Brilliant story! I loved every second of it!
Your take on the characters and their motives was refreshingly different and absolutely believable, well, maybe it just seems different to me because I'm so used to the 'reformed' Hook now that it's hard for me to remember a time where he was actually the villain ;-)
Your portrayal of Cora's power plays was marvellous! She was every bit as powerful and scary and manipulative as in the series, maybe even more so.
I loved all the conflicting emotions, especially from Hook and Jefferson.
So, once again: brilliantly done!

Most unusual thing I've ever read...a bit disturbing...BDSM magic style, I guess

Poor Hook! Ugh!
I've watched OUAT 3x now from the beginning...I can find no sympathy for Cora. There is no tragic back story (in my mind) and she was a heinous mother to Regina (and worse to Zelena) she's selfish and self-aggrandizing. No redemption in sight! Zelena was more like her mother than Regina ever was...

Wow, this was wonderful. It was sweet and hot and complicated and well-written and just great. Well done.

I can't wait to see what happens next, and welcome back.

Yay! An update! I'm soooo happy this has been updated. And I love Jefferson's madness coming out again. Never stop it!

Can't wait for more

Oh my god, I love it. I LOVE IT. So well-written and compelling and just awesome in every way. Update? Pretty pwease? I know I'm being really unrealistic because you just updated a few days ago, need more of this awesomeness! (Plus I am very much looking forward to the Mad Hook part.)

I seriously love this fic. I consider it a guilty pleasure because of the pairings and the content and of course I love my guilty pleasures. It's just so beautifully written and in character! Please update soon!

Yay, more MadHook! Love it so far. I also love how you characterize them- it's always interesting to see other people's takes on characters.

...just wanted to say I hope you continue this because it's been over a month and that's a really frustrating spot to leave us hanging!

I love this fanfic, please continue! I ship Mad Hook so I'm looking forward to the endgame ;D

Love it! I can't wait for the next chapter.

Not my ship but i still love this fic. I want to be in the middle of a Hook & Jefferson sandwich!

Loved this chapter. Can I just ask who is going to end up together? I see tension everywhere

I've just found your fic and I'm really enjoying it! There are annoyingly few Cora fics and even less Hook/Cora, which I ship like crazy, so thank you for this, it's great!
