USUK or England/Anyone, Fairytale Adaptation

Arthur is a cranky heartless hooligan prince-turned-monster condemned to a life of isolation and bitterness, who can only be saved through a Kiss of True Love (before the enchanted rose's last petal falls, etc).
Enter Alfred, local Gaston hotshot determined to prove himself a hero, and what better way to do so than to slay the terrible, vicious Beast that lurks in yonder castle?
RUN WITH IT MY PRETTIES! Anons can take this however/wherever they want, but long fills are extra appreciated.
Don't like USUK? OP is fine with anyone else: winegrower/balladeer Francis, spunky islander Chelle, passing merchant Antonio, pretty lost Lili, strange foreigner Ivan(♥!!)...
Bonus? 1. For tragediennes: Arthur dies/becomes a complete animal when the rose withers. Al/Other finds this out in the worst way. 2. For comediennes: the kiss was completely by accident/platonic and LOLWTF ensues as Arthur becomes human again.

Once upon a time, there was a monster hunter. He was tall, handsome, brash and uncannily strong; rumor had it that his father’s father (or his father’s father’s father? Who would bother to remember such things?) was a giant, which would certainly account for his uncanny strength

This fill holds potential :D I loved the descriptions about Alfred and Matthew, and found that Alfred cared about his brother more than anyone else very heartwarming :) I look forward to updates!
Anon would love you forever if it turns out to be a Russia/America/Russia paring...♥♥ But I will read regardless of what pairing you decide to stick too :D

This is AWESOME. I love the way you remixed it - the bit about Al caring only for Matt but Matt running away anyway makes me grin. And heee, Artie is the beast. "And then those eyebrows! That was going over the top."
"No...he's always had those eyebrows."
Can't wait to see the others. And voting for Al and Artie to pair up.

Aah, Beauty and the Beast, my one true weakness! ;-;
I promise you my firstborn if I can have some Canada/Russia. Mostly though if i can just get me some sappy angst romance with a pretty happy ending I'll be fine though.

This is fantastic! Bookmarked LIEK WHOA.
And I know I'm in a distinct minority here but... if this somehow ends up UKCan I will weep for joy. Arthur and Mattie never get any silly fills together...
OP IS DANCING FOR JOY

You're off to a good start, anon! ♥ I eagerly await your updates, and thank you so so so so much for taking the time to fill this!
OP will not restrict you to any pairings, but she has a special sekritt burning passion for Canada/Russia and will love you forever and ever if you even hint at it. Yes that is how desperate I am. Also England/Russia. AND Russia/France. OP collects Russia rarepairs!?
Also, random UKCan anon above me, I love that ship and give it the OP seal of approval. (Are you following the syphilis UKCan fill right now? It's been amazing so far.)

Ha I love this prompt (and the fill so far!). I'm all for Al & Artie too, although mostly I would love Francis as Lumiere, bugging Arthur all the time and making his life generally hell, what with them being trapped in an enchanted castle together.
Really looking forward to seeing where you take this!
Most people in the pub knew to avoid him unless they had a job lined up, and those who didn’t saw him stroking the bayoneted musket he kept beside him (a source of comfort, even if steel was colder than any living thing‘s touch) and took a step back.
He did not mean to be a psychopath; he really didn’t. His sisters told him quite frequently that he was the sanest person they knew, and he trusted his sisters (and if anyone took offense to that he’d show them not to mess with Ivan Braginski, oh yes), so he thought it was probably everyone else who was wrong. They never seemed to hesitate when they had a ‘problem’ they needed solved, at least

“…Help me?” Ivan realized that Matthew was trying to talk to him. And was making a little gesture to a pile of money that had spontaneously appeared on the bar. When Ivan blinked at him, Matthew looked downcast. “I know it’s not much, but, um, I can go elsewhere if it’s not enough…”
Ivan smiled and patted Matthew on the back, ignoring the little oof the man produced as a result. “Do not worry; I will help you search for your brother...” He could feel Matthew let out a long breath in relief beneath his hand. “But only on one condition

Anyways, it was gone now, somewhere beyond those iron bars- wait, iron bars!? Alfred lurched to his feet, groaning at the protests of his muscles. The window was about stomach-height, big enough for a man to crawl through, and also blocked by very sturdy iron bars. Alfred looked around, suddenly alert; one entire side of the room was iron bars, the door heavily padlocked

I must say I would look forward to RusCan and UsUk. Then again I ship pretty much all pairings, still it would be nice to see some Russia/Canada. So far I'm really liking this fill, can't wait to see how it all turns out!

This is charming Author!Anon! I'm really enjoying the RU/CA so far, and I'm looking forward to seeing it develop. And Alfred is so fun to read in this fill. Can't wait for more!! Great job so far!
...bunny Italy is just sort of ridiculously cute. :3
I AM HAVING SO MUCH FUN READING ANON! Creepy Ivan! Mentions of his sisters! Drinking with Matthew sets my little RussCan loving heart aflutter~ ♥! Gilbo's cameo! (I cannot wait for his next appearance) Froggy Francis! Alfred, lovably thick and terrified of magic!
OP is really looking forward to the next parts, especially Arthur's debut. :D
