A/N: I'm getting behind in school (what, did you think I was some no-life 26-year-old? No offense to anyone who is an adult and writes fanfiction, as it will ve my hobby forever) so updates will be few. DW timeline: wibbly wobbly. OUAT timeline: Good Form-Killian's backstory.


Rose held her daughter's hand, breathing in the salty air. "Elizabeth, sweetheart?"

"Yes Mummy?"

Rose bent down, looking into her daughter's emerald green eyes. "You're going to go live with someone else now."

"Will you visit?"

Rose shook her head. "No, honey, I can't. Daddy and I...where we are going, we can't take you with us."

"Did Jonny go live with someone else too, Mummy?"

Rose choked back a sob. "Yes. Yes, Lizzy, that's exactly what happened to Jonny. I- I'm sorry." Elizabeth Tyler, now five years old, stared solemnly at her mother. "I love you." The little girl patted her mother's head. "You be with Daddy. I'll be fine."

"O- okay." Rose took her daughter's hand. "Let's go find..." She squinted at the Doctor's scribbled handwriting. "The Joneses."

"Mummy, look, a ship!"

Rose smiled at her daughter. "I think I remember Daddy saying your new brothers were in the royal navy."

"Ship!" Elizabeth clapped her hands and giggled. Walking along the docks, Rose and Elizabeth admired the different vessels (especially the larger ones, for the royal navy).

"Excuse me, miss, can I 'elp you?"

Rose smiled at the boy. "Maybe. Do you know the Jones brothers? Liam-"

"And Killian, yes ma'am. Follow me!" The boy ran off, and Rose picked Elizabeth, determined to find the two brothers. She was a bit slow, despite all her years of running with the Doctor (but she was carrying a small child, which gave her an excuse).

The boy ran back, followed by a young teenage boy and a slightly older boy, early twenties, Rose guessed. The older on held out his hand, grinning. "I'm Liam Jones. This is my brother Killian." Liam smiled kindly at Elizabeth, who pressed her hand to his cheek. Liam was sure that the child literally GLOWED when she smiled at him.

"You're my brother." She announced, sounding too mature for a five- year- old. Killian grinned at the little girl, holding out his arms. "Can I hold her?" He asked the older woman excitedly. She nodded silently, setting the child down gently, kissing her nose. "Go on, Elizabeth." The woman whispered. She took a small box from her satchel and gave it to the girl- Elizabeth. "Remember that Mummy loves you, she will ALWAYS love you, okay?" Elizabeth threw her arms around her mother's neck and cried silently. "I love you Mummy." The child's muffled voice was thick, her throat constricted.

Killian had to look away. Why would the mother give up her child? Was there no father, no way to provide for her? He felt Liam's hand on his shoulder, and looked into his brother's warm eyes. "I promise you, Madame, Elizabeth will be very well taken care of."

The mother cast her eyes around their surroundings, and pulled a hood over her long blonde locks. She smiled fleetingly at the brothers and at her daughter before disappearing into the shadows. Elizabeth took Killian's hand tightly. "Where will I live now?" She asked. No loud crying, no fits...it was almost as of she was EXPECTING for her mother to leave. "Will I have a new mummy like Jonny?"

Killian shook his head. "No, our Mummy died when I was little. No Dad either- he left us...alone." He smiled brightly. "Let's show you your new room, okay?" For the moment, Elizabeth seemed to have forgot her mother's departure, and grinned. "Yes! And can we go see the ships too?"

Liam laughed. "You were born to be at sea, I know it! Yes, Sister dear, we will go to the ships later."

ONCE UPON A TIME

I stood at the bow of my brother's ship, 'The Jewel of the Realm', enjoying the sea spray. I was sixteen years old, and a guest on Liam's ship.

"You were born for this, little sister!" My other brother, Killian, shouted, standing at my side. I turned to him and grinned. "I've waited ten years for this day, Killian! To be on a voyage, at last!" I spun around, giggling, and was caught by my older brother. Killian smiled, his blue eyes twinkling. "The sea is in your veins, Elizabeth. That much is clear."

"Sister, how are you faring so far? Not sick, I hope?"

Oh, Liam, always the jokester. "Me, seasick? You must be thinking of another Elizabeth Jones."

Liam smirked. "So it wasn't you who spent a whole trip hanging over the side of a fishing boat, emptying your stomach?"

"I was six, it was my first time on a ship! Besides, I thought we had agreed to never speak of that again."

"No, Killian agreed to never speak of it again. I wasn't on that trip."

"Captain, do we lower the sail now?"

Liam checked his watch and nodded to the man. "Yes, lower it. I want this journey over by sundown."

"Sundown?" I frowned. "Liam, where are we going?"

My brother shook his head. "Classified information. This is a special voyage, King's orders."

"Damn the king!" I shouted angrily. Several sailors gave me furtive glances. I glared at my brother.

"I am your sister, Liam. You agreed to my presence on this ship, and you will tell me what exactly is going on."

"Confidential." Liam repeated. As an afterthought, he smiled. "Don't worry, Elizabeth, it'll be a great adventure."


I remember this episode. *bawls* My poor Killy! I STILL have mixed feelings about Pan...he was absolutely amazing (or rather, Robbie Kay was. Hm...I should ask my friend for a Robbie. But she's already getting me a Dean Winchester + Impala and a Tom Hiddleston, with a Benedict Cumberbatch later. Asking for a Robbie might be too much.
