact with Hook “Well Captain it seems you’ve found your sister you better not let go of her this time because if you do I won’t let go of her.” Emma steps forward pulling Neal’s cutlass from the sheath pointing it at him you let out a choked “Don’t. You can’t stop him.” Pan finally moves the dagger away from your neck feeling his thumb swipe over the small cut it had left he whispers hurriedly “Sorry about that love.” Before looking over the group again addressing all of them finally “Tick tock you only have so long to find the boy.” He roughly shoves you towards the rest of the group turning to watch him lick the blood off his thumb a devilish smirk on his face as him and all the lost boys disappear into the trees. David had caught you helping you stand upright, getting out of his grip you raise your hand to the cut still feeling where Pan had swiped over the cut as you lightly touch it a small, crooked smile on your face before letting your face go blank again. Smacking Hook’s hand away ignoring all the questions they tried to ask you silently pleading with Emma to just continue heading towards the camp.
She sees the silent plea in your eyes as she motions for you to come up next to her, moving as quickly as you can to get next to her she puts her arm around your shoulders as you all set off again. Pan finally makes it back to camp kicking a kettle halfway across the camp Devin swiftly switches places with Felix knowing that he’d be the only one that Pan would tell what was wrong. Felix makes his way over to Pan grabbing him by the shoulders “What the fuck happened?” Shaking him a little forcing Pan to snap out of it his eyes meeting Felix’s “Two things one she had her hair braided for the first time in forever she’s beautiful. The second thing is I accidentally cut her neck I got too carried away and then out of all the things I could have done I swiped my thumb over it and licked the fucking blood off of it before I left.” Felix laughs at the boys dilemma as he gets that off his chest shaking his head a little as he finally lets go of Pan’s shoulders “I’m sure she’s fine I’m shocked Hook didn’t try to kill you for that stunt.” Both of them shake their heads as they laugh Felix heads back towards Henry as Pan goes looking for an apple seeing he had curled up against the trunk of a tree. Coming back, he tosses it at Henry watching him sit up “Uh I don’t eat apples it’s a family thing.” Pan laughs as Felix hands him a crossbow “It’s not for eating it’s for a game. A fun game.” The sheer impness in his eyes as he seems to aim the crossbow at Henry before he moves away to stand up taking a bolt from Devin’s hand.
Taking the apple from Henry as Felix comes to stand next to him handing the apple to Felix “You see what this game is Felix is going to place the apple on his head and you’re going to shoot it off.” The grin on both their faces as Pan hands the now loaded crossbow to Henry “I don’t want to hit him though.” Felix laughs at the boy as he stands a few paces away placing the apple on his head standing still. Pan looks at the boy a slight twinge of annoyance “You won’t hit him, you especially can't miss with posion on this. Now shoot.” Henry aims the crossbow at the apple atop Felix’s head before changing directions to shoot it at Pans chest, catching the bolt a few inches from his chest a laugh leaving him, tossing the bolt to the ground “See? I told you it’s exhilarating.” Peter finally leaves the camp being able to tell that you guys are getting close to the camp he heads back into camp staying out of sight as he moves it. Emma finally glances back down at the map groaning as you look over at the map listening to the rest of the group ask what’s wrong “The camp moved! It’s behind us now!” Crossing your arms you lean against the nearest thing which happened to be a rock as the bickering picks up all over again, wondering how much longer you could keep the farce up before you finally chose to return to Peter and the lost boys.
