Swinging by from the server: the talk of the daughter’s flies being around reader was so cute. Imagine if you just came across a pile of Bela in your room or something- just a clump of flies from Cassie or Dani in the corner watching you- ahaha such an adorable thought really! What do you think?
- AK Anon
I loved this conversation, hon XD very odd indeed, but very fun🙌
Masterlists
Bela
She likes to keep at least one of her flies with you at all times when she’s busy and you’re left to roam the castle on your own
For safety purposes, she reasons
She doesn’t want you to get in trouble, she reasons
The castle is such a dangerous place, she reasons
You know, she enjoys being close to you, and likes to personally ensure your safety
You don’t mind, you like the little winged companion travelling with you
Usually, she sends out one or two flies to hover near or on top of you
Often, you allow the small insects to sit on your shoulder as you go about your day
During those times, you often feel her nuzzle against your neck or shoulders, even in such a separated form of her swarm, eager to receive contact
You’d never think of denying it to her
Then, there are other times, such as when you’re kept busy for painfully long
Now, sometimes when you’re working on finishing up some papers, you’ll have your girlfriend sit patiently
Yet, as time drags on, Bela gets restless and bored
Instead, she swarms off, and leaves you with a couple of her flies
You consider them your companions in such times, your tiny assistants eager to bring you what you need
Often, they retrieve little things for you, such as paper clips
They purr happily when you praise them and allow them to drop the items in your hand, their tiny wings flapping excitedly, their little arms and legs rubbing along one another
At other times, you see the tiny insects flap their wings in a desperate attempt to lift a pencil multiple times their size and weight
Upon satisfying you and bringing you all you need, even the little insects come to rest for once
You watch as they all huddle together in a pile of flies at the edge of your desk
Then, silent purring is heard, so quiet you must hold your breath and lean in to even hear it
However, the sound is unmistakably a small version of the purrs your girlfriend is capable of doing
The pile of insects lays, mostly unmoving, as you work, and only sometimes can you spot an insect moving about
When you finish your work at last, they all seem to come alive again, tiny wings flapping in an attempt to reach Bela when she swarms back into the room
You smile fondly at her
Cassandra
She insists on being close to you
Cassandra is, even if she would rather face a snowstorm in the middle of December than admit it, very clingy and protective
You’re her precious lamb. Her lover. Her everything
She often feels anxiety when she doesn’t know where you are, even if she attempts to keep this a secret
The castle is grand, and dangerous. She worries. She knows, her family isn’t the only threat here
As such, Cassandra likes to keep some of her flies attached to you
She tries to keep these a secret too. Opting for hiding around corners or far up, little insects attempting to stay hidden
When you catch one and clasp your hollowed palms over one of her little insects, she tenses. Each time, without fail, a dark crimson blush on her cheeks and a frustrated, embarrassed snarl passing her lips
When encouraged to be less secretive about her little flies, she opts for travelling by pocket. Yours
Cassandra likes it best when you happen to wear a top with a front pocket at your chest. When controlling one of her flies, she likes to stay huddled up in there
It’s warm, and close to you. Two things that are among ger favorite things in the world. Not that she’d admit that
She stays like this every day, whether in the dungeons torturing poor souls, hunting out in the forest, taunting her sisters or exploring the outside
A fly is always with you, tucked in your pocket, its little head peeking out and its little wings flapping angrily whenever someone dares get too close, and flapping happily whenever you offer a tiny droplet of blood to the insect
You know, normally this would mean your girlfriend is purring. Alas, you don’t hear it when it comes from only a single fly
Cue to Cassandra gritting her teeth in aggravation when she begins purring and blushing in the middle of “playing” with a prisoner
On rare occasions, you find her completely spread out- not, the usual way
You still chuckle when you sit at your desk to tend to your hobby, Cassandra’s head on your lap, and find yourself surrounded by piles of flies
With her body somewhat out together enough to allow her to lean against you and keep her head in your lap, she sleeps soundly
On the window sill, lie two piles of flies, each seemingly basking in the sun. They, like Cassandra as a whole, seem to almost purr and vibrate with happiness
On your desk are the next two piles. One for each side, little insects sleeping and taking up your space. Before your girlfriend fell asleep, you noticed the tiny heads of the insects cocking and tilting from side to side to examine your work
And lastly, the pile on the bed, spread out and nuzzled against the soft fabric of the pillows and blankets, equally purring and twitching at times
You giggle whenever you gently bump your fingertip against a fly and it makes your girlfriend whine in her sleep
Daniela
Before seeing it for yourself, you never really gave her nature a thought
Of course, you know of her flies. Naturally
You just never saw them as individuals. Daniela is a swarm. An entity. A whole
You never assumed her flies could exist independently from one another, controlled separately by your girlfriend, or even not controlled at all
As such, you’re quite surprised when you walk into your room one day and find a pile of flies on your bed, rubbing up against your pillows, others merely sleeping seemingly comfortably
And yet, Daniela is nowhere in sight
Upon scooping the little insects up, they rub up against your palms instead. You giggle at the light, ticklish feeling
When you enter Daniela’s room and find her lying down and reading on the bed, the insects rush forwards to reconnect with what you assume must be a part of her back
She grins, her smile and eyes wide when she sees you
“Join me, my love!”
