Dark!Rumbelle Fic Recs

Golden Cuffs by @kelyon. This is like... dark smut. Like BDSM and lots of psychological introspection on it. The sequel is set in Season 1 and pre-Season 1 Storybrooke and explores Gold and Lacey in such a setting. It's definitely got a dark romance sort of vibe.

Nothing is Innocent by @0ceanofdarkness. "The Dark One seeks his son in a land without magic, but he must obtain an elusive beast before the Dark Curse that will take him there can be cast."

Pride and Other Poisons by Hikari_no_Chibi. A Dark Victorian Rumbelle AU. "Gold is haunted by the First Carlist War, and Belle embodies everything he hates from his past. Expectations will crumble like the foundations of an old house, and it will be up to them to build something new on the rubble. Rated M for violence and substance abuse."

Shadow Manor by @suchadearie. "Mr. Gold sets out to find himself a wife that will bear him an heir for his estate. But his marriage to Belle French turns out to be a little more complicated than the mere business arrangement he had in mind."

Trading for Touch by @suchadearie. Set in cursed!SB, Belle enters into a "sordid" relationship of sorts with Mr Gold.

@suchadearie in general wrote a lot of fics where Belle and Gold have a sort of dark-ish dynamic.

In the Blood by Megara Bee. A vampire AU. "Belle French will never be able to settle her father's debts; of that she is certain. But she is hopeful that Mr. Gold, the most feared creature in Storybrooke, will accept her blood in trade. Unfortunately for her, he has something much more devious in mind…" Warning for sexual content that might not be everyone's cup of tea.

Endless by @mareyshelley. Vampire AU. "Unable to pass up the opportunity to attend one of Storybrooke’s annual balls, Belle finds herself drawn to the old manor’s library and her unusual host."

Honestly most of her fics have a dark vibe I really like, so I would recommend anything she's written.

The Haunted Man by @nerdrumple. "When her father tries to arrange a marriage for her, Belle decides to take fate into her own hands - but seeking the help of Mr. Gold is its own winding, mysterious path. Gothic Romance Rumbelle AU."

Will update this Rec List as I remember new fics. Hope it helps anon!

[goldenwingediris]

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!

[beeeinyourbonnet]

Do you have any non explicit rumbelle fic recs (either your own or other ppls!) 👀👀👀👀

Ahhhhh okay yes I do! I'm only including completed works except The Black Swan, I think, which is still waiting for an epilogue iirc. There are certainly more out there but this is what I could think of off the top of my head:

The Black Swan by Deliriumsdelight Don't Feed the Plants by Bad_Faery The A Crown of Roses series by marchionessofblackadder (one of them is explicit but the others aren't!) Plain Jane by Luthien

And then I've got: Rumbelle IT Crowd Treatment Handprints Butterfly Kisses

[depressedstressedlemonzest]

Kinda sucks being late to the rumbelle party because I want to write some fics but the ones I wanna do seem like they've already been done several times over.

[personinthepalace]

@princessamonrae wrote this beautiful fic based on this gorgeous fanart!! Highly recommend for everyone to check it out!! 💜

Eu fiz essas ilustrações durante o Dia dos Namorados de 2022, eu amo demais esse projeto! "Uma moça inteligente e determinada, que para salvar seu pai de uma dívida, vai trabalhar na mansão de um jovem veterano da Segunda Guerra, recluso e amargurado pelas cicatrizes em seu rosto devido ao campo de batalha." >>> I made these during brazilian's Valentine's Day 2022, and I love it so much! "An intelligent and determined lady, to save her father from a debt, decides to work on a manor of a young, World War II vet, recluse and bitter due to the scars in his face caused by the battlefield."

[cartoonjessie]

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💗

Oooh!!!! Thanks lunar, much appreciated. <3

Only five? XD Fine. I'll make a randomish selection out of my finished fanfics.

I'll put it under a cut - there's drawings and images of Rumbelle (OUAT), Reyux (Star Wars), Hooked Wayfinder (Moana) and Reylo (Star Wars) too - just click the titles to be taken to the stories

The Bus Lovers - Rumbelle (OUAT - Christmas vibes!)

Until miss French arrived in Storybrooke, mister Gold's daily bus trips were rather uneventful. But Gold has to admit that he is quite taken by the foreign beauty... If only it wasn't so unusual to talk to strangers on the bus!

