As he approached his car, he heard a frustrated curse off in the distance. He turned toward the sound and narrowed his eyes. A girl, his age, was climbing out of her outdated Honda. Brunette, long legs in tight jeans, button up blouse, with a fitted tweed blazer. A grin spread across his face as he immediately recognized the driver. Lucy Preston. HS AU. Multichap. Lyatt.

His neighbors may be brightening their own holidays, but they're ruining the constant melancholy of his life. He's determined to keep to himself until the single mother that lives next door to him drops literally through his door two nights before Christmas. It's the moment that may be temporary, like everything else, but it may just change everything.

After their first week outside the bunker, Lucy and Wyatt spend New Years Eve together...and it's a disaster.

He's one bad trip from ending up in AA, and she's one performance away from a solid job and moving closer to home. Their paths were unlikely to cross until Camp Hope brought them together. How and why they meet and intertwine is against the odds, and definitely against the rules, but will that really stand in their way? A Dirty Dancing inspired modern au.

She ran away from him. He couldn't blame her. He broke her heart. The gulf between them was insurmountable. He was too late. [one shot] (Lyatt)

He knows that she is all he wants, all he needs. He chooses her, and even if she never chooses him again it doesn't matter. He will love her and no one else, even if it shreds him to pieces. [Lyatt. One Shot.]

Even through all the hurt, he was still her cornerstone, her touching point. Through all the curveballs, all the twists and spins and hurricanes, some lose thread of her life would always lead back to him. They've gotten Rufus back, but the fight isn't over yet. A look into season 3 Lyatt. Oneshot.

PR Director Emma Swan moves to Pittsburgh intent on restarting her life. But playboy shortstop Killian Jones is making her job a hell of a lot harder with his antics. CS AU.

"It's, uh...too bad this bunker didn't come with an attic, huh?" {lyatt. post-S2. oneshot} (TFP)

Amidst all the awed surprise, the absolute absurdity of seeing her own self standing in front of her, the thing that sticks out is Rufus. They're here to save Rufus. Future and present Lucy and Wyatt take a trip back to Chinatown. One-shot.

"She knew he wouldn't answer. Even though it was her eleventh call, he wouldn't answer, and she knew why, deep inside. It was the only reason he would leave." / Lucy makes a drastic decision. Lyatt romance; Garcy friendship. An imagining for the rest of the season, starting canon-compliant and veering into AU. Song-inspired.

As they go through the first week of settling in to their new apartment in Palo Alto, California, it quickly becomes evident to Lucy that she and Wyatt's sleep schedules don't exactly line up. Fluffy future fic with just a touch of angst

"With the pool reflecting over her face, the stars of Tinseltown winking overhead, and a flurry of nerves whirling through his stomach, Wyatt goes for it." { A selection of fluffy Hollywoodland vignettes / lyatt will rise again, friends }

"Let's make a deal, okay? You talk a little, we kiss a little. We both get something we want." (2x02 tag because lyatt has wrecked me yet again)

"She's not a dream. He didn't make her up. She's home." (lyatt bunker fic, post 2x01 episode tag)

"Her gaze slinks back up to his and it's like a whole new universe has been breathed into existence. There's layers upon layers of copper and caramel peering back at him, the depths of all the trauma she's been holding so closely, the said and unsaid of what's building up between them." {post-S1 ; lyatt two-shot}

AU. Chuck and Sarah are partners in the con game. It's an existence wrought with danger and violence. Every day could be their last. Every mission could be the end of the line.

Emma decides the best way to get Mary Margaret off her back about Walsh is to say she already has a boyfriend. Except she doesn't. That's where Killian comes in. Fake!Engagement fic.

"It's all melting away into the color of whiskey - her eyes, the new drink that's just materialized in front of him, the glossy polished bar, his sloshing thoughts - it's all whiskey." {a.k.a. lyatt getting drunk and disorderly; post-S1 oneshot}

Adjust the lens, let a little light in, and even the broken bits can transform into something new and dazzling. { lyatt . a series of vignettes . post-S1 . timeless big bang }

Lucy gets an early morning phone call. The rest of her day is not what she expected it would be. Not even close. [Wyatt/Professor!Lucy, post-season 1]

One bar, a rowdy booth full of Delta Force's finest, plus a double dose of the unbreakable Preston girls; two worlds are colliding at long last. {future lyatt oneshot} (TFP)

"Just when his defenses were finally down and the scars of his past were beginning to heal, the one person he wanted to be with most was always out of reach." You know the drill by now - it's lyatt, it's a oneshot, and it occurs post-S1. (TFP)

"The first one is so quiet, so subdued, that he thinks he must have imagined it. Sometimes his brain can be a real bastard like that, constantly manufacturing false alarms and worst case scenarios when everything is perfectly fine." There's a nightmare, a few zombies, and the elephant in the room finally gets some attention. {post-1x16, now a two-shot}

He leaves a persistent imprint on her heart no matter how much she fights it, and there's nothing gentle or mild about the mess they've made of this middle ground. {canon through season 1, lyatt oneshot} (TFP)

"Time ticks on all around her, but she sits without a word and lets the darkness close in, lets it sweep her far away from the life she once knew." This last family secret might be the one that breaks her. Picks up directly after 1x16, The Red Scare. [ lyatt all the way ]

In which Killian confesses to David and Emma. Spoilers for 6x12.

