"I can't pretend to hate you, Jones."
"Then don't."
Iris Ashe, was a con-woman in the Enchanted Forest. One night, after a job attempt went wrong, she finds herself falling for the mysterious man who goes by the name Hook.
Killian thinks that Iris can delay the sting of 200 years worth of waiting for revenge. But he's wrong. As much as he wishes to deny it, he's fallen for Iris just as much as she has for him. And he can't risk losing his revenge, so he leaves her. And in doing so, makes the biggest mistake of his life.
But when he gets to Storybrooke, suddenly, it's not just revenge on his mind anymore. It's her, too.
I do not own Once Upon a Time, or any characters that aren't Iris Ashe, Maggie Dean, or any characters that are not originally in the show. Except for any Disney characters that appear in the story, which belong to Disney. (Also, inspiration from Megan Van Dyke's Second Star to The Left.)
Emma Swan was just born when her parents left her on the side of the freeway. Or so she thought.
Killian Jones lost his mother at a very young age, and his father was murdered just before her could remember what he looked like. Or so he thought.
Both ended up in the bad side of the foster home. Released at age seventeen, both meet each other and instantly become connected in ways no one could imagine. Or so they thought.
Over a decade later, they plan a vacation to Maine and end up in a town called Storybrooke. The people are insane, insisting that they're people they couldn't possibly be. Insisting that they returned from the Underworld and must have been given false memories.
How can they be Captain Hook and the Savior? After all, they are what they've always been. Orphans.
I do not own any of the characters or Once Upon a Time. Only the plot is mine.
