 • • • • • • • • • • The Forest felt different this time around, and, Neal knew exactly why. Neal saw everyone spending time with their loved ones, and, it just made him realise just how much he missed his family. His son and Emma. They were the people he loved most in the world, and, he couldn't be with them.
This time around Neal couldn't even find comfort from his papa because he was gone too. His father had sacrificed himself to save him and Belle, his family. It was to give him a chance at happiness, but, it was because of the sacrifice that he lost his happiness again. And now all he saw was all three of them whenever he tried to sleep.
At least part of the time when dealing with the Wicked Witch, Neal was able to forget about those images for a while. Due to teaming up with The Charmings and Regina, Neal could focus all of his energy on trying to take her down, and, it takes out the time that would allow him to think about them.
Neal jumped slightly as he heard the voice behind him, and looked up as he saw Robin made his way next to him at the bar. The fact that he was offering to buy his drink made him smile softly, for the first time in a long time. Neal was going to turn it down, but, knew that Robin may not have listened to him anyway. “Um, one ale thanks.” Neal said, as he gestured to the bar-tender.
Neal watched as Robin took a seat next to him at the bar, and ran his hands over the counter. “No I don't mind you sitting here. I guess I don't look in the best shape do I? There's just a lot on my mind, and, has been since coming back here to the Forest. Yeah we haven't, I've been meaning to. To you know check on you and Roland. We've just had a lot to deal with. I guess we can do that now.”• • • • • • • • • • tag: notoriouspadnotes: anything else?credit: template is made by xxdawnxx from caution. Other credits. |

I thought pirates | | only cared about themselves | Bae wasn't one to rule people out, but, after what happened with his father, he wasn't quite sure how he could trust anyone else who lied to him after he let them get close. He knew he didn't have anywhere else to go, but, he wasn't sure he could stay here with this pirate. Bae knew in his heart he was better off alone, but, he also knew that he may not be able to resist the tempation of Pan a second time. He wouldn't have done what Hook assumed he would. He wasn't that kind of person to judge someone straight away. Whether they were bad or not.
“When someone's honest with me, I don't exactly turn them away. It's the fact that the lies were added on top of everything else. If there was honesty, but, still darkness inside. That I could've probably gotten past.” Bae knew that it is the same thing as with his father. Bae had been able to look past the dark sorceror he'd become, because he had loved him. But, the combination of the abandonment and the realisation of all the lies had been what made the way he felt about him change. “Yeah, and once you lose it. It's hard to get it back. Whether I want to take the chance is something I'm not sure of right now.” Bae was already fragile after what happened with his father, and, now learning about Hook and his mother abandoning him. When the conversation came to his mother, Bae sighed softly as he waited to hear what Hook was going to say in response this time. “What do you mean she hadn't the chance?” Bae asked. From what his papa had told him, his mother had left when he was nine, because that's what he was told that day. “How much older is older? From what my father said, she 'died' when I was nine. How am I supposed to believe that?” Bae asked, letting the tears continue to fall from his eyes. The strong wind from the Neverland sky made them sting in his eyes.
Bae was becoming insistant to know the intentions for why he lied, and, also to know what happened to his mother. It may help realise things, or it may make things worse. He wasn't sure which. Bae admittedly didn't care, he just wanted the truth from one adult in his life. No matter how much it hurt, no more lying to spare his feelings. Bae wasn't a kid anymore, he could handle it. At his next words Bae nodded “Yes people have lied to me before. I'm ready for it, I just want complete honesty, painful or not.” Bae said, as he spoke to Hook. Speaking his inner thoughts out loud to the pirate. “That's the kind of thing I'm sick of. People lying to me because they think it's too painful for me to know or to protect me. I'm not a kid anymore. We never know if I can handle it, if no-one tells me anything. Yeah, of course I'm old enough to know.”
Bae braced himself for the story, the one that his papa hadn't told him, and, the one that Hook thought he couldn't handle straight away. The fact that it started with his father, Bae now knew just how much his papa had lied to him. He knew that his papa was an angry man, but, he never thought his papa was a monster. No matter what he'd seen back in the Forest.
The last part about his papa crushing her heart made Bae's world stop still, and, he couldn't say anything. Bae felt his heart beat in his ears, and, his legs struggled to keep him upright. He let out a soft sound of shock, as his legs gave way and he fell to his knees to the deck of the Jolly Roger as he felt the tears escaping his eyes again. | | |

