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.

Blood and Thunder by KyleWilliamUrban

You've just woken in the woods, away from everything you know. You're dazed and confused, unable to comprehend what's just happened. As you are coming to, images flash before your eyes of the last few days. Your parents were taken by the police, you were forced to run, to leave everything behind, to save yourself and your sister. But she isn't here. You panic and look around, you stop. You remember. She too was taken, you are alone. For now. This is what happened to Alexander, his life has just been turned upside down. The year is 2415, the world has both evolved and devolved. It isn't how people imagined. Flying cars, robots in every house, telekinetic pencils. No, they are only in comic books. Self driving cars. No robots in houses, but workhouses instead. Telekinetic pencils... that's possible, if you are gifted with the power of telekinesis. There are dark truths hidden behind closed doors, that only few know. Truths that if they got out, would bring the downfall of the government. A government that has been deceiving people for generations. But they haven't been as careful as they thought, because 100 years ago, one guy found out their secrets. 100 years ago, one guy started the rebellion that would bring about the end. From burning books, rewriting history and breaking human rights, this government will stop at nothing to make it seem that they are doing good. But people have had enough, the secret came out before. It's only a matter of time until it happens again. This time by a group of people that no one expected. Together they work to find out the truth, but things have gotten worse over the last century and this may not only bring around the downfall of the government. Armed only the powers they were born with, the group do everything they can to discover the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But many have tried and failed, do they really stand a chance? Alexander doesn't think so, but his main concern is finding his sister, Rosia.

Olympus Drive Book 1: Everything is Fine by kullman

Recently freed members of a cult search for their missing members. Everything is not as it seems in Winfell, where six children disappeared under mysterious circumstances, only for four them to be found ten years later telling strange stories of monsters and the Underworld, with no explanation for where they've been. Or what happened to two of them. Suffice to say nothing is fine. *** Reasons to read the Olympus Drive Series 1. LGBTQ rep throughout 2. Happy endgame gays/lesbians and polyamory as well asexuality and grey aces 3. Lots of references to Greek/Roman Mythology 4. Trans, genderfluid, and non-binary characters with arcs that don't revolve around their sexuality 5. Plenty of happy/positive relationships 6. But your favorite ship WILL be a 10,000 year old space alien and an undead detective 7. All dark/heavy topics are addressed or resolved in a positive manner 8. Postive female friendships and romantic relationships, without cheating 9. Essentially any relationship structure or sexuality you can think of comes up at one point or another 10. The queen of the dead gets a sword forged from blood Trigger Warning: Some violence and creature violence. Mild peril. Fantasy violence throughout. Extensive injuries shown. Brief fantasy violence (a character is shot point blank but we know the character cannot be injured, that type of thing). Peril to child characters throughout, though it is fantasy peril. Content Warning: Profanity throughout. Sex/sexuality discussed at length, at an R rated level though little is shown. Oh and...in case the tags didn't give it away there's heavy references to Greek mythology, therefore only like one character is actually straight.

It Was Just For Fun (BoyXBoy) by CoryPines

Jayden was never meant to be a prince, but when he gets adopted by the king and queen, he has to prepare himself for the challenges ahead. Luckily, his personal knight, Kam, is there to help him out. Together, they will have to deal with mages, fight dragons, and face windigos. Follow them as they learn more about each other, and learn to look past their deferences to accomplish their goals and save the kingdom. Firstly, a huge thanks to my friend Sophia (@sopheyyis or @B1ashe) for drawing the cover. She is an amazing artist, go follow her on instagram and tik toc because she is the best. Warning: this is not for kids or people sensitive to triggers. I tend to write on the dark side, just so you know. There will be no smut, but there will be mentions of sex, abuse, abandonment, a little bit of swearing and this list could be updated as the story goes on. I usually don't write romance, but I want to get better at it, so here we go... About updates, I wish I could say I will be posting at least once a day but I know that won't be true because I'm currently editing my book that I am publishing this summer (2020) and this story is more of just a de-stressor (is that a word) so the grammar and writing, especially the tense (it will most likely flip between present and past tense, just pretend it is all the same) might not be perfect, but I just felt like writing it. I will publish at least once a week Now with that out of the way, I just wanna say, hope ya enjoy the story. Have a great day and keep being your amazing you!

