Something I have tried to keep hidden about myself is that I am a closet romantic. Deep down underneath all of my bourbon swigging swagger and penchant for post-apocalyptic thrillers is a girl who loves a good romance. As much as I try to hide that part of myself it’s there and today is no exception. The fanfiction I have chosen for today is a very sweet once shot of the first kiss between Emma and Neal from Once Upon a Time.

I am, and always shall be, Team Neal. My apologies to the Hook fangirls out there, but I always thought Neal was superior. This has nothing to do with the fact that the actor Michael Raymond-James can do a Cajon accent and I kind of pretend that he can be Gambit… hehe… wait… what was I talking about? Oh yes, the fanfiction. This week’s Awesome Fanfic Monday goes to Counting the Stars by mamaXunicorn of Fanfiction.net.
