where are the men who yearn. where are the men who ponder. where are the men with depth. where are the men who find parallels. where are the men who love from their barest instinct. where are the men with whimsy. where are the men with certainty. where are the men who will cut their own heart out in face of your honour. where are the men

~A Deal With Destiny ~

🗡Chapter 4: Those Who Wander🗡

✨️Available Now on Ao3✨️

Summary:

As Aislinn and Rumplestiltskin venture further into the forest, the shadows of the wilds seem to close in around them. The uneasy partnership between the two begins to shift as moments of tension—and connection—bubble to the surface. Aislinn grapples with doubts about her own strength, while Rumplestiltskin’s sharp wit and enigmatic demeanor hint at a complexity she can't quite unravel. Their journey takes a sudden, perilous turn when they are ambushed by a band of ruthless bandits. Aislinn’s courage and resourcefulness are put to the test as she finds herself forced to fight for her life. Meanwhile, Rumplestiltskin's magic unfurls like a double-edged sword, a reminder of the power he wields and the darkness that clings to him.

Preview:

There was something about Aislinn that stirred long-forgotten feelings within him. She wasn’t just a curiosity or a fleeting diversion. She was magnetic, enigmatic, like an unseen force pulling him closer despite every instinct screaming at him to turn away. From the moment he had first seen her, he had felt it—a pull he couldn’t explain. And as much as he tried to fight it, her presence had begun to thaw the bitter frost in his chest, filling the empty spaces with something dangerously close to hope.

He could have ended this distraction. A single spell could speed their journey, bring them to the scroll, and set his plans in motion. But he hadn’t. Every fiber of his being seemed to rebel against the idea. Instead, he lingered, savoring the moments in her company, craving them even as he cursed his own foolishness. He felt like a madman, his sanity unraveling with every passing hour. And still, he couldn’t stop himself from watching her every move, searching her every glance, as if trying to unravel the mystery of whether she felt it too—this unspoken connection, fragile yet consuming.

What madness was this, he wondered, to entertain the impossible notion that someone like her could ever see anything but the monster he had become?

something about hozier doing a more somber and romantic cover of “do i wanna know” has really altered my brain chemistry. it’s so full of yearning and heartfelt surrender i wish he was real 😔

BRING BACK THE YEARNINGG

I NEED IT

One thing golden era Wattpad writers had going for them was that they knew the importance of a buildup. I'm of the opinion that the sexual tension is WAY more satisfying to read than the actual sex and quite frankly there is a serious lack of non smutty writing.

Like I really miss reading fics/ x readers that start from scratch. Meeting the characters, initial reactions getting to know them, the tension the jealousy the TENSION the freaking tension.

Looking and looking away when they get spotted, touches that feel like they linger but perhaps they didn't and they're both so hot for each other that they think it's wishful thinking. And I don't mean just sweet sunshine romances, darker works can have a buildup too but it seems like so much is just about getting to the smut instead of the psychological aspect.

Bring back the build up!!!!!!!

you’re in their dm’s but i’m sending them love letters to their window by pigeon, checkmate.

[random-n-a-m-e]

someone edit them to “would you fall in love with me again” right NEOW

when the trope is two characters who were lovers in a past life but only one of them remembers. DARE I SAY GAVIN AND FREELANCER?

Imagine Gavin realizing that all of his previous lovers have been the reincarnation of the same person. Even after they die he keeps finding the Freelancer again and again.

How do I resist the urge to immediately spill my guts to ppl in efforts to get to know them better. How do I gradually make a friendship go from casual to the “oh she knows everything about me, we’re inseparable!” type if I need to feel a strong emotional from the other in order to WANT to keep the friendship going in the first place
