About the Muse
This is a blog based on and around Once Upon a Time an ABC tv show from 2011 - 2018
While Belle was more of a side character I like to expand her story and explore story possibilities. I also like shipping but itâs not mandatory. I like to go with the flow but also plot out ideas. I am (the mun) Autistic and donât want to overstep or overthink the threads.
Here is a map of Belleâs Storybrooke domain but she loves adventure and I am open to her traveling.
Shadows in the Hall
@combeferre-the-mothman
It had been a brutal war when Duke French had requested help from all over the kingdom. Most notably the Dark One. After losing his wife he didnât expect Belle to willingly follow the Dark One for everyoneâs sake.
On her way out Belle spotted the glint of dark metal. Perhaps things would have been different if he showed up first. So Belle went with Rumple, fell in love with him, and at the moment was sulking through the forest after having been cast out of his castle. She was trying to adjust her map on a log when she saw a glint of dark metal in the trees. âWhoâs there?â
Belle smiled into his kisses, pressing closer to him. She began to sway as if they were dancing to nonexistent music.
Ferre gripped her tighter as he kissed her deeper wanting nothing more than to be with her through until morning.
Belle happily hummed into his kisses, she quaked into his touch. She felt her anxieties melt away as she nodded and felt the temperature and tension rise between them. Only to burst into sudden inflamed passion. When they were done she was breathless, clinging to him. âFerreâŠyou are a dream.â She told him with a grin, her mind still spinning.
Ferre smiled a little bit at her comment and shook his head slightly, âCome on, letâs have that bath,â he kissed her cheek and then carried her to the bathtub where he began to prepare everything.
Belle leaned into his touch. When she got into the water she sighed happily before pulling Ferre in with her. âMy amazing husbandâŠâ she whispered.
âYes my lovely wife?â Ferre asked as he settled into the water.
âNothing, just basking in your presence.â Belle mused, giving him a kiss.
Ferre kissed back and played with her hair gently.
Belle smiled and ran her fingers through his hair as she gazed lovingly in his eyes.
Ferre wrapped his arms around her and hummed softly.
Belle kissed him again for the most blissful amount of time when she began to hear voices on the other side of the door. âShhhhâŠâ she told Ferre as concern etched on her features. Luckily the voices seemed uninterested in the door but something else was clearly going on.
Ferre kissed back and went still and quiet when she shushed him. He closed his eyes and tried to listen in on the conversation.
They were servers. Getting ready for a massive ballroom event in merely a few hours. Then they could see her again. Queen Clarisse encased in amber from the Pixie Dust tree. Belle looked to Ferre and made a nod like âare you hearing this!?â

( Ë ÂłË)  my muse has kissed yours on their cheek. How do they react?
Isaiah Bailey & Jordan Lee Gilbert, POTO US Tour 2026
I'm fine, I swear. It's not like I've been wanting to gif Isaiah and Jordan for months or anything.

I doubt this was what the actor was going for but the way Katara reacts here reads to me as very much how she might react if sheâd been harbouring a lil crush on the blue spiritâŠ
Like others have pointed out, the show makes it clear that Katara kept sneaking out repeatedly to be the painted lady, as did zuko at the same time to be the blue spirit, and this continued after they first encountered each other and zuko realised who she was. So they might well have had more interactions that we didnât see, especially since zuko seemed to develop a minor fixation on Katara (watching her back at the villa, following her through the market). But possibly most telling⊠when the two of them are captured, the locals refer to him as her sidekick. Kind of a weird thing to say unless theyâve been repeatedly seen in action together. So, plenty of evidence that theyâve been working together in their vigilante disguises, and possibly even spoken a small amount.
When they get thrown into prison together without their disguises, zuko is tense and reluctant to turn around because he knows she wonât react well⊠but Katara seems excited to finally see who the mysterious blue spirit is, as though sheâs been wondering about him and wanting to know more. And when itâs revealed that heâs none other than zuko, she is obviously angry and upset, but she also seems⊠embarrassed?? The âIâm such an idiotâ line and the turning away as though wanting to hide definitely caught my attention. It comes off like sheâs not just shocked and disappointed that she was working with her enemy, but specifically horrified and frustrated with herself. For what? Perhaps for being so fascinated by the dashing blue spirit she felt such kinship with? Perhaps even for having daydreams of his identity reveal going very differentlyâŠ?
Plus zukoâs reply and how he seems sad about her reaction, but very unsurprised. It would make sense if he KNEW theyâd been vibing and maybe even flirting a little in their painted spirit disguises⊠but he always knew that would all change as soon as she knew who he was.
