-Rumbelle’s savior
I saw people in the Rumbelle tag looking for something to go with the amazing pictures and fic inspiration hit me

Rumplestiltskin stared out the window as he drove home. Meeting with his son earlier had not gone well. Belle’s memory was still gone. His mood was diminishing as thoughts of everything wrong with his life ran through his head. He drove past his shop and he saw a flash of red hair under a street light. A man, drunk no doubt, was grabbing Belle’s arm and visibly yelling at her. His blood boiled and his vision started to cloud over in a rage. Rumple pulled over stopping right behind the man, making him stop momentarily in surprise. He looked Belle over to find her in a blue short skirted dress, her hair had probably been put into a tighter bun but now it was in disarray, some strands of hair falling over her scared eyes. He grabbed his cane from the passenger seat and stepped out of his car quickly. The man yelled something at him but his ears were buzzing as he made his way towards the man, glaring intently upon his prey.
How dare he even deign to touch Belle! His cane swung through the air and hit the man on his head with a loud crack. The man started to tip over but Rumple wasn’t done with him just yet. Rumple’s fist came flying up to meet the man’s stomach toppling him over. His hearing started to return when he heard Belle’s soft cries. He glanced over to see her leaning against the wall holding a hand to her mouth. He looked back to see that the man was unconscious.
“Belle…” he whispered and walked to her tentatively. She flinched when he touched her arm but upon looking into his eyes she sagged into his arms, letting her tears and fear out.
“What happened, Belle?” he asked carefully holding her. She sniffed and stifled her crying to answer him.

Summary: AU starting in 1905. Anna is grateful for her new job at Downton, but her passion for dancing and music lead her to a fateful night at a cabaret.
