Kallura Beauty and the Beast AU!
I’M SO IN LOVE WITH THIS AU IDEA.(Also, this amv created by @magiesheartlove was absolutely amazing and if anyone hasn’t seen it yet you should TOTALLY check it out!! It’s so well timed and just … incredible in every way.)As far as this AU, maybe it’s so awesome because they fit the characters so well? Allura is so intelligent and lovely and courageous, and she already has such a strong connection with her father, so there is no doubt in my mind she’d jump straight into danger searching for him. And Keith tends to be more brooding and isolated, while still having a softer side. (Plus, he struggles with his identity so much in season 2, and at points clearly sees himself as a monster.) Not to mention the conflict between the two, and the eventual resolution. It all just works with the Beauty and the Beast so, so well!!
And this is a totally random connection, but we also see in season 2 Keith becoming obsessed with the knife, so much that he won’t even hand it over when threatened with death. JUST LIKE THE BEAST AND THE ROSE. To both of them, their signature object represents a painful past–though, in different ways.
OKAY I think I’m also just in love with the idea of Allura becoming acquainted with all of the castle staff? And so she’s always just talking and enjoying herself with them, and Keith just … slowly falls in love with her smiling and laughing and the staff just know she’s the one. And seeing her eyes light up at the library would probably be the death of him. And on top of everything, she’s proved herself so determined to rescue her father, and I think Keith would have A LOT of respect for her.
Plus Allura would look stunning in that iconic yellow dress
I’m sorry for just rambling, I wanted to do something more but my mind was stumped!! :’) I would absolutely LOVE to see a full fic of this AU for sure!!!!
