Ever plan on picking this up again? I'm on edge!

Great story so far.

I'm confused...
Is Belle truly dead, or did she just develop amnesia?

What happened to Belle?

Good three chapters

Your writing is so much better than I expected! I knew you had tremendous sonnets, but I wasn't sure how your actual writing would be. It surprised me a lot actually and I can definitely see you being a published author. I want to be an author as well but idk how that's gonna work out haha. We'll see. You deserve so much more popularity on this because it truly is engrossing and I'm in love with it so far.

This is probably just me and my very "American"-ness, but for dialogue, I thought you were supposed to have two quotation marks instead of one. I've never seen dialogue with just one but I know grammar is different for each country haha so I'll let that slide. It just looks funny to me I suppose; never seen it done that way.

I'm not sure if you intended for all of these comma splices, but I did notice a lot of them. Sometimes authors put them in their for emphasis so I wasn't really sure. For example, in the first paragraph description: "... his wife's portrait. Calling herself Elaine Covette." That should be conjoined. Comma splices really annoy me so I just wasn't sure if you intended the ones in here or not. It's fine if you did. That one was the first and most obvious to me.

I loved all the descriptions of the music in here! So beautiful! It's all so poetic and you write it so eloquently. I play the piano and clarinet and sing so I know a thing or two haha. It's almost setting a tone for the whole story, this little concerto. It's so beautiful but has an eery darkness about it. I have a feeling that's the way this fic is going to be.

I absolutely adore Elaine's character in this! The minute she said, "Oh, how you flatter me," I knew I was going to love her character! She seems very reserved in the beginning of the chapter with a mysterious air about her. I hope you keep it that way with her character for a little bit maybe, to keep the readers on their toes and wondering. In the second half, you gave her a bit of characterization, however. I like the little bit of sassy undertones you've given her. I hope you keep it that way and that underneath she is truly a devil of a thing. ;) I love female characters who are like that: sassy yet classy! I think it's interesting you put it how she doesn't want to go on the French trips with her father. "I don't want to go see the most arrogant, conceited people on the planet-" (something like that) That part made me laugh. It may be just me, but I noticed a bit of an implication there.

I love how you added in the part with Prince Adam. That was nice and a nod to what we will be seeing in future chapters. I feel like he's going to be extremely depressed with Belle gone. I'd love to see some eighteenth-century style lamenting/mourning in here! I love paragraphs and paragraphs of just depressive nothing from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries haha (i.e. Edgar Allen Poe).

I generally hate reading BATB stories where the prince is human; I love him in beast form so much! But I've definitely made an exception for this one. ;) Maybe Adam will become a beast again? That's happened in fics before as well. So excited to see where you're taking this! I think it's an awesome story so far. My only real complaint is that I wish it had more updates!

This is amazing, so well written and the idea itself is very much intriguing! Thank you for writing this!

You posted a new chapter! \o/ This was an excellent read - I'm really getting into this story's premise as it starts to unfold and I enjoy your writing even more with each new addition. Your portrayal of the prince after the grief of losing Belle is very true and honest to his character I think, and achingly heart-wrenching in sort of a quiet, subtle way. I think the staff - Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts - were all spot on as well. (I love the endearing, paternal feel you give to the relationship between the prince and Mrs. Potts especially.)

Looking forward to the next chapter! (And don't worry yourself about speed! Better to write slow than not write at all, and the extra care you put into crafting your story well shows.)

I think that you should spend more time whit elaine. I don't speak english so sorry if i'm not clear. Write more about theirs wishes and fears give them passion and beauty. Make your history one of the see and not take, take but no taste. They are beauty and the beast make that count. I love this fic and the movie because all the characters wanted something eve

I want more!

Cannot wait for the next update!

Oh how sad! What happened to poor Belle?

I love it

I really, really like your writing style, not to mention your story!
