Captain Charming

Captain Charming is the slash ship between David Nolan and Killian Jones from the Once Upon A Time fandom.

Canon
The relationship between the two started out hostile, David unable to trust Killian, but as time went on, the two would learn to get along.

Season 2
The two first met when David had to stop Mr. Gold from hurting Hook more than he already was. Hook is placed in the hospital, and is eventually released.

TINY

David and Mary Margaret take Killian out of the hospital and to the docks. On the way there, Killain flirts with Mary Margaret, and David threatens him. He demands that Killian tell them where the Jolly Rodger is. Killian says that looking for Corra there is useless, but David says that they might be able to find clues to where she is, and pushes Killian forward. He reveals that the ship is right in front of them but invisible and they climb aboard. As they walk around the ship, David asks KIllian about Corra’s plans, but Killian only knows that she’s going to use a captured giant to get revenge of some kind.

David doesn’t believe that Killian knows nothing. Killian tells David that his wife should torture it out of him, since it would be more fun, but David pushes him against the sail to shut him up. Killian hands over the key to the giants cage, and tells them to ask him. While they’re distracted by the giant, Killian escapes.

Fanon
Starting out as more of "crack" pairing, the ship eventually began to be shipped more seriously. Fans enjoyed the development of their relationship from antagonistic to best friends. Some saw a lot of chemistry between the two and started to ship it because of that. Later seasons fueled the ship some more, although it never reached the heights of other OUAT ships as both Charming and Hook were in Canon relationships that were popular in the fandom. It is by far one of the most popular slash ships in the fandom, given that most of the fandom is compromised of het and femslash ships.

On AO3, Captain Charming is the sixth most written ship for Hook and the third most written for Charming. There are currently 138 slash fics, and 174 gen fics.
