One possible plot could be that Killian is sent to find teen Emma by some magical force. He finds her and at first, she is very distrustful of him. But as time passes, they start to understand each other. Killian tells her stories about her future self (without giving away too much) and helps her gain confidence. This fanfiction could explore their relationship in a new light, different from their relationship when she is an adult. It could also show how Killian's presence in teen Emma's life could shape her into the person she becomes as an adult in the show.
Well, perhaps Killian could be a stranger who stumbles upon baby Emma. He might be instantly charmed by her innocence. Maybe he has some sort of premonition that she will grow up to be an important person in his life. He could then decide to protect her from any harm in the area, starting a connection that would later develop into a more complex relationship as Emma grows up.
Obviously, Killian and baby Emma are the main characters. Killian could be a character with a mysterious past, and his encounter with baby Emma might be a turning point in his life. Baby Emma, being so young, represents potential and new beginnings. The story might focus on how Killian's actions towards the baby shape both their futures, and we could expect other secondary characters to interact with them as the story progresses.
One common theme is the discovery of a new connection. Killian and young Emma are from different backgrounds, and when they meet, they start to find things in common or are intrigued by each other's differences.
One great 'killian meets young emma fanfiction' is 'A Chance Encounter'. It beautifully portrays their first meeting with vivid descriptions. The story focuses on how Killian is immediately intrigued by young Emma's spirit.
Well, there are quite a few amazing ones. 'The Captain and the Savior' is a popular choice. It delves deep into their characters and how they complement each other. 'In Killian's Arms' focuses on the more tender side of their relationship. 'Emma's True Love' also stands out as it shows their journey from distrust to deep love in a detailed manner.
One idea could be that Killian is on a quest and stumbles upon a young Emma in a magical forest. He initially mistakes her for someone else but soon realizes her potential. Another could be a time - travel scenario where Killian goes back in time and meets a young Emma, and he has to protect her from a dark force without changing the future too much. And perhaps a story where young Emma is lost in a different realm and Killian is the one who finds her and they form an unlikely bond.
