Fanfic about Belle, Dead Shot and Rumpelstiltskin: What could be the plot?

Belle's inquisitive mind would make her want to understand both Dead Shot and Rumpelstiltskin. She would be the one to ask questions and try to find common ground. Dead Shot, who is used to operating alone, would be a bit annoyed by Belle's attempts at first but then start to appreciate her company. Rumpelstiltskin, with his complex personality, would play mind games with both of them. He would use Belle's compassion against her and try to tempt Dead Shot with rewards. Belle would strive to bring some humanity to Dead Shot and expose Rumpelstiltskin's true motives.

The plot could involve Belle being in a much darker situation than in the original story. Maybe she makes a deal with Rumpelstiltskin that has unforeseen tragic consequences. For example, she might try to save her village but end up sacrificing her own freedom in a more extreme way. Rumpelstiltskin, being his devious self, could twist the deal so that Belle finds herself trapped in a never - ending cycle of despair and regret.

One possible scenario could be that Belle, in her quest for knowledge, stumbles upon a realm where Death has a pact with Rumpelstiltskin. Maybe Belle is trying to break a curse and she has to negotiate with Death, who is using Rumpelstiltskin's magic as a tool. For example, Death could be using Rumpelstiltskin's spinning wheel to measure the fates of people. Belle then has to outwit both Death and Rumpelstiltskin to save her village from a plague that Death has brought as a result of the pact.

Well, Rumpelstiltskin could be filled with a mix of emotions. He might be scared at first, worried about whether he can be a good father. But as time passes, he grows more excited. He could start making little magical toys for the baby. Belle would be glowing with happiness and anticipation. She would likely be reading all the books she can find about raising a child, even in their magical world.

One possible main plot twist could be that Belle discovers Rumpelstiltskin has a secret good side that he's been hiding all along. Maybe he's been doing all his dark deeds to protect someone or something that he loves, and Belle helps him come to terms with showing his true self.

One idea is that Belle's pregnancy causes her to gain some new magical abilities. This makes Rumpelstiltskin both proud and a bit jealous. They then have to figure out how to control and use these new powers while also preparing for the baby. For example, Belle might be able to sense threats from afar now, and they use this to avoid danger.

One possible scenario could be that Rumpelstiltskin, despite his dark past, becomes extremely protective of Belle during her pregnancy. He might use his magic to ensure her comfort and safety, like creating a special charm to keep away any potential harm. He could also be seen gathering all the rare and precious items from his collection to make a perfect nursery for their unborn child.

Belle might interact with Death with fear at first. But being a strong - willed character, she would soon start to question Death's motives. For example, she could ask Death why he is involved with Rumpelstiltskin's schemes. She might also try to appeal to Death's sense of fairness, showing him how Rumpelstiltskin's actions are harming innocent people.

One possible plot could be that Belle is cursed instead of the Prince. Maybe she offends an enchantress in the forest while searching for a special flower to help her sick father. As she turns into a beast, she has to learn to control her new, wild instincts. The servants in the castle could also be transformed into various forest creatures. The story could then focus on her journey to break the curse, with the help of a kind-hearted stranger who sees beyond her beastly exterior.

One possibility is that they could form an unlikely friendship. Rumpelstiltskin, with his complex past, might see in Belle's daughter a chance for redemption. He could use his magic to protect her from the various dangers in their fairy - tale world. Maybe he teaches her some of his unique magic skills, but in a more positive way than he has used his magic in the past.