A business deal, a rented family, and eggnog threatening to hit the fan. The longest running Christmas story in the history of time.

[Now with extras] When Emma Swan's car breaks down outside of a small town in Maine, she finds herself stuck at the local garage, but as the repairs take longer and longer to complete, she has to decide if, in the end, she wants to leave the town at all.

It's only supposed to ever be one night, but before they know it, it's a doorway in Paris, and an apartment in San Diego, and a blinking low battery light in Maine. Emma knows she needs to let Killian go, but there's always that one day a year she can't seem to stay away...

Emma has a question. Killian might have an answer. Based on set photos/speculation for the season finale.

When in the wake of a messy breakup Emma makes the impulsive decision to return home to her parent's ranch in the Rockies, she certainly doesn't expect to find a strange Irish guy living in what was once her apartment over the garage, and she definitely doesn't imagine that the home she couldn't wait to be rid of five long years ago would be the very place her heart begins to heal.

It isn't exactly her fault she's come to trust a man she's never met over, well, any other man she's actually met. It's what makes all of it safer, easier even, knowing that there's no way she can actually fuck it all up by running away when she's already away to begin with. Pen Pals AU.

Emma Swan isn't new to one night stands, and that's mostly fine with her - until the past shows up when she least expects it. (Christmas two-shot)

Henry calls in to Killian's radio station to ask for his Christmas wish – a boyfriend for his mom. CS Christmas AU.

Emma's been thinking about the future a lot lately and she's only got the piece of silver around her neck to blame. Post-Underworld.

She's not, by nature, a gambler. If anything, she's quite the opposite. Emma Swan doesn't take risks. She doesn't put everything out on the line. She never expects that kind of payout, especially some cosmic one based on randomly getting lucky. But luck has nothing to do with poker. [[Captain Swan Modern AU]]

I am an author and you are at my booksigning but why are you handing me these scrap papers to sign? Wait - is that the first story I ever wrote and trashed because some people at high school made fun of me by reading it out loud? And now you're here, not to tease me, but because you liked my writing even back then? Captain Swan AU

Killian Jones is one drunken mistake from never setting foot on a movie set again. Enter Emma Swan, the woman his manager has paid to pretend to date him and clean up his image. It seems straightforward enough...but there's always trouble with faking it. CaptainSwan.

It's one of the oldest stories in the book. Two old friends have a few too many drinks, two old friends share a kiss. Happens all the time, right? But what happens when only one of them actually remembers it? (Captain Swan AU, with a side order of Snowing, mention of Emma/Walsh)

Fresh out of prison, Emma's not a student at Boston University. She's just using the library while she studies for her GED exams. Killian doesn't know that though, and Emma doesn't ever want him to find out. Not when he's the first friend she's had in years.

She's tired. Tired of answering stupid questions, tired of looking at beautiful travel books but never actually going anywhere. Her best friend just wants her to be as happy as she is, but Emma knows there has to be something more out there for her. All she has to do is find it. Or, as it turns out, let it find her. Captain Swan AU

While both are eager to renew their courtship, there is one final hurdle that must be crossed — a prince has also come to the Enchanted Forest with the intent to win Emma's heart and he may prove a more dangerous rival than Killian could have imagined.

When Emma Swan gets an invitation to her ex's wedding, she isn't expecting to find it still hurts. Determined not to "lose the break-up", Emma recruits the snarky Irishman she chases down bail jumpers with, to assist her in her somewhat ill-conceived plan to save face. Absolutely nothing could go wrong, right? Captain Swan AU. M for swears.

As Emma's twenty-eighth birthday approaches and Henry becomes more and more distant, Regina decides trusting in her wicked abilities will no longer do – Emma Swan must be stopped from ever reaching Storybrooke. Lucky for her, a certain pirate would do just about anything for revenge. AU, Captain Swan.

A bit of Jolly Roger appreciation and general Captain Swan fluffiness after this weeks episode. Written for scribblecat27's birthday.

He knows there are witches and demons and dragons still tobe slain, but at this precise moment in time, he can't say he cares. Coda for "Poor Unfortunate Souls", contains vague spoilers for Shady Snowing. (For my BFF scribblecat27 for her birthday)

When a historic country inn in Maine is offered up as the prize for a writing contest, Emma Swan only enters because she's sure she won't win. But when she makes the first round and is invited to Storybrooke, Maine, to visit the property, she realizes the prize is much more than a building; it's a home. Based off real life events. (Oneshot/Captain Swan)

All the air is punched violently from her lungs when his first three words are a question, one eyebrow arched high on his forehead in curiosity, "Who are you?" When the Snow Queen lodges a shard of glass deep in Killian's heart, how can Emma remind him of who he is when she cannot even remind him who she is?

