Summary
“Why didn’t you call for me, when the ogres came?”
She didn’t ask him what he meant. “Because we had nothing to offer.”
He stopped, genuinely puzzled, his arms full of straw. “Surely you jest.”
“Do I?”
“A pretty lass like you?” He leered. She thought it might have been playful. “I’d have traded for you.”

[RCIJ 2019] Rumbelle Christmas in July fic for avatoh (Otava)
Open Prompt
Summary: No one steals from the Dark One. You try that, you get skinned alive. Everyone knows that. But they also know he owns the best, most beautiful orchards in all the lands. When Belle’s village is starving to death during the Ogre Wars, she plucks up the courage to go and pick a basket of delicious, crisp apples from the Dark Gardens - which is quite enough to incur the beast’s wrath. Her life is forfeit - but then the eccentric sorcerer offers her a deal [...]. Desperate, Belle accepts - and she has one ace left up her sleeve: Just like her mother, she’s slowly losing her sight, has already gone night-blind, resulting in an extraordinarily sharp sense of smell.

Summary
Exactly what you think it is.
It’s cold outside and Belle just wants him to stay.
One-Shot based off the song ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside.’
I know the song’s pretty controversial lately because people think it’s ‘Rapey’ but it’s really not...
It’s always been one of my favourite Christmasy songs so I just had to do this.
Sorry, but I’m really not sorry.Bookmarked by Fablemonger
