Protective Killian is the best. The way he searches her eyes. He just has to make absolutely certain that his Emma is okay at all times. One of my favorite things about him.
I definitely did not intend for this to become a multi-post thing, haha. But yeah, Iβve had this episode on my mind lately. Itβs been a long time since Iβve written any fanfic, but I keep wanting to write about this episode. It was such an important one for them!
Iβve been thinking about this episode a lot lately for some reason. I just love the way he takes care of her! He was so worried. π₯Ί
I also love the way she leans into him and lets him care for her. This is such a big deal for Emma! She just needed her pirate. π₯Ί
I also think about how exhausted Emma must have been from constantly needing to the strong one. For herself mostly, but also for other people. I donβt think she was ever able to truly and completely rest until Killian came along. She couldnβt afford to. Not before Killian.
One of the things I keep thinking about is how sheβd never really had anyone to take care of her when she needed it. Not until Killian. He makes her feel safe enough to let herself be vulnerable. And she doesnβt care who all sees. She just needed Killian.
