Supposed to tag 10 people: @sarashouldbestudying, @bookwormchocaholic hope you don’t mind the tag 🙂

@rowofstars your “I am not a girl. I am a weapon” gifset is an absolute gift.

1) You’ve reminded me how much I loved BraveWarrior. I kinda worked them in as a little bit of a side pairing in Conspiracy Afloat, but they were very much side characters and didn’t even appear ‘on screen’ together. I definitely want to include them properly in something soon!

2) The reason why I’m writing this post. @rumbellethething did a fic rec based on Ocean’s Eleven. I must go read that fic (it’s been added to my TBR list) but your gifset + Ocean’s Eleven being in my head, reminded me that movie is getting a remake with an all female cast for Ocean’s Eight.

Can you picture it? All the badass Once ladies doing something like Ocean’s Eight? Somebody do the thing! 🙂

Your Zookeeper is still chipping away at this gift! But may I just say the Rush gifs you post are most inspiring? Ah, inspiration. :D

Hey *waves*

Have you discovered the 20 or so pages I have in the Nicholas Rush Appreciation tag? I swear sometimes I feel like I’m trying to find all the good Rush pics/gifsets on tumblr and file them all under one tag. That might be more inspiration for you 🙂

I’m glad that it’s going alright 🙂 I hope you had a good week!

Marina!Rumbelle, do you want children in the the future?

Belle:

Gold:

Belle: We … haven’t really discussed it. I don’t know if Evan wants to do it all over again.

Gold: Me sweetheart? What about what you want?

Belle: Well you have Neal, and Henry is ten and …

Gold: None of that has anything to do with what you want. You’re afraid we don’t want the same thing aren’t you? I like to think that we can always talk …

Belle: We can! I just … I never really thought that much about kids. I only ever wanted them with the right man and before you, I had sort of given up hope on finding him.

Gold: Oh Belle.

Belle: I do want a child Evan but only if that’s what you want. If it’s not then I’m happy just being the two of us. I want you, and what we have, more than some dream family.

Gold: I can think of nothing I’d like more than to have a child with you. I’m not so old that it would be unfair to them. You’ll make a wonderful mother.

Belle: You’re already an amazing father *kisses him* *slaps him lightly on the shoulder* and you’re not old.

Gold: *laughs and kisses her again* if you say so sweetheart.

WIP Meme: stay, leave, run, back

Ooooh I love this meme 🙂

From upcoming untitled Monthly Rumbelling fic

He couldn’t blame her for that, she’d been so kind spending the time she had with
him, and he just hoped that they would be able to stay friends.

Belle shifted, slipping off his lap to snuggle back against his side. “Not really but I’ll
leave if you want.”

Besides it was Belle seeing him naked that he feared, when she saw his scars and his
mangled leg, he hoped that she would run a mile. She deserved so much better
than a broken down single father, who couldn’t even make it through the night
without waking sick and shaky from nightmares.

(Back appeared 18x in this one document, clearly I like that word. I picked one)

After a minute he dared to glance back over. Neal was absolutely enchanted, hanging
on Belle’s every word. Gold’s hand shook as he stirred the dinner.

From upcoming untitled GoldenLace Bonnie and Clyde fic
(Back appeared 9x)

“We were in a bar dearie,” Gold said sarcastically. “Do you really expect me to talk business where I could be so easily overheard.” He gave her a disdainful look. “Get out
and grow up. Come back to me when you have any idea how this game is really played.”

From upcoming WIP – Ripple Effect
“What’s going on?” Young yelled, striding into the gateroom. He caught sight of Belle and moved towards her. “Leave the damn supplies!”

Rush quickly began to run the numbers. The Hammond couldn’t beam them out unless they were on the surface, their best bet would be the Stargate. However, they would have to act quickly, naquadria was notoriously unstable.

Her chestnut colored hair, carefully tied back in a tidy bun, caught his eye first. She gave him a knowing smirk and Rush smiled softly. Belle would never let him hear the end of this.

From upcoming WIP – The Winning Bid (working title)
She could forget about going back for her final year of college, she could forget the future she wanted for herself. It had all turned to dust unless she did something drastic.

From upcoming WIP – Nightwalkers

Idly Belle wondered if Gold knew. She bit her lip, not sure whether to tell him. She
wanted the games to stay as they were until the murderer was caught, and if Gold was furious about a cheating scandal, that might be difficult.

“It was about 3am I think.” Gold shrugged. “Ashley was alive when I left, she was helping clear up the bar. However, I was the first one to actually leave.”

Given the circumstances, it would be easy to get a warrant and Belle kicked herself
for not checking that David had run full financial checks on all of their suspects. Money was a powerful motive.

