thanks! i’ve already done 20, but i’ll have a go at the rest (and to reiterate, i’ve only seen the remake once so if they’re a little ooc that’s why) (also these are going to be a lot shorter than the last post was but that’s ok, right?)

1. things you said at 1 am

Adam looked over at Belle, who was still gamely reading even though it was long past midnight. 

“Darling?”

“I’m almost finished with this chapter,” she said. 

“You said that an hour ago.”

“I’m on a different chapter now.”

“Belle! It’s past an hour after midnight!”

She shut the book, pouting in that way she only did when she was teasing him. “And here I thought you loved my eccentric reading habits.”

“You know what they’ll think, the two of us up so late, unchaperoned.”

Belle actually laughed out loud. “The wedding is in two days, sweetheart. Do they think that if we’re left alone for as much as five minutes, I’ll magically produce a child seven months after the wedding instead of nine - despite neither of us so much as touching the other, might I add?”

“They’re just worried,” Adam said. “They know I was … well, you know.” Belle did, in fact, know - the morning after the curse, both of them had had a long, frank discussion about each other’s pasts. 

She hummed thoughtfully. “Come over here,” she said, patting the space beside her. Once he shuffled over, she manhandled him so that his head rested on her lap as she read.

“I could sleep like this,” he said. 

“Good. If they’re going to talk, let’s give them something to talk about.”

9. things you said when i was crying

The Beast had transformed. They had kissed - one magical, earth-shattering kiss. And then, much to Belle’s embarrassment, she had burst into tears.

“Belle!” the young man said, rubbing her shoulders soothingly. “It’s alright, I’m here. I’m alright.”

“Are - are you sure?” Belle sobbed. “Because I’m pretty - pretty sure you got shot in the back three times - three times, my - my dear, dear -” 

She had dissolved into tears again, and the Beast - the prince, she supposed - pulled her close against his chest. She heard the strong beat of his heart, and it was inconceivable that less than a minute ago she had heard it stop, seemingly forever. 

But here he stood, kissing the top of her head and stroking her hair.

Eventually, she calmed down enough to stop sobbing, although a few stray tears still fell. “I’m sorry - I’m normally never like this.”

“I know,” he said, and it was less an assurance of her emotional state than a proclamation that he did know her.

14. things you said after you kissed me

Belle and Adam broke away from each other, and the congregation exploded with cheers. Maurice, a few steps away, had whipped out a handkerchief. Lefou and Stanley, along with the other villagers, were on their feet cheering. The castle servants were just as joyful, and on cue the maids opened the balcony doors to the wide sunlight, as Belle and Adam smiled and nodded their thanks to Pere Robert for marrying them.

The gold ring, adorned with a luminescent opal, was nowhere near as ornate as Belle had feared it would be. The matching thick band on Adam’s hand seemed to suit him immensely - and Belle was hit with the realisation that she would get to see that ring on his finger every day for the rest of their lives. They walked sedately to the balcony, having been prepared by Cogsworth the night before. 

“The Crown Prince, Louis-Alexandre Vincent Adam Christophe, and his bride, the Crown Princess, Marie-Isabelle Beaumont!” 

“It’s going to be loud out there, darling,” he said - their first words as husband and wife. “Are you ready?”

“For you, dear husband? Always.”

He smiled that blinding smile she had seen more and more as she got to know him, and they stepped out on the balcony together, to greet the people of France.

the Tally Hoe’s Introduce-Your-Self(ie) Challenge!! If you’ve been tagged, you have to (well, not have to, but if you’d like to you can) post two selfies and a random fact about yourself and your favorite song from Beauty and the Beast. I’ve been tagged by @danstevensgrowl

if you’ve been tagged and you’re not part of the Tally Hoes group and have no idea what’s going on, the Tally Hoes is the name for all the participants in a Beauty and the Beast chat room created by @stanfous. We talk about Beauty and the Beast, fangirl, sing, cry, and everything else you can imagine. iIf you’d like to join, feel free to contact @stanfous!! Everyone is welcome.

Hi I’m Gabby/Remus and my favorite BatB song is either Gaston or The Mob Song, but I’m betting my horses on Gaston.

Random fact about me: I had to look for selfies everywhere and then give up and post the ones I sent to the group because in all of my most recent pictures I’m wasted and that’s not pretty for anyone. Ok but seriously, a random fact about me is that I once went to an aquarium that had those tubes so you can walk in the middle of the fishes and I was so determined to take a picture of the stupid face ray fishes have in their bellies that in the end the whole staff knew me and would point to me whenever one was swimming by and it turned into a game for everyone there. I tend to get… loud when I’m excited. I got two good shots though, you can see it here and here.

thanks!

(1991 is based off of my ‘The Beauty of a Beast’ series :D)

who proposed

Adam - sort of. He proposed, Belle said she needed time to adjust, and a month or two later she brought it back up herself

how they proposed

both proposals were pretty low-key; Adam asked Belle quietly over breakfast, and Belle asked in the middle of the night while they were reading in the library

who stressed more over wedding planning

cogsworth

who had the wildest bachelor(ette) party

honestly I don’t think either of these two had a wild bachelor/ette party. adam doesn’t really know anybody, and neither does belle. (they’re pretty happy just hanging out with the castle staff)

who freaked out before the wedding

adam, for sure. ten years of everything hinging on true love, and you expect him to not be convinced it’ll all go downhill at once?

best man/maid of honor

unlikely given the time period, but lumiere/babette. (i don’t care that they’re servants, it’s happening) although honestly i don’t really see belle as having a maid of honour. 

where they got married

the castle ballroom, late spring

if/what they wrote in their vows

the realist in me wants to go for traditional vows (minus the ‘obey’ commandment bc hell no), but you can bet there’s a whole bunch of sappy poetry that belle needed to daft several times before she could read it aloud.

who cried at the wedding

literally everybody

which song they had their first dance to

‘Beauty and the Beast’

where they went on their honeymoon

they started in Germany and Italy, and even managed to wrangle some time in Spain - a girl’s got to start her adventures somewhere, after all

what they did on their honeymoon

sightsee, mostly, although they did also have diplomatic meetings with the heads of state that Belle found surprisingly fascinating

2017

who proposed

adam, probably in the cut between the transformation and them joining the others

how they proposed

he was a right sap - he had his mother’s ring tucked away in a dresser and everything. they both cried.

who stressed more over wedding planning

belle, which surprised a lot of people. she had never really thought about marriage except in an abstract sense - now that it was happening, she was terrified of everything that could go wrong

who had the wildest bachelor(ette) party

belle had the best time with plumette and the other serving girls

who freaked out before the wedding

both of them, pacing in their respective rooms, trying really hard not to

best man/maid of honor

lumiere/plumette (same reasons as above)

where they got married

the castle ballroom as it appears at the end of the film

if/what they wrote in their vows

they probably went for traditional vows, again minus ‘obey’ because this is fanfiction and i can feel happy here. 

who cried at the wedding

adam. belle wipes away a tear, but she’s more of the ‘strong stoic’ type than our dear trash prince

which song they had their first dance to

‘finale’

where they went on their honeymoon

they started in paris, and then travelled around europe for the next few months

what they did on their honeymoon
