A collection of drabbles highlighting Emma and Killian's struggle to navigate through 21st century dating. Drabbles will not necessarily be in chronological order. Ch. 10: Emma and Killian have had a very long day. Hurt/comfort fic set post 5x02.

Emma and Killian find themselves trapped in the Enchanted Forest of the future where they are greeted by their own 20-year-old daughter. Together they must fight to defeat the powerful Dark Sorceress Morgana, who threatens not only their happy ending but the future of all the realms. Follows canon through 3x22, AU from that point.

The progression of Daryl and Carol's relationship through the seasons through their various "first" times.

He's not quite sure how it happened, but there's no way around it. He has become friends with a prince. His brother would have been proud. After he'd stopped laughing, of course. (For ouatwithadashofrum for her CSSS gift on tumblr, and her request was for Captain Swan, Captain Charming, baby!fic and angst) Mild spoilers for 4B.

"Red leather jacket, hair flying around you, smudged mascara from the melting snowflakes on your eyelids, but he looks at you as he did in that castle, that ballroom where you could have danced with him until sunrise." CS one-shot based on TSwift's 'You Are In Love'. S4ish onwards.

It showed how far her walls had fallen, that she could use that word so casually as not to even take note of it. But he did. Oh, he did.

"There are no happy endings for villains." Stuck between darkness and the light, Hook grapples with what it takes to be a hero. Will his unending love for Emma redeem or destroy him? Follow our dear captain as he discovers who he is and where his destiny lies. CaptainSwan Starts after Hook's lips are cursed and continues until after Hook Emma visit the past.

In the Dark Hollow, Emma watched as her two potential loves nearly lost their shadows, and therefore their lives. What if Hook had not escaped unscathed? In a desperate bid to save him, Emma may have inadvertently bound them deeper than true love ever planned. Follows canon up to Season 3 Episode 07, then departs in my own merry way. Captain Swan. Emma POV

Storybrooke might be her home now, but that doesn't mean she wants to be still living with her parents when her baby brother is ready to go off to college. And then, of course, there's the pirate who gave up his ship but refuses to admit he misses having a real home. (The title is a quote from the beautiful (inside and out) Audrey Hepburn.

Do me a favor, she asks, then runs off into the night without waiting for an answer. One of these days, he thinks, he's going to stop doing this woman's bidding. Today, however, is obviously not that day. Killian Jones, aka Prince Charles, and Maid Marian have an awkward conversation. (Prequel to "Every Day I Write the Book".)

"I'm in the book now." To say that a lot has happened tonight is something of an understatement, but Emma is determined to make it all fit together on the same page. (Post-322. The title is stolen from the amazing Elvis Costello.) This is a Captain Swan story. There is mention of Outlaw Queen. (Constructive criticism is ALWAYS welcomed.) COMPLETE.

Emma's on her period. Killian's on a mission to make her feel better.

He'd be willing to bet in her mind he's an unscrupulous pirate infatuated with her daughter, and he doubts any of those things is going to help him bond with Emma's mother. (Except maybe the piracy thing. Banditry and piracy are not so dissimilar when you take away the modes of transport involved.) post 3x20-Kansas

Emma misses Netflix and Chinese take-out. But there isn't any in the Enchanted Forest. Or is there?

Snow White has planned a large royal ball, but Emma just wants a night alone with her pirate. After all, it's not the dance, it's the partner that counts. Fluffy one shot written for a Tumblr prompt.

Captain Swan. Emma and Killian share the stories behind their scars. [Set after the Season 3 finale.]

In the face of the threat posed by Zelena, fate and circumstance conspire to bring Emma and Henry to the Enchanted Forest before the re-casting of the Dark Curse.

Tumblr Prompt: What if it wasn't Neal who broke into the shop in 3x15? What if it was Rumple, and he sees Killian with Belle. In his crazed state, Rumple thinks Killian wants to hurt Belle, so he attacks Killian, but Belle stops him. He disappears and leaves a hurt Killian with Belle. Belle calls Emma, and she rushes to the hospital to see Killian. Captain Swan.

