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! :)

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
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.

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!!

Fairytales are real
What if I told you that every fairy tale you grew up with actually happened-but not the way Disney showed you? What if Cinderella didn't find her prince charming, but was selected by a dying king as a disposable bride for his murderous son? What if those glass slippers weren't a gift of magic, but instruments of control-beautiful prisons that bound her to a monster she was too terrified to defy? What if "happily ever after" was just a lie she told to survive, a performance she gave while bleeding inside those perfect glass shoes, married to a man she didn't love but was genuinely, desperately afraid of? Would you believe me? This collection tears away the sanitized veneer of classic fairy tales to reveal the brutal truths beneath. Here, Beauty doesn't tame the Beast-she learns what happens when you're trapped with a monster who owns you. Snow White discovers that sometimes the dwarfs aren't saviors, and true love's kiss solves nothing. These are the real fairy tales. The ones where young women don't escape their circumstances through magic, but are destroyed by systems of power too vast to fight. Where evil doesn't lose-it rewrites history and calls itself love. Where there are no fairy godmothers, no last-minute rescues, no happily ever afters. Just the horror of beautiful lies, and the women who died believing them. Seven tales. Seven tragedies. The truth behind the magic.
Alchemist's Return To Corona
SEQUEL TO "ALCHEMIST OUT OF CORONA." After joining the gang in season 2, Varian returns to Corona. The recent events in the Dark Kingdom have left him exhausted, physically and mentally. But more challenges await our favorite alchemist... Will he discover why he has a strange connection to the Moon Stone? Can he manage to get through to Cass, or will his efforts only attract unwanted attention from an ancient evil that seems to have been pulling the strings all along? Similar to the first book, this one basically reads as a novelization of the third season, while adding my own changes and including Varian in every episode.

"Mama!" "Bébé courir!" (Baby run!) The woman screamed in French at her child to run away, the young girl looking at her mother with tears in her eyes. "Non!" (No) She screamed, her eyes widening when she watched her mother, the only family she ever knew, be stabbed through the heart with a sword. The man who did it took the sword out of the mother who lay dead, his evil menacing eyes looking down at the shaking girl as she slowly backed away. "Vous êtes le prochain." (You're next.) -- "P-Prince Elias, I'm a monster.." ... "You create beautiful things. You, my darling, are no monster." ------------------------- After the unfortunate loss of her mother, Renee runs away to a kingdom similar to her own, running from her past.
