Beauty and the Beast ft. Alice, Ryou, Sheila, and Berta
It was as tale as old as time~
A short-tempered, foul-mouthed chef named Ryou Kurokiba and his restaurant’s staff fall under the spell of a magical food critic, who turns him into the “Mad Dog” that his attitude reflects. The curse will remain, and the restaurant is doomed to fail until he learns to show respect and love, and be loved and admired in return.
A year goes by, but the spell remains strong; the staff had all but lost hope in returning to the daily hustle and bustle of the kitchen.... That is, until one fateful, stormy evening, a spirited and brilliant young heiress by the name of Ms. Alice Nakiri stumbles through the dusty doors of the forsaken restaurant....
Will Alice be the one to draw out the mad beast’s cold heart? Will Ryou ever chill? Will she drive him even madder? Will the curse EVER be lifted?
No one knows, but only one thing is certain...
Lumiere!Berta and Cogsworth!Sheila ship it.

I’ve had this AU bubbling in my head ever since I watched the live action in theaters a while back. Can you hear Ryou’s “tch” from looking at his face? lol!
Enjoy :)
