[legacy-of-the-dark-one]

OK so as we know their are multiple realms, Wish-realm, and all the others.

Just take a minute to image that for some reason a version of Baefire who took the dark one dagger instead of his father shows up in Storybooke. The emotional damage. On everyone's side.

This post will be long... you have been warned. Proceed with your own caution.

Maybe Bae lost his dad when rumple tried to take Bae to a land without magic, maybe Dark one Bae killed his father and now that their is a Dark One version of his dad he tries to kill that one too. Or he is super-hyped about doing evil together with his dark one father.

I do imagine that Bae also knows Belle because in his universe he also... traded? bought? her. And she became a mother figure to her and now he is in this strange town, with his dead Dark one father and his mother figure being together. Oh and his duplicate had a son, with the Savior, oh and said son is adopted by the evil queen who he hates.

Imagine telling Emma that a different version of the father of her child, now has shown up and he is the Dark One, oh and also looks like 14 but is like 300.

Would he care for Henry? Would he try to parent Henry? Would they be like brothers? I Imagine Bae taking one look at Henry and being like... You are so weak. I will teach you magic, this isn't love I just dont want you to be a burden, not that some idiot thinks he can just kidnap you to get to me. I see Bae caring for this strange kid.

let me just write down my thoughts on every season.

1S Idk really, I think everything is a good option for him, just because he will hate whatever situation he ends up being in. If thats being the kid of anyone, may it be David, Mary Margret, Regina, actually, I see him either being Archie's kid, or him being Rubies younger brother.

Whatever you do. Never forget, that Gold will suffer the ultimate emotional damage. Because he sees his Bae, always out of reach. Gold definitely would be trying to reach out to Bae and and it would be weird every time.

And than, at the end of S1 Gold would kiddnap Bae to be with him and Belle when the curse breaks only for the curse to break and Bae immideatly being like, WTF, you are dead. And gold just being confused. I see Gold being heartbroken after he realizes that the kid he thought for months which was his, is, but is a different version form another realm. And hates him with passion. Oh and also is the Dark One of his realm. upps.

S2 kill Regina (because of the you kidnapped my pseudo mother, and my version of you probably did the same in my realm but i cant get her rn so I will just slaughter you.) kill Cora not because of a romantic past (eternal 14 year old), but definitely something, being mad at gold, having an arc with Henry, passive aggressively hating the Charmings who are trying to parent him. (HE IS 300 he is very mature...) I see him going with to New York to meet his other version and than being like. OH NO THE FAMILY TREE! And immiditly establishing that he is older than Neal. I cant get over how much i Love the hypothetical relationship between the 2 Baefires. I just see dark Bae judging Neal for being magic-less and weak while Neal pities Dark Bae for being the Dark one.

S3 I am conflicted on making this version of Bae friends with his version of peter pan because just doenst know and Bae is an immortal kid. But regardless Pan kidnapped his... halfson? So off to kill the immortal trickster devil he goes.

S3b... so I see Regina kinda try to parent him in S3 and onward. Look he is an eternal 14 year old hanging out with her son, I just see Regina's motherly instincts kicking in without her really meaning too. I see Bae just not realizing that that is what she is doing. I also see him Trying to kill zelena after the... Neal business and zelena commanding rumple to kill Dark Bae.

S4a I see him not caring for the frozen arc. Just really not being interested. He and Henry have their own solo arc in this one, where Bae and Henry search for the author and Bae teaches Henry some more magic. Just bonding about their weird bond.

S4b I see him joining the Villain side. Only for Gold to have Isac make Bae either Neal. Just same person for gold. Or have Dark Bae be Neals twin. in both cases he would hate it once he wakes up because of course Henry would go to him. Dark Bae probably would try to kill gold again for this.

S5a. Also what does this mean for the entire Excalibur business?! Are baes dagger and the sword just not compatible because different versions or can you just forge idk mega Excalibur now.

Is he fighting Dark one Emma during the Dark swan arc because she wants to destroy all Darkness which is his power. At the Mention of S5 does he also loose his power? Or do we see him still having his powers and toying with his powerless father. Or is he actually supporting him?

Imagine Merlin finding out.

I do also see Dark Bae trying to form a rift between Gold and Belle, because thats his mum. And he doesn't want Gold to have nice things.

S5B, just the normal Season but with him in it. I dont really have anything else here. Other than him being on Belles side and trying to kill Gold again to protect Belle.

S6 is and its just about Dark Bae trying to protect Belle and baby Gideon form his dad. Who he hates. And when Gideon gets taken by the Dark Fairy Bae is like, "Bitch, its on time for war" and Fiona just being extetic about having another perfect DARK Grandchild.

