I have all sorts of random thoughts in my head today like …

– my queue is well over 200+ strong. I’m going to be weeks reblogging what is already in there.

– if the Rumbelle fandom hadn’t been so nice and welcoming (seriously you guys are lovely), I might have taken a different direction. Instead of writing Rumbelle fic, I might have written Regina-centric fic instead. Half of my archived ideas are for Regina-centric fics.

– I think somebody hit fast-forward on the remote. How can it be the 17th already? Seriously!

My tumblr first year anniversary was the start of this month. I posted my first Rumbelle fic on May 20th last year. I had hoped to reach the half a million word mark for the one year anniversary but I’m a bit short thanks to the aforementioned disappearing time. Counting this fic that I’m working on (and haven’t posted) I’m 9k short of that. So almost half a million words of Rumbelle/anyelle fic in a year.

I haven’t posted any fic yet this month. Seriously where did the time go?

What happened to Between Two Fires!Rumbelle? (I feel so awful for just realizing you wrote that, I /love/ that fic!)

I rather love that fic as well, an author probably shouldn’t admit to having favorites but I do confess that’s one of mine.

In regards to what happened next. I just looked back at my review replies and apparently I said I was going to continue this verse *hides in a box of a shame* and I would certainly love to write more. The problem is I remain uncertain about what happens next. Writing a prequel would be easier.

I went over a couple of the options here.

Basically if he turns her in, then obviously she’s imprisoned – problem. However, if he doesn’t turn her in then he’ll have to betray his principles (to everyone else, it would look like he was betraying his nation), he would have to live a double life or maybe even go on the run and lose everything. Whatever he chose there would be angst and difficulties. I could see arguments for and against either choice.

It was one of those scenarios where they was no good option, and no happy endings. Even if they found some remote place, where nobody knew them, and made a life together. There would always be the fear of discovery, they would have to lie to everyone they ever met, and they would lose contact with anyone who had ever met anything to them in their old life, they would only have each other.

Whether he turns her in or not there would be a metric-ton of angst. I mean unless something major shifted in the political landscape and Belle managed to cut a deal, so that she got her freedom legitimately, maybe defected and worked alongside Gold against Avonlea. Maybe then, there could be a happy ending or a happy beginning 🙂

Fandom question 10. And I feel you for time vanishing, I have no idea had it’s May already either :)

Is there a fandom you read fic from but don’t write in?

Yes? No? I’m trying to think. I read a lot of Harry Potter fic back in the day but … I might have written a few oneshots. Ditto with Alias. Hmm, recently I’ve read some Agents of Shield fic and I haven’t written any of that! … yet and yet is kinda the operative word.

Fitzsimmons is my OTP and they keep getting separated and hurt, and diving through holes in the universe to save one another. I kinda want to fix it and make them happy. About the only reason why I haven’t written fic yet is that I’m 5 episodes behind the US so it feels odd to write fic, when further developments have happened. All bets are off once I finish season four and the hiatus is on.

So yeah I think that if I read fic then sooner or later I usually wind up writing something. I just can’t help myself.

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. Time has played a cruel trick on me. I blinked and somehow half the month has gone. How did that happen?

Ask Box

Masterlist

You could also ask me a question off any of these lists.

I know there’s not much love for the Once Musical episode in this corner of the fandom but I keep humming the final song to myself. It really links with what Belle said to Rumple. “A fresh start. A happy ending.” “No a happy beginning.”

Tomorrow is uncertain, who knows what it will bring?
But one thing is for sure love, with you I have everything
And happily ever after, is the way these stories go

Used to think that’s what I wanted but now I finally know
….

Leave the past and all it’s scars
A happy beginning now is ours

A happy beginning now is ours

6.21/6.22 The Final Battle (Review)

What an episode. I had hope that everything would turn out ok but I wasn’t sure. It was hope, not certainty and my gut was kinda churning, I didn’t know what kind of firestorm would be happening. However, holding out for a Rumbelle happy ending was right – they got their happy ending or rather a happy beginning.

I typed up notes while I was watching as if it were a regular episode but it’s not really is it? Yes there’s a season seven (and wow do I have all the questions) but this felt very much like an ending. It could very well have been the end of the show and it was finished off well. If they hadn’t got picked up they would have exorcised the scenes with Lucy to remove the teasers for season seven, and that would have been that.

I woke up at 5.30am. I was too tired to do something productive, at least not until the coffee kicks in, so I stuck Stargate on the TV. When in doubt watch Stargate right? I’m doing a bit of a rewatch and so the episode was Singularity from season one.

It’s funny. I’ve watched Stargate all the way through at least twice and some episodes probably 3-4x. Occasionally I remember what I thought when I watched it for the first time. This episode very nearly made me ship Samantha Carter and Daniel Jackson. I never did because what I saw sparks of in this episode never came to anything. It could have though.

That made me think about Once and how when I first started watching I really didn’t like Regina, which is such an alien thought now because she’s such a solid favorite. Opinions can change over time, perspective changes. When I rewatch season one Once, I’m a lot more attuned to Regina, and I wonder how I could ever have thought her heartless when it’s obvious how much she loves Henry.

I don’t really know what the point of this post is. I’m just musing really on how first watch differs from rewatch because of a deeper understanding of characters, but sometimes you can still see what you saw the first time. Perhaps I’m just getting nostalgic.

Once Upon a Time’s Renewal

I figured it was coming, that was my bet, and unpopular opinion or not I’m pleased. This show has disappointed me regularly but then it turns around and does something amazing. It does something good just often enough, to keep me watching and waiting to see what happens next. For transparency, I freely admit I’m biased. My two favorite characters are Rumple and Regina and they are both returning.

I have looked through every news report google can throw at me. Zelena is confirmed as being out but there has been nothing on Belle or Henry. Both Belle and Henry still have strong ties to the remaining cast, Rumple and Regina respectively, and until there is an official announcement I’m not going to worry about it. Even if Belle isn’t a regular, she could still be a recurring guest star. Nothing is confirmed yet.

For now I’m going to put on my positive hat and imagine how awesome season seven could be. More screentime for my favorites? Well hopefully heh, it depends I guess on the new characters. No matter what though, I’m definitely going to be watching and unpopular opinion or not, I’m going to be happy about it. I do love this show, there’s nothing on TV quite like it.

AGENTS OF SHIELD HAS BEEN RENEWED!!!!!!

I am so damn happy about that. I’ve been googling literally every single day waiting for an announcement. This show is so damn good I want 10 seasons, but a fifth is a good start haha 🙂

My day has been made! Of course it’s now even more likely that I’m going to wind up writing fic at some point but sorry not sorry, ugh I love this show so much.

Okay, I have a question for whoever took one for the team and watched 6×20.  I heard that the whole singing thing was a spell and people forgot what happened when they were singing once the spell was over.  So was there singing at the wedding and does everyone remember being there or not?

The singing thing was a spell.

4 of the 6 main songs took place in the past pre-Dark Curse. Blue made everyone forget that they had done singing and put the song in Emma’s heart so she wouldn’t be alone.

Back in present day Storybrooke. Henry reminded Emma of the song in her heart and she did her solo number which freed David, Snow, Regina, Zelena, Hook from being frozen. Then at the wedding they did another song. Nobody forgot those two songs.

So therefore I guess the power of music (as Dumbledore would say) returned briefly to present day Storybrooke for the wedding, but right at the end the Black Fairy’s curse hit, and they’ve confirmed in interviews that Emma won’t be able to use the power of song in the final battle.
