What are some interesting interpretations in 'Beauty and the Beast: A Change in Me Fanfic'?

Obviously, Beauty and the Beast are the main characters. They are central to the story, with their relationship being the core focus. Their interactions drive the plot forward, especially as the Beast is going through a change.

One non - erotic interpretation is that it's a story about seeing beyond appearances. Beauty is able to look past the Beast's hideous exterior and find the kind heart within. It's a lesson in acceptance and love that goes beyond the physical.

A great idea for a 'Beauty and the Beast II' fanfic is to focus on the side characters. For example, Lumière and Cogsworth. You could write a story from their perspective, perhaps about their efforts to keep the castle running smoothly during Belle and the Beast's courtship. Or you could create a new character, like a lost traveler who stumbles upon the castle and has a unique reaction to the Beast and his servants. This new character could bring in new plot twists, like having a special power or knowledge that could either help or hinder the Beast and Belle's relationship.

A great fanfic idea is that in a post - happily - ever - after world for Cinderella, she hears about the Beast's plight. She decides to use her new - found status as a princess to help him. Maybe she brings some of her own magic items, like her glass slippers, to try and break the curse. Another could be that the Beast, while still in his cursed form, stumbles upon Cinderella's village. He is initially feared, but Cinderella sees past his exterior and offers him shelter. This starts a friendship that could develop into something more as the story progresses. And a different approach could be a fanfic where the story is told from the perspective of the servants in the Beast's castle as they watch Cinderella and the Beast fall in love.

One idea could be exploring the Beast's past more in - depth. Maybe show his life before the curse and how it affected his personality. Another could be a modern - day retelling where Belle is a scientist trying to find a cure for the Beast's curse.

The castle could become more inviting. Maybe the dark and gloomy corridors start to be filled with light as the relationship between Belle and the Beast improves. Flowers could start to bloom where there were once only thorns.

It could entail a change in the Beast's character. Maybe he becomes more understanding and less gruff as he spends more time with Belle. For example, he might start to show more kindness towards the servants in the castle.

One interesting aspect could be the role reversal in the relationship dynamics. For example, a female Beast might have a different way of showing her tough exterior while still having a soft heart. The male Beauty could also bring a new perspective to the story, perhaps being more nurturing or having different insecurities compared to the traditional female Beauty.

Well, a great crossover idea in these fanfics is the concept of the characters' songs. For example, Elsa's 'Let It Go' and Belle's 'Beauty and the Beast' song. Imagine if the two stories collided and there was a moment where both characters sang their iconic songs in a combined musical number. It would be a very emotional and powerful moment. Also, the idea of the dwarfs from Snow White (since Frozen and Beauty and the Beast are both Disney) helping out in the Beast's castle could be really fun. They could add some comical relief to the more serious situations in the story.

Perhaps a plot twist is that the Beauty is actually a parahuman with a power that she doesn't fully understand until she meets the Beast. Their connection then unlocks a new aspect of her power, changing the dynamic between them and their goals. For example, her power could be related to empathy, and the Beast's presence intensifies it to the point where she can influence the emotions of other parahumans around her.
