A third idea would be to focus on the reactions of the side characters. The servants in the castle, like Lumière and Cogsworth, might have their own thoughts and concerns. They could be excited about the new addition to the castle, but also worried about how it will all work out given the unique situation of the Beast and Belle.
Another aspect could be the magical elements related to the pregnancy. Since it's a world full of magic, perhaps there are special spells or potions that are involved in ensuring a healthy pregnancy for Belle. It could also be about how the unborn child might have some sort of connection to the magic of the castle already.
One idea could be exploring how the pregnancy affects the relationship between Belle and the Beast. Maybe they have to face new challenges together, like preparing for the arrival of the baby while still dealing with the curse and the opinions of the castle's inhabitants.
Finally, think about the resolution and the future. Will the baby be a symbol of hope for breaking the curse completely? How will the characters grow and develop as parents? You can also end with a positive note, like the family living happily ever after in a fully transformed castle, free from the curse.
One idea could be that Belle discovers she's pregnant shortly after the curse on the castle is fully broken. This could bring a new sense of joy and anticipation to the castle. The Beast, now a prince again, might be both excited and a bit nervous about becoming a father. He could start making preparations like renovating a special nursery in the castle. Another idea is that during Belle's pregnancy, some of the enchanted objects in the castle could take on new roles as babysitters or helpers, adding a touch of magic to the pregnancy journey.
One idea could be that the Beast is initially overjoyed but then becomes overly protective, causing some tension between him and Catherine. He might start restricting her movements in the castle, thinking it's for her and the baby's safety.
Well, a cool fanfiction concept could be that Belle discovers a hidden part of the castle that holds the secrets of Beast's past. As she uncovers these secrets, it deepens their relationship even more. Or perhaps a story where Beast gets turned human for a short time and he has to adapt to the human world without Belle by his side at first. He then realizes how much he truly depends on her. Another interesting one would be a fanfiction where Belle's father gets lost in the enchanted forest again, and Beast and Belle have to go on a new adventure to find him.
One idea could be a story where Hermione is transported into the world of Beauty and the Beast. She could use her magic to break the curse in a different way than in the original story. For example, instead of falling in love with the Beast right away, she tries to find a magical solution using her knowledge from Hogwarts.
Love and growth are likely themes. The love between Belle and the Beast continues to grow as they anticipate the arrival of their child. They also grow as individuals. Belle becomes a mother - to - be, and the Beast evolves into a more responsible and caring figure. And there could be a theme of hope. Their child represents hope for a future where humans and the enchanted beings in the castle can coexist peacefully.
In such a fanfiction, the story might develop with the Beast being extra protective of Belle. He would ensure she has the best of everything in the castle. Maybe he'd have the servants prepare special foods for her pregnancy cravings. The castle itself could also seem to come alive in a new way, with the magic reacting to the new life growing inside Belle.
An interesting OC for a Beauty and the Beast fanfiction could be a talking animal servant in the castle who has their own unique perspective on the curse. They could befriend the Beast in a way that no human has before and help him see things from a different angle. Or perhaps an OC who is a forest spirit that is drawn to the magic of the castle. This spirit could interact with both Belle and the Beast, guiding them towards true love. A third idea is an OC who is a young inventor like Belle's father. This character could bring new inventions to the castle that either help or hinder the situation with the curse.
One idea could be exploring the Beast's past more deeply. Maybe a story about his life before the curse, his relationship with his family and how it all led to his current situation.
One idea could be that the characters from Glee perform a musical version of Beauty and the Beast within the Glee club setting. They could assign roles like Rachel as Belle and Finn as the Beast. Another could be a crossover where the Beast from the fairy tale somehow ends up in the Glee universe and has to learn about music and friendship from the Glee kids. And a third idea might be that the Glee club does a fundraiser by putting on a modern - day retelling of Beauty and the Beast, with unique twists on the characters and their relationships.
