Fandom Snowflake Challenge: Day 15, fin

As I've said before, my Beauty and the Beast story, Enchanted Life, is one of my most popular Yuletide stories ever, and I'm still humbled by all the comments. This comment by geri_chan recently touched me:

I loved seeing Mrs. Potts standing up to the Beast in a stern and motherly fashion, and it made me think that maybe it's thanks to her that he became someone that Belle could love--sort of awakening a seed of potential in him, perhaps, though Belle is the one who developed it further and broke the curse?

I also quite liked seeing Mrs. Potts's strength as she deals with the Beast and the castle staff, and the way it's contrasted with the touch of vulnerability she shows in her sleep, which is very lovely and bittersweet. (I'm glad we know that she eventually gets a happy ending!)

I know I'm not the most verbose of people when it comes to fanworks, but I'm always grateful for positive comments on anything I do.
