The Smell of Plum Blossom Tea Ch 16

Summary: Just like a butterfly wing, a single act of kindness can change the course of the future, it certainly did for MK as a black furred monkey put out a hand towards him.

Rating: Teen and up

Chapter 16: The Ex From Down Under

“Bye dad! I’m heading out!” MK called as he rushed to the table and quickly stuffed his bag with all his stuff that was lying around.

“See ya,” he poked his head out of the kitchen. “If you're coming back again, I’m making some Mapo Tofu for dinner tonight if you want to stop by.”

“The mouth searing one,” he questionly asked as he continued packing without even looking at what he was putting in.

“I’ll have a milder one on the side,” he chuckled as he watched his child's fist pump the air.

“I will totally be here.”

“Alrighty, and you can ask Wukong if he wants to come,” he nonchalantly said as he wiped his hands on his apron. He then noticed MK staring at him and he raised his eyebrow, “What? By the gods know when that dumbass ever had a good meal that wasn’t from his own hair.”

“Uh huh,” was all he said as he tightened his bag then he gave him a wide grin. “Well I’m off,” he ran up to his dad and gave him a big hug before leaping out of the window free falling before stepping on a branch and hopping from tree to tree.

“…I may have enabled his window hopping habits,” he mused to himself before shrugging his shoulders and walking off.

“Remember, don’t let your body tighten so much when you get into the swing, ease up before snapping, giving you more momentum,” Monkey King lectured as he demonstrated with a staff. It was always a bit of a struggle to teach his student new techniques when he already had a style in place. Macaque always leaned more towards the silent route with swift strikes and keeping the body low, while he kept more towards the louder method of quick feet and aiming high. Each monkey had incorporated their style to fit themselves and they have taught their own moves to the other just to get more variety and not to be so predictable. Once he had learned that Macaque had taught MK his own fighting style, it was much easier to incorporate his own style into his as well.

MK focuses as he did exactly that as he jumped up in the air and landed a hit on the training dummy high in the sky. “Yes!” He fistbumped the air, it had taken so long to actually complete that move, but he has finally done it!

“Nicely done kiddo,” he grinned and ruffled his hair. “Now how about we take a small break.”

“Sounds good to me!” He stretched out his limbs as he made his way to his bag. He paused as he quickly caught the water bottle thrown at his head, “Thanks!”

“No problem,” the monkey said as he sat down next to him. “So how has everything been? I heard you got into a gang turf war the other day.”

“By the gods,” MK groaned, “that had to be the stupidest fight I have ever seen and I’m friends with Mei! So here I am minding my own business and delivering some noodles to this random dude when all of a sudden gunshots ring out and the man begins to rave like an absolute lunatic.”

As Wukong listened to the story he couldn’t stop his eyes from wandering over to MK messy hair as he instinctively scooted over next to him and began to smooth out his hair.

“-then the leader on the opposing side decides to step in cause why not?! And declares that-,” he paused as he finally felt his mentor grooming his hair after he was ranting for ten minutes. “Uhhh?”

“Go on, I’m still listening,” he said as he continued to thread his fingers in his hair.

The teenager only blinked once before going with it, “And do you know what he declares? He declares that the bowl of noodles is actually for him and guess what?! Now we have both sides gearing up for a fight over a goddamn bowl of noodles!”

“Don’t swear,” he murmured then let out a soft purr as he untangled a particular spot.

“Dad says it’s fine as long as I don’t do it in front of kids.”

“…yeah that seems pretty like him.”

“Speaking of him, you're invited to dinner tonight if you want to come,” he said.

“Yes!” MK blinked at the immediate response, but then the Monkey King quickly settled down and casually said, “Yeah, that would be fine.”

“Coolio, I’ll text him,” he waited for him to release his hair before he got up, but it didn’t seem like it hit the monkey until he saw MK eyes staring at him.

“Oh right, I should probably let go,” he gave a forced chuckle.

“Don’t worry Dad is a lot worse,” he reassured him as he made his way to his bag, “he sometimes would take hours on grooming and wouldn’t release me until he had deemed it worthy.”

“Sounds nice,” the Sage muttered.

“To you, but I was so bored sometimes that I would fall asleep just to pass the time,” he said as he was about to grab his phone when he noticed a paper. “What is this?” He took it out and saw that it was a letter, but it wasn’t addressed to him, but rather all it said on the envelope was the phrase ‘My Love.’ “Well this is weird?”

“There’s a lot of things that are weird bud, but I think you need to be a little more specific,” he smiled at his student's confused look.

“Well I have a letter that I’m pretty sure isn’t mine,” he held out the mail.

“It looks like someone has an admirer,” he teased seeing the words.

“Noooo,” he softly whispered. He already had his experience with one crazy fangirl and it took both Mei and Red Son threatening the living hell out of her before she finally backed off. He really doesn’t want anything to do with that anytime soon. “It’s not for me.”

“Well open it and see whose it is for then.”

“Isn’t that like an invasion of property and technically a crime?”

“How else are you gonna know whose it for then?”

“…touché,” so he did exactly that and carefully opened the envelope and took out the paper that was just full of writing. He felt his stomach drop as he saw who it was for on the first line. “To my dear Macaque.”

“What,” Wukong's tone was dead flat as he processed what MK just said.

MK said nothing as he continued to read and the more he read the creepier it got.

To My Dear Macaque,

It’s been so long since I have seen you, I hope you have been receiving each and every one of my letters. If not, that’s okay. I'll keep saying this as many times as needed.

I love you. I love you. I love you.

I will forever say this even when you don’t believe out of connection anymore, for you have stolen my heart and doused it with the most burning of acids that the two of us have created. It burns like the hellfire consuming my soul, it stings like the little needles digging through each and every last one of my smallest injuries and gently tearing it apart. It hurts and it hurts and it hurts and you hurt me. You hurt me and left me to my despair after I have given all of my love to you and only to you. You left and walked away after denouncing our burning heart we made together.

You left it there and it’s still burning.

But I forgive you.

I forgive all that you had done to me because I know that deep down you still feel the same. But don’t worry, once I see you again I’ll show you that the two of us were meant to last far longer than even the stars. I’ll show you that we are meant to be together even if I have to drag you away by force and give you my medicine to show you that all we need is each other. You have tasted the sweet elixir before and you were more than agreeable once the potion had set in and shown my love for you.

But I’m sure it won’t have to come to that.

We will meet soon my love, until then, please take care.

From your heart, Shun

“Who the f- who is Shun,” the monkey let out a low growl as he finished reading the creepy ass letter. “And why does he know moonlight? And what is with the creepy letter?!”

“That’s Dad's creepy ex boyfriend!” He said in a panic as he began to pace around.

“His WHAT?!” He couldn’t stop the small burst of energy erupting from out of him as his eyes glowed a dark gold and the ground slightly cracked beneath his feet.

“This is bad. This is bad. This is so so so so BAD!” MK began to panic as he kept pacing around the area and gripping his hair. “So very bad! How long has this been happening? How long since he has been receiving his creepy letters?! It’s also ready bad enough he mentioned the potion, but now he’s implying he’s coming here?!”

“Kid, kid,” Wukong managed to wrangle down his enraged emotions (hello jealously how have you been) and moved towards his kid in an effort to calm him down. “MK, it’s okay, everything will be okay,” he said as he gently pried the stubborn fingers from his hair. “I’m sure he will be fine, this is Macaque we’re talking about here, and sure that no potion he could dish up could stop-”

“It’s a love potion,” he blurted out.

“That devil concoction,” he hissed out. But took a deep breath in and reluctantly pushed the rebranded slave poison to the side of his mind…for now. “Like I said, I’m sure he will be just fine.”

“Maybe I’m freaking out. I mean he’s probably not even here or anywhere near here. Maybe dad even told him off and he’s probably not even coming. Maybe I’m just blowing this whole thing out of proportion,” MK tried to reason out.

“There we go, now breathe with me.”

“I will I will…right after I call dad!” He immediately shot towards his phone and dumped almost everything before he found it. He quickly called his Dad's number and waited for the call to go through.

BZZZZ

‘I’m not in right now, if you're calling for medical treatment or prescriptions then leave a voicemail. If you're anyone else, why? Just why?’

Beep

“He’s not answering! Time to panic!!”

The figure had just made it to the edge of the Plum Blossom Forest and out in the distance, he saw the tallest Plum tree he recognized.

“It’s been so long my love,” he lovingly whispered as he gave a few licks to his arm before quickly moving through the trees.

Happily ignoring the hisses and snarls close behind him as they all were not happy at the intruder.

Inside said home, a certain monkey's whole body twitched as he slammed his items in hand and began to match to the door.

“Fuck me, I thought his creepy ass wouldn’t be anywhere near here until next week, at least then MK would be back at Pigsy shop,” he hissed as he materialized a two sharp bladed tonfas in hand. “I had no appointments, all my stocks are good, all I literally wanted to do today was to make food, drink some tea, and enjoy a family dinner with Sunshine included but I guess not the fuck today! I guess it’s a good fucking thing I have the perfect target to direct my anger I suppose.”

He gave out another snarl that was amongst the long line to come as he dipped into the shadows once more and took off towards the intruder that every creature in the forest, whether it be animal, demon, or creature alike, no one liked the intruder roaming in their home.

He quickly ventured through the shadows, roaming from plant to tree, animal to grass, until he finally saw a ring tailed lemur with a soft smile upon his face as he paused and his eyes lit up

“It’s been so long my love,” he cooed as he tried to find the humming presence. He didn’t have time to dodge the blow coming from the front as blades sliced into him, but his smile didn’t falter as he took in the sight of his beloved. “You're still as beautiful as ever”

“And you're still as creepy as ever,” he snarled as let his tonfas glow brighter. “I thought I told you to fuck off and away.”

