@rumbellewelcome
There was a Rumbelle rewrite of an entire two part dr who epi , it has Gaston in it as Ricky and Gaston runs into his twin self of that alternative universe as belle deals with her parents and Rumple is Running around being tennant ish and for the life of me can’t find it anymore , I think the writer was bullied off ao3 :( but if anyone has a copy please let me know it was an incredible Rumbelle fic
I’ve never heard of this one but if anyone has, please let Nonny know.
I’m looking for a fic set sometime after Rumpel is freed from the witch. Snow wonders whether anyone’s bothered to check on him, and when she finds out no one has, decides to right the wrong and takes baby Neal to his house and apologizes and offers to clean for him.
That does not ring a bell at all but it sounds wonderful.
Anyone? @rumbelle-ficbrarian
Any Rumbelle baby fanfic recs? Long ones pls!
There are a lot of these as well, though I think many of the older ones include Belle as Bae’s nurse in nonmagic AUs, rather than Rumbelle’s baby together.
Two recent ones (though neither is that long) are the Precious Moments series by @jackabelle73, ficlets set throughout Gideon’s baby- and childhood, and The Safest Place by @thestraggletag, a story and assorted prompts set in a verse where, to protect him, baby Gideon is sent back in time to Belle and Rumple in the Dark Castle.
Anyone have more recs for anon? @rumbelle-ficbrarian, want to weigh in?
Hi, I’m Missy and I read too much Rumbelle fic. I decided I’d make myself useful in the fandom though, so here’s where you should go if you need to find a certain fic or you’re looking for a fic rec. Hope to help you soon :)
May I add you to the list of general fandom blogs on @rumbellewelcome? This seems like a service newbies would love.
Hello there! Do you recommend any fics where Belle gets pregnant accidentally? Don't care if they're already in a relationship or not. They're always in love ;) I love such fics and I'm kinda new to the verse. Thanks a lot! :)
Welcome! There are SO MANY accidental pregnancy Rumbelle fics–those crazy kids have a tendency to get carried away.
Are you mostly looking for SB-based canon? Dark Castle era? Storybrooke non-magic AUs?
Folks, please pimp your favorites.
Shameless self-promotion, but this is pretty much the entire plot of my fic The Most Beautiful Mistake.
It’s a non-magic AU, Storybrooke, a slow-burn friends to lovers as they navigate this pregnancy.
Co-starring Neal as the voice of reason.
Yours was the very first one I thought of!
The other recent non-magic AU that came to mind was @emospritelet‘s The Waiting Game. And I know @leni-ba has done a Dark Castle pregnancy but I’m blanking on the title.
The Post of Legend Project.
As you can see, it’s already started...
I’m reblogging many famous art (drawning, manip, gif, etc) posts and tagging them as “posts of legend”--checking that tag here should be a crash course in the humor, angst, poetry, eroticism, and beauty that Rumbelle have inspired over the past six years.
If you have a legendary post (more than 1k notes) that you’d like me to include in the series, drop me a note or reblog it with the tag “rumbelle post of legend.”

No… Rumple… He's… He’s gone.
Imagine what the Rumbelle adventures looked like for ar least 20 years.
And add in their geek son, who would be fascinated by every creature they met and every new place they encountered…
Do you miss him?
I love this scene so much. Granny with her look at Archie to talk to Belle and Archie and Belle and OMg I can’t even.
Okay so a few days ago I started Once Upon A Time and I’m now at the episode where we first meet Belle and omg I ship them so hard!!! Rumple was already my favourite character from the beginning and Belle is just so amazing and <3<3<3
Welcome to Rumbelle! Please report to @thestraggletag and ask for The Thing, which has been prepared especially for you, the incoming newbie, as a way to fully immerse you into the fandom as quickly as possible. Think of it as a field guide to the Rumbelle fandom.
Welcome!!
Ahhhh! Welcome! This is a wonderfully creative fandom!
But you might need this…
You rang? :-)
Welcome to Rumbelle, the ship of dreams and tears! Once you’ve checked in with @thestraggletag for the Thing, you can stop by this blog for fic recs, answers to your burning questions, and a fanbase glossary.
Theme recommendations?
This new mod is considering changing the blog’s theme, as it is custom and I am apparently too stupid to edit it easily.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a theme that
Is idiot-mod friendly
Allows at least three or four custom links at the left or top
Lets me keep most/all of the current pretties (background, gifs)
Is free or at least not very expensive (say $10 or under)
?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome back to Rumbelle Welcome!
The wonderful @standbyyourmantis has stepped down as mod, so this blog is under new management. Thank you so much to her for running it.
I hope to keep this as a useful reference for people joining or growing in the fandom. So please, let me know if there are resources you wish had been around when you were a small, fluffy, innocent Rumbelle rookie.
To begin with, I want to make sure that the contact lists are up to date, and refresh them with anyone who wishes to add.
Fanbase Ambassadors
A shmancy term I just coined for people who are willing to share info and advice with newbies, and just generally lay out the welcome mat. The current list is:
@suallenparker
@thestraggletag
@whatisthisautumnsorcery
@rumplestiltskinsbulge
@theladyofthedarkcastle
@caskett-case
If you no longer want to be on this list because you’re not active in the fandom, or for any other reason, please let me know. And if you DO want to lend a hand to new Rumbellers, please ask me to add you.

The following are in our directory of general Rumbelle and OUAT blogs (rather than personal blogs). Again, please let me know if any of these are no longer active, or if you mod a general blog that you’d like to add.

We have a page of fic recommendations--please let me know if you have a rec list and I’ll add it.
What Else You Got?
In the near future I’ll be updating the calendar of annual Rumbelle fandom events, and I’m about to open up the glossary for suggestions.
In addition, I’d like to make a larger gif basket of Rumbelle-related handy reaction gifs--so please, gif makers, let me know if any of yours are available.
And eventually I’d like to add a collection of “posts of legend”--Rumbelle-related posts with more than a thousand notes, the things that every fanbase rookie should get to see. So if you have 1k or greater posts, again please send me the link or tag them with “Rumbelle post of legend.”
And again, I’d love any more ideas for how to welcome newcomers into the wide weird wondrous world of our OTP.
I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but what's Anyelle?
No need to apologize, that’s what we’re here for.
Anyelle is a subgenre where Belle is paired with a different Robert Carlyle character. So, Belle + Rush from Stargate: Universe becomes Rushbelle, Belle + Nosty from Safe is Nostelle, Belle + Will Plunkett from Plunkett and Macleane is Plunkelle, Belle + Barney Tompson is Barnelle, etc.
Ok I’ve been wondering… why is Anyelle such a thing but I’ve never seen Rumple paired with any of Emilie’s other characters?? I mean come on, Rumple showing up on the island and making Claire forget all about Charlie??
How about RUMPLE AND FUCKING DEMON CURUPIRA??? Come on!! Lol
That is called Anyem and you're right, it is comparatively less popular.
Hi! I read a fic awhile back and am hoping you might know where I can find it. It was an au where Gold and Belle knew each other in Storybrooke(they were both cursed), and Belle goes missing/is kidnapped, I think Mary Margaret winds up breaking her out of the hospital? Any help would be appreciated, as i can't seem to remember the title or author for the life of me!
Okay my darlings, you have your mission. Who knows what the fic is for the darling anon?
