When we were younger, we all learned about Cinderella, Snow White, The Sleeping Beauty, and many more. These stories were considered beautiful and romantic, and a lot of us idolised these princesses as children.
But if you think about it with a clear head, a lot of these stories aren't all that great:
Is it so romantic to wake up and find a random man kissing you without your consent?
Is it so romantic to drop a shoe by accident and be stalked for months by a man who knows barely anything about you?

Not to mention the fact that not all princesses love princes. Some love princesses, some love nonbinary royals, some love more than one person, and some don't romantically love anyone at all.

This book reflects on such stories, and much more. Each chapter will be from a different fairytale princess's perspective, telling their story, and what happened after ever after.
The idea of this book is to normalise certain things, like LGBTQIAP+ and independent women.
I might even be including some chapters from the perspective of characters from current fandoms, like Harry Potter and The Hunger Games.

Anonymous Story by anonymouswriter1200

I wrote this when I was drunk. The extent to which I was inebriated shall henceforth not be discussed. As an essential disclaimer, I do not own any of the characters, brands, places, or things discussed in this story. Of course, hopefully you already knew that one cannot own a human for a human is already owned by themselves. Although, if Marthe Woertman, Harry Styles, or Shrek do not own themselves I am entirely willing to campaign for their freedom. I am also deeply sorry to the above should they ever come across this literary masterpiece. Which would be tragic. A complete and utter disaster. Anyways this is a story about love of the not at all heterosexual variety. While there are disturbing mentions of previous heterosexuality it is not discussed at length or in detail. Also if you came to this story seeking Harry Styles or Shrek, while they are both key characters, it is mostly about Marthe Woertman and an entirely fictional girl who is simply pining for a hot, tall, dutch, Leo. I also wouldn't read this if you have any standards at all. I warn you, it is Hallmark Christmas Movie/Wattpad Fanfic crossover and simply should not exist. It is not rated mature because it does not have...y'know...the canoodling? the hickory dickory dock? the secret touchy thing? in it because it does not. I rated it that way because I did not, and I shall repeat, I did not proof read this at all. Also I don't really know anything about Marthe Woertman. Or Amsterdam. This will be wildly inaccurate in every respect. I just got crunk, was watching tiktoks, and I decided that I really like the woman's cheek bones and accent and astrological sign so the next time I got crunk I wrote an entire novel. Also Harry Styles and Shrek are both villains. Sorry.

Shadow in Glass by JenniferStevens192

Every little girl dreams of waking up a Princess... ...the reality, Carrie finds out, isn't exactly a fairy tale. Carrie Whitmore, aspiring journalist, wakes up after a building collapse to find herself in a world where she is a spoiled, bratty princess engaged to a self-indulgent egomaniac. She has no college education and no friends at all. Carrie finds out that "she" wants nothing to do with the crown after the death of her brother and is happy being bitter, cruel and reclusive. But that's the old Princess Barbara, lost in the tragic accident that slipped Carrie into the Princess's life. Carrie must change the way the people of the Nation perceive her. Her journey to learn who she is in this new world and to deal with the twists and turns of her unwillingly adopted life will change her perception of everything and everyone around her. And maybe, just maybe, she'll get the fairy tale princess ending every little girl dreams of. **This is not a typical fantasy! This is an alternative history fantasy!**

*Discontinued* No Longer by bunkerstalker

DISCONTINUED Harry wasn't what anybody expected. Well, that's not exactly true, in fact he acted exactly as expected in front of them. He'd been left with the Dursleys, and had spent nine long years basically as their slave, not even knowing his name. See, Evan had been the Boy Who Lived, supposedly having defeated Voldemort as a baby, and it would have been wrong to send the Potter's other son into an environment where jealousy would foster, after all, he was just so ordinary. . . So ordinary that no one knew he owned the club Nighthowlers and Orchids or that he had enough power to single-handedly bring about the end of the world as they knew it. No one even knew what he looked like, not truly. Many characters are property of J K Rowling, some story elements are kinda based off of some trends, but it was written by me. There will be some very triggering content, please do not report. Also, I know I suck at writing descriptions, so please don't kill me. This moves at kind of a slow pace and has a lot of details, the sexual interactions, will not happen for quite a while and are not the main point of the story. (ships, however, will come into play at chapter thirty)(sexual interactions only after Harry is 15 or 16) Word count 1-90 is over 190,000, roughly 2,000 words per chapter DISCONTINUED

Grimm (DISCONTINUED) by CharmingSucks

DISCONTINUED Basically just a fairytale retelling of Snow White, Rose Red, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and some other stories. I might mix in some folklore/mythology characters as well, but idk. Also there isn't much romance. And Prince Charming is the villain. I'm in the midst of writing new chapters, so the updates will be slow. Tw: forced marriage, abuse (spousal), rape, rebellion, death, homophobia, misogyny, and please tell me if missed anything. These are all kinda important to the plot so if you're sensitive to them just don't read it.

