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.
Further 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!  
I hope you enjoy your visit here. Feedback is welcomed and appreciated. If you'd like, leave a comment after any chapter or send me an email.

WITH WHOM BUT THEE 
an expansion of Nor Iron Bars a Cage

RESIDUUM
an expansion of Down to a Sunless Sea

THE WIND ... BLOWING IN THE SAME BARE PLACE
from Winslow's perspective ... Shades of Gray

THE PAUSE
... ... ...
What might Vincent be thinking? An imagining from Promises of Someday

OH SWEETEST SONG
Vincent's bed squeaks … a writing prompt inspired by Labyrinths

STILL CAN'T SAY GOODBYE
Jamie's Story …  Below this City ~ The Hearthside Stories

AT FIRST SIGHT
The Broken Headlamp ~ The Keepsake Stories

BADGES OF GRIEF AND PATIENCE
Sebastien's Story …  Secret-Keepers ~ Hearthside Stories II

THE LOVE, THE HOPE, THE PROPHECY
That moment between the rescue and their leave-taking ~ Shades of Gray

A/N: Winslow's, Jamie's, and this last Shades of Gray story dovetail.
The windblowing and The Love, The Hope ...
correspond in time … sort of. (There's no necessary order to the two.)
Jamie's story and Winslow's are specifically connected (Winslow's best read first)





 we wanted to see, words we wished to hear, kisses that surely happened ... 
We're happily assigning ourselves homework to fill these gaps
 - short stories and songs so far, poems and artwork to come -
with more projects in the works.

Please visit our collaborative site for episode enhancements and expansions!
