So many strange pairings today! Anyway, I really like this and it is a beautiful AU. And that summary really does its job and helps to pull you in.
I love, love, love, love, and love Lucius in here. And Andromeda? You just managed to put a LOT of people I like in here. I love it!
Overall, this is a really, really good story and I didn't spot any SPaG errors.

OMG, the summary! That made me laugh and I immediately knew what the fic was about, but the twists you pull to make the characters themselves were amazing.
I enjoyed every part of this but let me say the clock sneering was one of my favourite parts here.

And then comes this: ["...he is too young, too innocent to fall in love with a man such as your brother."] the most perfect line in this fic. I think it summarises everything.

And the suspense.

I liked the variations from the original tale of beauty and the beast as it helped keep it more interesting because it was different.. I would have liked to see more scenes of interaction between Rodolophus and Barty just to make it feel believable that he could have fallen in love with him. I enjoyed the interactions with Rabastian and Andromeda and the others.

This was just perfection. I love what you did here. You made it similar but you changed so much of the Beauty and the Beast story at the same time to make it your own.

I like the way you've portrayed the characters with Andromeda as the teapot and Lucius as the clock. Also the way Barty overheard parts of the conversation but didn't really understand until he was getting ready to leave and chose to stay.

The story flowed nicely. I liked the change in pace with the smaller sections which really worked for this fic. Great story and great writing! :D

I read this fic a while back (because I read everything with my dear Barty in it) and thought it was beautiful. Rereading it only made me love it more.

I love Barty’s reaction to the teapot. He’s so rational and I can perfectly imagine he thought he was hallucinating.

“Stop being a baby!” must be my favorite line from the fic, it’s just so Barty.

The pieces with Rab and Andromeda were really sweet. And Lucius is perfect as a sneering clock.

I like how you followed the storyline from Beauty and the Beast and still were able to keep everyone in character. That’s really impressive.

Barty and the Beast! Everyone was so in character in this and you stayed really close to the Beauty and the Beast movie which is impressive! I like the part where Barty asks how he can help. That was so sweet! I wonder if everyone in the castle was able to turn back into people. The ending is quite mysterious.

I really enjoyed your take on Beauty and the Beast here. I also love that you followed the actual story, including the people being turned into furniture and such. That's one bit that doesn't usually make its way into these AUs.

Also. Lucius the sneering clock might be my new favorite thing. And Bellatrix the coat stand was so beautifully Bellatrix.

Reading over it again, the change in pov could have been smoother. There was a moment or two where it took a second to realize it shifted, and I was confused for a second.

I'm curious to know Rod's fate now, since Barty said those magic words as the last petal fell. Did he get to it time? Will Rodolphus be trapped as the Beast forever? Am I shamelessly implying that you should write a followup? (Yes, I am)

Dear DobbyRocksSocks:

My first thought was, "Well, here we go - someone else who doesn't know the difference between true love and the second sin crying to Heaven for vengeance, and is going to pretend that magic doesn't, either." My last thought was, "Wait, what's this? He deliberately waits until the deadline passes to say the words? The only reason to do that would be… but no, I won't believe *that* badly of this author." And somewhere in the middle was, "Okay, I see the reasoning behind Andromeda - but, seriously, if Emma Thompson played her in the new movie, then Sibyll Trelawney has to play her in the Harry Potter fantomime. There's artistic license, and then there's just not playing the game properly." So, no, all in all, I can't say that you won me over with this.

Sincerely,
Qoheleth
