Gothic Horror HCs But Using The Penny Dreadful Versions As Well Cus I Like Them

Hello, So recently I have been really obsessed with 1800s gothic horror literature.

My favorite books are (in order);

1. Frankenstein The Modern Prometheus

2. The Picture Of Dorian Gray

3. The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde

4. Dracula

So imagine my fucking excitement when I heard there was a show that used THOSE EXACT FOUR BOOKS!!!!

Anyway I thought I'd take the time to talk about my favorite characters from the books/show and hcs I have for them all.

Now massive Trigger Warning for some ableism/sanism from the victorian era but also current day, and also queermisia.

All of these characters are canon ND I believe based off of their canon "madness" and I also believe they were all queer men.

----

Victor Frankenstein

Victor is a trans man you must understand this. He literally has postpartum depression in the book. He is also forced into an arranged marriage with a woman but has so much more chemistry with his best friend Henry Clerval. I think he's gay and his love for both Elizabeth and Lilly are just comphet. (He loves Elizabeth like a sister tho).

Victor is also disabled in the book. In Penny Dreadful he also has asthma! I also hc Victor is autistic. In the book he has a special interest in alchemy and science. He info dumps about poetry and clocks a lot in Penny Dreadful lmao. He's also just awkward like me fr fr. There was also a rlly funny scene in Penny Dreadful where everyone noticed this one character was a trans woman and made a "face" of surprise. Victor never did because honestly I don't think he fucking noticed. Which made me laugh because I didn't either.

Dorian Gray

This man is just me sometimes and I kinda hate it. Definitely has BPD. He treats life as a fantasy and has a hard time applying reality to reality. He also will love you one second and can hate you so passionately the next. Henry Wotton is most definitely his favorite person. There's also an entire chapter in the book dedicated to talking about his hyperfixations. Dorian is also bisexual! He falls in love with a few women in the book and Penny Dreadful. But also many men! Oscar Wilde was gay and put a lot of himself into Dorian lmao.

Henry Jekyll

Look the guy with daddy issues. Seriously out of all the things they chose to adapt for Penny Dreadful this made me laugh the most (in a good way). It's a random throwaway line in the book but I'm glad they kept it because his father leads to Henry's toxic mindset. Henry feels the need to be respectful in high society and not indulge his "indecent" thoughts. These thoughts include things like murder but also homosexual desires. The man is gay, love that for him. Don't let the musical fool you. I think his other violent thoughts come from OCD intrusive thoughts. As a median system I do also relate to the duality he feels. But I also would be careful ever putting a plural reading on Jekyll and Hyde for obvious reasons.

Robert Montague Renfield

Oh Renfield so much to say about you my man. (This is where that TW comes in handy)

Ok so the R.M. of his name standing for "Robert Montague" is ONLY from the new 2023 movie "Renfield". Renfield never had a first name because Bram Stoker was an ableist dick who saw Renfield as less than human for his mental illness. So out of spite of him and love for Renfield I hc his name to be Robert in all versions. This isn't to praise the new movie for its handle on mental illness though. While I absolutely adore the movie and it's camp and message I can't look past the ableism. It constantly demonizes NPD and for the topic of our discussion writes out Robert's mental illness. Robert in the book has psychosis and periods of mania and depression. Honestly I'll have to reread his sections of the book soon and see if I change my opinion because I had a hard time thinking of a label for him. Anyway I think he has Bipolar! But this is why I prefer Penny Dreadful over Renfield 2023 for the character. He gets to be mentally ill and still do a good thing and be just like everyone else in the show (not good or bad, just gray). On the topic of Renfield 2023 again I also think they (Drac and Ren) are ex lovers lmao, I mean it's literally framed like that they just don't have the balls to say it. I now just read every version like this. So yes another Bi king! Wow this ended up mainly being about Renfield whoops.

----

So yeah as you can see I really like the books and Penny Dreadful. I loved that Penny Dreadful wasn't scared to make its characters ND coded like a certain someone *cough* Renfield 2023 *cough* and be faithful to the OGs!

Anyway I'm not a medical professional lmao, I've just researched a lot of stuff trying to figure out my own problems and it's also smth I take an interest in. The queer stuff I am a professional tho /j.

Was this post messy? Oh yeah, wouldn't have it any other way.

One of Henry's bEST looks was his August moustache moment but with the swirlyish curly hair in that suit breathe if you agree

-🐕

Oh girl, these two are definitely my faves and I can’t decide

I love the Victorian daddy because he looks so stern but then August will always be the love of my life

[justastrugglinghotchocolate]

Hey, it's me again. I've been thinking, do you think Henry is completely the one to blame for how Dorian came out? Or maybe Dorian was already in his way to it, and he would've discovered it sooner or later?

It's just funny how everyone sees Henry as a buffoon who says weird stuff and sometimes makes people laugh, but for Dorian, talking with him for the first time was a life-changing experience. Or is it that Henry specifically choose to bullshit Dorian until he got something out of it, something he doesn't try with the rest of people?

What I mean more generally is like, why did Henry's bullshitting struck Dorian so hard? I have a few more thoughts about it, but they're barely incomprehensible so I'll keep them inside my mind.

HOOOO BOOOOY YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT GATES YOU HAVE OPENED!!!

Okay, so let's start with Dorian, and let's ignore all the general Victorian setting and focus on the character and treat his tragic backstory with a modern outlook.

So, the tragic backstory of Dorian Gray. Losing both of his parents before he could know them, then being saddled with an old man who canonically neglected him, Dorian evidently doesn't have any male figures to look up to. He has been deprived of that kind of attention up until he becomes an adult. (I doubt that Basil's was the first to openly hype up his beauty; he was just the first older male figure to do so [and to do so with love, though he definitely didn't know how to express it]). So already, Dorian is unconsciously seeking male validation.

When Basil arrives, he receives it, but not in the way that was fulfilling. Dorian was unwittingly seeking familial male validation (Daddy) but was receiving romantic validation (Daddy~). So when Henry shows up an, instead of offering romantic validation, offers a guide to life (like a self-help book in the form of a piece of shit bastard man, lmao), Dorian is absolutely enchanted.

So is Henry really to blame for how Dorian turned out?

Absolutely.

Henry immediately recognizes the vulnerability in Dorian and exploits it intentionally. He may not have been the one to cause the tragic backstory, but he is the one who takes full advantage of it to manipulate a young man into his experiment. However to cut Henry some slack, it's probably because to some degree, he himself is suffocated in his own life. So, like the coward bitch (affectionate) he is, he lives vicariously through Dorian.

Now, Dorian could have definitely been headed towards the same kind of lifestyle, but without Henry its highly unlikely. Consider this: The Picture of Dorian Gray can still happen without Basil, the character. All the story needs is the loving artist archtype (I say this as a Basil lover). It cannot happen without Henry. Thus, I think yes, Henry is the cause of Dorian's corruption and eventual fall.

So to recap/tldr:

Is Henry completely to blame for how Dorian came out?

No.

Was Dorian already on his way to it/Would he have discovered it sooner or later?

Maybe, not likely.

Did Henry specifically choose to bullshit Dorian until he got something out of it (Something he doesn't try with the rest of people)?

Yes and no. I think Henry does this shit as a past time, but he made the decision Dorian would be his new experiment once he saw how Dorian reacted when first hearing his 'philosophy'.

Why did Henry's bullshit strike Dorian so hard?

In a phrase? Daddy Issues.

In a word? Daddy.

Hope this helps!

my tiktok algorithm thinks im 16 again so here is MY ideal casting of if they ever make a movie of the secret history (which i both doubt and dont want) cause ive seen way too many wrong videos. first. richard MUST be gravely misinterpreted as the good guy actually and i demand he be played by a quirky charming hollywood ingenue. less weird than timothee chalamet and more weird than tom hollad are the example vibes, like miles teller pre-topgunification, or when logan lerman was in perks of being a wallflower. the cute preteen girlcrush vibe is so important for the whole direction of the movie, and if there are y/n fanfics about him on tumblr thats a plus. next the class which in my opinion should be a bunch of overall unknown/indie actors where maybe they were in an older a24 movie or mainly do theatre or are like an obscure nepo baby. a good vibe for francis typecast wise would be jaeden martell or even noah schnapp - former portrayals of sad gay children not required but has to believably have been a sad gay child (i want the ginger hair to specifically look too fake, think archie riverdale). this is already so long jesus. charles opinion (unpopular amongst dane dehaan fancast community) is i dont want him to look sleazy at all i want him to be an all american charm prettyguy type i want them to do the same thing they did when hbo cast ncw as jaime in got, except i unfortunately dont think the actor theyd get for charles would have the range to give the complex deep performance ncw did but the guy that played the love interest in where the crawdads sing movie that i saw begrudgingly is like, an acceptably flat boring option. with henry i think you could possibly go with making him poc (most probably asian) as either "blind casting" or "updating the source material" since im not sure if a major enough part of the people who would actually go see this movie would care enough about how its missing the point of the story. still this hypothetical movie would have bad reviews anyways. i predict he would have something a lil fucked up or quirky going on with his face. camilla i want to be a girl who is maybe a model or friends with lily rose depp predominantly, in the same category as the girls they got for the new pll, NOT mia wasikowska but the vibe of when mia wasikowska played jane eyre. and in a hotd world i would even suggest milly alcock cuz i think she could agree to that and it would be fun (mia goth could have been this but shes having her big moment now and has too much of a fanbase). in a compeltely opposite vein they literally have to get a random brashy popstar girlie to play judy, like charli xcx or bhad bhabie or even just go nuts with it and get keke palmer to do it. whats important is star factor and general chaotic messy vibe. bunny is difficult bc on one hand it would be fun to me if they made bunnys character the sweet poor little pathetic niceguy whose mean friends bully him for being fat stereotype but on the other hand a guy who has the aura of a victorian dandy meets content house fuckboy oscar wilde part time model would be absolutely perfect. maybe they could do both i want it to be both. and finally julian and now i get to the tiktok that made me think about this for over an hour straight i saw someone say richard gere and to that i say yes that absolutely makes sense. pick a former hollywood romcom guy whos old now but people still call him a daddy even though he is definitely way too old for that. hugh grant is also an option. im literally so smart

