Chapter Notes

Hank McCoy is a lonely Beast "trapped" in a castle ("Stop being dramatic, it's a mansion"). He believes no one can love him in this form... until he meets Scott's younger brother Alex who became blind after "the accident". This is a story of how beauty taught the beast to overcome his shyness and self-consciousness, and transforming them both with love that is as old as the tale itself. Based off the X-Men: The Animated Series episode "Beauty and the Beast".
