this was absolutely fantastic ... loved reading this... I have never seen the Victoria series but I fell in love with the characters within a short time...I love stories that involve time travel and this was amazing... and I LOVE the sexual journey you had young Victoria take with her Melbourne... those scenes are perfect writing... and the hot scenes between my favorite ship was just spectacular...

This is great. Thanks for the final chapter and the revelations of changes to the past. I had been wondering but I wasn’t looking for historical accuracy so I didn’t look into it. This answers it and it’s great! Victoria’s friendship and faith in Killian and Emma was lovely. They should be proud of what they did and how everything worked out and how they helped obtain the happiness of many people. And the next generation! Which Emma and Killian are about to create themselves. Lovely. Thank you again for continuing and finishing.

I’m so glad they got back home safely. With their memories too, which is nice. They improved Victoria and Melbourne’s lives and that will change the world Victoria rules. She is happier, she is married to the man she loves and she will always have his love and support. That’s all good for her country. Thanks for continuing. This was very good, a very unique background for Captain Swan.

Excellent conclusion to the attempts on Victoria and Melbourne. Victoria was impressive, she is more confident in each chapter. Now for Emma and Killian to get home, make babies, find Liam’s portrait in the Jolly Roger. I loved the references to Milah and Liam. With a soon to be welcome home note from Henry!

Thank goodness they are closer to finding out who is threatening Victoria and Melbourne. The guilty party can be accused and arrested and Emma and Killian can go home. Will it be that easy? I don’t know.

Victoria’s mother is interesting, I have changed my opinion of her a couple of times. She seems selfish and manipulative. In this chapter she said the right things but I don’t think she cares for Victoria’s happiness at all.

Emma and Killian together, any realm, any setting, in your writing, always hot, always good.

That was a big decision for Emma and Killian to share their secret with Victoria and Melbourne. I wasn’t sure it was the right decision because the timeline will change, but it is changing anyway. There is a reason Emma and Killian are in this time. I was glad Victoria came back to Emma with acceptance. Emma is the strongest ally in more ways than one! Victoria needs the strongest ally! The question is still who wants Melbourne dead? And how do Emma and Killian get home?

Checking in on this again I found I can review so I will review in hoping for the next update. Thanks for writing, as always, it’s appreciated.

I really didn’t know how much I needed this story until I started getting into it. I love having Captain Swan on an adventure together and even more now that they are married. I love that you decided to set it between seasons 6 and 7. And them going back in time is always fun. Thank you for writing this, and I hope to read the conclusion sometime soon. Now all I need is a multi-chapter story of them on some adventure while she’s pregnant and their whole experience into parenthood taking place after this story. (It was mentioned a lot in this story of them wanting to become parents but also scared of that possibility. So a girl can hope.) Love your writing and always will.

Each chapter gives us more of the connection between this reality, Henry’s writing and now Killian is referring to true history. I have been wondering all along if Victoria and Melbourne do marry and if they do how that impacts events in Emma’s time. They need to marry so that Emma and Killian can go home. This is complex! The love stories are not so complicated, which is lovely. Melbourne and Victoria are truly in love. They would be so happy together if they can just get married and get some peace. Who is trying to kill them? Is it one of their own? How can they be stopped? Or is that why Emma and Killian are still there? Thanks for the chapter.

I was glad they got to see Henry even if they are still worried for him and missing him. I hope they didn’t miss other clues in the mirror. It feels like they are having a big influence on history, on the past, and it will help them get home, but is it the right influence? I am a bit worried about their impact to this time. I’m glad the story is not historically accurate but I think there is a twist ahead before everything works out.

Victoria has made the announcement, she is going to marry Melbourne. She has sent her uncle home. Will there be other threats? What do the rest of the politicians do now? How do Emma and Killian help?

A proposal and an acceptance and a plan. Melbourne and Victoria are on the path to marriage and happiness. There are so many opposing forces though, including her mother. Do they get there? Do they marry?

I enjoyed Killian and Emma and her enjoyment of her pirate Captain. So hot. Peel found it easier to run from the Captain than face him like a man. He has his allies and will be planning to respond. What can they do against Emma and Killian? Kick them out of the palace? Send them to jail? For what reason? Looking forward to the rest.

I knew Killian could bring Melbourne back! He could reason with him and encourage him, and he never judged. Maybe a little, rum is better than whiskey any day! Ernest was interesting. He was more human and normal than some of the royals. I liked what he had to say about Killian - don’t cross that man! It was good to see Killian behave as the pirate Captain he is, determined, aggressive, challenging. Albert was almost normal too when riding with Victoria. They might have been friends once, as young cousins. Except he foolishly got angry and left her in the forest, opening the door for Melbourne to rescue her. Victoria will not forgive Albert, and I’m not sure the Duchess will either.

Thanks for Emma's magic. Her memories of her early relationship with Killian are interesting. She reflects on how hard she was and how he never gave up. That is important to the story, and for their growth.

Are Albert’s hopes ruined? What will people say about Victoria and Melbourne? He is spending the night in her room. What will her mother say? Looking forward to the rest.

Victoria and Emma as friends is wonderful, you can tell that Emma is helping to mold and shape Victoria in a positive way. The Queen should be allowed to be an independent woman! She will never be supported in a relationship with Lord M though and that’s unfortunate. I was anticipating that he would be forced to end things between them. I can’t see how it could continue. Leopold’s Blackmail wasn’t a complete surprise. It was awful and Victoria will be broken hearted but Leopold wants his family on the throne.

Thanks for a new chapter! I’ve read it and it was fantastic but until my reviews are caught up ...no spoilers from me!

In the meantime I’m looking forward to seeing Emma and Killian learn more about the Storybook and Emma helping Victoria deal with heartbreak.

Emma and Killian as matchmakers are adorable. Emma has a few more opportunities but she is helping and she is listening and she is giving Victoria a chance to live and experience. This is very interesting. I don’t know how this can resolve for Victoria, I am certain there will be challenges ahead. I am worried too for Emma and Killian finding a way to get home.

Thanks for the new chapter and for continuing, I am hoping to catch up with reviews!

OK I have never watched Victoria. And I held off reading this fic cause I like to binge read them. Omg. I'm in love with it. Even if no one else cares I certainly do! Good jobI'm so excited for the rest xx

Thanks for the reminder re: historical fiction, I’m thrilled that I don’t have to know anything historically accurate. I was thrilled to have a moment to re-read and review too! I am worried for Victoria, I don’t see a way for her to have happiness. I don’t trust Leopold. Who wrote the arrest warrant for Emma and Killian? What will they do if Emma’s brilliant story about Misthaven is revealed to be fake?

I love Emma being herself mostly! She’s no princess. Killian manages to pretend better. I enjoyed their horseback ride and memory of Camelot. I love to see Emma using magic too.

Victoria is exploring life and intimacy. I hope no one spies on them! Looking forward to the rest.
