BEYOND THE STAINED GLASS
~ an arc of stories ~

These are Continuing Classic Beauty and the Beast fanfiction stories taking place some time after the events of A Kingdom by the Sea and instead of the last four episodes of Season 2 of the TV series (The Hollow Men and the Trilogy). I wholly leave canon at this point and create a different world of possibilities for Vincent and Catherine (and Father and Mouse) Above in the city of New York and Below in the Tunnels, hopefully always true to character and using the first 40 episodes as inspiration and guide.
Progressive from I Carry Your Heart, subsequent stories reference earlier-introduced characters, images and experiences, so the stories really should be read in order.
A bit down the main page are links to several stories posted on the fanfiction site, Everything. While these stories are not technically part of the Beyond the Stained Glass arc, they were written within the same universe, because I don't seem to be able to think outside my own box! The stories all mesh with and within the arc of Beyond the Stained Glass.