How could you deny such a sweet request?
Still, as you settle in next to your girlfriend, you notice a few stray flies buzzing about in the room
Some cuddled up in the shirt of yours you left her, as though eager to cover themselves in the scent that must cling to it
Others basking in the sunny spot on the window sill, while two others sit curiously on Daniela’s fingers, their many eyes taking in the book pages as she reads
A few move off her body, leaving little holes where they used to be
Daniela doesn’t seem to notice
Not even her voice wavers or her smile falters as the little insects move away and fly through the room
You feel the insects and the featherlight touch of little legs on your skin, as though they, like your clingy girlfriend, tried to cuddle up to you
You feel them on your shoulders and on top of your head, little legs tangled in your hair, little wings flapping happily
Others settle on your arm, climbing and seemingly playing with one another
You wonder whether Daniela is even aware of it
You hear the light purring coming from your girlfriend, and feel the tiny insects vibrating slightly against your arm and fingers
When she closes the book and stretches, you see her sharp teeth glisten in the light just as she yawns
Her flies seem to return to her, just enough to allow her to rest her head on you and wrap her arms around you
You grin. It’s cuddling time

Seeing @donnabenevientosimpingzone’s redraw of their beauty and the beast AU got me thinking about reader as beauty with the beast Dimitrescu sisters! What about your thoughts?
- AK Anon
Let’s goooooo!!🙌 Yes!!!
Masterlists
Bela
She remembers the day she was cursed vividly, though would not admit so
In fact, she barely comes across as emotional at all
She shows no excitement, love, care or admiration unless she is with her sisters
She works hard, yet is all too aware of the curse wrapped tightly around her
The appearance of a beast to match the cold, ruthless one within, it was said
She refused to fall in love, and this is her punishment
Alas, she still doesn’t look for one
She avoids all mirrors, yet also all chances of love
She is aware of the rose petals slowly falling, and yet, merely watches them sink to the table top
It’s inevitable, she insists
Bela snarls angrily when her sisters and mother attempt to find her a lover, anybody, merely to break the curse
In the end, it seems to be in vain. She doesn’t want to fall in love
At least like this, she is strong enough to provide for her family
Hideous and lonely, but useful and caring for them, she thinks bitterly every so often
She refuses to let the witch that has cursed her win out in the end. She will not fall in love. She refuses to
As the apparent last year of her life comes around, however, things change slightly
With the petals of the preserved rose falling more and more, and only a few little ones still blooming, it becomes clear: this will be Bela’s last winter
She is given an own section of the castle, a retreat. She would not want her family finding her dead and beaten
What she did not expect, however, was you
You, who so innocently saw one of the flowers she took to planting and admiring each day
You, who childishly picked one, and another, and another
You, who foolishly entered her home without invitation
She considers your fate for a couple of moments. She doesn’t feel like having company, despite her promise to her family
Alas, you smell tempting, and she is starving
She decides to keep you. For food, at first
You notice too late that you are now in the beast’s grasp. Doors are locked. Windows are shut. Gates are closed. There is no escape
You have not yet seen your captor
At first, she intends to eat you. To make a fine meal out of you
However, she just…can’t
Not when she glances at the portrait of her family at the wall of the main hall, her eyes finding Daniela’s bright golden ones
She remembers, she has promised her youngest sister she would give love a chance in these last four months of her life
That she would not turn her back on people in these last months
She sighs, but allows you to breathe and live yet another day. And another. And another after
You’re given a chamber to reside in until her demise
After this, you are set free, she promises
She doesn’t treat you unfairly, you notice very early on
You are a prisoner, but are not under the threat of being harmed. In fact, it seems both of you are just waiting out the time it takes for her to perish
She’s open regarding this
She tells you, you will be set free upon her death. She tells you, this death will come in only mere months
You are only to follow strict rules- as is she. Rules set by her sister that even Bela is bound to
Mealtimes spent together, goodnights and good mornings, at least an hour per day of spending quality time together
At first, you can only see the beast. The fur and monstrous claws, the flesh between her teeth at mealtimes. You realise soon, somewhere within this beast lies a person. A woman
