Painting Layers Belle: A sort of odd question, but how do you read your books? Do you prefer braille or audio books? Also, what is your favorite book?

I prefer braille if I can get it. There’s something about the feel of paper beneath my fingers, and the reassuring weight of the book. However, audio is more widely available, especially with digital books because even if an audio version isn’t available, there are programs that can read the text.

Asking a book lover what is their favorite book, is like asking someone to choose between dozens of things they love equally. All books are different, and they suit different moods. When I’m sad I like to re-read happy books, where nothing really bad happens and it all ends well.

The rest of the time my taste is fairly eclectic, I adore the classics of course, but all books are valid. I’ve just finished a sci-fi series where a group of people were stuck onboard a very old alien spaceship. Next on my ‘to read’ list is a fairytale adaptation crossing between their world, and modern day. It sounds fascinating.

#so it was hard to know what to say because no book titles really came to mind sorry#this was a hard question because I’m not Belle and I love to write but I’m not much of a reader these days (I know that’s bad)

Painting Layers Bae: Now that you have met your father’s mysterious friend, what do you think of her?

Who’s Bae????

My name is Neal but I’m assuming that you mean me, seeing as you are asking about dad’s friend/neighbor Belle. I kinda already said how I felt about their relationship (link) but you want to know my opinion of just Belle?

I don’t know man, she seems nice enough but it’s clear she has some problems. I just came over to do her garden and beyond saying hi, it’s not like I really know her that well, just what dad has told me and what I can see for myself. To be honest I’m kinda worried about her.

I hope dad treats her right because if he thinks in three months he can just walk away *shakes head* I know he has it pretty bad, but I know how he is about work. This thing between them it might work now but it’s not likely to end well and … gah I don’t know … I don’t know whether to encourage it or not. It might be good for dad but it could be devastating for Belle.

Transposing Digits!Emma: How did your mommy and daddy react when you told them who your best friend was?

Mommy went really quiet and then said “that’s nice” over and over and over *insert child eye rolling*

Dad already knew because my dad runs the soccer club and Bae is his best player – next to me of course 🙂 *puffs out chest in pride* He grinned and told mommy that Bae is a “good kid” and then they went and did whispering (why do grown-ups do that?) and then mommy said we could call Bae’s papa and see if Bae could come and play.

Transposing Digits Bae: Did you ever get your playdate? And has papa told you about his own upcoming playdate?

Note: Here’s part two of the prompts from last week. The final chapter (unless I get more prompts), dealing with the date and a couple of other loose ends will be posted on Friday 🙂

On Tumblr: Chapter One, Chapter Two (Part One)

AO3 Link

Before Gold
knew it, it was Friday. When he had been in his shop, at times Friday had felt
like forever away. He would pass by the window and catch sight of the library
doors, or he would see the back of Belle as she walked down the street, her
chestnut curls whipping around her in the light breeze. Every day he was sure
that she would cancel, and he wanted Friday to arrive quickly before she could
change her mind. The one thing he was sure of, was that she wouldn’t just stand
him up, she wasn’t that cruel.

When Friday
morning dawned, Gold was just pouring milk on Bae’s cereal when the boy himself
entered the kitchen. Bae was sleepily rubbing his eyes, his hair sticking up all
over the place and making Gold itch to find a comb. Gold’s eyes flickered to
the clock, and he shook his head, as always they would be pushing it to get to
school on time. Bae was a terror in the mornings, he just didn’t want to get
out of bed. Merlin only knows what he would be like as a teenager.

Adorable! Non-icky indeed! 

I’m really glad you liked it seeing as this was your prompt 🙂 Yeah I don’t actually know any kids, so I think I probably write them too sweet but it’s fluffy fic so I guess that’s ok. The next part will be up tomorrow!

My 10yr old told me just yesterday about her friend having a crush but she wasnt into that cus all boys were yukky. So I think youve got it spot on.
Im kind of hoping for a rating change and some transposing of digits behind the cabin.

Oh that’s good to know, thanks! I won’t ever do a rating change because that’s not fair to readers that start thinking it was one thing, and then it becomes something else. However, I’m not adverse to oneshots in the same verse should I get inspired in that direction. I’m glad you liked it 🙂

Layers Neal: Sooo, how do you feel about your father’s friendship/relationship with Belle? I think they will be good for each other.

I’ve never seen him like this, it’s hilarious and nauseatingly sweet at the same time. I’m going to take every opportunity to tease him about it. I don’t really know how Belle feels, but dad has it bad, so I hope she feels the same or it’ll be all sad, and we don’t really do ‘emotional moments’ in this family. I swear though, if dad screws it up …

Layers Belle, I think you’re doing remarkably well. Before you know it, Gold’s home might be your own home away from home. :~)

I don’t know about that *blushes* besides the cottages are next door to one another, so it’s inevitable we’ll gravitate more towards one than the other. My home has everything we need – it certainly has enough tea! Nick seems to think that he needs to reciprocate the hospitality, but it’s not like I mind. He’s welcome any time.

*chews on thumbnail* we’ll have to see how it goes.

Lucky number: 47
Last thing I googled: Popular movies in the 90′s (for a fic)

Blankets I sleep with: 1 heavy weight duvet, unless I’m cold, in which case I add a lighter duvet. At the old house (we didn’t have central heating) and I used to have a fleece blankets as well. I get cold easily.

Fav artists/band: Music is never wasted on me. I have phases when I’ll listen to one artist/group of artists a lot, and then I’ll switch and listen to something completely different. I cross the spectrum from Kid Rock to Frank Sinatra. I love all music really.

Dream trip: Oh man I don’t know, I don’t actually like travelling, and some places that look amazing in pictures have super scary bugs/snakes etc. like Australia. However, if I had to answer I guess I would say America.

Dream job: Author
When did you make this blog: May 2016
Follower Count: 132
Posts: 1,296
When did your blog reach its peak: Well I’ve gained followers over time so I guess right now, but I don’t really understand the question.

Why did you get tumblr: I had lurked around the edges of the Rumbelle fandom for a really long time and then Rumbelle is Hope was suggested, and I really wanted to take part. I don’t like missing out on things. Whenever I join something new I always bemoan that I don’t have a time turner, to go back and join it when it started.

Do you get asks on a daily basis: Nope.
Why did you choose your URL: Back in 2005 I created a personal website/blog and (still-searching.net) was the URL I chose. 47 is my favorite number and together that was available on tumblr. Everything else I tried was already taken.

Painting Layers of Love Belle: Are you looking forward to spending time with Gold out in the garden? I think it could be fun.

We have had tea in the kitchen and the living room, I don’t imagine the garden will be much different. Yes, it is outside but it’s an extension of my cottage really. Just a couple of steps from my studio, close enough to reach out with a hand and know where I am.

Truthfully my biggest concern is that we will run out of things to talk about, and the conversation will grow awkward. I’m amazed that hasn’t happened yet but Nick generally has a way of making everything feel more comfortable. *blushes* I will never tell him but I have quite the crush on him.

#the garden scene will be in chapter five on friday 🙂
