Description
I will admit this was a story I had mixed feelings over growing up because I always sympathized with Rumpelstiltskin and thought everyone around him were selfish jerks. Although I did have some sympathy over the Miller's Daughter until she backed out of her deal. Very much looking forward to seeing this on Sunday and despite being a Rumbeller, I like Cora and Rumple together; we will get to see a side of him during his dark one stage that shows the extent of how despicable he was or that he might have some extent of a heart prior to Skin Deep.Related content

It was but it did seem a bit ridiculous on how the writers and the show tried to paint it as this great tragic love story where Rumpelstiltskin was willing to give up his search for Bae to have a life with Cora. In which we later find about her, you would think he might have picked up on the kind of person she was.

i think Rumple was just lonely and horney and Cora is just a evil bitch who wants power!Β

The poor bastard needs to know about the harem girls to have solved that problem

Cora and Rumple are very interesting together, but it was certainly not true love. pretty much just lust for the power they brought each other. great edit! it looks awesome!

Not sure if it was suppose to be portrayed as true love on either side but you can tell even in some sloppy handling that whatever Rumpel felt for Cora was stronger than lust. The way the writing was portraying between them and from some of Robert Carlyle's expressions during their scenes suggested Rumpelstiltskin deeply regretted sending Cora on this dark path because he could have had a second chance for a family which was why he asked her to elope with him. With Cora I have heard she did love him, it wasn't enough to cut her heart and it seemed as though she never regretted her decision whereas in Skin Deep you can see how messed up Rumpelstiltskin became affected at realizing the kiss worked and it could have been Cora all over again. Thank you so much that I am glad you like this, I remember first post it up before the episode when the whole world was freaking out over the snippets we got regarding these two.Β

Yes, perhaps it was stronger than simply lust, but it was definitely more physically driven then his relationship with Belle (at least I think so

BRAIN BLEACH is what I have to say after that episode. And yet, I know I shall never forget it. The way I see it, it was more of a one sided relationship, and that Rumpelstiltskin didn't love Cora as much as the Dark One's spirit did. It was her dangerous ambition, and general "I'm better than everyone else." attitude, that drew the Dark One to her. 
Still, it was hard to tell who was in power between the two of them. With Regina and Rumpel, it's easy as he's on a different level than her, both in experience and ability, but with Cora...

The scary thing was from the interpretation I got, the power derived from Cora rather than Rumpel. He might have saw her in the future but stated to Henry in Manhattan, the future is not given a clear view so his judgment was clouded to think the brunette with the gold gown would be his love but assumed it was going to be Cora because she saw drawn to him rather than seeing the man he had been once.

Though I am a hardcore Rumbeller, I have to say that I loved these two! They had amazing chemistry and their backstory was to die for!

Thank you sweetie, I had to hear all my friends act like the world was coming to an end.GoldenHeart was an interesting take, at the end they would have been happy for a short time together where Rumpel might have been worse off than Skin Deep portrayed him.

It was my pleasure, my dear. 
I honestly think Rumple could have been truly happy if Cora had listened to her heart. But it just shows that Power and Magic can be a horrible corrupter. I just hope that Rum can find happiness with Belle.

Not the first time I've seen the "Miller's Daughter and Rumpelstiltskin in love" plot twist, but they played it up rather well, didn't they?
π: 0 β©: 1
No it's not the first time that the Rumpelstiltskin/Miller's Daughter twist has been made. But I think it was the best acted and most interesting one I've ever seen. With Robert Carlyle taking the reigns with Rumple, I was spellbound.

Now, you may, or may not, remember me saying I AM NOT a member of Rumpel's fangirl harem. Well... 
π: 0 β©: 1
I do remember. You've always been more of a friend to our dear imp. 
But I can see how he had that affect on you. All of us fangirls were either screaming or drooling.

Be still my "stuck firmly in the friendship zone" Dearie heart. That episode... it makes me debate whether waiting to find a love interest in real life, to use as inspiration for Morgana's love interest, is a wise thing. All she wants is someone who loves her for herself, not her powers, her connections with the Dark One, or her body. Nor does she want someone who hates her for any of the aforementioned reasons.
Hmm... with FrankenWolf, RumBelle, and WarriorRose (my name for the MulanxAurora shipping), it wouldn't be surprising for her to have a love interest from another fairytale/mythology cycle. I was thinking of having her fall for Loki, the Norse god of mischief who, for some odd reason, was exiled to Midgard, Storybrooke to be exact, in the form of a black kitten, regaining his true form and powers only on the full and new moons of each month. But, that sounds too predictable.

Hahahah! 
And as for Morgana. . . Sometimes the obvious route is the best one. And unless some other character besides Loki strikes your brain with lightning, I would stick to them as a couple somewhere down the road.

I guess, but it's done so many times before. Loki falling in love with a girl on Midgard, and pairing him with Merlin's version of Morgana Pendragon/le Fay on YouTube ad nauseum I mean.
I'm at a loss for what to do next for fan fiction/poetry.

Well . . . Hmmm . . .

Grell's out of the question. 1. He's gay, and 2. His true love is Sebastian Michaelis/William T. Spears (I say either/or because I hate Sebastian because he beats up Grell so badly, but then again, so does Will. Sebastian already has Ciel besides, so Will's my backup in case that doesn't work out.)

I love Grell, but no, I don't think he would work. XD Though I have mixed the Black Butler universe with my Peter Pan story (Not OUAT related.) And so far it has worked. . . .
I found you a list of fairy tales that have many stories that aren't mentioned in OUAT. You might have to do some digging, but you'll mostly be able to find something.
Here's the link: [link]

Thanks for the effort, but I think I'll find something on my own. I'll probably choose an Irish name, or perhaps Persian. I am also fond of French names for men.

I'm sorry that I wasn't more helpful, dearie.

NO. NO. NO. Lol. At least you know he doesn't truly love her, otherwise he would've turned back into a normal man.

Yuck! I know right? And knowing how they'll come to odds with each other in the decades to come... that makes it all the more disgusting to watch. Not to mention my die-hard Dearie heart was enraged when Cora backed out of their deal. Regina was the chosen child and, whether she was Rumpel's blood child or not, Cora had promised her.

Well, whatever the case, I was still screaming with delight when she died. Haha.

Oh I know that, I am shocked at those who honestly believe Cora was his true love never Belle. Seen The Outsider more times than I count to know that Belle is his true love not Cora and they were in the past

i serious don't know how i feel about this pairing........

In my opinion, I don't love it. It just simply exists to prove a theory I formed long ago: all the women whom the Dark One falls in love with are destined for horrible tragedy!
