Captain Swan Supernatural Summer: June Round-Up
Now that weâve reached the end of our event, itâs time for ROUND UPS, starting withâŚÂ
JUNE 2021
âThe Good Fightâ
We kicked off the event with @justanother-unluckysoul âs âThe Good Fightâ with art by @wefoundloveunderthelight !
Summary: Emma Nolan has hunted a lot of creatures in her life and there are very few things out there that she hasnât killed at this point. But thereâs one thing that isnât real â angels. At least, thatâs what she thought until the day she met Killian, angel of the lord.
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
Chapter 4
Chapter 5
Chapter 6
âThe Belle Dame Emmaâ
Next came @snowbellewells âThe Belle Dame Emma,â with art by @caught-in-the-filter
Summary:Â Legend has it that the fae woman in the meadow will ensnare any who dare enter her domain, but the knight who chances a meeting can tell there is more to the story than superstition and gossip has allowed. The path to the truth and redemption may be fraught with dangers - to the both of them - but is it not the sworn duty of a true knight to help any who may be in need?
Start Reading it here!Â
âUnmasking the Truthâ
@stahlop âs âUnmasking the Truthâ was a lovely superhero one-shot with art by @kmomof4
Read it here!
âThe Descentâ
Next came a vampire/werewolf AU by saviorrswan, âThe Descent!â Find it on AO3 here!Â
Summary:Â Everything had changed for Emma Swan so incredibly, mind-numbingly fast. Being a werewolf was simple, as simple as being supernatural could be, but now she was more than that. A vampire. A hybrid. A paradox, abomination, and mess all wrapped up in a nice little bow. Killian Jones, a decently old pirate turned vampire, has been asked to tutor a young vampire-werewolf hybrid on how to be a studious, law-abiding vampire.
He didnât expect her to warm his still-beating heart and move his wretched soul.
She didnt expect him to break down her walls and help her learn to love herself again.
Original art by @carpedzem
Then we had a beautiful sketch by @carpedzem
âIvory Runs Redâ
Then we were all blown away by @searchingwardrobes âs ghost story âIvory Runs Redâ! (completed!)
Summary: When ebony flashes gold, blood runs cold. When ivory runs red, youâll be dead. Killian Jones had heard the old rhyme his entire life. Every child did in Storybrooke, Maine. They heard it whispered in the dark at sleepovers as children; taunted as a challenge as teenagers. Killian never believed it was actually true. Until that fateful night âŚ
Find it here!
âMost Wantedâ
@spartanguard brought us to a new world that brings together the Enchanted Forest and the wild west with âMost Wantedâ! (Complete!)
Summary:Â Killian Jones has been tracking Emma Swan, notorious cat burglar, across the realm as sheâs wanted for murder. The sooner he finds her, the faster he gets back to his daughter. But meeting an enchanting lass in a small villageâalong with Miss Swanâs feline familiar (perhaps too familiar)âdefinitely affects his plans; this case might not be as open-and-shut as heâd like.

So thank you all from the bottom of my heart!!!
And now, on to the roundup!!!! Under the cut, unless Tumblr ate it.
I opened us up this year on July 2 with the first of two contributions I prepared for this final event. The Arena was a short and - kinda, maybe, not so much overall, but def by the end - sweet werewolf oneshot with breathtaking artwork by @motherkatereloyshipper !!!

On Aug 4, I posted my second fic for the event, Return to Me, again with stunning artwork by @motherkatereloyshipper !! Since the whole purpose of this event was to bump up the number of werewolf and vampire CS fics, and I'd already posted a werewolf fic this year, I came up with a fic that I thought the original Dracula was kinda about. Turns out that I was very wrong. But anyway, it was a lot of fun to write.

Each one was absolutely fantastic and I hope there will come a day when she is able to write the fics and share them with us!!

Our last fic of the event, Scattered Earth (Mortua Terra), posted just yesterday.

The fic was absolutely incredible!!! Supernatural investigative reporters Emma Swan and Killian Jones team up to solve a mystery. Utterly perfect artwork done by @eastwesthomeisbest

Well, that's it, y'all!! Our FINAL CSSNS has come to an end!!

Everyone take a moment, take a deep breath, and join me in expressing your appreciation to all the participants this year and over the last six for giving us such PHENOMENAL, INCREDIBLE, FANTASTIC supernatural stories!!! There are still many fics from past years that the authors are still active in fandom and plan on continuing whenever they get a chance. And to that end, this blog is not going anywhere. Whenever an update to a fic posts, I'll be right here to read, flail, and reblog.
Until then, y'all!!!