Wolfie’s Fic Recs | Dad!Fics

DAD!FICS - Henry and his characters with kids, wanting kids, making kids. That’s it. That’s this list. 

Author’s note: My sincere apologies for how crazy long this list has gotten 😂 It’s like the whole fandom is agreeing on one thing: this man needs a baby ASAP. Also, thank you dear @littlefreya for your ever wonderful suggestions! 

--

With Henry

Single dad Henry is trying to figure out a hair tutorial to please his 4-year old, and it’s the most adorable thing ever. With Flowers In Her Hair by @wanna-do-bad-things 

Single dad Henry kinda hittin’ on da nanny? Picture Perfect by @fun-with-jane is a short fic series that’ll get you kinda hot, and kinda bothered (the slow burn..ARGH) 

Getting you pregnant is, apparently, a very VERY exact science including honey-wine-&-cookies.. baby. Freyja Dag by @geek-eat-repeat

And don’t forget about timing! THE TIMING! Let’s Make One Of Our Own is the sweaty hot smut you might just crave (am I the only one ovulating right now?), fic by @littlefreya. 

Sometimes it’s also just a situation of super sperm, followed by an “oopsie baby”. And when two bullheaded fuckbuddies-to-be-parents are involved, things can get pretty ..engaging: The Rules Of Engagement by @ladyreapermc (multi-chapter). 

Or perhaps it’s a situation of Henry and his untameable Hunger, by @littlefreya (yes, it’s breeeeding smut my lassies -- again, forgive me for I am thirsty) 

Pregnancy ain’t always sunshine and rainbows. There’s also a lot of change and self-doubt. But that’s nothing some coconut oil and love can’t fix, in Two Months by @littlefreya

There’s a lotttt of first times with having children, which in turn will probably give quite a few heart Flutters for poor protective dad Henry. By @littlefreya

And he’s not just protective, he’s also pretty observant. This Cute Little Drabble makes you wonder when you last bought tampons... by @toomanystoriessolittletime​

Newborns? They can be a little fussy. But again, daddy bear is here to fix it! Everything I Ever Wanted by @fuckoffbard

With the brood expanding, it’s getting a little difficult to garner the ever-craved attention of momma bear in This Is War by @cruelfvkingsummer

And when mom isn’t home? Well..the question arises what happened to all the cookies.. Daddy’s day by @angrythingstarlight

Okay, one more by @angrythingstarlight because I couldn’t choose: Baby Talk

And Henry’ll learn soon enough that changing your facial hair should go with a disclaimer. Especially when toddlers are involved. Daddy Who? by @viking-raider

And facial hair also reminds me of this fic; Domestic Life by @writernerd23 (-> “Your face is scratchy, Daddy.” <- CUTE)

The Accidental Family by me. A domestic sad-fluffy short series about memory loss -- After a motorcycle accident, Henry suddenly finds himself living the life he always dreamed of. There’s only one small hitch; he can’t remember how he got here.

And to carry on with the more sad fluff-stuff. How would Henry deal with the less rosy parts of trying to have children - like miscarriage? Negative is a beautiful fic that got me balling my eyes out and you should definitely read it if you’re in the need for some sad, sad fluff. By @oddduckthatgirl​

Perhaps things didn’t quite go as planned - whatever the plan was. This sad-to-fluff fic brings you on the rollercoaster of extremely sad to fuzzy warm and happy. Better Off by @toomanystoriessolittletime​

More tear-jerkers? 😭Falling Again by @deathonyourtongue follows struggling AU dad!Henry as bills keep piling and the loss of his wife haunts his every waking moment. 

Back to the fun stuff - *chants* Rugby dad! Rugby dad! I couldn’t pick just one from the extensive list of rugby dad Henry fics by @hlkwrites and @achaoticaugust - let’s be honest; this should be a genre on its own, so here’s a few: 

Henry Cavill, The Rugby Dad Part 2 (smut, daddy kink) I laughed perhaps a tad too loud at the drunk make-out session on the front lawn - here’s some short sexy rugby dad Henry drabbles. 

 A Rugby Dad’s Guide To Injury Time  (smut) I just love smut when it slow, sensual and JUST a tiny bit awkward because you’re on the couch and someone’s leg is in a cast 😜

A Rugby Dad’s Guide To The Off Season (smut) And after the hard toil of keeping a family up and running, it might just be time for a hot (tub) little break 

With Sy

A few short, golden moments in becoming first-time parents with Sy - including skin-to-skin daddy cuddles - what else do you want? Evermore by @hauntedelation is a fluffy fic that gets me all kinds of fuzzy inside.

Talking “short” golden moments..this one includes one short reader, a coffee mug and one teasing oaf-of-a-bear Syverson. (smut) Of Short Girls And High Shelves by my fellow Lisa, also known as @killjoy-assbutt-1112 (hi girl!) 

Cankles, have never been so hot a subject to talk about as they are in this lovely fic by @crimsonrae: Cigarettes and Morning Breath 

And before you know it, you have a whole brood. Will that stop Sy? Meh..probably not. Fourth Time’s The Charm by @cruelfvkingsummer

And once he HAS a daughter? Woof! Dad Syverson is probably just a LITTLE bit too overprotective. But that’s nothing a daughter-dad weekend can’t fix. Daddy Syverson by @connieisland​

Imagine this: one big chunky Captain Syverson and one tiny, tiny babygirl cradled in his arms. Are you melting yet? Siobhán is just the cutest little fic, by @littlefreya

We really want Sy to get a daughter huh? And that’ll be particularly funny when daughter sweet becomes old enough for Prom Night -- we’ll be back with overprotective daddy Sy who is ever stubborn, but also ever sweet. By @littlefreya

Onto the holidays: Santa brings back home a 5-year old’s one true wish in Santa Letter Wish by @lovelycavills 

And sometimes? You wish the babe would wait JUST a few days before getting born. Christmas, Baby by @its--fandom--darling

Now. To finish off the Sy vibes; are you perhaps in the need of one heck of a good series? Willow Run is one of the first series I read here on Tumblr and it is SO GOOD. I won’t blab and just let you read ❤️ you won’t regret it. By @deathonyourtongue

With Geralt

Geralt, Destiny, one stubborn girl and the Law of Surprise - it’s a recipe for great adventures and funny grumpy dad!Geralt moments. This wonderful multichap fic A Soldier’s Daughter is written by @viking-raider​ 

I know it’s canonically impossible for a Witcher to get anyone pregnant (due to the Trial of the Grasses). But you know..if ..and when..and maybe..then: A Gentle Soul by @killjoy-assbutt-1112

With Marshall

Some mild roleplaying, rough smutiness and unexpected news make this love-making sesh a wild-wild ride. Heart Of Darkness by @littlefreya

Sleepless is a wonderful multichap fic with Marshall x single!mom reader. @feralrunaway gives you awkward barbecue chat and protective Marshall being ever protective. There’s no masterlist, so here’s (I think) all the chapters: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6

Can you imagine big hunky chunk Marshall being worried when you get all teared up with emotion? Baby Blues gives you allll the cute caring dad!Marshall you need. By @the-soot-sprite

With August

A child born out of love and chaos, is all August craves when he comes back home. Mother Of Murder by @littlefreya​ (smut) 

Bad guys, accidental babies and *BOOM* suddenly it’s not just you who calls August “daddy” ((pun intended here, please don’t hate me 😂)) Surprise, surprise.. by @maya-the-cute-ass-bee

And once such that surprise happens, August knows one thing for sure: he’d burn the whole world to a crisp if anything was to happen to you and his unborn child. In this Imagine by @littlefreya

With Napoleon

Sobs, cries and accidentally getting pregnant by spies ((the puns are getting worse, I swear I’ll show myself out in a bit)). On a serious note though: this multi-chapter is an angsty rollercoaster with a tinge of fluff by @coloraturadiva - A Mistake 

With Sherlock

Dad!Sherlock fics are surprisingly hard to find, but here’s one: Promises by @zodiyack is a bit of a modern interpretation of a Victorian household, and it sure as hell is delightful!  

