So I had so many questions in the reviews and my answers to some were quite long, so instead of a chapter right now (don't worry, I'm working on it! ;) ) I decided to post a chapter answering the questions you guys asked.

Questions/Reviews

Answers

First, there have been a few people who asked if Killian has his left hand back.

Yes, he does.

Winter-Rae asked:

So his cursed self has his hand back. I wonder if that means when the curse is broken he'll still have it or will he lose it all over again?

You'll know when the curse is broken ;)

Winter-Rae asked:

Oh, I have to ask, are you going to include the episode about Hansel and Gretel?

I think I might because Winter-Rae had the same idea that I was considering. That it could be a chance for more CS bonding.

A few people have asked about Gremma and whether or not Graham will die.

That will be answered in chapter 11.

Kristina'sMyName asked:

Oh and when will Captain Swan have their first kiss?

Even I don't know that yet, but I'm just as excited as the rest of you.

tate4eva reviewed:

Is Gold aware of who he is? I know in the series he remembers in the pilot but it doesn't seem to me that he does now.

Yes, Gold does remember, but he doesn't want Regina to know that. He's acting as he has for the past twenty-eight years, because he knows that Regina suspects that he has his memories, he just doesn't want to advertise it because Gold uses information to his advantage and him having his memories means that he has an advantage that no one knows about.

Response to ADVluv4life's review (mild spoilers about Snowing, CS, and Gremma kissing and memories:

And Snowing was beautiful, so beautiful. So precious. No memories back after their kiss though, I was slightly shocked at that.

For Snowing, the reason that it didn't work, despite TLK, was because Charming isn't the Savior, he's not the one who can break the curse. Though Mary Margaret may or may not start having weird dreams.

As for CS, Killian's memories will come back slowly in dreams and instances, as opposed to Graham's instantaneous ones, because Graham has a strong connection with Emma due to saving her parents. The curse also is weakened with Killian, which allows him to believe David and Henry about the curse.

Winter-Rae posted this and while it not a question it makes me think that I should definitely clarify this for all of you guys:

Personally I don't think Emma has any reason to be mad at Killian over what Graham and Regina are doing. It's really none of her business. I think she's really overacting about this and needs to get over herself. It would be different if she had asked Killian about them and he had outright lied to her, but he didn't. So yeah, that part doesn't really make sense to me.

Think about in my story and how I'm trying to keep Emma canon. Emma does not trust easily. Look at the actual show: it took Emma all of season 1 to let Henry in and now in season 3 she is still having trouble letting her parents and Hook in.

Now look at Emma in my story: She has just been able to admit to herself that she has feelings for Killian and that almost have her a panic attack. She is terrified of letting him in. So she is looking for an excuse that their relationship won't work. She's trying to run away, because despite how good she feels about Killian having feelings for her and waiting for her, she is waiting for the other shoe to drop. It has been like that her entire life. Nothing good ever happens to her and when it does, something bad happens anyway. She's trying to end it before anything can start because prolonging it would only hurt worse in the long run. Emma has never trusted people since Neal. She has walls and letting people in is a huge deal for her.

And it's the same with Graham. She was just starting to trust him because she considered him her friend. And Emma has never had friends before. It has nothing to do with Graham and Regina because Emma knows it's not her business but it's the principle of the matter that two out of three of her first friends ever were actively keeping a secret from her (mostly Graham though). It hurts her to think that they can't trust her when she's trying to trust them and it is so much more difficult for her to trust than it is for them.

Does that make sense?

I hope that it does.

Starlight000 asked in regards to Chapter 10:

Can I ask, what your favourite part of this chapter/others?

Always feel free to ask these questions because I would love to share with you guys.

My favorite parts:

Chapter 1: It was Emma's shock at Henry showing up and her and Killian meeting, and Killian being so at ease with ticking Regina off. I love that they hate each other.

Chapter 2: Marco and Killian's interaction. I hadn't planned on Marco "adopting" Killian, but when I started writing this part I was just like...what the hell, I like it so I'll do it. Also, I love Killian being friends with Henry. That relationship I planned on. And the coffee thing. I started doing that and by Chapter 5 I was like, 'oh yeah, colin and jen have that BTS pic with coffee' and I was just happy I did that even if I forgot that they did that.

Chapter 3: Emma's line "You going to make a habit out of this?". Graham and Killian, I love having them interacting. "Jerk" "Bitch" was a Supernatural reference.

Chapter 4: Killian and Mary Margaret sticking up for Emma. Killian flirting with Emma and Marco pointing out that Killian liked her. Killian helping Emma just as he does Henry, by believing in them.

Chapter 5: Emma thinking about the notes Killian left her. Gold watching Killian because he's still pissed about the whole ordeal back in the Enchanted Forest. Emma kicking Killian's chair out from under him and that whole interaction between them. Mary Margaret saying that if the curse isn't real, that it was up to both Killian and Emma to help Henry believe in something. "I found you."

Chapter 6: Killian talking with Mary Margaret because it shows that there is friendship there. And Killian being able to read her like he can Emma and Henry. Killian and Emma tag teaming against David. Killian going back to confront David alone. Charming's pain over everything, not because it's happy, but because it makes you feel for him. "Oi, watch it Swan girl." - which was a Doctor Who reference.

Chapter 7: Killian calling Marco out on liking Granny. I don't know why no one ever thinks about them as a pairing, but I always shipped Marco and Granny because of their willingness to do anything to protect their loved ones. "You do this because you know that coffee puts me in a good mood." "Oh, found your weakness, have I?". Killian and Emma finishing each others thoughts. CS confronting David again and Killian offering David help.

Chapter 8: Killian helping to protect Ashley and then burning the contract. That gives me chills. Killian's speech to Sean. Gold slipping in "charming" into the conversation. Killian calling Emma out on her walls.

Chapter 9: Mary Margaret and Emma bonding and Mary Margaret calling Emma out on her feelings and being sentimental. Killian and Graham, just Killian and Graham. I seriously love them as much as you guys do. Getting inside Henry's head was great, and I didn't want to leave him out again after the last chapter and that was perfect. Especially when he and Killian bonded. Killian calling Regina out on treating Henry like a possession.

Chapter 10: Killian, Emma, Henry, and David interacting at the party. So many Charming Family feels just in that entire section. Killian and Emma's scene, especially Killian's speech (partly inspired by Tangled parallels but twisted to fit Emma and Killian). Mary Margaret and Emma bonding once again. Gold playing dumb with Regina was fun to write. Jealous Killian and Captain Charming. Both of the Snowing scenes.

Any more questions just PM or Review. Hopefully I can answer them all.

Seriously though, thank you all so much for your support and your enthusiasm for this story. It makes me happy to know that I'm helping you guys through the hiatus and that you guys enjoy this story. Because it's helping me too, I'm just as much of a fangirl as anyone out there.

Working on the next chapter now. It's a hard one. I hope to post it soon.

Love you all!
