* TangledFamilyTree: Like the canon iteration ''wasn't complicated enough''. Prince Charming/David and Snow White/Mary Margaret are the birth parents of Emma who would later be the adopted daughter of Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold. She would run away and wind up getting knocked up by Neal/Baelfire and have their love-child David Gold. Keep in mind that Neal/Baelfire is Rumpelstiltskin's/Mr. Gold's father, meaning that Emma had a kid with ''her own step-brother'' and making David both Mr. Gold's adopted grandson ''and'' biological grandson! Then Emma goes and marries Jefferson, who practically helped raise her when she was younger, making Grace/Paige (who was Emma's friend at one point when they were the same age) her step-daughter and David's step-sister.

Added DiffLines:

* BabiesMakeEverythingBetter: Adopting Emma leaves Mr. Gold to be much more tender-hearted than his canon counterpart. Granted, everyone is still afraid of him, but her presence forces him to behave more like a regular person (inviting people over to Thanksgiving for instance).

* {{Glamour}}: The conditions of the curse allows Mr. Gold to adopt Emma without Regina (but not Jefferson) finding anything strange about her (like how she is the only person that ages).

* WhatIf: What if Rumpelstiltskin agreed to raise Emma when the curse strikes rather than leave her fate to chance?
* YoureNotMyFather: With Emma has spent her whole life being raised by Mr. Gold (and more or less by her mother's cursed persona Mary Margaret), she virtually has nothing to go on with David, making things especially difficult for the both of them.

Added DiffLines:

* FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo: When Emma realizes that Neal and Baelfire are the same person, this reveals that 1) she essentially had sex with her step-brother, and 2) his son David ''actually is'' Mr. Gold'’s grandson.
* HappilyAdopted: Despite ''many'' missteps along the way, Emma is still on good terms with her adopted father Mr. Gold by the end.
* MoralityChain: Emma is the only person who is able to keep Mr. Gold from devolving into his more "Dark One"-esq habits. For example, when Mr. Gold found out that not only was Belle alive the entire time, but imprisoned in the asylum by Regina, he was ready to kill Regina and break the curse prematurely. Luckily, Emma was able to talk him down.

What if Gold was the one that raised Emma? And what if Regina was slightly affected by the curse so that she didn't realized the daughter that Mr. Gold adopted as his own was the savior and right in front of her nose?

This fanfic is quickly followed by ''Fanfic/LoveThyFather.''

!!This fanfic provides examples of:
* AdaptationalVillainy: Without Henry’s (here named ''David'' after his maternal grandfather) positive influence, Regina does not develop a sense of love and empathy, leaving her without redeeming qualities and [[spoiler:to her DeathByAdaptation]].