A surprisingly intelligent and mature one
She doesn’t lash out at you when you attempt to escape, merely points out there is no escape just yet
And in time, you no longer attempt to escape. You see it is futile, yes, but most of all: not necessarily. You know she will keep her promise
Bela doesn’t get angry when you refuse eating meals together, and equally doesn’t get angry when you do join her and show clumsiness with the cutlery
You notice, she must be a noble. To have been raised as one, rather than merely residing in the large manor
She knows which fork to use for what. She sits straight and upright, her head held high despite her appearance. She screams royalty effortlessly
You wonder, however- has she always been this way? This- inhuman
When you ask her, she is surprisingly open about it, and when she points out the blonde woman on the large portrait in the main hall, you can’t believe your eyes at first
She used to be beautiful…and oddly enough- she still is
Even as she no longer has the human-like appearance she used to have
Still, you recognize the same, piercing, golden eyes
The same blonde of her hair, now fur that stretches across her body
The very same necklace with the embedded red gemstone that still sits snugly around her throat
And lastly, the same rose tattoo decorating her forehead
She tells you of the curse, even the rose indicating how much time it left
You shiver, knowing her time is running out
As you begin spending time with her, you notice yourself falling
Yet- you can’t be sure she feels the same. She seems to have a brick wall set up around her, unable to let you in or allow her any escape
And at first, you don’t mind. You merely wait out the time
Yet…in time she becomes so…curious
A month passes and you know not many are to follow
If she is to die, you want to know who she is. Who this beautiful woman is and was
You intend to break it down her walls
In time, you find out there is more to her than she likes to let on
You find a way to bond. A tiny hole in the cement bricks her walls are made of, allowing you to slip through enough to see her
You find out- Bela loves to read and write. And as much as she attempts to fight it, this allows a connection
Such as the small, almost shy smile when you find out about her favourite books and quote from them throughout the day
You notice it, even as it only lasts a few seconds before she hurriedly wipes it off her lips again
In time, she doesn’t bother hiding it again
She is perceptive, and you find yourself having your favourite food more and more often
Your hourly time together increases, so that nearly all evenings are spent together
You’re reading together in the library. Sometimes out loud to one another, sometimes quietly on your own, yet within each other’s company
Within another few weeks, she begins to warm up to you
She cuddles up to you when you read to her
In return, you hold her as tight as you can
With the last month drawing near its end, you both become more and more tense
You want to save her
And Bela? She didn’t believe she would ever yearn to be saved
She’s scared to make a move first. She knows, to break the curse, love must come from you
She’s worried initiating things will make your feelings less genuine
Alas, it is one day she rests in your arms, her eyes closed, a relaxed smile played on her lips
She listens as you read from her favourite book, your voice smooth and trained from having done this so often already
When you look down, you can’t help but allow your gaze to linger on her face a little longer than normal
You take her in, her beautiful features and the soft fur decorating her body due to the curse
You trace the one on her cheek, a soft blush on your face when her golden eyes snap open and find yours
Her lips are parted, as though inviting you in
Gently, you raise her head up, and even more so, you brush your lips against hers
You gasp when she suddenly pulls away, an apology ready to tumble from your lips
Yet, it isn’t the kiss that made her pull away, but rather the warm light seemingly coming from her
She’s gasping loudly, her eyes pressing shut and hands raising as though to protect herself
You watch as paws with claws turn to gentle, petite hands and soft palms, thin fingers with black painted, sharp nails
Fur is turned to soft, pale skin
A petite nose, even fuller, pinker lips
No longer does blonde hair cover her, but merely the hair on top of her head. You take in its sight, the way it perfectly descends on her shoulders and down her back
Her eyes, golden as they were in her beast form, shine bright for you
They glisten with tears, as do yours
This time, she doesn’t hold back
She runs to you, her human arms wrapping around you, her lips, warm and soft, pressing against yours
You smile into the kiss, at last content with the knowledge that you will not lose her to time
