What the hell?! Are all the rest of these going to be horribly heartbreaking?!

I loved this story! What a bittersweet thought. My own personal opinion is that this story, Baby's Breath, is a bigger tear jerker than Sweet Catastrophe; although SC is needed for BB. Thank you for writing them. I thoroughly enjoyed the read. :)

Gah, bittersweet is right. You write the characters so well. Belle longing for a child, Rum's desire to see Belle happy, both of them willing to place a child's future welfare above their own happiness right now...sniff. Thank gods they can find some comfort in each other.

Can you pretty pretty please write a story where they have a child? please oh please!

Forgot to mention this in my previous review, but I love the idea of Rum with a daughter. So sweet.

The reasoning makes sense. It is all interesting and sweet.

It does make me wonder what Jolie's reaction was to Rumplestiltskin's deal with Ashley. Did she want to raise that child? Was that her chance to be a mother? Am I shamelessly suggesting ideas for more stories so that you write more in this world?

For that matter, what was Regina's reaction to Jolie as Gold's wife? That could be an interesting area to explore.

The whole series is fantastic; one of the best Rumbelle takes there is. I hope you let us continue to play in it.

Oh my goodness you ship these to the best out of all the fanfic writers. You're always doing a brilliant job. I love it :)

Oh,so heart-breakingly sad!

so sad! Sigh, I wish that half of these things were real in the actual show. i hate how there really are no happy endings or even resolutions. What was the point of showing us Belle in the asylum wing if she isn't gonna trot her out to torture Rumple? I mean, I don't want him tortured but i would love another episode focused on him and maybe an attempt to enfold the Beauty and Beast thing back into it. Cinderella got back with her prince. sigh, so not fair.

Anyways, I love your additions to this series you have going, even if they are sad, they feed my obsession and make me happy all the same. :P

This hurts to read! It's so good! I love how you thought of different ways that the curse would affect everyone - I'd never even thought about Ashley being pregnant the whole time. But wait are they allowed to kiss now?

I really liked this one. I can feel the tension between Jolie and Rum. And the idea that he takes Henry to Regina is just...heartbreaking. But the way you've written it puts me right there watching it. I love this universe, but I agree with the other reviewers. Bittersweet writing is great, but I would like to see them happy once, maybe in a fantasy. Or something...I dunno, you're the author. Great job! I love this series.

Ah that was so bittersweet! I can't tell you how much I love this mini universe you've created. It's just fantastic. I love the idea that everything Rumple/Mr gold has done was on purpose in order to defeat the queen and break the curse. It is definitely something he seems capable of. I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Oh Goodness...I didn't get why he didn't want her to go, so I felt the same shock and pain as Belle when I read it. And The pretending...ouch...I never imagine him older than 10...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

I don't know why you don't have more reviewers when it is so obvious your stories are amazing! Please know that you at least have one faithful reader and reviewer here! :)

I have loved all of your stories so far but you can't have bittersweet all the time. Maybe something a little bit happier would be nice for a change, just one story or something.

I've been enjoying your Breathe Symphonies. This was a good installment. A little sad at times - as it should be, but sweet as well. Please keep them coming.
