Marinette as Rapunzel
Marinette is the title character of Rapunzel in this story but instead of being trapped in just a tower, it is an entire manor surrounded by a magical curtain to keep it hidden from view. She has been trapped there her entire life by Lila until a chance encounter with the outside world makes her want more. And she sets out to discover why she was raised by Lila(Lila is the Mother Gothel of the story). I have seen other Rapunzel stories done for Marinette where it is the version from the Disney movie Tangled but I decided to write this story from the Barbie as Rapunzel Movie. I also made Marinette the daughter of Felix and Bridgette who were the precursors to Marinette and Adrien for Ladybug and Chat Noir in Miraculous Ladybug. The original story had Bridgette as Ladybug and infatuated with Felix but they decided to scrap these two in favor of Marinette and Adrien.Complete

Towers [BOOK ONE]
"Our kingdom was once beautiful, but now the towers are everywhere. They say that Queen Rapunzel has lost her mind--and I believe them. Before, I might have felt sorry for her, but now I just fear her. I fear the sound of her soldiers pounding at the door, demanding that I be taken away. I fear the towers." Years after the original tale of Rapunzel took place, the kingdom--left to the grief-stricken Queen after her husband's death--is falling apart. People live in constant fear of the many terrible towers across the land, built by her Majesty's decree to imprison any who dare question her. Bird's nothing but a girl from the north, but when someone she cares about is taken by the mad Queen's soldiers, she'll stop at nothing to save them. With nothing but her friends, a sled, and a mind full of songs, she sets out to get rid of the towers, once and for all. DISCLAIMER: this is a retelling of the *ORIGINAL FAIRY TALE* by the Brothers Grimm and has no connection to Disney's version whatsoever. DISCLAIMER PART II: I wrote this book when I was 15 and am still in the middle of huge revisions that I haven't posted here yet! Please feel free to read, but keep in mind this is a work in progress. :)Complete

But her love's eyes are set on another, leaving Rapunzel no other choice but murder. And then there's Vanessa, a small-town girl from a kingdom free of magic. She only wants to find her missing grandmother, but she left nothing except a cryptic note on a strange map. Their journey through Ailthe reveals long-forgotten secrets, and all the while, Vanessa's grandmother waits with her own secrets. After ten years, the world is begging for another change. It's time to finish what she started.Complete
Twisted: A Rapunzel Story
Just about everyone knows the classic German folktale (told in their different and respective languages) Rapunzel. Disney has even made a movie on Rapunzel called Tangled. Well, I'm going to put a gory spin on it, along with the baddies being good and vice versa. Warning: This story will not be for the weak-hearted. If you cannot stomach blood or wound descriptions, don't read this.Complete
