18+ MINORS AND THOSE WITHOUT AGE IN BIO DNI

warnings: swearing

The bell above the door rang out as I was shelving books. I sighed and shifted the books in my arms as I reached up to try to put one away above my head.

“be just a minute!” I called, bringing my knee up to try to help balance the books better. “Crap!” I muttered as the books started to tumble from my arms.

“Careful there dearie.” I looked up from trying to catch the books to see Mr. Gold standing next to me with a book in his hand. “Wouldn’t want to lose any of these now would we?” I felt my cheeks heat up as I took the book from him.

“thank you Mr. Gold.” I murmured. He smiled at me. “Was there something I could help you find?” I asked, clearing my throat and straightening up.

“I was looking for a book on swords. I wanted to make sure one I my shop was authentic and not some cheap knock off.” Mr. Gold said, eyes flickering to the stack of books in my arms before he turned to look at the bookshelves.

“of course!” I said, turning towards the check out counter and put the books down. “Uhm I’m still shelving everything correctly so I’m not entirely sure…” I leaned over the counter and grabbed the clipboard with where I’d stacked everything on it. “Books on swords are going to be…” I trailed my finger down the list and bit my lip. Mr. Gold rocked on his heels as he tapped his cane. “In the back corner.” I said. I furrowed my eyebrows and looked towards the back.

“not where you remember putting them?” He asked. I shook my head.

“that was my miscellaneous pile.” I muttered. “I can bring the books to the shop. It’s going to take me a while to dig through the pile to find the right books.” Mr. Gold nodded.

“that sounds lovely actually.” He said. With a smile, he turned to go as I put down the clipboard. I was about to head towards the back corner when Mr. Gold spoke up again. “I don’t need them right now…” he said. I turned to look at him.

“oh?” I breathed out. He fidgeted with his cane for a second.

“Would you like to…” he paused, running a hand through his hair and turning away to laugh. “Sorry. I don’t know why I’m so nervous.” Mr. Gold cleared his throat and turned back to me. “Would you like to go on a date with me?” I felt my face heat up and nodded.

“I’d love that honestly.” I said, smiling at him. Mr. Gold nodded, a small smile on his face.

“good. Great.” He looked around the shop for a second. “I’ll pick you up in an hour.”

“I’ll be ready.” I said as I walked with him to the door. “And I’ll have the books.” Mr. Gold smiled at me.

“bring them tomorrow. I can wait.” He said, reaching over and squeezing my hand. I nodded as he walked out the door and headed towards his shop on the other side of the town. I closed up the library and rushed to the back room, pushing back into my apartment.

“oh fuck.” I breathed out as I threw my closet doors open. I looked through everything before choosing an outfit much different than what he had seen me wear in the library. I made it back to the front of the building just as Mr. Gold was leaving his shop. He paused when he saw me locking up before coming over.

“you look lovely.” He said, taking my hand and kissing the back of it. I smiled at him as he lowered my hand, not letting go of it.

“thank you.” I murmured. Mr. Gold led me down the street towards granny’s diner. “Where are we going?” I asked. He squeezed my hand.

“I was on a walk the other day.” He said, looking over at me with a mischievous glint in his eye. “Drs orders.” He joked. “And I saw this lovely little clearing back here.” I nodded slowly, my mind reeling with this new information. “I’m not going to murder you. I just thought someone as beautiful as you deserved an equally beautiful place for a first date.” I felt my cheeks heat up again at his words. We entered the clearing and Mr. Gold let go of my hand so I could take in the clearing. Fairy lights were strung up in the trees and a picnic table was set with food from granny’s.

“oh this is amazing.” I breathed out. Mr. Gold smiled softly as he watched me. “Did you put up the lights?” I asked, turning slowly in a circle. He shook his head at me and came over by me. He had propped his cane against the picnic table and was holding his hand out to me. Classical music started playing and I laughed as I shook my head.

“May I have the honor of a dance?” He asked. I nodded. Mr. Gold slid his hand around my waist and took my other hand. I put my green hand on his shoulder as he pulled me close. “I’m very glad you agreed to this date.” He said as he slowly spun us around.