--

WEW! That was a LONG list - wonderful work dear fic writers! And, as ever; if you have any good recommendations that fit in this list, please add in the comments or reblog! ❤️

18+ ONLY

I would like to thank everyone who has encouraged me to write things for them and to those who have shared the things I have written. I honestly have no idea why people have requested things from me, but I’m very thankful and flattered that you have. Please review the following information regarding requests and content.

In most cases, I am personally only interested in ideas that I can turn into actual stories as opposed to single scenes or vignettes. 

I write for the following characters:

- Jacques Le Gris

- Commander Nicholas Mills

- Flip Zimmerman

- Kylo Ren - AU’s Only

- Clyde Logan - by Special Request Only

- Henry McHenry - by Special Request Only

- Pale - by Special Request Only

- Charlie Barber - by Special Request Only

- AU requests welcome and encouraged

- Dark!Fic requests welcome and encouraged

- All of my RC’s and OC’s are female.

- In my stories I routinely kill and torment the other characters from the universes of the men I write for. Specifically including Margueritte, Rey, etc. If this bothers you, steer clear of my stories. Everything I write is buyer beware for murder and mayhem.

- ALL of my stories are intended only for a mature 18+ audience. Minors and sensitive readers, stay away. You have no business here.

- A note on graphics/headers/moodboards. Although I try very hard to make RC’s as physically vague as possible, I make moodboards and headers for myself. I hope that everyone is able to picture themselves as my RC’s, and like everyone, I too do the same and picture myself when I read and write. I understand if this makes a story unappealing to some readers, and if this is the case, please pass on my stories. I make graphics exclusively for myself and to please myself. Images of women in graphics are not representative of how an RC is described or portrayed in my stories.

Below are some things that I shall not write. I will preface this by saying that I am quite impossible to offend, and I will happily discuss any ideas or concepts with you. I also enjoy reading some content with the following themes from some of my favorite writers, and it is not uncommon that other writers’ content that involves these themes will appear on my blog. However, writing requires an investment of time, so I will not be writing my own content on these themes because they are less appealing to me personally.

The following topics, themes, and kinks are those for which I will not be accepting requests:

- Cheating/Infidelity

- Breakups

- Heavy Degradation

- Daddy Kink

- Underage Content and/or ‘Young Love’ Content and/or AU’s

- Kid Fics

- Threesomes

- Pegging and/or Anal Play of any kind

- Overly Submissive/Subby male characters (Please note, this is VERY different from a dominant woman taking charge and/or a man loving a powerful woman and pleasing her the way she wants. I am very very into that dynamic!)

- Anything involving kids, minors, or animals.

- Sad and/or Downer Endings (Angst is perfectly fine and something I enjoy, but expect a happy ending or at least some closure)

- Main Character Death

- Character Ships of any kind. I do not ship any character with any other character in any fandom at any time. 

If anyone wishes to message me or discuss anything with me, please always feel free.

As stated above, I LOVE anything and everything related to Adventure, Action, Autumn, Horror, Halloween and all related themes.

Studying chemistry at the University of Michigan, he's almost far enough away to fill his lungs. Almost. While John Watson dreams of being a doctor, he also dreams of being with another man. John knows that with hard work and study, he can make the first a reality, but he's certain the second can never be. Until a secret encounter in the dark at Rest Area 818 changes everything. When Sherlock meets his new roommate, John Watson, he sees a man in the closet. Sherlock hides from no one. Except from his own family, a detective inspector who wants his evidence returned, and his secret encounter at Rest Area 818. Setting late 1970s, Michigan, USA.

Once Upon A Time Rewatch: 5x07 Nimue

I guess Merlin is the second oldest character in the show other than Gothel.

Is it a gift from the Ancient Greek Gods? 

Oh! I guess hades and Zeus might be the oldest characters in the show! 

Merlin created Camelot?

Why is Emma making things to pull memories out of people’s heads? She doesn’t know she’ll need to do it. I guess she’s trying to keep out the nightmares.

200 years earlier! 200 years earlier! Are you freaking joking?! No way in hell! Baelfire arrived in the Land without Magic sometime after Big Ben was created, so at most 161 years ago. I believe it was said that he arrived in the Victorian era, which ended in 1901 (around 119 years ago), but Baelfire said if he hadn’t stayed in Neverland for a while, he’d be a couple hundred years old. The show’s present is around 2014, given Henry’s age, so at most, Rumple became the dark one 155 years before the show’s present or at least 113 years ago. No way in in at most 87 years they had all those dark ones that watch Emma as she put the sword together! And it’s probably closer to 45 years, given that Hook and Bae say they’re around 200! 

Merlin and Nimue are a cute couple. There’s so much pain in their story! But I like the complexity of it!

I wonder why Merlin can’t see Nimue’s future.

I’m very confused. I always thought in Arthurian legend, they believed in the Christian God. But it makes sense that they would believe in the Ancient Greek Gods, given that they are real in OUAT and the Enchanted Forest people believe in them.

Emma would be the most powerful dark one ever according to Merlin.

She didn’t look ready for a proposal there at all.

Emma has spent, like, no time with her parents in a while :(.

Okay, Merlin and Nimue are very cute together.

How can that be 500 years ago if it said it was a thousand years ago! It should be 800 years ago!

Did they call them living rooms back then?

How does he know that cutting away his immortality will work?

“I do love hearing a sensible person talk.” Lol Zelena!

I’ve forgotten was Zelena working with Arthur at this point?? How did she get the opportunity?

Wicked Snow! Wicked Snow! Snow wants Zelena to be her bestie again! They got on well!

Oh dear. Poor Nimue. It must be painful to revisit what’s left of her home. He shouldn’t have taken her back there.

Zelena: “Without my magic I’m a delicate thing.” *sends Snow flying with a ferocious kick to the stomach* LMAO!!

Nimue! In a way, it’s a good thing she drank from the grail, otherwise she would have died!

She’s so extra though lol, play acting her death. She didn’t have to do that lol!

All those names appearing on the dagger were Dark Ones in the space of 45 years! I don’t think so. No way in the world!

Oh my God, it’s an avocado!

This is making me so sad! Don’t do it Nimue! He loves her so much and she’s in so much pain!

Lol. It changed her hairstyle too. Amazing! 

I don’t get when people say sparkly Rumple is green. He doesn’t look green at all to me. But Nimue is truly an avocado. How comes she, Rumple and Zoso get the scales but Emma and Hook don’t?

In Arthurian legend, isn’t Nimue Lancelot’s mother? Could they be Lancelot’s parents? I don’t think so, but it’s a thought!

Dark One Emma does have super speed! Rumple must have it too, but never uses it!

Emma, stop! He’s too hot to die!!

How did the apprentice live for so long?

Zelena strolling in with a tied-up Snow and says, “Hi guys!” “Ooh, daddy’s angry.” God, I love her!

Should I even ask how Arthur managed to remove Zelena’s cuff without magic? Or, I’ve forgotten, maybe anyone can remove it.

I forgot how exactly that sword can get rid of all the light or darkness.

Oh! By bringing all the dark ones back?

Emma, you’re pointing them the wrong way! That’s not how they fit together!

#Becca's Reblog Challenge

[littlefreya]

Hi Freya ~~ how would you rank Henry and his characters from most soft to most dom? 👀😛

I actually did this one before, but it’s been so long ago I think it deserves another take. 💖

Warnings: 18+, smut, this has multiple kinks in it so please heed the warnings - BDSM, Sub/Dom, Daddy Kink (August), bondage, denial, victorian patriarchy,  spanking, facial, cockwarming, exhibition, degradation, DP, anal, bodily fluids, CNC, role play, striptease, oral, overstimulation, power play, primal play, chasing.  

Characters: Sherlock Holmes, August Walker, Captain Syverson, Walter Marshall, Geralt of Rivia.

A/N: These are all based on my imagination and how I see these characters, nothing is canon. It’s all in good fun. :)

For Sherlock, it's all about discipline. Baby's got a touch of hysteria? No worries, he will be more than thrilled to “re-educate” you. 

Among his favourite forms of punishment you may find:

Spanking, paddling and caning - naughty girls get their asses spanked -  be a bad a girl and Sherlock will have tummy-flat on his lap, spanking your ass sore. “Allow me to show you your place,” he chides, squeezing your overwhelmingly sensitive flesh.

Bondage and Denial - Sherlock loves to experiment and enjoys testing your limits. “Let’s see how long can you go until you break and beg?” Tying you to his bed, he will either slip a dildo or his cock inside you, but then instead of fucking you as you’d desire, he’d restrict you from friction and have you throb and squeal and whimper for more.

