*Disclaimer: I in no way, shape, or form own Anya part of Beauty and the Beast. It belongs to Disney. And I sadly do not own any part of Middle Earth, that belongs to J. R. R. Tolkien. I only own my OC's and the storyline. The story's name comes from the Eturan song "Gently as she goes". And yes I used a picture of Monica Bellucci as our lead female character. I just edited it a bit to give her bluish-greenish-grey eyes, black dress, and added some texture to her hair. I have always been of the opinion that Gaston was not truly the villain. That said I don't condone his actions and I think that he could have been redeemed. Gaston did not die from the fall off the beast's castle, by some strange magic. He is alive somehow and is found floating down a river by a young woman and her eccentric grandfather. He is taken into her home and cared for. Perhaps he will find his redemption, and his true love in her homely house. . .
