In every fairy tail there is a tormented, and breathtakingly beautiful princess who's parents have passed away. There is an evil stepmother who does everything in her power to make the life of the poor princess miserable. And, last but certainly not least, the famous Prince Charming who comes ridding in on his valiant steed to save the princess from her horrible life. Then the two fall in love, get married, have a houseful of beautiful children and live happily ever after, and we never hear about the evil stepmother ever again, right?
Wrong.
What happens to the "evil" stepmother? She sure as hell doesn't get her prince charming now does she? Let me ask you something; have you ever stopped and asked yourself why she was so bitter and evil in the first place? Have you ever thought that maybe there was a teensy, tiny chance that she used to be nice? And what if the whole story was told in a way that just made her look like the evil witch? What if she was, in fact, a nice person but no one ever took the time to hear her out? You see, in life, there is always more than just one side to a story, and I am here to tell you mine.
Oh, but where are my manners! My name is Maylis Grimhilde, though you probably know me better as the Evil Queen, Snow White's stepmother, and I will try my best to make you see that I am not as evil as Snow White made me out to be.
Here goes nothing...

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.

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.

Levi awakes to find himself in a hospital bed after being in a coma for two weeks in a small town called Riverton with no memories of who he is. With the help of a newfound friend, Levi struggles to regain his memories of his life before the hospital, and as he retraces his steps, he runs into a familiar girl named Elyssa. For some unexplained reason, he feels drawn to her, but is shocked when she starts blabbering about how most of the people from the town were actually characters in a storybook under a sleeping curse. That's not even the crazy part. She couldn't expect him to believe that he, an orphan of all people, was supposed to be some prince destined to break the curse. That he was meant to save this mystical kingdom from Snow White and the Dragon Rokoda. He wasn't some prince, and he most certainly was no dragon slayer. But when he does come to remember his life in Riverton...will it be correct? Or just another trick invented by the curse? In a world called Meadowpeak, the Dragon King is presumed dead, left this world behind years ago and abandoned his people to suffer under the hands of Snow White's ancestors.

Forget the plot, let's become a Runaway Witch!
Isn't it said that you should give away what you don't use? After losing my life, I became the Villainess in a novel I didn't even finish. That was alright; I had asked for this second chance, after all. Even if I didn't think my desperate pleas were going to be answered like this, I would not waste this chance. Living with my family was comfortable, but my ambitions were big. Still, the first thing to do was to evade the death flags. For that, I have to evade the Crown Prince at all costs. As a commoner, if he sees me and takes me as a concubine like in the original, it will be very troublesome. But what is this!? Didn't my parents tell you I was sick? Go away and enjoy the festival, and leave me alone! We don't know each other! If he is so insistent on taking me with him, then there is no other choice: I will run away from home! Mother, father, Lanto...I'm sorry. I hope your heads don't roll because of this. I sincerely enjoyed our time together. I learnt a lot from my father. Maybe becoming a wandering witch is not so bad... ... Isn't this how reincarnation stories usually go? With an obsessed male lead who suddenly shows interest in the reincarnated protagonist? But I'm completely honest when I say I will never marry or fall in love with this dude. And no, it's not just the usual 'protagonist who will later be proved wrong' talk. I will not let this become a cliche, damn it!
