To tell you the truth, I've always been in love with the ideas of pure happiness. You know, the type you find in fairy-tales. Snow White, with her Prince Charming. Cinderella, with her love that found her through a simple shoe. Belle and her Beast, a Prince that hid behind a matted coat of fur. The classics. Ever since I was young, I wore each book and movie past it's prime. I know each story by heart, just as the two love birds know the other's soul. I've always been curious about the truths behind the played up Disney animated movies. I know that the darkness of it all was not kid-friendly, so of course it was swept under the carpet of sunshine and happily ever afters by the fairy godmothers, but I never expected to find this much detail. You see, I did some digging, expecting to find the written tales, or maybe the original books, but I found something much more original than that of a book could hold, I didn't realize it at first, but I soon came to paying attention. You must be so confused, dear reader, here; Let me explain. But I must warn you. What is read, cannot be unread. Trust me, I know.

Fairytales are real
What if I told you that every fairy tale you grew up with actually happened-but not the way Disney showed you? What if Cinderella didn't find her prince charming, but was selected by a dying king as a disposable bride for his murderous son? What if those glass slippers weren't a gift of magic, but instruments of control-beautiful prisons that bound her to a monster she was too terrified to defy? What if "happily ever after" was just a lie she told to survive, a performance she gave while bleeding inside those perfect glass shoes, married to a man she didn't love but was genuinely, desperately afraid of? Would you believe me? This collection tears away the sanitized veneer of classic fairy tales to reveal the brutal truths beneath. Here, Beauty doesn't tame the Beast-she learns what happens when you're trapped with a monster who owns you. Snow White discovers that sometimes the dwarfs aren't saviors, and true love's kiss solves nothing. These are the real fairy tales. The ones where young women don't escape their circumstances through magic, but are destroyed by systems of power too vast to fight. Where evil doesn't lose-it rewrites history and calls itself love. Where there are no fairy godmothers, no last-minute rescues, no happily ever afters. Just the horror of beautiful lies, and the women who died believing them. Seven tales. Seven tragedies. The truth behind the magic.

Winter's Rose ~A Beauty and the Beast Retelling~
'"Oh, William, there will be no heir. The throne will sit empty for years. Everything your father created will be gone. And you will not be able to stop it." She walked towards him, like the serpent in the garden. She touched her finger to his forehead, and leaned into close, "You will become the thing you fear the most; a monster who lurks in the night; a soul lost from its path. You will be blinded by your own fear. As time goes on--and it will go on--you will be trapped by your fear until it consumes you. You will forever be a monster, and you won't be able to stop it." "No," he clamored, "I'll overcome it, I'll fight it every day until I die." "Oh, my dear, you will not die. You will be immune to death--a monster today, a monster tomorrow, and a monster forever. A soul lost from its path can only be led back to the light, it cannot find its own path."' (The Two Curses) ~~ How can a person lead you back to the light when they are as blind as you?Complete

The world undersea, however, differs vastly from that above and when Maribel meets Pan, she'll begin to understand why. He's downright naughty, vindictive, yet charming in his own way. She's ambitious, curious, and has been waiting for an adventure that Pan just might be able to offer her. ***Inspired by some Neverland/Peter Pan storylines & concepts from OUAT*** *Some mature themes/sex scenes, but hardly makes up the story as a whole*Complete