(art by the wonderful nia-nita - so cute!)

Comatose - Reyux (Star Wars)

Peace has returned to the galaxy. The First Order is no more. Hux barely survived, and has spent years in an unconscious state, in a bacta tank in a remote hospital, but then Rey comes along. She's ready to dive into his subconscious mind to find a much-coveted code that would help her allies. But is she ready to face the cruelest man in the galaxy, if only in his dreams?

(art by the amazing lauvamp)

Love is Just a Game - Hooked Wayfinder (Moana)

[Modern Day Hooked Wayfinder AU] When couchsurfing globetrotter Maui meets backpacking student Moana in the Harrods store in London, they are complete strangers in a part of the world that is unfamiliar to them both. Circumstances lead to them participating in a prestigious Valentine’s Day competition, pretending to be lovers, just for laughs. But when they actually win a holiday together, they learn that playing pretend that they’re in a relationship isn’t as hard as they thought it would be.

(art bythe stellar pandacapuccino)

The Fifth Gem - Rumbelle (Once Upon a Time) with a hint of Jasfar

Over the past years, Queen Regina has tried to obtain all Gems of Life – some by trade, others by violence and war. With the fifth and final gem almost in her grasp, the people of the Empire and Agrabah are desperate to hold onto theirs. In order to stop Regina, they need to learn her weaknesses, and to do so, they need a spy. Enter Belle, who they set up to go and spy on the Queens’ most loyal ally – Rumplestiltskin. She fears she may not be up to the task… But little does she know that she might actually save the world… and the Dark One himself.

(edit by me)

Dreamers - Reylo (Star Wars)

When young Ben Solo dreams of a girl who is able to calm his anxious dreams, he does not believe her to be real - until she asks for his help. In order to find her, he will need his family's assistance. But are they ready for the truth that these two young Force-users will be able to unravel together?

(More art by the brilliant pandacapuccino)

This was so sweet, the perfect hurt/comfort fic.

[leaveitalonesky]

Fic Mondays #1 - Sep/24 week 1

ok, so this is a thing I'm trying to make where every week I do a compilation of fics I've read. Since this is the first one I'm doing like a favorite fics kind of thing

How Two Become Three - Chapter 1 - nikonic - Criminal Minds (US TV) [Archive of Our Own]

Fandom: Criminal Minds Ship: Jemily/Reader (poly) Why I rec it: This is the first work in a LONG series (like, really long. Don't know how the author does it). The series varies a lot from angst, to smut, to fluff. I think this author does a really good job portraying and talking about triggering topics. And I absolutely love the consent and kink conversations throughout the stories. I recommend subscribing to the series or the author to get updates, since it's still being updated regularly.

Love Comes Quietly - Chapter 1 - Kattwyllie - Criminal Minds (US TV) [Archive of Our Own]

Fandom: Criminal Minds Ship: Alex Blake/Reader Why I rec it: This is a very sweet roommates turned lovers. I like the writing, and I love the pacing of this fic.

Safety - Chapter 1 - DemonOfPuns - Biohazard | Resident Evil (Gameverse) [Archive of Our Own]

Fandom: Resident Evil Village Ship: Alcina Dimitrescu/Reader (at some point reader becomes an original character) Why I rec it: The smut is 10/10, but the development of the relationship both between Sasha and Alcina; but also Sasha and the daughters is one of the cutest things I've read. I think this is one of my favorite fanfics of all time. It's long, it's got a good amount of angst; a good amount of fluff and the smut is sensational.

show me where it hurts - Chapter 1 - andromedusia - The Morning Show (TV 2019) [Archive of Our Own]

Fandom: The Morning Show Ship: Alex Levy/Maggie Brener Why I rec it: This is a masterpiece. It changed the chemistry of my brain and it changed me forever. Not only that, but I feel like there's a scene in this one that if it was canon it would've been an award winning scene.

far from broken - gleamin - The Morning Show (TV 2019) [Archive of Our Own]

Fandom: The Morning Show Ship: LAMB Why I rec it: This is so soft, and so cute. And a beautiful portrait of LAMB as a poly ship. This one changed my brain too, because you know what it made me see Bradley and Maggie differently.

com letras douradas, num papel bonito - jenhardings - The Morning Show (TV 2019) [Archive of Our Own]

Fandom: The Morning Show Ship: Alex Levy/Maggie Brener Why I rec it: The song this fic is based gives the perfect prompt. It's angsty and also kind of sweet at the same time.

