Brave Beauty

Brave Beauty is the femslash ship between Belle and Merida from the Once Upon A Time and Disney fandoms.

Canon
After Merida was freed from Arthur's dungeon, she "ropes" Belle into her task of saving her triplet brothers and reclaiming the Kingdom of DunBroch from the other three clans. Belle was hesitant to trust her, since Merida had knocker her out, until the archer princess explained her reasons and properly asks Belle for her help.

Fanon
While the ship is commonly focused on OUaT's version of the two, there are fans who use ship and its commonly used title with Disney's versions of them within the Disney Princess part of the Disney fandom, since the ABC television series has its own versions of the Disney characters and has a few traits from its series; and it being the live-action show that helped to trigger the ship.
