We all know the classic story of a girl who lost her glass slipper running away from her dreams, and racing back to her sad reality of being a peasant maid for her own step-mother and step-sisters, the only family she has left. Yes, this is a story based on none other than the character of Cinderella. However...this rendition of telling the tale is quite different. This quick-read is all written in the form of haikus; a form of poetry that is written in a 5/7/5 syllable count. In this story, you learn about the lives these characters really lived behind the scenes of the happily ever after that we all know to be. You'll discover rich amounts of character development from minor characters and learn major mic-drops about the major characters. I hope you enjoy reading and visualizing the lives of various characters and what they may have been thinking throughout this story! I give you...The Story Behind the Slipper... :)
____________________________
*I did not create or invent this princess who we all know and love and who has been around for generations.
*I merely wanted to write a rendition of this story in the form of haikus only and I wanted to portray this amazing story in different perspectives of different characters.
*Thank you for understanding and I hope whoever reads this enjoys it to the fullest! :)

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!!

Another Broken Smile
"And maybe it is just too late for you to come around, looking for the girl with the glass slipper..." The last year of high school before Ellie gets to finally leave everything behind her and chase her dreams. Her evil stepmom, stupid school, fake friends and most of all her deceiving prince charming whom she might have never fallen out of love from. She crosses her heart, and promises to never be swept off her feet again, she has had enough of people believing that she has a fairytale life with her happily ever after already written. But she might be in for a ride, when her past crashes onto her and the monsters that she had buried six feet deep within start to chase her again. A wilting relationship, a new found friendship, old addictions and false dedications might just finally crown her as a princess from an overused fairytale. And even if it breaks her heart, she might just push her prince too hard when he finally knocks on her door wearing his best apology for arriving just after the clock has struck midnight. Highest Ranking... 314 in teen fiction on 24/07/16 Loosely based on the fairytale 'Cinderella' that has ruled our hearts since 1950's 🖤 Image Credit to Paul Apal'kinComplete

"Seers are so old yet so lost in your history. Where as beings like me are put in children books as warnings." he chuckles, "The closes I could compare to your kind would be Time Kitsune's. You see what is to come yet," he looks over his shoulder to her, "you never saw me coming." A chill goes down the womans spine, his eyes held no spark of her brother. "Let my brother go." she tells him as he looks back at the window. "Where you are Time, I am Void. You grow as you protect your pack, yet I grow from pain, chaos, and strife from all. Your brother accepted this." he taunts her. She shakes her head, "No. No, he wouldn't give into you. He is stronger then that." "He gave in and accepted this Charlie." he tells her once more. Her anger got the best of her, walking over to him, grabbing his arm and forcing him to face her. "He wouldn't, you're trying to trick me!" An unsettling smile comes across his face, "The best trick is the truth. He accepted me, in the end, to protect you." ________________________ ~You still would've been mine We would've been timeless~ -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Or in which a Stilinski girl in love with a Hale boy has to save her family from old evils while worrying over their future. __________________________ -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Charlotte Stilinski (OC) x Derek Hale ------------------------- S3B- Written, Lightly Edited, Complete S4- Written, Lightly Edited, Complete Pubished: Aug. 13, 2025 Completed: Sept. 23, 2026* ------------------------- I do NOT own Teen Wolf, I only own Charlotte Stilinski and whatever I have her do.

Alchemist Out Of Corona
We all know what happened to Varian in the first season of "Tangled: The Series." He became the villain, was defeated by Rapunzel, and thrown into prison for a whole year. Yes, he redeemed himself and returned for the third season, but the lack of his presence was felt by fans everywhere throughout the entire second season of the show. So what would have happened if he had redeemed himself sooner and been there for the gang's life-changing journey throughout the second season? How would he have reacted to all those adventures he missed? Find out in this AU fanfic! You will see how he deals with his still-suspicious friends, his unrequited crush on Cassandra, and his search for a way to free his father. "Next stop, anywhere!" (Note: All rights go to Disney. This fanfic basically reads like a novelization of the second season, while also adding artwork and my own original Varian content.)Complete
Twisted Disney
To begin my story, I will tell you that I DO NOT own Disney, Disney Pixar, or any of the Disney Characters in this story. Now that that is out of the way, you should know that this story is not based on the pictures from DeviantArt where they all become zombies. Well, if it isn't about the zombie pictures, what is it about you may ask. This is about what would happen if one event from the Disney movie didn't happen. This story is about what would happen if Cinderella didn't get to try on the glass slipper or if Gaston had defeated the beast. I will warn you that this story might make you kind of emotional if you have a serious connection with some of the characters. While writing this, I teared up a little over what I was writing. A few chapters might also get a little mature. There shouldn't be anything sexual, but there are a few chapters involving death and suicide... You have been warned!Complete