“I’m glad I agreed to it too.” I said with a smile. He ducked his head, cheeks turning pink. I put my head on his shoulder as we effortlessly moved around the clearing. Lifting my head, he smiled at me.

“ready to eat?” He asked. I nodded.

“especially if we can do that again afterwards.” I said. Me. Gold smiled at me and nodded.

“if that is what you wish.” He said as he led me over to the table.

1 - Life Changing Deal

Princess Red Thief

Part 2

Tag list - just ask to be added @mystrey101 @melvia-ito @kmc1989 @tallrock35

Peaking my head through the treeline I saw the large castle in front of me. I ran straight for the nearest window reaching inside my cloak drawing a sword I stole from the soldiers armor outside my chambers. Swinging it against the glass it shattered when I ducked my head so it didn't get in my eyes. Climbing through the window I dropped down on my knees inside the castle. "Okay, now where's that dagger?"

Heading over to the cabinets filled with objects I began rummaging around for the specific blade in question. I started throwing books and other things on the ground until one of the globs shattered onto the floor and a voice called out behind me. "Looking for something specific are you, dearie?"

"Show yourself, beast." I draw the sword I used on the window holding it out in front of myself for defense.

A Purple cloud of smoke appeared in front of me. "Here I am, dearie." The figure in front of me had curly brown hair and scaly skin. He was dressed in leather and snake skins.

"What are you? Are you the one they call Rumple...Rumplestiltskin?" I questioned tightening my grip on the blade handle.

The figure giggles performing an over the rope bow. "Indeed I am Rumplestilskin. Now who are you and why so foolish to try and steal from the Dark One?"

"My name is Everly. My parents are Princess Abigail and Prince Frederick." I explained to him moving towards the long table that was in the center of the room.

The dark one clicked his tongue putting his fingers together. "Ah yes I recognize the princess's name. She and King George's son are supposed to wed through a deal I help arrange. But that doesn't explain why you've tried to steal from me."

"I am here because I am a threat to my kingdom." Placing my freehand on the table my palm turned red and I could feel the magic running through my fingertips. The cabinet behind me that had seen through glass suddenly shattered into a million pieces at my feet. "I have an uncontrollable amount of power even though neither of my parents were born with magic."

He nodded, waving his fingers at me. "And you needed my dagger to force me to help you control it."

"I do apologize, Rumplestilskin. I wouldn't dare steal from someone who is declared so powerful if I was not so desperate for a solution to this. I wish to help my mother free my father from his golden prison but I can't do that if this ability or curse isn't kept at bay."

"Magic is not always a curse, Red Thief." He stepped closer to me snapping his fingers and a silver dagger appeared in his grasp. He showed me that his name was engraved on the blade. "I will help you if you choose to embrace your power."

I fired back knowing the rumors that members across kingdoms had spread about him. He used only dark magic and was notorious for making deals with the most desperate types of people. "What do you want in return from me? I know you always want something back for a price."

"I'll enchant your cloak given that I do rather like the color red on you. Once it is enchanted you and I will be connected consciously. You will help me with my deals and the customers that are connected with them."

"What do you mean like if someone breaks a deal with you you'll make me kill them?" I questioned hearing the darkness in his voice.

Rumplestilskin smirked. "I'll decide what fate I wish to bestow on them. Now do you accept my offer or not?"

"I don't know if I can go through with this, Dark One. Ahhh!" I screamed bumping into one of the curtain covered windows seeing my palm turn red again but this time the curtain caught on fire.

Rumple snickers at me. "It appears you don't have any other option here, Red Thief."

"My name is Everly." I corrected him even though I probably shouldn't since he could turn me into a bug and kill me easily if he so wished.

He stepped closer where I shifted the hood of my cloak since it was blocking my view. Our eyes met and I could see he had deep brown eyes. "So long as you work for me I can call you whatever I wish. Unless you think you can find help through someone else."

"I suppose I will. So I'll take your deal." Extending my hand I paused unsure if I would hurt him if I touched him.

He grasps my small hand in his larger one. "We have a deal, Red Thief."

