Beta: Thanks to albalark   who was not only a beta, but a teacher of precious English lessons (in so many pretty colours) and to disassembly_rsn   whose history knowledge I envy, and who helped me revise a lot of the backstory. You two made this insanely better, I hope you know how much I appreciate your help. I also thank the lovely anarion  who, once again, helped me deal with my inability to write a mistake-free header.

I also thank the lovely anon who answered my questions about the school system in the chatter post of the kinkmeme.

Disclaimers: I own nothing. The 'skeleton' of this story comes from this novel, which I adore. It's a new take on the very well known story Beauty and the Beast and I borrowed a lot from it (mostly elements of plot, but some of the words were translated directly from the book). Still, no knowledge of the novel is required to understand and appreciate this story. As for the Sherlock stuff, well you know where that comes from, and the title is from a poem by E.E. Cummings.
