Rumbelle Aesthetics | 6/?? | Gothic Romance
Belle’s head tilted, studying him uncertainly as he sipped at his tea. There were two other maids besides herself for the estate, and he used but six rooms of it. The rest were kept closed, the furniture covered in white sheets. Only the door at the end of the hall was locked. No one was permitted inside, and he kept the key on his person at all times. She set the teapot down and summoned up all her bravery.
“Why did you want me here, Mr. Gold?”
His smile was crooked, his eyes almost mirthful as he gazed at her over the rim of the tea cup. “The place was filthy.”
This brought to mind a Jonathon Creek episode. Well, the visuals anyway, not the actual plot so much. There was this writer who’d locked himself away in his estate after he lost the only person he loved. Gah, honestly how do you come up with these and where do you find all the awesome pictures?
I have major feels. Like the room at the end could be Bae’s room, left like a shrine. Slowly, just as in canon, Belle works her way into Gold’s heart and lets the light back into his house and his heart, bringing him to life and teaching him to smile again.
