Benno Stories

Two girls, one prince, a lake and one special love story! After many years dealing with my favorite ballet and fairy tale, Swan Lake, I'm retelling this famous fairy tale. I'm following mostly the original story, but of course, there's some imagination added. It's the story of pure love and and a magical lake of tears, of white swans and glittering ball room dances, of faith and betrayal, of fairies and princes. My greatest interest was creating in something pleasant and satisfying (with a touch by Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott), and something faifhful to Tchaikovsky's brilliant genius. So, read the untol story that no movie, no stage did ever feature (although I think that the Barbie movie is the most faithful). I will put an author's note on my sources (Read more in my other fanfics). Here you'll find the original libretto (I had Google translate it): http://www.ballet.classical.ru/reisinger.html, but also on my YouTube Channel. cover made with Allerleirauh maker game by Azalea Dolls

Odette has always been nervous around insecure about herself. It doesn't help that her stepfather always looks down on her and her stepsister and best friend Odile is so beautiful and talented. One day after going into the forest, she runs into a sorcerer and some rat shifters who plan to overthrow the Queen and is turned into a swan as a result. Prince Siegfried is very stressed. His mother is pressuring to find a bride before he is crowned King. Now he is constantly finding himself meeting girls and having no time to for himself. So when his best friend Benno suggests they go on one last hunting excursion he agrees! He wasn't expecting to find a familiar girl turned swan and a plot against his family. Now the two will have to work together to break the spell and save the kingdom, with some help from some close friends, the fairy Queen, and the Guardians of the forest. Love, excitement, and the discovery of inner strength abound in this retelling of the classic ballet.
