World Frog Day

World Frog Day is an annual celebration celebrated on March 20. Unlike other animals, not all of us love frogs for their looks, appearance, and most importantly, their croak. Most often they are tiny creatures, small in body, and will make us scrunch up our faces. Frogs are amphibians that can be found both on land and in water. They are considered to be predators and play an important role in preserving the environment throughout their lives. In recent years, however, frogs have been critically endangered for several reasons. World Frog Day is an awareness day celebrated to save these living beings and provide them with a safer environment to survive.

History of World Frog Day

World Frog Day has been celebrated since 2014. There is no precise mention of the person or organization that started this awareness day; it was created to save the different frog species from extinction. Frogs are tailless amphibians with origins dating back nearly 256 million years. They were valued as food by the people and also have many cultural roles including literature, symbolism, and religion. Approximately 6,000 known frog species have been found, of which 4,800 recorded frog species have been found around the world except for Antarctica. But around 170 species of frogs have become extinct in the past decade. The reason for their population decline is different, as they are disappearing due to both human activity and fungal infections.

Frog populations have declined significantly since the 1950s and around a third of the world’s species are critically endangered, while more than 120 species are believed to have been extinct since the 1980s. The extinction of certain frogs has been traced back to emerging fungal diseases, habitat destruction and alteration, pollution, climate change, pesticide use, and more. All of this led to an increase in malformations in frogs in particular.

Many conservation biologists around the world are actively working to find and understand the causes of these problems and ways to solve them. Frogs are tailless amphibians of the order. Anura. They are widespread from the tropics to the subarctic regions, but the highest concentration of biodiversity is found in tropical rainforests. The oldest fossil of the “Protofrog” appeared in the early Triassic of Madagascar. However, the dating of the molecular clock suggests that the origin of the frog could stretch further back into the Permian, approximately 265 million years ago.

5 Facts About Frogs That Will Leave You Baffled

6,000 species of frogs across the world

Frogs can drink water through their skin

Jump 20 times their body length

Some of them are poisonous

They display vibrant colors

Frogs are among the most diverse animals on land, with more than 6,000 species distributed across various parts of the globe.

Frogs drink water through their skin by absorbing it and have a drinking patch located on their belly and the underside of their thighs via which they absorb water.

One trait that stands out among frogs is their ability to jump and can reach heights of 20 times their body length.

Poison dart frogs have highly toxic skin and one species known as the golden poison frog perfects the ability to kill 10 adult males.

Frogs are not just green or yellow — which are commonly seen during the monsoon months — but display a range of colors from vibrant red to dark blue.

Why We Love World Frog Day

It's aimed to raise awareness

It celebrates these diverse and valuable treasures of the ecosystem

It improves people's overall knowledge about frogs

The primary aim of this day is to raise awareness of the different species of frogs and to protect them further. See what you can do on this day to contribute.

Frogs play a central role in many ecosystems. They control the insect population, and they're a food source for many larger animals. Frogs can also secrete substances through their skin. Some secretions are beneficial and researchers have used some of them to create new antibiotics and painkillers.

Aside from the celebration of the tailless amphibians, it's a day also set aside to help educate the general populace on the different species of frogs that exist, their habitats, how they feed, what is causing their ecological decline, and how we can better protect and save these awesome creatures.

Head canon asks☮♡ ൠ ♥ + Tiana

☮ - friendship headcanon

Tiana never had a real, true best friend until Ella. She had friends, sure. They all disappeared as soon as Tiana and Eudora went broke, though. Ella was the first person who didn’t want to be friends with her because of her status.

♡ - romantic headcanon

Naveen and Tiana end up having a huge wedding once the United Realms come together. They had barely dated before the curse was cast and they didn’t want to rush things.

ൠ - random headcanon

Because Tiana and Naveen choose not to have children, they have to find an heir to succeed them. Neal Charming and Phillip II (who are married) are who they choose, as they are the sons of royalty and have a strong desire to rule.

♥ - family headcanon

Tiana discovers that her father had a long lost brother who lived in a different realm. While the brother and his wife are now deceased, their daughter is still alive and ruling with her prince. Her name is Rapunzel and as it turns out, she’s the very one that David Charming helped during the Missing Year.

