I want them to have kids together

Cora was horrible way before meeting Rumple

Why don’t they kiss or make out?

I can believe he loved Belle but I think personally that Milah was arranged and Cora was lust and Zelena was nothing

Love the twist at the end. Belle is so much more intelligent than canon Belle, probably because she grew up learning from her reading rather than fantasizing about being a hero and acknowledged by heroes.

Oh my god! I love this! ESPECIALLY the reunion between Rumplestiltskin and Neal. That was just so good for me, because I hated that we didn't really get that in the show. Neal was just so unappreciative of what his Papa went through to find him, and they just never had that great of a relationship again, even if they did die for each other. So it was great to see that here.

I also loved how Belle's just this smart cookie. Like, no denying it, smart and strong and awesome, but totally loyal to him. And he is to her. It was interesting because you think 'she's clinging onto him, doesn't seem to be able to survive without him, is dependent on him, does everything for him' and you think- 'well that's an unhealthy relationship', but I dunno, in this story it just felt right? Like she could be independent if she wanted to, but she didn't want to, she likes her life with him and everyone else can go bugger off.

I also love how she's just so tech-savvy and how she actually USED those skills to completely change things, but they still stayed the same. Him getting his magic back because of their kiss was also interesting. I guess True Love DOES break all curses.

OH! And how she sprung on the whole 'I love you and have for a while' thing, right before they're taken by the curse? Well damn girl, can't say I wouldn't do the same.

Loved this so so much! Thanks for writing/sharing!

Great story.

Hoorary! All the villains got what was coming to them with them all getting their just punishments except for the literal Dark One who ruined hundreds of lives to get his son back, killed God knows how many people, never showed any remorse but hey, you like him so he gets a free pass while no other villain gets redeemed. But then again to say Rumpelstiltskin is redeemed would be silly considering you gloss over all his bad deeds.

Wow, you really are one of those people who thinks Rumplestilksin did no wrong. I bet you think Milah deserved to die, don't you?

Huh and when does Rumplstilskin go to jail for his crimes? Or do the people he's murdered not count?

Awesome story ;)

That's quite a bomb she dropped on him, declaring her feelings for him like that ;)

I really like the friendship that developed between Belle and Rumplestiltskin ;)

Love...I loved everything about this! Regina going to prison, henry being with his family(having a crush), jefferson, Rumple, Cora and pan and Jones dead(i dont mind the pirate but i never liked him. And i dont like obstacles in the way of my ships). Love the cursed personalitys of Belle and Rumple(still being devoted and still having soft spot for kids). I love your Belle!

Loved this fic!

okay, I love this story so far. and you mentioned Taran and Eilonwy, awesome! I have always liked The Black Cauldron.
