|  8𝘅 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗗 · A YA Beauty and the Beast gender-swapped retelling. Bit of a Stranger Things vibe going on, too! 

Life was going mega well for Beatrice-Bea Laurent, a soon-to-be 18-year-old certified Insta star slash posh gal. 

She was spending every waking breath throwing parties, and dodging responsibilities. 

Until one fateful day when an Instagram scandal has her parents banish her from New York to New Town. 

Next thing she knows, she is cursed by a creepy old lady and is... changed. She starts growing fur, claws AND fangs!

                                                                                      ***

Beatrice Laurent is your average posh teen girl, who goes to classes when she feels like it.
Which is basically... never. She spends her days lounging on her couch, staring at her phone screen, sharing fab life insta stories with her "friends," and sliding into their dms.
Dodging real life responsibilities left and right, she does nothing, yet has everything.
And, she has no problem with that. 
In fact, she enjoys it.
Chartering planes-check. Private yachts-check. Designer duds-check. 
No expectations, no responsibilities, no worries. 

But that all ends when Beatrice gets grounded and banished from New York to New Town. 
Cherry on top: she is cursed by a creepy old lady at a party she threw!

Suddenly she is friggin' growing fur, claws and other feline attributes, and having the incredible urge to roar and pursue tiny rodents.

What's a girl to supposed to do when she involuntarily transforms into a beast and can't attend classes no more?

Can Bea count on Ross Thorne, a bookish classmate who is struggling to stop living in his older brother Gus' shadow... 
To keep her secret? 

And perhaps aid her in the un-cursing when their budding affection becomes more than apparent?

Rell and The Rose by hjnelson

A Beast stalks the night... but Beauty hunts him. A reimagining of the story you thought you knew. Rell grew up hearing stories of the Human Realm, a fantastic world with light at the flick of a finger, metal boxes that fly through the sky; a fantastic, faraway fairytale that she knows is too good to be true. Because Rell lives in the Dark Realm: a world full of magical creatures and a low-hanging sky, all protected by The Blood Rose. Until the day the Blood Rose is stolen away and taken to the Human Realm. Without it, the two realms will meet with disastrous consequences, the human sun bleaching all the magic from the Dark Realm. And so Rell leaves everything she knows to bring it back. There's only one problem: the Human Realm- especially high school- is nothing like the stories. There's some sort of code with words like "twerking" and "Instagram" she can't understand, and then there's Bastien, the boy who hates Rell for reasons she can't explain. But when Rell realizes Bastien is keeping just as many secrets as she is, the two become an unlikely team in the search for the Blood Rose. Time is ticking, and more than just The Dark Realm is at stake. Whoever stole the rose is now cursed to turn into a Beast every full moon, and is hidden among them. Students are going missing, and dark creatures are slipping into the Human Realm. Rell needs to find the Blood Rose, slay the Beast, survive high school, and sort out these new, confusing feelings for Bastien--all before the night of the full moon. To fail could mean the end of The Dark Realm and every magical creature within, but to succeed means she'll lose the boy she's falling for, and a Realm more beautiful than she ever imagined. A modern-day reimaging of Beauty and the Beast.

Before You Leave by fbishi

(Before You Leave #1) She was sent to boarding school over the smallest of mistakes... Okay, burning down your schools gym might have been a big one. But she didn't mean to do it. This time. And she's certainly no snitch. She's had a fine life. But she wanted something more. And so she created chaos. She was misjudged and misunderstood. And now she's the havoc of Birchwood Prep. They call her the devil's bitch, the principal's worst nightmare, and a screwed up whore. They can think what they want, JJ Ashton has heard these all throughout high school. She doesn't want a future, she just wants to take control of now. She's everything Birchwood Prep doesn't want, but is deemed to get after her Father decided it was the only option for her to find some discipline. She's not going to make it that easy for them. Gideon Andrews is the perfect student. Good grades, never missed a day, and never had been in trouble of any sort. He thinks life is great, but meeting JJ, she thinks life for him could be better. Less plain and vanilla. He hates her guts. It's mutual for her as well. But the headmaster has made it Gideon's personal mission to get her back on track and into a better life. She's allowed two screw ups, has to join a sports team, pass all of her classes with at least a C and get some friends before the year is over, or she will be held back. And she's not about to go another year in the hellhole called high school. (Marked mature for language and brief talk about sex.) *Still editing parts/making corrections* (Sequel is called: When I Stay)

~ OBLIVIATE ~ by illtri_shxri123

❝What the fuck!?❞ I almost squeal once I catch the sight of a tattoo that I don't remember being placed on my body, the ink carving out the words 'I ♡ Boobies' directly sat beneath my own breasts. I'm left bewildered and confused wondering if I really drank that much last night for not remembering getting a tattoo. Well shit. I mean... it's not wrong. - ⊹˚˖⁺ 𓊆ྀི❤︎𓊇ྀི ⁺˖˚⊹ - Darcy Clementine is- was. Was a ordinary teenage girl. Actually screw that. She's never been a normal girl, she grew up not knowing that she had witch blood within her when in reality she's been showing signs of unnatural tendencies ever since she was a young girl, from little zaps in her hands to accidentally unknowingly burning out the powder within the house. Her mother died which she was only 6 years old and it left her to live with her father who tried to help patch up the missing piece within the girls puzzle. Ember Woodslow, a powerful fire witch who has actually been dealing with her abilities since her younger years, her parents both holding magical blood meaning that she's been out through only magical school never any normal school. There's a reason she's powerful, she's determined and experienced with her abilities, she knows her limits and she knows when to keep going though when she hits her second last year within the magical high school she's left wondering what she's supposed to do after her education since the witching world was and always has been different to the ordinary world. When Darcy is transferred to Obliviate she's roomed with the one and only Ember, the two not getting along since they quickly realise they've bumped into each other before, the week before to be exact, it's the first week back and it's already filled with chaos and mysteries that are practically begging to be solved. Maybe Darcy's been the key all along?

Hiding From Light: A Beauty and the Beast Genderbend by Arieltoria

14 in fairytaleretelling 10/23/22 Princess Luna of Yaquir angered the wrong person. Now she's doomed to be a beast, as ugly on the outside as she is within, unless she can find someone to love her. At first, with her curse, she thought of only one thing. Ashton. The one thing she wanted, but never got. It made her bitter. And now, she's paying the price. /// Brandon has never been like "the others." They turn to the latest forms of technology and entertainment, determined to make the most of every game and fad to come into their hands. All he really wants is a safe haven to turn the pages of a book, and the ability to lose himself in a world of fiction and others' problems. So when he finds out that libraries all over Yaquir are closing down due to decreased usage and an overabundance of E-books, and that his might be next, he decides to take matters into his own hands. He never dreamed he'd actually end up at a castle instead. Just as he never dreamed he'd become hopelessly stuck there either. This is a Beauty and the Beast genderbend, and the third book in the Light series. As with all of my books, it can be read as a standalone. It's rated PG-13 for language and violence. Updates will be every Saturday starting July 9

Hunting the Fairy Tale by MaggieOHighley

This story is my happy place; I do not plan on ever finishing it. It will go on and on like a soapie. Might break it up into volumes later.

Living with Rebecca's childhood friend, a new world filled with love, excitement, and friendship opens up for both of them. For everybody who also dreams of a fairy tale and won't care if the "knights" were a little dirty.
