Idk, I want Rumbelle back together because they're Beauty & the Beast and it was romantic and blah blah blah

But when you look at it its near impossible. Belle has given him several chances to give up his power lust for her and she's destroying herself over him, I think Belle's smart enough not to run back into his arm. If they get back together it'll probably be after an entire arc of 5a with Rumple trying to apologize (I think 4b will end with Rumple "sacrificing" himself again, but not deadly, just some other way)

It would be cool if we met a new Belle love interest. Combine yet another story with Beaut & the Beast and make Belle someone else... idk which, there aren't many highly-requested romance stories left (Camelot and Narnia are the two that I see requested most often, and besides Arthur/Guinevere, there's no real romance behind either). But y'know, they may throw in a completely random one. Or they may just keep her as Belle from B&TB and ship her with a random person, after all have you seen any movies/books besides OUAT where the Snow White Evil Queen steals Robin Hood from Maid Marian?