Cassandra
She doesn’t believe in witchcraft, in curses, in true love
When she is given a chance to apologise and make things right, lest she will face “consequences”, she laughs in the hag’s face
In a split second, she is transformed, and she is forced to believe in all she thought was false
Only days later can she comprehend what happened, long after
When fur covers her body, her precise fingers replaced by large paws, her lethal nails now truly claws
When she wakes up a week after, she finds a single red rose on her nightstand, a note underneath explaining the flower’s petals signal her remaining life span
She doesn’t believe it, naturally, despite her beastly form
In fact, she laughs, her hand clasping around the flower and squeezing
Cassandra screams at the sudden pain in her chest. She immediately knows, this is real
By the time Alcina, Bela and Daniela rush into her room, the lies on the floor, clutching her chest and the flower
Eighteen or so petals lie dead on the floor, already curled in on itself after her assault
Only fifteen remain. One for a day? For a month? For a year? For a century?
No one dares guess
Yet, as flowers fall every few weeks, worry rises
It’s made clear, Cassandra must find her true love
The thought itself would have made her laugh before all of this
And somehow, it still does
She would rather die than fall in love again, she’s certain. Death can not betray her the same way love has in the past
Alas, she doesn’t even consider it
No amount of scolding and raging from Alcina, no amount of reasoning from Bela, and no amount of sheer begging from Daniela has her see reason
She refuses to even give it a try
Suitors chosen by her family are turned down and devoured with a smile on her face
Maidens and other staff members brave enough to make a move are used as playthings in the basement
She acts like she doesn’t mind her new form
And she doesn’t, not fully at least. She is even stronger, faster, and looks more intimidating than ever
Naturally, the huntress enjoys this
However, she is not oblivious to the comments made about her, nor the ones she existing and forming anew every morning when she catches her reflection in the mirror
She truly looks like the monster all make her out to be, now. All see the monster she apparently is, now
All, but you
You see the woman within
You remember her vibrant, loud laughter through the halls
You remember the sadistic joy in her eyes whenever you finished polishing her sickle. Sharp, and clean, ready to taste blood again
You wonder- are you a monster too- for smiling at the memory of her proud, self satisfied smirk upon presenting her bloodied sickle to you again
Yet- she is changed now. You don’t know what happened, only that something happened
She is covered in fur, her appearance beast-like
Even sharper teeth than normal. Even louder snarls and growls
More muscles, even sharper nails. No, claws, now
And, of course, the horns stemming from her head. Ready to impale, at all times intimidating those around her
Yet, the same stunning, golden eyes…
The same smile as she snarls, the same hunger and anger, the same stubbornness and sadistic humour
You can’t help but ask yourself; what happened to the beautiful huntress?
Has she encountered prey that is not so easily slain, at last?
Has she, as you knew she eventually would, made an enemy too powerful?
As the one tasked with nearly all concerning her weapons, the two of you used to be quite close
Now, not even you know what happened to the beauty
You’re determined to find out. You- care for her- you fancy her- you come to realise
And you’re not fighting such thoughts
Alas, you do find yourself surprised when you make moves and are not immediately torn to pieces by another family member
Everyone at the castle knows just how protective they are of one another
Getting close to one without gaining another’s attention and feeling their watchful eye on one’s back is impossible
Yet- no knife comes to your neck when you serve Cassandra her dinner plate and leave it with the smallest of flowers, made of smooth, beautiful metal, something you specifically asked the duke to get
And Cassandra? She has the cutest expressions you’ve ever seen her have. In the next moment it’s gone, as she snarls and digs into her food like an animal would
It seems, she doesn’t quite get the hint
You don’t mind. Years of being with her allow you to know bits and pieces of what she’s like
You have learned she appreciates bold honesty, and that’s exactly what you’re going with
So when she swarms to you, her entire front covered in blood, and reaches her hand paw out to grasp the next weapon, polished and sharp, your voice stops her in her tracks
You confess, you’re thinking inappropriately of her
Not the way one should be thinking of one of the ladies of the house
She seems to brush it off with laughter, and you frown
Did she not understand?
