A/N: Just a little 50 sentences fic since it's been so long since I wrote anything. I do have several longer fics in the works, but those obviously will take longer, so I hope this will tide you over. Thank you so much for reading my works!
These ones are a bit angstier than my previous set, but I think that makes the sweeter moments even better. Hope you enjoy these!

#12 - Blessing
Though he never dares to say it aloud, to Stanley, Gaston's death is a blessing in disguise.
#13 - Bias
"Ah, there's my favorite bartender," Stanley says lightly as Lefou walks past him into the tavern.

Lefou learns that the sicker Stanley feels, the more affectionate he gets; he is therefore unsurprised when he wakes in the middle of the night to both find Stanley nuzzling against him, and a fever burning through his body.

Lefou watches Stanley grab for his sword when startled, and knows his lover's old habit isn't as innocent as they pretend.

Head hung, tears streaming down his face, Stanley tears apart the elegant dress Garderobe had given him, knowing that if he's seen in it again, he'll never be able to make an excuse.
#26 - Jump
Sometimes Lefou stands at the highest towers of the castle and wonders what it would feel like to simply let go.
#27 - Jester
Lefou used to think of himself as someone who brought laughter to others, but in the months after losing Gaston, he feels more like a black hole; simply sucking everything in until there's nothing left but void.
#28 - Jousting
Watching Stanley win a play duel with Tom, Lefou has to wonder if Stanley truly loves swordplay so much, or if he is trying to act more like Gaston to win Lefou's affection.

"It was my mother's," Lefou whispers, pressing the pearl necklace into Stanley's hand.

Every bit of suffering Stanley watches Lefou go through makes him question the existence of justice.
#31 - Smirk
Stanley had never imagined such a small expression could be such a large victory.

Lefou's moods are like the tides, flowing from soft happiness back to quiet sadness; Stanley is more like a fierce ocean, cresting in giant waves of jollity or fury and crashing back into sorrow.
#33 - Stupidity
"There's a reason I have the nickname I do," Lefou tells Stanley, making their hearts both ache in tandem.
#34 - Serenade
"I thought maybe someone should sing your praises for once," Stanley confesses, hopping off the tavern's tables to meet Lefou.

"Just trying to decide whether to off myself," Lefou says, and Stanley is terrified to realize he actually can't tell if Lefou is being sarcastic or not.
#36 - Sordid
"Gaston did try to kill Maurice- I lied to you that whole time," Lefou says, not meeting Stanley's eyes.
#37 - Soliloquy
Every time Lefou finds himself alone, he whispers his awe and elation that Stanley is his.
#38 - Sojourn
At first, Lefou wonders if his feelings for Stanley are simply his heart seeking a port in the storm of upset he's experiencing, but very quickly he realizes just how real it all is.
#39 - Share
Sometimes Lefou forgets that Stanley is grieving Gaston as well, until Stanley shares a memory that brings a faint smile to Lefou's face.
#40 - Solitary
Alone in their- his- the tavern after it closes, Lefou sinks onto Gaston's old chair, then and only then allowing himself to cry.
#41 - Nowhere
Every time Stanley asks where Lefou has been, he gives the same unsatisfactory answer that Stanley has no choice but to accept, despite his worry.
#42 - Neutral
Between Tom and Dick, Tom is the softer yet more practical, and so Stanley finds his way to him to ask what Tom would do for Lefou if he were in Stanley's place.
#43 - Nuance
Lefou and Stanley come to know each other well enough that the slightest change in expression is clearer to them than words are for most other couples.
#44 - Near
Stanley's heartbeat is a constant reminder to Lefou that he will never be alone again.
#45 - Natural
"If an enchantress can turn a man into a beast… then maybe we aren't the aberrations after all?"
#46 - Horizon
Stanley looks for Lefou like a sailor seeking a lighthouse, and his heart soars when he finally finds him.
#47 - Valiant
It is easy for Lefou to forget that Stanley was in the war alongside himself and Gaston, for Stanley does such a good job at hiding his scars; and yet every time he leaps into action to protect Lefou, he is reminded that Stanley has the spirit of a warrior.
#48 - Virtuous
"None of them are what they claim to be," Lefou whispers, a hand on Stanley's arm as he pulls him away from the judging glares.
#49 - Victory
When hearing Gaston's name no longer makes Lefou feel like crying, he knows he'll win the battle against his grief after all.
#50 - Defeat
And yet Lefou knows, should he be unlucky enough to lose Stanley first instead of the other way around, that the grief will be a wound he'll never heal from.