Cockwarming - speaking of which, cockwarming is definitely one of Sherlock’s favourite things. A nice day at the park, you say? It will be nicer with you wrapped around his cock while people pass by, never knowing how deep he is buried inside your cunt.

Exhibition - It's not about getting caught as much as it's about him taking you whenever he wants, wherever he wants. After all, you are his little plaything to use as he sees fits.

Anal play - it’s a complete taboo, but mother nature gave you two holes for a reason, and Sherlock is more than curious to find out what it feels like to have that puckered hole stretched around his shaft and to fill it with his cum.  

Walter has a dirty little secret, one that he only shared with you. He likes it rough, always had and has been a proud member of the BDSM community for years now.

Bondage - He is an absolute Dom and wouldn't be open to switching. If anything entices him, it's to have you restrained to his bed, all stripped from clothes and power. Luckily, having a police career comes with a free pair of handcuffs. But Walter also likes to get creative, and he went out of his way to install a special headboard with various types of cuffs and chains.

CNC - Nothing like roleplay to spice up your sex life. Whether you are playing a dirty little slut getting arrested or the damsel in distress who owes the big bad cop a thanks. But Walter’s favourite game is when you pretend to not want it. Fight him as much as you want, we both know how it’s going to end. 

Degradation - You will never forget the day you walked home to have Walter put a collar with a chain around your neck. "Get down on your knees," he demanded and as you did he led you to the bedroom where he fucked your face like the dirty little slut you are.

Overstimulation - His coarse beard between your thighs is enough to make you whimper, but that won’t do for Walter. Oh no. What he really wants is to reduce you to a puddle as he eats you out as if the devil is at the door. He won’t stop until you are trembling, shaky thing, relishing in the fact that he has that much power over you.  (Based on a story collab with @wolvesandhoundshowltogether)

Don't be fooled by August's harsh demeanour. Yes he is a killing machine and while he loves to be in charge and can be extremely hard, he also has quite the soft Dom tendencies.

Daddy / Princess dynamics - you are his little princess, the woman he will protect and burn worlds to a cinder if needs be. He loves to buy you pretty dresses and dress you in angelic lingerie. All he wants in return is your devotion and that you will call him daddy. 

Corruption Kink - you are far from being a virgin, but August loves to pretend that you are the purest thing that he gets to defile. Storming into the bedroom, he rips your pretty little dress and your lingerie and fucks each of your holes while he is still in his suit. 

Facial - speaking of defilement, after having you come around his cock, he sometimes likes to pull out and pump himself as he crouched above you. With a grunt, he comes and spills his warm creamy seed all over your face and breasts. “A lovely pearl necklace for my beautiful princess.” 

Breathplay - What says control more than sustaining the air from your lungs? Having you sit on his monstrous cock, he makes you ride him while his fingers are wrapped around your throat. “Come if you want to breathe,” he commands and watches how you forgo your survival instincts for the sake of pleasure.

Praise kink - you are his good girl, and he makes sure to remind you that whether in your daily routine or when he is balls deep inside you. “Good... good girl, such a good girl,” he praises as he watches you spiral into ecstasy.

Aftercare - a good Dom takes aftercare seriously, and August happens to treat him with great responsibility. He keeps a box right next to his bed with essentials such as lotions, oils and everything you may need to feel safe. The first thing he does is check your vitals and press you against his chest, so you will feel protected in his big arms. Then later, once you manage to speak again, he runs a warm bubble bath and carries you to the bathroom, where he bathes and snuggles you for as long as you need. 

For Geralt it’s not about being in charge as much as it’s about the laws of nature. That being said, he wouldn’t mind you assuming control, if you manage to overpower him ;)

Primal Play - Scratching, biting, fighting for control. Geralt can smell your arousal from miles away, and once those intoxicating pheromones hit his nose, he is no better than the monsters he seeks to hunt. Led by one primal instinct to conquer, he tackles you down to the damp grass and tears the clothes right off of you.     

Chasing - Nothing like a good chase to get his blood pumping. Of course, you are no match to the stamina of a witcher, but he gives you a headstart, watching you scamper away like a tender gazelle. You can hide if you want to, but we all know how it will end...

Switching - if by some miracle you managed to outsmart him and gain your way to the top, he would let you have it, enjoying the sight of you riding him like a bloodthirsty succubus while he utters the most obscene profanities. 

Biting - Geralt is quite possessive, and nothing says “mine” more than leaving a mark on your skin. A bite on the neck or your breast would do; that way, when the next idiot stares down your cleavage, he can tell who you belong to. 

While some of his fellow soldiers like to be subbed, Sy is not one of them. Captain in the streets and a Captain between the sheets. 

Oral sex - Indeed, Sy became famous for his skilful tongue. Spreading your thighs, he will dive between them and feast on your peach until you cry for him to fuck you. Seeing you squirm so helpless and submerged in ecstasy, losing all control, is the one thing that gets him off more than anything. Sometimes he would even eat you out while stroking his cock, and when he comes, he comes all over your swollen pussy. 

Stripping - good ol’ cowboy enjoys himself a lap dance. Sitting with a bottle of jack on a hot summer day, he loves to watch you as you seduce him and strip off your hot little outfit. Visibly hard, he adjusts his bulge in his jeans, grinning as you make your way to sit on his lap. He pours the whiskey down your bare breasts and then licks it off with a rumbling groan.  

Double penetration - give him full control and full access, and by that, I mean, let him fuck both your holes simultaneously. Having you on four, he slips a dildo inside your pussy, and then fucks your ass. You never felt so full and so tight in your life. You nearly come on an instant whenever you try it out. 

Auto-exhibition - it might just be that Sy enjoys a good home movie, and by home movie, I mean filming the two of you as you do the deed. There’s nothing like having something to watch later when he is deployed and far away from his baby girl.

Public teasing - Sy’s love language is touch, and sometimes he enjoys touching you when everyone is around. So don’t be surprised if you are having drinks with your friends at the bar when you suddenly feel his fingers sneaking below your skirt.

Fatherly AU: Meet the Kids

Finally decided to flesh out and give characters for this AU I’ve created. When I headcanoned Allen to have a BIG family, I meant it. Let’s meet the children! (All in birth/adopted Order)

Alan & Jun Walker

Firstborn and Identical Twins. 

Alan (Named After his father): 

is the jokester and technically the Oldest (”By a few seconds!”). 

Easily scared and startled. 

Unsurprisingly Athletic.

Jun: 

Wants to be seen as the Stereotypical Calm and Mature one. IS NOT. 

Petty and Competitive as hell. 

Strangers think “What a well behaved kid”. Alan: “I’m sorry, are you talking about that Drama Queen???”. 

Two left feet. 

Sneaky boi.

Baby’s Day

Victorian Era!Daddy!Henry Cavill x Little!Reader AU

Summary: Henry takes a day off, which surprises Judy. But you’re not complaining.

WC: 1.1k

Warnings: 18+ !!! Smut smut smut !! vaginal penetration, daddy kink, kinda little reader, mention of cum & fucking filth

Note: This is from @pinksdaydream and I’s concepts of Vic!Daddy!Henry x Little!Reader (inspo from those Sherlock pics of Henry) and I had to write some smut for them bc I need y’all to know my need for vic Hen 😩 Please enjoy and if you like it, let me and Meda know!! We love this shit! Oof and Judy is Readers babysitter!

Judy was surprised when she opened her door and you weren’t standing eagerly on the other side. You were such an early bird where you always met Judy at her door as Henry got ready for work.

Judy decided to gather up her skirts and walk up the long staircase, her heels clicking urgently as she walked. She couldn’t pinpoint on why she felt anxious that you didn’t greet her at her bedroom door. Her mind sped through multiple scenarios a million miles a minute.

Have you fallen ill? Have you been grounded to your room? Have you—

Judy’s thoughts came to a halt as she neared the thick wooden door, her face flushed at your blissed whimpers. She stilled a few feet away from the door and prayed you weren’t pleasuring yourself. She hadn’t had to reprimand you for that quite yet, and she was hoping it wasn’t now in the moment.

As her knuckles came inches away from the wood she stilled once again and flushed hotter as she heard matched groans from Henry.

“That’s it, you like that don’t you my pet?” Henry’s muffled voice shot through the door, grunts and skin slapping echoing out underneath the door.

“Y-yes si-sir!”

Judy’s lips sucked into her mouth as her eyes widened in embarrassment when she heard the synchronized moans. She swiftly grabbed her skirts once again and trotted down the stairs, this time making sure they were more quiet to not disrupt the love making.

Henry had purposely taken a sick day to focus entirely on you and your needs. He had felt guilty for working so much to where his touch felt foreign to you, he loathed it, making him angered with himself. Henry wanted to remind you of his undying love anyway he could, whether it was sleeping in with you or keeping you all to himself.

Henry’s goal was the latter.

At first he started slow, rubbing your skin lovingly, kissing you awake and whispering sweet words into the quiet air. When you fully awoke, his gentleness turned into a need to have you withering beneath him, his cock leaving you unable to walk.

