Peter Pan is a character from Once Upon A Time. He is loosely based on Peter Pan (character) of the story Peter Pan.

Canon

Fandom

Peter Pan became a very popular character in Season 3, when he was finally revealed to the viewers, although he had made appearances in fanworks prior to S3. However, unlike most depictions of Peter Pan, this version of him is portrayed as evil which caused some fans to love it and others to dislike it.

Another controversy between fans appeared when the episode 8 of the third season aired, and it was revealed Peter Pan was in fact a man named Malcolm, the father of Rumplestiltskin, who abandoned him in return for eternal youth in Neverland and the ability to fly again. This revelation led to the emergence of a new tag in AO3 "Peter Pan is not Rumplestiltskin | Mr Gold's father" and fans choosing to create Alternate Universe works where the character remains truer to his original creation, a boy who never grew up.

Most works depicting romance between Peter Pan and another character in Storybrooke also includes him coming back to life (Resurrection tag or Temporary Character Death), or never being killed at all.

Wendy Darling/Peter Pan pairing

Dark Paradise by ladykikyo1792: "Peter Pan is dead, and Wendy Darling is now living in Storybrooke. Pretty and popular at her high school, no one guesses that now, months later, she still has nightmares of The Boy Who Never Grew Up. As she struggles to fit in and forget her past, a string of murders make her wonder if her past will ever let her go- or if he really died. AU where Peter isn't Rumple's father."

The Bravest Belief of All (Amandi) by Melimelo: "A heart. That heart he wanted, that heart he needed but which he didn’t have, was all he could think about for the following days. Both his salvation and his plight. He would search for it, of course, that was a given. He would find it. No matter how long it shall take, I will. Peter believed it. For her. Then she’d be back to him. Forever. -AKA- Peter Pan is in love, truly so, but he needs a Truest Believer. Their heart, to be more precise. The very thing that doesn't fully belong to him anymore, the very same thing he can't fully give away. No one knows where, when or who that next one will be. Could be a minute, a year, a century. Doesn't matter, he can be patient. When one has forever before them, they can be patient. He can even get fate moving forward. And he'll be the one who'll get it. After all, Peter Pan never fails." M rated, warning: Peter Pan is Rumplestiltskin's father in this story.

The Devil Adored You So by orphan_account: ""You're her," he says. "I'm who?" she's trying so hard not to call him crazy. So, so hard. “Her,” he says, with a roll of his eyes, jabbing a finger at the book’s cover. “From the story I just showed you.” Wendy begins to shake her head. “Henry, I — “ "You’re Peter Pan’s true love.""
