We all know the story of Cinderella. A young woman rescued from servitude after capturing the heart of a young prince with the help of her Fairy God Mother who had transformed her into a potential princess.
What if the story was a little different?
What if Cinderella was a young man who was struggling to keep himself and his family alive? What if the prince was a lonely and naive young man waiting to celebrate his birthday? What if the Fairy God Mother was a cold-hearted man with money and a plot to remove the prince from the royal line? What if this "Fairy God Mother" gives our "Cinderella" a week to take the life of the prince in exchange for a comfortable life for his family?
This is a retelling of the traditional Cinderella story where our "Cinderella" is given until midnight of the prince's birthday to snuff out his light forever.

The Tragic Tale of Cinderella
All fairy tales are supposed to end happily ever after, no? What if they were just lies? The truths behind those tales could be as black as the night for all you know.

But for those of you who seek the truth and want to know more, I invite you to listen to my tale. For I was there when that awful woman Lady Tremaine took control of my former lord's manor. I saw the depths of evil that lived inside her. And most importantly, I saw the girl you call Cinderella change from beloved daughter to fierce warrior. Before there was princes and love, there was heartbreak and war. My name's John and I was just a stable boy, but I was there and was able to chronicle The Tragic Tale of Cinderella.Complete

Twisted
"I think I'm gay." I say, leaving out the part about my... exposing dream about him last night. I watched his expression, waiting for some sign that he was angry. I waited for him to call me a faggot, to curse me off and tell me he never wanted to see me again. Instead, I was greeted with his perfect toothy smile. "That's great man, I'm of proud you." He says, patting my arm as he stuffed another cracker in his mouth. "It takes some real balls to come out to someone." He says, his beautiful green eyes blazing into mine. I felt myself become flustered at his gaze. "Uh, Yeah, Thanks." I stumbled out, "You're not mad?" I ask. His expression turns to hurt as he crinkles his eyebrows. "Why the hell would I be mad?" He asks, hesitating on the crackers and pushing them away. "I just thought-it's just- well... you just always seem so pissed when someone mentions the word gay." I spit out words, scared for his reaction. He sighs, "That doesn't fucking mean I hate gays. Normally when I do that it's because someone's using the word 'gay' to hate on them, it just pisses me off, you know?" He asks, bringing the crackers back into his lap and biting into them. "Plus-" He adds on, "You're my best friend, if anything, you being gay is a blessing. I'll always support you." He says, glancing at me through the side of his eyes. I look away, towards the door to hide the crimson blush that I feel spread over my face. "Thanks." I all but squeak out. And that's the day I realized, I have a faint crush on my best friend. <><><><><< THIS BOOK IS BEING *MAJORLY* EDITED. THERES LOTS OF SPELLING MISTAKES AND NAME MIX UPS, SOME CHAPTERS WILL BE REWRITTEN Also, Please don't be mean to the characters, they aren't even close to perfect, but they don't deserve hate.Complete

Grimm (DISCONTINUED)
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.Complete
