HOKAY!
SO!
A SUUUUUUUUPER LONG TIME AGO, I READ THIS AWESOME FIC CALLED WHAT YOU KNOW BY @bad-faery (which, yes, i did a post about to this blog already, but don’t care, linking it again XD) AND AFTER READING IT ABOUT, OH, I DON’T KNOW, ABOUT 10 FUCKIN TIMES THAT DAY ALONE I WAS LIKE “YOU KNOW WHAT’D BE AWESOME ACTUALLY? A VERSION OF THIS KIND OF FIC WHERE BELLE IS THE ONE WRITING SMUTTY FANFICS N SHIT-
…..*AND THEN ”ONCE UPON A LIFETIME” BECAME A THING THAT EXISTS*
OH MY GOD YOU GUYS.
YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND.
THIS FIC IS SO FREAKIN CHARMING, YOU’RE GONNA LOVE IT
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE “PUT DOWN EVERYTHING YOU’RE FUCKIN DOIN LIKE RN AND GO READ THIS” FICS. JUST SAYIN.
SO HERE’S WHAT UP:
As you can tell, Belle is, essentially, a smut fic author (*which is revealed pretty early on in the story and it’s even in the description to some extent, so, no worries, not TOO spoiler-y lol) in this verse, and she’s crushing SO hard on Mr. Gold that’s it’s just flat out ADORABLE.
This fic as a whole isn’t even ‘NSFW-y’ PER SAY, it’s mainly when Belle’s working on her latest story, but OH MY GOD. SRSLY. THIS IS MAINLY WHERE THE CHARM HAPPENS AND IT’S SO GOOD FFFFFFFFFFFF
Like, first off, the NSFW element DEFINITELY comes in in the dialogue and plot of the story she’s writing that we actually get to see (*SRSLY. GURL. IF YOU ACTUALLY WROTE OUT ALL OF WHAT HAPPENS BEFORE THE SCENE THAT’S WRITTEN OUT HERE, I WOULD SO TOTALLY FUCKIN READ THAT SHIT AND I’D PROBABLY FREAK THE FUCK OUT CAUSE IT’D BE LIKE EXPANDING THE ‘VERSE IN A WAY AND JUST- *flails*), and everything surrounding it is basically her methodically processing the scene she’s trying to write
…AND IT’S SO.REALISTIC. OH MY GOD.
I ALMOST FELL OVER LAUGHING AT SOME PARTS, NOT EVEN CAUSE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A FUNNY SCENE (neither the scene she’s writing or her rl perspective) OR ANYTHING, BUT CAUSE IT’S LITERALLY SO RIDICULOUSLY SPOT ON AND RELATABLE, AND I PRACTICALLY WASN’T EXPECTING THE TYPE OF PERSPECTIVE I GOT TO READ HERE
IT’S JUST FUCKIN GREAT AND I LOVED IT.
…..SO NOW IF YOU’LL EXCUSE ME, I NEED TO COMMENT ON THE ACTUAL AO3 COMMENTS OF THIS FIC CAUSE I FUCKIN LOVE THIS, AND Y’ALL WILL BE PRACTICALLY DEMANDING A SEQUEL TO THIS STORY JUST LIKE I’M BASICALLY ABOUT TO DO CAUSE IT’S THAT. AWESOME. SRSLY.

I’ve literally been re-reading this comment since you linked it a couple of hours ago. I have no idea what to say, I’m utterly overwhelmed. You are far too kind and just wow, thank you so much for your lovely words. I appreciate it so much. Also thanks for linking me this post, I hadn’t seen it before thanks to tumblr misbehaving.
I do accept prompts, so if you want the verse expanded in any particular direction you can always hit up my askbox 🙂 Thank you again, I am just overwhelmed. You are incredible!
#i wish i could respond more eloquently but you have just killed me with compliments#there are no words
