Summary: Belle French fights an uphill battle with the industrial corporation responsible for poisoning the water in her town. When her case stalls, she finds herself striking a deal with the most unlikely...and unnatural...partner.

Or, Erin Brockovich meets tentacle porn.

Yes, you read that right.

Author’s Notes: This was written in honor of @mantismenagerie, and also as a gift for the lovely and ever patient @rayvah who prompted:

“Belle lives in a village by the sea, which is being threatened by outside forces…. There are legends of a creature that lives deep in the sea that, if you catch it, must make a deal with you (or/grant a wish). Belle has devised a way to capture the creature. I really like Octo!Rum.

It was wonderful getting to know you! And thank you for your prompt: it definitely pushed me outside my comfort zone and I’d like to think I’m better for it.

It began with the children.

Cough, fever, nausea. Innocent, innocuous, invisible.

It’s flu season after all. Nothing to worry about. You might want to head down to the clinic. Get yourself a shot. Stock up on cough syrup. Add some Vitamin C. Things like this are bound to get around. Especially in small town like Merden.

Weeks later, it did. And by then everyone knew it had nothing to do with the flu.

Because now the coughs were wet with blood, the fevers rose to an alarming degree and the aches and pains gave way to more frightening damage. When the sickness spread further, the hospitals had more to worry about than just the children.

Damning headlines followed public outcry. Talk of corruption spread faster than any airborne contagion. Stories were told. Fingers were pointed. Prayers went unanswered.

But beneath the clenched fists, the shuddering tears, the muted anguish that fell over crowded waiting rooms, the god of this shore stirs inside his darkened caverns. His slumber uneasy. No longer at peace.

My RSS gift came and it was a handmade quilt made by Rayvah!!!!! It’s beautiful. The colors reference the clothing Belle and Rumple wore in the Enchanted Forest. The prompt was ‘understand a heart like mine.’ I’m going to cuddle with it forever. Thank you so much!

Here are some pics! Hope the photo is okay, took it with an ipod.

There are so many great AUs out there for Rumbelle that I’m constantly amazed at how many different AU situations writers put Rumbelle in and write it so convincingly that the reader can imagine Belle and Rumple in these different worlds. Here are some faves that have stuck with me.

Layered by theStraggletag. Rumple is a fashion designer and Belle is a bride to be or is she? The story displays an abundance of knowledge of the fashion world without the reader getting lost if not familiar with it. She also puts in fave Rumbelle moments we all know like the teacup seemlessly. And the sexy times are sensual.

Caged by Rayvah. A young Belle finds a monster at the circus who is more than he seems. This is a clever take on Rumple’s backstory and how Belle fits in. The NC17 parts leave you wanting more and the magical aspects of the story and how one does magic are original.

Dealing in Arrangements by FeistyFox. Belle marries Gold to pay off a debt. This is an original take on the Belle marries Gold fics. The dialogue and the thoughts of the characters are spot on and the smutty times are very romantic. The author really delves deep into the psyche of both Belle and Gold.

The Long Game by emospritelet. Belle meets the enigmatic Mr. Gold and feels that she's has known him before. What can I say about this? The mythology and backstory is so extensive, so detailed that I'm transported into this world. She manages to make both Gold and Belle in character as well as give them subtle differences especially in the flashback parts. The sexy times are fiery and chest heaving.

Amazing. I can only handle this because I know the happy alternative exists. I like it. I must be a heartless bitch.

The second time Belle French brought food to his door step, Rumford Gold was no less surprised than when she first had.

But there she was, with a rosy nose and pink cheeks from the bitter cold, and a steaming crock pot full of some kind of soup.

"Hello!" She beamed up at him, offering up the soup, " I hope you don't mind."

Belle French's smiles were freely given to anyone in Storybrooke to show even a smudge of kindness, but to Rumford they always catch him off guard.
