So the dark curse will end up being cast because Bae is dithering so everyone continues to think that he is in the land without magic and the apprentice is a self-righteous git. Bae might be centuries old, but he never developed past teen angst. Even on the show he really was just a manchild. The real question is: why did no one ever try to locate Bae before they went to the land without magic? Centuries went by, there was no reason to believe or hope Bae would be alive in that world. Rumplestiltskin would have needed to write some kind of locator into the dark curse to hope to find Bae in Bae's lifetime.

Regina got over Daniel's murder quickly.

I can't see Regina humoring Zelena. It's not like she'd help bring Daniel back and I'd think Regina would be more interested in that than her mother. Completely ignoring the whole Zelena is the enemy trying to kill everyone.

Tiger Lily is a crap ex-fairy if she has no idea how to contact Fiona or find out where she lives. Also, I don't understand why Fiona wouldn't have been able to make a new curse if she was able to create the original. Why would they waste their time on trying to rewrite what Blue did, if Fiona is capable of creating a curse in the time it took her to learn of a prophecy and give birth?

I love this fic! Took me a few days but it was worth it! I am sad to see there wasn't another chapter. I get that stuff happens and want to thank you for what you have shared. Its brilliant!

I love the potrayals of each character and how little changes can have ripple effects to bigger ones while some things stay the same. You have written and plotted this out beautifully.

I. Never really read about Rumples mom and i stopped watch ouat on season 2(sorry!) But i knew of her and Pan and I had to Google to make sure he killed Pan and Fiona and was so surprised that he killed both of his parents.(i knew he killed them individually but i never really thought of them as i know) i really love this fic! I really want someone to invite rumbel or Belle to a ball and them bringing each other(weather rumple is glamored or not doesn't matter the shock factor would be hilarious!).

Jefferson and grace ! Cute bannter with the couple!

I love the citizans under the Dark Castle ! They are hilarious and rational!(i wonder if rumple will find out what they think of him...Lol! Belle will probably find out before !)

Graham's fate was sad! Yay for choices and Snow white paying karma back!

Well this will be an interesting meeting between grandmother and grandson, possibly grandfather as well. I wonder if they will find out.

Just started reading a week ago. Love this story! I really hope you continue it sometime, even though it has been almost a year now... I can be patient though. Good stories are worth waiting for. I rarely review, but I do on the fics that blow me away. I shall be waiting anxiously for the next update! :)

Oh my gosh you have to finish this. I'll just say this, I've read dozens of fics only to realise they were incomplete but I've never made an account so I could message the author. It's that good all of your stories are! Please don't get discouraged with this piece.

Really interesting reading how many things could've changed with Fiona having found Rumble so much sooner!

I truly hope this fic gets finished. It’s absolutely amazing!

No need to apologize, life happens. I was so happy when I saw the new chapter. Awesome writing as always, can't wait for the next one :)!

Real life gets in the way sometimes. You don't have to apologize. I loved Fiona shocking the Apprentice! I also loved Tiger Lily's confrontation with Blue. I liked Bae's reaction to learning his father was the savior but I hope they find out soon that Bae is here in the Enchanted Forest! I really enjoyed this chapter! You made my day with it!

I can't wait for the next chapter!
