A captain swan AU that turned into something else...

Emma likes to sleep with her window open. She never quite realized who she'd be inviting in.

Another curse hits and takes Emma to a new, horrible land. Hook can't let her face it alone.

After arriving back in Storybrooke, Emma and Hook battle with their growing feelings for each other while they are thrust into the chaos which erupted while they were gone. Deals are made, promises broken and love grows all while the threat Cora and Regina's dark magic looms over the town.

A scorned queen, a stolen heart and a destroyed compass later, and Hook finds himself waking in a locked room on his own ship with a new crew member to keep him company: Emma Swan. Both will do anything to return to Storybrooke - but that may just be what Cora is counting on. An alternate storyline following Hook and Cora's conversation in 2x08. Captain Swan.
