The '''[[Darkness|Dark One]]'s Deals''' are featured on [[ABC]]'s ''[[Once Upon a Time]]''. They début in the [[Pilot|first episode]] of the [[Season One|first season]].
==='''The Dark Curse in Exchange for Riches and Comfort'''===
 
<p style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-style: normal;">In exchange for the secret to completing the [[Evil Queen]]'s [[Dark Curse]], Rumplestiltskin demanded riches and comfort in the real world of Storybrooke, and that the Evil Queen has to give him anything he asks for as long as he says "please." ([[The Thing You Love Most|"The Thing You Love Most"]]). It is known that Rumplestiltskin's counterpart, Mr. Gold, remembers making this deal probably because it was initially his spell that he gave to the queen, and is shown he remembers after Regina demands his real name with which he answers "Rumpelstiltskin". ([[Skin Deep|"Skin Deep"]])</p>

==Background==
==='''Marionette Potion in Exchange for Jiminy Cricket's Parents'''===
 
  +
Throughout the realms, [[Rumplestiltskin]] became known as a being of great power and was feared because of his ability to grant a person's deepest wishes and darkest desires with magical deals that proved to be worse than he would initially proclaim. These deals appear to transcend into the Storybrooke reality as well, with Rumplestiltskin's counterpart [[Mr. Gold]] retaining a similar disposition for swindling people in desperate situations. In either reality, it appears that Rumplestiltskin always benefits in the long term through his deals, despite short term set-backs brought about by certain individuals. He has only broken one deal as Rumplestiltskin and a second deal as [[Mr. Gold]]. A third deal was negotiated with [[William Smee]], but never carried out.
<p style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-style: normal;">In the episode, [[That Still Small Voice|"That Still Small Voice,"]] it is revealed that Rumplestiltskin had a business relationship with [[Jiminy Cricket]], who would bring him possessions stolen by his parents during their travels as puppeteers in exchange for Rumplestiltskin's gold thread. One day, sensing that Jiminy had become disillusioned with being forced into a life of deceit and thievery, Rumplestiltskin offered him the chance to escape by giving him a magic potion that would take care of his parents for good. In return, Rumplestiltskin only asked that he be given Jiminy's parents after they had taken the potion, as it would count as his fee. However, Jiminy's plan backfired when his parents switched Rumplestiltskin's potion with a bottle of rainwater they had planned to give to another swindled couple. After learning that the couple had been turned into marionettes through the potion, Jiminy left his parents and made another deal with the [[Blue Fairy]] to become a cricket in order to mentor the couple's now orphaned son, [[Gepetto|Geppetto]]. Meanwhile, Rumplestiltskin, true to his word, took possession of the marionettes, who were later shown to be owned by Mr. Gold in his pawn shop in Storybrooke.</p>

{{NeedAttention|Complete lists and tables}}<small>''Notes:'' </small>
<p style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-style: normal;">In [[The_Price_of_Gold|"The Price of Gold"]], Rumpelstiltskin destroys [[Cinderella]]'s [[Fairy_Godmother|Fairy Godmother]] just afer she appears to soon-to-be-princess, stealing the Fairy Godmother's wand in turn. In exchange for something "precious" to Cinderella<span style="font-style: normal; "> - which turned out to be her firstborn child -</span> he uses the wand to bless her with a magical night at [[Prince Thomas]]' ball.

