This fic has made me question the wardrobe in canon. The ble fairy knew about it well enough that she was able to provide it as a solution to Snow White, but didn't mention it when rumple asked for a way to follow his son. Was she able to keep the information from him for 300 years? Or did he discover it and choose the curse in order to have a way to return to his magic? Was the blue fairy the true bad guy all along, as some fics have speculated?

As for your fic it was refreshing and new take on the whole story. Thank you for sharing.

I loved your portrayal of their grief in this story. It really helped the characters to come alive.

This was just wow. The characters were totally in character and I just loved the story from the subtle to the huge changes, the twists and what I feel is an unique take on the storyline. I loved the depth we see in the relationships between characters and I can't thank you enough for writing this awesome story. It is one of the best things I have ever read!

Does anyone else not like those kinds of future tellers.
More often then not, their prophecies are self-fulfilling.
As in once you hear it you can't stop it, because you fulfill it by trying to avoid it.
You know, all that jazz.

Its a pity FairyTale Land doesnt know anything about psychiatry. They could sure use some. And marriage counseling...and grief counseling!

that was so wonderful! THIS is the Rumbelle we need and deserve! This is the kind of marriage Rumple needed and deserved on the show (but didn't get... either time) Thank you for writing this!

these moments of love between them are so sweet! I wish we had some of this on the show. This RumBelle love makes me so happy to see.

that was absolutely wonderful! I love how sweet this story is... how young and hopeful Rumple & Belle are (of course in the show that kind of hope & happiness never lasts for long with them) so thank you for giving it to us here!

that was absolutely so sweet! love this!

I have been reading this so long and I can't believe it's over!
Although one thing bothers me, why the name Wallace? Anyway, it was a great story, Dearie!

That's kind of weird. Rumple still has the memories of the dalliance with Cora? Eewww!

But... But...She promised to always stand by his side!

A squee for Bae and cry for Rumple here!

This story was fantastic! I had been searching for a OUAT fic with Belle and Rumplestiltskin that had a good plot and story and I found it! So good. I loved that you really fleshed out a lot of the characters and how you fit your plot in with elements of the OUAT show. Great job. Can't wait to see your other work.

This was one of the most breathtaking stories I've ever read. I honestly was swept away by each word and all the changes to the original story yet staying so close to the same was marvelous. This is one of my absolute favorites. :3