You mentally face palm at your mistake. No, unlike others, you not only crave her for sex. You decide to specify
“I have been thinking of kissing you and holding your hand” you admit instead
You watch her golden eyes widen, then gasp in surprise when her clawed paw comes down on the wooden table between you
She snarls, and in an instant, she is off
What?
Seemingly unreciprocated as it is, you would have thought she’d kill you on the spot
And perhaps she would’ve, if she didn’t like you, and if it wasn’t for the promise made to her family. Yes, she was avoiding love. But she wasn’t allowed to kill it
At first, you find yourself discouraged to court her. She didn’t seem interested in your approach
This is, however, until you receive an order from lady Daniela to retrieve candy from the village, where she suggests picking up a dagger for Cassandra, too
Yet, the cherry on top is an order from lady Bela herself, an order to clean the training hall. Right as Cassandra seemed to be using it
You watch her for a mere moment, punching and slicing, moving fast around the dummy
Then, you clear your throat to let her know of your presence. You doubt she would’ve been oblivious to it for long
As subtly instructed by her sisters, you hand the beastly beauty the dagger found and retrieved in the village
Her eyes practically shine at the sight. Sharp, curved. Little, yellow gemstones embedded in the side of the handle
She picks it up and you shriek when she swipes it across your cheek. A light touch is enough for blood to spill and your heart to race
Still, you stand perfectly clear when a long, strong tongue darts out and licks the blood from your cheek
Cassandra’s body pressed against your smaller one, her fur tickling your skin
You feel almost lightheaded, this close to her. If you tried, you could wrap your arm around her
Then, the moment passes, when she moves back and- to your surprise- bows her head slightly, just a mere moment, before she swarms off
A thank you
In the following weeks, you keep spending time with her. She barely seeks you out, and you see the stubborn walls built tightly around her
Yet- she feels them break, slowly, no matter how fast she attempts to put them back up
She craves your attention and is ruthlessly jealous towards all showing you theirs, or daring to take yours from her
You begin spending time together nearly every day
She is with you when you work her weapons, occasionally snarling when she wants you to sharpen one even more, or purring contentedly when she thinks of a job well done
You bring her daggers, and in return, she brings you trophies from her hunts
Often, this has allowed you to have a wonderful dinner
It’s rare the staff gets any meat, so you quickly begin to feel proud when you’re able to fix yourself something up using the venison and such she brings you
At nighttime, you’re aware of her form occasionally slipping in your room, as if to check up on you
You never expose or stop her; even leave out a bite or two from your food
You make sure you leave her raw flesh, knowing she enjoys it better
You are still blissfully unaware of the flower, until one day you make your way to the armoury and- to your surprise- find her on the ground
As you rush over, she is panting heavily, her eyes barely open, her paw-like hands trembling, her lips parted and letting out small, sharp whines and whimpers
She lies there like a wounded animal when you sink to the ground and pull her head onto your lap. Immediately, she turns to you, weak, yet alert
In her hand, she is clutching a single flower
A red rose, with merely a single petal hanging on to it
You don’t understand
She’s shaking, as though crying in your arms. You don’t understand she is scared, this close to death
Still, you attempt to comfort her
“I’m here, Milady”, you promise, and with intentions innocent, yet loving, you press a single kiss to her forehead
You gasp when the dark room is finally lit up by the sun-like light surrounding her
She’s gasping, her eyes wide when she breathes even when the last flower petal falls and sinks to the stony floor
Your eyes press shut in an instant when the light subsides, a fierce blush on your cheeks and the image before you burned into your mind. You’re not complaining in the slightest
Fur and beastly features have been replaced. Her large, paw-like hands have returned to scarred palms and strong fingers, smooth skin and decently muscular arms
Her hair, on top of her head, is wild and caressed her skin as she lies on you, shivering in her naked form on the stony ground, her arms pulled to her chest to cover herself, her legs tucked in for the same purpose
