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!

Not Your Princess
Loosely inspired by the fairy tale of Cinderella, Not Your Princess plays on the scenario where neither the prince nor the future princess attends the ball. Aschleigh Baker did not have a fairy godmother to rescue her when she was prohibited from attending the prince's engagement ball. No one was there to wave a magic wand and right all of the wrongs done unto her. Instead, she ended up going to the town's tavern to miserably celebrate her last night of freedom before she is forced into marrying her family's blackmailer, who knows about her secret imperviousness to fire. Prince Augustus never wanted to be forced into an arranged marriage with a stranger. Thus, on the night of his engagement ball, he finds himself visiting the nearest town's tavern to live one more day of freedom. There, he meets Asch and finds himself enchanted by her from the moment they first meet. Neither one of them was aware that missing the ball would lead to an accidental, irreversible marriage. Nor could they expect a person calling themselves the Priestess to set their sights on the new princess, intending to kill her for sins Asch is not aware of. As secrets are revealed and characters called into question, the accidental couple must learn to navigate the world with one another or risk losing more than memories of their wedding.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?

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
Travel to Sockland
(*Wattpad Featured Story*) Arnie is a physics student. When he discovers once again that one of his socks has gone missing, he decides to apply his knowledge to tracking down where the lost socks end up. He soon finds himself in Sockland, a world completely apart from anything he has known. In Sockland he comes across many strange creatures and wonderful lands and even finds himself helping... Where do those socks go? (This is a first draft story and may lack a bit of polish. BUT it is fun, and, at least I think, enjoyable. So, give it a chance. As the story goes on, so does the writing get better I think.)Complete
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

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?

But there are far greater forces at play than Nesta knows. War is looming on the horizon, and someone is pulling the strings.