“It was a mere trifle the both of us had, words were said, but I forgive you,” he gently smiled.

“Ughh I really hate when you do that,” he grimaced at his former horrible choice of a partner. “I will give you one fucking chance, leave before I show you once more why you should have stayed gone.”

“I’m sorry, but I will show you with all of my heart and being just how much you truly need me,” Shun only needed to drag a foot back in preparations as a sense of eagerness thrummed deep within him. It’s been so long since he had physics contact with his love after all.

Macaque forced down the shudder as he once again disappeared into the shadows as soon as he sent some clones towards him to attack.

Some creatures of the forest were spectating as this whole fight went down, eager to watch the intruder fall, maybe if the Guardian is generous enough he’ll allow them to feast on what remains.

The forest was about to become a little more wild when first blood was spilled.

“What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?!” MK was clutching his phone as he attempted to call his Dad a few more times, but his heart picked up each time he didn’t answer.

“Kid,” he attempted to once more calm him down when he shot up.

“Yanyu! I should call Yanyu!” He quickly dialed her number and his legs began to shake in anticipation as the number rang.

BZZZ

BZZZ-

“What’s up short-”

“EMERGENCY!” He shouted out.

“GHA! What do you-”

“Big problem! Huge problem! So I was packing my bag cause I was in a rush to get to training and I was talking to Dad so I didn’t notice what I put in my bag. So I went for trainingandwhenbreakdtstartedIfounditinmybagandIcantbelievr-”

‘MK BREATHE’ it wasn’t just the bluenette, but two other voices that joined her.

“Mei, Red, what are you guys doing with Yan?” He questioned for a moment before shaking his head, “Wait, not important, there is a big problem!”

‘Well spit it out then,’ Red huffed.

‘I think he’s trying,’ he could hear Mei's amused voice in the background.

‘Both of you hush,’ Yanyu turned back to the phone, ‘Now what’s happening?’

“Shun contacted Dad. He's almost here and Dad won’t pick up his phone!”

‘WHAT!!!’ They all screamed with both Red and Yanyu being significantly higher as the adult continued, ‘What do you mean creepy fucker is coming?!’

“Fuck Fuck Fuck this is bad!’ He could hear the prince in the background slowly freaking out. ‘I thought his crazy ass wouldn’t come back!’

“Apparently he did!’ Mei yelled out.

“I don’t know!” MK hysterically said as he began to almost hyperventilate, but the Monkey King began to run his back.

“Okay everyone breathe,” he firmly told the centuries younger children on call. “You are forgetting, this is Macaque you’re talking about here, I’m sure he will be fine.”

“The Monkey King is listening to this?!” Red hissed as he accidentally showed weakness to one of his greatest enemies.

“I know he will kick his scrawny ass, but that doesn’t alleviate my fear of him getting poisoned again and being put under an eternal sleep to be used as a god damn porcelain doll again!” Yanyu shouted, bypassing the fact that she was talking to the Monkey King.

“Again!” Everyone bar Red shouted together.

‘Yeah! And you thought the love poison was bad, this is just fucked up! Now do you see why I’m freaking out!’

“Why do you think we don’t want uncle anywhere near him!” The Bull prince continued.

“Okay that’s it,” Wukong summoned his cloud, “Hop on, we’re heading over there. Even if he’s not there, it’s better to be safe than sorry.”

“Thank you!” He leaped onto the cloud.

‘We'll meet up with you as fast as we can on Mei ride,’ Yanyu said with a rush to her voice as the trio quickly went to the motorbike which thankfully has a side seat.

“Okay,” MK muttered as he held onto the fluffy cloud.

‘Oh and Monkey King.’

“Yes?”

‘You better not fuck it up,’ she said with an ominous grin in her voice as she sat in the sidecar and Red held onto Mei as she quickly revved up her engines.

“…I’ve been hearing a lot of those lately.”

‘Good! See you real soon,’ she finished as he heard the motorcycle take off and the call ended.

“I guess we will,” he said to himself as they took off for the Plum Blossom Forest.

“I really hope Dad is okay,” MK muttered as he gripped tighter.

“He will be,” he firmly stated. ‘You better be okay mango,’ he privately thought. ‘Else I don’t think your kid would take it….fuck your better be alright else I will be kicking your ex boyfriend ass and making sure he knows the meaning of pain.’ He silently hissed out in his mind as he got the cloud to love even faster as it soared over the ocean.

“What is up with the forest right now,” Mei growled out as the group sprinted through the trees with Yanyu leading them.

“I don’t know, it has never done this before,” MK confusingly shouted out as they ran through. For some reason, when the two were about to go over the forest, the cloud suddenly dropped until it was underneath the treetops, making it near impossible to travel by cloud. Luckily they spotted the others a little ways behind them and grouped up together.

“It’s part of Mac magic,” the bluenette said as she paused at one tree before darting to the left.

“What do you mean?” Monkey King asked as he tried to locate Macaque's aura using his golden eyes, but all it showed was the entire area covered with a faint pulse of violet energy.

“So you know how he planted basically all the trees in the forest right,” she got affirmations from them as they continued. “Well in the process he put his own energy into the plants, because apparently he wanted to make sure they grew up okay. Thus making this whole forest basically under his control.”

“So that's why it felt familiar,” the Monkey muttered as he remembered back to the first time he saw the forest. “It also makes sense why my true sight isn’t working.

“That would be more awesome if we weren’t currently lost in this!” Mei said.

“I know the way, he showed me after the last time Shun showed up. This forest was on a complete lockdown and nothing was recognizable like now,” she emphasized the land around them. While it seemed that nothing at first glance changed at first, if you really looked then they would notice that each tree looked almost identical to each other. No distinguishing marks, no distorted branches, not even the groves held any difference.

Each and every tree that they saw were the exact same.

“Okay that is disturbing,” Red muttered.

“Like I said, his little magic is intertwined with the forest and even with some of the creatures living here. It was supposed to be made for protection for not only the creatures living here and to anyone who may accidentally wander in, but to keep out the intruder that seeks to harm. He taught me to seek out the odd spots and openings left open in case something like this happened again. Though I don’t think he literally meant this exact scenario,” she grumbled. “He’ll probably teach you guys this after this whole thing is over.”

“We’re getting closer,” Wukong stated.

“What makes you say that,” MK asked without taking his eyes off Yanyu's back.

“The animals running,” he pointed out several animals, birds, monkeys, and insects alike, all fleeing from the same direction.

“We’re getting close,” she said as they continued to run.

It was only twenty minutes later did Red speak as he tried to look ahead, “I’m not the only one who can hear the sounds of growls right?”

Everyone nodded their ahead and just up ahead they saw a rather large crowd of mythical beings, spirits, and demons alike all grouped together and waiting as they kept their eyes firmly on what’s ahead. They follow their gaze and can faintly see, just between gaps a bright violet glow followed by a form of black mass.

It was Macaque.

“Dad/Pops!” Mei and MK yelled out for him, but he didn’t react to them as he pushed back against something else.

Monkey King wasted no time in climbing up one of the trees to get a better view with MK and everyone else quickly following him. There they witness Macaque fighting against an agile lemur who seemed to be trying to throw himself at the monkey, but he keeps dodging out of the way in time.

“Fuck it is Shun,” Yanyu groaned as Red let out a soft “noooo.”

“So how do we go about this,” Mei questioned as she fingered her sword while she watched her pops dive back into the shadows only to get pulled right back out, “cause I say we go in swingin.”

“We will not be doing any of that,” Red hissed as he grabbed hold of Mei's collar, “We have to play this smart, while Shun is a certified psychopath, he is a very smart psychopath.”

“No kidding, it’s how the two of them got together in the first place,” the doctor muttered and smirked as she saw her former teacher trip up the lemur and slammed him to the ground, but that didn’t stop her from noticing a certain brown furred monkey twitch as she mentioned that.

“Okay, we are getting a full explanation on how even when this is all said and done,” Mei grumbled and settled back down on the branch. “So what do we do?”

“We just have to wait and see what happens,” the bluenette got comfortable, “I doubt he’ll need our help, but I rather not take chances.”

“Nice plan, nice plan, just one flaw with that,” both demon and human glanced at Mei. “Two certain monkeys didn’t get that memo.”

Both of them blinked, then dropped their heads and sighed.

“Of course they would, cause why not,” Yanyu uttered as she turned her attention back to the fight. At least she won’t have to worry too much about stepping in, not that she thinks she could stand a chance, with both Monkey King and Doc's son charging in.

“You know it would be so much easier for you if you just fuck off you know,” Macaque mocked as he flicked off the blood from his blades. “Maybe you’ll still have a working arm if you run fast enough.”

“Aww you worry my dear-,” he smiled as he didn’t even flinch at the blood dripping down his arm.

“Not in the slightest.”

“Don’t fret, it will soon be over, but I will admit that I am getting a bit agitated,” his voice echoed out, which didn’t seem to do much at first as many spectators cackled at his attempted intimidation.

But then a weird smell filled the air, it seemed to have always been there as they hadn't taken notice of it before, but it got stronger as it smelt remarkably of a flower. They couldn’t quite put what kind of flower it was before-

EYES EYES EYES SO MANY EYES

EVERYWHERE

NOWHERE

CANT HIDE

NOT FROM IT

WHAT IS IT

WHAT IS PREDATOR

WHAT IS PREY

WHO IS WHO

WHERE ARE WE

WHERE ARE WE RUNNING

WHERE WHERE

Many creatures fell victim to this as they froze in place and whimpered out as they barked their necks in hopes to quell the predator or maybe grant them a quick death.

It was imposing.

It was encompassing

It was frightening.

