History FanFic / OnceUponATimeAbridged

''Once upon a time: Abridged'' (also known as ''Once Upon A Time The Abridged Series'') is a FanFiction by [[http://daesgatling.livejournal.com/ daestgatling]], based on the TV series Series/OnceUponATime. It can be found [[http://daesgatling.livejournal.com/11439.html#cutid1 here]] (up to 2x06, the Thankful for Christmas Special and The New Years Resolution Special) and [[http://onceuponatimeabridged.blogspot.com/ here]].

* CatchPhrase: "Henry Gold here !"
** "Hiiii Emma !"
** "Morons !"
** "Hey, bestie !"
* ChickMagnet: [[InsistentTerminology This version of Philip pretends to be one. ]]

* ManicPixieDreamGirl: WordofGod says Mary Margaret's character is based of this.

* SerialRomeo: Graham.

* NotSoStoic: Despite Emma's status as an [[OnlySaneMan Only Entirely Grounded Woman]] at the beginning, she slowly devolves into Only Mostly Sane Woman.

** It was promptly sort of... maybe... reversed ? It's hard to tell, really, because Regina snarks at herself so mcuh that you can never understand if she's supposed to be self-conscious and a deconstruction of MagnificentBitch or a StrawLoser.

* DesperatelyCravesAffection: Mary Margaret, like in the series, though it is even more heartbreaking because she turns this UpToEleven.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: An Evil Regal reading the fanfiction tend to have this reaction.

* YourCheatingHeart: Rumplestiltskin, towards his LoveInterests and best friends, Belle, Emma, Waldo and Archie. Belle and Emma are ready to call him out on this, unlike his best friends.

* UsedToBeASweetKid: Snow White is a subversion bordering an inversion. She was originally an EnfanteTerrible ManipulativeBastard[[BitchInSheepsClothing In Sheep's Clothing]] and slowly turned into a JerkWithAHeartOfGold UnscrupulousHero who seems to be going to PragmaticHero. PlayedStraight with Regina, who was still obsessed with "[[{{Foreshadowing}} emotionally emasculating boyfriends]]", [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment whatever]] [[MindScrew that]] [[ContinuitySnarl means]].

* NeverLiveItDown: In-universe, Regina's rape of Graham is consistently evoked by The Writer, Regina, Rumple and Charming. Probably a JustifiedTrope since, in this universe, it's completely intentional and done "[[WordOfGod to feel power over someone]]".

--->'''Mary Margaret:''' [[CrowningMomentOfFunny He told me he would treasure this apron forever !]]

* ExtremeDoormat: Archie. He grows out of it, and via LampshadeHanging it is called a "CrowningMomentOfAwesome" by name!

* AbusiveParents: Mary Margaret, when she resurfaces, thinks that Emma's presence is good because she can enact a ParentTrapPlot. Other then that, on the SlidingScaleOfParentShamingInFiction:

Regina, his other mom, is Snow White's stepmother who sent them all here! She is insanely rich, classy and powerful, and her [[BatmanGambit Batman Gambits]] always succeed...unless they are thwarted by Mr. Gold, Emma's only powerful ally...who happens to be an equally omnipotent AffablyEvil [[TheChessmaster mastermind]] who dated or tried to date all the women in town and won't take "no" for an answer...even when it comes from Emma. Did we mention every character from this fanfiction, apart from Emma and some [[InnocentBystander Innocent Bystanders]] are just as ruthless as him, and that Henry is no different? That cute, harmless-looking little boy wants Mr. Gold to make him his very own BastardUnderstudy and DaddysLittleVillain. Yes, you heard well: [[ShipperOnDeck he ships]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking them]]!

* AbusiveParents: Mary Margaret, when she resurfaces, thinks that Emma's presence is good because she can enact TheParentTrap. Other then that, on the SlidingScaleOfParentShamingInFiction :

* UsedToBeASweetKid: Snow White is a subversion bordering an inversion. She was originally an EnfanteTerrible ManipulativeBastard[[BitchInSheepsClothing In Sheep's Clothing]] and slowly turned into a JerkWithAHeartOfGold UnscrupulousHero who seems to be going to PragmaticHero. PlayedStraight with Regina, who was still obsessed with "[[{{Foreshadowing}} emotionally emasculating boyfriends]]", [[BigLippedAligatorMoment whatever]] [[MindScrew that]] [[ContinuitySnarl means]].

** Regina and Charming are type II. The latter has GoodParents moments once in a while and Regina had one ParentsAsPeople moment.

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Though the specifics do not apply, Regina actually loves Henry.

* BrainlessBeauty: Charming can be momentarly this sometimes in the abridged series, though he seems more HotBlooded and refusing to plan. [[TooDumbToLive David is much worse]]...
* ButtMonkey: David and Prince Charming. Mary Margaret sees him in a state close from BrainwashedAndCrazy... and comments that it can mean no good as he is way too likable. No one seems shocked at her bluntness.

* DeadpanSnarker: Emma, Snow White, Henry, and, occasionally David and Charming, which is much more awesome than his fight scenes. However, they are all bested by [[OnlySaneMan Regina]]. Ryumplestiltskin prefers StealthInsult.

* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: {{Subverted}} with Regina. She has a very blunt mother, but her bluntness is described as funny, and Regina's reaction isn't really PlayedForLaughs, though it isn't as dramatic either.

* NeverLiveItDown: In-universe, Regina's rape of Graham is consistently evoked by The Writer, Regina, Rumple and Charming.

* PairTheSpares: Jefferson and Ruby elope just after seeing each other onscreen.

* SurroundedByIdiots: The abridged Regina's feeling. To be fair, she is right most of the time.

* UsedToBeASweetKid: Snow White is a subversion bordering an inversion. She was originally an EnfanteTerrible ManipulativeBastard[[BitchInSheepsClothing In Sheep's Clothing]] and slowly turned into a JerkWithAHeartOfGold UnscrupulousHero who seems to be going to PragmaticHero. PlayedStraight with Regina, who was still obsessed with emotionally emasculating boyfriends, whatever that means.

* UsedToBeASweetKid: Snow White is a subversion bordering an inversion. She was originally an EnfanteTerrible ManipulativeBastard[[BitchInSheepsClothing In Sheep's Clothing]] and slowly turned into a JerkWithAHeartOfGold UnscrupulousHero who seems to be going to PragmaticHero.
