Author's Note/Prologue

Coward. Rumplestiltskin. Dark One. Beast. Mr. Gold. Lost.
You never thought that Rumplestiltskin - or his alias, Mr. Gold - could be anything like the man you came to know him as. Even at his low points, he proved that his villainous past had some justice. Through fire and rain, there was a silent contract that glued you to him - and this time, it wasn't written on paper. Compassion fueled him. Regret drove him. You saved him.
