Participant1. I come from an Internet world well before “shipping” labeling and will never consider myself a “shipper” because I am independent, stubborn and ornery to the core! (La la la) I will grudgingly embrace the label “Hooker” because I am a huge fan of witty wordplay. And I am easy when it comes to appreciating specific…um…talent …when I see it!
The chemistry and fate of Hook and Emma was firmly planted on the Beanstalk.
2. Much More complicated …
Interest in him? The beanstalk talk.
Holy Crap interest? The mouth tugging wound wrapping eye locking moment.
This dude has intestinal fortitude as well as oozing libido interest? When he drew the Giant’s attention and called him out.
Specific/Reluctant interest in him? Discovering Baelfire’s cave and the continuous “eye play”
Raw Lust-tinged interest? The first collar clutching, multi-angled “I’ll show YOU who is in control” lip lock.
But, but, it was just a kiss interest? Yeah sure, Emma. Practice “Denial ” much?
“I may be in a tad bit of trouble here” interest? The Cave of Echoes revelation.
Revealed “first chink in the wall” affection? Calling out his name during the Shadow attack.
WTF could I really be jealous interest? You..and Tink??? “Perhaps”
Love inkling? “Good”
Damnit I am too scared to love you interest? The “it shows you have a heart” confrontation in the woods.
“Over my dead body ( no, correction, YOUR dead body)” love? Try cursing someone’s lips I would want to kiss…son of a b*t*h come back to me, Killian! save him moment.
Frisky, this might not be a bad idea love? Loosening the bodice for rum-sotted Hook and deliciously ironic jealousy (“perhaps” with Tink?…well, perhaps with YOU) tease.
Oh, God, Killian, hold me, SAVE me my heart is breaking love? Watching Mom burn.
Yearning love? Wait, here I am hearing this supremely inappropriate and ridiculous new name for my brother scene and…where is my Killian , MY hero?
He has won my heart because I Want him Love? (Smile) “Aye”…
3. Easy. He had her at “Yo Ho”…”About bloody time!”
Happy Memorial Day for all loved ones for all reasons for all time!

Participant1) When did you start shipping CS-
2) When did you start believing that Emma loves Hook/Killian?
3) When did you just know they were endgame?
This is good because I never really got a chance to talk about this.
1) After watching Tallahassee I knew I didn’t like Neal. I just couldn’t get behind the Emma going to jail helping her achieve her destiny thing. What also funny is that my girlfriend, she had a crush on Hook long before I did and a I have a weakness for accents. Anyway, I liked Hook and Emma’s dynamic in Tallahassee a lot better than SwanFire and it took me writing my first CS fanfic to really see the potential and fall in love with the ‘ship.
2) I think Emma started to fall in love with him in Neverland and when they came to back Storybrooke and we saw Emma uneasy without Hook beside her (The New Neverland) that’s when she started to really fall for him. Because again, like in the finale, she missed his presence and was confused about why he was keeping his distance. But their scene at the town line in Going Home is when she accepted her feelings for him and vice versa.
3) I believe Captain Swan is endgame because Killian puts Emma first in a way Neal never did. He has this amazing devotion to her and we’ve seen that no matter the circumstances, he isn’t swayed to run away from her. And it might sound crass, but if Neal and Emma were meant to be endgame, their scenes wouldn’t be overshadowed by Hook’s presence or reaction (especially in Neverland). Like the ‘I’m not going to stop fighting you line’ if it was meant yo be SwanFire, the camera wouldn’t need to cut to Hook watching and paying attention to his reaction. And Neal wouldn’t have died either. Or Emma wouldn’t have said that she wished he had stayed dead in Neverland because that’s not how true loved behave on this show.
I hope that makes sense.

ParticipantOh God, @surayya, that cracked vid was HILARIOUS!!!!! “The moment when you literally NEED this show to be on HBO” HAHAH all the CS shippers went “GOD YES!!!!!!!”
“
1) When did you start shipping CS-
2) When did you start believing that Emma loves Hook/Killian?
3) When did you just know they were endgame?Number one is easy, Tallahassee. That whole epi was a perfect example of why Emma and Hook worked well together as a couple. And it was nice seeing Emma respond to a hot man with a spark of interest, even though it scared the crap out of her. It did set the pace for their relationship. “Everything you need is right in front of you” said Hook with a satisfied smirk on his face, while Emma looked on dumbstruck.
2. Hard to answer. Seems that she’s been slowly falling for him this whole time, but circumstances always got in the way. The fact that she constantly leaned on him and more importantly listened to him when they were in NL gave the impression that the feelings were there, but buried deep. They were all too busy #savinghenry after all. But the “Good” in the winter finale convinced me that she loved him. Once Emma had her memories and was back in SB, she was too intent on running away to see a future with Killian there but I do believe that she loved him the whole time. I don’t think Emma let herself admit that she loved him until the season 3 finale.
3. Well, I hoped they were endgame from the beginning. I liked Neal in Manhattan and thought perhaps they would explore that relationship further but all the episodes after that one didn’t really show him in a favourable light. The Season 2 finale cemented the idea that Killian and Emma were endgame for me.

ParticipantNew CS article today, but it’s mostly an old soundbite from an interview Jen did awhile back.

ParticipantCongrats, RGF!!! That’s awesome for your son! You must be so proud – brag away!!
1) When did you start shipping CS-
2) When did you start believing that Emma loves Hook/Killian?
3) When did you just know they were endgame?1) Actually, I was a much more passive watcher until Good Form. I remember the promo at the end of 3×04 – I literally jumped up and shouted “Whaaaa?!” Then all the buzz during the week had me on the edge of my seat. And of course, I loved the ep, and I was a goner. After, when I started really started going back and rewatching S2, Tallahassee really sealed the deal. I was a CSer!
2) Hmmm…loves…well, I think she was instantly attracted to him – and more than just on the superficial ‘wow, he’s kinda hot’ level, but on a genuinely intrigued ‘how does he get me so well?’ level. I think the kiss in Good Form is actually when she realized how intense her feelings were. And I think she consciously felt the same way Hook did when he made his confession in the Echo Cave. Had there been time, and they could just breathe for once, I think Emma would have started trying to break down those walls and meet Hook halfway – but in true OUAT-verse, there’s never ‘time’. So Emma did what Emma does best – built up her walls nice and strong and denied denied denied until our CS Movie, when she realized not only she couldn’t, but that she wouldn’t deny her feelings anymore.
3) Endgame – I hate that word!! I like the here and now – especially when it’s so full of good CS feels!! But I think they will ultimately end up together in some fashion – they’re the couple that will bridge the gap between our realm and the EF. So I guess my answer would be…I knew they’d end up together by the end of this season, and though without challenges, I don’t think our couple is going to be breaking up any time soon!
