A look into Rumple's mentality and reasoning in season four up till the Apprentice

Spoilers for the S3 Finale. AU. Rumple doesn't let Emma go through the portal to go back home. Trapped in the Enchanted Forest while Rumple tries to figure out how to save Bae, Emma has to keep from interfering too much and get back home or she faces spending 28 years under the curse.

AU: Cora chose Rumple instead of being a queen and told him about Zelena. And now, along with Regina (who he's fathered in this universe) the four set out to set this curse that'll get Baelfire back, no matter who they have to manipulate and take from. What happens if Regina cast the curse out of family duty rather than anger and revenge?

Sequel to "Honor thy Father" Now together at last, the Charming, the 'Stiltskin, and the March families (Emma, Jefferson and their children both biological and adopted) try to navigate the complications of each other's relationships while facing the growing threat of Pan. Set five months after Honor thy Father's ending and onward.