==='''Rumplestiltskin's Freedom in Exchange for Prince Thomas'''===
 
  +
{{NeedAttention|Complete the episodes}}
<p style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-style: normal;">When Cinderella confesses the terms of her deal with Rumplestiltskin to Prince Thomas, he concocted a plan to trap Rumplestiltskin. Thomas gets a red quill enchanted by the [[Blue_Fairy|Blue Fairy]] that will freeze and neutralize the magic of anyone who uses it. Cinderella tells Rumplestiltskin that she wants to make a new deal with him. She tells Rumplestiltskin that she is pregnant with twins, and she will give both children to Rumplestiltskin in exchange for good crops in Thomas' kingdom, if Rumplestiltskin will sign a contract using the red quill. (The deal is a ruse; Cinderella is not pregant with twins.) Rumplestiltskin warns Cinderella that she should not try to trick him because "all magic comes with a price," but he signs the contract nonetheless. The quill freezes Rumplestiltskin and he is imprisoned in the dwarves' mines. However, Prince Thomas mysteriously disappears. Rumplestiltskin tells Cinderella that the Prince wouldn't return to her until Rumplestiltskin's original deal was honored. ([[The_Price_of_Gold|"The Price of Gold"]]).</p>

==Trivia==
==='''Potion of Forgetfulness in Exhange for a Lock of Snow White's Hair'''===
 
  +
{{StartTrivia}}
<p style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-style: normal;">In the episode[[7:15am|&nbsp;"7:15 A.M."]] Rumpelstiltskin made a deal with Snow White in exchange for a potion which would allow her to forget her memories of Prince Charming so that he would be able to fulfill his responsibilities to his father's kingdom. Rumpelstiltskin only asked for a lock of Snow White's hair in return, which he later used to bottle "true love" by placing it in a bottle with Prince James' hair.</p>

===On-Screen Notes===
  +
*When making deals, [[Rumplestiltskin]] tends to take items that will inevitably help him in his quest to find his [[Neal Cassidy|son]], or simply to increase his own power and/or influence. He tends to take items of personal value because such items can obtain their own kind of [[magic]] with enough love. {{S|("[[In the Name of the Brother]]", "[[The Apprentice (Episode)|The Apprentice]]", "[[The Snow Queen (Episode)|The Snow Queen]]")}}

Through her stay in his castle, Belle learned that Rumpelstiltskin had once had a son who shared his kingdom, but now had left him all alone, causing him to seek company which Belle could provide. Rumpelstiltskin later broke this deal himself, releasing Belle from their arrangement after suspecting that she was in league with the Evil Queen planning usurp his power and kingdom.

<p style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-style: normal;">During Storybrooke's election for a new sheriff, Mr. Gold approached Emma Swan with a proposal for political support and fiancial backing during her campaign. Emma, angered by Regina's constant attempts at tryng to force her out of town, tentatively accepted Gold's deal, believing him to be the lesser of two evils. However, after learning that Gold staged a firebombing in the Storybrooke city hall in order to paint Emma as a selfless hero, Emma turned on him during a public debate with Sydney Glass, thus nullifying their arrangement. However, it is learned after Emma is elected that Gold had always planned for her to betray him, realizing that standing up to him publically was a greater feat than standing up to Regina as it painted her as being brave and selfless. Either way, Gold reminded Emma that she still owed him his favor from the episode [[The_Price_of_Gold|"The Price of Gold"]], and thus, actually had no choice in the matter when it came to bargaining her allegiance, as it was something Gold already owned.

At the time, Emma Swan and Sydney Glass suspected Gold's payment was embellezed from the town by Regina so that she could construct a second home, but it turns out the whole deal was a ruse so that Regina would be able to deflect public suspicion from her shadier actions and have a legitimate reason to keep Henry from spending time with Emma. Wanting to keep his business transactions private, Gold never asked what Regina wanted the land for, but probably suspected her intentions nonetheless.

The Dark One's Deals are featured on ABC's Once Upon a Time. They début in the first episode of the first season.

Background

Throughout the realms, Rumplestiltskin became known as a being of great power and was feared because of his ability to grant a person's deepest wishes and darkest desires with magical deals that proved to be worse than he would initially proclaim. These deals appear to transcend into the Storybrooke reality as well, with Rumplestiltskin's counterpart Mr. Gold retaining a similar disposition for swindling people in desperate situations. In either reality, it appears that Rumplestiltskin always benefits in the long term through his deals, despite short term set-backs brought about by certain individuals. He has only broken one deal as Rumplestiltskin and a second deal as Mr. Gold. A third deal was negotiated with William Smee, but never carried out.
