ParticipantLove the pic @KillianJones 🙂
That recap was hilarious @Jenna_B!
@callmeLola that little fanfic alone had me wanting mooooooore dang it & I dont usually read fanfic (I dont like to confuse anyone else’s version of characters with the actual writers/creators versions lol)… but that little gem needs to be read- it;s just perfect!
~Killian and Emma both still in front of Granny’s before they go back inside at the end of 3×22~
“Do you know what else I missed?” She pulled away from his kiss, forehead resting gently against his.
“What’s that, Swan?” He breathed, eyes half moons, hazy with love lust.
“This.” She kissed him again, softly. “When I was kissing you – past you – it was like being with you but not really. Just like with my parents. At first it was easy to pretend I wasn’t me and it was a different you.” She stroked the back of his head, fingers playing with the tufts of his hair at the base of his neck. “But I knew it wasn’t really you. And that hopefully you wouldn’t remember that bar wench. But then I hated that you didn’t know me and that it wasn’t us.” Emma held his gaze as a small smile tugged at his lips.
“But everything else in the Enchanted Forest – the real us – working together and just, all of it – it was so easy.”
“Well I wouldn’t say it was all easy.” He chuckled, “We met a few obstacles.”
“That’s not what I mean. I mean being with you was easy.”
“I told you, Love, we make a quite the team.”His hand stroked her jaw, twirling the strands of hair in his fingers.
“But we’re not just a team, Killian.” She smiled and leaned into him again, pressing her lips against his because now she finally could without anything holding her back, mostly herself.
It was everything she always wanted and had been too afraid to let herself have. And it was easy, they just fit perfectly together. She remembered him comforting her after she thought her mother just died, him leading her around the dance floor, and just being by her side every step of the way. Always there to hold her and catch her and even try to rescue her. But he’d always been by her side. Ever since he came back to Storybrooke to help them go after Pan, he’d been at her side dutifully.
She pulled away again and looked into his beautiful blue eyes that she could finally admit to herself make her more than a little yearn.
“We’re home,” she breathed, lightly brushing his exposed chest, placing her hand just over his heart
Right… I want to do yet another re watch LOL….. heaven help me 😉 I wont even devulge where I lost count of the number of times I’ve watched the kiss- It’d probably be considered right up there in the “unhealthy” number of times category lol 😉

Participant^^^ Thanks 🙂 I wish there was a way to show you all these posters I make at full size they’re all made to be wallpaper size but I mean obviously they just wouldn’t fit here 😛

ParticipantI’m not sure who posted the wish fulfillment link, but I think that to deserves to be brought here as well, as it it makes some very valid points.
Wish Fulfillment:
Basically, Adam and Eddy said this episode was “wish fulfillment”, and it’s been pointed out in several posts and replies that that’s kind of EXACTLY what the Emma/past!Hook stuff was all about.
Let’s break this down. Killian — present day Killian — tells Emma to keep his past self occupied. Emma doesn’t ask how she ought to go about doing that, nope, girlfriend just tosses aside her cloak and starts adjusting the girls. This is clearly a woman who has thought about this before, these are not the actions of someone who is “disgusted”, “scared”, or otherwise “uninterested” in the Captain.
In fact, I’d say it’s quite the opposite. As I pointed out in an earlier post, the whole scene with her and past!Hook was largely her living out a fantasy that she simply couldn’t do in real time, because in real time, things with Killian are complicated, things with Killian are rife with scary-as-*fudge* (for her, at the time) emotional complications. She can’t just kiss Killian and have it mean nothing, she can’t flirt with him and have it mean nothing, she can’t let herself give into all that sexual tension they have and have it mean nothing. With Killian, herKillian, in their own timeline, things are messy.
With past!Hook? None of that exists. So she gets to be free to do what she’d really do if it weren’t all complicated with feelings that, at the time, she wasn’t ready to face up to just yet. She enjoyed the hell out of her time with him, and you can clearly see that she likes him, all forms of him, in all times, and you can see how well they work, no matter what the situation. Also, though she’s been warned that he’s the scary pirate captain that she needs to be afraid of, but she never is. Her line “we both know I’m his type” is more telling than it first appears. Because she knows who he truly is, and she knows that she’s not in any danger with him, that she never has been.
That’s part of the gig, that’s the whole True Love schtick of it all, which Killian hints at later, when he says that had he remembered any of that night, he would’ve gone after her.
But in all honesty, the sequence of scenes with past!Hook was there to show us that Emma is not nor has she ever been, uninterested in him. It’s just that she wasn’t ready to face up to all the other feelings that went along with the base needs. Because with Killian, it’s not just about sex, and it’s not just about getting along, or being in love, and it’s not just about being kindred spirits … it’s about all of those things, all rolled into one, and it’s hard to accept all of that when you’ve had a lifetime of none of it.