And this only made Macaque still for a moment of the sudden smell before he got his bearings back, but that was all Shun needed as he leaped towards him with arms and mouth open wide.

Here’s a fun fact that not many know about lemurs, while they are known for being quick on their feet and agile to escape predators, there is one species who have, through a long process of evolution, developed another way of warding off predators or capturing their prey.

It was a toxic bite.

Apparently a certain species called slow lorises poison is so deadly that it can kill humans with a single bite and guess which lemur has that lucky parent.

‘Finally,’ he thought to himself as he closed the distance between him and his love. ‘I have finally got you back with me. Don’t worry, with my new potion I’ll make sure this time we won’t part,’ he lovingly thought as he tasted the special mixture in his mouth. He should really send his carrier a fruit basket when his love is properly back with him, she was the one who taught him everything he needed to know about potion making. Without her expertise, then he would have never known how to make the love potion, after all that was how she managed to snag his sire to mate with her.

Everything would finally be perfect…except for one little detail.

Not every creature was affected by the smell.

Ní merely flicked her tails in annoyance as she calmly watched.

Shui Gui took a huge breath of the smell in and puffed it out after a few seconds to reveal a green miasma cloud.

Xianglu merely shook their heads as they tried to rid of the foul smell in their nose.

BaBa just hissed at the inferior attack before nestling down.

Even the Faeries were tittering away at the pathetic illusion the demon tried to submerge them in.

These creatures, deities, demons, are just some of the few with a long history backed by so much experience that the infant lemur cannot comprehend. It was quite amusing to think that such a being could even equate to their level, even their Guardian was merely humoring him, but quite funny nonetheless. Regardless though Shun did possess the quality to allude himself to being much scarier to those around him with his…disturbing methods that he tends to use and hides himself behind his illusion. Unfortunately for him, it’s quite easy to bypass with multiple tools in hand, either physically and mentally. But more often than not, there is one sure fire method that most people tend to turn to if they don’t know which is correct.

Determination.

Which embodied a young adult as he bashed his staff against the lemur head, and a Sage monkey who punched him so hard that he left a crater when he finally landed.

Both beings were very determined to at least brutally maim the creep by the time they were finished with him.

“DON’T TOUCH MY DAD!/MOON!” Both MK and Wukong respectively shouted as they stood in front of a sighing Macaque.

“You know I had this handled right?” He looked towards the both of them, not bothering them with the possessive form both monkeys said. Though the same couldn’t be said for Shun as he was still in his spot and didn’t know who to first turn his attention to until his eye settled on MK.

“You have a child,” he said wonder in his voice as his whole face lit up.

“I’m not liking that look,” MK muttered to Wukong who nodded.

“No, no, please don’t say-” Macaque practically begged him not to say what he was about to dread.

“We have a child.”

“Nooooo,” he whispered out as he wished he could just knock himself out after hearing those words then shook it off and said with a growl. “Not your child, my child. You are not part of this equation, you're not even a variable that was left out, you are nowhere near part of any of this.”

“But my love-”

“Not my/his love,” all three monkeys stated.

“Despite our brief separation, you know it has always been a dream of mine to have a child of our own. Remember the time we spent out in the town as we laid our eyes at a beautiful family,” he almost cooed at the child's awkward face. “Two parents and two children, a boy and a girl, they looked very lovely together.”

Macaque did remember what he was talking about, he remembered his eyes lingering on the family as they were in town on a date. He couldn’t stop his eyes from lingering on them as he let a small smile play on his lips as Shun shared that same sentiment and wrapped his arms tighter around him. It used to be comforting, that small embrace used to mean ‘he is here for him, he won’t let you go’, but now all it means now is ‘he will not let you go, no matter how much you beg.’ It has turned so very confining. But he kept his mouth shut and let his former boyfriend ramble, trying to look for another way not to get bitten from his ‘love bite.’

“It was pure bliss just the two of us, those small moments we shared to the nights laid up in our nest as you laid under me as I enraptured your mouth and slowly move-.”

‘Never mind!’ He quickly burst forward and sent a high knee to the underside of his jaw that was followed by a staff to the side of the neck and a claw to the stomach courtesy of both child and friend. ‘He is not about to go there!’

“I do not want to hear any of that!” MK shouted as he backed away from the lemur after his attack.

“That makes two of us,” Wukong lowly growled as only his self control was the only thing stopping him from ripping the bastard in front of him. And even that was by the hair as he learned that new little tidbit that he did not want to hear.

“I have been a bit curious,” Shun simply stood back up and looked towards the Monkey King, “Who are you to him?”

“I am the Monkey King, you may have heard of me,” he said as he stood up straight as his golden eyes flickered in his eyes.

“How quaint,” he merely said, “but you didn’t answer my question,” a tinge of aggression laced his voice. “Who are you to him?”

Now at this point Wukong self control was almost completely gone since the first time he heard about this creepy ass bastard (which he so needs to interrogate Mac on why the fuck he would even date someone like him) and it was not looking so good. So to hear this black and white knockoff of a two legged beetle that deserves its tongue to be torn out, implies that he was the outsider in all of this rather than the other way around. Well, he decided right then and there that this nasty little bug needed to learn a few things first before he became a rotting corpse for the rest to feast upon.

“Wukong don’t you dare,” Macaque saw that look in his eyes.

“I was his friend long before you ever thought of,” he taunted and wrapped his arm around Mac's shoulder. “I have known him longer than even the mountains have formed and before towns became cities. He knows me longer than some of the forest was ever formed and before kingdoms have reached their destruction. We know each other very thoroughly, both inside and out, and seen the other at our best of times and our worst of times. It feels like eons have passed since then, but when it comes down to it you can say the two of us are made up of the same soul.” He finished his dramatic speech with a nuzzle to his black fur as he gave a soft kiss on his head. He opened one golden eye and grinned mockingly as he said, “So how long have you known him?”

Silence filled the air as they all locked eyes on a stiff Shun who didn’t even move an inch since Wukong started it. But what they could see was the underlying darkness in his eyes as he slowly blinked. Then he smiled, teeth bared and all, as he stated. “It will be a great joy when I tear out your throat and rip that nasty little tongue right out of your mouth and force you to watch as I consume it.”

“Try me,” he said with teeth bared.

Both Lemur and Monkey locked eyes with each other as you can almost see lighting shoot out of their eyes from the sheer animosity the two had with each other despite not even knowing the other for ten minutes.

The black furred monkey muttered, “And they said I’m the dramatic one,” to whom he was referring. It may never be known as Wukong and Shun leaped at each other at the same time. Macaque just groaned and decided to walk over to his son instead of the fight that was happening. “So, you met Shun.”

“I hate him,” MK instantly said as he got closer to his Dad. “I really hate him.”

“You and me both starlight, so why are you here anyways? Aren’t you supposed to be training right now?”

“So this morning I may have accidentally grabbed the letter while I was stuffing everything into my bag,” he said as he cheered when his mentor used his tail to choke the lemur while he had his arms pinned.

“Damn it, I thought I trashed them all. Must have been one that just came in,” he grimaced.

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Tell you?”

“That your creepy ex was back,” MK said with a twinge of irritation in his voice. “I could have helped.”

“Nice thought comet, but I had it handled,” he smirked as he watched Shun attempt to break Wukong's arm only to get a vicious claw to the face. “This isn’t my first time dealing with his creepy ass.”

“But I could have helped,” he almost whined, “Mei has tons of ideas for retribution and I got a very powerful stick that tends to hurt…a lot.”

“And I believe that, but I got it,” he ruffled his kid hair, “but thank you for looking out for little ol me even when I don’t need it.”

“Like how the Monkey King is doing right now.”

“He’s just an impulsive idiot right now,” he grinned sharply as he watched Shun stagger in place from his wound as Wukong taunted him as his hand dripped red. He is not totally blind to see that his friend has a protective streak wider than the Earth when it comes to people he cares for. He has certainly seen it when his leg was broken by an uppity pack of Tiger demons. Needless to say, when the Wukong got back and saw him lying there and surrounded by demons, well let’s just say that the food was pretty good that day and even had some warm blankets to go alongside with it.

So to see that this still applies for him despite their long separation, he couldn’t stop that warm burst of feeling brew from inside of him.

Wukong, on the other hand, was feeling the blood pump in his ears with each hit he landed on the bastard. And while he unfortunately can’t go full Sage mode on his ass (the forest probably won’t be able to stand if he did and he actually likes this haven his mate had created) he is still enjoying kicking this disgusting little lemur ass.

“Bet you really feeling it now,” he taunted as he broke another rib. “Can ya feel it? Each little bone in your body breaking? It must fucking suck!” He viciously laughed, “But that’s what you get when you don’t fuck off when someone tells you no, especially Moonbright.”

“Stop calling him that,” the lemur growled for the first time.

“Oh what Moonbright,” he received another growl in return. “Or maybe Mango? Moon? Moonlight? My heart?”

“YES!” He hissed out as he recklessly leaped towards the monkey.

“Nah, can’t do that,” he smirked as he grabbed the lemur arm and tossed him back towards the growing crater. Then he let a wicked smile show on his face, “I mean, he is my other half,” he emphasized. Was he making this worse? Yes, yes he was. Does he care in the slightest? No he does fucking not. He’s been wanting to let loose some of those words out for quite some time, albeit it’s under an illusion that he’s just riling him up, but damn does it feel good to say.

Before the lemur could leap back up a charge at him once more another force came into play.

“Having fun without me!” Shun felt a pain burst from his back as he saw a pig tailed girl leaped off of him with blood dripping from her sword. “That is a damn shame.”

“I had this handled you know,” Monkey King petulantly said.

