1/2 For me I think your writing’s defining trait is the way you turn the regular tropes and plots and situations we see on their heads or how you twist them into something different. In your wish realm fics you had Belle under a sleeping curse by her own choice but she trusted in their love to wake her up. In PLL both Gold and Belle are a bit woobie, but Gold is still Gold. He’s not a version of spinner!Rum, he’s misanthropic and mired in his work. Even his exchanges with Neal are different.

2/2 – Instead of supporting and even pushing his father to a relationship with Belle, Neal is afraid that Gold will hurt Belle. Neal sees his dad for what he is and seeks to protect Belle from him rather than believing that she makes his dad better. Neal thinks he’s got problems, she’s got problems, and holy crap you two should not be together. So often Neal is the matchmaker or the protector of Rumple/Gold. Instead he’s protecting Belle. It’s interesting and different, as is all your work.

I don’t think there’s a gif in the world that can properly sum up my reaction to this. Thank you so much! This means everything to me.

What’s my writing trademark?
