Here are a few more Belle femslash mini-fics I wanted to write for fanfic day but didn't get around to until now.  Hope you all enjoy!

pulled from the shadows, Belle/Emma, rated G, 244 words

Instead of Jefferson freeing Belle from the hospital, he sends the Savior.

silk gloves, Belle/Snow, rated PG, 250 words

Sorry I'm a few days late for this theme, but here are two ficlets I wrote for Red Beauty, my OTP. 

Come In From the Cold, Rated G, 190 words

“I’ll never be like them,” was all Ruby said when she showed up at Belle’s apartment at two in the morning, soaking from the rain and shivering. “I can never belong here.”

little shadow, Rated G, 250 words

Right as Belle found herself wishing for a companion, she heard a familiar cough come out from behind the drug store.

(I'm a die-hard fic writer, but I'm hopeless with edits/art...so here's a little paragraph about my favorite Belle femslash ship!  I'll be posting some ficlets later as well.)

While I love Belle as a character, I did not start out shipping her heavily with any certain character.  I was cautious about Rumbelle because of the power imbalance, and I was more invested in friendshipping her with Mulan.  But as the series went on and I started reading more fic, I became totally involved with Red Beauty, for multiple reasons.

One, I ship Ruby with everyone.  She has such a fun charisma, and her character is so friendly and sly that I just can't help but ship her with every character she's had a conversation with.  But I started majorly shipping her with Belle after they met for the first time, because it seemed Ruby was one of the only people who was there for Belle with no baggage and no strings attached.  She just wanted Belle to be happy and comfortable and acclimated with her new life.  I loved them in "Child of the Moon," because it obviously showed Ruby really cared about Belle and her safety.  It's not surprising, considering Ruby has always been cautious about wolfstime, but it's still nice to see women looking after women--I always have room for fun, supportive, loving femslash ships.

There's also the Lacey/Ruby ship, which works on so many levels.  We didn't get to see much of Lacey, but Granny's comment about Lacey borrowing one of Ruby's dresses was too perfect.  I can definitely see them partying together.

After a season with depressingly few scenes and storylines for Miss Belle French, Emma (reformedqueens) and JJ (charmingheirapparent) have decided to host a celebration week for Belle femslash ships - Belle/Ruby, Belle/Mulan, Belle/Ariel, and anything else you can think of! Join us in celebrating and creating content for all your favorite Belle ships.

Day One: Tell us about your favorite pairing.

Day Two: Share a fanmix or fanfic. Or both!

Day Three: Post a gifset, screencap set, or edit.

Day Four: Lacey day! Share any Lacey (or Storybrooke AU) headcanons, pairings, or fanworks you have!

Day Five: Alternate Universes. Belle/Ariel college roommates fic? Belle/Mulan roadtrip graphics? Belle/Ruby meet in the Enchanted Forest and run away together? The only limit is your imagination.

Day Six: Rare(r) pair day. Is there a character on the show Belle hasn’t interacted with, but you’d love to see fanworks of? Post requests and prompts! Maybe someone will fill them for you.

Day Seven: Bookworm day! Pick your favorite book or poem quote that reminds you of a Belle ship.

Day Eight: Free for all. Wrap up the week by posting a headcanon, filling out a domesticity meme, sharing a fanwork you couldn’t fit into another day, reccing a fic, or whatever else you can think of.

We will be posting our responses to the meme August 6th through the 13th, but feel free to participate whenever you have time! Post your responses and fanworks to the #bellefw tag and we'll add them to the masterpost.

JJ will also be taking and filling fic prompts for any and all Belle femslash pairings throughout the week. Shoot her an ask!
