An OUAT Fanfic: Zelena never died at the hands of Rumplestiltskin, but he did try to make that way. When Regina and the others find her near death in the cell of the Sheriff's Office, they rush her to the hospital. Zelena can actually see if she's up to the task of deserving that second chance.

It should be no secret that royals perform deceitful deeds. Hiding behind their power and some have the audacity to call others a coward. Elsa is a powerful sorceress and she's also the Queen of Arendale. It's horrible to try to rule when you can't even control your own curse, the fear of hurting people of your kingdom consuming you. Her worse flaw is actually caring and being a true royal that fears for her people's safety. She's hunted down, until she meets her bastard child, Rumplestiltskin. Rumplestiltskin's faced with an obstacle, himself. He wants to know who he truly is, he finds out more about the first Dark One, and along with it finds out more about his ancestors and the fairies. They're all entangled together and a war is beckoned among the residents of Storybrooke Maine.
