Just in case anyone wondered what song I was talking about, in reference to the title of I Love the Way – it’s this one. Like I said I’m showing my age heh and I really did think it fit The Right Wrong Number Belle and Gold.
I need more reaction gifs. Anyone know where I can get some? For now this one will have to do …
I’m chipping away at Chapter Six of Painting Layers of Love and it just took a turn I did not expect. I’m blaming Neal entirely.
so excited to hear you’re working on this!
I know! I feel really guilty about it. I have no idea how it’s been a month, I swear I blinked and it happened. Anyway, I’m determined to update this Friday and then try and update fortnightly again. Hopefully that will stick this time! 🙂
@beliza-fryler thank you! That’s really nice to hear. I hope you will enjoy the chapter.
Why would anyone else have known? I didn’t know until Anthony broke down and told me the moment we were alone.
Nothing persisted from the previous loops, only the last one mattered. Given events, there is a general belief there was some sort of scandal. However, Anthony’s swift proposal of marriage meant nobody really cared, especially because he just has money and no title.
Personally I hope nobody ever finds out. It’s the kind of power some men would kill to possess. I certainly won’t ever tell a soul, and I believe that Anthony wishes he could forget it ever happened. However, his frequent nightmares that this last loop was just a dream, won’t let him. At least I’m always there to soothe him and remind him that I am alive, and I’m not going to leave him.
Gold: I can scarcely believe that after … I don’t even know how many loops, that Belle is finally alive and safe. I want to just lock the room and leave it locked. I have no need of the machine now but … I don’t even want to consider needing it again. However, if I did … if … I can’t even think about it.
Belle: We’re going to destroy it.
Gold: Belle sweetheart …
Belle: No Anthony. Should the worst happen I don’t want you to put yourself through that again. There are some things that just shouldn’t have been invented.
Gold: But …
Belle: Eternity wouldn’t be enough. Neither of us need the temptation. Mankind should not have such power. We’re going to destroy it.
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.
I haven’t seen seen Sunday’s episode this week! Please NO spoilers. I’m checking my notifications but I won’t be looking at my feed until Wednesday.
I saw this tweet just now and urk so freaking excited. I keep telling myself not to be because the scene probably isn’t going to go anyway I would like, but ahhhh that picture! All the feels! Seriously I’ve been doing major soundless gesturing at the screen (because I’m with other people) and just eeeeek I can’t wait to watch!! 🙂
I um utterly in love with this GoldenLace fic that I’m writing. Which is good because I’m 4k in and I’m nowhere near the part of the fic where I can use the Monthly Rumbelling prompt. It’s ok, I was told that if I used the sentence anywhere in the fic it counted, or I might do a brief flashforward as otherwise the sentence will be several thousand words in or more.
You know, quite often I’ll start a fic, and then realize I don’t really care about it, but then it’s too late and so I keep writing purely to finish it. This is a rare pleasure to really enjoy what I’m writing. I hope it lasts 🙂
This is based on the most recent filming spoilers.
I wish you could quote on tumblr. sgtmac7 said:
They yell at him to not do this (Belle says “You don’t have to do this” and Rumple says, “Stop,…”), Emma says something like stay back or I’ve got this, there’s a fight and Morpheus gets tossed in front of them, he’s defeated and then it’s like everyone is unfrozen (I assume Emma froze them) and then Rum and Belle just…walk off? Like they don’t engage again. So a poof or a dream.
My crackpot theory …
Emma is the savior because of the first dark curse. Rumple linked her into the curse, as a ‘safety valve’ to ensure that it was broken, with a drop of her parents true love potion on the scroll. Throughout 5B they kept going on about how Rumple made Hook’s sacrifice meaningless. What if he did it again? What if he steals Emma’s thunder?
Regina cast the curse, from 4B we know Rumple didn’t actually create the curse but he certainly altered it to suit his ends. The first dark curse created Storybrooke. The subsequent dark curses, didn’t use the scroll, they weren’t cast in the same way, they were just following the threads of magic that the first dark curse had established.
Rumple and Emma are linked already. He took the power of “all the dark ones” which would include the recent Dark Swan. What if he transfers the threads of magic, that make Emma the savior to himself? That would be why Emma doesn’t die – she’s no longer the savior. However, it would be taking away what makes Emma special. The Charming’s, Hook and Emma herself wouldn’t approve, even if they understood what he was doing. Rumple probably wouldn’t explain it, so they would think he was doing something bad.
If Belle knew what he was doing, then she would say something like “you don’t have to do this” because all saviors die. Maybe Rumple does it because of Morpheus, and because of Belle. He thinks he doesn’t have anything to live for, and he wants to be the hero that Excalibur deemed him to be. Perhaps he thinks that it will save his son, and if Rumple has proved anything it’s that he’ll do anything to save his kids.
I saw a theory, I think from thatravenclawbitch, saying that maybe the multiple saviors, and then the death of the savior/tremors etc. came about when a new savior was about to be born. Aladdin got his tremors before the dark curse and Emma’s birth, now Emma is getting hers after the Rumbelle baby is conceived, so maybe Morpehus is going to grow up to be a savior.
Wouldn’t Rumple do anything to stop that? To save his child from that fate? Even if he had to take it on for himself?
I know I’m predisposed to think of Rumple as being the hero they need, and this theory doesn’t address what Regina and Robin were doing there, or how adult Morpheus is the guy in the hood. However, I like the theory anyway. Maybe Regina and Robin are in a magical dimension part of Storybrooke, because Regina cast the curse, and so she’s helping Gold sever Emma’s ties to it. Robin is her delusion/manifestation of something and therefore invisible to everyone else.
I don’t know what is going on with Morpehus. I’m leaning towards someone (maybe Jafar) wearing the future Rumbelle babies face. So some of the Morpheus appearances are him genuinely being the future Rumbelle child, and others are of him being the bad guy pretending to be the Rumbelle kid. It could also be time travel, or something else.
