Author's Notes: Well, this was originally going to be longer and very heavily based on the original text of the fairytale, and then NaNoWriMo happened and Bella stole Andromeda's thunder and this was the result. As it turns out, there are a few images and a few metaphors from the original, but little of the plot.
