An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
Once upon a time, in a humble, provincial town, a proud, heroic man stood above all the rest. A hunter by trade, he’d stride through his home, carrying his latest kill over his shoulders. Men would cheer! Women would swoon! All but the one, far more beautiful than the rest. Clad in blue with her nose always buried in a book, she strode through the town without giving this hero a second look.
But it didn’t matter, for deep within his heart, Gaston knew the day would come where he would capture that maiden’s heart! Yes, it was all just a matter of time before she closed that book and saw what was right in front of her…
Or so he thought.
It all happened so fast. One night, the very night that crazy, old Maurice threw himself into the pub, the air crackled with lightning. Thunder bellowed. At the time, Gaston had chalked it up to nothing more than odd weather…
Then came the Heartless.