“Oh I know,” she slings her sword over her shoulder, “but I really wanted to land a hit on this bastard at least once for what he did to Pops.”

“Fair enough.”

“Another child!” He said with glee despite his broken bones and blood dripping down his face.

“He is seriously messed up in the head,” she muttered as she couldn’t help but step back at his gaze though she did raise a brow as Wukong stepped beside her while he kept his eyes on the lemur.

“Okay fuck this, I’m ending it,” Macaque huffed as he stepped forward.

“Actually Dad, can I do this,” he paused at his son's words as his eyes were locked firmly onto the agitated lemur.

“MK, I’m not about to let you-” he was cut off.

“Please,” he pleaded as his brown eyes flickered to violet ones.

“…fine, but if things are looking bad then I will step the fuck in,” he huffed as he subtly sent some more shadow clones in the foliage of trees and amongst his son's shadow.

“Oh don’t worry,” he began to spin his staff as he walked forward. “I won’t even need to leave your line of sight when I get done with him.”

MK continued forward as he neared the lemur, passing by both Mei and Wukong who gave him a glance.

“I’m ending this,” he simply said.

“You need help?” The dragon's successor looked to her brother.

“Nope,” said the doctor's son.

“Well holler if you do.”

“Always happy to lend a hand,” the Monkey Sage joked as he wiped off his own bloody hand. He wouldn’t mind another round of beating to the lemur…maybe a couple more just to be fair.

“Oh trust me, I won’t,” he darkly chuckled, which surprised the other two.

MK was done with Shun, he was already creeped out before he met him, disgusted by the letter, nauseated when he first saw him, and down right pissed when he heard him speak to his Dad like that.

It was time for his Dad to be protected for once instead of the other way around. Shun is gonna regret ever breathing by the time they're done with him.

Shun's eyes lit up when he saw MK approach. “It so good to see you for the first ti-”

“Shut the fuck up,” he cut him off.

“Wha-”

“I said shut the fuck up.”

“…excuse me?”

“You're not excused,” he shrugged his shoulder.

“That is no way to talk to your parent-” he was interrupted once more.

“Well it’s a good thing that you aren’t then isn’t it, I mean if you were then I would willingly go back to my deadbeat sperm donors than you,” he mocked him.

“I’m sorry what?!” Wukong was already taken by surprise by his student's sudden shift in attitude, let alone this new heaping pile of info.

“That’s a whole nother story for later,” Mac patted his shoulder.

“But here’s what’s gonna happen, you will either die in this forest or flee from here by the skin of your teeth,” he bluntly stated.

“Oh? And what makes you say that?” He let some amusement drip in his voice.

“Have you not seen the entities that live in this forest?”

“Indeed I have and they are truly a magnificent feature, but they are no match for me,” he arrogantly said.

“…hey Red! I thought you said he was smart?” He yelled out to the tree he had previously jumped from.

“Smart as in he knows some pretty advanced science that even leaves me confused,” the Bull prince said as sat down on the branch next to an anticipating bluenette.

“Oh, well that makes sense, cause if you were really smart then you wouldn’t have even stepped foot in this forest with the intent to kill, even Ever is dangerous despite his looks,” he concluded. Ignoring the faint chuckle from the trees.

“What is that supposed to mean?” He got increasingly agitated at the despairing remark upon his intelligence.

“It means that you have an overinflated ego stuff in between your ears that replaced your brain a long time ago.”

“Meaning?”

“If you had any brain cells then you would have known that you signed your name personally upon Yama book when you stepped foot in this forest, cause let me tell you.” It was at this point that the pressure began to dip as Shun suddenly felt like he couldn’t breathe as the trees seemed to loom above him and glowing eyes were gazing upon him from the shadows. “You would have known that we don’t take kindly to people trying to harm our own, especially Dad.”

One by one, the demon, creatures, mythical and animals alike all began to emerge from the shadows with a nasty snarl fresh on their faces.

The Faeries' smiles were sharp with their fanged teeth wide with glee.

Qianglu slithered forward as they let out a terrifying hiss that thrummed in his ears.

The Monkey tribe all had their teeth bared in face of the intruder.

The Shui Gui was grinning happily as he licked his lips in anticipation.

Ní elegantly walked forward as her tails flickered behind her, but her hazel eyes only had sight for the prey.

Even amongst the trees BaBa, much too large to entirely fit in the clearing, kept her bright yellow eye, larger than all the beings in the area itself, gazed upon the scene.

As more and more beasts gathered around, for the first time in a long while, Shun felt fear.

“Welcome to the neighborhood,” MK casually slung the staff over his shoulder as he gave him a parting wave, “Let us show you how we handle intruders.”

Shun ran and ran and ran as fast and as hard as he could. But they followed.

And then he slowly vanished back into the woods as all the creatures that he thought were prey were the predators chasing after him. He really did forget that not creatures show who they truly are at first look, they like to pretend their fickle little insects that scatter at first sight of danger. But if you take a peek beneath the shell then it turns out that there are monsters lurking underneath with their jaws wide awaiting their first morsel.

So, he didn’t leave with a grand finale nor his deserved epic fight to the death. No, he simply blew out like a candle amongst a sea of lights cause in the end he knew what he really was.

Not the feared predator.

No, he was the prey and it was his turn to be feasted upon the monsters.

“Well that was easy,” Yanyu said as she jumped down from the tree.

“You're telling me,” said Red as he followed, then he turned to MK, “Who is Ever anyways?”

MK snapped out of his former personality shift as his cheeks blushed, “It’s Shui Gui, you know, Kappa.”

“Right, right, but what does it stand for?” He pushed, “cause you wouldn’t be blushing like that if there wasn’t something else.”

Mei turned her head to hide her smile.

“It..it stands for Whatever,” he whispered, but Wukong still heard that perfectly clear.

“His name is Whatever?” He confusedly asked for such a strange name.

“I was like seven! You can’t blame me!” He defended himself with arms crossed.

“Huh?”

“Ah the Shui Gui cares not for names,” Red nodded, “so he usually will respond to any. My question is why did you call him whatever out of everything?”

Yanyu snorted loudly.

“I was a kid and I was getting really frustrated with him that I blurted out the first thing in mind! How was I supposed to know that he would actually respond to it! Now he won’t let it go!” He threw his hands up.

At this point both girls are full on laughing at MK's frustration.

“Yeah, that sounds about right,” the prince nodded at his various times meeting Kappa. He was indeed the strangest creature in the forest.

“I’m lost,” Wukong deadpanned.

“Don’t worry, I’ll tell you later,” Mac said as he leaned into the simian. It felt good finally having that bastard out of sight once again.

Wukong did the same as he wrapped his arms back around the other monkey, pulled him a bit closer, and wrapped his tail firmly around the other waist. “You better,” he faintly purred in his ears.

Macaque could barely stop the shiver at the lips so close to his face, but he managed to make it off by just shifting his body to get into a comfortable position.

Though that didn’t stop the Sage from gazing at him as he looked at his long fur once more and just when he was about to open his mouth.

BOOM!

“Alright! Whose ass am I kicking!” Daiyu screeched out as she scanned the scene for the ex boyfriend from hell. They had gotten a call from Yanyu earlier about his ass potentially showing up and they booked it there.

“God fucking Damnit,” Wukong cursed as he reluctantly move slightly away.

“He appears to not be here, Dai,” said Ahmed as he walked into the clearing with Minsheng and Bohai.

“Seemed he had left the coop,” chuckled Sheng as they looked towards everyone, “gave him a good ass kicking I'm guessing.”

“That and he is now currently running from almost every beast in the forest,” MK happily said.

Bohai gave a low whistle, “So he’s not leaving this forest alive then.”

“Nope,” came the response from all.

“That’s what he gets for messing with the King of the Forest,” Mei jokes, earning a groan from Mac.

“Don’t you even start on that.”

“What do you mean your royal highness,” the rabbit cheekily said.

“Don’t!”

“Is there something wrong your majesty,” the vulture said.

“Are you actually-”

“Did we speak out of your magnificence,” Yanyu mockingly bowed.

“Out of place your grace,” Mei courtesy with a sly grin.

“Out of turn your excellency,” MK did something with his hands as he bowed low.

“I swear-”

“Guys let’s all calm down before we get on our imperial majesty's last nerve,” Red casually said.

“Thank you-I swear to all things!”

“Our deepest of apologies your kingliness,” Wukong teased as he pressed closer to him.

“I expected nothing less from you,” he barked at him.

“Alright let’s all settle down,” Ahmed chuckled, “we don’t want to get his reverence too worked up.”

“…fuck it, I’m done for the day!” He threw his hands up and began to march back home. “If any of you guys want food then your ass better be helping me do some shit. It either helps me in the kitchen or checks on the state of the forest, more specifically how everything and everyone is holding up. Preferably the ones going are the ones that don’t mind fighting cause there’s gonna be a lot of those bastards still on edge and need to let loose some steam.”

“Yes, dinner sounds great right about now,” Daiyu said as she spread her wings and took off.

“Count me in!” Minsheng said as they began to hop into the forest.

“Same!” Mei yelled as she raced after them.

“Let me just check in on my gremlins and I will for sure help you out in the kitchen,” Yanyu replied as she took out her phone.

“I wouldn’t mind seeing what else lives in this forest,” Wukong said as he stretched his arms.

“I’ll help you Dad,” MK said as Ahmed followed close behind.

Red Son stood there as the other began to walk away with a bit of uncertainty before Macaque called back to him.

“Are you coming or not?”

“Wait me too?” Red said with some hesitation.

“If I’m letting those lunatics join in then why not,” he raised his brow.

Red gave a slight smile as he caught up and walked beside MK, “What are we making?”

“Mapo Tofu,” said the young adult.

