Summary
There is a prince, the villagers say, who is all things great and terrible. He has a voice that sounds like winter frost and a temper like a burning star. He is older than half the universe, has seen stars be born and civilizations fall, and thinks of a century passing as nothing more than a span of breath.
According to legend, the best part - or maybe, maybe it’s the worst part - is that when he reaches the end of one life, he can go on to the next. He can burn himself up with golden fire and be reborn with a different face, like a phoenix cheating death and rising from the flames, shaking off the ashes of its old self.
He’s a monster, some villagers say. A beast. A madman.
A fairy tale.
A Whouffaldi Beauty and the Beast AU, or: a fairy tale retelling of the episode ‘Deep Breath.’

Summary
In the deep blue waters of the open sea, beyond the safety of the shore and beneath a star-filled sky, the Sirens of Skaro reside. They sing their deadly songs and lure sailors into storms, and they do not feel and they do not regret and they certainly, absolutely, positively never rescue any of them.
But Clara Oswald, well...the little siren has never been one to follow the rules. So when she sees a man fall from his star-lit ship in a storm, she saves him.
She’s just faced with three problems. The first is she can’t speak, lest her deadly siren song slip out to harm him, and the second is she needs to figure out how to help him (and just maybe, possibly, hopefully herself) escape the deadly Dalek Cove without letting him know that she’s actually a siren herself.
And the third problem?
The third problem is that she just might be falling in love with him.

Summary
The man made of stars stands on Clara’s windowsill, his silhouette lit up by the moonlight, and she thinks that seeing him is like having an epiphany or remembering a long-forgotten dream, with the way she can see the galaxy in his eyes and sense the magic that swirls around him and scatters silver stars across his skin.
“You’ve been telling fairy tales,” he tells her, “but how would you like to be living in one instead?”
