I'm not who they think I am. A docile girl who meekly obeys her stepmother and stepsisters. Some kind of sick angel who cheerfully bears their mistreatment. That's what I WANT them to think. Because then they won't suspect what I'm really up to. The ball, the prince - it's all part of my plan to come out on top. Stepmother and her demented daughters will pay for every floor I have scoured, every sneer I have borne. They don't know about the white magic, how I use it to enhance myself. They can't see that my heart is black as midnight, rotten as a poisoned apple. They're about to find out.

FCRAs Runner-Up! Take a step back from the Snow White tale you know. Step back to get a better look. Skin pale as snow. Hair black as ebony. Lips red as blood. What does that sound like to you, dear reader? A creature of the dark. One that lives in the shadows, that cowers at the bright glow of the sun, that lives on the blood of others. She's manipulative, or she's magic, for no one seems to see the harm she does. Only the sweet, innocent facade that she puts up. When I married her father, that's all I saw as well. But on his death bed, he made me promise to end her because he never could. I promised him. I failed. • • • As the young Queen Maris is left to rule the icy kingdom her husband left her, dreams of the summer wind in her heart, she's left with the shocking dilemma the king has given her as his dying wish. To kill his only daughter, the beloved and fair Snow White. Maris isn't a killer, but as her rule progresses, she alone begins to see the princess for what she truly is, a bloodthirsty creature that could end up destroying the kingdom of Krithane In an attempt to save the life of a dear friend, Maris hires a Huntsman from the West to take Snow away and kill her. But when Beck comes back empty handed, Maris is left with only one choice. She has to be the one to kill Snow White. With Beck at her side, Maris sets out to rid Krithane of the icy grip that Snow has on it. But how can she defeat her when so many others have failed? Only with more power than Snow can she ever hope to best her, but the only thing that can give her that kind of power is even darker than the creature she's fighting. ----- Thanks to @seventhstar for that gorgeous cover!!!

Cindy Ella Woods didn't expect anything to happen when she agreed to go to the spring masquerade ball. That is, until she drops her bracelet after dancing with a masked man who happened to be Peyton Charming. Peyton Charming certainly didn't expect to dance with a beautiful stranger with only a bracelet to give a hint to her identity when she runs away from him. Did I forget to mention that Peyton just happens to be an international pop star taking a break from music so he can be a normal teenager for senior year? Did I also forget to mention that Cindy's step-sisters and Peyton’s ex will do anything to get a chance with the notorious man that she danced with? After that night, Cindy finds her world turned upside down. It seems that Peyton is obsessed with finding his ‘Cinderella’, even after a couple failed attempts.

We all know the story of Beauty and the Beast. This story follows the outline of the traditional story pretty well with some changes to make it seems more real, more intense, and not such a fairytale. There's a Mansion secluded in the thick forest south of town that Isabelle happened to run into one very stormy night. Denied help from the Master, but aided by the servants, she finds her life intertwined with theirs and there's nothing she can do to stop it. The Master is horrible - beastly. He's powerful, and manages to put Isabelle under a spell of his own. A story of two people learning about themselves by falling in love with the other. Here's my version of Beauty and the Beast.
