So to explain lol:
I was a discord sever for my fav book Half Upon a Time(HUAT), and someone brought up the Jack x Phillip ship. I had never considered it before.
But as I thought about it, I realized how angsty it would be if these guys were gay for eachother.
So here we are!
This is just me rewriting certain scenes in chronological order but they’re gay
There will be two parts of this. One from Phillip’s POV, the other will be from Jacks.
And “_______” means it’s a new scene and there are flashbacks to book two in italics
So obvi spoilers for HUAT book 3, anyway LETS GOOO!
——-
Phillip shook violently as the poisoned apple got closer and closer to his lips. He couldn’t fight the Wicked Queen’s control, no matter how much May was screaming at him and Penelope to stop.
Just as Phillip’s teeth grazed the apple’s skin, there was a crash. Someone fell through the ceiling!
The Wicked Queen’s control faded, and Phillip dropped the apple.
Phillip watched as Jack bowed to the Wicked Queen and presented her with some sort of golden item.
“Jack?” May whispered.
Jack turned around to face them all. He held a stern expression.
This was it. Phillip had to die something, defeat Jack and die for May.
So why couldn’t he stop shaking? He slowly stood up
“I am prepared to face my death.” He tried to sound confident.
“Shut up.” Jack revealed his sword.
The sword of an Eye. The sword Phillip had begged him to give up, as this is what he feared...
“Jack,” Phillip had said as he swam up to Jack. “I’m really concerned-“
“I know,” Jack scoffed and turned away. “The sword is evil I know I know!”
“No Jack, I’m concerned for you!” Phillip held Jack’s shoulders, but Jack still didn’t meet his eyes. “The sword may be evil yes, but I fear its influence on you. The sword can change people. I don’t want to lose you-“
Jack removed Phillip’s hands from his shoulders and swam past him. “I’m fine, Phillip.”
Phillip watched as Jack swam away, dread in his chest.
As the Queen allowed them to battle, Phillip made jabs here and there at Jack.
“You betrayed us!” He would say.
What he meant was... You betrayed me
“You still think your the hero? Your work the the Wicked Queen!’
You were my hero
Jack kept turning invisible and revivable, easily beating Phillip in combat. Finally Phillip was thrown to the floor.
He looked up at Jack, who raised his sword. Jack looked at him with rage, ready to kill him.
And, Phillip should be ready for that! This was his destiny! To die for May! So why wasn't he being brave? Why was he cowering, eyes tearing up, absorbing terrified.
Maybe it because he didn’t want Jack to kill him.
The Jack who would tease him, bring Jaime down to earth. The Jack who saved him from Malicifant’s wrath. The Jack who he kissed awake when in the FairyHome lands...
As Phillip awoke, he looked around.
“wh-What happened?” He asked.
“Phillip! Welcome back!” May grunted. “Help me out!”
“what?”
Phillip looked around. The the curse’s territory, he could see Jack passed out. May was trying to catch him with a lasso and pull him back.
Phillip came over and helped pull May back. May’s arms would hit the spell and fall asleep, so she needed help pulling.
Finally, they were able to pull Jack out of the spell. However he remained asleep.
“H-How do we wake him up?” May asked.
“I-I’m not sure,” Phillip said. “The Pied Piper isn’t far though, perhaps he can help?”
“Maybe,” May said. “I’ll go find him. Stay with Jack! Try to wake him!”
Phillip looked down at Jack. Never had he looked so peaceful, not filled with stress and sass. He rubbed his thumb over Jack’s knuckles. His skin was rough. What Phillip wouldn’t do to pamper that skin and hold in in his arms...
“Jack,” Phillip whispered. “Please wake up. We need you, May needs you,” Phillip took a deep breath and kneeled over Jack. “I need you.”
Phillip’s lips softly kissed Jack. Jack’s eyes fluttered open and he saw Phillip above him, very close.
“Ph-Phillip!” Jack gasped.
“Jack!” Phillip cheered. “Your awake!”
Jack felt his lips her wet. “Phillip, did you-“
“Y-yes...I did. I am so sorry I just-“ Phillip didn’t notice how close Jack had gotten to his face...
“I’m back, no luck- Jack!” May smiled as she came back.
Phillip and Jack quickly separated, blushing.
This Jack was ready to kill him. This Jack...had tears welling up?
“Goodbye Phillip.”
Phillip closed his eyes tight as Jack brought the sword down.