Finally remembering the note Peter had slipped into your pocket while everyone is distracted you pull it out to see what it says, looking over the note seeing that it says once they choose to head to Tink let her see you she’ll know what to do then you can come back to camp. Quickly stuffing it back into your pocket keeping your face blank as much as you wanted to smile at the thought of home hearing the name Tinkerbell come out of someone’s mouth you look at Emma “I know where her camp is follow me.” Leading the way to Tink’s camp knowing full well she is on your side because of what had happened to her in the past seeing her camp come into view you run towards it relief flooding your body as you yell “Tink! Tinkerbell!” She comes running out from behind the tree that holds her treehouse as you run to meet her collapsing into her arms as she pulls you into a hug quickly whispering into her ear “These people are here to get Henry back we need them distracted long enough for us to come up with a plan Pan needs me back at the camp I need a chance to run otherwise Hook won’t let go of me.” Feeling her hug you tighter as she whispers, “Understood leave it to me.” Finally, the both of you let go stepping away slightly as everyone greets her Hook staying towards the back of the group as they all explain to her what had happened she nods as you wander around her camp seeing the easiest way to run back to Peter and the boys.
She manages to pull their attention to look at her since she had walked behind them making sure their backs were towards you seeing her shoot you a look right before you slip behind the treehouse. Stepping into the jungle making sure you’re far enough away before you finally take off sprinting down the trail cutting back towards your camp, seeing the familiar figures of Peter and Felix standing at the end of the trail into the camp. Choking a sob back you get a burst of energy Peter finally realizes who is coming down the trail he steps forward a little to make sure he’s the only one you barrel into, watching him hold his arms out a smile on his face, slamming into him wrapping your arms around him and burying your face in his neck as he brings his hand up to the back of your head his arm tightly wrapped around your waist. Standing like that for a few minutes before he pulls away slightly just to pick you up and head towards the cottage “God love these past few days have been hell without you here.” Putting your head on his shoulder a smile on your face as your hand comes up to rest of his cheek for a moment before hearing his boots hit wood as he steps onto the porch of your shared cottage he shoves the door open to walk in as he kicks the door shut behind the two of you. He walks over to the bed dropping you on it as he pulls your belt, cloak, and boots off of you tossing them somewhere on the floor, his shirt and boots following shortly after.
Watching him climb onto the bed, one of his legs coming to rest between yours, his hands next to your head. You slightly reposition yourself to lay flat on your back, looking straight up at him, you see a smirk on his face as he sits back a little, laughing at your groan of protest. You shoot up into a sitting position, grabbing onto him as you pull yourself into his lap. Seeing the shocked look on his face, it’s your turn to laugh. You wrap your arms around his shoulders as you grind down onto him, feeling his hands move to your hips. Knowing he had put a muting spell around the cottage to ensure no one hears the two of you, he watches with a glint in his eyes as you pull your shirt off tossing it on the floor. As you wrap your arms around his neck, you start kissing him while pulling him against you tighter, continuing to grind against him feeling the grip on your hips tighten. Finally feeling him getting annoyed and hard, he shoves you onto your back and yanks your pants and panties off. His pants and boxers followed shortly after. Looking up at him, the tension between the two of you… nearly palpable. Both of his pupils blown as he roams his hands over your body. He slowly starts whispering praises between kisses along your neck and collarbone. As he pushes into you, the world starts melting away and he finally starts thrusting into you. You begin to dig your nails into his back which only spurs him on as his movements get rougher. One of his hands on your hip, pushing you into the bed, gasps and moans fall from your lips. Grunts occasionally leaving him as he leans over you “Fuck…y/n you feel so good.” Coherent thoughts had left you, feeling the knot in your stomach become tighter the longer he goes. He grabs one of your legs wrapping it around him, feeling him hitting a completely different spot, making your back arch off the bed dragging your nails down his back, “Fuck Pan!” Feeling his free hand slip between the two of you before feeling the pad of his thumb make contact with your clit ensuring the two of you came together. He collapses on top of you both of your breaths heavy. As you start to run your fingers through his hair, knowing he won’t be moving for a good while, he puts his face against your neck. A grin on his face as he holds your free hand. A quiet conversation starts between the two of you. He only pushes himself up to be able to slip his arm under you before he turns to lay on his back putting you on top of him refusing to pull himself out of you.
