It’s that time again, time for another TEA consideration post.   While I’ll likely  make a recommendation list later after I’ve had chance to go through my backlog of fic squealing (and double-checking what people want nominated),  this list just features my own work.   Also @ifishouldvanish has started an incredible site to help you with nominations, so also go check that out.

Where the Sea Takes You for Best May Day Menagerie (and Best One-shot if you’re feeling particularly generous)

If you choose to only nominate me for one thing, please let this be it.   I’m so proud of this story for combining show mythology with a less common sea creature.    

Belle refuses to give up hope that Rumplestiltskin is out there somewhere. He just can't be dead. After Belle reads about a creature created through their connection to the darkest of magic and forced into serving penance for their misdeeds, she goes to the island in hopes of finding her true love.

Knight in Shining Armor for Best Reunion 

Mr. Gold followed Madame Mayor to the hospital hoping for some blackmail material. He found something much more important instead.  

Finding Home for Best Creature AU and/or Best Spinner Rum

It seemed no matter what form she was in, Belle was unable to stop herself from being the hero and helping someone in need. But this rescue gives her much more than she bargained for.

Also features my favorite first kiss dialogue:  

I’ve written a lot this year, and I’ve been thinking hard about my favourites from what I’ve produced.  If you’d like to nominate any of my fics, I’d be over the moon.  What can’t be nominated: The Long Game, Bound For All Eternity, Cabin Fever, Erotic Destiny Series, Three’s Company, San Francisco and The Stranger.  

I’d be grateful if you’d consider the following:

Buried Treasure - for Best Golden Lace or Best OUAT AU

Why nominate?  It’s a smut sandwich around a core of angst and self-discovery, but it has a happy ending.  I love this fic.

Look Back in Anger - for Best Rumbelle Blow-Off

Why nominate?  It’s Rushbelle, set on Destiny, and Belle’s in the military.  Snark and sass and hot sex in one smutty package

The Course of True Love - for Best OUAT AU or Angst: Hurts So Good

Why nominate?  It’s painful as fuck but Rumbelle address a lot of their problems with each other and with the heroes, and most importantly *glares at A&E*, no one’s OOC.  Plus there’s make up sex

Tiger Lilies - for Best Anyelle

Why nominate?  It has Rushacey and Golden Lace.  It has LOTS of smut, a tiny bit of angst, Lacey being vulnerable, Gold being 1000% done and Rush being - Rush.

Fire and Ice - for Best Threesome

Why nominate?  Extracurricular Gold, Belle and Rush have a boatload of sex and make plans for the future.  It’s hot as fuck, if I do say so myself, but also kind of fluffy at the end

Neverland - for Smut: Romance.

Why nominate?  Mr Gold as an escort - teacher by day, selling his body by night, and Belle hiring him for her 18th birthday.  Lots of smut and a little angst, plus bonus Swanfire family feels

Pixie Dust - for Best Drama or Best Remix

This is my first time nominating myself (though I did have my first RSS fic get nominated a few times by others last year), and I thought I would give it a shot! Since I’ve really only written a total of 4 Rumbelle fics, I’m not totally optimistic. But I’m trying anyways!

The two fics I would like for you to consider:

Lost at Sea for Best Historical AU, Best One-Shot and Rumbelle Secret Santa

Shipwrecked and completely alone in the middle of the Caribbean Sea, Captain Gold and Lady Belle French work together to survive. As time goes by, they grow closer. 

The Retiree for Romance: Best First Meeting, Best Movie AU, and Best Crossover AU

Frank Gold is a lonely, retired CIA agent with an unusual friendship with a government pension worker named Belle French. Unfortunately, people start to notice his attachment to her and force him out of retirement. (Based off of the 2010 movie RED)

For Best Series:  The Cloud Series by Nyphette.

Newbie Spotlight

I've only been writing rumbelle fic since October so I would love to be included in this. I promise I have lots more fics to come which I hope people will enjoy.

I really don’t feel comfortable with self-promotion for these, but I’m told promos can be helpful to those considering nominations, so here goes.  I won’t be specifically campaigning beyond this post, but I would be immensely appreciative of any nominations or votes.

TLG, BFAE, Erotic Destiny verse and Cabin Fever are not eligible for nomination.  I haven’t been especially prolific this year, due to studies and Real Life, and the WIPs I’ve been working on.  I’d be incredibly grateful if you would consider any of the fics below for nomination:
