The Once Upon A Time Rewrite Project

Can you Imagine if a mentally ill queer rewrote Once Upon A Time? Look no further than at the once upon a time rewrite project. Under construction of Box

This Story Has Been Told Before : My Main series for my Once Upon A Rewrite. It's a retelling of Once Upon A Time with the same characters but they've all been changed. As well as the same storylines (and different ones)

Requiem: A Rumbelle fic set in This Story Has Been Told Before. Showing how both sides are feeling after their "Separation". Also has slight golden lace at the last chapter.

A Story As Ancient As Time Itself: My Swap Au for my Once Upon A Rewrite. Has Dark One Belle and a villainous Snow White.

Darkness Consumes: A one shot (if people want more I'll add more chapters) about Rewrite Belle getting bitten by a creature that changes her from her core. (Vampire! Belle)

Antiquities and Their Cost: Modern Au for My rewrite. Belle French longs to live her life not just survive. She makes a deal with Notorious Roman Gold to open the town library.

When in Storybrooke: One shot fics set during This Story Has Been Told Before. Mostly during the curse and will have the cursed memories.

While all for my rewrite can be read as Once Upon A Time Aus 🙂‍↕️

Au edits

Au Edit Rambling Part 1 (Hopefully you guys like this! I struggle with writing out my full fleshed thoughts, but figured this could help get my ideas out into the world!):

“Lacey Tay” is a thief in Robin Hood's band of merry men. She was once of nobility, but after tragedy struck and her people were suffering, she realized she needed to get her hands dirty. She changed her name and fled into thieving from the rich to the poor.

One day, after a heist for a magic wand to bring magic to those in poverty, she finds herself out running fairies. Luckily, she finds a grotto, and in that grotto is a large tower that she can sense wards on.

Rumplestillskin is a half fae born to a cruel man and a fairy who longed to be human. To hide him away, his mother instructed her beloved to take him to a secret grotto. The man agreed, believing she would follow.

She didnt.

After a few months, he named the child Rumplestillskin and began blaming everything on the boy. That is, until he discovers, with an incantation, that the boy grants youth. However, that joy was nothing compared to the joy he felt when he found out the boy had spun straw into gold.

Lacey breaks Rumplestillskin out and begins bonding with the naive boy. However, their adventure is merely beginning because the fairies no longer care about a stolen magic wand when the object of their desires is finally out of hiding.

The immense joy I get from drawing Robert the Carlyle should be studied! Anyways I've been watching season six and gosh the concept for fanfics and Aus are so peak between rumbelle. I like how just emotional they get!

Chapter Two Is up!!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/82591256

Chapters: 1/?

Fandom: Once Upon a Time (TV)

Rating: Explicit

Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence

Relationships: Belle/Rumplestiltskin | Mr. Gold

Characters: Belle (Once Upon a Time), Lacey (Once Upon a Time), Rumplestiltskin | Mr. Gold

Additional Tags: Cursed Storybrooke (Once Upon a Time), Cursed Belle (Once Upon a Time), Dark One's Dagger (Once Upon a Time), Knifeplay, Blood Drinking, Shameless Smut, Porn With Plot, Dom/sub Undertones, fem dom, Sub Rumplestiltskin | Mr. Gold, Dom Belle (Once Upon a Time), Unresolved Romantic Tension, Improper use of Dark One Dagger (Once Upon a Time)

Summary:

For as long as Roman Gold and Lacey French can remember, they've been involved with one another in ways that would put a sensible person to their knees. It certainly doesn't help that to add on to their already depraved acts, Lacey always brings along her dagger, and Roman always ends up wanting more.

In other words, while working on an edit, Box was struck by a concept of cursed Rumbelle! The curse gives her his dagger, and what's Librarian Lacey French has to do with it? Use it on the town monster of course!

As per usual I disappear and yet I've come back with a CONCEPT TURNED FIC FREE ME!

[the-chipped-cup-awards]

Character: Dark One!Belle

What if Belle were not the light to Rumple’s darkness? What if Belle herself was dark of heart, or even became a Dark One herself? What would that look like? How would it feel? Our wonderful Rumbelle writers take on the challenge of answering those questions in spectacular fics that show our beloved Belle as a foil to her usual self.

In the category of Best Dark One!Belle, the winner of the 2026 Chipped Cup Award is…

OMFGGG TYSM!!!!! AHHHH!!!!

[once-upon-a-rewrite]

So I started once upon a time during season two and thusly I didnt get to see this masterpiece live when it first came out. However the moment I watched it I found I could not stop watching it. It's a gorgeous and perfectly written masterpiece. There's a beauty in letting people you love go and there's a deeper beauty when they come back because they love you too. Rumbelle is very near and dear to me since the first moment I saw Robert Carlyle play Rumplestillskin I was drawn into this show. Because of that when Rumbelle was shown to me it brought me to a whole new world. I am in fandom spaces because of Rumbelle and I owe everything to them. So a hug thank-you Robert and Emilie with you I don't know who I'd be.

REMADE AN OLD EDIT FROM A YEAR AGO!!

[once-upon-a-rewrite]

In another life they would have had the time to truly reconcile

For Your Consideration

Everything Is:

When Roman Gold protects Belle French from the cold, hard ground, something strikes between the two. Who knew it would all start with a fall?

Possible Categories: Best Holiday-Centric, Best Mr. Gold, Best Rumbelle Secret Santa

Antiquities and their cost: After Hours:

Set in Antiquities and Their Cost, roughly seven months after Belle accepts the deal. After being around Roman Gold for a considerable period, Belle begins to feel too much tension. Instead of having interruptions or walking away from one another, the two decide to start doing a far more pleasurable activity to ease the tension that's been coiling between them.

Possible Categories: PWP, Best AU - Based On Once Upon a Time, Comedy
