Reylo fanart for the transformation scene by the always incredible @panda-cappuccino . The story is a Monster!Kylo / Beauty and the Beast pastiche based on the amazing prompts of @cobwebbing . It’s part of the Ring in the New Year with Reylo collection on AO3. (And yes, we were inspired by our mutual love for Sophie and Howl, and Beauty and the Beast).