Scarian one shots >:3 by martintheratdragon

Just some scarian stuff I don't ship the real life people just the characters I have dyslexia so sorry for the spelling and punctuation and typos and all the other stuff :( I will write fluff and angst but I'm aroace so no smut as I feel uncomfortable writing it. I put trigger warnings at the start of chapters. I will also be writing a small amount of flower husbands/ flower ranchers possibly but most of this is going to be scarian :3 If I write anything that is against someone's boundaries then please inform me as I did not do it on purpose I promise. This counts for you the reader as well! If I forget to put a TW then please tell me :) Cover art is by samgatinho Its mature because of topics of SH and other heavy topics

Once Upon a Time: EDITING by NylaraYtri

What if Cinderella were a mechanic? What if Snow-White were ugly? What if Rapunzel ran away on her own and became a magician? What if The Little Mermaid were originally human? This book contains a collection of twisted fairytales. So twisted are they that they almost reverse the original telling. No more waiting for Prince Charming! No sir, these princesses take their fates into their sensible and capable hands. Enjoy! ~ Nylara Note: The plot ideas are mine but some of the fairytales are loosely based on ones I've read but have not been entirely satisfied by or just wanted to revisit. Mechanica is based on the book "Mechanica", Blanche on "Mirror Mirror" the movie, Rebbecca is mine, Sapphire is based on the Ingo Series by Helen Dunmore and Freya is loosely based on "The Woodcutter's Daughter" and "East of Sun, West of Moon". Hope you enjoy!!! Cover by: @Paintfairy Previous Cover by: @mahana258 DISCLAIMER: I wrote this a long time ago so I cannot vouch for the quality of writing though I would venture to say it is much better than average Wattpad content. I am currently working on rewriting the stories so that they are better quality. This was previously posted under a different profile but because it slightly older writing, I've decided to not link it with my main account. *sigh* There goes my 1.53K reads and 1K votes :(

What would it take to say it's you by LylaMay

Helena has always been the unwanted daughter. It took her parents ten years to give birth to a male heir. Even though she's always been neglected, considered as an alliance token and made to marry whomever her father pleases, she's always believed that in a world where men got to go to school and be whatever they wanted, she could change her future and take it into her hands. After all the attention is focused on the upbringing of her brother, she takes it as an opportunity to slip out of the house and mingle into the world of men. Arthur is the heir to a long standing dukedom, his father expects a lot from him so he's given him all the freedom he asks for in exchange of doing what's asked of him. On a night out with his friends he meets William a man that he immediately recognizes as a woman in disguise. He indulges her in her lies giving her all the time in the world to come clean to him and share her secret. But what happens when she doesn't seem to want to share her secret? And what's to become of them when his father forces him into a marriage he's not ready for? *************** This is a work of fiction. It's far from being historically or culturally accurate.

The Way Love Changes You; Book One: Love's Firsts by redisle_love

Love can feel empowering. Love can be deadly. It can be the greatest thing to ever happen. It can be the biggest mistake that can't be reversed. It can feel like a dream come true. It can feel like a nightmare that you can't wake up from. Love changes people in many ways, from mild to severe, whether it's beneficial or detrimental in anybody's life, no matter if you're lesbian, gay, straight, bisexual, pansexual, or a person who just loves people without a label. How does love change you? ******* It's like your basic high school love story, except it's with adults in their early-mid 20s, and they're either still in college or have graduated from college and have jobs. It's a modern slice of life narrative novel about lesbians trying to find true love or wanting to get back into the love game. Five of these lovely characters share their own little tales of how love changes them first go, or their first time in forever! Their perspectives on love as it takes effect either get sensual, dramatic, or to the extent of a slow burn, as they also deal with life's obstacles along the way and share a part in each other's stories. There are ups and downs as their own stories go along, and it all gets more suspenseful towards the end where problems unfortunately arise. Will things get better or worse from here for these lovestruck lesbians as the story goes on? [Content/Trigger Warnings- the main warnings are scenes of sexual activity, and suicidal talk/attempt, along with mentions of said attempt. Everything else is listed inside the book! Please read the list before reading the book!] [Word count: +140,000 words...I write a lot, but enjoy anyway!]