Resting my chin in the palm of my hand I kept scanning my eyes over the paperwork that was in front of me. I had been doing the storage inventory for the pawnshop for as long as I could remember. In my opinion every object had a story that needed to be told rather than just sitting in the dusty old store. But that wasn't what my boss believed. He thinks there's a price of money for everything. "Let's see the unicorn chandelier, tea set and red cloak are all accounted for. Wait red cloak, I didn't see that here."

"It has to be here. It has to be here. If it isn't he will dock my pay." I frantically began searching around every cabinet in the shop not finding the piece of clothing anywhere.

The store bell rang making me shriek running back to my desk in the back room trying to play it cool. The curtain got pushed open and Mr. Gold stepped inside the room. "How has the inventory gone tonight?"

"Uh, pretty good. How was your walk?" I asked him tapping my fingers on the desk nervously, hoping he didn't notice.

His brown, almost chocolate eyes focused on my gaze. "You seem nervous, Eve. Any particular reason why?"

"No reason. Just wishing to be done with work for the evening, sir." I lied to him.

He sent me a half smile revealing a bag from behind his back in his other hand that wasn't holding onto the cane he used to walk with since he had a limp. "It wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that you realized this was missing?" He drew something from the bag and I gasped seeing a red cloak fall down while he held it up in front of me.

"I....I....um. Sir, I am sorry. I thought I had accounted for everything. I don't know how it ever left the shop." I began panicking, running my fingers through my hair that I had left loosely.

Mr. Gold chuckles breaking the intense silence that I was feeling in the pit of my stomach. "Calm down, lass. I saw that it was dirty so I took it to the cleaners. Figured it should look in better shape before I gave it to you."

"Oh god that's a relief." Putting a hand over my forehead I sighed in relief. "Wait a minute. Give it to me, why would you do that?"

Gold moved forward offering me his freehand after he laid it on my desk briefly. Putting my hand in his I allowed him to help me get to my feet. "I saw that it was your size from the looks of it one day. And no one in this town has claimed it so I thought it shouldn't go to waste. May I?" He gestured holding it up and opened it in his hands.

"Sure...thank you this wasn't really necessary." I turned around putting my back to his front feeling him place the fabric on my shoulders.

Gold smiled when I spun around so he could clasp the front pins together. "Perfect fit, dear. Just like I had thought. Now don't you worry about paying me for it. It's on the house."

"Thank you, sir." I smiled looking up to meet his gaze since he was slightly taller than me.

He waved a finger in my face grabbing a hold of his cane prepared to leave to collect the town's rent. "I told you to either call me Adam or just Gold. Now come, we have money to collect."

"Understand, Gold." I nodded wearing the red cloak since it was quite cold outside. I followed after my boss and we drove out to our stops finding leaving the inn as our final one for the evening.

Granny, the owner of the inn, spoke as we walked up the wooden stairs. "Now, what's the name?"

Opening the door, Gold and I came face to face with a blonde woman wearing a bright red jacket that I had never seen before in this town. Meaning she must be someone new which hadn't happened for 28 years if I had done my math correctly. The woman spoke her name, giving me a name to go with the new face. "Swan. Emma Swan."

Gold responds to her squeezing my hand in his and I could have sworn I heard him say something else but in a completely different voice. "Emma. What a lovely name....Red Thief."

"Did you hear someone say Red Thief?" Looking at my boss I raised a brow at him confusedly swearing that I had heard something.

He shrugged his shoulders not saying anything yet I saw some light in his eyes where he had recognized something in this room but just wasn't going to share it with me. He shifted his gaze over to the elderly woman. Granny passes Mr. Gold a roll of bills. "It's all here."

"Yes, yes, of course it is, dear. Thank you. You enjoy your stay...Emma." Gold put it away in his suit pocket touching the door handle, opening it once more calling out to me. "Eve?"

"I'm coming, sorry." I paused standing behind the blonde woman while I ran my freehand over the red fabric that I was holding on my other arm feeling like I had seen it before.

Shaking my head I pulled myself from the trance that I was in following him outside being able to hear the conversation between the girls still inside. "Who's that?" Emma asked.

Ruby peaked out the window seeing me still standing on the front porch. "Mr. Gold. He owns this place."

