Prompt: Power Becomes Her
Summary: When Rumple comes back from Neverland, Belle is mayor and he finds her take charge attitude very alluring (taken directly from midstorm’s prompt challenge post).
Rating: T, because it was cut off before it got too good
Author’s Note: When you say you’re tempted to take a prompt, and you’re offered a firstborn, smut, and a graphic done by the flawless Midstorm, you know you have to do it. This is the result, though the ending caught me off guard. I questioned it but my muse demanded I do it and I think it turned out alright. I could seriously write sub/dom Rumbelle all day. This is also for the Mayor Belle Challenge, which is going on until June 2nd! Do our mayor proud and make something for her!
None of them knew what to expect when they returned home. They didn’t know if it would be burned to the ground, abandoned, crawling with government agents… Or if it would even exist. But it was still there, intact, not a single helicopter in sight. They didn’t know whether to be concerned or relieved.
Mr. Gold squinted, holding onto the railing of his old enemy’s ship. He could see people moving around on the docks, nonchalant as could be. He dared to hope that they were returning to something that resembled normal.
Mr. Gold glanced down at his side to see Henry intently watching the shore. His undoing. Of course much like the “cows” what happened wasn’t what he envisioned would; as the Shadow threatened to merge with Henry and turn him into the Leader of the Lost Ones, the Dark One became “undone”. That is he sobbed like a baby in front of everyone. It was quite embarrassing and every once in awhile Hook or Regina would glance sideways at him and smirk. He had to be restrained to keep from killing them. Frequently.
“To whom are you referring?” He asked.
Henry gave him a disbelieving look, “You know exactly who, Grandpa Gold. Your true love.”
“Shouldn’t you be helping your father and Hook dock?”
“Mom doesn’t want me to be stuck as mediator,” he explained.
Mr. Gold frowned, “Well someone ought to keep him from tossing the dear captain overboard.”
