Malinda is a kind, trusting and slightly misguided girl. She is also a Fairy Godmother in training. One day she meets Sara, a girl with a turbulent past and ambitions for the future. Moved by her need to help others, Malinda appoints herself as Sara's unofficial fairy godmother. Together they forge a friendship and begin to plan a future where Malinda is the Head fairy godmother and Sara is a grand lady. But what happens when Malinda finds out that her best friend in the world lied?
This is a prequel to Cinderella that focuses on the fairy godmother and her once best friend: Cinderella's stepmother. As a child, I always questioned why Cinderella's FG waited until possibly the last minute to swoop in and help her out. Naturally my mind wandered and explored the possibilities of a world where the FG and her stepmother were not only friends but were both partly responsible for the circumstances leading to the death of Cinderella's mother and all that follows after.

Once Upon An Us (Kylia story)
They were everything to each other - until five years of silence turned them into strangers. Kylie was the loud one. Confident, bold, always the center of attention - the kind of girl who didn't just light up a room, she owned it. Malia was the rule-follower. Straight-A student, student council darling, a walking checklist with perfect grades and perfect posture. They grew up side by side. Two halves of a whole.

They've been assigned to plan prom together. Just their luck. Worse: it's a full-blown Disney-themed prom, glitter and drama included. They can't stand each other. They don't trust each other. And yet... The more time they spend together, the more the past creeps in. The glances. The tension. The memories. The what-ifs. Because maybe, just maybe... Their friendship was never just friendship. And maybe first love is the kind you didn't see coming - until it's standing right in front of you with a clipboard, a prom playlist, and a broken heart.Complete

Eventually (kylia)
Kylie's always been the kind of girl who falls too fast and feels too deeply, though ever since a brutal breakup left her traumatized, she's never been the same. Before the breakup, she was all in, a hopeless romantic, loyal to a fault, and crazy in love. She gave everything to someone who promised forever, only to be betrayed. It felt like being kissed on the forehead while a knife was sliding between her ribs. Tender, calculated, and devastatingly personal. The pain wasn't just emotional; it was identity-shattering. This new Kylie's known for two things: wild nights and a heart locked behind sarcasm and tequila. Feelings? Overrated. But everything changes the night her best friend throws a college party and she meets Malia. Malia's a quiet, soft-spoken, clever girl with curly brown hair and eyes that seem to ask all the right questions. That night, they hit it off right away. Maybe it was their chemistry, or maybe it was just the tequila. Though the day after the party goes a bit differently. Kylie does what she always does: flirts, charms, and makes her move. But Malia isn't like the others. She turns Kylie down, gently but firmly, explaining she's not interested in meaningless flings. She wants something real. And the for first time in years, Kylie finds herself wanting to slow down, to dig deeper, and maybe, revert to the old, lover-girl version of herself, or possibly, be the kind of person someone like Malia could fall for. Little does she know, love really does make you crazy. TW: mature language, alcohol, substance abuse, murder, and some other sensitive subjects.Complete

Everyone around them can see it. The tension. The spark. The way friendship is turning into something that could change everything. It's a story of stage lights and hotel rooms, jealousy and stolen glances, laughter that hides fear, and a slow burn that refuses to fade. 🌙 Best friends. Almost lovers. A tour that will test every boundary. Because sometimes, the most dangerous chemistry is the one that feels inevitable.Complete