"The inn?" Emma asked more.

Granny reached down in the drawer pulling out a key. "No, the town. So, how long will you be with us?

"A week. Just a week." She responded.

Granny handed her the key. "Welcome to Storybrooke."

"So who is the woman that is with him if you don't mind me asking?" Emma held the key in her hands heading towards the staircase to go check out her room.

Rudy closed the curtain focusing on the new women. "I don't know if this is true or not. But most people in this town have only seen her with him. She's worked for him for years. I think she was abducted by him or something."

"Rudy!" Granny snapped at her granddaughter. "What makes you think such a thing?"

The girl put a hand on her hip. "Maybe it's the fact that she doesn't talk to anyone else in this town. She's only ever seen with him or doing small jobs for him. That's just strange to me."

"I'm sorry for my granddaughters crazy theories. Enjoy your time here, Ms. Swan." Granny ended the conversation before things went further. Emma went up the stairs and I ran down the stairs meeting Gold at his old car. We drove past the clock tower and I couldn't believe I saw the hands move.

Comments really appreciated ❤️

Upon landing in a new world - Rumplestiltskin quickly comes to the conclusion that this is a world too dangerous for Belle.

Start reading this fanfic from the start Take me to Chapter 51

Chapter 51: Dragons!

When the ship fell back into the tranquil waters of a new world, Belle eagerly looked around, curious if there was land in sight or anything interesting or curious to see.

The moonlight betrayed very little though. They were in the middle of an ocean, no islands or continents in sight, nothing but water surrounding them, until Belle saw a shadow in front of the moon. Something was approaching them so swiftly and was so large that it made the moonlight on a large part of the ocean shimmer in darkness.

Frowning, she tried to make out the silhouette, until she heard Rumplestiltskin's breathless whisper: “Dragons...”

Hi! I'm Di (but you can also call me Spades), a twenty-something disaster head over heels for Rumbelle (and its variants), Anyelle and Anyem, as well as Robert Carlyle and Emilie De Ravin, of course.

I make gifs (most often), write fanfics and occasionally make fanvids/edits.

This is the blog I made as a place for all the content and all my love for Rumbelle (also Golden Lace, Woven Lace and Woven Beauty, I ship all four, they are all beautiful), Anyelle, Anyem and other works of Bobby and Em, with a side of other OUAT content, as well as my love for the cult 90s tv show Friends, which has become my comfort show, Chandler Bing and Mondler, my second favorite fictional couple after Rumbelle.

—

I ship most Anyelle/Anyem pairs, especially the following*:

Rushbelle (Nicholas Rush/Belle, my beloved ♥ Rush definitely needs a Belle as most of Bobby's characters do, to be quite honest)

Hamelle? MacBelle? what do we call these two cuties? (Hamish Macbeth/Belle, Hamish is one of the first roles of Bobby's I've seen other than Rumple and holds a dear place in my heart... and would also benefit greatly from having Belle in his life, even though I also ship him with Isobel)

Russelle (David Russell/Belle... also ship him with Hiero, because come on!)

Robelle? Morrelle? (Rob Morrison & Belle)

Bellix / Felle (Felix DeSouza/Belle... I also ship him with Hiero, guilty 😅)

Lachelle (Lachlan MacAldonich/Belle)

Sutherelle (Robert Sutherland/Belle)

Develle (Danny Devine/Belle also yes, ship him with Hiero )

Gazelle (Gary "Gaz" Schofield/Belle)

Wirrelle? Belleric? (Eric Wirral/Belle)

Macelle (Father MacAvoy/Belle)

Frankelle? Keanelle? (Frank Keane/Belle)

Plunkelle (Will Plunkett/Belle)

Renelle? (Renard/Belle...)

Although I've unexpectedly started consuming Bobby's filmography again a couple of days ago, so I feel like I might add a couple of ships in the near future 😁

(* I also ship almost every of the listed characters with Lacey)

—

I am ALWAYS O P E N to prompts for Rumbelle, any of its variants and any of the Anyelle/Anyem ships from this page, as well as Mondler, ficlets/moodboards!