“Will there be any spicy?”

“He has a whole tray filled with them,” MK can almost taste it.

“Yes!”

Also a shout out to Pen-Woman for the lovely idea of Protective kiddos!!

Also longest chapter yet!!! Just over 8000 words!!!

THE SEXY

HALL🎃WEEN COSTUME 🎃👻💀🍬 YOU WEAR THAT MAKES YOUR VOLLEYBALL PLAYER GO: 🥵🥺 part 2

Haikyuu!!

Ft. Tendou, Kenma, Daishou, & Aran

Part 1 | Part 2 🩸 Part 3 🩸 Part 4 🩸 Part 5 🩸

Ojiro Aran -

A Pretty AF Princess👑👸

this hubby-material, absolutely perfect creation of a man has a royal kink. It’s not up for debate!

argue with your mother if you disagree

Not in some crazy cocky sense where he thinks he’s royalty or something...

It’s moreso that he literally sees you as his princess already..... and treats you like it—even though you two have only been on a handful of dates!!!

Where you wore cute and casual outfits only.

Sooooo when you’re dressed as how this boy actually sees you....mannnnnnnnn

Aran Ojiro is all: 😦😦‘s and 🥺🥺🥺🥺’s

and a whole lotta 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩’s

Be prepared for him to shower you with compliments and attention, god damn

At the Olympic Team’s sober bar hop yall go to, Aran’s telling you how beautiful you look and how much a crown on your head suits you every half an hour

It puts butterflies in your stomach every time.

He’s dressed as a Prince to match you (which you had to beg him to wear because he doesn’t like the attention) and the entire night your new boo thing was treating you so sweetly

Kissing your hand, holding you bridal style through door frames, bowing to you 🥺🥺🥺🥺 the whole nine yards

The twins, Bokuto, and even Sakusa kept making fun of him for being so simpy

But the man didn’t care lmao! he kept speaking over the boys when they chirped him, yelling at them that they are FORBIDDEN TO SPEAK TO YOUR MAJESTY WITHOUT ROYAL PERMISSION 💀

You couldn’t stop blushing, even though you were shy... you secretly felt like you were on cloud nine by the way he was being with you, honestly

You thought the dates couldn’t get better but here we are.

“Ojiro..........” You blushed as you watch the guy you’re seeing and falling in love with Oop— press his plump and soft lips to you hand again.

“Hm?” He asks, opening them and looking up at you through his long lashes. He never removed your hand from his lips. You swooned even harder as your heart pounded, looking away. You tried again.

“Umm.... you’re just being so kind treating me like this all night even though your friends are making fun of you, and you say it’s because I am your Princess but.... you do know that YOU’RE the one that gives off a Royal vibes, right?! Your entire aura and the way you carry yourself—even when I first met you—screams King. Plus everyone says it. That’s why people keep saying how much your costume fits you. You’re Like........” You gave yourself a beat to think. “—-you’re like the kind and gentle Prince who takes over his father’s throne and changes all the mean laws that were there.... then takes the peasant girl for his wife because he only cares about true love. That would totally be you. You’re like, amazing, Ojiro.”

You were still looking away from your crush when you finished, immediately wanting to sink in a hole caused by utter embarrassment.

What am I, a damn Disney narrator?🙄, you thought pathetically.

Aran studied your features when you said all of this, his eyes softening. As soon as you were done speaking, he romantically pressed his lips against your hand again and then brought your hand down between you two, holding it.

Next, he gently turned your chin with his free hand so that you were facing him, and so that you could see the sincerity in his eyes.

You whimpered from the intensity you saw there.

“Y/N,” Ojiro began in his gentle-king voice.

“I could really go on with a monologue right now about how you carry yourself the same way you just described for me—like a Princess who overtakes her father’s throne and denounces any preexisting closed minded laws, then decides to give the humble baker—that’s me, a shot at a life of euphoria with you...... but I’ll save that for another time....” he paused, and you swore that you would never forgive yourself if the tears you were feeling decided to fall and ruin this moment.

“No! It’s you, Ojiro. I’m not even close. You’re so perfect and—“ A handsome smirk graced Aran’s handsome face, making your butterflies explode. Somehow looking at that smirk you just knew that he could tell you were holding back tears with everything in you, so, being the modern Prince he is, Aran came to your tear-saving rescue. He lightened the voice, effectively lightening the mood; but his eyes remained just as intense. He chuckled cutely before explaining the reason behind the intensity.

“Okay well uhh, hey, if you insist on calling me a Prince.... Then... as my first order of duty 👑, I’d like to ask you, my fair maiden, if would consider being so kind as to call this Prince: your new boyfriend? I mean—damn—sorry, did they even use that term back then?!”

Your heart bursted, practically springing out of your chest:

Not Prince Eric, not Prince Charming and not even Flynn fucking Rider had anything on how amazing this Prince was!

Your emotions bubbled over, letting out giggles that sounded just like a real Disney Princess’.

“Yes, Aran!” You exclaimed, lunging forward to hug him. Aran laughed brilliantly, thanking you.

You just basked yourself in this ending: Not knowing that your “yes” was the beginning..... of your fairytale.

A/N: shoutout to my upcoming King Aran AU omg I am smitten 🥺🥺🥺

Kenma Kozume -

Gamer Girl 🕹🔌

When it comes to Halloween costumes.......

You and your boyfriend Kenma are both lazy.

So when Kuroo called and screamed at both of you because you promised to go to his work’s party tonight, (especially Kenma who would look really good to his superiors) you both reluctantly agreed .... again😑😑😑

While Kenma simply showered, dried his hair and put on your cat ear head band and called it a day,

You realized that you had to scramble for a presentable costume. Shit.

You scoured Kenma’s condo since you have been staying here and won’t have time to go home.

Freaking out because you found shit all, your bf told you that you really don’t have to wear a stupid costume because this party is stupid and Kuroo himself is stupid.

Speaking of the devil: kenmas phone starting ringing with the Kuroo ringtone, meaning he was calling.

Kenma tried to ignore it, so you went into his game room to retrieve his phone for him.

While you looked for his phone near his gaming set up, your eyes fell on your boyfriend’s Professional Gamer headphones.

You placed his headphones on, fixed your glasses and decided you’d go as a cute gamer girl!

Kozume followed you in after a while when he didn’t hear you on the phone, stopping dead in his tracks when he saw you.

“Th-those are my headphones.” Your youtuber says flatly, trying not think about how mind blowingly attractive you look with them on. 🤯🤯🤯

You just pointed at his costume.

“And that’s my kitty headband. What’s your point?” You retorted, winking at him behind your glasses. “I have a costume now: I’m a gamer girl. Do you like it?”

Cat boy could only nod, his eyes growing dark. He pictured you gaming and it made him suuuuuper turned on.

You noticed and like the little shit you are, you closed the distance between the two of you and wrapped your arms around his neck. You puckered your lips asking for a kiss.

Kenma’s cheeks flared up, unable to stop himself from looking down your tight black & white tank top at your boobs.

In true Kenma style, he ignored your ask for a kiss.

“Kuroo is probably ou-out-outside, Y-Y/N. We should go.” Obviously flustered, your boyfriend quickly collected his phone from his desk and made a beeline out of his game room.

You laughed, calling out to him from your place in the room. “I saw your boner, Kenma!”

“Shut up.” You heard your monotone boyfriend call back. You could picture his blush.

You smiled.

———————————

Daishō Suguru -

Poison Ivy 🧑‍🦰🌿🥀

Your boyfriend is a self proclaimed snake . 🐍 he even recently got one tatted on one side of his chest and it looks AH-MA-ZING

But anyways... like I said:

Your boyfriend is a self proclaimed snake .

.....And Snakes like leaves 🍃

Therefore, you dressed as a leaf.

LMAOOOOOOOOOO

After you got all ready,

You Facetime’d him because he was away at a tournament and you wanted to show him your costume

When Daishō answered while grocery shopping, he was not prepared. He dropped his phone, picked it up, stared at you in awe, then he quickly hung up on you.

He didn’t want to sport a boner in the fucking meat aisle so he practically raced to the cash and called you back when he got in his car. Lol

no but fr Daishou went gaga when he saw you dressed as the sexy Poison Ivy

Not only is he a DC > Marvel Enthusiast, but Daishō loooved Poison Ivy because he and the super hero/villain had similar personalities

Poison Ivy approached DC Universe situations the same way Daishō approached rival volleyball games: with a manipulative sense, a temptress grin, and ultimately being someone no one you can tell whether they are a hero or a villain.

With all of that to consider, your man wasn’t even thinking about that because he was too busy thinking you look like sex-on-legs

He stared at your body madddd hard

“Fuck me. I wish I was Clark Kent right now so I had x-ray vision.” He groaned as he covered his free hand over his face, opening his fingers to peek at you. “What are you wearing under those leaves? Anything?!” Your snake-like boyfriend tried to sound stern, but you knew better.

“Nothing.”

Licking your red lips, you lean toward your laptop so that your boyfriend could see a close up of those red lips.

You saw him instinctively lean closer to the camera and take a deep breath.

“Your Best Friends/Name isn’t picking me up for another hour, Dai. But you and I both know that really means two hours. Anyway, I’ll slip on underwear when she gets here but I was....... sort of hoping you could show Poison Ivy that snake of yours......before then. She hasn’t met him yet🥺.”

In his rush to get back to his hotel for some hot ass web cam sex, Sugaru forgot the groceries in the car. Oh well ;)

the extra grocery trip he’d have to take later that night was well worth it.