National Tell a Fairy Tale Day 

Gather round the fire, and make yourselves comfortable… Tell A Fairy Tale Day is all about exploring myths and stories, old and new. From grim(m) tales to urban legends, tap the dark corners of your subconscious and see what you find…

History of Tell A Fairy Tale Day

The sharing of magical, otherworldly stories is a tale as old as time. While the term ‘fairy tale’ was coined in 1697 by Madame d’Aulnoy (conte de fées in her native French), it’s likely that some fairy tales originated as early as the bronze age over 6,000 years ago. And for most of history, fairy tales have been passed on not in written form but via the oral tradition, with each generation telling and dramatizing stories to the next.

The fairy tale’s ancient roots can be traced all over the world, from Vikram-Betaal in India and Aesop’s Fables in Ancient Greece to Arabian Nights in the Middle East. It was during the late 17th to 19th centuries that fairy tale collectors emerged, most famously Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm. While the Brothers Grimm aimed to preserve folktales in their pure form, documenting them in the way they were told by rural peasants unable to read or write, Perrault and others reworked fairy tales for literary and artistic effect, with some writers such as Hans Christian Andersen dreaming up their own new stories.  

As the fairy tale’s history emerges into the modern day, it’s clear that the genre is still as popular as ever – look no further than the success of Disney movies to see how these stories continue to capture our hearts and imaginations. In fact, the famous Disney castle is inspired by Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, built by none other than the Märchenkönig (fairy-tale king), Ludwig II of Bavaria, himself. Perched on a rocky hill and with horse-drawn carriage rides up to the front door, Neuschwanstein and its elaborate interior abound in myths and legends – the castle is even home to an artificial grotto!

By celebrating Tell A Fairy Tale Day, you’ll be continuing the magical tradition that has ensured fairy tales are still very much part of our lives to this day.

How fairy tales change over time

Perhaps one of the most interesting aspects of fairy tales is how they change over time. Simple plot structures, motifs and archetypal characters recurring across many cultures make these stories rife for adaptation and reinterpretation.

Although nowadays we usually associate fairy tales with children’s literature, you may be surprised to learn that many of today’s beloved stories have rather dark and disturbing origins. Imagine a world in which no woodcutter comes to save Little Red Riding Hood from the wolf’s belly, or in which one of the ugly stepsisters cuts off her own toes so that her foot fits in the slipper! From the 18th century onwards, many fairy tales were toned down and reworked so that they were more suitable for children.

These stories and the genre itself have also been adapted and reinvented for different time periods and cultures. Alongside original modern-day fairy tales, there are also various retellings, for example in urban settings or different countries. One particularly common type of retelling comes from women writers. Authors such as Angela Carter and Margaret Atwood have taken what are often seen as outdated tropes about women and reinvented them – the damsel in distress becomes the plucky heroine, and the trapped bride leaves her ogre husband for her happily ever after.

Why fairy tales are important

As it is often claimed Albert Einstein once said, “If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” We might not expect such high praise for fairy tales from a world-famous theoretical physicist, but Einstein recognized the importance of the imagination. Fairy tales are incredibly valuable for both children and adults when it comes to learning about the world in which we live and developing our capacity for creativity. Fairy tales have also been considered fertile ground by psychoanalysts. With their twists and turns, age-old themes and familiar characters, our favorite stories may reveal not only the workings of our personal subconscious but also the fundamental elements of our collective psyche.  

How to celebrate Tell A Fairy Tale Day

It should be clear by now that, when it comes to celebrating Tell A Fairy Tale Day, you really can let your imagination run wild! And while it’s a day that kids will love, it’s also a great occasion for adults too.

Gather your friends and family and take it in turns to share your favorite stories with one another. Time to brush up on your acting skills, as the more dramatic enactments the better – whether you’re good at impersonating a wicked witch or excel at acting out the characters’ quest through the enchanted forest, you’ll want to really make the tale come to life for your audience. And why not sit around a bonfire toasting marshmallows or string up some fairy lights in your living room to add to the atmosphere?