I am ALWAYS O P E N to Rumbelle, any of its variants and any of the aforementioned Anyelle/Anyem ships, as well as Mondler, roleplay in Discord – just hit me up in DMs!

I am ALWAYS O P E N to screaming incoherently about our favorite characters/ships in DMs/Discord at 3 am and at any other godly and ungodly hour 😜

[seikilos-stele]

This is one of those questions that I want to ask a lot of authors, because I curious how many answers will be the same (if any)

The the basic premise is Do You Control Fic or Does it Control You?

What I mean by this is broken down into a few sub questions

Do you watch a show or read a book & fic ideas just pop into your head?

Are you watching/reading something and you are unsatisfied with the plot, but love the characters, therefore, set out to fix it?

Do you intend to write fic from the start, so you go in search of inspiration?

Have you ever completely lost interest in the canon, but still love the characters/fic (therefore, no longer revisit the original source of the fic?)

As is usual, this is just a guide. Answer any which way you would like - long answers are always welcome!

Wow, I think all of the above, multiple times!

The first type, where fic ideas just pop into my head — that’s the most difficult to write. I mean, it’s the most difficult to follow through 😆 sometimes I’ll write the ideas down, but once I’ve moved on to the next episode or book, I lose interest. So out of all these, statistically, this is the one you’d see the least.

#2 — setting out to fix it. Of course! I’ve probably written like, hundreds of post-Bilbringi fics and fics set in-between the Legends Thrawn trilogy, where I wished there was more character development with Thrawn and Pellaeon.

#3 — intending to write fic from the start, going in search of inspiration. This, probably more than anything else. When I first started writing on AO3, I made a kind of arbitrary goal to write a fic for everything I read or watched. Luckily when the stakes are that low you can basically just open a blank document and write whatever comes to mind, and it turns out okay — you’re like, “This ain’t my fandom, I’m just strolling through.” You don’t care if people even read it, so you don’t stress about prose or characterization 😆 it’s very nice!

I do this for fandoms I actually like too, because I usually want to write every day, but don’t always have a current idea. So I keep lists of interesting prompts and ideas, that way I never run out of material. Some of them get so stale that I never end up using them, but it’s still nice to have them there!

#4 — this happened with Once Upon a Time. I thought it was a bad show straight from Episode 1, but I loved Robert Carlyle’s character, so I watched it for him. All the way up until Season 3! At that point, Mr. Gold’s character arc was taking too many exhausting dips and turns, and the show wasn’t up to the task of explaining why. I stopped watching, but I kept up to date with the show’s shenanigans, read tons of fics, and wrote somewhere around 40 or 50 myself.

(It’s funny — I did write a few tiny fics BEFORE the show went bad; but it’s only the fics I wrote AFTER that I saved)

There are some great fix-its for that fandom btw 😆 I was also a huge fan of SwanQueen (main character Emma Swan x main villain Regina Mills) but in S3 they introduced a straight romance for Emma that I couldn’t STAND, so I read lots of fix-its for them too. My own fics weren’t really fix-its; they were AUs, almost always hurt/comfort. The show offered us plenty of material for that!

* * *

Maybe also worth mentioning:

1) when you’re reading a nonfiction book, but you’re thinking so hard about your favorite show that you end up with 7 plot bunnies all stemming from that single nonfiction piece that has nothing to do with Star Trek or Gargoyles or—

2) the private fanfics that you never bother to write down but replay in your head with minor tweaks each night before you go to bed. All of them are write-able! Many people would probably like to read them! But they seem somehow off-limits to me 😆 like, no, I’m only allowed to write fics based off stuff I think of in the shower, or at my desk — in bed???

The bell over the shop rang as I opened the door. Rumple looked up with a smile as I headed straight for the counter on the left.

"It's still here right?" I asked, leaning over the glass and looking behind the counter.

"Of course it is." Rumple said, smirking at me. "I told you it would be. So why wouldn't it?" I rolled my eyes at him and made grabby hands at the glass pumpkin behind the counter. “Give me a minute.” Rumple chuckled as he moved behind the stacks of odds and ends he kept in his shop. “Remember, it comes at a price.”

“yeah yeah yeah.” I waved my hand. “I know how retail works rumple.” He took a step back.

