Hello! I'd like to self-rec if that's alright :) It's a post-1941 one-shot with mutual protectiveness, soft bickering and veiled tension from an 80-year old Holy Water disagreement ("A Lift Home?" by Aliada). Thank you! Your blog is a delight :)
Of course it is!
A Lift Home?Ā byĀ Aliada
āThe Bastille wasnāt enough, was it? But yeah, I suppose you wanted to try chaining up after being chained up. Why not have all the fun you can, right?ā he went on, surprised at the sharpness in his voice.
āCrowley!ā Aziraphale cried out, in an indignant tone.
If he expected to hear something along the lines of āI never asked you to come and save meā, it didnāt follow. And Crowley couldnāt deny his relief at the existence of that fact.
āSorry,ā he murmured. āYou know, feet and all.ā

Hey :)! Thanks so much for the ask! Sorry about the late reply!
5.Ā Name a movie that makes you genuinely laugh.
The Scooby Doo live action movie! It will always remain one of my all time favourite movies. I just freaking love the gang, yāall :ā)!
23. Whatās your zodiac sign? Do you think you fit the general characteristics of that sign?
Libra. I donāt really believe the zodiac signs have any affects on peopleās lives but Iāve heared libras tend to be indecisive, which is definitely me.
25. Whatās a song that gives off good vibes anytime you listen to it?
My go to song for good vibes 8) is currentlyĀ āYou and Iā from Bare: A Pop Opera.Ā
28. Name a book you donāt mind reading over and over.
Well, Iām more of an audiobook person as I struggle with reading. But, literally all the books in the Harry Potter series! I only got into it around 3 years ago now and Iāve been re-listening to the series ever since! I listen ever night before I go to bed xD! Iām obsessed, I tell ya!
30. What do you do to feel at peace?
Iād say I feel most at peace when Iām alone in the dark xD. Whether Iām outdoors or indoors as long as itās dark Iām game. Watching something I really like always helps relax me too!
In fact, FĆli had always been lonely. His caretaker ā he refused to call him his father, for a father would never treat their child such as this ā would often leave him, only coming back to use his healing hair to bring him youth and health back, and then heād leave again.
Sitting on the windowsill, watching the wilderness of the forest he resided, he couldnāt help but think of the beautiful things, animals and wonders there were outside of this tower. But he dared not leave, not after hearing so many stories about monsters, dragons, and dangerous men creeping around, waiting for a gullible, innocent young man to venture outside.
And yet, he yearned to leave. If only he found the courage somewhere within him, or if only he saw a sign that it would be okay to leave⦠But for twenty-five torturous years, there was nothing. And thus, he waited, and lived his life in boredom and fear.
The only moment that brought him happiness was when, once a year, he saw many lights floating in the sky. Curiosity kept him waiting for the day every year, and he had no answers as what they were, but they were beautiful, and somehow, that was enough.
One day, though, looking out of his window as he felt the soft breeze against his skin, he saw some movement on the bushes. At first, he thought it was Azog, his caretaker, and he did not worry. After all, he had been in that tower for as long as he could remember and not even once he saw anyone in his clearing, only some small animals that unfortunately found their ways there.
Which was why he gasped quite loudly and hopped back inside when he saw someone coming out of the bushes, someone with long, dark hair, wearing impressive blue and silver clothes. He couldnāt properly see the man, not when he had quickly gone back inside, but FĆliās mind was already running. Had this man come here for FĆli? Was he going to do something to him? Was FĆli in danger?
Trying to force himself to be brave, FĆli made his way to the window again, crouching next to it so he wouldnāt be seen. He raised his head a little just enough to look, and easily enough, he caught sight of the man, who wore a confused expression on his face as he looked around. He seemed lost, FĆli thought to himself. Maybe he wasnāt evil, after all.
The man was actually impressively handsome, and FĆli doubted anyone truly beautiful like this would ever be cruel. He was so enchanted by the manās good looks that he didnāt notice when the manās eyes started going up and up and up the tower, until his eyes met FĆliās.
Thanks for tagging me! I really enjoy your writing style! The bit about āplan that may have legs to stand, or swim, on, but no armsā literally made me laugh out loud :D
@z-aliada Thank you!!!! I was pretty proud of that line, and I'm so happy it made you laugh! I love when a comedic line I work on hits the mark and to see it hit with you is just awesome! I've got a few more coming up next time, so stay tuned! XD

Beating Heart. Lying in bed at 1am and get this...
This is so beatuiful, and so heartbreaking :( āI just want you to be here tooā - this just made me very emotional, as well as the line about Rogers being a bit jealous of Weaver because Tilly saw him as another father figure. Their relationship is my favorite thing about s7, so it was a real delight to see one more bit of that, however sad. Thank you!
THANK YOU. Iām SO GLAD you like it. Their relationship is my fav about S7 too!
Also, if you want more Woven Rook, we gotĀ Partners Beyond The GraveĀ by @wierdogal, in which Rumple use the heart connection to visited his partner in a dream.
@imgilmoregirlĀ ās Blonde Bond, where Weaver and Belle adopted Alice and his new partner, Rogers, turn out to be her biological father.
And we also have @leni-baāsĀ Something Blue, Weaver and Gold are twins AU, I love this one so much....
