A wonderful addition to after-story which I've read first.
Vulnerability of strong Captain and Emma walls as always.

:( So beautiful but so sad!

Also hot!

Loved this but so sad at the end

This was very good. Though I would have added that she laid on his coat or something as you do NOT want sand everywhere if you get my drift. Poor Killian but so glad you wrote the other piece, I liked that ending. And Jesus, Emma just cannot relax and enjoy herself. Sooo irritating. Thanks for writing, cheers.

DUDE! IT WAS AN AWESOME STORY BUT THE ENDING WAS AWFUL! JUST AWFUL! JUST LET THEM BE TOGETHER!

Love this story

OMG NO! He needs a happy ending too! I'm reading the story that comes after this!

I've read this before but wanted to revisit it, because it's just that good.

I'm going to try this one more time.

Here, I read this story again, and again, the intensity of it shook me. You write emotions so well! All the frustration, desperation, all the need - you can feel it. I'm happy that you gave us an insight of what's going in Killian's head. I love how everyrhing he does, he does for her, how he wants to take away her pain, how he puts her first. But his emotions throughout the story crushed me. Seriously. This story is so brilliant and deep due to the spectrum of emotions on both sides. I loved the way you wrote 3 times they kissed - all kisses are meaningful, but each of them differs from the other and sends a different message. The smut part was amazing and one big emotion. I almost felt like giving them a hug, poor babies :( But that's not what I meant to say about this, actually :D I wanted to piont out how both of them, even at times of being needy, and desperate, and broken don't give up on their stubborn nature.

"He was no longer allowed to be 'Killian', but had been demoted back to 'Hook'. Her captain, the man leading her and her family back to her boy, nothing more, nothing less." - I'm not sure what suprises me more: that the name thing is so important to him, or that this line affected me so much.
The last part killed me. Thank you very much. Killian is hurt, bitter, you wrote it perfectly, my heart aches.

Wow... that was... Deep. I loved the emotion, and how you got a good idea of what happened without it being overly ... I don't know the word, but perhaps 'strange'? Captain Swan is pretty much the only shipping where the smut thing really works for me, and you're really good at writing it!

This was fantastic!

But the ending! Oh the ending broke my heart.

Omg this was so amazing! The end broke my heart though ):

My poor bb!

Naw, that ending was kinda sad... :( great story though :)

Wow! What an awesome prologue to the other fic! Thanks so much for sharing! :)
