Most fairytales don't get a happy ending. Life doesn't, why should stories? Movies and companies like Disney have given unrealistic expectations, made us believe in happily ever after. In this story, I will provide an alternative to the classic story of Cinderella. She went to the ball, only she didn't lose her shoe. She got away and the Prince had nothing to find her with.
I will do my best to post once a week until it is finished - but I am a very busy student so know I'm trying. Be sure to hit that star button and leave a comment to let me know how you like it! Feel free to make suggestions!

Halfworld (ONCs 2025)
"From a deck of cards, pick one. But what will it reveal about your fate?" (Prompt #93, ONCs 2025) What if Cinderella didn't go to the ball because she wanted to, but because she was hired to? What if she was hired to bring a kingdom to its knees? What if fairytales didn't end happily, and the princess and the prince didn't live happily ever after? Nesta Rennell knows all too well that "happily ever after" is a myth. But when she's offered the deal of a lifetime to infiltrate a royal ball and seduce not one but two princes in a bid to turn them against each other and prove that they're unfit to rule, she has to convince her targets that fairytales are real and that dreams do come true. But there are far greater forces at play than Nesta knows. War is looming on the horizon, and someone is pulling the strings. Besides, like every good thief and con artist knows, nothing ever goes according to plan, and nothing is ever as it seems.Complete
Sinful Cinderella (Dark Fairy Tale Queens - Book 1)
I'm not who they think I am. A docile girl who meekly obeys her stepmother and stepsisters. Some kind of sick angel who cheerfully bears their mistreatment. That's what I WANT them to think. Because then they won't suspect what I'm really up to. The ball, the prince - it's all part of my plan to come out on top. Stepmother and her demented daughters will pay for every floor I have scoured, every sneer I have borne. They don't know about the white magic, how I use it to enhance myself. They can't see that my heart is black as midnight, rotten as a poisoned apple. They're about to find out.Complete
Cinderella After Midnight
Once upon a time, Cinderella tried the shoe on, it fitted perfectly. So she married the Prince and they lived happily ever after? Bullshit. The truth was... As soon as they entered the bedroom, the Prince slammed Cinderella against the wall roughly, leaning closer and whispered into her ear. "Didn't I say I'll catch you, Cinderella, or do you prefer Amelia?" Amelia shivered under the Prince's words. His voice sounded as cold as ice and at that second, she asked herself whether it wasn't a mistake to show up at the ball? Yet, what else could she do? There hadn't been another choice. Pushing the prince away from her with all her strength, she replied. "If you think you won, you're wrong. This is just the beginning." This story is anything but a classic Fairy Tale. Nothing is what it seems. What if there was more behind this bedtime story?

The Next Cinderella
Cinderella has found her prince and the Enchanted Kingdom is flourishing, but in a land far, far away...there's another kingdom that's seriously missing the glamour. Here in the Enraptured Kingdom, peasants starve, the royals waste every coin on themselves, and somewhere deep in the village, Myrielle's rage against the kingdom grows, as she tries to support her family amidst all the greed. When all seems lost, Fairy Godmother visits with an offer to sponsor a search for the next Cinderella, which will help the kingdom escape its bankruptcy woes. What a relief! Except...if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Despite the warning bells, Myrielle signs up to the Bachelor-like contest to find the next Cinderella. She'll ready, she's focused, and she'll jump through every hoop the contest entails if there's a chance to help her struggling family. As for love....it's the last thing on her mind! She's made of stone! Haha! In other words...yes, will definitely fall in love (sigh), but what will she do when the love goes against every aspect of her contest-winning plan? Can happy endings exist when damsels don't need saving?Complete
La Magie est Perdue à Minuit
(The Magic is Lost at Midnight) *COMPLETE!!!!!!!* This is a first attempt at writing a MLB fanfic! After watching the movie A Cinderella Story: Once Upon a Song, I was overwhelmed by the parallels in Miraculous Ladybug and Cinderella. Plus, the characters' appearances and personalities were so similar to the show! It was driving me crazy, so I had to write something off of it. This is based off of Tumblr @ssa-alexandria's theory/story idea of a Cinderella/Miraculous parallel. (Thank you so much for this!) Tell me your thoughts, how you felt about the story, feelings or questions, and things that can be improved! I appreciate all feedback. :)Complete

My Red Princess (Steven Universe Cinderella AU Rubapphire) Book One
"This is...amazing. I stop breathing when I read it (literally). It's fantastic." -strictly_su_fans The story of Cinderella has been a fan-favorite ever since March 4, 1950 when the Walt Disney movie premiered across the United States. There are TONS of remakes. The theme is worn. But throw some smol gay rocks into the mix and it gets a little interesting. Meet Ruby, the Cinderella. She's fairly optimistic about life despite the fact she's a slave to her stepfather and his sons. Meet Sapphire, the Prince Charming. Despite the queen's attempts to find her a husband, nothing works for some reason *cough* GAY *cough*. The two never would've met if it hadn't been for a twist of fate- a ball held by the queen for unmarried youth of the kingdom to try to find a mate, but the real intention is to find a suitable husband for Sapphire. But a dark secret is uncovered during the event, and the REAL drama doesn't start until after the ball. Started: 8/5/15 Finished: 10/23/15 Words : 20519Complete
Let This Dream End Tonight
So you think you know the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears? You think you know the story of Beauty and the Beast and how Belle came to love her kidnapper, Prince Adam? You think you could recite the story of The Little Mermaid to me? Think again. All of these stories are just made up, falsely written, and made for happy endings. The girl changes the guy using the power of true love, the girl gets to have legs and walk around, and the girl gets to live and wasn't eaten or followed by three giant grizzly bears walking on two legs. Let me tell you the REAL stories of our most beloved fairy tale females. I will be starting a sequel called Welcome Back to Wonderland soon so keep an eye out for that. Please read Welcome to Wonderland before you read Welcome Back to Wonderland. This book is completed, but it is not edited. I don't plan to ever edit this version on Wattpad, though I do plan to edit and revise it quite a few times before publishing it as possibly an ebook on Kindle or Nook. So if you enjoy this version keep an eye out for that. The edited version will have quite a few changes and some of the questionable content will be changed, so you don't have to worry about that.Complete
