Summary
Jefferson is a perfectly respectable business associate, but he's a smug, succulent bastard in bed, and Rumplestiltskin hates how much he loves it, so it’s all hate sex from his perspective. Nasty, noisy, non-stop sex until he leaves Jefferson dumb and drooling, bent over whatever’s holding him up, unable to formulate, much less deliver, a witty one-liner.
But this is not that.
This is something else.

Summary
The sorceress La Belle Dame Sans Merci, (or Belle for short), is a collector of magical items. Tipped off by the man in the red woolen hat, she visits a Frontlands village slave market to locate a rare glamor spell. Upon discovering that a sickly slave possesses a magical ability she has never encountered before, Belle takes him back with her to the Dark Castle to study him better. As Rumplestilskin recovers from his ordeal, Belle installs him as caretaker of her large estate, convincing herself it is only to observe him more closely. While Belle and Rumple grow ever closer together, the fairies of the Enchanted Forest conspire to rid themselves of the denizens of the Dark Castle for good.

A rewriting of the Rumbelle story. Completely set in the Enchanted Forest. Minor angst, but pretty much fluff. Some scenes are canon compliant, others are not.
