Penance Series: Four-Lettered Words
Summary: Mr. Gold and Belle argue over the lyrics to a song; Belle’s eighteenth birthday. Penance Series. Teen!Belle. Set sometime after French Literature. Belle’s 17-18.
For wondertwinc, as a belated birthday gift. Happy birthday, dearie!!
Also, there’s a bit that goes before this one, let’s call it car incident/fight #2. I’ll have that one up sometime soon. I don’t think it’s terribly necessary to have read that one prior to this one.
Based around this song, Fallin’ by Alicia Keys.

In the months leading up to Belle’s eighteenth birthday, ever since the night of the crash, they have entered a sound, of sorts—a reprieve.
I would be so very happy… if I didn’t know that something very bad is about to happen soon. That makes me less happy.
Penance series is my crack.