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!**

Love, Taylor | TS by ireallylikekiwis

Dear Rory, I'm sorry about what I said. I'm leaving for LA in two days. Can we talk before then, please? We can just drive around as usual. I don't know how to do this if you're upset with me. Call me please. I'm staying at my parents' house. Love, Taylor *** Aurora Taylor has been living her best life for the past ten years or so. She works for Odyssey, a travel magazine based in New York City, New York, where she gets to go on dozens of trips a year to the most beautiful corners on earth to write articles about her journey. When she's not travelling, she also dabbles in fiction writing, a little secret passion of hers only few people know about. When the pressure of her two jobs gets a little too hard to manage, she decided to take a week off in a beautiful town at the beach in Northern Italy. A week full of unadulterated fun and relaxation, with unlimited glasses of chilled Prosecco and gelato cones. Or, so she thought. Her plans are completely ruined when she runs into someone she never thought she would ever see again. Not in person at least. A ghost from her past. Taylor Swift. Thirteen years and the universe decides to throw them together in a random town in Italy. Taylor does not believe that it is a coincidence. Aurora is a little reluctant to believe it. But thirteen years is a hard number for Taylor to ignore and she is adamant on making things right with the writer who finds it hard to forgive and forget all that was said and done thirteen years ago. *** This story is entirely my work of fiction. All characters and fictional places are from my own imagination except for real celebrities. The timeline is not necessarily a hundred percent accurate to Taylor's for the sake of the story and for it to make sense. I hope you enjoy it!

From day one (slytherin boys x Y/N) by _Liv_Riddle_

⚠️TW- mentions of SH, SA & SMUT⚠️ Being in slytherin is hard especially when you are part of the order. But the boys make it bearable. Especially Mattheo. This story takes place from the GOF-DH2. this is mainly based off of the films but don't you worry potterheads. Peeves is included. Flashbacks from the first day - where the story begins are used to show more of the relationship between each character and y/n. (Because of the TW it will be a slowish burn although the sexual tension between Y/N and Mattheo will be there from the beginning 😉) This book mainly includes these characters: -Y/n Dolohov = Katie Douglas -Theodore Nott = Lorenzo Zurzolo -Mattheo riddle = Benjamin Wadsworth -Tom riddle = Christian Coulson -Regulus black = Timothee Chalamet -Barty crouch Jr. = Maxence Danet-Fauvel -Evan Rosier = Hugh Laughton Scott -Blaise Zabini = Louis Cordice -Lorenzo Berkshire = Louis Partridge -Draco Malfoy = Tom Felton - Harry Potter = Daniel Radcliffe -Hermione Granger = Emma Watson -Ron Weasley = Rupert Grint -Fred and George Weasley = James and Oliver Phelps -Ginny Weasley = Bonnie Wright -Pansy Parkinson = Alice Pagani -Zachary Dolohov (my character) = Matthew Gray Gubler -with other characters you will recognise. Please enjoy ❤️❤️

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!]

Trapped by Destiny by kahleybookwell

"I closed my eyes with a sigh. I could feel the darkness around me sucking me in deeper and deeper; suffocating me. I just want to end it all. All the voices, all the fear, all the rules. I want freedom. This can't be what my life is like. I need a change. I stood up from my place on my bed to move to my balcony. I could see the entire kingdom from here. But I knew I wasn't the one in charge. For some intolerable reason, I cannot rule over the world I've known for years. I grew up in the Kingdom of Alathia. I'm the princess for gods sake. But my father believes I am unfit to be a king since I am a women. So I have to marry. All my life he has told me what to do. Him and my mother!" Princess Maria is trapped in the destiny of being queen and being forced to marry a rising king whom she hates with every fiber of her being. She was taught to be the perfect wife was to be the perfect queen. Quiet. Submissive. Loyal. Innocent. While trying to accept her future, she is faced with unholy nightmares, a test of dignity, and a double life to have even the slightest chance of freedom. Would she be able to create her own destiny? Would she eventually have the freedom she longed for? Or would a thief ruin her chances completely by striking a deal and making her face a fate worst than the destiny she was born with? Disclaimer: this story is not edited. I apologize for the grammar errors and any confusion to the plot. This is rated mature for steamy scenes, mentions of rape, and emotionally/physically abuse. However, I do own all of the elements of this book and is copyrighted. Enjoy!
