I didn’t want to reblog again and spam up that gifset with talking about a WIP which is best case scenario still months away from being written. However, your “do it!” made me wonder if you had read my tags that I put on the gifset. Something like that is on my list.
It’s part of a Rumbelle fic, working title Rule Number Three (after the NCIS Gibbs rule – don’t believe what you are told, double check). Basically Belle prompts Rumple to check that Bae is in the land without magic, and discovers he’s in Neverland. He rescues him from there, and then obviously doesn’t need the dark curse anymore – so it never gets cast. Everything changes from then.
It’s incredibly angsty for Swanfire because Snow and Charming are very disapproving. Bae is the son of the dark one, for all that Rumple is supposedly reformed and the consort of the Queen of Avonlea. After twenty years ruling a kingdom, they want a more appropriate match for the daughter. It’s like no matter how much you try and avoid your fate, it still finds you. Henry is born, Regina helps raise him (after she is woken from the sleeping curse, she placed herself under, because she couldn’t get her revenge on Snow) etc.
I have the whole thing planned out, I just need to find time to write it. Although it is quite funny. I realized when I was looking through my Rumbelle WIP plans, that in every single fic Rumbelle share true loves kiss. In this fic, they aren’t the only ones, there’s possibly two other true loves kisses as well. I’m a sucker for happy endings.