The twenty-first century descendants of the Crawleys, now without titles, but ruling the new elites with far more power and wealth than Mary and Matthew could ever have imagined. Consider it the AU S55.

Later, her mother tells her that she literally flew up the spiral staircase of the clock tower, and Emma has to admit she can't actually remember her feet touching the steps. Post-411, missing scenes and expanded canon abound, spoilers for 411 galore.

"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.

There's team bonding, and then there's Team Bonding. Captain Swan AU in which there is laser tag, team bonding and a kiss. Oh, and don't forget the aftermath. (COMPLETE: Thank you all so much for your readership and your comments and your encouragement. So grateful for it all, and this wouldn't have been as much fun without you!)

One-shot. Hook's POV when he's outside the diner in the finale through the Kiss. An exercise...or filling in the blanks...or excuse to watch the scene over and over. In slow motion.

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.

He's an adventurous man, but some things truly are an acquired taste. (prompt: Hook made that quick comment about Granny's lunch specials in the last ep. How about him eating lunch at Granny's everyday trying out this world's food and giving Emma daily updates on the meals he likes and doesn't like.) CAPTAIN SWAN

Realising you've packed the wrong shoes to go with your skirt and you have to rethink your whole outfit is bad enough.

Captain Swan AU (prompt: Accidental Roommates) COMPLETE, AND THANK YOU FOR READING! Mwah!

Captain Swan AU. Killian and Emma knew each other in middle school before she was taken away to a new foster home. They meet each other again years later as neighbors in an apartment complex. Contains smut.

The cows are due to arrive at Downton Abbey and Charles Blake is on hand to help settle them in. But the course of true animal husbandry never did run smooth. Now Christmas Special compliant and including the long-awaited Epilogue! More romantic than the summary might suggest... (Then again, whoever thought a scene involving dehydrated pigs would be hot!)

Hook helps Emma remember which of her memories are real and which are not. Prompted on tumblr from the famous Hunger Games scene.

She knew it was Wednesday, because it had been Wednesday every morning for the last four days, and she was the only one who seemed to notice. AU for the end of 3.11; Regina stops the curse, but there are consequences. Captain Swan.

Emma likes to sleep with her window open. She never quite realized who she'd be inviting in. All things considered, however, Captain Hook showing up in her bedroom after midnight is hardly the worst of his offenses. Emma knows how to handle Hook. (AU post "Welcome to Storybrooke". Unapologetically Captain Swan.)

In the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, a Catholic plot against the queen comes to the attention of spymaster Sir Francis Walsingham. To protect Elizabeth, he develops an unusual plan: hide the passing of intelligence between two agents by a false romance.

An atrocious act somehow, someway leads to joy, love, & well...Grace./ AU Halfway through Xmas Special/Matthew & Mary's happy ending, even in a seemingly impossible situation. Complete.

Post S2 Christmas Special-Missing scene before S3 (no spoilers). Breaking the news of their engagement to their families would never have been a typical event for Matthew and Mary. (I have borrowed my friends briefly from Fellowes, they will forever live with him)I always imagined that M/M may not have just announced their engagement blatantly, and this is the product. Enjoy!

Chuck never expected to even make it to the Olympics. Everything is working against him: he's too tall for a diver, too inexperienced for a medal, too much of a wildcard to really make his mark. But an unexpected meeting at the airport, some intriguing new friends, and a whirlwind romance on the sand just might set up London 2012 as the time of Chuck Bartowski's life.

It's the 1870s in the American Southwest. Charles "Chuck" Bartowski, after avenging the death of his sister, falls in with gunslinger John Casey. There's a range war in El Dorado, and Chuck finds himself on one side of the war. And on that side is a woman named Sarah Walker.

Prequel to Vs. The Bunker. S3 AU. After Chuck downloads the 2.0, Chuck and Sarah actually start communicating. Also they start double secret dating, while trying to take down the Ring. The Globetrotting adventures of Team Bartowski. With 'splosions.

Not the same plot as the movie. Sarah Walker never got out of the con game or became a spy, and now she's on her final con. What happens when true love and betrayal get added to the mix? Twists, turns, and Jeffster!

AU. The CIA and Fulcrum never reached Stanford in 2002. It has really changed Chuck, Bryce, Sarah, and others. Will the future be significantly different, too, or are some things just inevitable?

Seven times Sarah Walker lets Chuck Bartowski take care of her.

Sarah and Chuck reconnect two years after she leaves L.A.

5 situations in which Chuck and Sarah have to "sleep" together to maintain their cover plus 1 bonus story. Complete!
