In honor of BatB's 20th anniversary, I wrote what is probably the hardest thing I've ever done, getting inside Belle's head during the Beast's transformation.

Sometimes there are no heroes or villains. Sometimes we have to submit to the lesser of two evils. Sometimes people can't be redeemed. Sometimes we do what we have to do to hang onto the last shred of hope. -Dark AU, Stockholm Syndrome-

Two years after the night the spell was broken not everyone is living happily ever after. When Gaston tricks the Enchantress into casting another spell, the royal couple's love is tested to its limits and Gaston himself gets more than he bargained for.

Once there lived a huntsman who was spoiled, selfish and unkind. In his arrogance and vanity he nearly brought about his own demise. He was spared from death by an enchantress, who cursed him. Until he learned to love selflessly he would remain a beast.

Gaston didn't like Christmas. And it began to look like Christmas didn't much like him, either.

What if Belle had taken a moment in the West Wing after the ballroom scene to consider what she was doing before she left? What if she said "I love you" first? An alternate 3rd act/ending to the movie, with the Beast facing the climax in human form.

Harry Potter Crossover, a young witch only wants to do some good to the world.

Becoming a prince again was just the beginning. Post-movie.

An alternative ending, starting with the mob scene. What could have happened when Belle opened the door to Monsieur D'Arque.

What if Chip doesn't stow away with Belle when she leaves, but instead goes to talk with the Beast? Let's find out, shall we? This is a oneshot.

A 'normal' day in the Maison des Lunes. Thanks to Trudi for beta-ing!

It was obvious. It was so obvious that she momentarily thought Gaston had been right, she was mad to have missed it... Belle's thoughts, post transformation.

A short, one chapter account from Belle's point of view of an evening shortly following the night when the Beast saves her life in the woods, and her view of the changes she begins to see in someone from whom she thought their could be nothing more from.

Two older people look at each other a little differently.

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Gaston is afraid of nothing, save for one day out of the month...for good reason. Dedicated to Klaske of B&S.

He has been dancing since he was a boy... so why should the familiar steps come so difficult tonight? Shorty oneshot.

AU X-over between Beauty and the Beast, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Assassin's Creed. 2 stories intertwine: one in the past, one in the future. The tale as old as time meets the quest for the Fountain of Youth. Ignores movie 4.

Once upon a time, a young Princess lived in a shining castle, a small town boy wanted to escape and fulfill his own dreams and a house of enchanted objects were at their wits ends trying to bring them together. This is BatB as you've never seen it before

The spell has finally been broken. The Beast has some explaining to do, and Belle has a few secrets of her own to get out: she knew about the curse. Postmovie oneshot.

Oneshot. A grand ball is being held at the castle, but Belle is nowhere to be seen. Aimon leaves the party to find her, and they share some time in the library.

BatB with a twist. Belle has to make a stop at a mysterious castle in the woods. With the enchanted household too eager to make her stay and a master that has accepted his beastly form, Belle soon finds herself intrigued with the cursed prince.

What if Gaston lived in a world without Belle? What if the Beast character were a woman? An AU "Beauty and the Beast" story based in part on early French and Louisianan history.

Everyone in the village of Ste.Eulalie is ready for Christmas, except for Belle...and one other. Can Belle share in the holiday spirit too?

Does anyone realize how young Prince Adam must have been when he was cursed? What really happened?

Oneshot. My version of the movie's ending written from Belle's point of view. It could also be consider a prologue to my other story, Warmth. UPDATE: I've pretty much gone through and rewritten this story with more overall feeling and detail.
