Part 2, Part 2 Now! ... eh please and thank you and all other salutations and felicitations

I NEED PART 2!

Really enjoyed this, hope you continue!

!

Sorry I have not much in the way of feedback, but I was just absolutely sucked into this and very much look forward to the next part!

Now, it _may_ be true that I read this story because I was too overcome and just couldn't review the appetizer chapter of Missing Pieces right away. I'll neither confirm nor deny that statement.

But I will say that, if that was why I read it, then, hypothetically, this story would have been a horrible choice to give my poor feelings a break. And it might then also be true that I had to take a break from IT before I could review it. I mean, look, it STARTS with Emma being forced to kill Henry and hitting Killian instead.

But I will persevere. Let's do this.

God, a curse that takes away the essence of a person. Worse than death, in some ways, but at least since it's a spell there's the hope it can be reversed. And it's a curse...you know, I've heard there's something that can break any curse...

Anyway, the thought of David watching over Killian, and then having to hold him down before he hurts himself or someone else in his fear, just breaks my heart. And speaking of the hard times for Captain Charming, David can't even visit because all Killian can remember about him is that he's evil. I wonder how David is doing with this. They have such a weird relationship in some ways, where they obviously like each other, but maintain this kind of open mild hostility. Who could he even talk to?

But obviously Emma and Killian are at the center of this story. It hurts me to think of him, drugged into a fog but still not able to sleep or find any peace. It hurts me to think of her visiting him by herself in the middle of the night, knowing they have to drug him, knowing that SHE'S the reason he's this lost mental patient, watching him struggle with his nightmares, thinking his nightmares might be about HER. What was making them worsen? I teared up a little when she finally touched him, and he calmed down and leaned into her hand.

The curse taking away Killian's courage and will to fight makes me want to cry. Interesting, though, that he still longs for the sea even when he has no idea who he is. (There's typo in this part-captives instead of captors.)

Henry must feel so powerless and sort of guilty, since the curse was aimed at him and Killian took it for him. I imagine it's tearing him apart that Killian can't even remember his name from visit to visit.

It makes sense that being close to Killian is not only good for Killian, but good for Emma. It's hard to imagine how being close to your love wouldn't push the darkness away. It was sweet how cuddling with him put her right to sleep.

I loved how Killian's reactions to Emma were so clear, even though he didn't understand them. The way he immediately felt like he didn't ever want to let her go. How he realized seconds later that he would do anything for her. It was adorable how embarrassed he was about being turned on by her, and how shocked he was at the love in her eyes.

For some reason it really gets to me that he cares for her so much that he wants to find her again by any means necessary, even if she only exists in his mind.

This is the first Dark Emma fic I have read and wow did it hit me with all the angst...season 5 is going to kill us all. This was delicious angst and I was prepared to experience that for Emma next season, but was definitely not prepared for the storyline you gave Hook! Holy hell that was painful and awesome. I am very much looking forward to part 2! Thanks for writing!

I love angst, I love the angst you write. :)

Can't wait to see how he regains his memories.

Very interesting, I liked how she couldn't keep away.
Update soon!

This is breaking my heart. You can feel Hook's terror, confusion and snguish, and the ray of hope Emma brings. I'm Hooked - bring in chapter 2!

Awesome beginning, I can't wait to read more!

I love how he quiets when Emma is with him. Heartbreaking. Also happy that Henry is the one worried and looking out for him. Can't wait to see who is holding the dagger.

So fun and so heartbreaking! Can't wait for the next part!

Great, great story !

That was completely heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time. I love it!

FF won't let me copy and paste, but the "demons and monsters and creates like...me" - this HURTS.

I like that her cloud of smoke is gold. That seems fitting.

Not wanting to tell Henry about his nighttime visitor made me laugh. Very in character.

And the end. The end just kills me. No, Emma, you don't poof away! You come back!
