@nynaeve88inspiration It’s going to be Rushbelle again, sorry, not sorry 🙂

Professor Nicholas Rush was beyond irritated. He had tenure at Berkeley university in California. He was comfortable there, he had everything how he liked it, but he had been loaned out on some professor-swap to Cornell University in New York.

His new colleague and head of department Doctor Andrew Covel had already driven him to drink. His nasal demands and general idiocy had been too much to tolerate even if just the afternoon tour. Rush resolved to avoid him as much as possible, perhaps if he was obnoxious enough he would even get excused from the mandatory weekly staff meetings – he could only hope.

“Scotch, neat,” Rush demanded, when he finally managed to glare enough to get the bartenders eye.

“Somebody is in a bad mood.”

Him copying her number out onto a piece of paper ‘because he liked numbers’ was adorable.

Heh yeah 🙂 I liked that part. Plus for all that he’s brilliant with technology he is still very much a pen and paper guy. He does all his work on paper, filling endless notebooks and wallpapering his office. So I figured he would like something he could hold, and touch, rather than just an electronic entry in his contacts list. Thanks!

Will we be getting more of this? Very interested to see how the dynamics of the 2 of them will play out!

Yes … but not this month. A few minor details might change (nothing that changes the dynamics of the fic) because I think I’ll incorporate it into my Ripple Effect verse. That’s a WIP I haven’t started posting yet but is in progress whenever I can scrape the time. I had always planned that they would meet via the university, and this works really well, so I’ll use it.

Anyway, I said not this month because I have two WIP’s and half a dozen other fics on the list to write already. I really don’t think I’m going to have time for anything else. Sorry about that. However, it will happen, it’ll just be sometime in September, rather than this month.

Thanks for your interest! I love hearing that people enjoyed my fics 🙂

@emeraldkissunderthemoonlight @ripperblackstaff there will be more of the Rushbelle student/teacher fic I promise 🙂 Unfortunately like I said above, it’ll probably be next month before I get time to write it. It will happen!

Rumple is being unbearable, really short tempered. David quietly asks Belle to do something before Rumple starts turning people into snails again. Belle knows what is wrong, it’s approaching Neal’s birthday. She tries to talk with Rumple about it but he’s practically phobic on the subject, he can’t bear any mention of Neal at all.

Belle takes Rumple up to his cabin to try and distract him, or at least keep him away from the townspeople for a few days. Eventually Belle realizes that Rumple never got to say goodbye. He was still Zelena’s prisoner during the funeral. So she takes him out to the lake and they make a magic box ever-burning candle light in remembrance, sending it floating out into the lake.

A few days later Henry asks Belle about the candle on the lake and Belle tells him. He asks whether Rumple would mind if he lit one for his dad as well. Belle, rather choked up, says she thinks Rumple would like that but she’ll check. Later that evening Rumple, Belle and Henry go to the lake and do a candle for Neal from Henry. Before they leave Henry hesitantly asks if he can do another candle, this time for Graham. Rumple agrees, admitting that he’d liked Graham too.

The next day Henry is in the Charming loft and the topic comes up. Snow thinks it’s sweet and says she’d like to do a candle for her parents. Henry is horrified and says that she can’t because it was Rumple’s thing for Neal and they can’t just do the same without asking. He says he’ll ask and he goes and talks to Belle. She isn’t sure because Rumple can be quite possessive but he overhears the conversation, and much to their surprise says that it’s fine.

Later that evening, Belle and Rumple are back at the cabin, watching the lake get more and more candles of remembrance on it. Belle asks why he let the town use his goodbye for his son. Rumple, eyes fixed on the candle he sent out for Neal, says that now Bae isn’t alone. He also says that Bae would have approved, that he was always the better man and he would have said anything that brought a little light to the world was a good thing. That it was a fine way to honor him.

How did you pack so much beauty into such a short story? That was incredibly moving…..thank you!

Thank you so much! 🙂 It’s more of a summary of a story, than an actual story but it gets the point across. Maybe one day I will flesh it out.

“Now Bae isn’t alone.”

THANKS IM’ DEAD FROM SAD NOW. But it was beautiful.😢

Oh no don’t be dead from sad. Although it was kinda sad /sniff I still miss Neal. @woodelf68 @beastlycheese thank you all for your kind comments!

I’m writing Chapter Two of Painting Layers of Love at the moment. Got maybe ¼ of it done so far. It occurs to me that writing this fic would be 10x easier if I still headhopped.

I used to mix pov in scenes a lot, I still slip sometimes but for the most part I think I manage not to do it. Sometimes I miss my old bad habits. They were formed for a reason.

Just saw the prompts for A Monthly Rumbelling and my first instinct was to panic. I didn’t make the leap to join tumblr until the start of May, and so I just missed signing up for the first quarter. I have been reading the prompts and fics every month, my mind spinning with ideas, and I couldn’t wait to sign up and join in and then I do sign up and …

brain blank.

So I went to make coffee and stopped consciously thinking about it. My panic receded, my mind cleared and by the time I’d drunk my mug I had my idea. Coffee is truly the fuel of writers. I should go make another mug actually …

Anyway, dark!Belle, light!Rumple, will be happening. I wanted to push myself and write the smut prompt but I didn’t like this one so much. Now the previous two months, oh yeah I would have tried my hand at those. Maybe I’ll like next months smut prompt more.