You remember the sight of smooth, pale skin, scarred here and there, bruised at parts, but beautiful nonetheless. Smooth legs, slim hips, a bellybutton and her abdomen, her fleshy thighs all seen in the second it took until your eyes slipped shut
You hum when, suddenly, you feel her lips against yours again, yet can’t at all help but smile into the kiss
It seems, the curse has been broken
Daniela
She’s always been into fairytales. Princes and princesses, dragons, thieves, empresses, pirates, gnomes, witches, beasts
Just- she never assumed she would live one
When approached by an old, hooded man, she doesn’t bother hiding her disgust
How’d that get into the castle? Mother always keeps them away
She shudders when the figure stretches out his hand, his fingers bony, his weak smile hidden in the shadow of his grey, dirty hood
Held between his fingers, a single rose, clasped, so no thorns are left on it
Daniela grimaces
She has been taught not to take things a man-thing offers
Such an odd, mysterious looking one, too
She declines, her grimace turning into loud laughter when the man stretches out his arm, as though asking her to reconsider
Then, mood strikes her again. She didn’t even notice her sickle appearing next to her, nor how she gripped it until she brought it down on the man already
Only, it didn’t slice. No blood, merely fog, and light, by far too much of it
Before she could even tell what happened, her vision became blurry already
Upon waking up, the curse was bestowed on her
Her flesh transformed, her frame larger and beastly, furry with sharp horns sticking from her and her petite fingers transformed into monstrous, large, paw-like hands with sharp claws
Her teeth, small fangs replaced with larger ones, her tongue large and foreign in her mouth
A tail, growing from her, wrapped around her protectively
She whimpers, then screams for her sisters and mother
As they arrive, all words die on their tongues
Their eyes are wide and horrified, their brains jumping to attempt to understand the situation, the appearance of the youngest Dimitrescu
In her hand, a single rose and a letter
Even in time, she can’t get accustomed to her appearance
All mirrors are removed in her rooms, she doesn’t even dare meet her reflection in the bathtub
And still, she is overly aware of it all. How difficult it is to speak, how very different her body is
How she is looked at…what they say behind her back, thinking she can’t hear
She is moved out of the castle, and to Donna’s lands. The flower is handed to her, to study, and as payment, while Daniela resides in a manor in the woods
By herself, where no one but her can remind her of all this
At least, that is the plan. Was. A plan that changed when she first spots you pick a flower of her garden, then- to her horror- push open the heavy doors leading inside
“Hello?”
The phrase seems to almost echo in the hall, and makes her flinch. Before, she would have been thrilled about company. Now…
She yearns for company, still, there is no doubt about that. Yet..a glance down at her paw-like hands and furry arms has her think better than to show herself
“G’o”, she demands, her voice quivering, unused
You merely whip around, as though trying to find where the beautiful voice is coming from
When you take a step in her direction, she immediately backs up. She can’t let you spot her this way! How did you even get past Donna in the first place!
“Go!”, she pleads again, her voice a little stronger this time
You stop dead in your tracks, a small frown on your face. Go? Why?
As you ask her just that, her breathing grows heavier
“There’s a beast”, she answers
You frown again. A lycan, perhaps? Is it keeping the woman with the beautiful voice a prisoner? Why? You’ve never known a lycan to do such a thing
“Can I stay?”
She nearly whimpers, torn
She yearns for company, for you. For a piece of herself again. And yet…you will be just like everyone else upon discovering her truth
“Make sure the monster doesn’t find you. Stay away and hidden”, she says instead, doing her very best to keep an animalistic growl and purr back
And you take her advice to heart. You stay out of sight, your head ducked even when you can’t spot the trace of a monster
At nighttime, you hear the lovely voice of the woman through a closed, wooden door
You knock, and smile as you hear a gasp from the inside. Then, however, your breath hitches at the other sound coming from the room
A growl, animalistic, loud
Is the beast with the beauty? Right this moment? Keeping her in there? Terrifying her?
