A Beauty and the Beast AU where Belle realizing she loves Beast isn’t at some dramatic climactic event but during some randome everyday moment. Like, she’s filing her nails and just kinda glances up at him and he’s like doing something just as dull and it just kinda dawns on her that she loves him but she doesn’t voice it cause she isn’t exactly ready to confront thoes emotions and what they mean so she goes back to filing her nails but then is starts raining glitter and Beast is defying gravity in a glowing ball of light and the castle is changing back and everyone becomes human again. Then everyone is left in silent moment of shock and confusion and Belle, being completely unaware of what it takes to break the curse, is just staring around in horror while everyone freshly humanized comes running into whatever room she and Beast were in (probably the library) expecting to see something other than human Beast in a heap on the ground and Belle across the room in a chair frozen in shock and confusion and everyone just kinda looks at each other for a couple of seconds not realy sure what to say cause nobody is entirely sure what happened other than the curse was broken. Then Beast finaly gets up and looks around and realizes what this means and looks at Belle and is just like “you love me?” And Belle is just like “wat?”

In the book industry, Amazon is Goliath, the giant who overshadows everyone else. But there’s a new David on the scene, Bookshop.org.
It doesn’t expect to topple the giant, but it has launched a weapon that could make Amazon’s shadow a little smaller, and help local bookstores fight back.
Bookshop.org, a website that went live at the end of January and is still in beta mode, is designed to be an alternative to Amazon, and to generate income for independent bookstores. And, perhaps more importantly, it seeks to give book reviewers, bloggers and publications who rely on affiliate income from “Buy now” links to Amazon a different option.
Profit from books sold through Bookshop will be split three ways, with 10% of the sale price going into a pool that will be divided among participating bookstores, 10% going to the publication that triggered the sale by linking to Bookshop.org, and 10% going to Bookshop.org to support its operations.

Batman takes Marinette to the watch tower for whatever reason. Second everyone sees her
Superman: Batman, step away. Good. Ok, who has the least tragic backstory, least dark life, but still has the power to protect her?
Aquaman: I do not know who that child is but I want to protect them and make sure there are only good things in her life.
Flash: Same, but I’m out. If I run her anywhere and am not careful…well bodies aren’t designed for that speed. Same with you as I’m pretty sure she can’t breathe underwater
Batman: She’s-
Superman: No. Not with your current dark knight routine.
Manhunter: I could help.
Superman: You sure, John?
Marinette: So you know I already have parents, I’m not a sidekick, still underage, and have class to get to. Batsy just sort of brought me for some reason I’m still not sure of
Batman: Because you are a new member of the Justice League and we protect our own.
Marinette: I’m struggling with keeping Paris safe let alone fighting everything you do.
Manhunter: I can learn French.
Marinette: I really didn’t ask for-
Green Lantern (passing her a ring): Here, in case you ever need some protection. I’ll get another
Wonderwoman: Batman once mentioned you were struggling with a liar. I will escort you home to expose them unless you would just like my lasso yourself.
Marinette: I really-
Batman: So we have decided. John you will join Marinette in Paris pretending to be her new teacher so you can protect her there. Wonder woman you will make sure all around her are good people. Superman you’ll find Hawkmoth and defeat him.
Marinette: I’m really really scared to ask but what will you be doing?
Batman: Hawkgirl is going to give your boyfriend a little visit while I talk to the other one about what happens if you get hurt.
Marinette: Wonder if Fluff will let me go back in time to avoid all this
Batman: We can also time travel so don’t do that
Marinette: Don’t you have a world to protect? Surely Joker is doing something or someone?
Batman (shrugs): Someone will take care of it. Think Constantine is down there? Green Arrow? Someone will deal with it.
