A Standing Engagement

“I don’t like him, Rumkin,” Belle announces, striding into his laboratory without so much as a knock or a by-your-leave.
Rumpelstiltskin winces at the nickname—as he always must; no good giving his imp ideas—but just the same he asks, “Who now, dearie?”
And thankfully, Belle waits until he puts down the highly explosive extract before she says, “My fiancé.”

Writing Sprint!
Accio-firewhiskey prompted: “One of them is sick” and “Snowball fight.”
Cyprith prompted: “Gold has a man-cold, he’s sure he’s dying” and “Avocado rainbow unicorn showed up.” I’m still stunned I could fill that last one.
Take Only As Directed
His last meal was not exactly what he would have chosen before death. In fact, he was quite sure it would have at least been more complex for one’s palate, perhaps something braised with exotic vegetables, slow cooked and wood smoked, but the steaming bowl of chicken noodle and the dry saltines sat in front of him mockingly as if they’d won some sort of victory. Had he had an appetite to begin with, he might have put up a fight with the warden, but as it stood, he knew he wouldn’t have won anyway. His jailor was made of steel, all cold glare and iron grip, and he didn’t possess the energy, let alone the strength to try to fight anyway.

[and it’s you] Rumpelstiltskin + Belle
- So this started out pretty and then devolved into a mess because I got tired of it toward the end but I wanted to finish it so badly so I stayed awake until seven am to do so.
And finally, SV is working a little better than it was before, but there are still some issues, so please forgive any glitches.

Once Upon A Time - Rumbelle
Title: Wednesday Evening (Time of Day Series)
Rating: Oh, so NC-17, and NSFW
Summary: Belle has a teacher/student fantasy, and Mr Gold is all too happy to indulge her.A/N: A few people seemed to want the full story behind the Catholic schoolgirl outfit mentioned in Monday Morning. And other fic was being a bitch, and this is one of my favourite tropes, so here it is.
Part of the Time of Day series, but totally unnecessary to understand the shenanigans going on here.
(Also: shoutout to ddagent’s wonderful ‘Teachers Pet’ series, which takes this idea and makes it a proper AU and not the little roleplay fantasy this is.)

Belle tugs her skirt down a little way before she knocks on the door; it had seemed a little longer, a little more decent, when she’d bought it. Her shirt is a little tight as well, and for a moment she regrets her entire choice of wardrobe. But then, this is her school uniform, and so she didn’t have much of a choice in what she wore.
She smirks as she knocks, and hears his voice – distracted, he probably has papers to read or something – call for her to enter.

So, this is going to be an I don’t know how many part piece. And it will be Rumbelle (although, there won’t be Belle until the next part, sorry loves). And there’s Mad Swan. And there may be some Archie/Ruby in later parts. But for now, enjoy part one of however many this ends up being!
Prompts filled in this installment:
rumbelletumble: “graceless heart” and accio-firewhiskey: “signet”, “laden”, “helm”.
—————————————————————
The war is hard fought. It is not a single day affair; oh no, it rages on and on. The advantage is an ever moving tide, coming and going from one side to the other. Emma and Rumplestiltskin lead two groups that alternate taking the lead. While Emma’s soldiers rest, Rumplestiltskin’s fight and vice versa.
They leave notes to communicate with one another when need be, and many times when he returns weary from battle, there’s a new bit of parchment with a wax seal bearing the swan that graces the signet ring she always wears. News from Emma’s side of the battlefield, or some updated scheme to best the enemy.

I finally got around to starting this series and I really like it so far! I can’t wait to read this rest!
Also, sure Jefferson, of course you want Regina’s wardrobe to make hats out of. We all know you REALLY want to strut around in her glorius wardrobe. Don’t hide it! Work it, girl!

A/N: The sequel to Time Frames, where teen!Belle and Rumpelstiltskin must learn to live together as adults. NC-17.
This series is now called ‘Young Girls and Pet Dragons’

A Place on Earth
Chapter 1—-
Rumpelstiltskin’s hand felt so strange, warm and soft and newly-human, in Belle’s as he lead her upstairs.
She assumed she knew where they were going. Where else could he possibly be taking her but his bedroom? After all the time she’d spent begging for this, really, there was nowhere else left to go.
But the room they entered at the touch of his hand on the doorknob was not one she would have associated with Rumpelstiltskin, not after seeing his chambers in her father’s castle. It was all lush rugs and pretty wooden furniture, all silver and blue and green.
“What’s this?” she asked, and her voice wasn’t small and timid, not in the slightest. Belle was happy, not sad or scared or nervous. Belle was happy .

Summary: Rumpelstiltskin is bound to King Maurice’s service, and has known Belle her entire life. Things get more complicated when she reaches adolescence, and develops ‘feeling’s.
(otherwise known as awkward teen!Belle/Rumpelstiltskin)
This is the last chapter, except for the smutty epilogue that should hopefully be coming soon. But for all intents and purposes, this is the end. Enjoy!

He was never around anymore.
Ever.
Never by his wheel, nor in his rooms, nor reading in the courtyards; Rumpelstiltskin was a ghost who haunted her home, unseen but certainly not unfelt.

This was supposed to be the end. It’s not: there’s a chapter three, and possibly a smutty epilogue (since this fic has managed to stay, just barely, ‘T’-rated). Anyway, enjoy!

Chapter 2

Belle was sixteen when Rumpelstiltskin learned to fear her.
She’d held up her end of their deal: she’d begged and pleaded and worked her blue doe-eyed magic on her father, and Rumpelstiltskin was free to come and go as he pleased.
