au where what we all wanted to happen happened.

[flashbacksech0es]

"I thought we could just go for a walk through the meadow." Michael said, stepping out of Belle's arms and holding out his hand to her. When he'd first woken up he couldn't imagine living this life, the war was over, and he had married the most beautiful and kind hearted woman he'd ever met.

"Shall we?"

@flashbacksech0es

Michael smiled, Belle was shorter than him, so her cheek came to rest between his shoulders.

Reaching for her hands, Michael lifted her left hand and kissed her wedding band.

"Your father's off, and chores are finished for the day, want to go for a walk?"

____________________________________________-

Not even her vivid daydreams had been a fraction as spectacular as her reality is. Michael Carter is everything Belle's ever desired and more. His eyes always bore the vivacious promise of adventure, his witty nature and aptitude with reading people never ceased to amaze. He is every bit as remarkable as all the heroes she's deigned to read about. And the greatest part, the wildest part, is that she gets to love him for all of eternity.

Belle presses a doting, affectionate kiss to his shoulder blades. With her arms, she squeezes him a little tighter to herself. She'd be content to hold him here, as her captive, as long as he will allow. "Have I told you, how much I love you, mon cher trésor?"

He still has the power to encourage a blush into the breadths of her cheeks with ease. And he does it by pressing a kiss over the ring he gave her. It's still the most beautiful gift she'd ever been given, after him.

"With you, my beloved, of course. Where would you like to go?"

PROMPTS FOR THE MOST ROMANTIC THINGS TO SAY *  updated version, adjust as necessary

you should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how.

you are my dearest one. my reason for life.

until my last day, i'll be loving you.

kiss me. kiss me as if it were the last time.

love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs.

i was swallowed up in an abyss of love in an instant.

you are my heart, my life, my one and only thought.

you are sunlight through a window, which i stand in, warmed.

you are beautiful without knowing it.

anyone who has seen your smile has known perfection.

every atom of your flesh is as dear to me as my own.

i became fascinated by your goodness. i was drawn in by it.

all i want is to deserve you. tell me what to do. i’ll do anything you say.

i will return. i will find you. love you. marry you. and live without shame.

it has made me better loving you.

i see you only with my heart.

i would love to say that you make me weak in the knees, but to be quite upfront and completely truthful, you make my body forget it has knees at all.

i've fallen in love. i didn't think such violent things could happen to ordinary people.

we loved with a love that was more than love.

i find myself choosing you, more and more every day.

i can’t sleep, i can’t eat, i can’t do anything but think about you.

we are asleep until we fall in love.

you want the moon? just say the word, and i'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down.

i cannot let you burn me up, nor can i resist you.

i believe in you completely.

a hundred hearts would be too few to carry all my love for you.

love is never a waste of time.

when i am gone, my love, do not look for me in the places we used to go together. look for me in the places we always planned to go together.

i’ve hungered for your touch.

you must allow me to tell you how ardently i admire and love you.

when you fall in love, it is a temporary madness.

i’ve tried so many times to think of a new way to say it, and it’s still i love you.

my soul and your soul are forever tangled.

in all the world, there is no heart for me like yours. in all the world, there is no love for you like mine.

the first time ever i saw your face, i thought the sun rose in your eyes.

i wish i had done everything on earth with you.

if you remember me, then i don’t care if everyone else forgets.

you are, and always have been, my dream.

i love that you are the last person i want to talk to before i go to sleep at night.

come near now, and kiss me.

when will i hold you again?

it’s always better when we’re together.

you were the only thing in my life that was real.

in your smile i see something more beautiful than the stars.

when i saw you i fell in love, and you smiled because you knew.

you complete me.

i wanted it to be you. i wanted it to be you so badly.

i think i’d miss you even if we never met.

love is a friendship set to music.

i never want to stop making memories with you.

every time i see you, i fall in love all over again.

do i love you? my god, if your love were a grain of sand, mine would be a universe of beaches.

we kiss like we invented it.

i can’t smile without you.

now you're my whole life. now you're my whole world.

you're every minute of my every day.

maybe it's our imperfections that make us so perfect for one another.

i can't see anything i don't like about you.

❛  i know it's 2 a.m. but i really need someone to talk to. are you awake?  ❜ (for Emma Swan, Belle is pregnant – but without all the S6 bs, so she and Rumple are together – and has some worries) @bellecourageuse

"Belle?" Emma hadn't expected the town librarian to be on the other end of the phone at two in the morning.

"Yeah, I'm awake... are you okay? David's covering the station, do you need me to send him out to your place?"

How else was he here? Kissing her forehead and whispering 'You're safe. I'm still here. I promise. I'm still here with you.'

"... Phil?" She blinked, but he didn't disappear.

Confused, Audrey reached up and touched his face, her eyes widening when her hand came in contact with warm, solid flesh.

Nothing made sense, how was he here? Was she dead?