You lost track of how many orgasms you’ve given him, his cock was the only thing you could focus on. His eyelids fluttered closed for a short moment while he shushed your moans with his hand, his jaw clenched tight as he grumbled out a spew of curses.

You mewled his name, short breaths leaving your nose roughly as Henry thrusted up into your heated cunt. Your walls fluttered violently as the familiar pressure of your upcoming release made itself known.

“Daddy please! I have to cum again!” You whined out around his palm, back arching into his chest as his breathing deepened over you.

One of your hands was attempting to keep you still as it was placed flat on the padded headboard, the other clenched around Henry’s wrist. He left out a groan, his chest heaving in shakes as he watched you

“Let me feel it baby, come on! Do it for daddy.” He grunted loudly, his thrusts hard, creating loud slaps in the air from your spread thighs and his.

Your cunt made lewd noises as he pushed and pulled from you. Your legs shook as Henry picked them up and put them over his shoulders, only to push further into your cervix. You let out a drawn scream as you felt your release pour from your puffed folds, soaking yourself and Henry.

“Yes yes yes! Such a good fucking girl.” Henry chanted through his teeth, groaning out a growl as his eyes closed in a roll.

He took his hand off your heated mouth and roughly grabbed your hips with both on his hands and tilted them up higher to his. Henry soon came with a grunt, his hips stilling as his cock pressed sweetly into your cervix.

You feel your belly swell just a touch as his cum paints your walls, making you let out a strangled mewl. Henry breathed in the smell of your mixed sweat and releases, the scent made him bite his lip with a deep growl. He watched your damp skin shake and struggle to breath clearly.

“Now, what do you say to daddy when he fills you up? Hmm?” Henry pants out, his curls crazed on top of his head, some sticking to his temples with sweat. He leans back and gives you a triumphant smile while his eyes graze over your fucked out body, his tongue licking his teeth as you wither on his still hard cock.

“Th-thank you daddy.” You spoke out above a whisper, your hands searching for his as your breath catches in your throat.

Henry intertwined his fingers with yours as he gave you a gentle kiss on your heated forehead. He gives you one last thrust before he slowly pulls out of your fluttering pussy, a groan matching your hissed whine.

“Come on my love, we need to get something in that belly and not just my seed.” He grumbled into your skin, pulling your legs down as he straightened his back to sit up. “We’ll cuddle later, I promise sweet baby.”

You whine out when you stretch your aching legs, watching the once red marks on your hips turn to an angry bruise. You rubbed the tender spot while Henry got off the bed and went to the splayed clothing littered around the floor, searching for something, not ruined preferably, to wear.

You gasped when you sat up and met your reflection in the mirror. “You were rough with me daddy.”

Dark bruises from Henry’s suckling kisses formed around your throat and down your chest, some slightly smaller than the rest. You trailed your fingers around them in awe. You weren’t mad by any means, you found them pretty and erotic as they met the early morning light peeking through the slits of the curtains.

Henry let out a chuckle, “I’m sorry pet, I’ve just missed you so much.” He said, coming in between your legs with a shirt, his shirt to be exact, but yours nonetheless.

You hummed with a soft smile. You raised your arms when Henry tilted his head up in a silent command to do so, he slipped it on you and pulled the ends of your hair teasingly once your head poked through the neckline. As Henry busied himself with his clothing, you stood up and walked to the door, turning around when Henry tisked at you.

“Ah ah! Hold on little pet.” Henry stilled you as he squatted down to the backs of your knees with a cloth.

You looked down and let out a giggle as you saw the mixed cum trail down your thighs.

“You’re making a mess.” He sighed, a smirk pulling at his lips. He cleaned you up quickly and threw the small cloth to the floor, kissing up your abused skin as he stood up behind you.

You opened the door and walked to the stairs with Henry behind you. The home was eerily quiet, making you slightly nervous that everyone might have heard you and your daddy’s moans and the bed slamming on the wall. You stood at the railing and leaned over slightly to see if anyone was around the corner of the front entrance.

Henry followed your gaze with a frown, it soon turned into an amusing smirk. “If they heard, they heard. It wouldn’t be the first time.”

You snapped your head to him as he shrugged, a mortified look painted your features while his in pure cockiness. Henry laughed and petted your cheek, his thumb rubbing your cheek bone and pinching the skin before he pulled away.

As Henry made his way down the stairs, he stopped at the middle stair and saw you still standing at the top. You nervously played with the hem of the shirt, cautious of who was up and who would have heard you. He raised a brow and waved his fingers for you to follow, you reluctantly followed the command and curled your arms around his bicep.

Jurassic Emblem-Chapter 10

Scales are quite tricky to draw. Anyhow, there’s the second boss of the game!

 Nifl was a cold, desolate land of snow,bones,ice,and blood. Frozen blood. It wasn’t quite the Kirby-esque happy place you’d thought it would be, after the Nifl-Muspell incident where Askran forces killed off warped versions of video-game protagonists and The elder Nifl princess Guunthra being roasted alive like some yummy Barbie-Cute pork. And the situation got particularly better when the sun-dragon Helios was frozen solid, condemning the whole area into everlasting night.

At least the stars and moon looked very charming and exquisite, white stellar bodies illuminating the aqua-blue sky.

Blue and Lucina were marching through the snow, huddling each other for thermal radiation. Blue, having grown up on a tropical island for much of her life, had borrowed Lucina’s scarf and cape for extra warmth(don’t get into that frappucino debate on feathers please). Lucina, having grown up in a desert country with enough rainfall to sustain a 15m-tall scythe-wielding flesh golem, found it rather uncomfortable trekking through the snow. Ryukami the mosasaurus had stayed behind at the ice-floes to catch up on some Nisioisin novels.

The raptors were marching onwards to the north of Nifl, sometimes passing by some shrubs and frost-covered rocks. Just when Lucina thought things were getting rather monotonous, she saw something rustle out of the bushes. Blue took notice as well and saw what appeared to be a penguin-like bird with white spots on its face waddling in a panicked manner before a fox-squirrel thing pounced on it and tore apart its head from its socket, crimson blood and pieces of esophagus and vocal cord spilling out unto the snow and dying it red. Blue and Lucina were eyeing the fox-squirrel as it dug heavy mitten-like foreclaws into the bird’s torso and stringy pink intestines splooged out. Lucina decided to look away and went on her way. Blue paid no attention to the carnage after that as well.

“That was a Repenomamus devouring a Great Auk,” Blue explained. “The world where I from, InGen didn’t simply revived dinosaurs, they brought back Paleozoic and Cenozoic fauna as well. Although if I were you, I wouldn’t dare pet a reppy.”

“Why? Are they dangerous?” Lucina asked. Blue can easily tell right off the bat that humans like Lucina had a profound desire to prod and hold small,furry mammals.

“Oh yes. Reppies are one mammal you do NOT want to pet; despite looking like a Pomeranian with mole-claws, they WILL try to eviscerate you; for a mammal from the Mesozoic they are quite big enough to eat small dinosaurs.”

“Hmm? I assumed mammals evolved after the demise of the giant lizards.”

“Actually, they co-existed with the dinosaurs, though they were bit characters in a world dominated by reptiles bursting with presence and charisma. Repenomamus was the biggest furry during its time, but most of its kin were barely any bigger than an Amiibo figure.”

“And that penguin-looking bird?”

“Uh-huh. That great auk was NOT a penguin-it’s actually more closely related to puffins than to the famous diving birds south of the Equator. Although, it was the the only auk that converted its flight power to swimming power completely, and those damn humans wiped its existence off the face of the Earth.”

“You know quite a lot about animals before the dawn of man, don’t you?” Lucina commented.

“I’m a creature from before man myself, though I wouldn’t be too surprised if InGen resurrected species routed by humanity, like the dodo and the gastric mouth-brooding frog.” Blue replied.

“Come to think of it, isn’t it harder to clone a mammal than say, a reptile or a fish?”

“Yes, Henry Wu of InGen has cloned mammals occasionally, but found it quite tedious because mammalian red cells do not have nuclei, where the DNA are located. You would need to find white cells, which are much less common than their red counterparts in a ratio of 2 to 12.”

“Reptiles and birds, on the other hand, have nuclei within their red blood cells, and Henry Wu is a genius when it comes to manipulating DNA.” Blue explained, frowning.

“Who is this Henry Wu that you speak of ?”

“Why, as a human being, Dr.Henry Wu is a tacky SOB who creates red-eyed, mangled-toothed fatherfuckers and is considered a most dangerous man with the most dangerous technology in the sad history of humanity. He attempted to use my blood to create a line of Indoraptors to sell off for military purposes.”

Seems Wu sounds a LOT like that sperm-slurper Validar, Lucina grimly thought.

 The two of them chatted like this for the entirely of their walk until they reached Nifl Castle.

                                              *********

 Blue and Lucina had arrived at the castle of Nifl, but they were no guards to greet them. Well they were guards present-but they were frozen solid, and clusters of repenomamuses were busily gnawing away at the frozen body cavities.

