ParticipantOk…so technically it’s a manip…but it still had me squeeing like a 12 year old girl!! (And seriously, this has got to be the best manip I think I’ve ever seen….they usually just freak me the freak OUT!)
@Jenna_B Saw this and freaked before I read your explanation at the bottom. I going to choose to ignore the fact that its a manip and enjoy the fantasy 😉[adrotate group="5"]July 25, 2014 at 10:05 pm #278469Jenna_B
Participant@ellemo78, I agree with your post 100%, so I won’t bother quoting! 🙂 I love that scene too…and I agree, I don’t know that I can pick just one CS moment as my favorite. I do love their little moments most, though, the understated ones. Like in NL when they’re sitting by the fire and Hook gives the coconut to Emma! I love little scenes like that, when you see Emma’s walls are down….and she’s not even thinking about those walls and what it means that they’re not down or up or whatever; she just comfortable and relaxed.
Ok — I’ll quote this part!
I know people got a bit annoyed that it *had* to be Emma’s “love interest” that travelled to the past with her. But really it was her closest friend who travelled with her, does it matter that that friend happens to be male? I don’t think her parents even know her as well as Hook does. She shares so much with him.
This is really the thing I love the most about CS – and what I think sets them apart is the fact that they were friends first. Yes, Hook loved Emma, but as said, I think he would’ve been content – and probably resigned to the idea that – Emma didn’t return his romantic feelings. That friendship gives them an excellent foundation – they can truly be themselves in front of each other. I think maybe RumBelle comes the closest to CS in that respect, but even in their situation, before they got together they had the ’employer/employee’ kind of relationship.
I agree with you POM, in regard to the fact that OQ hasn’t really had to work at this relationship – they knew they were in love because ‘pixie dust told them so’? But for me, OQ is all about the chemistry! Haha, they are hawt, I love watching Robin and Regina interact, so I guess for that reason I kind of forgive the backstory. I’m intrigued to see where they go with that ship because they’ve really gotten themselves into a pickle here….but I think the writers have been plotting this scenario for a while, so hopefully it’ll be good. Overall, I love where they left off all of the major ‘ships – they are all in intriguing places. And to me, OUAT is about love, all love…and fairy tales tend to include romantic love so I don’t have a problem with the amount of time the show spends on romantic storylines/pairings.
Colin’s been spotted at Comic Con, people!!! He is in the building and very soon – ok 12 hours give or take – we’ll start to get feedback on the TWO panels he’ll be on! TWO!!! Because he’s awesome. (Ok, maybe I’m a little excited…)

ParticipantYep ALL my absolute fav moments are mostly “the little ones” as well ellemo- I’m just going to marathon the CS moments tonight & tomorrow & see if I can narrow it down any lol 😛
The “When I win your heart, it will be because you want me”. “If it’s broken it means it still works”. Killy wiping Emma’s tears away & the CS coconut scene all rank highly for me as well, so does the ‘Your hand it’s hurt, let me see; it’s fine; No it’s not; Oh so now you’re a gentleman; I’m always a gentleman’ moment- the E22 kiss is up there as well, but that includes the ‘you are a hero Swan; you are too Killian…’ bit…. I also love the hospital ‘smile’ scene too 😉
It’s like that with Charming too- my all time fav moments with him was when he comforted Emma on the stairs when Neal 1st ‘died’, When he did practice Sword fighting with Henry (that was also my fav Neal moment as well 😉 ) & the look on his face when he told Snow not to pressure Emma in S2E01, then Snow blurts out “we need to talk” to Emma lol.
I’m with on the CS friendship as well ellemo, it’s actually what I 1st LOVED about CS & what drew me to the pairing. I’ve have said from the get go that if nothing else CS had to be BFFs- because that is what Emma needed most in the world- someone who would stand by & with her NO MATTER WHAT & I see that in Killian- Loyalty.
As a rule I dont like repeats of plot points (ie Dark Curse that cant be undone- broken & undone, then redone & broken again), but I almost want to see what they’d have Killian do in a situation where he was told by someone “questionable” that he should leave Emma cut contact with Emma to fight a certain battle/ face something alone or something like that… I cant see Killian going with that advice as I think he knows he cant just ‘not show up’- given they had him already tell Neal point blank that he doubted Emma would take him back due to his leaving her. It could be a good way to deepen the relationship if they choose to continue on with CS past S3 🙂
What would everyone else like to see happen in the way of plot for Cs in particular?– doesnt have to be romantic either- I know I want to see more of them working together & at having those walls of their’s down around each other 🙂

True love’s kiss (I’m still working on my meta and it’s the whole point of it actually), sexy time, Emma saying ‘I love you’.

This is why I couldn’t pick my favourite moment, b/c they have so many little moments. The cononut! I love the coconut and definitely the hand-bandaging. How that woman did not just melt at his feet when he did that is beyond me 😉 And it took me a while to notice this particular one, but when Hook is ‘rescuing’ Emma from the Queen’s cells, he gives her such a look of pride that she resuced herself – so sweet! It’s just everything about them! They work so well together – Hook was right, they do make a great team – and that’s probably down to the actors as well.

I think I’d like to see Emma fighting for Killian in some way. Killian has proved time and time again how much he loves her and is willing to stand by her, I think it would be nice if Emma returned the favour.
Can’t wait to wake up tomorrow to all the Oncey goodness from SDCC. 😀

ParticipantI would like to see Hook has hobbies/job that doesn’t involve Emma. We don’t have to see him work at. References to the job/hobby would be fine. I think it is important that Hook has more in his life than Emma. I don’t think it is ever healthy for any relationship for one party to make the other their whole world. Otherwise over time Hook will look obsessive and will suffocate Emma. I want to see Hook have more wins. He gets knocked out a lot.
I want to see Emma be supportive of Hook.
Keeper of Hook and Emma's smoldering first kiss, a certain Pirate's sauciness, the Evil Queen's snarkiness, Grumpy's gruffness and a drop of true love to make it all go down smooth.

ParticipantJust a slight deviation, but does it mean I’m watching too much OUAT when I can recognise the ship they use for the HMS Inteceptor in Pirates of the Caribbean as the same one they used for the Jolly Roger? 😉