• • • • • • • • • • Continuing to ride the horse towards Hook, Neal waited for him to slow down, after he turned around. Neal was surprised he knew how to ride a horse, since he'd never actually been on one before. He was out of the Forest long before he'd gotten the chance to learn, but, now here he was riding it like he'd done it so many times. Looking up at the sky, Neal could tell it was getting dark soon, but, thanks to his short time with Hook, Neal knew how to use the stars to help him find his way around the Forest if he ever needed to. Things may have ended badly with Hook, but, he had taught him some pretty useful stuff during that short time together.
Neal jolted his horse to a halt as he caught up with Hook and his horse. Neal shook his head at his question before stroking the horse's mane “No, of course it's not. I borrowed one of the spare ones that Snow and Charming had.” Neal said, smiling softly. Neal hadn't actually owned a horse before, he knew that with his early life here his papa would've bought him one, or rather made a deal that led him to receive one. He wouldn't have wanted that, besides it didn't matter anyway. He was out of the Forest before it ever came into play. “It doesn't surprise me. You seemed to have a strange connection to him. One that I don't quite understand, and, that I'm sure I'm not meant to.” Neal said, knowing that he was emphasising that he was talking about the Jolly Roger, and, not the horse. At Hook's question, he lowered his head slightly. Was everything alright? Well, let's see he'd lost his whole family again, and, he once again had to watch it. He had to watch his papa die and watch the rest of the people he loved, Emma and Henry drive out of his life, possibly for good. Neal sighed as he raised his head “It really depends on your definition of alright” Neal wondered whether Hook would know what he meant by that. “But, if you mean in the sense of why I'm here. Then I just want to try and help you find the Jolly Roger. Because it was my home once too.”• • • • • • • • • • tag: Killian Jonesnotes: anything else?credit: template is made by xxdawnxx from caution. Other credits. |

Let's go back | | Back to the beginning | Ever since listening to August and letting Emma go to jail, Neal had moved himself to New York to start a new life. There had been something that told him to go there when he made the choice to escape somewhere. It was like it was drawing him there, and, that he was meant to be there.
Neal found out why when Emma turned up there one day, with her son. His son. Maybe his father was right, 'everything that happens does happen for a reason'. It allowed him to be the father to his son that he always wanted, and, also to get a chance at a fresh start with Emma. Things were going well between them for the most part.
When he had finished work, Neal headed over to Emma and Henry's apartment. Neal gave Emma some space by keeping his own apartment, so that he didn't overwhelm her all at once.
Soon he reached the apartment where his family lived, and, he made his way inside. Neal had a key, just in case of emergencies, and, he let himself inside, smiling as he saw Emma. "Hey Emma. How'd the interview go?"
His life had been relatively normal, and, for once it hadn't been changed or turned upside down by being forced to move or leave someone behind. Neal just hoped it would last this time. | | |

You have no idea | | what I've lived with | Neal didn't know why he was revealing this to Hook, it may be because he had been the main person he had confided in growing up. But, that hadn't ended too well as a kid. "You know you're not the only person who's said that. Maybe I should start listening." Neal said, knowing that Snow had told him that same thing. Which meant taking the chance to be with his family and Emma. Neal could tell that Killian didn't want to help him and Emma be together, but, he appreciated that he was acting like it anyway, and, ignoring those instincts. "You're right, but, running's the thing I've always been best at and how I've always survived in life." Ever since the workhouses, Neal had been running away. He had struggled to find roots in his life, and, settle down anywhere. This place Storybrooke was looking more and more scaringly like the place he could manage to finally do this.
Neal didn't know why he had agreed to have drinks with Hook, maybe it was to allow the air to be cleared between them. And for a fresh start with him as well. The last time he'd set foot on that ship was when he was 14 years old and Hook had taught him some pirate navigation, and, he had felt a unique bond with the pirate. Now, years and years had passed and now he was physically the same age as Hook. Maybe one day, Neal would ask Hook more about what his mother was like, as an attempt to try and learn more about her. At the pat on the back, Neal smiled before nodding gently "Lead the way good sir" Neal said, as he smiled and followed Hook towards where he kept the Jolly Roger here in Storybrooke. "Never thought I'd see it either. Of course I never thought I'd see you again at all. And you stabbing my father with your Dreamshade filled hook probably wasn't what I had in mind for the reunion I never expected." Neal said, smiling softly as he looked up at the ship he'd once saw as home. "I know you couldn't, but, that didn't stop some of your crew from trying." Neal remembered how one or two crew members would attempt to hand him some rum when Hook wasn't looking. | | |

