Series: Beauty And The Beast
AU Criteria: Belle is half-fae on her mother's side… That explains a bit to me.
AU title (optional): Belle's Toll
Once upon a time, a lovely fae maiden found a wily inventor that showed her great kindness and enthralled her with his work. They slowly fell in love, and married. Her friend known as the Enchantress was not thrilled, less so when the fae informed her of her pregnancy.
The fae maiden was shunned by the rest of their kind for choosing a mortal lover, and so when she gave birth, the midwife was a mortal the inventor knew, and did not know the delicate nature of the fae. Sadly she passed. A few weeks after the birth, The Enchantress visited and planned to kill the child. However, looking into her face, and seeing the beautiful Fae Maiden she had spared the child.
Her companion, a changeling shapeshifter looked in on the child, and tilted his head. Something sparked between the two that walked the line between the Fae and the human worlds. Being only 3 years older, he did not understand what the connection was. But she knew.
She moved in nearby, a small castle, of modest means, and hired servants to serve them, and kept watch of Belle and Maurice to ensure they were safe, healthy, and cared for.
Gaston made the mistake of crossing her once, there is now an ass in town with suspiciously quaffed black mane.