(Back appears 38x – clearly the motherlode word)

Neal sat back and scowled. Emma raised an unimpressed eyebrow at him and he tried to scowl harder, but his lips twitched, and he smiled without his consent. He wanted to be grumpy, he felt out of sorts, but it was impossible to maintain a bad mood around Emma.

For the crossover ask meme…OUaT and Star Trek (you can choose which series or movie). Crossover OTP, BroTP, frenemies, etc.

Ooooh ok I’m a bad Star Trek fan, I never got on with the older series. I love the new movies, I’m itching for the new series and I had a love/hate relationship with Enterprise. I think I’m going to go with the movies, otherwise I’ll wind up getting snarky about Trip.

A crossover ship I’d dig: Like I said the last time I did this, the problem is so many people are already paired up on Once. Honestly I think I might go for Kirk and early seasons Emma. They have difficult childhoods in common, they both have a saving people thing, they both have a fighting against authority thing. It would be prickly, lots of drinking in hick bars, lots of sassing one another but ultimately they’d both understand the burdens the other faced and step up when the situation called for it.

A crossover BroTP I’d dig: Bones and Regina – can you imagine the levels of sarcasm?

A crossover Frenemies I think would be inevitable: Spock and Rumple. Either they’d work together well, or it would be like oil and water. I think it would depend on what side they were on. I think Spock would appreciate Rumple’s approach (and Rumple would seriously appreciate Spock’s logic) but if they were on opposite sides then it’s like immovable object meet unstoppable force.

A crossover badass duo I think would be inevitable: Chekov and Henry. Chekov was 17 when he was first assigned to Enterprise – a genius. Henry has been battling evil so to speak since he was 10 so he has experience, and an innate understanding of the book.

A crossover animosity I think would be inevitable: Scotty vs magic. I think he would love it, right up until he couldn’t figure out how it worked. He’s an engineer and it would be like waving candy at him and holding it just out of reach. Merlin help Regina’s vault or the pawnshop if Scotty with his detector got let loose on them.

Ask me?: Crossover Ask Meme

From the Writing Ask Meme: 5 and 7

I have a lot of writing ask memes in that tag heh. I hope I picked the right one! I’m fairly certain I did because it was a title match but if I got it wrong, then feel free to ask again 🙂

5) Do you think stories can change lives? Is there a story that has changed yours?

Yes I do think stories can change lives. Sometimes in big ways because by identifying with characters or situations people can have revelations about themselves. They can finally understand something they’d been feeling for a while, they can realize that they aren’t alone etc. It can be in smaller ways as well, for instance letting people escape reality for a better world for a little while. Giving them hope by letting them see that the bad guys can be defeated, or that somebody in a bad situation can get into a better one.

Stories can change lives in a lot of ways. What I’ve just said is only a fraction of the ways I believe it’s possible. Has a particular story changed my life? Yeah I think so. Certain stories or fictional worlds have come into my life when I needed them. I’ve drawn comfort from them, I’ve drawn inspiration. Plus it’s a story – Once Upon a Time – that has led me to this fandom. I’ll always be grateful for that.

7) Do you listen to music while you write/read?
I listen to music all the time. Unless I’m watching TV or with other people, then music is playing. I need it because music is a consistent sound and it normalizes the background, taking away the unexpected. I wouldn’t say I’m strictly listening to music all the time. Sometimes I pay attention to the songs but mostly it just helps keep me calm. So yeah I listen to music when writing/reading, it helps with the focus. Otherwise I’m constantly jumping at every slight bump or sound of conversation. My bio is accurate! I never go anywhere without my iPod 🙂

Marina!Belle and Gold: Has Neal warmed up to your relationship yet?

image

Gold: *coughs*

Belle: Given how … against our relationship Neal and Emma were, I wasn’t expecting acceptance any time soon. However, I spoke with Emma when we were at the cabin and …

Gold: *groans* did you get the ‘talk’ as well? I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I’ve been that embarrassed.

Belle: The talk? Neal asked you about children?

Gold: He said it was clear that we were in love …

Belle: Yes Emma said the same.

Gold: He thought it was something we should discuss before we got married. *looks pained* apparently he’s just waiting on the date before arranging the bachelor party. He’s enjoying this way too much.

Belle: *sniggers* Sorry darling. You know strippers are often a feature of bachelor parties and hen nights. How about you tell Neal and I’ll tell Ruby that we’re arranging a private show of our own? That should put a stop to any of their more wilder ideas.

Gold: Excellent idea sweetheart. How about we … practice right now?

TMI Tuesday

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:
Absolutely nothing. This is the first time that’s happened since last June when I started posting my first WIP and doing TMI Tuesday. I’m sorry 🙁