Alongside sharing the stories we know and love, fairy tales are the perfect genre for getting creative and honing your writing skills. Take a well-known story and tweak it to fit a different time or setting, or have a crack at inventing your own. It may well start with ‘Once upon a time’, but it’s completely up to you whether there’s a ‘Happily ever after’! Many libraries and literary organizations will also share stories and creative resources and even hold events to help mark the occasion.

If writing’s not your thing, then there are plenty of films and programs based on fairy tales for you to enjoy. Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Cinderella and The Little Mermaid are just some examples of the media giant’s adaptations, while movies and TV series such as Into the Woods and Tell Me a Story interweave and retell various classic fairy tales for new audiences.

And if you feel like going all out, why not host a fairy tale themed party? Encourage your guests to come in fancy dress, put on an enchanted feast of yummy snacks such as gingerbread houses and toadstool cupcakes, and throw some legendary party games like hunt the pea and castle building.  

However you choose to celebrate Tell A Fairy Tale Day, it’s sure to be a magical occasion!

Best of the Bi-Month

The Lady’s Guide to Celestial Mechanics by Olivia Waite (2019): With her ex-girlfriend just married to a man and her wastrel brother threatening to sell her telescope, Lucy Muchelney takes up Catherine St. Day, the recently widowed Countess of Moth, on an offer to translate a French astronomy text. Instead of the simple job she expected, Lucy finds a staunch (and distressingly attractive) ally in Catherine, as well as a path to success and notoriety. This Regency is the historical f/f romance I’ve always dreamed of: charming, funny, moving, well-plotted, and sensual. Also, because Catherine is bisexual, it truly is the best of the BI-month, LOL.

Worst of the Bi-Month

Easy Riders, Raging Bulls by Peter Biskind (1998): Biskind chronicles the rise and fall of the American New Wave in Hollywood, starting with the release of The Graduate and Bonnie and Clyde in the late sixties, and ending with the last gasps of the early 1980s. This book was just miserable to read, mostly because of Biskind’s embarrassingly disorganized style. He jumps around from subject to subject with no transitions, sometimes within a single paragraph. Instead of finding consistent ways to identify his subjects, he’ll let you spend half a paragraph trying to figure out whether he’s talking about Robert Altman, Robert Towne, or Robert Evans. He also has a nasty way of talking about women, inviting you to boo at the misogyny of various directors, writers, actors, and producers while downplaying the talent and basic humanity of the women involved. 

Rest of the Bi-Month

Frog Music by Emma Donoghue (2014): In 1876 San Francisco, French-born burlesque dancer Blanche Beunon loses her friend Jenny Bonnet, a cross-dressing frog-catcher, to an unknown gunman. The next few days find her racing around the city, trying to solve Jenny’s murder, recover her missing baby, avoid her vengeful (possibly murderous) ex and his sort-of boyfriend, and not get killed by smallpox or angry mobs. A series of flashbacks also show her budding friendship with Jenny and crumbling relationship with her former-trapeze-artist lover. This is a wonder of historical fiction, incredibly vibrant and operatic in scale. Blanche is a beautifully complicated heroine, and the real-life-based Jenny is amazing, too.

My One and Only Duke by Grace Burrowes (2018): Framed for murder and facing a hanging in Newgate, footman-turned-banker Quinton Wentworth performs one last good deed: marrying Jane McGowan, a poor pregnant widow, so she and her unborn child can live on part of his fortune. Then he gets a last-minute pardon and learns that he’s inherited a dukedom, making the wife he barely knows a duchess. Plus, the person who framed him is very much still trying to ruin his life. This Regency winningly combines an enjoyably high-concept plot with a pair of protagonists who are endlessly kind and supportive to each other. The historical details, especially the descriptions of Newgate, are also fun. (My edition also came with a Georgian-set novella by Elizabeth Hoyt, Once Upon a Christmas Eve, which was cute but not remarkable.)

Copper Sun by Sharon M. Draper (2006): In the mid-eighteenth century, Amari, a fifteen-year-old girl in Ghana, is kidnapped from her home and sold into slavery in South Carolina. She finds allies in a kind enslaved cook, her sweet little boy, and even a sullen white indentured servant girl, but the cruelty of her owners proves bottomless, eventually forcing her and her new friends to flee to possible freedom in Florida. Draper offers a powerful story about survival in the face of great physical danger and crushing psychological trauma, as well as a thorough yet easy-to-understand examination of the social structure of the colonial South. The evolution of Polly, the self-centered and resentful indentured servant, is also fascinating. 

Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli (2018): High school senior Leah Burke keeps her non-anger feelings to herself and hides her vulnerabilities with sarcastic humor, a strategy that proves increasingly ineffective as her friend group implodes and she finds herself falling in love with an (apparently!) straight golden-girl classmate. I read the first book in this universe, Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, earlier this summer, and I found it utterly charming. Leah, however, hit home. Deeply insecure, principled to the point of judgmental harshness, and anxious about everything from her body to her mom’s finances, Leah reminded me a lot of my high-school self, and it was moving to see her adjust her perspective. I was also a fool and did not see the Abby romance coming, much to my delight.

The Prodigal Duke by Theresa Romain (2017): Years ago, Leo Billingsley left home to make his fortune at the request of his titled older brother, leaving his childhood friend Poppy Hayworth behind. Now that his brother is dead, he��s come to take responsibility for the dukedom, but his judgmental elderly uncle is making that difficult because it’s 1815 and he doesn’t get that Leo is doing his best to work around what we would now call ADHD. Leo goes to Poppy for help gaining his uncle’s support, only to find that she’s dealing with her own problems by working as a rope dancer at Vauxhall Gardens. This is an adorable romance; Poppy and Leo have a great old-friends dynamic, sharing inside jokes and easily emphasizing with each other’s predicaments. Romain makes great use of quirky historical details, too.

Labyrinth by Alex Beecroft (2016): Kikeru, the child of a priestess at the Temple of Knossos, is being pressured to choose between marrying a woman (as a man) and becoming a celibate priestess (as a woman). Kikeru doesn’t want to do either of those things; they just want to invent stuff, find love with a dude, and be nonbinary. Rusa, a merchant captain and a total DILF, appreciates Kikeru for who they are, but will society let them be together? Also, the mainland Greeks have plans to attack the temple, so that’s a whole thing. Beecroft’s reconstruction of Ancient Crete is fun and creative, reminding me of my childhood fascination with D’Aulaires’ Book of Greek Myths. The romance between Kikeru and Rusa is endearing, plus I liked Kikeru’s relationship with their overbearing but well-meaning mom and Rusa’s relationship with his daring pregnant daughter.

Girl Reporter Blows Lid Off Town! by Linda Ellerbee (2000): Small-town sixth-grader Casey Smith has big dreams of being a journalist, so she’s crushed to find out that her middle school’s newspaper has been defunct for years. When she proposes a revival to her English teacher, she learns that peppy type-A Megan O’Connor has beaten her to the punch. A war for the editor-in-chief position ensues, but Casey also has to help recruit other staff and write an exposé on pollution at the local paper mill. This book is the first in the eight-book Get Real series, which absolutely should’ve been wronger. Ellerbee, a pioneering journalist, also writes one hell of a series debut. Casey, insecure and loud-mouthed and a total loose cannon, is a great protagonist, like a perfect combination of Liz Lemon and Leslie Knope. Megan is a worthy opponent, whose perky demeanor belies a core of steel and a lot of professionalism. The other staff--spacey cartoonist Ringo, intellectual sports writer Gary, and prickly photographer Toni--are also amazingly well-rounded, given the brevity of the novel. The style is pretty dated--it’s practically written in gel pen in a Limited Too diary--but that has its charms.

The Art of the English Murder by Lucy Worsley (2013): Worsley details the evolution of British crime fiction throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, starting with the growing fascination with real-life murders in the 1800′s and ending with the decline of genteel detective fiction. I’ve had not-great experiences with Worsley, but this is an enjoyable, if not particularly deep overview.

The Crimson Outlaw by Alex Beecroft (2013): After angering his boyar father and suffering harsh punishment, callow young Vali Florescu flees his home and hides among the local peasants. While there, he makes the acquaintance of Mihai Roscat, a dispossessed warrior who now lives as the Crimson Outlaw. Once he realizes that his father is an even worse ruler than he is a parent, Vali enlists the help of Mihai to overthrow him. This is a pretty but rather slight novella with a unique setting (1720s Romania). 

