Gold: Yes we’re dating.
(OOC Gold is a little stunned)
Belle: I followed up on Zelena. Turns out she’s been in Europe for the last couple of months. She got back last week.
Gold:
Belle: I’ve already requested the night off for the next event. I don’t have to be on the clock to bust her.
Gold: That’s … thank you sweetheart.
The case is still ongoing dearie. These things take months, especially with all the delays the defense is petitioning for every five minutes. Dragging it out is a tactic because the jury gets tired, they just want to go home, and then they are more likely to find in favor of the defendant due to the benefit of the doubt.
*cough* as for Belle and I we aren’t seeing as much of each other. The loss of the tape seems to have made the defense decide to keep quiet about their knowledge of our relationship, but there is no sense tempting fate. It’s best not to give them any ammunition.
The moment the jury comes back and this case is over, I’m taking a week of my accumulated leave and taking Belle away from the city. There’s a small box burning a hole in my desk drawer…
Ask me about the show. Ask me anything about my fics, ask my characters anything. You can send me a word and if it’s in my WIP doc then I’ll post a teaser snippet. I accept prompts for any of my existing verses.
This week I posted:
Nothing but I did post an awful lot last week. Also I have a lot of Monthly Rumbelling fics in the pipeline, and I’ve also been working on my menagerie fic, so next week there will definitely be new fic!
You could also ask me a question off any of these lists.
Heya
*kicks tumblr* honestly I think it’s time this place was serviced and had an oil change you know? Oh no! Rush got left behind! Haha, oh man this fic is going to be great. I hope you enjoy flailing in the comments because I’m probably going to get long.
I’m glad you are almost done. That’s a good feeling isn’t it? I’m looking at the clock and hoping I might be able to knock out the ending to mine this morning before I have to go out. If not then it’ll be tomorrow I should think, so very close, getting there 🙂
I seriously can’t wait to your fic! This is going to be epic!
That wonderful parallel gifset where Rumple says about Doctor Hopper’s office being down the street just came up on my dash again.
What if because people in the Enchanted Forest always turned to Rumple to solve their problems, they kept doing that under the curse? I mean a quick deal with the Dark One seemed to be what everyone did when the slightest problem cropped up. So it would be like a subconscious thing, and cursed!Gold wouldn’t have any idea why. Hence why he got into the reflex habit of directing everyone to Doctor Hopper’s office.
Just a random thought for the evening 🙂
I honestly thought when I saw the promo it was going to be time travel. I’m so relieved that it was just a flashback because time travel is a headache. Anyway, there were some not so great moments in this episode but as I try and be positive, I’m just going to ignore those and celebrate the good.
Spoilers under the cut for 6.17 Awake.
I honestly thought when I saw the promo it was going to be time travel. I’m so relieved that it was just a flashback because time travel is a headache. Anyway, I’m going to be needing all the Snow and Charming gifsets from the cursed!flashbacks because that was good for them. There were some not so great moments as well but as I try and be positive, I’m just going to ignore those and celebrate the good.
Hey Zookeeper *waves*
I’m sorry tumblr gave your problems. That seems to be going around. Yay for almost being done! Posting day is two weeks tomorrow and I can’t wait! I’m really looking forward to reading this 🙂
Oh wow thank you! I’m glad you liked them. I know I kinda went a little overboard with the Order in the Court event, I just had so many ideas heh. This fandom is great for events though. There’s usually something going on and it’s always good fun.
I have a little bit well alright a fair bit left to do on my menagerie fic. It’s a bank holiday tomorrow and I’m going to *crack knuckles* get down and see if I can get it finished. Good luck with finishing yours! I can’t wait! 🙂
Synopsis: Boston PD is in dire financial straits so the Police Foundation decide to hold an auction – win a date with one of Boston’s Finest. Resigned to her fate Detective Belle French goes under the hammer. The winning bid belongs to the notorious defense attorney Carl Gold, but he never had any intention of using the date, and tells her to just enjoy her night off. Instead Belle decides to honor their deal, surprising him at his office at the designated time of their contracted date.
