Summary
A second segment in “Rumplestiltskin’s Final Battle,” a longer story I’m developing, in which Rumple is in a fairy-run nursing home, confined to a wheelchair and bound to immortality by his curse. It’s the year 2117, and with his family and friends long gone, Rumple longs to be released from his burdens, but it will take the help of a young fairy to win his final battle with the Darkness.
Here, Gold relives some life-shaping events from his past: a graduation, a vacation to the most remote island in the world, and a major illness.

Summary
"You asked what it's like to be loved and loving," Gold summarizes, then his tone sharpens. "How much reality do you want?"
The question catches me off-guard and I stammer.
"I can show you just the nice parts that will reinforce your fantasy. Or I can show you the full range of the experience: fascination, bewilderment and confusion, yearning and craving, lust and ecstasy, pride and protectiveness, insult and damage, rejection, abandonment, loss."
