I have to say that I really liked the way you altered the Disney version, because despite those alterations, the story's still, undeniably, Beauty and the Beast.
What made me attached to Aiba here (apart from the very obvious A no Arashi that he is) is that he tries so hard to preserve his friends and even blames himself for what's happened. Somehow, that's very Aiba to me and the friendship of those five just seemed more realistic, despite this being based on a fairytale. How Arashi can stay in character even in AUs, I'll never understand.
Nino's snarks and comments lol, so accurate. When I first read where this was based on, I already anticipated what kind of a character he'll be. And you had him meet Becky first and call her Breeches throughout the story. I just love the way you write Nino, because he's kinda elusive in fics. I saw none of that here. :3
Lol at Jun so protective of his castle, Ohno for still fishing with Becky's dad while something was already amiss, and Sakumiya arguing about Sho's fear of heights. Somehow, that made the situation a little lighter. Arashi can really brighten up even the worse situations. (Wedding scene kinda reminded me of Shrek, but this is supposed to be Disney so I dismissed the idea.)
Overall this was very entertaining, and I read through it as if I was reading a printed copy of Beauty and the Beast. :)