 I guess a species changes its behavior accordingly to the environment, Blue though as she and her partner pushed the gates open. They went inside the interior and up the stairs.

“Something tells me the weather outside isn’t the reason those soldiers were icicles,” Lucina said, walking behind Blue.”Would it be a bad idea to go into the kitchen wing and grab some potions for the upcoming boss fight?”

The charcoal velociraptor sniffed the solid,icy air. It stinged her nose. “I don’t see why not,” she answered. “though if you see some ANY creature, reppy or not, attacking you, don’t hesitate to knock their heads off.”

Blue waited at the second floor while Lucina brisky walked to the the kitchen downstairs. A few minutes later, she was back.

“Are you ready for certain? During the boss-fight there will be no pee-pee breaks, and no daddy in white shining armor with a shotgun and a motorbike crashing through the windows to save either of us. Understood?” Blue interviewed.

“No need for any of that,” Lucina replied. “Let’s get this over with. I feel as though my body is becoming a gelato cone.”

 “Good. If my nose knows, she is just around the corner. Follow me.” the raptors headed to the corridor on the right and came across a door that read “Hrid’s Room: Out for Lunch”. They entered.

“Ugh. That was the fifth time someone has stepped in without my consent,” an icy voice hissed. “Do any of you thin-telligent organisms register the concept of knocking?”

 A woman was lounging on an oblong bed spotted with various books. But not a regular woman. Her lower half was that of a boa’s, turquoise-green with purple stripes, and covered with icicles.Her hair-piece were icicles as well, and her Victorian-style corset colored electric blue and black made the entire “cool” effect perfect,considering her expressions suggested otherwise.

“What do you bipeds want?” The snake woman demanded. “Did you interrupt my inspirational reading just so you can become like those popsicles outside?”

“We just want to talk,” Lucina answered.

The snake snorted. “Don’t be honest with me, be honest with you. What you really came here for is my bloody limp body that you can use to nail onto this country’s gates like a crooked Christmas decoration. Is that it, O Exalted Princess?

“Why did you freeze the sun-god? Do you recognize the biblical effects the entire world will face?” Blue questioned, her face contorting in defense for her friend.

“Let me tell you this,” the Victorian boa began. “I am the future best-selling novelist Basilice, and I sincerely have no desire to kill you. But my mistress Sha’Rad Yuwi denied my request and forced to to sacrifice my writing skills for combative means. My writing may be on hold, but my mind is certainly not. Exalted Princess, have you ever actually considered the misery of your foes that killed them because you desired to make “everyone happy”?”

“.....You can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs,” Lucina replied.

“ ‘I want everyone to be happy,’ ‘let’s end all suffering in the world,’ those are lines that make me want to vomit out the Niflites I ate yesterday. Those are the shallow,one-dimensional philosophies of idiotic eukaryotes who do not face reality.” Basilice sputtered out. “The light is full of lies, lies! People willingly bask in the glory of light so they never again have to experience the truth of the darkness below! Light is harmful, harmful! And not just the fact that overdosing on UV light promotes cancer on light skin. Do any of you bipeds know anything at all about plants other than the vascular system in high-school?”

“When plants grow, they break down soil to suit their roots for sufficient nutrient intake,” Blue raised her hand in reply.

“Precisely! Around 400 million years ago, during the Devonian period, mosses and ferns were starting to grow onto rocks near the coastlines, and inevitably, these early pioneers of the new world crumbled the rock into fine soil which washed out into the sea over thousand of years, and do you know what happened? Vertebrates started choking! Fishes here and there had no idea how to cope with this influx of mud particles from the land, their gills clogged with minerals. This, combined with volcanic eruptions, consumed all the available oxygen in the water and there were massive, massive, casualties everywhere! Because fishes and run-off from terrestrial photosynthesis do not go well together! This catastrophe makes your petty carnage across Jurassic Park and Fire Emblem look like a squabble between toddlers in comparison. And you little humans use the opportunity to view more serious issues as a excuse to lounge in your chairs eating chicken nuggets.”

“So I killed him! I killed that sick son of a bitch Helios because he’s a major liar, and I’m going to teach everyone that people deserve bad endings, everyone!” Basilice took out her Dragonstone. “And if you girls are truly good character down to the nRNA sequence, you might be spared and see everyone in the world smothered in the darkness that is free of any lies! No more pain, no more sadness!”

Blue and Lucina prepared their weapons. “Let’s fight!”

simply having a wonderful christmastime

Summary: After their Christmas plans fall through, Killian is determined to give Emma and Henry Swan the best Christmas they’d ever known. Modern AU.

Rating: G

Words: ~4500

A/N: This is for my CSSS giftee @dragon-princess ! Sorry it took me so long to get this to you, but I wanted to make sure everything worked. I hope you like it! Also if you like Neal, there’s a little bit of Neal bashing in this fic sorry! Also, the spelling mistakes in Henry’s letter to Santa are deliberate! 

Read on Ao3 here! 

The clatter of bells, the door sounding open, and a rushed, “Killy! Killy! Killy! Killy!” alerted Killian Jones to the fact that his morning had officially begun. He watched a small mop of brown hair get closer and closer to his counter, before he took pity on the three year old and stepped out to greet him.

“Hey, little man,” Killian said cheerfully, scooping Henry up into his arms.

The boy was the son of his best friend in the whole world, Emma Swan. The two would stop by the diner every morning before Emma dropped Henry off at preschool before she went to work as a cop in Boston’s police department. Killian only took the morning shifts before he went to go teach at the local university. He probably would’ve quit ages ago, had it not been for the beautiful blond and the vivacious boy that greeted him every weekday.

Well that and Granny was pretty amenable with his teaching schedule and was easy enough to persuade to give him more time off before the end of each semester.

“What’d you do with your mum, huh?” He shook the boy a little bit and when Henry began to laugh, Killian began to laugh to. “You know she turns into a big grumpy bear without her coffee.”

“I resent that,” Emma said tiredly, a few footsteps behind her son as she entered the diner. “But because it’s Christmas, I’ll forgive you.”

“It’s not Christmas yet,” Killian replied cheekily as he produced a warm cup of coffee—one milk, one sugar and for the love of God, Jones as hot as you can humanly make it—and put it in her hands. “Now, let me see if I got the little man’s order right. Hmm…boiled mackerel and brussel sprouts?”

“No!” Henry giggled. Emma even let out a little laugh as she sat down to drink her coffee. “It’s Friday, Killy! Means I get the special breakfast!” 

“Oh, that’s right,” Killian laughed, setting the boy down beside his mother. “One big boy pancake for our resident big boy,” he said, putting the plate in front of Henry. “With a side of bacon to share with him and Mum.”

Henry began tearing into his pancake when a nudge from his mother stopped him. “What do we say to Killian?” she asked, raising her eyebrows at her son.

“Fank yew, Killy!” Henry said through a mouthful of pancake. “Thanks, Killian,” Emma chuckled, taking a sip of coffee and nibbling on some bacon.

“Now, love,” Killian said, leaning against the counter of the bar. “Are you sure I can’t persuade you into something a bit more hearty and substantial? I’ve got a nice bear claw with your name on it.”

“No, no, I’m okay,” Emma laughed, though it didn’t escape Killian’s notice how Emma’s eyes went a bit wide and she licked her lips a little at the mention of the words ‘bear claw’. “But I might stop after I have my first meeting.

“Mommy is going to talk to Daddy about Christmas!” Henry exclaimed cheerfully. “Daddy is gonna ask Santa to get me presents instead of Mommy this year! And we’re going to go to Daddy’s house, all three of us together, and have Christmas with Daddy! We’re gonna go the whole weekend! Mommy is gonna pick me up after school and then we’re all gonna go get dinner together!”

One look at Emma’s face told Killian exactly how his friend felt about this. And one look at Henry’s also told him exactly why she was doing this. Neal, Emma’s ex “whatever”—as she liked to say—had come into town a few months prior, looking to reconnect with Henry and Emma.

Emma had kept him at arm’s length, but Henry embraced his father’s return to his life with all the love and joy in his little heart. Not that Killian blamed him. If he’d been young when his father returned, he probably would’ve done the same thing. Still, his heart twisted with sympathy when he saw how Emma’s lips tightened into a firm line. “Well that will be fun,” he encouraged the boy, wanting to keep the Christmas spirit up. “Christmas with you and your mummy and your daddy.” Henry nodded eagerly. He fished a quarter out of his pocket. “Here, whatever you want to play on the jukebox. Your choice,” he said. “Can I, Mama?” Henry asked excitedly, looking between her and Killian so quickly he was afraid the boy was going to get whiplash.

“Yeah, sure, kid,” Emma said fondly, giving him a second quarter. “Here. Have two quarters on your old mom.”

“You’re not old, Mommy,” Henry said seriously, before the other quarter and racing off to the jukebox.

