I should save this for the 3 hours I'll be in the car tomorrow, but I have to read now! Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite Disney movies of all time and I just live the new Shoxx photos. MiA looks so gorgeous and Yo-ka is his usual handsome self.

Kouki as MiA's brother is such a cute visual. And yuck, what an awful place for them to be trapped in... the Ogre, the Monster, and the Beast turning it into a hellhole. MiA's kidnapper would get along well with those three.

I'm curious to see if there's some scarring on Yo-ka's face and that's why he hides beneath his cloak and veil.

Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite Disney films, too - in fact, it's pretty safe to say the only Disney film that has a bigger place in my heart is Hunchback of Notre Dame (which I'm not touching fanfic-wise). That's why I tried to do the story as much justice as I could!

And yes, I agree that your Jin would get along very well with The Ogre and The Monster, because they're true sociopaths like he seems to be! (BTW, your feisty MiA in that fic was an influence on my portrayal of MiA here, who's a lot more forward than the MiA of Camera Eye or my genie fic).

I did wind up reading the other two parts in the car so I owe you comments for those. I planned to watch Beauty and the Beast again before I read though because you've put me in the mood to watch it! It's such a classic.

They're all horrible people who delight in pain and suffering. It's a miracle Yo-ka didn't turn out to be just like them. (Omg really? I'm so flattered! I'm glad my MiA could inspire you)

Ooo, interesting set-up. I think it actually works better than a supernatural curse, because the brainwashing of a dictatorial father would be so much harder to overcome! Yo-ka's fortunate to have someone like Yoshiki around: someone who has seen the good in him and will nurture it the best he can.

Meanwhile, Gaston is the annoying fop he's supposed to be, and Kouki is so perfectly adorable as the (older?) brother prone to getting lost. I hope his injuries aren't too severe!

When I set out to do this fic, ground rule #1 was "nothing supernatural." Which made some things a challenge (the story had to work without a magical deadline for The Beast to fall in love), but in other ways, was kind of liberating. (No enchanted objects threatening to steal the spotlight from the central two!)

Yoshiki is definitely key to Yo-ka still having humanity buried deep inside. The fact that Yoshiki wasn't corrupted by all the brutality and corruption around him says a lot about his character - and the fact that he was so strong gave Yo-ka at least one positive influence in his life after his mother was gone.
