Theme 7Based off AnnamaeTezuka's 100 themes. Simple little sort fics revolving around my favorite crossover pairing, Clopin/Belle (The Hunchback of Notre Dame/Beauty and the Beast respectively.) I thought about writing all these in one connected story, but I think it would be more fun to write them all as separate stories. As much as Belle enjoyed being left alone to read her books, she liked it even more to read out loud and share the stories that she loved so much with others. If there was someone who wanted to listen Belle wanted to tell. Which was how she became such good friends with Clopin they both loved to tell stories. The difference w

I thought about writing all these in one connected story, but I think it would be more fun to write them all as separate stories. If there was one thing Clopin loved, it was the spotlight.