Emma smiled as she continued to sip at her coffee. She raised an eyebrow in Killian’s direction when he realized he’d been watching her for a little too long. “If you stared at me any harder, you’d put a hole in my head,” she teased, giving him an easy smile. “And I’m pretty sure I’ll be getting those from my ex whatever all weekend. What are you thinking?”

Killian felt the color rise to his cheeks, but he leaned on the counter to talk to her. “Well, I was thinking that you’re a good Mum,” he started. He was also thinking that she was the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen and he was infernally jealous of her ex to get to see her lit up by tree lights. “I was also thinking if you needed an escape, I’d offer to help. Rights of the best friend and all. Besides, it’s not like I’ve a family or anything.”

Emma considered this and a slow smile spread across her lips. “All right,” she agreed.

Killian let out an uproarious laugh in spite of himself. “Emma Swan, accepting my help on the first go?” he teased her, leaning on his elbows. “A Christmas miracle, truly.”

“Oh, don’t start. Besides, you have to acknowledge that you still have family. You have me and Henry,” Emma complained good-naturedly, shoving him away playfully. She couldn’t help but smile into her coffee, but only when he nodded in acquiescence to her demands. “Henry’s so excited for this. And he’ll get something I never have. A full family Christmas.

Killian reached across the counter to hold her hand. “You are his family,” he reminded Emma seriously. “I’m sure he’d have been thrilled if it was just you two exchanging presents and then coming to mine for dinner like last year.”

“Yeah, but he’s three. Which means this will be the start of the Christmases that he’ll actually remember. And as much as I love how your apartment looked like Christmas threw up in there…I just…wanna give him everything,” Emma mumbled, starting to grimace. “God, that probably sounds so stupid.”

“Never stupid,” Killian replied softly. “Is there any way that I can help?”

“Recommend me a rum that I can get trashed on,” Emma muttered darkly. Meeting his eyes, her expression softened. “Nah, I’m a big girl. I’ll be okay, Killian. I think once we survive the dinner tonight, we should be okay.” She smiled, her thumb brushing across an imaginary speck of dirt across the mouth of the coffee cup. “You know the restaurant in the mall?” she asked. “The one that overlooks Santa’s workshop? I got us a seat by the window and that’s where we’re having dinner tonight.”

Killian smiled widely. “Oh, Henry will absolutely love that. I bet you anything that’s something he’ll remember more than Neal,” he offered, waggling his eyebrows to try and get her to laugh.

“No putting him down,” Emma said seriously, though she couldn’t help but smile at his eyebrow waggle. “Seriously, he is doing a great thing. He offered to buy all the presents, since I have for the last two years. He’s getting the food, everything. And he’s trying.”

“Is it working?” Killian asked, his expression falling a little.

Emma turned to look at her son, who was still scrolling through the music at the jukebox, Granny barking suggestions at him from the kitchen. “On Henry, yeah. And that’s all that matters, really.”

After a long day of grading final exams on the use of literary devices in Victorian prose and poetry, Killian was more than content to stretch out on his couch and put on a Christmas movie. The smell of Granny’s famous lasagna wafted through his nose. Going to his collection of Christmas movies, he began humming to himself before his finger stopped on “Love, Actually”.

“Now that’s not a proper Christmas movie is it?” he wondered out loud, privately wondering if he ought to indulge himself on what he conceived to be his grossly inappropriate crush on Emma by watching it. A knock on the door pulled him out of his thoughts, and he frowned.

He wasn’t expecting anyone, especially not at 10 o’clock at night. Killian walked to his peephole and peered through it. He only saw a red leather jacket and blond hair and he threw the door open. “Emma?” he asked worriedly.

Tears were running down her cheeks, her nose was pink from the cold and she was holding a sleeping Henry in her arms. “You…you said that I could come here if I needed to?” Emma sniffled, trying to keep her breathing under control so she wouldn’t wake Henry. “Aye, of course. I’ll take Henry, you sit on the couch, and you can tell me what happened, okay?” Killian murmured, taking the sleeping Henry from her arms. He brought Henry to his room, took the boy’s shoes off and tucked him into bed. He almost went right back to her, but decided to take a detour to the kitchen.

She hated the instant hot cocoa mix. But any port in a storm, he figured.

So, a few minutes later, he came back out with her favorite: hot cocoa with whipped cream and cinnamon. She weakly smiled and rest her head on his shoulder when he sat beside her on the couch. He put the cup of cocoa in front of her, but she didn’t touch it.

He quickly searched for “It’s A Wonderful Life” on the television, hoping he could find it because it was her favorite Christmas movie. He couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief when he found it, but he turned the volume on so low that it could just be heard underneath their conversation.

“This is stupid,” Emma croaked out, rubbing her eyes. “I work for the Boston PD for godssake. I track down criminals, I’ve seen crime scenes worse than any Law and Order episode. I shouldn’t be this upset about a stupid guy…”

“What happened?” Killian asked sympathetically, drawing an arm around her. She curled into him with a weepy little huff. He began to soothingly rub her back, hoping to keep her calm.

“It’s not even me I’m upset for, you know?” she asked, wiping at one eye with the heel of her palm. “It’s Henry! Because Neal was supposed to take care of everything, I don’t have anything. I don’t have Santa presents for him, I just have the presents from me! I don’t have a Christmas dinner; the stores are going to be swamped--”

“Slow down, love,” Killian told her, giving her a gentle squeeze. “Now, tell me what happened, and we can fix this together, yeah?” Like he didn’t have a guess as to what went down at their dinner tonight. “It’s gonna be okay, Swan. Everything’s gonna be all right.”

Emma swallowed the lump in her throat and started, “So Henry and I got a picture with Santa, and the line was long. We were running late. Like 45 minutes late for the time we said we were going to meet. And my phone was dead, so I couldn’t text Neal to tell him that we were running late.” She exhaled slowly, clenching and unclenching her right hand. Killian slipped his hand into hers without thinking, trying to give her something to hold onto, to anchor herself with.

“We got to the restaurant, and I’m all flustered and babbling because I think Neal is there, right?” she continued. “So the hostess goes to try and find him, and he’s not there in the restaurant. My first thought is that he was there, and that he left because we thought he bailed. I ask her if there’s a seat by an outlet so I can charge my phone.”

She squeezed his hand and exhaled again, and it broke his heart to see all the fight seemingly drained out of her. “She finds one because this hostess was honestly a miracle worker, and so I order a lemonade for Henry and a ginger ale for myself while we wait for my phone to charge.” She squeezed his hand. “My phone turned on, and there’s not a word from him. It’s like 8 at this point, which is an hour and a half after we agreed to meet. So I texted him, asking him if he’d tried to get in touch with me before.”

She let out a hollow sound that could’ve been a laugh. “He didn’t even answer me. I text again. I call his phone. I call his secretary, who said he’d gone home for the evening. I call his home. No answer. I’m texting him over and over, trying to get a word. I order Henry dinner, sugary drinks, anything. At this point the hostess knows something’s up so she just comes over with like twelve coloring pages and the three of us are sitting and coloring together.”

Emma let out a long breath, tucking her knees underneath her as she got more comfortable on Killian’s couch. “Finally, he answers me telling me that something’s come up, he can’t have us over for Christmas. And to tell Henry he’s really, really sorry and he’ll make it up to him another time.” She blinked and looked at Killian. “That was at 9:30. Henry was asleep at the table, so I just…paid, brought him to the car. And I didn’t want to go home. So we just came here.”

“Oh, Emma,” Killian whispered, squeezing her tighter. “I’m so sorry that happened to you, love. I’m so sorry.”

“How am I supposed to tell Henry that his Dad just didn’t show up for him?” Emma asked brokenly. “God, Killian, I’ve put my kid exactly what I went through and I never wanted that for him!” A sob clawed its way out of her throat and she seemed to crumple into him.

“No, no, love, you haven’t done that to him at all,” Killian whispered, rocking her back and forth. “You couldn’t control Neal’s actions and that boy knows you love him with your whole heart. He knows, Emma. He knows you love him.” An idea sparked into his head and his eyes brightened up. “We’ll just have to give him the best Christmas here then, aye? You’re already packed for the weekend, it’d break his spirits even more to go home.”

Emma bit her lip and turned her head away, starting to calm down at the reassurance from her best friend that she was in no way failing her son. “I don’t want to be an imposition,” she started, clearing her throat. “I can…I can pull this off. Just me and Henry,” she said determinedly. “I know I can.”

“Aye, I’ve yet to see you fail,” Killian said confidently.  “But who said you ever needed to do this alone?” He nudged her gently with his shoulder. ���It’s not like I had Christmas plans. And two heads are better than one, yeah?”

Emma absolutely beamed at him.

The next morning found him cursing at pancake batter. He’d wanted to make it snowflake shaped for Henry’s sake, but he was absolutely failing.

“Google says to put it in a cookie cutter,” Emma called from the kitchen table.

“I did! It keeps running out when I remove the cookie cutter,” Killian grumbled.

“Are you waiting until the edges set?” Emma challenged.

“No, because I don’t want the cookie cutter to melt if I leave it in the pan for too long.”

