you send one thematically-relevant song about loneliness and love and suddenly you get yet another vague au idea based on your characters

#roses and lavender #it just sort of sprung into my mind but -- ella's on the way to the ball #the horses get lost #they wind up at this castle which very clearly does NOT have a ball on but like. what else is she supposed to do. it's cold and dark and #she can see candlelight through the windows #the entire castle is FLABBERGASTED to see what appears to be an honest-to-god storybook princess walk through the door #of course the beast gets down there asap but as soon as he sees her he decides to keep lukring in the shadows #she's beautiful and bright and shining and he is -- not. #for her part ella is a nervous wreck #this was not what she signed up for when she stepped into that pumpkin carriage #she stays for dinner because let's be honest she's starving at this point #they talk a little over dinner. as one does. #there's a hunger in both of them for human contact and despite the awkwardness of the situation they end up talking for a long long time #they lose track of time #and suddenly ella's doing her reverse magical girl transformation #and then they're stood in this drawing room just very awkwardly looking at each other #the beast who's been lurking in the shadows all night afraid to sully this beautiful creature by even standing too close to her #and the servant girl playing make-believe who's suddenly found herself in the worst version of the emperor's new clothes #in the distance they hear cogsworth shouting 'why the FUCK did the FOOTMAN just turn into a HORSE?!?!?' #eta the song in question was the loneliest time by carly rae jepsen ft. rufus wrainwright
