Or Sleep with the Fishes (complete, 30 chapters) by ListerOfTardis
Author’s Summary: After centuries of poor treatment of Smee, Killian is determined to make amends. But the process is more difficult and painful than he originally expects. Takes place after Season 6, with plenty of flashbacks to pre-Curse Hook and crew.
My Comments: This is sooooooooooooooo good, guys. Like, seriously. I love the characterization of freaking everybody, the deeper exploration of Smee and Hook’s relationship, the flashbacks of both Hook’s cruelty and his loyalty to his crew, Paaaaaaaan and his taunting and using of Hook... Oh my goodness. AND THE WHUMP. All of this great storytelling is laced with absolutely delightful whump - lots of swashbuckling injuries and painful recuperation from the loss of his hand in the flashbacks - and a luxuriously long recovery, complete with hospital visits and plenty of setbacks and complications in the present. And then there’s even a villainous wizard and present day hijinks and adventures and horribly inventive ways to torture our favorite pirate and... Whew! Definitely give it a read, you will not regret it! :D
Please Note: Sexual activity (with dubious or non-existent consent on Killian’s part) between Pan and Hook is hinted at in this story, without ever being explicitly stated or described in any kind of detail.
