Synopsis: Sir Rumplestiltskin is a senior knight of Avonlea. The first time he meets Princess Belle, heir to the throne, he is tasked with her protection while she goes travelling. Years later her father dies, and Belle is forced to return home not only to take the mantle of Queen, but also accept a betrothal to ensure an alliance and heirs. Duty before love, is the price that they pay or so it would seem.
Note: This is was previously known as the Whispering!verse. It’s also a prompt verse, which is why I’m creating this masterpost for it. There are two ways to read this fic. Either in the order it was written, or in the order that the scenes fall in the verses timeline, or you know randomly heh.
Due to the fact I sometimes post multiple prompts in the same tumblr post, to avoid spamming the tag, if you would like to read the scenes in chronological order, it might be easier to read on AO3.
This is a prompt verse so feel free to prompt for anything, at any point in the timeline. I’ll update this post whenever I add to the verse. Enjoy! 🙂
