Hello everyone!
So, I'm back! I want to give an apology for the stories I haven't finished, I had some family things happen and my muse left for a while, but it returned and I'm ready to write, write, write! And there are too few Gold Swan stories out there for my liking..but I love the complicated relationships and therefore Gold Swan is a big love of mine, though it love Hook too...but just...well, for myself ;)
I own nothing of Once Upon a Time, sadly!
It was a normal day in Storybrook...well as normal as any day is in a world where fairy tales are far from fiction. Leroy is hitting the sauce too hard, Ruby is a little more agitated than usual because the moon is full tonight, and Emma has to go search Gold's shop for a Father's Day gift for her father who is the same age as her who is also Prince Charming..THE Prince Charming..like I said: Normal.
Thankfully the fairy tale characters lived for about twenty-eight years in modern times, so the concept of Father's Day was not lost on the town, and being a town full of love and happy endings of course Father's Day and other holidays such as that are all the rave in the little Maine town Emma somewhat calls home.
Now for Gold's shop, that's the only place to find treasures from the Enchanted Forest, that's the only place Emma could really imagine to find anything to her fathers liking, of course he would enjoy some modern trinkets, but his heart still lies in his home. As Emma walked in the front door of Mr. Gold's shop she heard the light as air tinkle of the bell overhead and really took in what the store has to offer. She usually just wanted to get in and out, but she never really looked around. What a shame some things she saw laying around brought back foggy memories of Disney movies, she see a compass, a fork, even a Chrystal that almost looks like a shard of ice.
"Miss Swan, to what do I owe the pleasure?" The accented voice startled her out of her initial perusal and she glanced at the man who made the inquiry, Mr. Gold, also known as Rumpelstiltskin, is the man the whole town fears and the man who has more power than Emma would ever know. Though he doesn't scare her in his immaculate suits, he Is just a power hungry store owner her eyes.
"Father's Day, the fairy tale world seems to find it the best thing since sliced bread, so whatcha got Gold? And remember this is for Charming."
Gold took a moment and thought about it with a little smirk, of course the famous deal maker would want something other than money for this, how annoying. "Well I do believe I have a few things that were once his that he may have thought he lost for good, come to the counter, let's see." With that he turned and pulled a little tray out of the case behind him that had small pieces of jewelry, a scroll, and many small vials of the most interesting liquid. As Emma stepped up to the counter he looked through the contents and pulled out a simple leather necklace with a beat up silver ring on it, "This, my dear is Charming's mothers ring, a simple band given to him on his departure from her. I was keeping it in case he ever came looking, a favor from a Charming is a powerful thing, though the same could be true for the savior. What do you say dearie, a favor for a ring?"
Emma sat pondering, 'I shouldn't even be thinking about this, but the fact that he had something so powerful and meaningful to David is almost enough to sway my decision. If I had just a piece of Mary Margaret or David I would have survived a little bit better in my life away from my true family. But Gold's deals are dangerous things.' That did it for her "Only if the deal doesn't have me harming myself or my friends, or family, mentally or physically..understood?" She kept listing people to not be caught in a loophole, though she was sure he could find one if he so wanted.
"I believe I could concede you that Miss Swan, so do we have a deal?" Rumple held out his hand and waited for her to make it final with a small grin on his face.
Emma drummed her hands on the table for a moment more before shooting her hand up quickly before she changed her mind, "Deal" with that she shook his hand and as she brought her hand back down to the countertop she knocked a vial that had no top and a crack down the side, spilling the smooth pink liquid on both her and Rumple's hands. With a shriek, because who knows what will happen next in fairy tale world when a mysterious potion is spilled, she jumped back and looked to Gold with a fearful expression, "What was that!? What did I spill? Are we going to be frogs?"
Gold's murderous expression calmed a bit at her lack of knowledge but he still knew exactly what the potion was for and they were now in an awful predicament. He saved this potion for his enemies. He looked at Emma, thankfully the effects hadn't started, but they would soon with the amount of potion absorbed by the both of them, this is truly an awful day. "You have done us in now Emma. This tray is where I keep thinks I don't want the whole town to see, for a reason, the potion that was just spilled is more or less a lust potion."
"What do you mean!? Like a love potion, but I don't love you I could never! I thought magic had limits!" Emma was panicking a great deal and couldn't seem to grasp the concept of what was happening to her.
"Not love, Emma that could not be created with a potion, no, a lust potion, it comes in handy when I want to get the right someone in trouble. But the effects will be starting soon, your and my libido will not know what hit them soon, so I suggest you depart and hopefully this will be durable to pass. Here." He handed Emma the necklace and she grabbed it careful not to touch him, determined not to be worried, because it's Gold of all people, how hard could it be to ignore him?
Okay. That is the first chapter, it is short, I was actually going to do a oneshot, but there were too many ideas, so now it is going to be a series! Eventual M!
But if you liked this story please let me know, I want to find all the Golden Swans that still exist out there!
