Title: A Very Good Plan
Rating: PG-13ish for hints at the end?
Rumbelle fluff and a hint at spicy because of reasons. And for NothingEverLost because we need more fluff and happy and to hopefully cheer up Madame Lost a bit. Set in my imaginary Season 3 wherein we would actually see the domesticated Rumbelle that we won’t actually see
He reached, scowling before he even opened his eyes over the lack of a warm body beside him. The spot still held a little heat, but no person was present. He’d had a plan. A very good, very well-thought out plan.
She was supposed to be curled in her spot beside him, still snuggled contentedly between him and the pillows she insisted on keeping close. When started to get up, she would murmur something groggily, and he would shush her with a kiss to her forehead and by tucking the pillows and blankets around her before making his way downstairs.
But it wasn’t working out like he’d planned, not one single bit. He didn’t like it when his plans didn’t work out, especially the good plans. Belle required a cuppa to get her started, which he usually started while she took a few moments in the restroom before meeting him downstairs. She would see to some fresh fruit and juice, while he tended to eggs, toast, and occasionally porridge or bacon. It was an easy routine, familiar. Breakfast was eaten at the bar, while he read the paper and she struggled to fully awake, sometimes borrowing sections to read for herself or occasionally asking him to read stories aloud when she felt more lucid.

“I’m looking for a book.”
Belle looked up from her laptop, blinking at the sudden disturbance. No one ever came into the library this early in the morning. In general, most people never came near the library. She had begun to think that the citizens of Storybrooke were allergic.
“That’s why most people come to libraries,” she said, the words tumbling out before she could stop them. She almost winced at her own rudeness, but the man seemed unfazed.
“I’m sorry. What can I do for you, sir?” She knew she was blushing, but she tried to look as professional as possible, clasping her hands on the desk in front of her.
He wore a well-tailored pinstripe suit, with a light blue pocket square and navy tie, and his hands rested over the head of an elegant cane. “Aren’t you going to open the web catalogue?” he asked, gesturing to her computer.
She glanced at the word document open on the screen he couldn’t see, and then smiled at him. “It is open. But I probably won’t need it. What are you looking for?”
“No, it’s not. You’re writing something personal.”
Belle stared at him, smile faltering. “Well, I minimized my personal writing. Really, sir, what are you looking for?”
“No, you didn’t. There was no click.”
Belle stood up, annoyed to see that, despite his slight stature, she barely came to his chin. “Does it matter if I use the web catalogue to find your book?”
His lip twitched. “If you don’t need it, then by all means, don’t use it. I’m looking for a book called The Virgin and Her Lover.”

(NC-17) (yes, this time in earnest). (And: Potential trigger warning) Although I had tremendous fun writing this little fanfic, I’m glad that I’m finally able to sleep again, since, for the last ten days, this here possessed my mind night and day. I may have rushed some parts, and I’m sure, when I’m going to reread it in one or two months, I’m probably gonna cringe at every word, but I wanted to post this raw and fresh and unedited.
Also, I’m not good at writing smut, and it’s eternally more awkward if you have to grope around blindly inside your brain for every single word. (But just because I’m not good at it doesn’t mean I don’t like to do it)Since it’s now finished, you may fill my inbox with prompts for this verse if you like. I’ve never done prompts before, but I’m in a celebratory mood :D
EDIT:
And now that I read this part again, I find it even more terrible. I’m deeply sorry for this. Deeply, utterly, thoroughly sorry.———————————————————

On a slow Wednesday night, Detectives Gold and French eat greasy burgers and greasier French fries at an out-of-the way diner. Gold drinks coffee and French drinks iced tea (laced with far too much sugar and twice as much lemon as is strictly necessary), and they argue over qualifications.
“I’m hardly a rookie, Gold,” French says, popping a fry into her mouth and narrowing her eyes at him. “So I’d appreciate it if you stopped treating me like one.”
“Well I’d appreciate if you stopped acting like you knew absolutely everything about absolutely bloody everything. You’ve got book knowledge crammed into that pretty little head of yours, but there’s more to the game than criminology majors. It’s about intuition. Training. Instinct. And quite frankly, you don’t have what it takes. Not yet.”
“Thanks for the glowing review.”
