I have read this fic several times in the past and will continue to forever. In light of the newest episode of ouat, I have decided to begin writing my own Rumbelle story that I have been planning to write for a while now. It is however heavily inspired by this story here. I am trying to reach out to you to ask permission. I obviously won’t be stealing your work but simply a few ideas here and there. This fic will forever be burned into my heart just as S7E4 has been too. This was my first Rumbelle story I ever read and I’ll never forget it. Seeing as you haven’t responded to any of not only mine but any messages left here, I doubt you’ll see this. But worry not, I will mention your work in mine so others can share my love for this. Many thanks,
Flame.

This is my most favourite rumbelle fanfiction. Ever. I'm so sad that you abandoned this, but it's been like 4 years and I don't expect you to come back. If you are just contemplating reading this, PLEASE READ IT IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE

How confounding. The Dark One should have simply moulded her, to show only compassion and kindness for him. And perhaps animals too. Yet, he allowed her to go without a lease. The Dark One should have long ago abandoned the traitorous little imbecile that is Belle. She's too disobedient. Too universally compassion. A poor combo.

You have abandoned this. Why did you say you wouldn't if you did?
I'm afraid that I am slightly disappointed in you...

PLEASE UPDATE! I read the entire thing 3 years ago and every couple of months I have been checking for updates and no such luck. I would be really appreciative if you would update this story when you have some spare time. Thank you. I really love this story with a passion!

I love this story! When are you planning on updating?! With lots of love of course... No pressure.

Your writing is amazing! It's been years so I will assume you are not going to continue this. My heart aches. Ever get to the end of a show and get that depressing heart clenching feeling of "now what do I do with my life?" That is until you find another show to satiate the hollow feeling. I can't find another story that compares to yours and unfortunately this is the first Rumbelle fic I read. I am obsessed with Rumbelle and now I am forever cursed with this painful heat in my chest. Maybe I am being a little dramatic but the feeling is definitely there. I listen to Dance Macabre and want to weep. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?!

I'm so sad. I've come to the end. You say that you'll do more on it, but this message was posted on Jan 2 2013! I take it from the date that you no longer have plans to finish this. Just one more chapter would be enough for me, so I can put closure to this and read other stories. I've tried getting into other fanfictions, but nothing seems to beat yours. It breaks my heart, knowing you will probably never make another chapter. I do hope that one day I'll return to this page and find a long list of new chapters for me to read and revisit previous memories of Rumbelle's developing love. I wish you might have at least left it on a content note, and not a cliffhanger. It will eat through me for weeks. Please, I beg of you, for the sake of the Rumbelle fans, PLEASE FINISH THIS STORY!

Amazing action scene here! I real tense moment as I actually felt Belle's fear and pain! I literally sensed her feelings! No story has even done that to me before. But was it just me that actually kinda wanted something BAD to happen to Belle? Yes? i'm so sorry, but I won't lie, I felt a pang of disappointment to see that Rumple yet again, saved the girl and her wolf friend, Graham. I wanted her to be dying or bleeding on the ground, and to have Rumple try to heal her but failing for reasons unknown, and her dying in her arms, and then true loves kiss saving her somehow? Or not true loves kiss, but just true love in general, like the potion? I WANTED DRAMA! (Perhaps in the next chapter, eh?) It's fine, though! The whole story is still amazing and I'm loving it so far. In fact, I feel so sad that the chapters are coming to an end. I do hope you make a sequel to this. I will be very disappointed if you don't. As always, this warms my heart as their relationship builds and builds. I sense that they will finally admit to their feelings in the next chapter. I just hope I'm not wrong!

i think that ariel should return again-perhaps in a moment where it all seems to predictable to be true? That way people expect it so much they believe that it actually won't happen and that it was too obvious, and s when the thing they thought wouldn't happen because of this happens, they are taken back in utter surprise and confusion! *Takes a moment to reread the past comment to take sure it actually makes sense* once again, another brilliant chapter! It kept me on the edge of my chair throughout-even in the calm bits! The only thing I cn request, is if the romance could pick up a little more, but they're doing fine as it is. I only think this as there aren't many chapters left, and I'm worried that their progressive relationship will come on too strongly at once and seem unbelievable. Great story, though! I just hope that she manages to escape the fate that's already been set up for her for when she returns home. I would HATE for her to marry a brute like Gaston!

i don't usually like reviewing things, as I'm always reminded of the waste of the comments section on YouTube, and the way that people spam things indirectly to the other people watching the video and ignore the fact that the point of commenting was to tell the youtuber what they thought of the video. But the more I read of this story, the more I am drawn in by its unique plot and creative way of telling the story. At first I didn't review, but now I feel accustomed to comment on each chapter and tell you of the emotions you have sprung upon me.

This chapter was heart warming, as the two of them seem to grow closer as they were before her memories were stolen by the blue fairy (which, by the way, you have now given me a whole new view of since a couple of chapters ago) and I loved the way they are around each other. i can definitely see the romance coming up. I'm so glad and content now that Belle was going to get better. I think I have a feeling that it was because rumple is Belle's true love that the cure potion worked. But I may be wrong-and who knows! Maybe in the next chapter there will cue a dramatic twist (I hope not, but I also hope so at the same time) bravo, Rumbella! You've once again humoured and entertained me for another day!

Another amazing chapter! I'm really enjoying this story, and finding the untold romance growing between Belle and Rumple very amusing. It's a really unique way to put Rumbelle's story, because most would think that Belle would have to be a grown up for the story to work, but the developing bond that neither of them are brave enough to admit between a kind and sensitive child and an evillooking wicked beast is so adorable. The way that he watches over her to make sure she never gets hurt or gets into trouble, and goes out of his way to do special things and to not hurt her, you can definitely see that the more the friendship grows, the more the romance develops as well.

You certainly have some creativity!

i know that this is kinda late, but for the next chapter could something possibly happen to Belle that Rumple can't fix, where he finally realizes how much he cares for Belle when the bad thing that happens to her happens?

I've spent the best part of two days reading this beautiful story, and have to offer my thanks for making the best fanfiction I have ever read. I'm only upset it hasn't been updated- a story so well written, with such an ingenious plot needs an equally wonderful ending. Words can't describe how much I love your descriptions of Rumple and Belle's deep companionship, and I am really hanging on to the hope that you may finish this story one day. Thank you again, and I'm forever hoping you'll come back. X

Please, please, please, I beg you 3 finish the story