———————————

Tendō Satori -

Skeleton Chick w Dope Clown Makeup

“Y/N CHAAAAAAAANNNNN!”

you cringed and put your hands out in front of you to protect yourself, just in time before your boyfriend Tendou tackled you on the bed you two share

You expected this, and that’s why you had strategically placed yourself in front of the bed when you finally told your boyfriend you were done your makeup

3 hours ago, you had a long talk with your red head as he sat down with his legs folded like a kindergarten student:

“Ten. I love you, but you are NOT ALLOWED back in the room until I’m done my makeup. You’re too loud, and you’re making me shake. I need precision. I promise I’ll call you in when I’m done and have my costume on.”

Just like a kindergartener student, your boyfriend gave you puppy dog eyes.

“BUT—“

“Ztttt! No buts!” You shut your eyes so that you weren’t looking at his puppy dog eyes that get you every time. “Ten, you can come in as soon as it’s done.”

You heard him sigh, so you sealed the deal.

“Don’t forget that You’ll be the first to see it, my special boy.”

“Alright!!!!” Tendou jumped up.

“Please, bring me to the room and shut the door behind you.” Since your eyes were still closed, your boyfriend hummed and linked his arm through yours, doing exactly as you asked. He lead you to your vanity and helped you sit down.

“I’ll be waiting! Cant wait to see it! I’m going to bake a Halloween cake to waste time!”

You felt a familiar kiss to the top of your head, then you heard your bedroom door shut.

God you loved that Chocolatier.

***

3 hours later, you were questioning why you loved that Chocolatier🙄, because he was crushing you under his weight after tackling you

Your boyfriend quickly rolled off of you and began his chatter.

This was both of your favourite holidays so Satori has been gushing the entire week

“OHO, you look awesome, Y/N-chan! When I was young, no one would take Halloween as seriously as I did so they’d say hurtful things behind my back and it made me very sad.....!!! Last year Ushi actually dressed up as the peanut butter to my jelly which was cool, but he didn’t know the words to the song for Karaoke......” His eyes lit up. “But now I have YOU! Someone who loves October 31st as much if not more than me! Oh, and you look beautiful AND scary! How did you do that??? Can you do my makeup like that, my love?! I want to match you! I also want to make love to you..... and—“

You reached over and covered Tendou’s mouth with your index finger.

This cutie shushed himself, making himself cross eyed because he was now looking down at your finger on his own lips

You laughed. There is so much you could respond to, but thinking about a baby Ten being all excited for Halloween and his stupid bullies making him feel like shit for it tug at your heart strings, disallowing you to say anything else to your brilliant Chocolatier:

“Ten...........I love you. Happy Halloween.” 😌

This time, you hadn’t had enough time to put your arms out before you were tackled by an enamoured Tendou Satori again.

Who do you want to see react to your Sexy Hall🎃ween Costume next?

Once Upon a Time 3x05 “Good Form” Review

(Like I was going to post any other gif for this one)

Reviews 1x01 1x02 1x03 1x04 1x05 1x06 1x07 1x08 1x09 1x10 1x11 1x12 1x13 1x14 1x15 1x16 1x17 1x18 1x19 1x20 1x21 1x22 2x01 2x02 2x03 2x04 2x05 2x06 2x07 2x08 2x09 2x10 2x11 2x12 2x13 2x14 2x15 2x16 2x17 2x18 2x19 2x20 2x21 2x22 3x01 3x02 3x03 3x04

Well, if you haven’t guessed it by now, this is one of my favorite episodes. Not only do we get to see Killian’s family and pirate origins, but we get the first Captain Swan kiss!!! Um, did anything else happen in this episode? Oh yeah, David has been cured from the Dreamshade, but now he is unable to leave Neverland without dying. Henry’s imagination starts conjuring real swords, and Neal is being hung in a box next to another box. Who could be in that one?

Summary: Lt. Killian Jones and Capt. Liam Jones head to Neverland in search of a plant that should heal anything and cure any disease, but Liam pays a terrible price when Pan warns them the plant is not what they think. Hook has to trick David into coming with him to get him cured, but he too will have to pay a price for getting cured from the Dreamshade.

Opening: The Jewel of the Realm

New Characters:

Liam Jones: Liam is the captain of The Jewel of the Realm and Killian’s older brother. He also tends to treat Killian like he is still a child, despite the fact that it seems he hand picked Killian to be his leftenant on this mission. He calls him little brother and doesn’t seem to let him know much about their journey (Killian is surprised by the pegasus sail, but the rest of the crew seems to know about it). When they arrive on Neverland it is just him and Killian who go on land to retrieve the Dreamshade. They run into Peter Pan and Liam is a complete arrogant ass. He completely dismisses everything Pan tells him, simply because he doesn’t believe their king would kill people in a war. That’s pretty much what war in the Enchanted Forest is about, isn’t it? Killing people in the name of the king for whatever the king wants. Killian at least has the sense to question their mission, but Liam still thinks their king can do no wrong. Liam and Killian argue when they find the Dreamshade. Killian wants to fight fairly in the war, but Liam is still insistent that their king didn’t lie to them about the plant. He thinks Pan wants to keep the plant all to himself (well, technically, Liam, you have invaded his island and are attempting to take a local plant with supposed healing properties from the person who lives there). Liam actually rolls his eyes at Killian and decides the best way to convince his brother is by scratching himself with the plant to prove a point. And he definitely proves one, that his brother was right and they should have listened to Pan. Killian makes Liam drink from the spring on Pan’s advice and the Dreamshade immediately disappears. Too bad Liam’s attitude toward Killian doesn’t. His first words are to call him captain when Killian is desperately asking for his brother back. I know it’s supposed to be a joke, but Liam’s whole attitude just riles me up. The Jewel of the Realm is flying back to their kingdom. Liam actually apologizes to Killian for not listening to him. Liam claims they’re going to call out the king for what he planned to do with the Dreamshade. The ship lands in their waters and Liam immediately starts dying, the Dreamshade crawling up his face (it’s kind of obscured by his scruff, but it’s definitely there. He dies in Killian’s arms. Because he couldn’t listen to his brother’s concerns over his own arrogance.

Character Observations:

Killian/Hook: So, Killian was a Navy man. All buttoned up and long ponytail. And the bangs, the bangs! I know it’s to make him look younger, but oof. He gets on the crew for not having their jackets completely buttoned and for drinking rum, and talks about good form. The captain of The Jewel of the Realm, happens to be his big brother. They are on a mission for the king. Killian seems very naive throughout all of this. Like he’s been under Liam’s protective thumb for all his childhood. We know their father abandoned Killian on a ship as Hook told this to Bae in And Straight on Til Morning, no mention of Liam, but it sounds like Liam had a good hand in raising Killian and it seems weird that Liam has become captain and Killian still doesn’t know a lot of things. I get that we, as the audience, need the exposition to learn these things, but it’s making Killian look like a complete idiot. Liam gives him a sextant with a pegasus on it to help him navigate their journey. Killian has never seen the stars on the sextant, but is the best navigator Liam has known. Liam can’t give him all the details of the journey, but tells him they’ll bring peace to the kingdom. Killian is proud to be on a hero's journey. Oh, if you only knew, Killian. Enemy ships start attacking them and that’s when Liam rolls out their secret weapon, that Killian, his brother and leftenant, has no idea about. A pegasus sail that lets them fly to Neverland. Killian looks ecstatic when they start to fly. The brothers are the only ones who set foot on Neverland (I guess this is before the ‘if you set foot on Neverland you can never leave’ rule Wendy told Bae about in Second Star to the Right). Liam finally reveals what they are on the island to find, and Killian is appalled that they’re there to find a plant. But once Liam tells him of it’s magical properties of healing, Killian is in awe and thinks about how many lives could be saved. And that’s when Pan shows up. While Liam is more interested in interrogating the boy, Killian is looking around trying to figure out where he came from, as the only thing behind him is water. Pan informs them that the Dreamshade they seek is poison. Killian looks as though he wants to laugh at the ridiculousness of Pan’s claims. Watch his face, he’s trying not to smile when he says it’s medicine. Pan tells them it’s doom and how easy it would be to wipe out the opposing side in their war. This immediately upsets Killian who thinks maybe the boy is right, but Liam thinks Pan is playing games with them, and Killian shouldn’t be so gullible. They head off to find the Dreamshade, but Killian seems to have a bit more trepidation about it. They find the Dreamshade and Killian is having second thoughts about it. Liam is still all about loyalty to the king, but Killian sees no reason why Pan would lie to them. Liam again tells him he needs to believe his king, but Killian sees no honor in their king if the plant is really poison. Liam basically tells him he’s an idiot and he needs to listen to him because he is his brother and his captain, but Killian is adamant that Pan is telling the truth and their king is being deceitful. He’s all about fighting fairly. Liam decides that in order to convince Killian, he needs to scratch himself with the Dreamshade. Killian looks extremely worried, and with good reason, because the Dreamshade starts spreading through Liam’s veins and he passes out. Killian begins to freak out. The tremor and pain in his voice is so heartbreaking. Pan comes by and Killian begs him to help, stating that his brother is all he has left. Pan shows him the waters that run through Neverland and tells him they can cure any ill (maybe that’s what the king meant to send them after?). Pan tells him that all magic comes with a price and he shouldn’t leave the island if he doesn’t want to pay it. Killian tells Pan whatever he wants, it’s his, misunderstanding what the price of magic means. Pan fills his canteen and gives some of the water to Liam who wakes right away. Killian is overjoyed to see Liam awake and without the mark of the Dreamshade on him. He immediately calls for Pan to pay him, but he has disappeared. Sailing back through the clouds, Killian is looking at his brother like he’s a god in his cabin. Liam actually admits he should have listened to his little (younger) brother, but Killian just tells him he’s happy he survived. Liam says they’ll tell their realm about the king’s cowardice in using such unholy weapons in war. Killian, again, looks up adoringly at his big bro and tells him he’ll follow him to the ends of the earth. Killian goes to look at the window as they land, and when he looks back, Liam is falling to the floor, dying from the Dreamshade. Liam dies in his arms. And then we get to see why Killian turned pirate. After dumping Liam’s body into the water for a burial at sea, one of the ship’s crewmen gives Killian his brother’s satchel and calls him captain. Killian looks like he was the one who just died. He lovingly fingers the insignia on the satchel, swearing his brother will always be with him, and then he gets angry. He burns the pegasus sail so no one else can get to Neverland (um, I’d think that would be dangerous for the ship in general), and then riles up the crew amidst the ashes floating around him to denounce their king and become pirates. He talks a lot about honor, but also says as pirates they can take as they please. So stealing is apparently good form, as long as it’s sticking it to their king. Taking revenge against his king by taking all the king has is okay because it’s retribution for Liam. He renames the ship the Jolly Roger and says how there is at least honor among thieves. I mean, I understand some of the younger crew maybe going along with this, but the older ones? Are you telling me none of these men have families that could now be in danger because they’ve decided to go pirate? But they all cheer the new Captain Jones. But you can see Killian takes no pleasure in it.

