This is a really interesting look at Regina and Mr Gold here!

This was awesome! It was so interesting to see your explanation of how the freezing of time worked, especially while Henry grew up - it's always made my brain hurt to think about it, so thanks for doing the thinking for me!

You did a really great job of making Regina both evil and sympathetic, when it came to her love for Henry. And poor little Henry's confusion/frustration/glee at finally understanding what's going on. And the origin of the book! It was all excellent.

Thanks!

While I was re-watching, some of the things Henry said (about stuff never changing, bad stuff happening to people who try to leave, etc.) really struck me, and I had to figure out just what the poor kid had gone through. No wonder he needed therapy! Plus Regina and Gold are the two most interesting characters and I love their rivalry, so it was fun exploring that more.

I absolutely love this 'fic. And I always wondered about the curse and it's exactly my head!canon that Storybrooke reset, stuck in an annual time loop (Whatever it was supposed to be in canon, I'm not sure, but this fits). And that Henry's recognition something's wrong is when he's the only one moving forward every school year.

Love your Regina and feel so sad for her. Gold is excellent. Concur with other people's comments. Anyway, good work.

I *really* liked this, especially your drawing out how Henry could have reach a point where he would believe the stories in his book.
