How The Black Family embodies the Big, Screwed-Up Family Trope. "though if you piss off one of them, the rest will instantly band together to destroy you in order to uphold the Family Honor." [AU of the First Wizarding War in which a Horcrux muddles the conception of Toujours Pur and The Family, dysfunctional though it may be, finds a third side in the war.] Cross-Pubed from AO3

Emma Swan didn't expect to remember. She also didn't expect a baby or a pirate to show up at her door, waiting to take her home. Though... sometimes home comes to you. CS Season 3 AU: The Dark Curse takes them to another city... New York.

The curse was a fickle entity. Expecting to find the dread Captain Hook, it spits a child back out on the side of the road. At three, Killian Jones finds himself confronted with the blonde Savior. Emma, abandoned, finds herself staring her past, though neither of them know it. [Slight Curse AU]

Based on the song by Third Eye Blind. Captain Hook is gone, yet darkness still plagues the lonely shell of a man that's left. Emma's trapped, unbeknownst to him, as he tries to take his final bow.
