Beauty and the Beast
This is a clean romance. All I wanted from tonight was to sneak out of the ball to read in the castle's grand library and suddenly the prince is guiding me to safety even though he's the one they're after. In the morning we find out that the Light of the Realms was stolen and the castle is on lock down. All the guests from the ball must be tested to see who committed the crime and to top it off the Light of the Realms was what kept this kingdom safe and without it armies are moving in. Will we find the Light of the Realms before it is to late? Will the prince be ready to lead this kingdom into war if he has to? This is a sweet middle grade/ young adult romance. It is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Warning: This is a rough draft! So there will be spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. There are probably parts in the story that don't make sense, need to be changed, or characters that are acting out of character.Complete
Ugly: A Faerie Tale Retold
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.Complete
The Mirror Perception
Snow White is pure, Red Riding Hood is innocent, Cinderella is the victim. We all know this. But that is where we are all wrong. Even through stories, these people have twisted our beliefs to think them sweet and incapable of wrong. Now the truth is revealed. Snow White's seductress ways are known, the murderess Red Riding Hood is shown to the world and the scheming of Cinderella to claim a throne is no longer hidden. See these old tales for the secrets long concealed by charmed storytellers. Realise how lovable your childhood playmates are when all lost knowledge is laid bare. This is a collection of my take on old faerytales where the role of villain and hero or heroine is switched. If anyone has a request I can do that, too, or any specific stories, songs or movies anyone wants me to change the perception of. These stories can be read in any order and are complete unto themselves.Complete
