In this romantic sci-fi retelling of Beauty and the Beast, an archeologist from the year 3192 is stationed in the ruins of Earth 1 and finds hidden away in the work site of Central Park a wooden, handcrafted box. Before she is able to study the mysterious work, she is betrayed by the very men who swore to protect her. 

Although before I get too ahead of myself, I should say that this story starts out as any other. Or as any other should. It starts with a simple phrase:

Once upon a time...

Winter's Rose ~A Beauty and the Beast Retelling~ by twinkleharryy

'"Oh, William, there will be no heir. The throne will sit empty for years. Everything your father created will be gone. And you will not be able to stop it." She walked towards him, like the serpent in the garden. She touched her finger to his forehead, and leaned into close, "You will become the thing you fear the most; a monster who lurks in the night; a soul lost from its path. You will be blinded by your own fear. As time goes on--and it will go on--you will be trapped by your fear until it consumes you. You will forever be a monster, and you won't be able to stop it." "No," he clamored, "I'll overcome it, I'll fight it every day until I die." "Oh, my dear, you will not die. You will be immune to death--a monster today, a monster tomorrow, and a monster forever. A soul lost from its path can only be led back to the light, it cannot find its own path."' (The Two Curses) ~~ How can a person lead you back to the light when they are as blind as you?

Experiment Dome| Loop Of Time (Editing) by madcap_maddie

.. To begin this story most would say once upon a time. But what if that story is still going? Over and over. An infinite loop some might say.... .. Imagine a world where every day is the same. The sun rises, you wake up, and the same events unfold, again and again. For some, this monotony is a prison. But for Jeremiah, it's a puzzle. -------- I have no Idea to write and the story starts off slow! Hope you enjoy? ✨

The Best Tea Cup is Chipped Book 1 by MissyQueenofEvil7

Beauty and the Beast. Belle and Rumplestilskin. A tale as old as time. This is the story of how a brave woman came to love an ugly man beginning with they're days in the Dark Castle and how against all odds they never stopped fighting for each other. Because the few flashbacks we got were not nearly enough nor were the few episodes focusing on them. Diverges from canon around Belle's imprisonment. I don't own Once Upon a Time it's plots, or characters.

Starry Eyed Fighters by JirehCrowell

Belle grew up with a relatively normal life in Ireland, raised by her grandparents who nurtured her into adulthood. However, after learning the truth about her real parents following her college graduation, her world shifted. The mystery of her parents' sudden disappearance began to weigh heavily on her, filling her with unanswered questions. Determined to uncover the truth about this crucial part of her life, Belle decided to stop living in the dark. As a brilliant professor at Silver Lining University, she leveraged every advantage at her disposal-tapping into the institution's vast network of resources, connections, and research tools. After years of investigation, she finally stumbled upon a lead: an abandoned, once-hidden village buried in rumors. The village was said to have once been home to vampires, human-like aliens, and other rare magical creatures, but the most troubling rumor tied the place to a series of strange disappearances over the years-disappearances that Belle realized were connected to her parents. Armed with this knowledge and driven by her unrelenting determination, Belle embarks on a journey to the village, hoping to uncover the answers she had been longing for a couple years.

A Retelling of the Fairy Tale: Beauty and the Beast.-- Rosalie yearns for new sights and adventure, but she's trapped on the French coast in a simple little village where she lives with her father, the inventor. She strives for some semblance of peace by evading the people, particularly one terribly incorrigible hunter. But when she comes face to face with the fabled monster of the woods, Rosalie is conflicted with the instinct to flee and the undeniable connection she feels for the beast. Eventually, she has to make a choice: Either she runs away from destiny, relegating herself to a mundane, boring life. Or, she gives up everything she's accumulated in her twenty years to seek out the adventure she'd always dreamed of.

The Time-Traveller's Choice by sennalily

One moment, Emma Scott is in her college room in 2015, and the next she's in 1921 falling in love with an ex-soldier with a charming smile and a secret... Emma's an old hand at time travel: the first time she was pulled backwards she was ten years old. She can sense the memories that stone, fabric and wood have soaked up: usually she just sees them, but sometimes she ends up living them. She knows the drill: (1) avoid getting pulled backwards in the first place; (2) avoid the object that's pulled you backwards; (3) prevent the memory that imprints on the object, or, if all that fails, (4) wait it out until you're back in the right time. The problem is that the object was an old ring that her Granny Alice bequeathed to her, and Emma last saw it on the finger of her great grandmother, fleeing into a crowded London street. Now Emma is trying to find the ring and go back to her own time, but her great grandmother has vanished, and meanwhile there's Charlie Lawrence who's making Emma wonder if she even wants to go back at all...

***COMPLETED*** A revamped, modern-day, adult version of the classic fairytale Beauty And The Beast. *** His blazing dark eyes were filled with rage and she finally saw the beast inside him awaken. "You're a monster!" she shouted as the tears rolled down her face in horror. "I don't care what the fuck you think I am! You're mine now and you'll do as I say!" he said in his egotistical deep husky voice. Taking a prominent step closer as he ordered, "Now take off your clothes!" Belle locked her jaw as she held back the tears and with a shaky breath she began to strip down to her laced undergarments. She looked up at his face and saw the wild beast stalking his prey and she began to fume again he had subjected her to such a disgraceful position. She took her dress and with all her might threw it straight at his face in a rage. "You may own me, but take a good look because you will never have me!" She turned and walked to the door but in a quick second, he lunged at her, pinning her against the wall with his strength as his hand ferociously gripped her chin tight, forcing her to keep her eyes locked on his. "You're my wife! You're supposed to give yourself to me!" "A wife is supposed to love you and I hate you! No one could ever love someone like you!" Belle said through her gritted teeth. *** Forced into an arranged marriage to save her father's reputation, Isabelle La Fleur marries Jackson Mason, a billionaire whose family business was handed down to him. As these newlyweds live together, they learn the faults and stories behind each other? Can Belle see through Jackson's beastly exterior and learn to love what's hidden underneath?
