    Summary

    "Why do you want me to kill you?" Rumplestiltskin asks him, this Dark One of myth and nightmare.
    "You want power, and I have it to give," Zoso hisses. "Seems a worthwhile bargain."
    "But not one I want to make," Rumplestiltskin decides, and his hand with the dagger that weighs a thousand pounds drops back to his side.

    (Rumplestiltskin controls rather than kills, Bae negotiates rather than runs, Cora delegates rather than confronts, Regina cooperates rather than rebels, and still the curse is cast, the Savior comes, the boy believes, and worlds are torn apart by a father's love. How much really would change if one decision was altered?)

    Bookmark Notes:

    Wow, this was amazing! It's crazy how low the amount of bookmarks this one has and the fact that this isn't your most bookmarked work! I guess the OUAT fandom is more shipping focused or more focused on Emma/Regina. But Emma actually has quite a large role in this story just like in OUAT. This is quite Rumple-focused, but he is my favourite character so I loved it and many many characters have their own points-of-view.

    Another thing that might scare people from reading this is that Rumple is not the Dark one, but this Rumple has plenty of magic and darkness and is very similar to the show! This story is beautifully written and there is lots of plot, romance, action and drama! A lot of people should read this one, because this became one of my OUAT favorites! <3 Another of my OUAT favorites is Freeze on the Stones which is a little similar to this one, but plenty different also: https://archiveofourown.org/works/2245713/chapters/4927686

    Genuinely a fantastic work! The author wrote the characters very well; even with the changes to the canon, everything felt consistent! Belle especially stood out because she got some pre-returned-memories povs. Also the ideas are just really fun. Liked the ending a lot.
