Fic: Care and Caress
Title: Care and Caress
Rating: R/NC-17
Summary: Rumpelstiltskin arrives home battered and bruise, and what can Belle do but look after him?
—-
Rumpelstiltskin was the Dark One.
Everyone in the Realms knew that. They sang songs and told ghost stories about his mottled, scaly skin and claws stained with his enemies’ blood. About how he stole and tortured and killed his way through every kingdom he came across, and how even the Evil Queen of the Forestlands bent her knee to him.
Fic: Saturday Morning Redux
Title: Saturday Morning Redux
Rating: PG-13
Summary: He has to see her one last night, one last time, before the end of their world.
A/N: It feels a little strange to leave a series that was basically a sex story on such an innocent note, but this was the only way it could finish, really. This is the chronological end of the Time of Day series, which is kind of a milestone for me. This story comes after Friday Afternoon, chronologically.
—-
He was standing outside Belle’s house at five in the morning.
He couldn’t knock, or call, or throw a stone like he had once upon a time. He wouldn’t do that to her.
Fic: Shells
Title: Shells
Rating: PG-13
Summary: This time, he is not the one who does the breaking. Spoilers for 2x12, ‘In The Name Of The Brother’.
——
He’s the one who cracks, breaks, shatters his treasures on the floor.
He is far from careless, of course, Rumpelstiltskin prides himself on being meticulous, in fact. But he is the one who does the breaking: Belle is supposed to be the one person in all the worlds who can put things back together. He is the burn and she is the balm.
accio-firewhiskey asked: agnstify: peaches
Belle was starving.
She knew the stories, of course, of what could happen to captured women who ate the food in front of them. Rumpelstiltskin must have heard her screaming his name by now, he would come soon. And she needed nothing to keep her captive in this cell, nothing more than the chains about her wrists, and the locked iron door.
But four days in, a basket of peaches rested before her feet. And she was so hungry, so very very hungry, that she gave in, and ravenously tore at their flesh, gulping down the juices and tearing them apart with her hands and her teeth.
When she was done, she sat back on her heels, sick to her stomach and disgusted with herself. The Queen was cackling through the mirror, Belle could hear it, and she counted the peach pits with shaking hands.
Twelve. One for every month.
She’d be here for all of the year, every year, and she sank back in despair, horrified. The fruit felt as binding as any curse, as any iron chains, and for the one and only time in her long captivity, Belle curled up on her hard bed, and wept.
Fic: Stranger (4/6)
AU: Belle remembers everything about their old life, and finally gains freedom from her asylum prison. But Rumpelstiltskin is nowhere to be found: in his place is an oblivious pawnbroker who is as cursed as everyone else in Storybrooke.
Chapter 1 - Chapter 2 - Chapter 3 - Chapter 4

Stranger
Chapter 4
—-
Ten days, she promises, and what days they are.
He’d been wrong, it seems, about Belle not staying for the after. In fact, it seems she has suddenly woken up, life and energy sparking from her fingertips, and the very air in their house is alive with her, shimmering and bright.
Fic: Of All The Taverns
Title: Of All The Taverns
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Rumpelstiltskin just wants to be a poor, anonymous beggar in a bar: he never thought he would find anyone there who could recognise him.
A/N: Set in the tavern scene of 2x11, ‘The Outsider’
—-
Rumpelstiltskin has never hidden who or what he is.
He supposes it’s an odd little point of pride, or perhaps the worst kind of masochism, but he has always been a monster and even when he charms, when he finds himself a desperate soul and preys upon them, his scales gleam and his teeth remain rotten and stained, a monster’s fangs, in his mouth. He is a liar, a coward, a thief and a corrupter of the innocent, but he does it all with his truest face.

Gold can’t figure out how to unhook her garters.
Now I feel bad, since you keep prompting porn and getting angst, so here you go:
Fic: Stranger (3/6)
AU: Belle remembers everything about their old life, and finally gains freedom from her asylum prison. But Rumpelstiltskin is nowhere to be found: in his place is an oblivious pawnbroker who is as cursed as everyone else in Storybrooke.
A/N: And here the rating rises to low-R. Scenes of a kinda sexual-ish nature ahead. Warn the children.

