ParticipantHow about, instead of Hook cheating on Emma with Milah, Milah thinks Emma has stolen her man since Hook told her that he has moved on with Emma?
I think this alternate scenario would work better and it would make more sense than having Hook cheat on Emma.

I agree with this too.

ParticipantWhat do you think about, instead of Hook cheating on Emma with Milah, Milah thinks Emma has stolen her man since Hook told her that he has moved on with Emma?
That could be a very interesting twist.
You also have the fact that Milah was pretty much just a plot device to connect Rumple, Hook & Neal together & get Hook to SB/EF in current time, which gives you so much more room to play with her character & what she would or would not do/ how she would or would not react etc.April 19, 2015 at 9:22 am #302015surayya
ParticipantOh & POM,, when you do get finished with your fic, please do post a link here- I’d be interested in reading it 🙂
Obisgirl can you pretty please post a link to your fic as well? I want to read it when Once finishes for the season 🙂April 19, 2015 at 9:32 am #302017obisgirl

I didn’t say it. But they are. Most first loves I’ve noticed on this show are plot devices.

Sure!
I sent you a PM. The fic, is um, well, is not suitable for posting a direct link here.

ParticipantA small taste of chapter 1 (I’m hoping to get the story mostly written before I start posting anywhere plus I’m reworking some of the chapters so that they better fit with the new story I have in mind). Let me know what you think.
Henry sat silently in Granny’s Diner, finishing his plate of fries as Emma looked on concerned. “You okay?” she asked, brow furrowed. “You’ve been quiet all day”.
“Yeah, fine” answered Henry, eyes focussing on his plate instead of his mom. He didn’t want her to suspect anything. Tomorrow was Father’s Day, the first one of many he was supposed to spend with his dad, and if all went to plan, the first he would be spending with him. His dad was gone, dead, and he never got the chance to say goodbye. Tonight would hopefully change all that.
Emma wasn’t entirely convinced but she decided to let the matter rest for now, Henry would tell her when he was ready and pushing for an answer would only make him clam up more. “I was thinking maybe Killian could stay over tomorrow night” she said, trying to change the subject, as she grabbed her car keys and stood up to leave.
“Yeah whatever” Henry shrugged as he followed his mom out to her car and climbed into the front passenger seat, placing his rucksack by his feet.
“Okay, good” nodded Emma, starting the car. She turned on the radio in order to fill the awkward silence that was accompanying them on their journey home to their new apartment. When Blondie’s One Way or Another came on, Emma decided to sing along.
“Mom, stop, please! You can’t sing” Henry pleaded, a reluctant smile starting to appear on his face.
“What? I’m a princess!” Emma teased lovingly. “All princesses can sing. Hasn’t Disney taught you anything?”
“All the Disney princesses can sing in tune” Henry laughed. “You can’t!”
Emma pretended to be offended. “How can you say that?”
“What? It’s true!” replied Henry, a broad grin on his face.

ParticipantVery nice start, @POM. And I agree, the concepts of either Emma thinks more is going on between Milah and Hook, or Milah feels like Emma has ‘stolen’ Hook work better than Hook actually cheating.
Haha, as pro-CS as I am, I also love the idea of TinkerHook (my backup ship in case A&E lost their minds and for some reason didn’t proceed with CS – yeah right!). I think theirs was a bit of a friends with benefits type of relationship. I definitely don’t see them as having a ‘brother/sister’ relationship, but I can see them as being real friends who maybe blurred the lines a little in the past.
My thoughts on the whole Hook/Milah thing…ok, I don’t hate Milah. I do, as a mother, have a REALLY hard time liking her, though. I know she was miserable, begged Rumple to leave with her before she left with Hook, etc etc, but there’s no way I could ever leave my child, especially for a romantic relationship. And, I’m not sure I think Milah did think she was in love with Hook when she left so much as both Milah and Hook were looking for someone to save them – Hook from the pain of losing Liam and Milah from Rumple. I do, of course, believe they did grow to love each other.
The 300 years of revenge part…now see, that’s where I’m not 100% positive Killian’s quest was always pure. I don’t think he realized when he took off for Neverland it was going to take 3 centuries for him to return. And while in NL, it almost became cyclical – he wanted revenge, nothing changes in NL so there’s no way to move on from that state, Pan constantly using that desire to get Hook to do his bidding – then meeting Milah’s son in NL brought up all of those conflicting feelings all over again…if Hook wasn’t in NL but was able to live, say, in the EF or even our land for 300 years, would he really have spent that time searching for revenge, or would he have learned how to heal? I think the way he fell for Emma, the intensity and quickness of it, yes, Hook was still talking revenge but really, I think he was ready to move on. He gave up that revenge so quickly and easily, I think the real quest to kill Rumple was over long before he finally got the opportunity to act on it.

I think so. I think Hook always wanted a healthy fresh start, so he wouldn’t have to pursue his revenge. I mean, he hoped that re-do would be with Bae but Bae turned him down and Hook felt that he had no other options. And remember what Killian said to Emma in the season three finale, if he had remembered that mysterious bar wench he would have dropped what he was doing and go after her. He’d have dropped his quest for revenge and seek out his new happy ending but he didn’t remember her and his life continued on the path of revenge. I think he always wanted a healthy way to heal but was never truly given a chance.

I agree.

ParticipantI think the theory that Neverland prevented Hook from moving on from his revenge so he was always stuck in limbo with it is an interesting one, not least because it does actually give a reasonable explanation for why Hook seemingly moved on so quickly after the Emma kiss. It would also explain why Nealfire spent ages not forgiving Rumple then seemingly forgave him quickly.
Perhaps even Pan controlled Neverland that way? All the people that end up there are “lost” and Pan wants to keep them in that state therefore he can’t let them deal with their problems or issues and overcome them otherwise they wouldn’t be lost anymore.
Pan and Neverland didn’t let Hook move on from his revenge (also because Pan probably wanted Rumple out of the picture), when Hook managed to leave Neverland for the final time, he probably still had those feelings of vengeance to deal with, but the longer he spent away from Neverland the more he was able to deal with his issues and overcome them.

ParticipantAlso, Adam and Eddy kept on saying about Neverland, because you never grow old, you don’t have a future. The only thing you have is dealing with your past. And we saw multiple characters in Neverland deal with their past in different ways during that arc.

ParticipantI wish Neverland had been a full season arc. There is so much there to still explore or at least give it its own spinoff involving Hook, Tinkerbell, Baelfire, Pan, Felix, Wendy and possibly some new characters which can deal with the unanswered questions that the main show didn’t have time to answer.
