This is a retelling of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale Rapunzel. I wrote this story in 1995, right after college, and I'll admit it's kind of silly. Just like in Disney's excellent film "Tangled," I took the name Gothel directly from the original tale because it sounded too chilling not to use. I hope you enjoy it!

When Will My Life Begin
This is a very old tale of The Brother's Grimm, almost 200 years old, or possibly more. This tale is about a young girl who was born with very, very long hair, who was kidnapped at birth by a wicked, old hag. There are many versions of this tale, such as the King stealing lettuce from the hag's garden, and as a punishment the hag took his newborn daughter. Some involve the hag stealing the baby because of it's beauty and youth. Though many versions of this tale has been told over the years, the plot remains the same. It was about a young girl with long hair who was kidnapped at a young age by an old hag, and then confined in a tower with only one window. This version of the tale involves the hag's past. This is the tale of love, loss, and grief. And of course, a little bit of magic.Complete
Varian and the Seven Kingdoms (Varian's Seven Trials)
This is my take on the idea of a Varian spin-off series of Tangled: The Series/Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure. The AU was presented to Disney by storyboarders Kay Ritter and Anna Lencioni who took a liking to Varian's character and decided to create a story for him in his later years; detailing the adventures he might go on and the friends he makes along the way. I'll likely take a lot of inspiration from other fans too and I think that's what's great about vat7k, we all inspire each other with our ideas! :) This is probably gonna be a long one, hope you enjoy!!

Strangled
It's the tale of Rapunzel and Flynn- but not how you've been told... Years locked away does strange things to the mind, and this young princess is no exception. Manipulated and lied to by her mother all her life, the days leading up to her 18th birthday are not quite as magical as you might think. And when Ryder finds her alone in the tower, the love story he once found might never have existed at all. As for Gothel, her path leads her to meet some people you might just have heard of... NOTE: I don't own any of the images used in this story and the tale is based on characters created by Disney. This story also becomes violent in Chapter 10, please read with caution.Complete