you used me. you wanted to kill my father. you tore apart my family I'D RATHER FEND FOR MYSELF THEN BE WITH YOU. I WANT OFF THIS SHIP PIRATE. Bae listened as Elsa explained what exactly was wrong. "Well, if you're terrified of the open sea why are you on it? I mean, I don't want to seem rude with that question. Oh, I'm sorry. I lost my parents as well." Bae knew that the way she had lost her parents, was different to how he'd lost his. Well, at least his father anyway. Bae kept his head lowered, as he sighed sadly and kicked the air in front of him with his foot.
Returning Elsa's smile, Bae adjusted the sleeves of his shirt, and, dusting himself off slightly. "Yeah, I am looking for something. You can try to help, but, it won't do any good. Myst Haven, I've actually heard of that place. I know where it is, very well actually." Bae said, knowing that Myst Haven was another name for the Enchanted Forest. The land he'd once called home.
Bae looked at Elsa and noticed her reaction to his question about Anna. "No, I'm sorry I haven't. I just recall them asking if I'd seen her before they brought me here." Bae didn't like saying no, but, he wasn't going to give her false hope. He'd had enough of that for himself, he wasn't going to give that to the poor girl. "I wish I could say I had, I really do, and, I'm really sorry." Bae said, looking up to give himself a hint as to how this woman will react to his words. |

• • • • • • • • • • Neal had only been back in the Forest for about 2 weeks, and, he was still missing all of his family like crazy. He and Belle had been trying to figure out a way to bring his father back, to allow Belle to have him, and to allow himself to get back to Emma and Henry. But, things needed to be done and worked out before they could do that. Plus the fact that Snow and Charming rarely let him out of his sight, because they worried made things harder.
When he headed off to help Hook find his Jolly Roger, Neal had hoped that this could be his way back home, but, he hadn't found the ship, but, Neal had been able to bond with Hook again. Even if it had been years, and, the two of them were once again finding something in common. Missing Emma.
Sleeping at night-times in the Forest was hard, since all he saw was the moment his papa killed himself and his grandfather Peter Pan. And then watching Emma and Henry drive over that town-line and out of his life. With this inability to sleep, Neal found himself wandering the hallways of the castle late at night, soon ending up wandering the Forest itself. Since most other people slept quite soundly at night, Neal found himself having to be quiet or tip-toe through the castle until he reached the town he needed or place he was wandering to.
He knew that one thing he needed right now was a drink from the tavern not far from Regina's castle. Neal had never really been much of a drinker, but, he wanted to use a few now to allow him to be able to erase them from his mind and allow him to forget about them, well, not completely, but, hopefully it could numb the pain of not being able to be with them for a while.
After making his way towards Regina's stables, Neal found someone's horse and saddled them up with the correct gear. Hopefully they wouldn't miss it for a few hours, besides he would probably have it back by the time anyone realised he'd taken it.
Neal rode the horse that he had borrowed to the front of the tavern before tying it up out front and entering the door. Neal looked around and saw that it was just a usual crowd of local drunkards, and, the bar tenders, bar maids and all that.
Adjusting his shawl, Neal sighed softly before making his way towards the bar itself and sitting on a stool. Gesturing to the bar-tender, Neal sighed "Just give me the strongest drink you've got." Neal said, before looking around the tavern and then turning back to face the bar tender.• • • • • • • • • • tag: notoriouspadnotes: anything else?credit: template is made by xxdawnxx from caution.

Bae/Neal and Kat: I wonder if these two would've met while he was aboard Hook's ship on NL. If not, I'd be happy for them to have met in SB. Maybe even in the EF?
Let me know what you think?

Yeah, I'd love a reunion thread with these two. And by reunion, a thread where Neal actually gets to have real memories of his mother.
I'm cool with either if you want to start something up.

