A remix of A Twist in Time. Rumple and Belle make it back to the future, but find out that their actions in the past have far reaching consequences. Meanwhile, the Rumple and Belle of the past try to piece together what happened in the missing week of their lives. Continues directly from Ch. 11 of Twist, so I recommend reading that first.

AU - There is no curse to be broken by a kiss. Rumpelstiltskin is in prison for the infamous deal with Cinderella. When he first sees his prison-mate, he doesn't think much of her, but Belle gradually works her way into his mind and soul, becoming his apprentice and life companion. Except that there's always something trying to keep them apart.
