By background angst I just meant Belle’s issues with Moe, the accident, her coping with being blind, her anxiety, the way they keep accidentally pissing each other off or hurting each other’s feelings, that stuff. But I am kinda keen to see Belle open up about that stuff to Gold, which will inevitably end up with her being pretty upset. Maybe Gold kinda unintentionally hits on something and it sets her off, and that sparks the conversation.

Ah ok phew – panic over. I had thought you meant some sort of background angst that I hadn’t seen which would split Belle and Gold up. This is all fine, it’s stuff they can deal with together and I have plans for all of this 🙂

I mean yeah they will fight but it’ll just be temporary, like in chapter one. I’m not very good at writing people apart for a long time, I just want to bang their heads together and order them to talk. Thank you!
