THE STORY BEHIND RUMPELSTILTSKIN'S POWERS, WHERE THEY CAME FROM, AND WHY THERE IS ALWAYS A PRICE TO BE PAID FOR MAGIC.

If he is coming for her, he is taking far too long. She cannot wait forever.

He didn't even know the woman. And yet he couldn't stop thinking about her. "Frederick"/Kathryn

Sometimes it takes a while to make it home.

"Love..." he let out a laugh. "Such a dangerous thing..." Implied Rumpel/Belle Snow/Charming

After Belle left the castle, Rumpelstiltskin decided that he would no longer think of his lost love. But when Belle wants nothing more than death, Rumpelstiltskin has to choose between letting her die... or keeping her safe. xRumbelle

Emma wakes up after a hazy, drunken night. And of course she's not alone. One-shot.

Rumplestiltskin hates people who welsh on deals, the Queen, and being called 'Rumpie.' Based on a remark made by Robert Carlyle that anybody calling him 'Rumpie' would be turned into a snail.

Archie ditches his glasses in the hopes that someone will notice him. Will it work? Drabble.

It was a stain he does not yet know how to wash away. The Huntsman/The Queen

Emma recalls another meeting with Regina, before Storybrooke or curses. Written for a tumblr prompt. Slight AU? Maybe? Could go either way, really.

This is the alternate ending to my oneshot, His Fallen Angel. What if Rupelstiltskin was given the opportunity to save Belle before she took her tragic leap? Would he seize it? The rating may change to M in later chapters.

Rumplestiltskin he doesn't care for Belle. At least that's what he keeps telling himself. -Rumplestilkin's thoughts about Belle during "Skin Deep"

The dress was blue and white and felt like silk under his finger tips.

A challenge from a forum I'm a part of. Before his death, Graham is seeking a council with anyone besides Emma about his feelings. He finds help in the last place he'd ever think to look.

He wishes he could think of Belle as like Schrodinger's Cat—either she lives in a timeline or she does not, either he will have the happy ending or he will not.

Gold could place a loop of spun chain on Twenty-One Red for the Greeks to be first.

Henry tries to make Mary Margaret feel better the first day back at school following 1x13. One-shot.

No matter what world he was in, Rumplestiltskin would have his Red, and Gold would have his Ruby. Gold remembers everything. Red/Rumple, Ruby/Gold established relationship. Follow up to my story 'Red and Gold.'

Gold has always dreamed of her. If only he could change reality. Songfic.

Even angels have their wicked schemes.

Just a quick oneshot, from Belle's 3rd person POV, while she's in the mental hospital.

If Regina gets her way with the death of Graham, her plan will be a sucess. But with Graham still hanging on for his life, will her plan fail?

a Rumplebelle poem set after Skin Deep contains spoilers!

"What's her name again? Margie? Verna?" The history behind the Queen's throwaway line in Skin Deep. Featuring Rumpelstiltskin, a dusty castle, Fido the talking horse, and some very tight leather pants. Pure crack, basically. One-shot.