CS. Set after Zelena has gone but no time travel ever took place and Emma hasn't got her magic back: "Well, this is awkward." Captain Hook's lightly spoken words hung in the air between them causing Emma Swan to let out a sigh and roll her eyes as she shook her head in annoyance. "You think?" she snapped irritably gesturing to the large heavy chain that joined them together.

Emma and Hook find themselves drinking together. Emma challenges him to a game of Truth or Dare. Takes place after "The Evil Queen" S2E20.

Her parents may have fallen madly into true love in a day, but in the real world, these things take time. And it's a long way from feelings for someone to true love. Even when he's already fallen.

Canon Divergence: "What the hell did you do that for? You could've been killed," Emma Swan accused loudly as she stalked up to the one-handed pirate who had just blocked and eventually killed a rather nasty looking flying monkey that had been almost on top of her. "I thought it was obvious, Swan. I was saving your life." Emma/Hook, Captain Swan, some Outlaw Queen, some Snowing.

Emma and Killian are together. And then they're not. And then they're snowed in. (post-finale, CaptainSwan, break-up and make-up)

Post Season 3. Snow offers Killian and Emma a break from their adventures in the snow in exchange for watching Baby Neal. As a now hesitant Snow leaves her son with his sister and a pirate, Killian and Emma get a small taste of child care. ONE-SHOT.

Caught in a moment between fixing the mistakes of the past and trying to find their way home, he realises that hope - much like fire - can be a good servant, but a cruel master. Missing scene from 322, "There's No Place like Home". It's also kind of a prologue to Every Day I Write the Book. (Vague? Moi?)

"Why do I need to see the world when I have you by my side?" Captain Swan one-shot. Brace yourself for feels.

Five times Emma and Killian do and do not kiss after the finale

When Emma can't sleep, she finds herself thinking about all the many sides that make up Killian Jones.

Request from Tumblr where Charming and Snow find out about Emma and Killian. Captain Swan, Captain Charming, and a whole lot of other Charming family feelings that include Killian. Basically 3k words of cavity giving fluff.

After defeating the Wicked Witch and returning to the Enchanted Forest, a prince arrives with the goal of winning Emma's hand in marriage. He attempts to snare her with a love potion, but Hook intervenes and winds up activating the potion himself, causing Emma to fall in love with him. The effect is temporary, but it's going to be a hell of a ride until it wears off. Captain Swan.

My thoughts on how things could develop for Emma and Killian over the course of the final four episodes of Season 3. Captain Swan ahoy!

Following the attempt to summon Cora in 3x18, Killian has a nightmare of his own ghosts coming back to haunt him. Emma notices that he's awake and comes to talk. Inspired partially by the lyrics in the title from "Shake It Out" by Florence And The Machine.

One-shot. Killian and Emma have a brief discussion about one of the greatest television shows of all time. Captain Swan. And Spuffy too, I guess. ;)

Series of ficlets following Emma and Killian's journey to love with a little Jello on the side. Killian believes that Jello contains medicinal properties and no one has the heart to tell him.

Daryl Dixon hated hospitals. He hated the way they smelled. He hated the bright fluorescent lights. He hated those stupid gowns they put you in. He hated all the sick people wandering around. But mostly he hated the way those doctors and nurses looked at him, like he was just another trashy, redneck junkie trying to score a prescription for Oxy. AU, no zombies

With Swan's mind so focused on something other than the here and now, any interruption of her thoughts was going to startle her. Still, Hook tried to be as unobtrusive as possible when he softly asked, "When was the last time you slept, love?"

What could mundanely go wrong, when living a life outside? A humorous look at some of the perils found on the road. Complete.

