Isabelle French was the wealthiest woman in town. Mr. Gold, the town cripple, worked as her caretaker. Isabelle was a cold, ruthless woman and everyone hated her and feared her. When Emma came to Storybrooke, Gold remembered. Could he make Belle love him again? AU Season 1 with nods to Disney movie version. Mostly angst but some Rumbelle hurt/comfort, mild smut, romance, and fluff.

Rumplestiltskin is captured by Prince Charming and his Kingdom and imprisoned in an enchanted prison to live out the remainder of his days. In exchange for information he makes one simple request.

Belle was only a child when she met the strange man dusted with gold. The words she spoke to him made him feel as if there could be hope for his darkened soul. He would keep his eye on her, yes. Make sure she was always content and safe. He did not anticipate the trials they would face together as the child grew into a proper young lionheart. AU. Eventual romance.

What if a cursed Nicholas Gold rescued Belle from the asylum and helped her regain a life? What if they were close friends, and then something more? What if, when Emma arrived in Storybrooke, everything changed?

Belle makes a deal with a different sorcerer to come caretake at his castle. There she meets Rumplestiltskin, who has been a prisoner for a long time.

When it rained she remembered. When it rained he tried to forget. Glimpses into a few quiet moments in the lives of Rumplestiltskin and Belle. Takes place in FTL and Storybrooke.

The terms of the deal are easy to hammer out: he wants forever. It's the proposal that proves tricky. A "Withdrawal" Sequel.

Belle is a prisoner, trapped like an animal in a cage by the Evil Queen. Can the Dark One - known throughout the land for his cruelty and rage - forget pride and anger long enough to save the woman he loves? Or is that idea of a happy ending only a dream?

Passing herself as a bride-to-be was the strangest favour Belle French had ever done a friend, but she was confident she could pull it off. And then she went and fell in love with the designer. Based on a prompt from Tumblr.

Apprentice!Belle AU. A desperate princess makes a deal with the Dark One to save her people. She agrees to spend eternity serving him, so long as he ends the war... and teaches her magic.

"You know someone once told me that I loved you, of all people a beast, a murderer. But I told them what I'm telling you now, I still do love you, a human being, a lover, a man with goodness in his heart."

Belle Asks Rumple a question. COMPLETE. ONE SHOT.

"I tried being polite. I tried being sweet. I tried being understanding and patient with your circumstances, which I realized were not your fault. But now I'm going to take the prince's advice: I'm going to be the man you fell in love with." He yanked, throwing Lacey off balance, and somehow he caught her in mid-fall. "No more Mr. Nice Guy!"

AU Mr. Gold is very good at his job, Belle is about to find out how good. Can the Crocodile succeed at his job or will the the little shop owner surprise him and be the person he can't simply write off or downsize? Can the Beauty tame the Beast? Can she survive the Beast's bite?

When Mister Gold finds out about Belle in the asylum, his first instinct is not to rescue her, but to punish the woman who first took her away. And as his anger grows, so do his powers, and traces of Rumplestiltskin awaken in Storybrooke. Rumbelle.

In this world and the next, she had the same tattoo. Disclaimer: Characters not mine

Mr Gold, hardened Wall Street businessman, finds himself addicted to something only Starbucks can offer… other that the coffee.

Belle French is failing history and her only hope lies with Professor Gold. Certainly NSFW.

Belle startled at the offending noise, and Gold laughed. When he spoke, his voice was low, rumbling and yet soft. "Gentle now, lass," he whispered, his lips brushing her ear. "She needs a soft touch."

After Regina trades Belle back to him, for a price, Mr Gold focuses on trying to make her better. Rumbelle.

Belle is locked in a stone cell, doomed to never see the sunlight again. Mr. Gold is living in an empty world, doomed to never see his true love again. Both are trapped, and both have painful but good dreams. -Not congruous with my other Mr. Gold story-