“I mean a deal.” He cocked his head.

“yes. The deal is you give me the pumpkin. And I give you money.” I put the cash on the counter and rumple stared at it. “Now gimme.” I reached towards the pumpkin and rumple chuckled.

“If you’re trying to get a rise out of me…” he shook his head.

“is it working?” I asked, dropping my arm onto the counter. I crossed my arms and propped my chin on them, staring up at rumple with a smile. Rumple rolled his eyes and brought the pumpkin over to me. “Yay!” I squealed as I picked it up.

“Keep your money.” Rumple pushed the bills back towards me. “My only request is you stop buying decorations sweetheart.” I looked over at him. He was trying to give me his best puppy dog eyes. “You have enough stuff.”

“Never!” I cheered, holding the pumpkin aloft. “Trust me rumple, you can never have enough Halloween decorations.” I pulled the pumpkin closer and smiled at him as he leaned across the counter to kiss my cheek.

“darling, you are incorrigible.” He smiled. “See you back home?”

“see you back home.” I kissed him softly. “And I make no promises about the decorations.” Rumple chuckled and shook his head as I walked out of his shop.

9 - A Man Named Jefferson

Princess Red Thief

Part 10

Tag list - just ask to be added @mystrey101 @melvia-ito @kmc1989 @tallrock35

Blinking my eyes a couple of times I groaned trying to wake up. Slowly glancing around the room I saw I was in the back room of the pawnshop. Shifting my body up further on the old cot I heard the wooden floor creak under someone's feet. "Eve! You're awake."

"Henry. What are you doing here?" Rubbing my eyes to wake myself up more I saw the ten year old boy enter the room.

He answered me. "I heard you being locked up in the hospital until Mr. Gold bailed you out."

"Yeah. Where is Mr. Gold exactly?" I questioned the kid.

Henry came over to my bedside reaching inside his backpack. "He's out with Regina for some reason. So we don't have much time to talk with somebody you need to meet."

"Henrh, I just woke up. I am not really in the mood to meet someone right now." I sat upright holding a hand to my forehead struggling to push away some pain that must have been caused from all the drugs they pushed into my system.

He held open his storybook to a certain page. "But what if I told you there's someone else in this town that has been seeing things just like you."

"And that person in your book would be?" I trailed off scanning my eyes over the book pages seeing a man surrounded with over a dozen hats.

Henry taped a finger on the image. "The Mad Hatter. He goes by Jefferson here."

"Henry...I. You need to leave before he gets back. He doesn't care for unwanted visitors inside his shop." I warned the ten year old.

He didn't back down, shoving his book back inside the bag. He holds out his hands waiting for me to put my hand in his and follow him willingly like I normally did before I was locked away. "Please Eve. You'll start to believe me once you talk with him. I swear."

"Fine, kid. But this doesn't mean I believe you." I put my hands in his getting to my feet and together we slipped outside of the pawnshop in search of where this Jefferson man lived. "Henry, why do you think I will believe before Emma?"

He kept walking, sending me a half smile. "Because you follow your heart more than what your mind tells you." I parted my lips considering what he was saying to me in the moment.

The double doors shut behind me with two guards shutting them. I had decided to keep living in my parents castle which wasn't too far from the Charming castle. My short brown boots clicked against the stone floor until I stood at the edge of the round table to meet Snow. "Everly. I was hoping I'd see you."

"My parents aren't worried about me. Honestly they trust me when it comes to helping y'all with your kingdom. You're glowing by the way." I sent her a smile pulling out one of the chairs near hers.

She was sitting down in one of the head chairs, leaning her elbows on the table. "Thank you, Eve. Your letter said that you wanted to talk with me about something."

"Indeed I do wish to. I've been having certain feelings lately and since we are friends I was hoping we could talk about them." I twiddled my thumbs together on the table.

Snow asked sweetly. "Of course. Is this about a guy?"

"Is it that obvious?"

She nods, chuckling. "I'm sorry to say yes. Besides it's not like I don't remember you saying you always had teaching lessons to return to."

"Oh geeesss." Covering my face with my hands I was blushing like a red tomato.