 • • • • • • • • • • Being back on that island of Neverland had made Neal a whole lot more confused then he already had been. It had made him feel a mix of emotions, and it brought back a whole lot of feelings that he thought he'd finally gotten past. After reuniting with his papa and Belle, and finally reuniting with John and Michael, Neal made his way back towards Henry, placing his hand on his shoulder as he noticed Emma sneaking off. Neal was standing with Henry, and finally taking the time to get to know him, after losing so much time both eleven years, and the time from when he went through that portal until that moment on the Jolly Roger.
Neal knew that while they were on Neverland, Emma had kissed Hook, and from the sounds of it in the Echo Caves, it had meant something to Hook since it had helped him forget about his first love... his mother. If Emma wanted to be with Hook, he would allow them to be. They would have to talk about eventually so that they could work out where they stood. But, he also knew they should wait until all of the craziness of everything that had happened had died down. Neal knew that aside from Henry, Emma had been the only one to ever get past his walls and get him to lower his guard around her. But, he wasn't quite ready to lower his walls for good again.
After leaving Henry with Regina, Mary Margaret and David, Neal decided to try and find Emma. The two of them could talk or at least get past some of the things that had happened. As he walked his thoughts began to wander, he found himself questioning what would've happened if he hadn't listened to August. Would he have still be reunited with his father, and the Darlings? Would Emma have ever found her parents? Neal shook the thoughts out of his head, as he spotted Emma on a bench in the park. Glancing out at the park as a whole, he could admit, this place was definitely more calm then Neverland. A smile grew on his face, as he placed his hands in the pockets of his jeans and walked over towards the bench. "Hey Emma, mind if I join you?" Neal asked, looking at her, the smile staying on his face.• • • • • • • • • • tag: Emma Swanoutfit: THISnotes: anything else?credit: template is made by xxdawnxx from caution. Other credits. |

Baelfire @tinkerbell;;notes;;words;; It hadn't been long since Bae had been betrayed by Hook and handed over to Felix and the rest of the Lost Boys of Pan's. Since coming to this island, he had been feeling even more lonely and lost then before. The other lost boys seemed to isolate him for the most part, he spent his time around the camp with them, but, they didn't seem to like him. Maybe, it was because he wasn't one of Pan's lackeys. Or maybe, it's because he knew he didn't belong on this island.
Baelfire once again was woken by the nightmare of seeing the moment his papa abandoned him over that portal. Bae sat up, and looked around the campfire, he noticed none of the other Lost Boys around the camp were up yet. He quietly stood up, and moved himself towards the fireplace, warming his hands up over it. Only hearing the noise of the crickets, Baelfire sighed softly shaking that dream out of his head. Hearing movement from a couple of the Lost Boys around him, Bae sighed sadly before making his way over towards the younger lost boy and wrapping the blanket further around him as a way to warm him up. Then he grabbed his bow and arrow, before deciding to take a walk around the Neverwood.
He always found Neverland spookingly quiet, while it was a spooky place all of its own, but, the fact that it was quiet on top of everything else just freaked Baelfire out more. One of the main reasons was that it could mean that the Lost Boys or Pan's Shadow, even Pan himself, were lurking and trying to watch and wait for the right time.
As he continued to wander the wood of Neverland, Bae's head filled with images of his the Darlings faces, the people he sacrificed himself for that night. Bae smiled largely as he saw them, since they were a family that actually cared for him, and not something else more. Of course when his head filled with images of his papa and Hook, he stopped dead in his tracks, and the expression on his face changed dramatically and he blinked back the tears coming to his eyes.
He felt the anger bubbling inside of him, his hands turning into fists by his side. Bae grabbed the bow off of his shoulder, and, pulled an arrow from the quiver that he kept them in. It was one of the best ways to let out his anger, and, after taking aim at a tree he fired the arrow. He was about to lower the bow when he heard a noise from the part of the woods beside the tree he'd just fired, so instead he reloaded and held the arrow beside him "Who's there?" Bae called out, as he waited for whoever it was to show themselves. |

Hades and Baelfire/Neal: I'm not sure how your timing works, but, maybe if Hades ends up back in the Underworld, maybe, he and Neal ran into each other after Neal's death in SB. or EF threads between them, since son of the Dark One an God of the Underworld could be interesting.

 I'd love to do some Tinkerfire threads both past and present.
So much was left unwritten with both of their NL lives. I would love to plot something out between them for that time.
Also SB threads, with Neal checking how Tink's adjusting to the real world.
and a missing year thread could be cool. Neal seeing Tink as an actual fairy with the wings and everything, it'll be interesting.
What do you think?

 Neal and Robin
I feel these two need to have threads, they had the potential for a great brotp with the moment in the Forest during the missing year. It could be fun to do some more plots during that missing year, and some threads in SB.
What do you think? |
