Did you know that the reason that Maleficent curses Sleeping Beauty is for love? Or that the genie from Aladdin was a mass murderer? Or that the Big Bad Wolf wasn't so big or bad?
There are some interesting things you never knew or even thought to ask about your favorite(or least favorite) characters.
Well, since you didn't think of it, it's a good thing I did. And here's the answer to all your fairy tale needs (Or at least some of them. Hopefully at least a few. Maybe not any. But you should read it anyway, because who knows? You might have a question that you never realized you had.)
A volume containing the true events of the following fairy tales- Sleeping Beauty, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and the Princess and the Pea.
These are chronicles of the true events that happened before the stories were created. Before a once upon time.

Note- My NaNoWriMo for 2012. Story is completed  and fully edited! I'm so happy. *Tear*

**THE FIRST BOOK** Once upon a time... That is how many stories begin. However, this is a different kind of tale. It is not a story of a princess rescued by a prince. This is his story. The story of Hate... This lovely land has been ravaged by a cruel demon, and its people now live under the shadow of tyranny. There is no one who can defeat him, no one for him to fear. Except for her... But it was not always this way. There was a time of prosperity and peace. The joy that once filled this land may never return. Those days are now merely memories. All that remains is hope. Hope that a chosen one will rise and liberate them from this evil. However, he is aware of her destiny. He seeks what was taken from him... He desires her... Hate will not rest until she is deatg. The day will come when she must decide how she will live. Will she flee or become a hero? For she alone holds the power to save everyone. She knows the story is true. If she does not survive, the beast will kill everyone. She must be brave. He will find her, especially there where she does not want to be found. One reckless decision could result in catastrophic consequences. The fate of the entire realm rests upon her shoulders. Unforeseen events, mythical creatures, magic, epic battles, tragic demises, fairy tale romance, and a perilous journey. Will he find her... or will she be able to save us before it is too late?

Aurora Beauchanan is many things, and apparently being a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is about to be added to that list. With quite a few secrets that are better left untold, and befriending not only Harry, but the Weasley's and their friends as well, her whole life is about to be turned upside down, even more so when she meets the enigmatic Potions Professor, Severus Snape...And as Severus tries to unravel the mysterious personality of the young witch that seems unphased by his ill tempered and harsh disposition, he can't help but be curious about the unabashed and defiant Gryffindor who seems to present more trouble than she is worth. With a spirited character and an attitude to match, Aurora finds that blending in and keeping a low profile don't exactly make for an easy life, especially with the Triwizard Tournament around the corner. When nothing is as it seems, how is she supposed to distinguish between what's real and what isn't? Say....feelings about a certain potions professor that she can't seem to stay away from? As the secrets and mysteries pile up around her while her past threatens to expose itself, Aurora will have to overcome insurmountable odds and decide who she can trust as her life hangs in the balance. After all, sometimes things aren't about doing the right thing, but doing what needs to be done. This story takes place during the events of The Goblet of Fire. Soulmate AU with a bit of a twist, since happy endings don't necessarily last forever. Note: This is a rough draft, and the first round of editing changed the POV from first to third person. It's still being edited, so a second draft should take care of any remaining grammatical errors and the like. Thank you for sticking with this story, and I hope you enjoy it!

What if Cinderella were a mechanic? What if Snow-White were ugly? What if Rapunzel ran away on her own and became a magician? What if The Little Mermaid were originally human? This book contains a collection of twisted fairytales. So twisted are they that they almost reverse the original telling. No more waiting for Prince Charming! No sir, these princesses take their fates into their sensible and capable hands. Enjoy! ~ Nylara Note: The plot ideas are mine but some of the fairytales are loosely based on ones I've read but have not been entirely satisfied by or just wanted to revisit. Mechanica is based on the book "Mechanica", Blanche on "Mirror Mirror" the movie, Rebbecca is mine, Sapphire is based on the Ingo Series by Helen Dunmore and Freya is loosely based on "The Woodcutter's Daughter" and "East of Sun, West of Moon". Hope you enjoy!!! Cover by: @Paintfairy Previous Cover by: @mahana258 DISCLAIMER: I wrote this a long time ago so I cannot vouch for the quality of writing though I would venture to say it is much better than average Wattpad content. I am currently working on rewriting the stories so that they are better quality. This was previously posted under a different profile but because it slightly older writing, I've decided to not link it with my main account. *sigh* There goes my 1.53K reads and 1K votes :(
