Title: Book Of Hours
Author: Person
Fandom: Beauty And The Beast
Pairing: Beauty/Beast
Summary: Somedays it seemed that her old life was the enchantment, and all that was or ever had been real were the castle, the lands, and The Beast.

So she listened to the noise in her heart, beat after beat after beat. When she returned to the shore The Beast would help her from the boat and she'd try to hear his as well, but the space between her ears and his heart was too great, and, though she no longer flinched away from his touch, she was unable to close it.

I do like a good re-telling of a fairy tale, although in this case I'm still looking for a story where the Beast stays a beast. It always breaks my heart when he changes back into a man. But this was lovely and shows a mostly bewildered Beauty trying to take control of her life in the castle.