Yes obviously Iâm viewing this with a heavy Zutara bias but thatâs the funnest way to watch the show, sue me
first meeting sentence starters.
send one to have our muses meet for the first time.
âSorry, were you just talking to me?â
âI think you dropped this.â
âYou look lost. Need some help?â
âI donât usually talk to strangers, butâŠâ
âYouâre sitting in my spot.â
âWhoa! Careful!â
âWeâve never met, right? You seem familiar.â
âIs that seat taken?â
âSorry, I think I just spilled something on you.â
âYouâre blocking the doorway.â
âWere you just staring at me?â
âExcuse me, do you know the time?â
âWait â are you the person Iâm supposed to meet?â
âIâve been sent to find you.â
âPlease donât be alarmed, but I think we have the same bag.â
âDo you work here?â
âIâm fairly certain thatâs mine.â
âYouâve got something on your face.â
âSorry, I thought you were someone else.â
âDo you know the way to ___?â
âYouâre hurt. Do you need help?â
âThatâs a fine ___ (cloak/hat/book/etc.). Where did you get it?â
âThis might sound strange, but can I hide behind you for a moment?â
âYou look like you could use a friend.â
âI think your dog just stole my lunch.â
âHey, you dropped your coin purse.â
âI think weâre stuck in here together.â
âSorry, I didnât mean to overhear, butâŠâ
âAre you the new neighbor?â
âFirst time in town?â
âIâm not sure if this belongs to you, butâŠâ
âYou look like youâve seen a ghost.â
âIâve been hearing a lot about you.â
âDo you mind if I join you?â
âI think youâre in the wrong place.â
âYou seem⊠out of place.â
âDonât take this the wrong way, but are you following me?â
âThat was a close call.â
âNot to alarm you, but someoneâs watching you.â
âMind if I walk with you?â
âYou look like youâre in trouble.â
âWas that your doing back there?â
âYou donât look like youâre from around here.â
âThat was impressive. Howâd you manage it?â
âIâm guessing youâre not here by accident.â
âDo I want to know what just happened?â
âYou might want to keep your voice down.â
âIs it always this strange around here?â
âI have a feeling weâre about to become acquainted whether we like it or not.â
âLooks like weâre in this together now.â
âwhy are you threatened by anyone different from you?â
Send đ to blow a kiss to my muse
I keep thinking about the NATLA version of the Crystal Catacombs scene. I had to draw my favorite quote :)
"You know that men dread getting a dad bod but not me?" Benji chuckled as he walked over to his wife. Benji was no longer skinny but his bulk is mostly muscular. "I'm actually enjoying this."
@benjinielsen
âI always think you look amazing my darling husband.â Belle told him, wrapping her arms around his waist and kissing his shoulder. âYou make it really hard to go back to work sometimes.â
"Do you really have to leave, my darling?" Benji kissed her cheek and nuzzled her.
Belle kissed him in return. âI suppose one day off couldnât hurtâŠwhat did you have in mind?â She asked, nuzzling him back.
"We could stay in for a bit and cuddle on the couch, then have something to eat by our cafe before we pick up the little one from school... Or we could go straight to the extreme cuddling before we pick up the little one and we all eat by the cafe." Benji stroked Belle's cheek.
âIs that what we are calling it?â Belle asked with a happy chuckle. âHow about you decide? Either sound doable.â She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
"How about we toss a coin?" Benji held up his lucky coin.
âWhy not?â Belle asked with a smirk. She watched him flip the coin excitedly.
Benji looked at the coin. "Well? What do you think?"
Belle smiled at it. âJust what I wanted too.â She told him and she kissed him, slowly deepening the kiss.
Benji kissed Belle back and grabbed their blanket from their couch.
Few hours later, they were on the floor cuddling together. "I love you..."
âI love you tooâŠâ Belle mused, cupping his face before kissing him once more. âAt this rate we might soon have more.â
"I wouldn't mind a big family..." Benji sighed happily. "You?"
Belle smiled. âI wouldnât mind so long as I am with you.â She mused, kissing him. âSpeaking of family we should clean ourselves up before we see our little one.â
Benji nodded and led Belle to the shower. "Ladies first..."
Belle smiled and went in and showered. She wrapped herself in a towel. âAll yours.â She told him, handing him a towel.
Benji looked at her with a cheeky grin before showering. "How's the weather?"
âFantastic with you here.â Belle answered him with a kiss before wrapping her arms around him. She had already changed while he was showering.
"I haven't dried myself yet." Benji grinned as he pushed his wet hair back.
âThatâs never stopped us before~.â Belle mused, giving him a kiss.