Such an interesting review! I love what you said about Wish Rumple. I felt for him myself. Of course he caused a lot of problems, but heās still a version of Rumple - one that would have become our Rumple had the circumstances been different.Ā
And yeah, Rumple jumping over the table is *something*! I loved the dynamics of the whole scene, to be honest - even the part when Rumple was hurt *now that must sound terrible but I canāt help myself, it was just too damn magnificent* Rumple fighting. Rumple rising again and again. Standing up for himself despite the pain, despite the desparation of never being reunited with Belle (or so he thought). Moving to protect the children while barely being able to walk. Being so brave and amazing that I couldnāt tear me eyes away.
And yes, Wish Rumple just coudnāt help but be distracted by his āweakerā version - after all, why go and kill the kids if you can have an exciting chat about your similarities? :D He WAS lonely indeed - and that totally bought our Rumple the needed time.
Alice and her fathers⦠aww, you made me feel things with this :( Iām so sad we wonāt get any interaction between them anymore. I LOVED every second of those bits we got, but it was still very little for my taste.Ā
And yes, I like Robertās Hamish Macbeth as well! <3 Only finished the first season, so two more are ahead of me!Ā
Oh my, when I posted my feels I never actually thought people would read my ramblings! Thank you so much @z-aliada !!
Youāll totally enjoy Hamish Macbeth, I promise! :)
Alice and two dads was a highlight of S7 for me and Iām really sad we didnāt get much of it...but alas we make do with what we have and Iām glad at least those bits werenāt cut.
And I agree with you...I donāt think I can hate any version of Rumple. And can anyone really blame Wish Rumple? He lost Belle and Bae. He was trapped it that damned cell for years and nobody dared to help him because locking up the Dark One was for everyoneās best interest...never even thinking that underneath the curse was still a man.
Oh, I actually still like calling them Weaver and Rogers <3 This just warms my heart for some reason, even though I do of course like Rumple/Killian as well :) But it were their cursed personalities that basically developed that bond, so theyāll always be special for me. In fact, I think itās the first time a cursed relationship had that much of an impact and was THAT intruguing to watch. Like, we knew nohting about Rumple and WHās history when we started watching s7, so it was frankly confusing, but no less fascinating because of that, if anything, it was more fascinating to see where they would take this. Honestly, i wasnāt harbouring any big hopes, but every new episode convinced me that it was going to big, and it absolutely was. Ā
And yes, I loved the whole exchange when Henry was talking about Wish Rumpleās demands. Rogers looked concerned and supportive. He and Regina both. In that moment, they were a real team, and it felt like the most amazing thing ever. Three former villains indeed, two of which hated each other and were ready to kill each other at the first sight. I donāt even want to say the words like āspectacular character developmentā because they wouldnāt be able to describe the beauty of it anyway, no words are THAT fulfilling.
āRogers declaring his old hideout like a proud childā - haha, yes! :D I LOVE the way you put it! if it wasnāt so hard to choose Iād say this is my favorite scene in 7x21, but it IS hard, so Iāll just say that Iām absolutely in love with it. And yes, Rumple is definitely used to the clutter :D
I also adore how subtly they show Killianās new perception of Rumple. 'looks like the villain, but isnātā line, 'Iāll find Weaver⦠our Rumpleā line - this last is so eloquent. For one, Rogers calls Rumple āWeaverā by a pure instinct. Thatās who he is to him. His partner. His friend. Not the Dark One, not Rumplestiltskin - not even Rumple! Our Rumple. Yes, this could just be done not to accidently summon Wish Rumple but there is certainly more to it.
Oh yes, I absolutely get you. I was also kind of pissed off with Henry, but on a good side - we got a defensive reaction on Rumpleās behalf from Regina and a couple of concerned looks from Killian, so Iād say weāre good :) And I actually regretted that Regina hadnāt let Killian go with Rumple. It could have been much fun :D And instead he was forced to stay with Henry who gave him a headache - quite literally.
And absolutely, Iām SO in love with the first chapter of your 'Stubborn Runs in the Familyā because you show the way Rogers and Regina couldāve expressed their concern had things been a bit different. And this 'could haveā isnāt about wishing something you canāt have, itās about the extending of what we did get, and thatās why it feels so legit and right.
Ahhhh thank you so much for your words @z-aliada! To be honest, Iāve never had someone reply to posts as detailed as this.
Can you imagine what would have happened if Rogers was the one that had accompanied Rumple? He wouldnāt have let Rumple out of his sight so he would have been there as the two Rumpleās talked and he would have picked on what his partner would be doing and ahhh the possibilities.
Yes for the reformed villains trio. When S7 was first announced, I was just excited because at least Rumple was returning. But as the season progressed, I could see why those three were the ones who returned. Because they were the reformed villains and this was a sort of new chapter for them...to start as the heroes and help the next generation.
When the spoiler came that Hook and Rumple would be partners, the main question on everyoneās mind was like what would their reaction be once they woke...which was what everyone was looking for after 7x4 but the relationship sort of stayed the same.
I was totally surprised by the interaction of Wish Hook and Rumple in the flashbacks during the mid-season finale but everything came into place when we saw 7x18 and ahhhhhhh we got so little but every second was worth it!
And thank you for your kind words for Stubborn Runs in The Family. I couldnāt stop thinking about it honestly.Ā
**As I look back, Iām tearing up again because I was so excited to see the Golden Hook/Woven Rook scenes for Part 2. Even if I had an inkling that Rumple would save Rogers...I didnāt expect it like that. ;( I still wished they had a proper goodbye in a sense and that the others knew that Rumple did make his way back to Belle. [Excuse me as I sob in the corner]
