This is the other AU I made back in August besides my Polytrix Selkie AU
Polytrix Beauty[ies] and the Beast AU with 3 twists
Zoey was cursed because both her parents were assholes to the Enchantress, who turned up to their house hidden in the forest during a horrible, stormy night. The Enchantress could see their relationship was doomed with all the building resentment and anger the two have
“If you two could learn to love one another, and learn to love your child like this by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, your daughter would be doomed to remain a beast for all time”
They werent turn to objects. Only Zoey is the one turned into a beast in this dumb AU of mine
After a few years of continued arguments and not being able to handle the responsibility that comes with having to raise Zoey as she was, they both soon just fucked off and left
Zoey is affected by this more than the curse. She had hoped that regardless whether her parents learned to love each other in time or not to break the curse, that they would still stay and love her anyway, even if they did not love each other
But they didnt stay and that hurt more than this curse ever couldve. Lonely Zoey :((
Anyway, skip to both Celine and Rumi making their way through the forest another few years later
Celine was fearful of this big, sad creature. Zoey wanted to convince them to stay for a week at most to finally have company. She has been trying to do this for a while now but people just keep running away screaming
Rumi, who listened and understood that Zoey just wanted company not in a permanent way, took advantage of Celine misunderstanding of the situation because she wanted to take a break from Celine’s pressure and overprotectiveness so she offered to stay and for Celine to “be set free”
Celine, thinking that Rumi will be kept in that house forever, rushed to the town but wasnt given help because people know Rumi is Smart and that Celine is most likely misunderstanding the situation
“Take a chill pill, Celine” -The Entire Town
Then there is Mira. Always butted heads with Rumi and got into little arguments. Mira is actually flirting but she herself doesnt know she is. Got too used to the dynamic to realize that Oh. I like her. Rumi is the the same
Essentially, this is a crack AU where Rumi and Mira are idiots in love with each other but dont know it. Zoey is making them Feel Things too
Zoey is very aware she Has Feelings for them
She also quietly figured out that the only way to break the curse is through the poly route because it hinged on two other people learning to genuinely love the other and love Zoey as she is as the Beast
So Zoey to herself was like “Yeah, parents were a no go. With them? Poly will break this curse.” THIS is the first twist
The second? Zoey actually loves being a Beast, her [redacted] is fun too so she kind of doesnt want to be changed back. Cue Zoey trying not to be such a big puppy and loveable dork because it has Rumira down bad for her, just until the last petal falls, but also trying to get Rumira together because those oblivious idiots need the help
It ends up with Rumira finally realizing their feelings with said help. Like THAT happened a second before the last petal fell
And much to Zoey’s disappointment, as she began to float and shine, she found out that Rumira actually realized their feelings for Zoey way before they had for each other
The third twist, fourth if you were to ask me, is the Enchantress coming back to the house to check up on the Assholes with the Sweet Child after she felt the curse breaking, only to see two woman who arent the Assholes gawking at a pouting Zoey
Zoey’s short now WHAT THE FUCK
But she is so cute and also hot even in her human form so they are not actually complaining. Just whiplashed from having to crane their necks to look up at Zoey before to now having to look down
AU ends with Enchantress deciding to grant Zoey a wish, because wow pretty messed up you cursed a child just to punish her parents, like who really was the asshole there
And Zoey just wished for the ability to shift between both forms. Polytrix achieved and Zoey gives Rumira backshots [that was the redacted if you were curious]
