Queer as the Fork when the Knife ran away with the Spoon by fresne (Mature)
Happy 2014! Whether you woke up a little hungover or bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, there's no reason not to keep the good times rolling. A resolution to read and enjoy great fanfic sounds like an excellent way to start, eh? Cheers, one and all.
Fandom: Fairy Tales: Beauty and the Beast
Pairing/Characters: Beauty/Beast; OCs
Length: 4K words
Author Website: at AO3
Why this must be read: It's smart, funny, tender--it's Beauty and the Beast written as urban fantasy!
In this case our protagonist is a young, black, magic-wielding gay man named Uzuri. His name is Swahili in origin, but most people ended up calling him by its English translation: Beauty. Through Beauty's eyes, we learn about his life growing up, his mom and two brothers, and their fall from well-to-do city dwellers to scraping by in the 'burbs. That's when he first turns his magic to growing things, especially roses.
The story is part of two series. I haven't had a chance to read either series yet, although I plan to. "Queer" can be enjoyed independently, and I hope you do because it's delightful.
