They got together at the end of S3 because Hook displayed love for Emma multiple times the whole season. Both him and Regina rebounded (Plus Gold at the end of the first half) and recovered even with their villainous pasts. Regina rebounded the most, without her mother in the way. I guess they both kind of gave up their revenge (Or at least Hook did) in 2.20, when he made a statement about nothing to look forward to afterwards. Which is why he stopped trying to kill Gold and started pursuing Emma, and why Regina started focusing more on Henry than her hatred for the Charmings. However her rebound might because Emma brought Marian back. As for CaptainSwan, there will probably be moments where there are choices, where Emma and Hook don't agree on. That will probably be part of their relationship struggles. Like in many shows, their are cases, or issues, couples have to work on. Like on Grey's Anatomy when Cristina and Owen got married at the beginning of S7 but the peak end, they fought about having kids. A key thing about relationships. However CaptainSwan isn't at that point so first they need to get through whether it will work in the long run or if it is a doomed romance. Same with OutlawQueen.