Hook and the rest of the SB crew are still in Bae’s cave looking around. Emma and Hook find markings Bae used to mark the time. Emma deduces he stopped marking time because he lost hope. Hook tells Emma he too knows what it’s like to lose hope. It seems like he’s making a concerted effort to make her feel better about the situation, but she takes it as him trying to bond with her. There is absolutely no innuendo or swagger happening from Hook, which is why I think he’s actually being sincere. Of course, David then goes into protective dad mode and tells Hook that Emma will never like him because he’s nothing but a pirate. Hook’s smirk falters a bit at that. Later on, while the women are constructing a trap to catch a Lost Boy, Hook watches Emma and drinks his rum. Killian tells them that the Lost Boys aren’t going to give up Pan, but Mary Margaret doesn’t want to hear it. She sends David to get more vines and he drags Hook along with him. Killian gets defensive, but the moment Emma tells him to go he does. David once again tells Hook to stay away from Emma and Killian tells him she’s a grown woman who doesn’t need his parenting, so it’s a good thing he’s about to die. David mentions that at least he’s going to die saving his family, which is something Hook knows nothing about, which of course makes him think of his brother, so he tells David there may be a way to save him. David thinks it would be selfish to try and save his own life over saving Henry’s, and Hook gets pissed because he’s risking his own life to help them because he’s going against Pan. David says Hook’s only there for Emma. True, but it’s still a big risk to his own safety. David once again says he’ll see to it that Hook doesn’t get Emma, and Hook quips it’s a good thing he’s about to die, so David tries to hit him, but passes out in the process. Hook tries forcing rum down David’s throat to wake him up (it works) and David is anything but grateful. Hook insists on seeing how far the poison has gotten, and when David reveals his chest, Hook realizes he only has hours left. He again asks David to tell his family, but David says he wants to help save Henry with what little time he has left. David happens to find Liam’s military insignia in the dirt which makes Hook tell David it belonged to his brother (see David, he knows what it’s like to have family). Hook makes up a story about his brother losing it when Liam had a duel with Pan up on Dead Man’s Peak and it had been attached to his satchel which had a sextant in it that could decode Bae’s star map. David eats this up, and Hook does a hell of a good job lying through his teeth so he can get David up there to save his life. He even makes it seem like it’s all David’s idea for him to go with him to get it. When they tell the ladies, Emma wants all them to go, but Hook is insistent that they find Henry so he doesn’t lose hope. David tells Hook that he’ll tell his family he died a hero instead of already leaving a dead man, and he’ll do it because if Hook hadn’t stolen the bean during And Straight on Til Morning, Henry wouldn’t have been kidnapped, so it’s kind of all his fault. Good point. Hook agrees with this assessment. They briefly bond over their deceased brothers (and how similar they are to one another), and then Hook goes on ahead up the peak. He will throw the rope down to David once he gets up there. Pan is waiting for him at the top. He wants Hook to come back and work for him again. Hook refuses. Pan sweetens the pot by saying he’ll let Hook off the island with Emma. He’ll know if Hook took his deal by killing David. Hook wonders what happens if he doesn’t take the deal and Pan reminds him what happened the last time he didn’t listen to him (if he means Liam dying, technically Killian did listen, it was Liam who didn’t). David comes over the ledge at that point, apparently having the strength to climb up the mountain without the assistance of the vines Hook was going to throw down for him. David goes on ahead and Hook seems to be contemplating taking Pan’s deal. At the top of the peak, David draws his sword on Hook and pushes him toward the Dreamshade brambles. He heard the deal Pan offered him and he doesn’t trust Hook to not kill him. Hook reveals that he lied about the sextant and the insignia. David doesn’t understand why he’d do that. David thinks Hook brought him there to die, but Hook says he’s trying to save his life. David tries to attack Hook, but Hook punches him and knocks him out. He cuts through the Dreamshade bushes and gets the water that he needs. His expression when he comes out and notices that he didn’t get cut by the Dreamshade at all is priceless. There’s a reason for all that leather. Hook wakes David up and tells him the water will save his life. David is stunned that that is why Hook brought him up there and Hook is very sincere when he tells him he wants to save his life. Hook tells him about the price, that he can never leave Neverland once he’s drunk the water. David drinks it. David wonders why Hook helped him when he got nothing in return, but Hook tells him he didn’t do it for him and winks. That’s right, piss off the now fully healthy father now. When they get back to camp, David makes up a story about Hook saving him from Dreamshade when Lost Boys ambushed them. Hook looks very uncomfortable with the praise David is heaping on him. David toasts Hook and Hook almost has that same look on his face that he used to give Liam. Emma gives her praises, and he’s still uncomfortable, until she thanks him. And then sexy Hook comes out to play. He and Emma push each other until Emma finally grabs his collar and kisses the holy hell out of him. You can see Hook didn’t think this was ever going to happen. Emma is all forceful and Hook is just trying to figure out what to do with his hand and hook. It’s adorable and hot. Afterward, he looks completely wrecked, but Emma tells him it was a one time thing and tells him to wait a little bit before coming back to camp. He touches his lips and shakes his head as if he still can’t believe that actually happened. Aww. And then, of course, Pan has to come and ruin his afterglow. Hook thinks Emma’s finally seeing him as a man of honor, but Pan has a big secret that he wants to see what Hook will do about it. He tells him Neal is alive and in Neverland, and what’s Hook: Man of Honor, going to do with that secret when it could potentially get in the way of his budding romance with Emma. Hook looks like he just got scratched by Dreamshade.

Pan: In the past he doesn’t seem to be nearly as evil. He technically doesn’t do anything but tell Killian and Liam the truth. He warns them about the Dreamshade, tells them what it actually does, but Liam decides he’s smarter than a little boy (Pan looks around 13, he’s not that little, plus he lives on the island). He warns Killian that there will be a price to pay for saving Liam’s life, and like most people when dealing with magic, doesn’t ask what the price is before partaking of it. But Pan doesn’t play games with the Jones Brothers at all. It’s no wonder Killian decided to go back there after Milah’s death, he had no idea how ruthless Pan had become.

Currently, Pan is all about playing games. Henry is goaded into a wooden stick fight by one of the Lost Boys (Devon according to IMDB), and Pan thinks they’d have more fun if Henry had a real sword. So he gets Henry to imagine it’s real, and it becomes real. Pan actually looks impressed. Pan cheers Henry on to fight against Devon (even though he still has a spear), and when Henry hurts Devon and apologizes, Pan tells him Lost Boys don’t need to say they’re sorry (so basic decency goes right out the window when becoming a Lost Boy, got it). He encourages the Lost Boys to cheer for Henry for slicing up Devon’s face. Okay. We next see Pan trying to get Hook to work for him again at the top of Dead Man’s Peak. Hook doesn’t want to work for him again. Pan is suddenly in front of Hook and says he’ll offer his passage off the island and he can take Emma with him. Hook is pretty sure Emma wouldn’t leave Henry, but Pan says she’s done it before. Hook claims he’s not interested, but Pan says they’ve known each other a long time, and he knows Hook is a survivor. Pan wants him to do his dirty work for him. He won’t take Hook’s word though, he wants action, he wants Hook to take his hook and run it through David when they get to the top of Dead Man’s Peak. Hook wants to know what happens if he doesn’t take his offer and Pan reminds him of the last time he didn’t listen to him, then disappears when David appears. Pan comes to Hook again after the kiss with Emma, telling him he should have taken his deal. Hook thinks Emma sees him for who he really is now, but Pan reminds him that he’s just a one-handed pirate with a drinking problem. Pan let’s Hook know that Neal is still alive and in Neverland. He takes great pleasure in reminding Hook that Neal is the man that Emma actually loves. He clearly thinks that Hook will keep this information to himself so he can win Emma’s heart.

