For who could ever love a beast? (Patreon)

Another freebee! :) Some of ya may have already seen it, but for context: I received a very poor attempt at Anon hate and it ended up spurring a Beauty and the Beast AU based on what they said, and I quote: "Homoerotic tracings of Beauty and the Beast".

SO! This AU is essentially asking-- and answering-- the question: What would happen if Beast was a woman, and the rose had already wilted?

I've spiraled a little into the actual nitty gritty of the AU so don't be terribly surprised if you see more artwork and headcanons on it soon! :)
