Fic: In the Still of the Night (1/1)

[dani-ellie.livejournal.com]

Title: In the Still of the Night
Summary: With Swan's mind so focused on something other than the here and now, any interruption of her thoughts was going to startle her. Still, Hook tried to be as unobtrusive as possible when he softly asked, "When was the last time you slept, love?"
Word Count: 2081, so sayeth OpenOffice.
Spoilers: Post-ep for 3x02, "Lost Girl."
Characters: Captain Hook and Emma Swan.
Rating/Warning: PG for language. Some angst and some Captain Swan sweetness.
Disclaimer: Once Upon a Time and its characters were created by Eddie Kitsis and Adam Horowitz and are owned by ABC. I borrowed them because, well, it's hiatus. I figure they can work for me for a little while since they're not being used at the moment.
Author's Note: I have a multichapter I should be working on, but this is the kind of thing that results when a ship eats my brain. Again, please excuse my mixing of musical metaphors, because although the title comes from the old song originally by The Five Satins, the inspiration for this story came from Frankie Valli's "Can't Take My Eyes Off You." ( ... I like oldies. Shush. ;)) Feedback would thrill me to pieces! Enjoy.