Stranger
Chapter 3
—-
That evening, Gold leaves a bowl of soup and a plate of bread outside Belle’s door for her dinner. Somehow, he knows that she isn’t coming down, no matter how much he wishes she would. Does he know her so well after only a few weeks?
He wonders at her reaction: did he say something wrong again? Did he remind her of something she’d rather forget, or further disrupt her belief that he is the man she wishes to be with? Did he simply upset her, offend her, with his opinion?
Fic: Stranger (2/6)
AU: Belle remembers everything about their old life, and finally gains freedom from her asylum prison. But Rumpelstiltskin is nowhere to be found: in his place is an oblivious pawnbroker who is as cursed as everyone else in Storybrooke.
A/N: I intended to spread these out a bit more, but with the new episode on Sunday and me being both bored and impatient, that plan failed. Oh well.

Stranger
Chapter 2
—-
Belle keeps trying to make Gold remember whatever it is she feels he’s forgotten. Every day it’s something new.
The five days in, she drops a cup to the ground on purpose. It chips, the way his favourite did once, and she looks up at him and very deliberately apologises, “I’m so sorry: it’s chipped.”
“It’s just a cup,” he brushes her off, automatically, and her eyes light in excitement. But he says no more on the matter, and as soon as the spark arrived it has faded: he turns away, back to his work, and she leaves quickly to fetch a dustpan and brush.
Fic: Stranger (1/6)
AU: Belle remembers everything about their old life, and finally gains freedom from her asylum prison. But Rumpelstiltskin is nowhere to be found: in his place is an oblivious pawnbroker who is as cursed as everyone else in Storybrooke.
A/N: Fyre prompted this, and Val and Ched helped me edit this first chapter. I have to say this is probably one of my all-time favourite things I’ve ever written! Enjoy!

Chapter 1
—-
There is a woman on Cameron Gold’s doorstep.
He finds her at ten in the morning, although he has no idea how long she might have been waiting for him to do so. She is curled around herself, her arms clasped about her knees, shivering and staring at the street. Her long dark hair is matted, tangled and shaggy around her face, her hospital scrubs more than a little worse for wear.
950 follower thankyou
So I hit this milestone, and it’s huge, and it’s amazing and a little scary and completely wonderful, and I’d like to just say that I love every last one of you and that this year would have gone very differently, and probably a hell of a lot worse, had this blog never existed, and had I never met any of you.
So, in the spirit of these kinds of things, have a shot of pure silliness to go with my outburst of love for you all:

Ficlet: A Different Kind of Bedtime Story
Rating: R
Summary: Belle discovers 50 Shades of Grey
Fic: Charming & Me
Title: Charming & Me
Rating: PG-13 at most
Summary: Bae and Gold’s dog gets injured, and Dr French patches him up. Mr Gold soon finds that he’s becoming a second-hand hypochondriac, taking his son’s dog in for check-ups just to see the pretty veterinarian. Rumbelle vet!AU. No FTLand backstory or magic.
A/N: Chip’s Christmas present, because her puppies are her babies and I rarely write fic about actual fluffy animals, but when I do, I do it for her. MERRY CHRISTMAS KELPIE, ENJOY YOUR GIFT <3
—-
Sometimes, Gold regretted allowing his son to get a puppy for Christmas three years back.
Not often, though. The pup had always been a test of his considerable patience, but really, he was very fond of Charming. Even despite the fact that the dog had peed on the carpet and smashed Gold’s favourite lamp within hours of being in their home.
He’d heard that golden retrievers were placid, calm animals. He had been lied to somewhat, it seemed. Charming was sweet, but often overexcited and exuberant when he was happy, which lead to clumsy accidents.
Fic: Treasure
Title: Treasure
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Rumpelstiltskin visits his potential new caretaker to see what he’s dealing with; it doesn’t go exactly as expected. (or the one where Belle accidentally flashes Rumpelstiltskin)
A/N: Secret Santa gift for the lovely Rayvah, who prompted ‘He keeps her locked up’. I HOPE YOU LIKE IT DEARIE!
—-
Treasures - their collection and hoarding, their buying and selling, their values and prices - are something of a specialty of Rumpelstiltskin’s.
She is walking in the garden, when he finally finds her through the looking glass. The Lady Belle, dark haired and blue eyed, delicate and beautiful in her ornate walking gowns, taking a turn about the small courtyards her father’s castle has left.