You’re not sure where your sudden rush of adrenaline comes from, yet you suddenly find yourself gripping the handle and pushing the wooden door open
You’re faced with what you believe must be the beast she spoke of
Large, with furry ears and blackened horns, sharp, threatening fangs and claws
Yet, the sweetest, most human shriek falls from the creature’s lips at your sudden intrusion
You see the truth in an instant. This is the woman talking to you upon your arrival
Immediately, you feel as though intruding. Yet, you can’t move from the spot, her gaze strong, but gentle
In a split second of vulnerability, she allows you to see it all
Her pain, her humanity, her hunger for blood, the beast in her, the love and passion, the yearning, the care, the playfulness, the loneliness
When you step closer to her, she doesn’t know what to expect
She closes her eyes and wonders; will you strike her down? Like the beast she is, or rather, looks?
No such thing happens
Instead, she shivers when she feels your hands thread through the fur covering her cheeks, all the way up to her furry, soft ears
She can’t help but purr at the feeling, her face feeling warm
You work carefully with her, as though exploring the strange woman’s body and nature
When hesitant, golden eyes meet yours, they widen immediately at the care they find in yours
You must love her! Right? You’re the one to break the curse! True love! It must be!
As she suddenly leans forwards and you feel oddly soft lips press against yours, you shriek in surprise
Her expression turns to a hurt, almost disappointed one when you pull back
No magic? But- you must be the one! You must free her of this!
It seems, her expression tells you her thoughts
Still- you don’t leave. And she doesn’t make you
In the weeks to come, you find out just how clingy the company-deprived woman is
She spends all her time with you, should you grant her this
Meals are eaten together. At first, she attempts human food
Soon after, you encourage her to eat properly, and smile at the mess she creates devouring her meal right from the plate, no utensils needed, nor able to be used by her large, claw-like fingers
She spends her days with you, showing you the manor and its many rooms
The library, the opera hall, the bedrooms, the kitchen, the large garden
Upon entering a greenhouse, you notice the many sketches of a rose pinned to a part of the wall
She explains the curse, all too eager to be open with you about this. It feels far too good to allow all of it out
As she talks, she feels the weight slip off her shoulders
You understand her, somehow
In such short time, the cursed beauty has dug her way to your heart, and now seems to be fully taking it up
Before you know it, you sleep comfortably in her arms, and keep her head nestled on your stomach at night
She’s close to you, the low rumble of her purrs lulling you to sleep
She radiates warmth, while you eagerly suck it up
As months pass, you grow closer and closer together
You take her out on dates, even as neither of you calls them that
You spend day and night together, your fingers entangled in her fur, her clawed hand gently caressing you as much as she can
The more time passes, the larger the urge to kiss her. It nearly overcomes you sometimes
You wonder- how do her lips taste? You sometimes still feel the ghostly touch of them on you from when she has kissed you months ago
You hunt together sometimes, and you help her prepare the food and try it in new, different ways
You encourage her about her appearance, and smile whenever you hear her laughter when she is dressed loosely in beautiful gowns
You watch the stars together and enjoy candlelit dinners
You paint, she watches. She dances, clumsily, in such her current form, while you sing along
As she whirls and jumps, laughs and giggles, you can’t help but snake your way past the chairs and piano, right to her
She gasps when you clasp her large hand, mindful of the sharp claws adorning her fingers
When you whirl her around, she laughs, vibrant and happy
You allow her to move a little more, your smile matching her wide one
When she whirls back around to you, you grasp her furry cheeks gently. You feel the soft hair under your fingertips
When you lean in and your lips touch, you nearly gasp at the electricity between the two of you
She gasps as she pulls away, her arms stretched out, her golden eyes wide as she watches with wonder
Her fingers transform first, huge claws replaced by sharp fingernails painted a deep red, connected to soft flesh and pale, petite fingers that stem from a soft palm
Her arms are next, no longer furry, but pale and nearly grey, shivers overtaking her skin
Next is her chest, and you hurriedly supply her with your vest to wrap around her
Yet, it’s her face that has your breath hitch
Soft, round features
A gentle chin, and full, soft cheeks
Kissable lips, painted pink
A button nose
And lastly, her stunning, golden eyes
You smile widely at her
Big appreciation to @darkittensniper for supplying me with music and good soup while writing this🙌 ur the best, Mother
