We've all heard of Little Red riding hood, Sleeping beauty, and Cinderella. The most famous fairy tales of all. But have you ever heard of Darling or The fairy who told a lie?
No?
That's because they are the least favorite fairy tales of all. Forgotten over the years never to be told again. Until now. You will see that not all fairy tales have happy endings.

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. Maybe you think I'm just a skeptic, a hardened old man who just doesn't see the magic anymore. Well, you'd be right on both accounts. Don't let me dampen your love of stories and how the world works. 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
The Half Blood Wolf (Lupus Antiqua Series Book #1)
Moving out of the city was not her idea. Moving to the middle of nowhere in a foreign country was definitely not her idea, and leaving everything she knows and loves behind is the farthest thing from what she wants; since living with a Father, who hates her without the support of her friends is going to royally suck. Besides the family drama, the forests of her new home are far from empty. There are men in the trees. One in particular who watches intently yet does not approach. He holds the secrets to her past, and to her future. What will Lily do when she comes to learn that some men are born beasts, and some humans are monsters?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

Tell Me Pretty Lies
From the second you're in this world they tell you what is fair. What questions your allowed to ask and the ones you can never dare say. I find it damn near funny that most of you are reading this and know exactly what I mean. They put you on the path they've paved for you as kids we don't question it or even wonder if it's right for you. But beyond your paths edges is a land made up of risks and dangers. You feared it they tell you no good will come from it but how do you really know? Truth be told I was the girl who had her whole life planned out for her, straight A's, best friend, and two loving parents. I know what I wanted what I needed and I knew how to fight like hell for it. There's a reason why everyone prefers pretty lies over the bitter truth and it's usually because they can't handle the truth but I think the most likely thing is they can't handle what happens to the person once the truth comes out that's what happened to me. I was happy the way things were and then one day everything blew up in my face. Maybe the happy girl I was would have been happy living a lie for the rest of her life but no matter what the truth always comes out. So I ask you what would you have wanted the bitter truth or the pretty lie?

The Lady of the Throne: The Twins of Iceni
INTRODUCTION Summary The story is set in an ancient world, with the kingdom of Etruscans facing threats from the expanding Roman Empire. The chapter introduces Princess Annabeth Agreste, who struggles with her royal duties and expectations. Meanwhile, Lord Hermes, a trusted ally of the King, returns with his nephew, Prince Perseus, from the tribe of Iceni, seeking the King's counsel on urgent matters. In a separate storyline, a young woman named Marinenet, possibly the sister of Prince Perseus, is introduced as the leader of a settlement in the forest. She is approached by her advisor, Alya, about a group of travelers being attacked by bandits near their settlement *Viewer discretion is advised* this is a fanfiction and as such it will be AU, and characters may appear out of character to fit the vision that I have. I only own the OC'S.
