Cinderella by XDhelloXD

You know the story. You have heard it a million times, but there is so much more that happens between the Ball and 'Happily Ever After' than people seem to realize. What happens when two people fall in love even though everything seems to work against them? Sometimes not even magic is powerful enough.

Fat Cinderella by _Gasoline12_

A wicked stepmother, Two jealous step sisters who are jealous of the oh-so-Amazing Cinderella and a hot prince dude who falls for her. Isn't that how the story goes? I related myself to the perfection called Cinderella when my Dad got married to the witch Margaret, when she brought in her evil daughters to our house, when my dad left for business trips and forgot he had a daughter. So, I grew up listening to the same old story of Cinderella and its many versions. All of these versions had one thing in common. She was drop dead gorgeous. I was not. Chances of an XXL Princess to meet her prince charming are almost Nil. But As the story goes, All It takes is one night. Just one single night that could destroy your fairytale. Hey, I am the fat Cinderella and this is my story of not finding my prince charming but myself.

Not Your Princess by badboybooktrope

Loosely inspired by the fairy tale of Cinderella, Not Your Princess plays on the scenario where neither the prince nor the future princess attends the ball. Aschleigh Baker did not have a fairy godmother to rescue her when she was prohibited from attending the prince's engagement ball. No one was there to wave a magic wand and right all of the wrongs done unto her. Instead, she ended up going to the town's tavern to miserably celebrate her last night of freedom before she is forced into marrying her family's blackmailer, who knows about her secret imperviousness to fire. Prince Augustus never wanted to be forced into an arranged marriage with a stranger. Thus, on the night of his engagement ball, he finds himself visiting the nearest town's tavern to live one more day of freedom. There, he meets Asch and finds himself enchanted by her from the moment they first meet. Neither one of them was aware that missing the ball would lead to an accidental, irreversible marriage. Nor could they expect a person calling themselves the Priestess to set their sights on the new princess, intending to kill her for sins Asch is not aware of. As secrets are revealed and characters called into question, the accidental couple must learn to navigate the world with one another or risk losing more than memories of their wedding.