Snow clasped her hands together. "So who is the stranger you are getting lessons from?"

"It's magic lessons. The man I'm getting taught by is named Rumplestilskin." Heavy silence fell across the large room with an intense feeling falling between the two of us. Everyone in the land generally knew his name and what kind of magic he dabbled in.

"Everly, he...he uses dark magic."

"I know that." I said back. "But I am needing his help to teach me how to control the power that I was born with. Neither of my parents have magic, yet I somehow got it."

"You have feelings for him, don't you. Why else would you be defending the teachings he is showing you." Snow put the pieces together with a smirk on her lips.

"Maybe I do. What do I do about it?" I asked the other princess in the room.

The former bandit princess got up from her chair and I rose to my feet standing up in front of her. "In my experience you just have to follow whatever your heart tells you."

"Even when the person you care about might not feel the same." I knitted my brows at her, wrapping my father’s red cloak tightly around my body.

Snow takes my hands in hers showing me the wedding ring from her Prince Charming. "That's a risk that we each have to take when we love someone. Never stop following your heart, Everly."

"Henry, are you sure we're not breaking and entering? It doesn't even look like he's here. Emma is the sheriff now and I wish to not be placed inside a prison cell anytime soon." Looking around at the area outside the mansion front door. He had pulled out some set of keys he had taken from his mother's office that could open any door.

He pushed one of the keys in the hole and it unlocked with the door swinging open. "We'll be fine. He believes everything about my book. Now come on. Jefferson!" Henrik walks into the house and I follow after him seeing that it was almost pitch black inside giving the creepy loner type guy vibes to me.

"Henry. Henry, wait we can't just - mmm!" I grunted my fighting instincts kicking in when one hand wrapped around my waist and the other hand clasped over my mouth before the front door slammed shut behind me.

A man's voice growled in my ear. "Did anyone follow you?"

"No." I mumbled the best reply I could trying to remove the stranger's hand.

The man removed his hands from my body, spinning me around to face him. "So you're the famous Red Thief who falls in love with the Dark One."

"You've read the story too." I made a confused expression.

The guy named Jefferson responded. "It's more than just a story and his storybook is more than just a book."

"It can't be more than a book. None of those stores are real. I know they are simply just stories." I shake my head thinking back on why I got put in the mental hospital in the first place.

Henry spoke up behind me heading down the hallway. "She's a little slow, Jefferson. That's why I brought her to you. So she'll wake up like you have." Jefferson grabs a hold of my arm dragging me after the young boy until we entered a room filled with hats that all matched the familiar hat the Mad Hatter would have worn.

"You've obviously got an obsession with Alice in Wonderland."

"He's the Mad Hatter, Eve." Henry declares sitting the book on the table, opening it to the page he had shown me back in the shop.

Jefferson pushed me down in the chair with the book laying in front of my face. He flipped through some pages stopping at one photo that showed Rumplestilskin holding up a ring. The woman who wore a red cloak that looked like the one I owned stood in front of him. "Look at the picture and tell me if you recognize anything."

"Jefferson, Henry has already tried this with me once before. It didn't work then, it won't work now." Shifting around in the chair I eyed the man.

Jefferson rounded the table to be on the other side grabbing my chin in between his thumb and index finger so I'd look him in the eye. "Use your power and look into my mind. Then you'll see what I'm saying is the only truth you need to believe."

"Look into your mind. That's not possible."

Jefferson declared not backing down. "You have to open your mind, Red Thief."

"You're losing your mind, Jefferson." Pushing myself away from him he let go of my chin. Stomping towards the doorway about to leave I halted in my tracks grabbing a hold of the doorway when he spoke up about my past.

"You couldn't pay your rent when you first came here. So you made a deal with Mr. Gold. Take my ring and I'll work for you, you said."

Glancing out the corner of my eye I asked. "How do you know about that? He swore he'd never say anything."

"Because it's almost the exact same deal you made with Rumplestilskin after he agreed to teach you magic. You are Princess Everly, daughter of Abigail and Fredrick." Henry stands by the edge of the table.