Golden Cuffs - Chapter 1 - Kelyon - Once Upon a Time (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

Fandom: Once Upon a Time Ship: Rumpelstiltskin/Belle Why I rec it: This is a heavy-BDSM story. It's been a while since I've read it, to be honest with you. But I remember liking it a lot. And yes, this is probably the only fic with a f/m ship. I'm really not a fan of straight ships, I don't read fanfiction of them cause we usually have a lot of canon stuff. But rumbelle had some of the most amazing writers in a fandom, and to be honest, I'm sure there will be more fics of this ship in later editions of fic mondays.

the wine, the women, the bedroom hymns - asexualizing (Specialcookies) - Abbott Elementary (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

Fandom: Abbott Elementary Ship: Ava/Melissa/Barbara Why I rec it: This is the best use of a soulmate au scenario in a fic. By far; it's absolutely genius. Just go read it, do yourself that favor. (It's a bit angsty though, be warned.)

what will the signal be for your eyes to see me - TechnicolorRevel - Doctor Who (2005) [Archive of Our Own]

Fandom: Doctor Who Ship: Thirteen Doctor/Yasmin Khan Why I rec it: This is another BDSM story, although not heavy. This one is beautiful, the characters are so well written in this.

a taste of infinity - Linnea_Ancalime - Doctor Who (2005) [Archive of Our Own]

Fandom: Doctor Who Ship: Thirteen Doctor/Reader Why I rec it: One of the few x reader with non binary reader. It's smut, very soft. Delicious stuff.

[killingkueen]

This is a fascinating story. I had no idea what Rush was talking about but I am not a Math Person, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I believe he knows what he’s talking about, they absolutely cracked the magic.

Belle and Rush sure do get on like a house on fire. I’m sure Rumple would have liked Rush 👀 had he given him a chance 👀👀 (probably best they kept their distances tho, Belle can only do so much 😂🙈)

Theorems and Thorns

Theorems and Thorns (8100 words) by Eilinelithil Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Once Upon a Time (TV), Stargate Universe Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Belle/Rumplestiltskin | Mr. Gold Characters: Belle (Once Upon a Time), Rumplestiltskin | Mr. Gold, Nicholas Rush Additional Tags: Rumbelle Secret Santa 2024 Summary: When a stranger arrives at the Dark Castle, he disrupts more than just the laws of magic. His presence creates an intellectual and emotional triangle with Belle and Rumplestiltskin, as all three discover that matters of the heart follow neither scientific laws nor magical rules.

My 2024 Rumbelle Secret Santa gift for @janiquebeingcreative

****

Belle looked up as a thud sounded, loud enough to be heard within the walls of the Dark Castle, as though something heavy had just fallen to the ground from high above. It was followed by a much less audible groan.

“Probably just the snow falling from the roof,” Rumple’s singsong, impish voice, and wrinkled up nose was dismissive.  As he spoke another moan sounded from outside the window.

“Snow does not—” she set down her book and gestured toward the window as the sound came again, accompanied this time by a muffled curse - a very coarse curse, as a matter of fact.

“Quite,” Rumplestiltskin frowned as he set down his spinning and, rising, stepped away from the wheel.

Belle stood too, smoothing down her skirts, and turned to take a step toward the doors of the great hall.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Rumplestiltskin’s voice brought her up short, and she turned back to him with a frown on her face.

“To find out who just… fell into our back yard,” she said determinedly. “They could be hurt.”

“They could be dangerous,” Rumple purred, stepping right up to her, close enough to pick an invisible spec of dirt from the shoulder of her gown as he circled to put himself between her and the door. “Then what would you do?”

“I don’t expect I’d have time to do anything at all,” she answered tersely, turning to face him again, before she reached out a hand to begin easing him out of her path, adding, “before you use your magic to turn him into the gods know what.”

She began an almost fierce march for the doors then, not looking back to see the wryly amused expression on the Dark One’s face.

“Snail,” he murmured. “It’s usually a snail.”

He snapped his fingers and Belle started slightly as his magic swirled around her, and suddenly she found herself not only wearing her cloak, but also standing before a mound of newly fallen, moaning snow that was barely covering a strangely dressed man.

From behind her, his breath hot again her cheek, Rumplestiltskin whispered archly, “And I usually stomp on them.”