Project Duchess by Sabrina Jeffries (2019): Fletcher Pryde, the Duke of Greycourt, returns home for his stepfather’s funeral. It’s an already-stressful occasion, thanks to his loving but strained relationships with his mother and step-siblings, but then his stepbrother shares his suspicions that the standoffish war-veteran gamekeeper, a distant cousin, was responsible for the death. Fletcher is tasked with getting to know Beatrice, the gamekeeper’s sister, to see if she knows anything. Worried for her brother and burdened with her own secrets, Beatrice is as wary of Fletcher as he is of her, yet they have a connection. This is a cute, readable little Regency that never quite lives up to its premise, although I liked both protagonists a lot.

St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves by Karen Russell (2006): In this collection of short stories, we hear from teenage boys who have “prophetic” dreams about historical tragedies, girls living in abandoned gator-wrestling theme parks, and the marital difficulties of old-timey Minotaurs who marry human women. I was prepared to love this surreal collection after reading Russell’s sublime Vampires in the Lemon Grove this past summer, and I don’t know why I didn’t. The best stories are good, but I didn’t really connect with or remember them afterwards. I think there’s too much weird machinery without enough grounding in real emotional conflicts.

Dunbar by Edward St. Aubyn (2017): Dunbar, a retired Canadian media mogul, is sabotaged and railroaded into a nursing home by his two scheming eldest daughters. As he tries to escape the home with the help of an alcoholic comedian, his disinherited youngest daughter and his well-meaning lawyer try to find out where he’s been institutionalized. This modern retelling of King Lear is fairly interesting but never really gets off the ground; it feels more like St. Aubyn is playing with dolls than writing a novel.

RIPTIDE by @courtorderedcake Beta’d by the wonderful @ultraluckycatnd

An Enchanted Forest AU where the dark one was never released into the world in a vessel, thus causing a massive shift in timelines. The ogre wars have ravaged kingdoms, untold destruction spanning continents, rulers displaced. Even as the wars sputter to ash, the safest place to be is at sea, and that’s not very safe at all - as Emma and Killian find out, fates intertwined against all odds.

Rated: E/X - heavy content : warnings of assault, rape, noncon, just everything, I feel like the rating says enough. It’s something.

WARNING: READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.

 Chapter XIII : Spyglass; An Epilogue

Thomas Harriot is known to have turned a spyglass on the Moon, though with only three powers, he was unable to correctly discern neither crater nor mountain. Such a feat would require five to six powers, or higher.

-The History of the Spyglass

Time passes and tongues wag to fill quiet spaces.

The captain of the Gilded Wing, in his wisdom, decided piracy was not for him. With his bonny bride and an assortment of ex-privateers, they become a well respected merchant vessel and tradeship. Some said it was his charming and silver tongued demeanor, while others swore he was the gruffest man they ever traded with. Either way, his coffers were that of a king. If anyone asked about the haggard blonde and dark haired man with one hand juggling two wide eyed babes, they received no answers. Silence was a deafening warning.

The Jolly Roger is rumored to have sank in a battle with the Gilded Wing, the reckless captain duo of pirate lovers, Hook and Swan, finally finding a watery grave; together even in death.

Sightings of a glowing ship flying their flag are whispered among slave ships and crooked pirates who deal in innocent blood. It appears out of a dense fog, a ghostly enchantress with blonde hair whipping in the wind with her eternal love at her side, coat flapping and hook raised. Demons who leave no survivors except those bound in chains or held in a brig. Ghosts who steal back treasure that was taken wrongfully.

Or, as Emma calls it, 'date night’.

More children join the twins on the timbers of The Wing. Snow unexpectedly going into labor with her son Leo six months after the twins are born. Luckily, Whale and Tink had decided to stay on. David loses his mind with worry at not being prepared, but Snow breezes through the delivery right into motherhood.