“Killian, your cookie cutter is made of metal. It’s not gonna melt!”

“Why is there shouting?” Henry yawned, rubbing his eyes as he came into the kitchen. “An’why are we at Killy’s house?”

Emma worried her lip with her teeth. “C’mere, baby,” she murmured, scooping Henry up into her arms. “You know how we were supposed to go to Daddy’s this weekend and spend Christmas with Daddy?” The boy nodded. “Well, um…” She squeezed him a little bit tighter. “He won’t be able to have us over for Christmas anymore. That’s why he didn’t come meet us for dinner last night.”

It didn’t escape Killian’s notice that no matter how upset she was, Emma didn’t do anything to bad mouth Neal in front of Henry.

“Oh,” Henry said softly. His eyes began to water, and his little lip began to wobble. “Does that mean no Christmas?” he asked, looking up at Emma.

“No, no, no,” Emma soothed, pressing her forehead to his. “No, baby. Of course there’s still gonna be Christmas. We’re just gonna have Christmas with Killy. Is that okay?” Henry nodded but buried his face into Emma’s shirt. “Oh, I know, kid. I know. It is really disappointing. I know how much you wanted to see Daddy and spend Christmas with Daddy. I know. I know, kid.”

The little boy clung to her a little bit tighter and she cupped her hand around his head. “It’s okay to be upset. You just cry it out and when you’re ready to talk, Mommy will be right here to listen, okay?” she whispered. Henry nodded again.

Killian was more determined than ever to make the pancakes perfect so that the little boy would smile and have a better start to his Christmas. Henry’s mother deserved that as well.

“Mama?” Henry asked against Emma’s neck after a little bit of time. “How will Santa know where to bring the presents?”

 “Well,” Emma said brightly, situating Henry so she could look him in the eye. “Santa is magic, so he’ll know that you’re not with Daddy like you told him you were going to be in your letter. So, Santa will know to drop off the presents at Killian’s instead.” She tickled the boy gently and smiled brighter when he began to laugh.

“Can we write a letter to make sure?” Henry asked, looking up at her, starting to shrug off his disappointment.

“Of course we can,” Emma murmured fondly, pressing her forehead together.

Killian was so distracted just watching mother and son, that he left the cookie cutter on a little too long. This time, however, the pancake batter didn’t run when he removed it.

“Told you,” Emma said smugly.

He couldn’t find it in his heart to be all that annoyed with her, though he did flick some pancake batter in her general direction.

“How was shopping, love?” Killian asked that night after Henry had gone to bed. The two had decided it was better to divide and conquer. Killian took Henry sledding and ice skating while Emma had gone food and Santa shopping. The idea was to wear Henry out so much that he’d sleep through all the gift wrapping. 

“I only got the food,” Emma agonized, putting her forehead against the table. “Work called when I was out food shopping, they needed me to come in for a bit. I made sure to run here and put the food away, but then I was there for hours and when I came out, all the stores were closed.”

“He finished his letter to Santa before he went to bed, by the way,” Killian murmured, sitting beside her. “He made me swear not to read it, but desperate times, aye, love?”

“I’m not even going to be able to get him what he wants for Christmas,” Emma muttered, not moving her forehead from the table. “All the stores are closed and there’s no way I’m going to make some poor Amazon worker do a Christmas day delivery.” She closed her eyes. “I don’t know what to do, Killian.”

Killian gently squeezed her shoulder and pulled Emma into his arms. “Hey,” he murmured. “I think that you should borrow one of my bath bombs, lock yourself in the bathroom for an hour to soak and let me figure all this out. Okay?”

Emma shook her head. “You’ve spent so much time with him today. Let me at least figure this one out so I don’t feel like a total failure of a mom,” she muttered.

“You’re not a failure,” Killian rebuked. “And I shan’t hear of anyone talking about my best friend like that.”

She laughed weakly, picking her head off the table. “Fine. No failure talk. But how the hell am I  actually going to get toys for a three year old on Christmas Eve after sundown?” she wondered out loud, trying not to feel defeated again. “I don’t even know what he asked for from Santa, I gave that first letter to Neal and didn’t read it because I didn’t think I’d have to worry about it.”

“Well, let’s see what he wants first and go from there,” Killian suggested. Emma and Killian moved in closer together to read Santa’s letter together.

“Dear Santa,” the letter read. “I am veree sorree that I am righting you on Christmas Eve.”

“It was very important to him that he spelled Christmas Eve correctly,” Killian laughed.

“Let me finish reading,” Emma said exasperatedly.

“My Mommy and I arnt at my Daddy’s house. We are at Killy’s house. Pleez bring our presents here. Pleez also getted Killy a nice present beecuz he is nice. Thank u. Henry Swan,” the letter finished. Emma’s finger traced along some of Henry’s askew lettering a fond and loving look on her face. Killian couldn’t help but smile at Henry’s big heart.

But of course, now they were faced with a huge problem: they had no idea what Henry wanted for Christmas.

“Okay,” Emma said, starting to pace back and forth in Killian’s kitchen. She didn’t look agitated anymore, just trying to put the pieces together. “Let’s brainstorm and see if we can get this done. We’ve got about ten hours to put this together. We can do this. We will do this. I’ve got a friend whose dad makes wooden toys for a living and he owes me a couple of favors. What about you?”

“Let me go through my contacts and figure it out.”

Five hours, and a few incredibly desperate favors called in later, Emma and Killian crashed onto the couch, too tired to make it anywhere else. Henry’s presents were beautifully wrapped underneath the tree, and the ones from “Santa” were appropriately tagged.

“Do you wanna watch a movie?” Emma mumbled. “My brain’s wired. I don’t think I can sleep. What if he doesn’t like his gifts?” Her fingers drummed anxiously against the side of the couch and her leg was bouncing nervously.

Killian turned on the television. “Let’s get a few hours of sleep in before we worry about that, okay?” he murmured, on the verge of sleep himself.

“Okay.” Emma cuddled into his side, rolling over to watch the television. “Move, you’re pushing me off the couch.”

Killian nodded and shuffled, situating them so Emma’s head was resting on his chest. “Better?” She nodded. His hand began idly rubbing her back. “You know, Swan. I hate to alarm you, but we make a good team.”

He felt the smile against his shirt rather than saw it. “Yeah, I already knew that we were a good team,” she murmured. “I was just waiting for you to get with the program.”

“Oh yeah?” When did you first figure it out?” he whispered into her hair. She didn’t answer. “Swan?” he rasped, looking down at her. “Swan?” he gave her a gentle little shake.

Emma was already fast asleep in his arms.

He didn’t have the heart to move her.

“It’s Christmas!” Henry hollered, startling them both from sleep. “Wake up! Wake up! It’s Christmas!”

Emma and Killian both roused at the same time, blushing when they realized how they had fallen asleep the night before. They both opened their mouth to apologize, to explain, when the boy clambered up on the couch between them.

“What are you doing out here?” Henry asked curiously, looking between the two adults. “Were you waiting for Santa to come?” 

“Yep, that’s right, buddy,” Emma said, sitting on the other end of the couch, pulling Henry into her lap. “We were waiting for Santa. We wanted to make sure that he could give you your gifts even though we ended up not being at your Dad’s house.”

Killian sighed. Right. There was no way that he could actually have a future with Emma Swan. Not like that anyway.

And it was fine, really.

As much as he loved her, he wanted her happiness more.

“C’mon, let’s open presents!” Emma exclaimed excitedly, tickling her son. Henry squealed with delight and allowed himself to be set on the floor.

The boy rushed to the tree, yelling, “Presents!” at the top of his lungs. He immediately dug through the pile and ignored several with his name on it. At last, he found one with his mother’s name on it and brought it to her. Then he went back to the pile and made sure to find one for Killian and put the package on his lap. Only then would Henry take one for himself and began to open it.

When Killian looked back at Emma, surprised he had gotten anything at all from Santa, Emma just smiled slyly and went about opening her gift.

Killian painstakingly opened the gift. It was a wooden swan and inscribed on the back read, “To our favorite honorary Swan. Love, Emma and Henry-2017”. He felt his eyes well with tears and suddenly he felt two pairs of arms around him.

“We really do love you,” Emma whispered softly, tightening her grip around him. “Thanks for making this the best Christmas ever.”

He was content to hold them for a little while longer, but Henry had other plans. The boy pulled back out of their hug with a mischievous giggle. “You’re under mistletoe! You have to kiss!” he declared, standing on his toes to hold the mistletoe over Killian’s head.

Killian looked at Emma, ready to diffuse the situation with a quick explication and perhaps a distraction with bacon. But Emma grabbed him by the collar of his shirt into a kiss.

“I’ve been waiting forever to do that,” she admitted against his lips when they broke apart.

“We better do it one more time,” Killian murmured gently pressing his forehead to hers. His thumb gently trailed across her cheek, his eyes cataloguing her facial expression to make sure that this was what she wanted. “Just to make sure it was real.”

Emma’s bright laughter rang through the whole apartment.
