    Summary

    Maybe if she had had a night to sleep on it, maybe if she hadn’t been trembling and dizzy with fear, she would have chosen differently. But really, it was the only way. To keep herself safe from the sadistic Captain “Black Jack” Randall, Belle had no choice but to marry that ridiculous brute Gaston. He’s handsome, but spoiled, selfish, and unkind, a true beast of a man. He finds her stubborn, contrary, and not at all like an obedient little wife should be. It seems impossible that they could ever become friends, let alone fall in love. But maybe, with a bit of understanding, reflection, and transformation, they can get their fairy tale happy ending after all.

    A retelling of Beauty and the Beast 1991, with Gaston in the role of the beast, set in an 18th century Outlander-inspired AU where England won its wars with France and now has authority over the country, and Belle and Maurice are English refugees living in France.

    Summary

    He tried to forget Adam, to destroy Adam, in those dark early days of the curse. He still doesn't believe that man will ever come back. He wants no reminder of him.

    "You can call me Beast," he tells her, his voice hard again, a cold challenge in his eyes as he meets hers. He finds a bitter satisfaction in the raw poetic symmetry of their names, both of them called exactly what they are, for Belle truly is a beauty, and he’s nothing more than an ugly creature now.

    Belle frowns and opens her mouth as if she wants to protest, but shuts it again and smooths her face into a thoughtful expression instead. "Alright...Beast."

    An exploration of how Belle uses his names and how that makes him feel as their relationship grows.

    Summary

    From the first moment Stede walks into Ed's car shop wearing a fedora and making rhinoceros noises to demonstrate the alarming sound his beat-up old car had been making, Ed is pretty sure the guy’s a lunatic.

    In a refreshing, charming, I-never-want-to-stop-staring-at-him kind of way.

    The more time Ed spends talking to Stede in his shop, the more sure of this he becomes, but also the more he just fucking loves it anyway. So when Stede asks Ed out to dinner, Ed is thrilled—but also scared, because for all of Stede's eccentricities, he's also a smart, refined, wholesome school teacher, and Ed is a scruffy ex-biker mechanic who feels like he’s never quite got his shit together. He just hopes he can make it through the date without blowing everything up.
