Stealing Cinderella's Crown by KitandCat

COMPLETE "Whether you believe in fairy tales or not, every girl is a princess to somebody." A modern retelling of Cinderella where the evil Stepmother is a narcissist and the entire family falls into the classic roles of a toxic family.

Blooming Rose by ZayneStillWrites

Everyone heard of the story Cinderella it's about a girl named Cinderella who only wishes to go to a ball and her whicked step-mother wouldn't allow it. Everything was looking down until she's met her fairy godmother who makes her into a princess for the night. This is that kind of story but with a bit of a twist. Fletcher is a son to a rich bard who is too busy to ever come home leaving him with his step-mother Elizabeth and her four sons Ben, Ethan, Lucas, and the eldest Tucker. She had sent him to work leaving her sons utterly lazy. Fletcher although judged by his love of reading finds himself at his mother tree when his entire life changes.

Mr. Hollingsworth. by rosethorn1213

*currently being re-edited* Alice works for a huge company, but like any humble, kind-hearted employee, she's at the bottom of the food chain. Her boss, Ms. Joy, (ironic name considering she sucked the joy out of everything) absolutely despises her, making her do the must mind-numbing tasks available, but Alice is willing to, to pay her rent, and pay for food, but she can't even afford that sometimes. When she runs into the CEO of the company she's working for, she doesn't even know who he is, but he takes interest in her. An interest that may change her life for better, or for worse.

A Game of Cat and Mouse by serpentsandsongbirds

"There isn't a single word on this Earth that can describe how radiant you are. I am certain that a vision of you inspired the heavens, that one glimpse of you would make God realize why he created man. You are a divine angel and I am but a humble man begging on his knees for a taste of you." . . . Elio Nott is perhaps one of the most well-known bachelors in the Wizarding World. He's dashing, charming, and never serious. Which is why when Elio turns twenty-three with no signs of settling down, his parents decide to force him into the world of pureblood balls and matchmaking, much to his chagrin. The only perks are the *many* elegant females and, perhaps, the spiked punch. Elio hates it all. Until he goes to the stupid Malfoy Masquerade Ball only to find the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. But before he can even get her name, she disappears. Annalise Riddle is quiet, slow to trust, and prefers the company of her piano to one of her peers any day. As the daughter of the Dark Lord, she is constantly in danger so Annie spends her days shyly hidden away for fear of being harmed by one of his many enemies. So she isn't expecting to go to a ball and meet a stunning boy with grey eyes and a charming grin that takes away all of her defenses. Panicking, Annie leaves and vows to never see him again. Until he shows up another night to search for her. A Game of Cat and Mouse tells of a woman afraid of love and a man so determined to have her that he will stop at nothing. This book contains instant attraction, billionaire-esque playboy MMC, a sprinkle of dark romance, cinderella retelling, brother's rival, "he falls first AND harder", forced proximity, and lots of male pining. This is a spinoff of the Slytherin Boys series. It is recommended that you read my books Smoke & Stars and Darkness & Devotion for an idea of the character's parents and their backstories, though it is not required. This story does NOT take place at Hogwarts!

Cinderfall by kimpy6

A twist on the classic tale. Ashford Cinderfall already has enough on her plate, what with her nagging sisters, her critical step mother, and the management of her people. Magic wasn't something she was planning on, but for the safety of her loved ones she's willing to try anything once.

Kindergarten Cinderella by _Pissenlit_

Aurelia Williams' friends all want to be like the princesses in fairy tales, but she wishes she wasn't. Despite her child ingenuity, her life is just like the paperback copy of Cinderella her mother gave her before she died, only without the Prince Charming. Her step mother, Mona, and two step-sisters, Valentine and Valerie, won't let her ever live a life close to a normal five-year-old's. Her only escape is through writing, where she can forget about everything, and just be the character. When she meets Zander, a young, mysterious boy, the two worlds, fictional and real, collide. Can she manage to make everything right?

Rell and The Rose by hjnelson

A Beast stalks the night... but Beauty hunts him. A reimagining of the story you thought you knew. Rell grew up hearing stories of the Human Realm, a fantastic world with light at the flick of a finger, metal boxes that fly through the sky; a fantastic, faraway fairytale that she knows is too good to be true. Because Rell lives in the Dark Realm: a world full of magical creatures and a low-hanging sky, all protected by The Blood Rose. Until the day the Blood Rose is stolen away and taken to the Human Realm. Without it, the two realms will meet with disastrous consequences, the human sun bleaching all the magic from the Dark Realm. And so Rell leaves everything she knows to bring it back. There's only one problem: the Human Realm- especially high school- is nothing like the stories. There's some sort of code with words like "twerking" and "Instagram" she can't understand, and then there's Bastien, the boy who hates Rell for reasons she can't explain. But when Rell realizes Bastien is keeping just as many secrets as she is, the two become an unlikely team in the search for the Blood Rose. Time is ticking, and more than just The Dark Realm is at stake. Whoever stole the rose is now cursed to turn into a Beast every full moon, and is hidden among them. Students are going missing, and dark creatures are slipping into the Human Realm. Rell needs to find the Blood Rose, slay the Beast, survive high school, and sort out these new, confusing feelings for Bastien--all before the night of the full moon. To fail could mean the end of The Dark Realm and every magical creature within, but to succeed means she'll lose the boy she's falling for, and a Realm more beautiful than she ever imagined. A modern-day reimaging of Beauty and the Beast.

Fat Cinderella by _Gasoline12_

A wicked stepmother, Two jealous step sisters who are jealous of the oh-so-Amazing Cinderella and a hot prince dude who falls for her. Isn't that how the story goes? I related myself to the perfection called Cinderella when my Dad got married to the witch Margaret, when she brought in her evil daughters to our house, when my dad left for business trips and forgot he had a daughter. So, I grew up listening to the same old story of Cinderella and its many versions. All of these versions had one thing in common. She was drop dead gorgeous. I was not. Chances of an XXL Princess to meet her prince charming are almost Nil. But As the story goes, All It takes is one night. Just one single night that could destroy your fairytale. Hey, I am the fat Cinderella and this is my story of not finding my prince charming but myself.

His uncle, the captain of the police, assigns him to Estelle Fontenot's missing person's case.