Some of the lost boys had come running as you and Peter are in a stalemate in the middle of one of the trails, all of them just putting on a show for Henry, all the boys yelling as Peter hits you a few times whispering his apologies after the fact. Making a motion that it was fine as you kiss him on the cheek before storming back down the trail yelling that you were leaving and not coming back to the camp to not bother looking for you. Snatching a bag off a log as you go, glancing at the camp one last time before you go, once you hit the tree line and disappear from view you take off running shouts and whoops following you as you hear Peter yell, “Come on boys!” The rasp in his voice makes you want to turn around, but you stick to the plan and start running to where you had felt the strangers land knowing Felix and Peter would stay back with Henry as the others went after you if they all stuck to the plan they would soon go back to the camp after having lost you. Hearing the boys that were running after you give up after half an hour, you finally make it to where they had landed popping out of the tree line hands on your knees as you heave for breath. Feeling someone put their hand on your shoulder you flinch back falling straight on your ass dagger drawn as you hold it up to protect yourself, seeing Charming step back slightly his hands raised as you start looking at all their faces.
Watching as a familiar figure come out of the trees you quickly sheath the dagger before popping up and running towards the man letting out a sob that you had managed to fake, “Hook! Help me! It’s Pan he kidnapped me again I just want to go home!” Slamming into his chest as you wrap your arms around him crying into his chest as he wraps his arms around you staring down at you in disbelief as his good hand smooths your hair down holding you tightly to him as he starts explaining to the group who exactly you were. Finally pulling away from him wiping the tears from your face still not stepping away from Hook, he pulls you over to a rock to sit down on as he crouches in front of you tugging the hood of your head feeling him lightly grab your chin as you were looking at the ground the hood having covered the injuries on your face. You finally look up at him watching his eyes flash anger as he yanks his handkerchief from his pocket yanking a water pouch from his back as he dumps some water on the handkerchief, he carefully starts wiping the blood off your face a growl in his voice “Who did this to you? Who the hell decided to lay their dirty hands on my sister?” Shaking your head as you lightly grab his wrist to stop him from cleaning a shake in your voice “It was the lost boys Pan and I had a fight after he brought me back here, there was another boy that they consistently had someone around I want to say his name is Henry.” Hook pulls you into him as the rest of the group crowd around you his protectiveness showing as he glares at the rest of the group.
Staring at all of them with a glassy look in your eyes forcing yourself to keep a blank face as you lean into him before closing your eyes listening to your brother “Give her a fucking minute, she just escaped from the damned demon boy of the island. She’s all I have left!” After he lets go of you finally telling them what had happened since you showed back up in the camp and what led up to you running from the camp. Refusing to meet anyone’s eyes as you fiddle with the hem of the cloak huffing out a breath as you stand up staring up at the trees catching a glimpse of your favorite lost boy in one of the trees as he moves away glad to see you had found the group “I don’t want anything to do with them I can help you to get your son back is there anyone else in your group or is it just you five?” Emma explains the situation that Rumple was already on the island as you feel your heart clench at the name hiding the emotion on your face as your brother didn’t know that Rumple was related to him. Helping them move through the jungle to find a place to camp for the night, explaining to them that the lost boys will be looking for them if they aren’t already, that you can cloak the camp to allow them all to get rest you can feel Regina’s gaze on your back as you whip around to stare back at her.
Crossing your arms over your chest feeling Hook look at you a cold tone in your voice, “How can I help you Evil Queen? Or are you going to stop staring at me so you all can at least survive one night on this damned island?” Tilting your head as you look at her, she lets out a breath as she steps forward bending to look you directly in the eyes “Why should we trust you in the first place? How do we know that Pan isn’t using you as a pawn?” Scoffing as you motion to your face feeling Hook pull you back a few steps “Why would I return there! After what he had the lost boys put me through!” She finally relents as you continue to lead them to a clearing quickly throw up a cloaking spell as everyone starts setting up a tent Emma walks up to you “Do you know where to find any food or something we can eat?” Giving her directions as to where she can go before handing out the small basket that was in your bag she heads out as you see everyone else climb into their tent. Hook, doing one last check on you before everyone gets their own space quietly you slip out of the hastily put together camp knowing Pan will be meeting you in a few minutes after he finishes speaking to Emma having sent her far enough away that it’ll take her a while to get back to the camp giving you time to meet with him.
