❝Can a man still be brave when he’s afraid?❞

He smiled softly at his girl, her brother already sleeping in his own bed just a few feet away from the fire. Bae had exhausted himself far more that day, determined to tend to the small amount of land they had to grow food for the family. With his Papa’s leg being what it was, Bae took that job upon himself. 

Reaching out to gently stroke her hair, trying to soothe her to sleep also, Rumplestiltskin nodded slowly. “That’s when we’re at our most brave, sweetheart. When we’re afraid but we do what’s right anyway. That’s not just being brave, that’s being courageous.” 

He paused a moment, still gazing at her. His voice was low and soft, wanting to share a moment with her and also not wanting to disturb Bae’s sleep. “Why do you ask?”

A moment of weakness

22. My muse has suddenly sprained an ankle and can’t walk.

“Ow shit!” Wil squeaked out, as he stupidly wasn’t looking where he was walking and twisted his ankle on a rock. Fuckkk it hurt like hell, and he was about to use his magic to drain some life force from a nearby flower, even though, he knew his brother would have cursed the hell out of his for it... but damn... Either way, though, he stopped, looking up to see a strange girl just a few yards away. In a weird way, she looked slightly familiar, but he couldn’t place it. He was sure he had never met her, but in any case, he wasn’t going to use his magic in front of her.

He wasn’t in Neverland. This was the human world, albeit Storybrooke, but still. When he wasn’t in Neverland around people he knew, Wil still reverted into hiding just who he was. Fears of past experiences still held him.

Wil’s squeezed out a smile, faking that the pain was twisting it’s way up his spine. “Don’t worry. I’m fine. Stupid rocks are stupid. You know.” He shrugged, holding in the wince of pain.

*loves on the twin brother! ��*

Bae gave her a sympathetic smile. “Thank you, Bonnie  . . . I really needed that.”

“It’s my turn to take care of you.”

He’d had no idea that his little girl had heard him as he sat by the fire, quietly sobbing. Both of his children had been devastated that day when he’d hobbled home, telling them the lie that their Mother had died. He’d tried his hardest to bring her back but he was nothing but a cripple. There was nothing more he could possibly have done. 

So as Bae sobbed himself to sleep and he’d been sure Bonnie had done too, he’d settled himself in front of the fireplace and before he knew it he was quietly sobbing to himself. Clutching the top of his walking staff, wiping at the tears on his face with the back of his hand, he’d jolted awake when he’d heard his daughter’s soft and caring voice.

He certainly hadn’t wanted either of them to see him like this but there was no use in denying it. She’d seen, she was caring and he just smiled as he sniffled, patting the spot beside him for her to sit. “Why not just sit with me a little while, and that’ll be enough? Then get back to sleep. Not having to worry about you two resting, that’ll be taking care of me, sweetheart.”

@spinnersdaughter​ sent: 💙 Neal | Shipping Call! 

💙 - kinship ( blood or symbolic familial bond )

I WOULD LOVE TO DO SOMETHING WITH YOU. The Gold Family has such interesting dynamics and honestly I think Neal having a sibling would have been really fun and heart wrenching to see. Plus, I would love to develop Neal more outside of his relationship with Emma and Henry. Feel free to hmu for plots, so we can talk a bit more in depth about this and see what we can come up with.

"Who are you?"

@spinnersdaughter

He looked over at his little girl in fear and confusion. “Come on Bonnie, don’t play around. I’m your father, remember?”

@spinnersdaughter

He had just laid in bed this morning, unable to make himself get up when he normally did. Though he was up now. And dressed. But he wouldn’t have time for breakfast. Not that it mattered. He wasn’t that hungry. “Sorry I’m running behind Bonnie,” he told her softly. “Let’s get you to school now.”

“Bonnie I-... “ Bae stopped and sighed, “I’m sorry, okay? I just... I don’t know how to get us out of this... I thought I did but the more I think about it, the less it makes sense...”
