Here are some recommendations for Original Characters in Rumbelle stories for TEAS. These OCs are not only the ones that have stuck with me  but also ones that I would like to see on the show.

Leonardo from ‘Long Live the Queen’ by Woubazoid. This character is trusted advisor to Belle on royalty matters as well as an advisor to Rumple on matters of the heart. He is a caring character who knows when to involve himself and knows when to stay in the background.

Synnove from 'Tea Time’ by nothingeverlost. She is the daughter of Belle and Rumple. I adore her. If they ever have a little girl on the show, I want the child to be Synnove. She has her mothers bravery and her fathers cleverness. Perfect combo of Rumbelle.

Wendell the Dragon from 'Who Favor Fire’ by marchionessofblackadder. He is the pet dragon of Belle’s while she was in the Dark Castle. I love the fact that this dragon brings out the parental sides of both Rumple and Belle.

There are so many wonderful series out there for Rumbelle. Here are a few of my favorites

Mirror Saga by TJ Mystic. What more can I say? Here is my original post on this series.

Matched by The Auburn Girl. Society matches a person up with the person they are most compatible with and Belle is matched with Gold and none too happy about it. The author manages to keep the characterizations that we’ve come to know about Rumbelle, while at the same time still have the teen factor present in their characters.

Blind Gold!Series by Woubazoid. Due to the events in Neverland, Gold is left blind and without magic. This series does an excellent job of covering some of the hardships that come with blindness. She does an excellent job of showing us Gold’s different moods and insecurities now that he has lost one of his senses.

Entertainment Series by Spottytonguedog. Rumbelle causes some entertainment for the entire town. I love this! Funny and romantic as well as touching and illuminating. Part 2,Revenge Gone Awry is my favorite. Belle and Gold’s the dark and light parts of their personalities are touched on. Fave line:“I’m sure your sex life is perfectly fine, even if it’s not terribly interesting.” She giggled and clapped her hand over her mouth.From across David’s shoulders she could hear Rumplestiltskin burst out into one his high-pitched girls. “Well, David, she did say she didn’t want to spy on you because it would be boring. Give the girl something interesting to watch, will you?”

2/2 ruin your evening. You are by far one of the sweetest people I’ve encountered in this site, and the thought that people are being this aggressive over an innocent mistake is the truly offensive and messed up thing.

Thank you, love. It means a lot that you think I’m one of the sweetest people you’ve met here - I (unfortunately) really value what people think of me, which can be such a double-edged sword. On one hand, I truly make an effort to be kind and sweet and respectful of everyone, and make sure to be willing to correct my ignorance. I like to think that people appreciate that and know that I’m being genuine in that regard. 

On the other and…I have the emotional strength of a flower petal, and when people say harsh things to me, it cuts deep. And sometimes it can get really bad, what with my anxiety…