Note: Written for @rumbelleorderinthecourt. Enjoy!
Warning: It’s nsfw, rated explicit.
Gold’s lip
curled as he looked around the packed ballroom. This was obscene, and
degrading, and the fact that it had become the ‘must attend’ event of the year
was appalling. The who’s who of Boston’s
elite was here tonight, ostensibly to support the Boston Police Foundation, but
really here to rub elbows with each other and network for personal gain. It was
a world he’d bought a place in, with his very lucrative and very successful law
practice, but it wasn’t a world he liked.The police were
feeling the financial squeeze, the same as the rest of the world, the same as
everyone apart from those in this room and others like them. Boston PD was in
dire financial straits; with pay and hiring freezes for another consecutive
year, layoffs, no money to replace equipment or for additional training. Gold
knew a lot of police couldn’t be trusted, he’d seen the worst of law
enforcement as a young child growing up poor, but he had seen them occasionally
do good things since.That was why he
was here tonight. The cities elite had got tired of benefit dinners, so the
Police Foundation were trying something different to get them to put their
hands in their pockets, they were trying an auction. ‘Win a date with Boston’s
Finest’– and they had turned out in droves because of the novelty. His
reputation demanded his attendance at events like this, but only one person
could have made him attend this travesty of human decency – Detective Belle
French.I’m such a sucker for bachelor/ette auctions and this was great and so in character for both of them! I love the image of tiny Belle all grit and fire in a cop uniform and Gold was perfectly put out by his duties as an attorney. I really enjoyed it!
Thank you! I seem to have quite a few “Belle is a cop” stories because I think it really suits her. She’s passionate about helping people, she’s strong and brave and often underestimated and I think she’d be clever about solving crimes, because she could read through lots of files and draw connections. Anyway, I’m really glad you liked this fic! Thank you so much for commenting 🙂
“How do I even know if I can do the job?”
“By simply, simply trying.”
NaNo is my favourite time of year. I have likened it to a holiday, the eager anticipation mixed with nerves on NaNo-eve is certainly familiar. NaNo is special and a good part of what makes it so special is the community. Camp NaNo even more than regular November NaNo has community at it’s heart with the cabin system. May I just say we have the best cabin this session? Rocking it Rumbelle style heh 🙂
We’re now halfway through and there have been ups and downs. Sometimes it can seem like it’s all doom and gloom, especially because we are now so far from the start but also so far from the end. However, it’s been heartwarming to read in the chat about the successes we’ve had. There have been some truly mind blowing word counts reached but success is more than volume. We’ve reached word counts that are a stretch for us personally and that really is what NaNo is about. It’s not about beating
some high set number, it’s about beating what before seemed impossible for the
individual.
It’s day fourteen and our word counts are very different. However, whether you have zero words, 3k, 10k, 20k, 50k or more you are one of us. We are all writers and we all love to write, it’s what we have in common even though we originate from all over the globe. Writing isn’t always easy. There are days when we are tired, when we are ill, when we plain don’t feel like it or we sit there and no words come to mind.
We all come from different places, with different factors at play conspiring to keep us from making our goals. The secret is simple. Perseverance, determination, dedication, focus, effort, concentration etc. So easy to say and yet so very hard to do. It’s about butt in chair (or wherever you write) and putting one word after another. That’s what we do, whatever speed we type at, whatever our end goal is, we just keep on trucking.
We’re going to have bad days, it happens. What’s important is to move on and try again. New goals, new challenges and of course that overarching one at the end of the month. No matter what stage we’re at now, it’s still possible, there’s time. We’re also going to have amazing days. Days where we type so much our joints ache, because the energy is so incredible all we want to do is write.
Whatever the challenges Camp NaNo throws at us, we are going to climb our own personal mountain. Whatever goal we have set ourselves we’ve got this. We have so got this!
We believe in you.