Jack had sliced the chains off of Phillip and the rest.
“Go.” Jack demanded. “Get out of here!” He yelled as he handed May’s unconscious body over to Phillip.
“Jack no, come with us!” Phillip cried.
Jack and Phillip looked into eachothers eyes. Jack’s eyes screamed “I’m sorry”. But for what?
Jack back up, and launched his sword at the wicked Queen. The Wicked Queen caught stopped it in midair and smirked. She then turned it around and back at Jack.
Right though Jack’s chest.
Jack turned Back to Phillip, blood already dripping down his chin. Jack smiled weakly, as he fell to his knees.
Phillip stared in horror as Jack hit the floor, dead. He screamed. Did he scream “no!”? Did he scream “jack!”? Phillip didn’t know. He just screamed. So So So loud.
In agony, devastation.

Phillip could barely concentrate as he spun the tapestry.
He had betrayed May. He was a traitor. He had betrayed now both May and Jack...
Phillip was tackled by a young girl.
The others were confused.
“Who is this?” May asked.
“I’m Penelope!” The girl smiled. “I was asleep! But Phillip woke me up!”
“How?”
“My true love kissed me!” She smiled.
“I am not your true love!” Phillip shouted. “yes I kissed you but-“
Phillip stopped. He looked at Jack’s expression. He was horrifyingly betrayed. He clenched his fists as he stomped away.
“Jack wait!” Phillip went after him.
“Jack please let me explain-“
“What is there to explain Phillip?!” Jack yelled. “You..You kissed another girl!!”
“You don’t understand, she technically my betrothed. Only I could break-“
“And thats right! Your engaged!” Jack huffed, tears streaming down. “Why...Why did I think I was anything special?!”
“Jack you are so special to me-“
“Maybe you’re the traitor Phillip. You seem good at betrayal!” Jack yelled.
And Jack. Oh god Jack was dead! The man he’d loved...was dead. Phillip began to sniffle a bit.
“You catching a cold Prince?” Jack’s Father asked, chuckling.
“No, I’m not.” Phillip chuckled back. “You know. For the longest time I told myself If I ever met you I would kill you.”
“Oh? And now?”
“...Now I would’ve just asked you one question.”
“And what was that?”
“...Would you have given me your blessing to marry Jack?”
Jack’s father blanked. Of all the questions he probably wasn’t expecting that one. He looked down, and smiled softly. “Jack can get himself into trouble, and he’s full of sass and no self preservation. You sure you would’ve wanted to marry that?”
“Without a doubt.”
“Well, it’s not my blessing you would have to get. Its Jill’s.”
Phillip laughed a bit. “Well then, I guess I won’t be marrying Jack then. Not if I wanted to keep my fingers.”
_________________
Phillip hopped off the dragon as he rushed into the remains of the Wicked Queen’s castle. He had to get to May, apologize and-
It was him. He was leaning on Jill’s shoulder, slightly beaten. But he was alive.
Jack was alive.
JACK WAS ALIVE!
The two made eye contact, eyes both shining with shock and relief. Jack lifted himself off Jill.
“Ph-Phillip I-“ Jack was cut off.
Because Phillip ran up to him at almost the speed of an Eye and smashed his lips against Jack’s. he held Jack’s face in his hands, and kissed him SO HARD. he never wanted to let go.
Jack easily kissed back, moaning slightly.
Finally they let go.
“Your alive,” Phillip gasped.
“No, really?” Jack chuckled. “I had no idea.”
_______________
The words crashed down on Phillip.
Jack was a Prince. Jack was a royal born Prince.
And one of the only reasons Phillip had to marry Penelope was because of royal hiarchey.
“I-I’m a Prince...” Jack repeated Snow White. “Thats crazy-“
Phillip again rushed up to Jack and got on one knee.
“Phillip?!” Jack gasped as Phillip took his hand,
“Marry me.” Phillip said.
“What?”
“Marry me. I don’t have a ring to give you but marry me.”
Jack was in total shock.
“Hey, you need my blessing!” Jill butted in.
Jack pushed her away harshly.
Jack nodded violently, at a loss for words. He could feel tears that had been waiting to fall for a year finally fall.
“Y-yeah...yeah!” Jack said.
“You’ll marry me?” Phillip looked hopeful.
“Yes! Yes you absolute royal Dumbass yes!!”
THE END
