Very nice story.

So Belle is meant to become bait... exciting! I like that Nolan has made new weapons, looks like the Dark Man shared just a little too much information about himself. Poor Belle, now she really is a prisoner. Poor Emma too, will she find her child back? Ah, Belle is purchased..

Good to see that Emma get's out from working for Jones! Poor Belle, that's pretty bad to live through... and poor Gold too: almost losing her. Jones will definitely use his knowledge, I hope it won't cause too much trouble..

Interesting talk they had about Belle. I can understand Emma's resistance as she knows who and what he is (at least better than Belle does). Wow, those poor people being pushed in the vat... to be consumed like that... (I'm wondering if someone else did make it out alive though...)

Love the little speech he gives to Nolan: killing in a lady's bedroom is indeed not really the way to her heart... Poor Belle and Gold: apart again and seemingly for a while to come.. I like that Mary has to get tested as well to see how easily the nanobytes are transferred, and that it will still be ambiguous because of Regina. I was just wondering how many women he had already infected, when it turns out he can choose, making it a deliberate act. I like that a painful connection can develop: perhaps that will happen with him and Belle?

Wonder what they will do to Belle, will she be quaratined? Wow, he is coming to visit... I like how this time he's responsible for breaking the cup. Interesting interview talking about a kiss and with him listening in on the balcony...

Love how Belle responds with the first pirate remark. The nanobyte technology is interesting; like that you found a new use for the word spinner in that context. The Dark Man's background story is great: he was in a sense created by his enemies as they sought to dispose him. Belle could get into serious trouble now that she is infected and the nano's are looking for her... I like how many royals and goverments are infected: world domination may be in sight! I wonder if and how they might be able to catch Gold as he seems to be quite the adversary..

The charming pirate: always making innuendo's ;) I wonder what will happen with the Dark Man and the three officers as well as Belle, of course!

Can't wait to see where this goes!

Very lovely story. The last chapter was my favorite:)

She is taking in custody, bad very bad, I think they do experiments on her just for fun.

My my, very hot and spicy. Like it so far, and the steampunk flavor,ah.
