I know, it’s not something that usually happens in a standard fairytale retelling, but at the same time I dislike it when a character that has been presentd as being dangerous and has in fact attacked and tried to kill someone, yet ‘conveniently’ never actually gets to do that onscreen or during the course of the story.
I was honestly not completely sure about putting this much violence front and center, but decided to go with it in the end. I didn’t do it to be gratuitous, and it does explore a facet of Beast that Sebastian has been lucky enough to avoid. And yes Beast’s character will receive some more exploration/explanation that goes into his situation a lot more. (There’s a reason he’s stuck in a cursed castle and has a chip the size of a kingdom on his shoulder.)
What the Hell?

well, this is sure is going to complicate things.
Yup. Plus Sebatian and Beast were actually getting along well. ~Something~ had to happen to poke the plot. *g*