“I didn't even get morning sickness, and I really didn't gain much weight. I'm lucky I didn't do anything crazy, or my labor might have been earlier and rougher,” Snow confides in Emma, as they nursed together in the sunshine of the deck. Leo latches easily, Snow smiling serenely. Emma has a foot in her face and both of her beloved children have fistfuls of her hair.

“Well, aren't you special,” Emma grumbled.

Maggie watches their twins with joy, bouncing them on her knees and singing to them while letting them eat as much pie as their small hands can grab. She quilts them beautiful blankets and knitted toys. Her shy husband even makes wooden toys for them, and does small magic tricks. Emma realizes that the shy bearded man is the tallest dwarf she’s ever seen slightly too late, and he laughs it off without worry. “i used to get grumpy about that sort of thing, but up here? I’m dreamy,” Leroy tells her, and he comes out of his shell completely.

Some of the crew leaves, as is expected when things change. They say goodbye to Rory and Phillip first, as the call comes that they can return for the throne of their homeland. Rory starts to send letters to them with her full name, Aurora, detailing palace life and asking for advice on policy. Emma finds it dreadfully boring, but David, Killian and Snow have vigorous debates on the shaping of the country.

Graham and Ruby leave to start a pack in unclaimed territory of the Enchanted Forest, gathering lone wolves and setting up rules that soon become a permanent structure. While there is still an ogre problem, the pack is strong and faces the danger head on.

Mal and Z return to the dragon lands together, slipping away quietly and without much notice. Killian can only laugh as he watches two dragons on the horizon disappear into the sunset.

Graham and Ruby return to say hello now and then when The Wing docks in The Enchanted Forest. Eventually, they rejoin the crew, the risk of Ogre attack while Ruby raises their litter of three beautiful boys deemed too dangerous by Graham. Hunter, Willow, and Forrest all have the same dark brown shock of hair, heavily taking after their father. To Graham, his small pack is everything, and Ruby feels the same; they'll forego the change to raise their young with no regrets. Emma happily brews them a Lunar Stasis draught, and they fall into the routine easily, Ruby complaining about constantly having a babe to her breast while the other women nod and bounce her other triplets.

Mal and Z do not visit. Instead, they extend an invite to show off their egg. The entire crew doesn't know what will be inside, until they get a bans stating, ‘It’s a girl! (Dragon, but currently unable to transform). Please welcome Lily.’

Snow notes the design is lovely, irregardless of the strangeness of the message.

Regina and Robin welcome a beautiful dark haired girl around the time the twins see eighteen months, and a once hardened Regina softens completely. They name her for a powerful enchantress in another realm, Lucinda, or Lucy for short.

Snow and David welcome a blonde tufted girl to the world soon after Regina’s daughter is born and Leo turns one, David immediately finding himself wrapped around his daughter's finger. They name her Ruth after his and Emma's mother. Leo is insanely jealous, but makes do by going through a shrieking stage.

Merida and Fa finally get married, the ceremony a complete hodgepodge of both of their cultures that somehow not only works, but works well. Plaid tartan and silk floral prints drape a verdant forest glade, a bamboo archway placed where they exchange vows. There's a tea ceremony followed by knotting their hands in a complex golden rope. The reception is visited by Merida’s estranged brothers, who finally accept she is not after their claim to the throne.

Emma dreams, or more appropriately, has nightmares of a dark castle that crumbles and rots. Something slithers and its claws click and scrape on the moss covered stones. A man calls out, his eyes burning behind brown irises, blood on his hands as he feeds a golden monstrosity. Willing herself to wake up, they look at her and she swears the scaled creature smiles, not a man but a beast, next to another pretender of a lost boy in the guise of a man and warlock. The warlock looks at her hungrily, a predatory gleam in his eyes as he surveys her body. The creature only glares. Together they are a golden eyed man who chases her in the recurrent night terror. Somehow she knows they are a portent of doom, but the dreams fade fast as she wakes up thrashing, soothed by Killian.

Smee's lap is a source of argument amongst the rowdy lot of toddlers, especially as he reads stories aloud. He always has a knack for getting a hold of rare items - and by rare items, he means sugary sweets that have been the bane of his old captain’s existence. Luckily, these days, the Captain is a dear friend and his Missus is in on Smee's trade. The Twins lead the pack at two years old, Emma and Killian no longer running ragged but instead, thriving in a new sort of chaos.