David: Ok, I get that David is dying, but he’s also being a huge ass and pain in the ass in this episode. Seriously, Hook is showing actual concern about him not telling his family, and all David can do is tell him to stay away from his daughter. David, your daughter is a grown-ass woman with an 11-year-old son, who has slayed a dragon and broken a curse, I think she can decide who the hell she wants to kiss/date/fuck/hang out with all on her own. Calm the fuck down. Anyway, Hook wants David to tell his family about his whole dying thing, but David thinks it’s selfish to think about himself when Henry still needs rescuing (because they’ll just toss your body aside and not care when you die?). David tells Hook he’s coming with him to get more vines for the trap they’re building. He only goes when Emma tells him to. David has that annoyed look on his face again. They argue again about Emma, which ends with David trying to punch Hook, but passing out from the exertion. David wakes up to Hook pouring rum in his mouth, something he’s not happy about. David shows Hook how close the Dreamshade is to his chest and Hook tells him it will kill him when it reaches his heart. Hook tells him he has hours left. David finds Liam’s insignia on the ground and Killian spins a yarn about his brother fighting a duel with Pan at the top of Dead Man’s Peak. This piques David’s interest, especially when Hook reveals there Liam’s sextant could still possibly be up there, and that could get them off the island. David decides they need to find the sextant, and even if he dies on the journey, Hook can get it back to Emma, so they can get off the island. He even tells Hook he’ll be a hero, which I guess David thinks Hook wants to be. The men head off (but not before David gives Emma a big heartfelt hug and gives Mary Margaret a long good-bye kiss). David does try to soften the blow to Mary Margaret by saying they don’t know what could happen on the journey to and from Dead Man’s Peak, but Mary Margaret knows he’ll be alright. David tells Hook to tell Mary Margaret and Emma that he died a hero, and not that he was stupid and didn’t tell them he’d been dying of Dreamshade poisoning for the last few days. Hook wonders why he should do that, and David calls him out for stealing the bean in the first place that could have avoided this whole Neverland mess in the first place. Hook tells him at least he got to say good-bye and David realizes that Hook has lost someone. Hook deflects so David tells him about James and they both agree they are very similar to their brothers. Hook goes to the top of Dead Man’s Peak and tells David to wait until he throws the rope down for him, but apparently his conversation with Pan ran too long and David decided to climb up on his own. Right. Once they get to the Dreamshade, David pulls his sword on Hook because he heard his conversation with Pan. He just wants to get the sextant and get out of there. He looks absolutely betrayed when Hook tells him he made up the story about the sextant. David thinks Hook brought him there to die. Hook tells him he brought him there to save his life. David tries to punch Hook but Hook punches him. Hook awakens him after getting the spring water. David now has Dreamshade climbing up his face. Hook tells him about the price of the water, but David thinks it’s worth it to save his grandson. The Dreamshade recedes and his bruises heal when he drinks the water. When David gets back to camp he immediately pulls Mary Margaret into a passionate kiss. He heralds the women with Hook’s ‘heroics’ in saving his life against the Lost Boys, and toasts him for being a hero.

Emma/Mary Margaret/Regina: Emma and Hook find tally marks by Bae’s bed. Mary Margaret thinks the tallies stop because he got off the island, but Emma thinks it’s because he lost hope of ever getting off the island, Regina, is obnoxious as usual about Emma’s inference, but Emma says that’s how she felt every time she was moved to another foster home (she kept count how long she was there and gave up hope of staying? leaving?) Emma feels that Henry is losing hope. Her parents try to convince her that they’re doing everything to save Henry, but Emma points out that Henry doesn’t know that. He doesn’t even know they’re there trying to save him. Regina wants to know how they’re going to send him a message. That gives Mary Margaret an idea. Hook tells Emma he understands losing hope, but she thinks he’s trying to bond with her and she doesn’t have time for that. Mary Margaret’s plan is to trap a Lost Boy to get a message to Henry. Mary Margaret and Emma are threading vines together. Emma is secretly watching Hook (though she’s not really being discreet at all), and when she tells Hook to help David find more vines, Mary Margaret definitely gives Emma a questioning look, like she’s wondering what’s happening between Emma and Hook. Hook tells them about the sextant when they get back and Emma wants to go get it. Hook convinces her to stay and finish the trap for the Lost Boy, because Henry is relying on them, while he and David go get it. Both Emma and Mary Margaret notice something is off with David when he hugs and kisses them good-bye, but Emma is more focused on Henry and Mary Margaret just doesn’t think anything more bad can happen to them, so she tells David she’ll see him when he gets back with the sextant. The women lie in wait until Devon comes in trying to catch a wild pig. He gets caught in Mary Margaret’s net instead. They try to appeal to him as mothers (and with chocolate, because teenage boys will apparently do anything for chocolate, Regina?), promising they’ll take him away from Pan and back to his home. Devon informs them that the reason they’re all there is because they don’t want to go home. Emma points out the slash on his face, but Devon informs them that Henry did that. Emma looks pissed and Regina looks shocked. Devon keeps blathering on about Henry becoming a Lost Boy and a vicious one at that. Emma is pretty much strangling him at this point until Mary Margaret grabs her off of him. Regina wants to rip Devon’s heart out so they can get the message to Henry that way, but Mary Margaret is against it. She figures there must be a more humane way to get their message to Henry. Emma agrees with Regina and holds Mary Margaret back so Regina can take Devon’s heart. Emma keeps apologizing to Mary Margaret but still thinks it was the only way. Mary Margaret wants to make sure Emma doesn’t cross the line into Regina territory. Emma will do whatever it takes to get Henry home. Mary Margaret says that saving Henry can’t cost them their family. If they don’t save him won’t it break their family apart as well? Regina breaks apart a compact mirror and tells them they’ll be able to talk to Henry through it. Devon delivers the mirror and they all tell Henry they’re there to rescue him. He thinks it’s a trick at first, but when Emma calls it Operation Cobra Rescue, he believes them. Unfortunately, Pan is coming, so he breaks the mirror. Emma, Mary Margaret, and Regina are relieved and happy to have talked to Henry. Mary Margaret wonders if Henry is okay. Emma is convinced that now that he’s seen them he won’t lose hope and they’ll be able to rescue him. Mary Margaret apologizes for doubting Emma. She didn’t want Emma to give into darkness. Regina reminds her that Emma didn’t, she pulled Devon’s heart and that’s why she’s there. To do the dark things Emma and Mary Margaret won’t do. David and Hook come back and Mary Margaret is surprised by the kiss he plants on her. Both Emma and Regina are very uncomfortable with the kiss. It’s hilarious. David explains that Hook saved his life, they toast him, and then Emma thanks Hook. He turns on the charm and Emma tells him he couldn’t handle her; he pushes back that she couldn’t handle him, so she plants a big kiss on him. She clearly wants more, but pulls away, because Emma has walls. Emma says it’s a one time thing. She tells him to get firewood before coming back. He says ‘As You Wish’ and Emma smiles because everyone in our realm knows what that line means, even if Hook doesn’t. It’s a sweet little coda to their kiss.

Henry: He uses his imagination to turn a piece of wood into a real sword and then accidentally slices Devon’s face. He immediately apologizes, but Pan tries to convince him that Lost Boys don’t need to apologize for anything. Henry is forlornly drawing a house in the dirt with his sword. Poor kid is obviously homesick. Devon comes by with the message from Regina. He pushes him backward away from the camp, ruining the picture Henry just drew. Henry doesn’t believe him. He thinks he’s making it up to get back at him for slicing his face. Eventually, Devon gives him the compact half and Henry believes!

Questions:

Why is everyone so adamant about Henry losing hope? Isn’t he the biggest believer there is? He never gave up hope that Emma would break the curse. He never gave up hope that Emma and Mary Margaret would make it back from the Enchanted Forest. Why would he suddenly give up hope after being in Neverland for less than a week?

Who in the Jones’ kingdom has been to Neverland before and has been there so often that there are star charts, a sextant, and a picture of Dreamshade for the Jones brothers to use?

When did Hook ‘drop’ the insignia for David to find? When he was passed out?

How can Emma get the Lost Boys home? Most of their families are probably dead depending on how long they’ve been there.

Dead Man’s Peak looks like a strenuous hike. How the hell did David make it up there without dying first when he could barely take a punch at Hook without passing out?

How is Killian using the sextant while in the air? He can’t see the horizon from above the clouds.

Why are only two people, out of the entire crew, going to look for the plant on the island?

Is it customary to automatically draw swords and question (and distrust) locals when you’re a stranger on their island?

What dirty work could Pan possibly have off the island?

Why does Liam immediately pass out after he scratches himself with the Dreamshade whereas it’s taken David a few days to get weaker? Is it because Liam was infected right from the source and David’s wound came from an arrow dipped in the poison? And Gold took a few days before he almost died, and that was supposed to be a concentrated dose.

Do the Jones’ Brothers live in a kingdom or a realm, because Killian mentions hoping the realm sides with them when Liam wants to expose the king?

Why isn’t Emma’s super powers working on David’s bullshit story?

How far away are they from land when the ship landed in the water? They seem to have plenty of time to sew Liam into a burial shroud, which with the intricacy of that stitching, would probably take a few hours.

Seriously, where does Pan get all his information? How does he know Emma still loves Neal?

Observations:

There are 471 slash marks by Bae’s bed. They have 6 tallies then a slash, most likely representing days in a week. I counted 67 groupings (but the ones under the bed are smudged, so there could be more). This puts Bae giving up hope after about a year and a little over 3 months (going by our calendar system). I’m assuming that he went back to the Lost Boys once he lost hope, but it doesn’t explain the coconut star map. I would think he stopped counting because he escaped. Otherwise it means he didn’t use the star map to escape.

It’s great that Regina is able to keep her lipstick so fresh.

Pan blinks in and out of places just like Rumplestiltskin does. He doesn’t poof with smoke like Regina and Cora do.

Whomever the Jones’ brother’s kingdom is fighting is another race completely.

Poor Killian. Both Liam and Milah died in his arms.

Firsts:

Emma kissing Hook (sorry, spoiler)

Names:

Liam - Is the Irish short form of William, keeping in with Killian’s name which is also Irish.

So Henry believes he’ll be rescued. Emma kissed Hook! David is no longer on death’s door, but he can’t leave the island. Wonder how Mary Margaret will react to that little piece of news. Hook now knows that Neal is alive. And Neal is trapped in a box, and there is another mysterious box next to his.