Shutting my eyes I pushed back the desire to believe them. I couldn't be a princess. I couldn't have magic and the town couldn't all be cursed. Otherwise I belonged back in the mental hospital. "Henry, I'm sorry but all your saying is nonsense."

"It won't all be nonsense once you look for the necklace inside his suit jacket and...." Jefferson trailed off in thought.

Turning around in my boots I dared to ask the question. "And what Jefferson?"

"And you'll believe us when you find the ring in his possession." The man who truly thought he was the Mad Hatter answered my question, sitting one of his hats on top of his head smiling wickedly at me. Henry remained silent and simply nodded in agreement. "As close to his heart as it could possibly be."

Comments really appreciated ❤️

Belle and Chi arrive at their destination and make a new friend.

Start reading this fanfic from the start Take me to Chapter 54

Chapter 54: The Strong Stranger

As Chi had predicted, their trip to Corinth took about two full days. Belle could hardly feel her feet by the time they arrived – it also didn't help that she'd switched to sandals the last day, and those were not a type of shoes she was used to.

In the afternoon, they'd found a market in a tiny town where they had sold animals, tools, food, sandals and tunics and dresses. Belle had picked a maroon red long dress and some sandals. The dress was called a chiton, and while most men wore a short version of it, she'd picked a long variety.

She'd received a few curious gazes before she'd changed outfit, but folks had kept a respectful distance and not inquired about her origins. Thankfully, nobody had bothered to ask Chi either to remove his hood or anything of the sort. Even if he was completely overdressed in this heat, folks were a bit reluctant to speak to strangers, and Belle and Chi were glad for it.

Belle had also bought some food at the market, some freshly cooked fish along with some apples for the journey. The fresh fish had been delicious, and it had lifted her spirits for the rest of the evening.

They arrived the next morning at the borders of the city of Corinth, and Chi's enthusiasm could hardly be contained. He walked even faster towards his cave, and Belle tried not to wince from the blisters on her feet as she tried to keep up with his little sprint.

How did you and your wife meet? And Happy Birthday!

Thank you!

I love telling the story of Kelyon and @wayamy27narf.

We met on Tumblr, because of Rumbelle. I have always found it funny that two women fell in love because of our mutual thirst for Robert Carlyle. Sharing smutty fanfic is an... interesting way to start a relationship. It's also fun because I have no idea when was the first time either of us said "I love you." We were fandom friends, so being effusive about our enthusiasm was just par for the course. Before we had feelings for each other, we had FEELS with each other.

And over time, we had more conversations about things that weren't fanfiction, including that we lived less than two hours away from each other. (I'm sure everyone understands how rare that is with internet friends.) We met in person a few times, and got even closer as totally platonic horny friends. In time, it came out (ha) that my now-wife had never been kissed. And I resolved that I would kiss this girl, because she deserved for her first kiss to be with someone who loved her. (You know, platonically.)

Spoiler alert: We were not platonic. Neither of us ever looked back.

(same anon) I love ouat mostly because I love bad tv but also because the first season was genuinely good but it feels like it becomes a completely different show as soon as robert carlyle is on the screen like the genre completely changes...? it feels like an edgy fanfic au for a sexy younger angsty character but he's an average older dude who they're deliberately making up to be 10x more ugly and obnoxious than he is irl and the character is rumplestiltskin of all people? like it feels like they're sexualising some random gremlin

^^^^ season 1 was good and i really liked season 2 but you're so right it literally transformed into a different show when they realised rumpelstiltskin could be used for some mean older man is fixed by a younger woman stuff and its sooo insane because they decided this. with rumpelstiltskin. instead of using beast they made rumpelstiltskin beast this is so insane to me im kind of obsessed with it

MORE THAN LOVE

Love was cruel,

as I stood proud;

he showed me you

and I was bowed.

He deftly dealt

his swiftest blow-

I fell further than,

I was meant to go.

And he ashamed,

of what he'd caused,

knew from then,

that I was yours.

That he, an echo

and you, the sound-

I loved you more

than Love allowed.

- Lang Leav

I'm not looking for love, he'd said, and now (no matter how true that claim had been at the time) it had come back to bite him in the ass...

Short fic based on this beautiful poem :)
