[Neverland plotline] Hook gets himself stabbed and Emma plays nurse, slaps a mermaid, undresses a pirate and this is really not as funny as it sounds. (spiritual sequel to neck deep)

[neverland plotline] Emma takes an accidental dive in the mermaid lagoon, has a catfight with a topless female sea-monster and Hook worries himself sick. Yes, Emma hates Neverland. With all of her fucking heart.

She feels more than sees his surprise; the quiet gasp against her lips and the nervous flutter of his eyelashes next to her skin; the hand that freezes halfway to her nape and the brief hesitation before he returns the kiss. And when Emma pulls back, her lips red and swollen, the first thing that comes out of her mouth is "Oh, shit". Smooth, Emma. Real smooth. [First kiss]
