Summary
Rumplestiltskin had returned.
The trigger had been elegant. Emma Swan. A name spoken carelessly, like a stone dropped into still water. He had designed it that way, because of course he had. Insurance meant to wake him when hope itself walked back into his carefully constructed nightmare.
And now here he was. Awake. Fully, painfully awake.
Three hundred years of memory slammed into a life that had been lived for twenty-eight years as a crippled pawnbroker with a sharp tongue and a fondness for expensive suits. Three hundred years of blood, bargains, screaming villagers, iron chains, magic humming beneath skin like a second pulse.
And a husband.
*I just wanted to see what would have happened, if Regina out of pure irritation and desire somehow make Rumplestiltskin's life under curse more miserable had placed him in the marriage with a man, but it completely backfired. During the years the curse lasted Gold actually fell in love and now is facing the fact that the curse he designed to break, might take that love with it.*