Carol had always been there, even when he didn't want her to be. Daryl on the other hand hadn't been the best emotional support, even when she needed it the most. Ch. 3 - ' "Sophia? Sophia baby? Can you hear me?" Carol kneeled before her daughter's grave and placed a small flower that she pressed and put in her pocket on the grass. '

This is my first Caryl fic, so be kind. Daryl thinks he's got this life and everyone in it sussed, but he's seriously mistaken.

"Carol considered the prison to be a home, but it was a home that had taken much more than it had given... The walls of the prison didn't deserve these secrets, these private conversations." The losses pile up but the group grows in numbers - life at the prison for Daryl & Carol after Daryl leaves to retrieve Merle and bring him back to the group. (Spoilers for all of S3)

Thoughts and fears of what she might find at the end of the trail terrified her, but she pressed onward. She couldn't give up now. If Daryl was lying somewhere wounded and alone, she would never forgive herself for not moving heaven and earth to find him. "Please, Daryl, hang on until I find you. Please." Established DarylxCarol romance.

Pre first-half S3 finale. "Some people see scars, & it is wounding they remember. To me they are proof of the fact that there is healing." The lives they used to live were gone. But how much of who they used to be had been swept away too? A story of two damaged souls discovering going forwards means going back & facing the things that once held you. Rated for language/adult themes.

When all of Rick's plans fail and the prison is lost, the group is separated. Before they can reconnect at their new camp, Daryl decides it's time for Plan "D". But can Carol handle it and is Daryl up to the task of charming this damaged woman in a broken world? Rated T for some Dixon language, but rating may change to M in later chapters.

After getting the showers cleared out, Maggie, Beth, and Carol take the opportunity to relax and talk about 'normal' things, much to the embarrassment of Glenn who sits outside the door, guarding. He immediately jumps at the chance to let Daryl take over guarding, knowing full well the conversation Daryl is about to hear. Based on a prompt.

For all the noise the prison makes, there's one sound that stands out about the others. Subtle Daryl/Carol for those that enjoy. And if you don't, it's so subtle, you'll probably enjoy it too. :)

Love wasn't the adequate word, or maybe it was a lack thereof, he couldn't figure it out. Rated for language. Bad at summaries but give the story a chance and allow yourself to smile, blush, fan girl, relate, and/or laugh at the content. Daryl x Carol ONESHOT

He's never had someone he would kill to keep safe before. He had fought for his brother, sure, but when push came to shove he left him as fast as he would anyone else. Caryl oneshot. Spoilers for S3 Finale.

At the request of CheapTrixie - another TWD Caryl fic. A "missing moments" fic from S3E10 onward. Will be as in-canon as possible through the finale... Carol/Daryl rotating POV, but lots of other character development as well.

A little drabble about how Carol came to be wearing Daryl's coat in the season 3 finale.

In the darkness of their prison cell, Daryl and Carol come to terms with their losses, and to a new understanding of each other. This story takes place a few days after the season 3 finale, so don't read unless you've watched it.

Carol knows when he's trying to tell her something. Drabble, Post-S3 Caryl.

In a world of perpetual sorrow and suffering, happiness is a luxury, and the simple word 'love' means more than ever before. A series of short Caryl drabbles to keep my fingers busy and imagination active. Only read if you're all caught up on the series.

There is no privacy in a prison. They should have known that. From a prompt by SepticLovebite, "A fledgling relationship they've done their best to hide, getting caught in the act".

Post "Arrow on the Doorpost." Daryl watches the group members' reactions, then has one of his own to Carol.

War. We're going to war. The realization washed over her and threatened to spill out from behind her eyes. She only opened them when she heard his characteristically gruff voice from the top of the stairs. It was hard work being strong, but somehow she knew she'd manage. [Post 3x13] (Carol/Daryl teaser)

She didn't want to die with regrets.

The group take shelter in a church for the night. One shot. Minor Daryl hurt. :P

Carol shares with Daryl how she really feels about Axel copping a bullet in the head.

When Merle makes assumptions about them, she doesn't deny them. Daryl can't decide if it's a good thing or not. Oneshot, set around 3x12, speculative.