S7 I do see him ending up with Rumple and Belle traveling together, and than living together. I do see him being their when Belle dies, just really really sad and angry. And probably also fully reverting back into evil scaly lizard. Just being his dark one self. I do see him kidnap children to not be alone anymore only for Henry to find him like that in the enchanted forest. I do see Bae and Henry making a Deal saying that if Bae lets all the boys go Henry promises that Bae can always be with him by his side. And weird relationship goes on. Where Henry now parents his half-father who is a little insane.

And honestly, I just see him being in a foster situation with Henry. Just Henry taking care of the alternative version of his dad. Who is 14 and has been for 300 years.

Also Dark Bae and Alice? Just the best neurodivergent friends ever. Not in a romantic way. This version of Bae is 100% acearo.

I dont see him dying. I do see him either living alone at Golds old house and working in the pawnshop or him moving in with Regina.

All over I must say this is a very fun idea. And I would totally read a 100k fic off this. If you want to know more about this idea or anything inperticlar. My ask box is always open.

@baefire sent a raven : “do you mind? i’m brooding.”

' yes, i can see that. '

helaena can't help the way her lips curve up into a smile, amusement glimmering in her eyes, even as she keeps her head lowered to conceal it, disguise it as intense focus on the embroidery hoop in her hands. she had chosen her seat deliberately, crowding in beside him on the settee he was draped over, dramatic as ever, rather than on the floor as she usually preferred, or an armchair of her own. while she might've shrunk from the touch of strangers and even those within her own family, on most occasions, her aversion had never extended to him, one of the few truly safe people in her world.

' you shouldn't pout. he won't be long now. ' setting her embroidery aside carefully, helaena toes her slippers off, before drawing her legs up beneath her. delicate hands smooth her skirts out before she offers him her complete attention, reaching out a hand to stroke over the silken brown locks so unlike her own silvery strands of starlight. she'd always been envious of his hair, had wondered often when she was younger what it might've been like to resemble their mother more closely than their father. ' mother says you mustn't frown, or you'll give yourself wrinkles like grandfather. ' as if to illustrate her point, helaena touches a fingertip to each corner of his mouth, before she taps the end of his nose gently. ' smile for me? please. '

@baefire asked: ❛ what’s said is said . ❜ / for alicent

Alicent watches her son for a few agonizingly long moments. She seems to take in his features. Her son her boy who she loves more than anything. She is quietly contemplating what to say to him. Does he think she would allow such cruel words to be spoken about him? It makes her heartache. It makes her look back on previous moments wondering where she had failed him. At what moment had he decided that she was not on his side? She wishes she could ask him this but words seem to fail her at that moment. Her heart is too busy shattering to utter any words.

Instead she reaches over to rest her hand on top of his. She is quiet for a few moments more before taking in a careful breath. She wraps her hand around his reaching her other hand out to touch his face meeting his eyes as she does. "You are my son and I would never let anyone say such things about you family or otherwise. " She thought she had proved that on that fateful night at Driftmark.

Then again it wasn't fair to him she should not take her caring for Aemond as the only proof to her children that she cares. She should show each of them how much she cares she needs to be better she needs to do better. "I love you." She tells him giving his hand a small squeeze. "I would never... you must know I would never let this happen. You mean more than everything to me."

@baefire //asked: ❛ well , don’t stand there in the rain - come on . ❜ / for rhaenerys

Rhaenerys had gone outside trying desperately to catch her breath. She had been given the news by Jason fucking Lannister. Suggesting she should congratulate her brother on his betrothal to a Baratheon girl. She had kept a brave face and agreed in front of the man but now outside she was sobbing. How could this happen? How could he not tell her? He was supposed to be hers she was his she had done everything for him and now he was married to another? The rain only seemed to compound her feelings making her cry harder. She would catch her death out in this freezing rain but now she does not care not when she has been betrayed so.

She has her arms crossed around her middle comfortingly as she sobs making no move to get out of the rain. She is already shivering and her stomach is churning when she hears Bae. She looks back at him as he suggests she go inside. She knows she should but she feels ill and she cannot face everyone that is inside. All of their questions and the suggestions of how she can be the best to her future sister by law. Oh she was going to have to be nice to the damn girl... she could be sick.

She wants to disagree with him but still she makes her way over from him. At least now she was covered from the rain. "They will ask why I am in such a state." She should be happy but she couldn't not when she was madly in love with Aemond and thought he felt the same. She knew he did which made this all the more confusing. "Do you know somewhere to hide I just... please I need to get away. Please I never ask anything of you I just cannot go back in with everyone else- not yet."

Who inspires you?

My son. I spend every day trying to be the kind of man and Father he needs me to be. I want to be a role model for my son. I want him to grow up knowing that I would do anything for him, and my love is never going to be conditional.

Bae inspires me to be the best man I possibly can, and I certainly hope I'm doing a good job at this.
