In some fanfictions, Killian Jones might be involved in a time - travel scenario. For example, he could accidentally be sent back to a time before he became Captain Hook. He then has to deal with his former self, trying to avoid changing the future while also coming to terms with who he used to be. It could be a really interesting exploration of his character growth.
One great one to start with could be 'A Pirate's Heart'. It really delves into the relationship between Killian Jones and the reader in a very sweet and adventurous way. It starts with an interesting encounter between the two characters and gradually builds their relationship as the story progresses.
One plotline could be that the OC is a mermaid. Killian Jones, being a sailor, has always been intrigued by the legends of mermaids. When he encounters this OC mermaid, she is in danger from a sea - witch. He decides to help her, and in the process, they form a bond. Their relationship could develop as they explore different underwater and on - land adventures together.
There's one where the reader is a time - traveler and accidentally gets stuck in the 'Once Upon a Time' world and meets Killian Jones. They have to work together to find a way for the reader to get back home while falling in love along the way.
One great story could be 'The Enchanted Bond' where Merlin uses his magic to save Killian from a dark curse. It delves deep into their relationship as they face various challenges together in a magical realm.
I would recommend 'The First Meeting'. It's a short and sweet story that gives a good introduction to how Merlin and Killian could meet in an alternate universe. It has simple language and a clear plot.
Love and romance are also very common. The OC and Killian usually end up in a romantic relationship. Writers explore different aspects of their love, like the initial attraction, the challenges they face, and how they overcome them. It can range from a slow - burn romance to a more immediate connection.
A common theme is redemption. Since Killian Jones has a complex past, many fanfictions use an OC to be a part of his journey towards redemption. For example, the OC might be the one who believes in him when no one else does.
One common theme is self - discovery. In many Killian Jones aromantic fan fictions, he is on a journey to find out who he is outside of a romantic relationship. Another theme is strong friendships. Since there's no romantic love, the focus shifts to the bonds he forms with his friends.
Another interesting Killian Jones aromantic fan fiction is 'The Aromantic Killian'. This piece of work shows Killian's day - to - day life where he is indifferent to romantic love. He is more interested in his duties and his loyalty to his friends. The story shows how he can be a strong and independent character without relying on a romantic partner for emotional support or motivation.