Seeing him leaning against a tree you sprint the last few feet to him he moves away from the tree catching you effortlessly, holding you tightly to him as you bury your face in his neck breathing in his scent, pulling back to look at him a serious look in your eyes “Rumple is here he’s looking for the boy he’s his grandfather so now we also have to intercept him he more than likely has a few tricks up his sleeve. Hook is also here, and we both know my brother he isn’t going to let go of me so easily.” He pulls you back into a hug assuring you it would be dealt with when the time comes that he wasn’t going to let go of you so easily ever again. Finally letting go of him as you head back to the hidden camp as he goes back to the lost boys getting back to the camp before Emma had you act like you had been in your tent the whole time as you pop your head into Hooks tent “I’m going to pop out of the camp to see if Emma is nearly back.” He hums as you take a few steps outside the cloaking spell seeing Emma coming back up the trail she moves a little quicker when she sees you as if she wanted to protect you like she was your mother, biting back the scoff that wanted to come out of you as you both head into the camp. Seeing a piece of paper in her hand holding your hand out in a silent request to see it she hands it to you as the both of you sit on a log.
You say loud enough for everyone to hear that Emma’s back with food and some news snatching a few berries out of the basket before everyone else comes out. Popping a few of them into your mouth moving to sit on the ground as you lean back against the log one leg crossed over the other as you all listen to Emma “He handed me this map and told me that I was the only one who could see it and I needed to stop denying who I really am.” Recalling the fact about Emma that she was essentially an orphan therefore making her a lost girl pulling the hood of the cloak over your head after eating the rest of the berries. Scooting further down and putting your arms behind your head listening to the group bicker amongst each other as you stare up at the stars of your island quietly listing off constellations to yourself. Hook notices coming to sit on the ground next to you not wanting to bother with the other four bickering both of you entering a conversation about how you used to travel together before you landed on the island and chose to stay with Pan having hidden from Hook you snort at the memory “I can still hear you from your ship yelling bad form! Bad form! Y/n Hook you get back here now!” He slightly shoves you while laughing “Shut up Y/n, I’ve stopped saying bad form. If anyone has bad form it’s me.” Nodding a little finally realizing the others had stopped bickering as Emma is sitting on a rock away from the group Mary Margaret next to her trying to help her figure out the map and how to read it.
Once Mary Margaret walks away you get up to walk over to Emma climbing up on the rock next to her keeping quiet until she groans looking at you “I think I know what he wants you to admit, from what little I understand about your situation with Mary Margaret and David is that you are a lost girl and that needs to be admitted before the map works.” She stares at you in disbelief “I know this is a big ask but can you at least promise me you won’t hurt the lost boys? They were only doing what Pan ordered them to do. They’ll want to go home.” She turns to face you pulling you into a quick hug before she pulls back nodding asking her a few quiet questions about Rumple and what he’s like she answers to the best of her ability you nod quietly before hopping off the rock to retreat into your tent remembering the boy that Pan and you had left behind so long ago. Nearly falling onto the mat as you grab onto your chest curling into a ball holding a sob in sleep slowly invading your body. Getting woken up by Mary Margaret hours later she helps you sit up wiping what tears were on your face as she holds both your hands in hers “If you need someone to talk to who isn’t your brother, I’m here for you.” Taking a deep breath you hug her whispering thank you in her ear she turns you around running her fingers through your hair before you finally hand her a comb as she french braids your hair to keep it from getting tangled again.