Killian still hooks yarn together, darning socks and making less lumpy blankets for anyone who needs them, and constantly making socks for little feet. With a little finesse, he’s able to make a few rudimentary stuffed toys, until suddenly he has made an assortment of soft toys. Esper is fond of a jellyfish the color of lilacs, while Ian chooses a shark, making roaring noises that rattle the timbers of the deck. Leo chooses a lion, his father beaming, Ruth clinging to a plush ginger kitten. Lucy chooses a frog with a giggle, Killian’s handiwork clear as the frog has a curled tongue in its mouth. It becomes a tradition for him to make something for new crew, and he frequently gets requests.

Jefferson and August finally decide to be more than just an occasional fling that happens more than just occasionally. They depart after the space becomes crowded and August expresses interest in traveling down many different rabbit holes. They are only seen on big holidays, bringing the most ridiculous gifts from their travels. Killian eventually bans any gift that makes ‘extravagant and unnecessary noise’ after a teapot given to Esper keeps singing off tune and nonsensical nursery songs at all hours.

After a particularly intense night of freeing slaves, Fa finds a small wide eyed girl clinging to her belts. Merida is immediately in love with the ginger haired child with stormy gray eyes, and no one bats an eye when suddenly, a young, wild haired girl is leading the pack of children across the decks. Not given a name, Fa coaxes her to choose one whenever she is ready, her quiet voice soothing as she stroked the girl's hair. Fa tells her stories, and Merida tells her tall tales and myths. She eventually chooses the name Rowan for its strength, just like her mothers.

Rory and Phillip send word from their kingdom that they have a daughter, naming her Rose. The crew attends the announcement ceremony, happily greeting their long time friends: Jasmine and Aladdin, now rulers of Agrabah; Tiana and Naveen, happily avoiding royalty in their restaurant; the vibrant ex-mermaid Ariel and an ecstatic Eric. Esperanza takes to Ariel, who despite being in what Emma refers to as 'the 200 months pregnant stage’, keeps her two and a half year daughter entertained. Ian, like his father or mother (depending on the day and who you asked), made trouble by slipping a tray of pastries under a skirted table, sharing his loot with his cousins, and inducing a glorious sugar crash.

In the brief moment of peace, Emma and Killian disappeared into one of the quieter roped off parts of the palace.

“We have to -” Killian's mouth met hers, demanding and hungry, intimacy not in short supply but not frequent either, always having to be carefully planned. Spontaneous escapes like this were rare if not unheard of. “Be quick,” Emma moaned as he nipped at her collar bone, hiking up her skirts.

“Bloody hell, I don't want to be quick,” he murmured against her throat, licking a trail to her ear. “I'd love to taste you, mark you -”

“For now.” She palmed him through his trousers and he hissed. “This. I need to feel you inside me.”

Another crash of their lips, her hands finding his belt as he pushed her against a wall, fingers pumping inside her wetness until he was freed. Moaning into his mouth as he thrust into her in a smooth motion, Killian grabbed her leg to pin her tightly between the wall and his body.

While it was fast and hard, it was also passionate. Emma clawed at him and they moaned together, savoring the heat that sparked every time they connected. They came together, each other's names sweet in their mouths. Sneaking back to their seats, only David narrowed his eyes with a shake of his head. Killian gave him a cocky nod and a wink.

Will and Belle had almost given up trying, but finally welcomed a tiny baby girl into the world. They named her Victoria, and Will finally got his comeuppance for teasing his fellows about crying when their children were born. He sobbed, holding his baby for the first time, her small hands making his look so large. Belle lay sick after they birth for several weeks, Will reading to her and rocking their babe as the crew took care of her, the day she wa finally able to come up on the sunshine of the deck with her small baby girl celebrated.

Whale gave in to Tink’s demands, accepting a steady stipend paid for him to stay on board to provide care for the children he delivered and their mothers. His bedside manner did not improve but deckside, Uncle Vic was a delight to as many children he could chase as they pretended he was a monster.

