The Honest Queen (A Fairytale Retelling) by eukiqueen

Drizella Tremaine was never the ugly stepsister she seemed to be-sharp, clever, and fiercely honest, she has long been overshadowed by her stepsister, Cinderella. When a chance encounter in a forgotten library brings her face-to-face with Prince Henry, a friendship sparked by insults and laughter slowly grows into a love that neither expected. But love is not enough to shield them from ambition and deceit. In a tale of letters and lies, fire and ashes, The Honest Queen is a sweeping retelling of Cinderella-where the stepsister becomes the queen, the prince learns to see beyond appearances, and happily ever after is earned through truth, courage, and love.

Ugly: A Faerie Tale Retold by HannahRobinsonAuthor

You've heard the story of Cinderella-- how she conquered the odds, danced at the ball, and married the prince. That's mostly accurate, except for the part about marrying the prince. This story is not about Cinderella. It's about her ugly stepsister, Thisbe, who also conquered the odds and danced at the ball. And if you want to find out who actually married the prince... well, you'll have to read the story. Trigger warnings: Child abuse and mentions of suicide.

Sacrifice For The Job by Idkhowtostopwriting

(This story is mostly smut as I plan on my next release being more innocent and lacking in that area. It also focuses very little on side characters since I wanted to keep the story short after feeling like my more recent stories have been a bit too long) After having the glow up of her dreams, Aria Hart finally believes she can get and do anything she wants. With that in mind, she goes after the job her ill uncle had always dreamt for her. She knows it will make him proud and believes pretty privilege will work in her favor. To her surprise, when she finally speaks to the man in charge, Elijah Caddel, she realizes that pretty privilege comes with a lot more opportunities than she previously imagined. Not all of them great. Aria finds herself in a deal she would have never imagined. One that actually makes her scowl upon hearing it. But when that deal can make or break her promise to her sick uncle, she feels she has no other choice but to accept it. After hearing the severity of the terms and experiencing it firsthand, Aria can't decide how she feels about their new agreement. Or how she feels about Elijah. (Similarly to "No Good For You", this story only details the start of their relationship. Not the during.) (Warning: this story is for readers 21+, intense smut scenes and language are included. Reader discretion advised.) (Story does switch POVs)

Her Cinder Throne (Completed) by ViridianHues

Cole Glassad couldn't care less about the upcoming palace ball meant to find a wife for the prince. Her life is down in the dangerous Sparkstone mines, slaving away for a few coins that her stepmother and stepsister promptly steal. With life a living hell, she has barely enough energy to care for the injured animals she tends in secret, much less a party for the royal family that cares so little for her and the people like her. It isn't until a mysterious man appears out of the shadows, claiming to be one of the long-lost faeries and offering her a chance at freedom, that she begins to see hope. In exchange for enough money to free herself from her family, the faerie asks only for one thing in return-- that Cole attends the ball in order to get close enough to the prince to assassinate him and bring an end to the corrupted royal line. With her mission clear, Cole enters the world of the palace to learn about the prince and find a way into his ball. But dark secrets, violent plots, a strange sense that perhaps the prince isn't as bad as the faerie makes him seem, and a life-changing discovery about her past, all conspire to make Cole's shot at freedom messy and difficult. She must find the strength to get close to the prince, or else the mysterious faerie will send her back to the mines and her dreadful family. Once the clock strikes midnight... she must fulfill her end of the bargain. Once the clock strikes midnight... her hands must be red with the prince's blood.
