“Mr. Gold.” Belle speaks hoarsely, her eyes trained on his photo. She considers for a moment. She nods. “I don’t think I want anything to do with him.”

Such a touching story. It's a great start for them finding their way back to each other.

How beautiful, and sad. Regina still using Belle in her power games, while Belle is left in pieces to take the fall (...that pun was not intended.) But still, she remembers, and nothing can really change what she has.

He doesn’t have the courage to stop her this time when she leaves. All he can do is lock himself away in the back room with his self-loathing, sure that he’ll wake up at any moment. He never does.

AHHHH. Watching himself do the same thing over again and hating himself again for it. My heart.

And then Gold goes and burns Regina's house to the fucking ground, the end.

ahhhh gosh I can't wait to see what Gold does to Regina or how it changes their relationship once he finds out. It's going to be epic. Thank you so much!