The Gilded Wing was alive with activity and noise from dawn until dusk, tired parents staying up when they had the energy to make conversation or nodding at each other in shifts as they groggily bounced or rocked children back to sleep in time with the ocean’s sway.

Emma found herself on deck more often than not. Esperanza was still a sickly child who needed the fresh night air. The Twins were almost three, talking non-stop and inquisitively taking in the world. It was exhausting. Luckily, Ian slept like the dead, his wild running throughout the day leading to a blessedly quiet wind down. Esper fought sleep, longing for starlight and the moon, Emma whispering constellations gently in her dark hair until Killian joined them on deck or she joined him in their bed.

Laying a finally sleeping Esper down in her bunk above Ian's, Emma made her way through the quiet corridor, slipping into bed and her waiting husband's arms.

“I love you,” he murmured in her ear, and when her answer didn't come in return, he cracked open an eye. “Love?”

“When was the last time I bled?” she whispered, facing away from him.

“I figured two weeks ago; you were moodier than usual and I let you be.” Killian replied drowsily. Her hand guided his to her stomach, a familiar swell against his palm jerking him awake. “Emma?”

“I didn't put the pieces together until a week ago. I should be just about four months along or so, maybe five. That’d be Rose's announcement ceremony. I haven't felt kicking yet -” Rolling her towards him, he captured her lips in his, grinning.

“You are a marvel, Swan. A bloody marvel. I love you so much. How do you feel? You're so small, I wouldn't have guessed...” Kissing her breathless, she pulled back laughing.

“Thank the Gods above and below, I believe there's only one this time. I'm fine. Tired, but fine.” Killian pressed a kiss to her forehead, blue eyes dancing as he looked down at her.

“Are you sure you can't make it two or three? David's lot is catching up to us, and if we get a nice lead -”

“Oh, shut up.” Smacking his chest and ignoring the salacious eyebrow wiggle he gives her, she doesn't ignore the steady beating of his heart as it lulls her to sleep.

Emma's second labor is easy, a chubby girl who is absolutely determined to prove her lungs work well. The name is long planned in advance; his mother’s name. Alice. She is fair haired and light eyed, a lighter shade of blue than Killian's own when they finally finish their change.

Liam's eyes, Killian tells Emma in the quiet still of the night. A reminder that even in all of this love, there are still scars and quiet pain they all share. Her arms around his neck is a soothing balm; each of them having a source of relief from old nightmares. Emma finally relents, and they spend some time in the small cabin on the cliffs he owns. She finds it’s not as terrible as she imagined and enjoys the quiet, or swinging on the creaky porch watching their children play. Not enough to give up the sea, or the ship, but enough to take reprieve when things get to be too much.

Killian reminds her that they’re old, but not that old. He reminds her frequently, until she tells him that she has suspicions that his reminders have ended in a well intentioned accident. Emma feels the movements earlier this time, hasn’t been as sick as her first pregnancy, but it’s still rough. Killian sits through a delivery that feels so much like when he almost lost her, so much strain and struggle, but Emma beams at him when it’s done.

“William?” she whispers softly, tucked into Killian’s side. He’s holding their last child and crying with her, arms wrapped around them both in the quiet before the rest of their children wake.

“William,” Killian agrees, pressing kisses on her sweaty forehead, making Emma chuckle. “Liam for short.” Her head lolls, exhaustion setting in although she fights it and the pain she's in with a grimace. When she shifts in the bed, Killian watches her with an ache in his chest as she swallows back whimpers and curses.

There’s no question about how close to leaving him she came again as her screams echo in his head, but Killian changes bloody sheets, and tells her after he’s sent their children off to play on deck that he loves her more than anything - That the thought of not having her sends him reeling. Pressing soft kisses to her pallid forehead, he cried into her hair, holding her tightly. Regina visits later with a potion that ends any worry for them, which thrills Killian even if it means his wild oats have ended their run.

Their children grow, and Piracy loses its appeal all together as raising them turns out to be much more terrifying and complicated than anticipated. Emma and Killian barely survive, the world around them changing rapidly, threats rising and danger around every corner.

Why wouldn’t it change, when someone finally let in a golden crocodile to their soul with open arms?

But that’s a story for a different time.
