Added DiffLines:
When Cora casts the curse, everyone suffers. Regina is married to the prince she never wanted. Gold tries to hide his affair with the librarian from Cora. Mary Margaret is drowning in debt, and Emma finds herself stuck in a dangerous town where no one is safe from the Evil Queen. This Storybrooke and its story are darker than the one you know.

!!Tropes
* AbusiveParents: Cora of course. She's also an abusive grandparent to Henry, who was adopted by David and Regina Nolan.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Regina manages to run away with Daniel, so she never blames Snow White for his death. In fact, she considers Snow her little sister and does everything she can to stop Cora.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In-universe. Cora's curse turns some people who were good in the Enchanted Forest into totally [[{{Jerkass}} jerkasses]]; like kindhearted Princess Abigail becoming Ms Cole, a tyrant who enjoys making Mary Margaret miserable.
* AdultFear: [[spoiler: Cora sends Hook to burn down the library. Henry, Lacey and Lacey's daughter Renee were inside and barely made it out alive.]]
* TheAlcoholic: Mary Margaret is now a recovering alcoholic.
* ArrangedMarriage: Cora makes Regina and David's cursed personas a married couple. They're not in love with each but they are friends. [[spoiler: Eventually they agree to an amicable divorce so David can pursue Mary Margaret]].
* BigSisterInstinct: Regina has this for Snow.
* BlackWidow: Cora kills both her husbands, Prince Henry and King Leopold.
* ButtMonkey: Mary Margaret's Storybrooke backstory. She lost her whole family, was an alcoholic, has mountains of debt left by her late father, and is being stalked by Jefferson. [[spoiler: When a new debt appears out of nowhere at Cora's whim, she's nearly forced into what is essentially prostitution, but Gold buys her debt to keep that from happening.]]
* DarkerAndEdgier: The curse is now tailored by Cora and she's a lot more twisted than her daughter.
* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale[=/=]DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: ''Averted''. Cora manipulated the curse so she could have some control over Gold without needing the dagger. Her treatment of him is pretty horrific and when [[spoiler: Gold ends up in the hospital, Dr. Whale takes the possibility of abuse very seriously.]]
* TheDragon: Hook/Cyril is Cora's right hand man.
* [[TheDutifulSon Dutiful Daughter]]: Played straight with Zelena. Subverted with Regina, who's only "dutiful" when Cora [[ForcedIntoEvil twists her arm]].
* HappilyMarried: Regina and Daniel elope [[spoiler: but are only happy until Cora finds them.]]
** Rumpelstiltskin/Gold and Belle/Lacey.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: Regina in the Enchanted Forest, due to being forced to do her mother's bidding against her will. [[spoiler: Those who remember the Enchanted Forest, like the Mother Superior/Blue Fairy, still think she's evil and a threat to the Savior.]]
* EmbarrassingNickname: Since Cora takes the moniker "the Evil Queen", Regina is known as "the Dark Princess". She doesn't like it at all.
* TheFagin: The trope namer himself has Ava/Greta and Nicholas/Hansel doing his dirty work.
* ForWantOfANail: Cora takes over Regina's canon role: marrying Leopold, becoming the Evil Queen, and casting the Dark Curse.
** Also, Rumpelstiltskin marries Belle back in the Enchanted Forest and they have a daughter.
** Several people who didn't come over in the original curse did in Cora's, like Robin Hood/Errol Forrester and Will Scarlet/Francis Sadlock.
* [[IHaveYourWife I Have Your Husband]]: Instead of killing Daniel, Cora holds him in the dungeons, threatening to kill him if Regina doesn't obey her.
* MamaBear: Regina to Henry, Snow, and Emma.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Hook didn't mind [[spoiler: burning the library until her realized that there people inside. Fortunately, everyone got out alive.]]
* PlatonicLifePartners: Regina and Prince Charming
* {{Slimeball}}: Keith Law/the Sheriff of Nottingham drinks on the job, sexually harassing every marginally attractive woman in sight, and is an all-around {{Jerkass}} to everyone.
* SlutShaming: Lacey gets scorn from her father for having a child out of wedlock (although technically her daughter was born in a happy marriage in the Enchanted Forest). [[spoiler: After the library is burned]], she moves in with Gold as his maid and everyone assumes she's his kept woman.
* ShipperOnDeck: When Regina notices that Mary Margaret and David are getting closer, she gives her blessing.
* ShippingTorpedo: Cora doesn't like Emma being with Graham, so she [[spoiler: makes Graham crash his car into a restaurant, paralyzing him from the waist down]].
* SilkHidingSteel: Lacey [[spoiler: after getting her memories back]].
* StalkerWithACrush: In Storybrooke, Jefferson is Mary Margaret's possessive ex-boyfriend who refuses to take "no" for an answer.
* [[WellDoneSonGuy Well Done Daughter Gal]]: Zelena is desperate to please Cora, her birth mother.
* WouldHurtAChild: Cora arranges for [[spoiler: 10 year old Henry]] to be killed, with [[spoiler: 3 year old Renee French]] also in the crosshairs.
