Sorry for the delay! It’s been a hectic few days and I’m really tired. I did actually type out a long answer to this Tuesday night but I wanted to go over it before I posted. I love this question! Thank you so much for asking it! 🙂
There are three event fics:
– RCIJ (super secret *mimes zipping mouth shut*)
– Next months Monthly Rumbelling
– Rumbelle Vacation fic
The AMR fic is going to be another oneshot in the In Your Arms verse. It’s going to be a month or so after To Be Loved and it’ll summarize what happened in between the two fics, and also tackle the “should we move in together?” question. The Rumbelle Vacation fic as the spreadsheet says is going to be set at the North York Moors Railway. Gideon is going to be a small child, maybe 3-4 and the fluff I have planned is so fluffy I have no teeth left 🙂
In terms of ‘other fics’ I have a ton of ideas but this post would get extremely long if I talked about all of them.
Anything with smut is on hold for now because I’m just really not inspired that way at the moment. Also there are a few ideas which I’m more drawn to than others.
Nightwalkers
It’s going to be novel length and so I want to finish it before I start posting. I’ve had the first three chapters done since November. Basically be prepared for all the tropes – fake dating, bedsharing, “let’s hide in this small closet”, “let’s kiss as an alibi”, “oh no we’re tied up and we’re having to ‘wriggle’ and that’s awkward” hehe. In terms of plot Belle is a cop and she has to go undercover as Gold’s escort to infiltrate a high stakes poker game, because one of the players is a murderer.
Enchanted Forest AU
Rumple is the dark one, married to Belle, they’ve had TLK, he’s the hero of Avonlea. #NoSpoilers as to how that happened. Lots of Swanfire angst with a happy ending. As much as I keep going on about how much I want to write this I probably haven’t because there’s an 18 year time jump in the middle between the Rumbelle plot and the Swanfire plot, and I’ve never quite worked out how to handle that.
One Night Stand turns true love
I reblogged a prompt and whoops planned the whole thing – “You were supposed to be a one night stand, but we ended up talking till dawn instead of sex. And wow we really click, so do you maybe want to have breakfast and stay longer?”
Belle is a single parent
I am very attached to this concept. I think it has so much story potential so much so I have three story ideas from it. One is sort of like a remix of Transposing Digits where Gold still has Bae, but Belle has a daughter as well. It’s extremely fluffy. The other two scenarios? Not so much. One has Gold as Belle’s kids teacher and they met at a parent-teacher conference. Now you’re probably thinking Gold is the stern teacher and nobody can understand why he teaches, all the kids hate him? Yeah no he’s more like spinner!Rum, he’s kind, soft spoken, a little hesitant but he can put iron in his voice to say “stop that” so the kids don’t run riot. He loves children but he’s never had any because he’s terrified of interacting with them outside the teacher-student boundaries. He’s convinced he’d be a terrible father.
Gold has OCD
Yes I combined this with Belle as a single parent because it made everything more difficult. I have so many notes on this already I’m sort of wondering why the story hasn’t written itself, it’s practically all there. It’s probably the most angsty thing I’ve ever planned. I feel really sorry for Gold. Neal is a teenager in this and I feel sorry for him too. It’s a big mess.
Enchanted Forest AU
Fiona was blasted before she cut Rumple’s fate so he still had magic but Malcolm ditched him, the fairies lost track of him, so Rumple grew up a peasant and hid his magic. Nearby Princess Belle is also hiding her magic but she hears rumors about Rumple and goes to him for lessons.
BraveWarrior
I have a mighty need to write a full fic. I ship them a ridiculous amount. The idea is that Merida gets in fights to protect her brothers and the court sentence her to anger management. Her parole officer decides that if Merida wants to hit something than she should do so in a controlled environment, and signs her up for Mulan’s self-defense classes. It’s like a modern day AU of the lessons they had in The Bear King. Only this ends with them going out for coffee, and to the movies, and cooking each other dinner and all kinds of sweet dating fluff. I have so many BraveWarrior ideas. I want to write all the things!
*****
Oh did I say a few ideas? Oops. Well it is only a small sampling of the ones on my list. Oh and the above doesn’t even take into account the continuations I’ve promised. I have three outstanding prompts for different verses…
