    Summary

    Once upon a time there was a small village surrounded by vast woods. So small a town it was that it did not even have a name, and the woods were old and very dark and many forgotten secrets were sleeping within.

    In this town there lived a man, a printer by trade, who had moved there after his wife and children died and he found he could no longer bear to live in the city. His name was Robert Gadling, but he much preferred to be called Hob. He was a comely man, long chestnut hair shining in the sun, his back and chest made strong by the hard work of turning the press. The quiet of his new life did him good, and he slowly started to remember the good things about life again. A warm, homecooked meal, a long walk, a good night of uninterrupted sleep.

    The beauty and the beast AU you didn't know you need, but you're gonna get anyway, 'cause I can.