ParticipantHaha, I LOVE people kind enough to do wallpaper sized pics/graphics, as it gives fans the best desktop wallpapers to choose from (although my current wallpaper is Legolas & Tauriel, my last was my fav CS wallpaper- which is fanmade 😉 )

Participant^^ ^ Still can’t get the quote button to work lol but yeah I that’s kind of my thinking I’d like to think of all the posters I’ve made somebody out there that’s seen them has used one for their wallpaper

ParticipantNeither can I KJ :/ & believe me, I’m sure someone has- I mean I dont know the names of the people who each created the fantastic wallpapers I’ve used in the past, but if I did know- they’d each get a great big thank you, you guys do the fandom a fantastic & usually thankless service 🙂 So thank you, for creating graphics & then allowing us access to them to use for our own pleasure 🙂

ParticipantAww that’s so nice of you to say surayya thank you 🙂

ParticipantOH…..MY…….GOSH!!!!!!!
Okay crazy theory time just so then I can remember if I’m correct. So I’ve been seeing this post around
So obviously these two are the same. And we see the first one on the Jolly Roger, probably in possession of past!Hook since it’s in his cabin. And then we see the rusty one Rumple has for who knows how long.
Crazy theory but what if Killian has the one with Anna in it. Without knowing it holds something or someone. Since you know he’s a pirate, he likes gold. He likes nice looking things. And it appears he doesn’t even look at it twice so it obviously doesn’t have much of value.
And here each villain needs a motive. All of the ones we’ve had are family related and I don’t see this one being any different. Except this time, Elsa will be trying to get revenge for a family member and not on one.
She could’ve easily been captured with Anna many years ago, and finally escaped to get revenge on Killian for having Anna. And we’re just going to assume Killian didn’t know the power it was keeping ahold of. It seems to be not easy to escape the vase/bottle, which is why we see Elsa destroying it as soon as she escapes.
Killian could have handled his bottle so many times and not accidentally release Anna because well, they’re not easy to open. And I know this is crazy but each true love couple has a villain. We had Regina for snowing in S1, we had Cora/Killian (ish because you know precious puppy pirate isn’t a true villain whatta cutie) for Rumbelle in a sense that Rumple was the target. And then Pan for Rumbelle, and Zelena for Snowing in a way for their baby but also partially Outlaw Queen to try and destroy Regina. But we haven’t gotten our Captain Swan villain. This could be that villain trying to seek revenge on Killian and I know this is crazy. But I think it’d be a great twist for Anna to have powers too, maybe “tropical powers,” from the line Anna had in frozen, being the opposite from the ice powers Elsa has.
It’ll be a great change from a villain going head to head with Regina, which would be great since we always see Regina using a fireball. But I think we really need a CS villain. We still need someone to try and separate these two because what was separating them before was Emma’s stubbornness but now we need Emma to fight for her relationship, I don’t know maybe even lead it up to TLK?
I know we wont get very long having happy CS moments next season- this is Once/Adam & Eddy after all lol…. but I will die if we get our movie moment & then go right back to square one again, again…. & since the urns are the same (how did I NOT catch that in the many rewatches I’ve done!?! ), it looks like this is EXACTLY the direction we’ll get taken in (Elsa going for Killian)….. I love the idea of Emma having to fight for her Killy & maybe getting a CS TLK for the effort next season….. but good lord, I SERIOUSLY hope we at least get a couple of eps…. or even just 1- I’ll settle for 1 ep of happy CS together & life is good episode. I REALLY, REALLY want them to continue on with character development over plot development, I think that’s their strength with this show- when they go all plot over character development, it tends to get very chaotic & the story almost feels disjointed from the characters with-in it, since we loose so much of their responses & reactions to what is happening.
I think thats why I have LOVED this season so much, like S1, we got character development over plot development for almost all the episodes this season- we got to see & experience our characters grow & develop in a massive way. It’s also a large part of why I LOVE the movie so much- it was basically 2eps of focused development of Emma’s character, so she & her relationships/with Family & Killy/CS, could be in line with the 3 other TL couples & honestly that is much of why that ep rocked!
So here’s hoping with the bumpy seas a head, that our pay off is cannon TL couple 😉
& on an unrelated note, is anyone else worried that Anastasia will have bitten the dust & Will, will be brought on to pair with Elsa o.O I doubt they would do that though, as isnt there meant to be a Frozen squeal? & wouldnt that be centered on Elsa? I am looking forward to seeing where they go with this Frozen concept- I’m not sure i like the idea of an “evil” Elsa though (but that could just be because I never once saw her as evil, she was only trying to protect her sister from being harmed & it’s not her fault her parents & the trolls put the fear of god into of hurting/killing her sister. But I also totally see why A&E want her on the show- I mean it screams Onceverse lol)

Participanto_O I totally didn’t see that! (probably because I was looking at Colin…) Oh wow! Man, people really do have eagle-eyes!!
Edit: Ohh and Hook did say kidnapping a prince sounds like something he would do. It’s not a far step to princess. Perhaps there is a princess in there…
If one is to engage with the primordial forces of darkness, one must expect a little social awkwardness
