Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Jack and the beanstalk, Robin Hood, and King Arthur. Their stories have been told time and time again, but what if I told you that the tales you know and love are actually different then you think. These five famously protagonists find shelter in Sherwood Forest, each of them running away from something.....or someone. Red Riding hood is hiding from a hungry beast, Cinderella wants to flee the kingdom before the prince finds her, Jack is covering up a secret about his past, Robin Hood is on the run from the sheriff, and Arthur has been usurped by a wicked king  who now rules Camelot. When these characters come together it immediately becomes a twisted tale indeed.

Towers [BOOK ONE] by lidlesaun

"Our kingdom was once beautiful, but now the towers are everywhere. They say that Queen Rapunzel has lost her mind--and I believe them. Before, I might have felt sorry for her, but now I just fear her. I fear the sound of her soldiers pounding at the door, demanding that I be taken away. I fear the towers." Years after the original tale of Rapunzel took place, the kingdom--left to the grief-stricken Queen after her husband's death--is falling apart. People live in constant fear of the many terrible towers across the land, built by her Majesty's decree to imprison any who dare question her. Bird's nothing but a girl from the north, but when someone she cares about is taken by the mad Queen's soldiers, she'll stop at nothing to save them. With nothing but her friends, a sled, and a mind full of songs, she sets out to get rid of the towers, once and for all. DISCLAIMER: this is a retelling of the *ORIGINAL FAIRY TALE* by the Brothers Grimm and has no connection to Disney's version whatsoever. DISCLAIMER PART II: I wrote this book when I was 15 and am still in the middle of huge revisions that I haven't posted here yet! Please feel free to read, but keep in mind this is a work in progress. :)

4 Princes by Dani_Kail

Once upon a time, there were four princes. They did not ride on pristine white horses but on black beasts stained with blood. They were infamous for cunning skills and haunting eyes. A part of their own stories, Rapunzel, Cinderella, Red Riding Hood, and Belle all struggle with their own demons, as their stories are not as sweet as they were once told. Their true stories are filled with deadly princes and poisons not always put in apples. Even though there were four darkly trained assassin princes and four women with twisted tales, the blood of the fallen kingdom only stains one pair of hands.

Red Hood by Skyglider

So she takes up the identity of Red Hood to prove that women can be just as good as men. Her luck picks up when the prince requests her help for a mission to save the king. When the king of Isalgia falls mysteriousely ill, his only son, Prince Isaac, takes it upon himself to find the cure which lies in the Enchanted Forest. He takes four of his most trusted knights with him - including Red Hood - and the five of them must brave deadly creatures and a ruthless enemy that will do anything to make sure they do not succeed.

You Don't Want the Crown by kullman

Betrayal. Revenge. Murder. True Love. Knights. Princesses. Druids. Pirates. Madness. Gays. Magic. Intrigue. What more could you want from this darkly funny take on faerie tales? The old king is murdered. The crown prince is missing. Who in this diverse cast of characters is to blame? Is it the king's reluctant but dutiful wife? Is it the spiteful old queen? Is it the king's illegitimate son? What about the king's suspiciously loyal man-at-arms? Read and find out. Plenty of swashbuckling, magic, sarcasm, and plot twists await in the mythical land of Ulster. Trigger/Content warning: Violence, but primarily fantasy violence. Profanity throughout. Some brief crude humor. Some conversations and circumstances may be emotionally upsetting, primarily to do with parental abuse, as well as dysphoria. A character is stated to be suicidal, suicide is discussed. A character describes post-partum depression.
