The story of Rapunzel is wrong. No prince saved her, no "Flynn Ryder", and there's not always a thing called " a happily ever after". I should know, people think it's more romantic to have a man save the girl. That's not correct. I should know since I was in the "Rapunzel Fairy Tale". Not the one you've probably heard, but the real version. The one that I'm going to share.

Towers [BOOK ONE]
"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!

I'm not 'Cinderella'
I'm not Cinderella I never really believed in fairy tales and love at first sight. I always looked at Cinderella as a desperate fictional creature because all logical reasons shows that: 1). You cannot meet someone for the first time and call it love at first sight (maybe infatuation might be okay). 2) You cannot run away with him the second time you meet him all because one stupid slipper fits you. Have you ever wondered why Prince Charming never divorced Cinderella because they were total strangers they didn't know themselves. Anyways my own Cinderella story as Fannie Lambert starts when I go to the mall to buy my own slipper...Complete

Wicked Game (OUAT Peter Pan Fanfiction)
!!!Undergoing Editing!!! *previously known as The Red Queen Effect* "It's strange what desires could make foolish people do. I'd never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you, And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you." ~ Wicked Game by Chris Isaak There were many times that I could remember hearing the stories about people falling in love or meeting their one true love. Stories that had allowed me to fantasize about meeting my true love, the one that fate had chosen for me. However, it seemed like it truly was never meant to be, according to my grandmother, "Love is a Queen's greatest weakness. Remember, my dear granddaughter, you are a Princess now but you will soon be a Queen who will rule with an iron fist and an empty heart." But was love truly a weakness? According to the stories that I have read and heard around the castle, love seemed to be something magical and incredible, especially if it was true love. So, how could someone determine it to be a weakness? It wasn't until I landed in Neverland that I had to find out the truth the hard way, in the most excruciating and heart-wrenching way possible. Yet, It was my fault after all, I decided to make a game out of it and someone else decided to use that to their advantage. If I was given the chance to change something from my past it would have been to prevent myself from all of the heartache that was to come. Maybe then I could have saved myself the trouble of having to rip out my own heart. But you know what they say, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." I am the daughter of the Evil Queen, the granddaughter of the former Queen of Hearts, there is no such thing as a happy ending for people like me. What a Wicked Game life plays. *Comments and votes are always welcomed. ** I do not own Once Upon A Time, only my characters Clara, Ravenna, Kingsley, and Flynn and any ideas for this story.Complete

Our perfect rainstorms
Because some people don't want to know anything AT ALL about the story before reading it, I'm just going to put this right here: [SPOILER ALERT] Have you ever met someone wonderful and amazing and you wanted to meet them so badly but you couldn't because they were two damn oceans away from you? You probably have. Well, that's what this story is about. Daniel Aalto and Charlie Mason meet through the internet and quickly become closer than a positive and negative magnet. From the moment they meet they know they need to get to see each other in person. That proves to be a bit hard since the two are separated by the Baltic and North seas as well as one, big Atlantic ocean. This fact continues to depress the two... how will they figure it out? "I'm sorry, but I'm a rainstorm. I don't want you to be caught in that". "You're my perfect rainstorm". NOTE: This story will be updated in real-time, meaning that every chapter will be published the day it was written (e.g., if a chapter title is "the 29th of July, 2016, it will be published on that date). Also yes I do realise that both of these names belong to actual real-life people you may have heard of. This was because our planet holds almost 8 billion people now, and I don't think there are any real names that DON'T belong to anyone. I promise I was not trying to steal these people's names, I was just trying to come up with character names that sounded realistic for the world. NOTE: This story contains injuries and illnesses. I have tried my best to make them as realistic as possible, even though they may not always actually be 100% accurate, as I need to change some things to fit the story better. Sorry for all you nerds who know the exact details of the injuries and illnesses I've mentioned in this book, it's probably gonna piss you off.Complete