"Mmm... Let me finish up before I get you wet in more than one way..." Benji teased.
Belle blushed, âWe do still have your daughter to pick up. So perhaps bookmark that.â She told him before she left the room to organize the library. Her face still flushed in happiness. She wondered if perhaps they should marry, perhaps extend the family.
"You know that men dread getting a dad bod but not me?" Benji chuckled as he walked over to his wife. Benji was no longer skinny but his bulk is mostly muscular. "I'm actually enjoying this."

Everyday Bliss
@countfromthecarpathians
Belle stirred as she heard an all too familiar sound. âVlad-Vlad the babyâs crying. She probably needs to be fed. Iâll be right back.â She whispered. She was exhausted, she imagined they both were.
âOh there is no forcing. Granny is quite stubborn. She still insists on running the diner when she could be happily retired by now. I think she needs it, to stay in the know with everyone in town.â Ruby explained
âWhat could I possibly mean by that? It was merely an observation.â Rumple defended. Although he was still staring at Belleâs ring as he ate.
Belle gazed lovingly at Dracula when she wasnât eating. She didnât even notice.
Dracula smiled that wicked smile of his as he gently caressed his wife's cheek, confident in his position as her husband.
Belle blushed as the rest continued to eat, although Snow tried to get Renfield to heat up her and Charmingâs food a few times but after they were brought bugs on at least three occasions they stopped and continued eating.
âSo whatâs the romance like? Got a Morticia, Gomez sort of thing going on?â Regina asked. âTell us your secret!â
âItâs simple, really. I treat my Belle like a queen, and in return, she treats me like a king. All the while, we raise our little Rose the best we can.â
Belle smiled and kissed him as she then heard a squeal and little Rose came running out into her mamaâs open arms. She pointed to Ruby âDoggie!â She exclaimed as Ruby laughed. âNo Rosie thatâs Ruby.â She then pointed to Rumple âFrownie Clownie.â and laughed. âNo Rosie thatâs Rumple.â Belle told her. Rose then looked to Dracula. âRumple Fumple Dumple Doo.â She laughed.

â â I spit on your happiness! I spit on your idea of lifeâthat life that must go on, come what may. You are all like dogs that lick everything they smell. You with your promise of a humdrum happinessâprovided a person doesnât ask much of life. I want everything of life, I do; and I want it now! I want it total, complete: otherwise I reject it! I will not be moderate. I will not be satisfied with the bit of cake you offer me if I promise to be a good little girl. I want to be sure of everything this very day; sure that everything will be as beautiful as when I was a little girl. If not, I want to die!â
âWhen, exactly was the last time you met a normal person?â (From @travelingthroughworlds )
"What exactly is normal?" the Doctor asked her, "I've never heard of any such thing as a normal person before. Everyone is unique and special."
Belle smiled. âThatâs what I like about you. You always see the good in people.â
"In humans, yes," he told her, "There are creatures out there in the universe with no good ones in the species."
âLike what?â Belle asked with a hint of concern.
"Daleks," the Doctor told her, "Cybermen."
Belle thought back on their adventures. âThe metal soldiers and the walking cauldrons?â She asked with a chuckle. âWhy do you think that is?â
"They were just made to be evil," the Doctor shrugged, "I've tried to figure out why some become evil and have yet to come up with an answer."
âPerhaps there is something in their wiring or a feeling of such profound vulnerability?â Belle questioned. âSometimes I ask that same question about people. Speaking of tell me you havenât recently bought anything magical from Rumple. They tend to have unforeseen consequences.â
"I haven't bought or even interacted with Rumple since the last time I was with you," the Doctor assured her.
âGood, he seems intent on getting you to buy something with magic but everything with magic comes with a price. Not just gold either Iâm talking a piece of your smile or an old memory. Possibly even your name.â She paused, shuffling through a book. âIâve been looking around the libraryâŠI know there was a warâŠon Gallifrey. Want to talk about it?â Belle asked concerned.
"Most magic is just science in disguise," he told her, "I don't trust anyone who'd be willing to lie about such things. Of course I won't go along with his 'magic,' as I can tell he's just trying to take advantage." He shrugged and thought for a moment about her other question.
"It was a long time ago," he told her, "I don't really like talking about it."
âYou forget science is new to me. All Iâve ever known is a world of magic.â Belle told him playfully. âAs for Rumple, donât worry. Heâs not normally like that to everyone.â She then paused at his words and went over and cupped his cheek. âIf ever you want to talk about it, Iâm here.â
"You'll be the first to know if I do," he assured her, "But right now we have way more interesting things to do and places to see."
âFair, so where are we going now?â Belle asked excitedly.
