What are your favorite rumbelle/anyelle fics💖

Oooh, let's take a look! (see if you can figure out the *things* that I like):

Nippy by Brillador: in which Belle's choice of outfit necessitates a little warming up

Nothing but the Truth by Emospritelet: Belle and Rumple make a deal and an erotic dream comes true

Ladder by whereismygarden: there no better way to use the infamous ladder, imho

and of course:

Twenty Minutes Can Change Your Life by ThatRavenclawBitch (a remix of the also wonderful A Twist in Time): maybe my all time favourite rumbelle fic. All my favourite tropes in one neat package! Just read all of her stuff actually, it's all excellent.

As far as anyelle goes, I'm relatively new to reading fic in this catagory. But I must strongly recommend anything and everything by the incomparable @beeeinyourbonnet including:

Covetous (nostelle with the tiniest hint of macelle): just the sweetest exploration of a complicated relationship

The Beginning of a New Book (bellish): Belle is on the run from a troubling past and assumes a new identity in a certain little town in the Scottish highlands

Unbowed (develle and, intriguingly and horrifyingly, ivelle): Belle is in a vulnerable position in her life and Danny is down bad.

Now let's hope I did all of this formatting correctly! Enjoy!

I was tagged by the lovely @lodessa

Here’s a snippet from the Rumbelle fic I said I wasn’t gonna post until it was done, but now I’m probably gonna start posting tonight:

Belle sucked in a surprised gasp through her nose. Her lungs ached, her muscles were stiff, and there was a quickly-fading burning sensation in her chest.

Most alarming of all, someone was kissing her.

Her eyes snapped open. Immediately, her entire body relaxed. It was Donovan, kissing her awake like something out of a fairy tale. His whisky-brown eyes shone with tears in the bright fluorescent light.

Exhaustion pulled at her, making her eyelids flutter. All she wanted to do was lose herself in the press of his lips to hers.

@emospritelet, this one's for you! Penance, The Long Game, the many RumRushBelle stories, the Christmas fluffs, and so much more!

i think theres this idea in the general public that the "best" fanfic gets turned into real books like 50 shades of grey. but the truth is that the best fanfic can never be published as an actual book because its intricately woven into the canon material so its inseparable even if you change the names
