Snow White is pure, Red Riding Hood is innocent, Cinderella is the victim. We all know this. But that is where we are all wrong. Even through stories, these people have twisted our beliefs to think them sweet and incapable of wrong. Now the truth is revealed. Snow White's seductress ways are known, the murderess Red Riding Hood is shown to the world and the scheming of Cinderella to claim a throne is no longer hidden. See these old tales for the secrets long concealed by charmed storytellers. Realise how lovable your childhood playmates are when all lost knowledge is laid bare.
This is a collection of my take on old faerytales where the role of villain and hero or heroine is switched. If anyone has a request I can do that, too, or any specific stories, songs or movies anyone wants me to change the perception of. These stories can be read in any order and are complete unto themselves.

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
Ever after high love story!
This is my first story on Wattpad so I am deeply sorry if it's bad. These are going to be the original characters like Cinderella and Snow White. Anyway there's a character I have made up her name is Bridget Wonderland daughter of Alice wonderland and she's also little sister of Alistair Wonderland. Bridget is 18 and soon turning 19 but she will have to go through a lot to get there and be more mature. Through the years she has grown respectful, caring, and has more experience. You will see the dramatic change throughout the whole story. She first starts out in wonderland and her family thought it would be the best idea to finally move to fairytale land where Bridget and Alistair will be attending Ever After high. She will meet some amazing people and some wicked villains. But one question she and her family have is what is her destiny? She will find out she has to be the next Snow Queen. And she also has to be friendly to a boy named Jake Frost. Everyone thinks her and him should be together but she has her eyes on someone else. Who is this person? Are they a villain or a hero? She only will choose one. If you would like to fin out more about this story please read it. I hope you enjoy it.Complete

Unsure what to do, she gets caught up in a series of events that lead to her being hidden and whisked away from the only familiar place she knew.

Fables Academy (TWAU)
Highest ranking at Number 1 in #Fables and in #Snigby! Thank you everyone :) - This book is unedited [updated description in 2021], under heavy embarrassment from the author, and is technically incomplete however I finally published an ending of sorts. I'll keep this book up for the nostalgia I guess, since it received so much support back in the day. Feel free to enjoy the ride again, or for the first time, nevertheless. Crazy princesses, annoying princes, cute boys, and troublesome teens. Pretty much all the Fables who make up the world of Fables Academy. ---------------------------------------------------------- Snow White is a cold person, who just wants an easy life. But being the future princess and fairest of them all isn't as easy as it seems, especially when she meets the love of her life who turns everything in her world upside down. Bigby Wolf is a handsome troublemaker and future Big Bad Wolf, who loves Snow more than anything. No one ever said that a relationship between a princess and a wolf would go smoothly though. Mary Queen, childhood friend of Bigby and arch enemy of Snow, is just a cold blooded killer who likes to fight all the time. Though sometimes, she isn't as evil as she appears to be. ---------------------------------------------------------- Despite all the drama, these three go through thick and thin together in order to finally graduate and move on to the stories that will make them become legends. This is a book that accounts all the crazy things that happen on their adventure through High School, where everything doesn't entirely make sense and nothing ever goes right. It's also my first book so I hope you like it! Contains swearing, violence, romance, bromance and probably satire.Complete

Tales of Arran (GL)
A retelling of a fairy tale we all know. A story full of twists and turns, combining fantasy and romance, with psychological themes, elements of magic and demons! [From the story] The princess shivered and brought her mouth close to the blonde's ear: "Did you think I wouldn't notice? Don't be embarrassed... I've been harboring inappropriate thoughts for a long time." ~•~•~•~•~ "My dear, I ask your forgiveness, for I am human like others, a victim of passions and sins." And she concluded solemnly, lowering her head to the princess's. Their mouths met: Snow White's lips were indeed cold, but soft, as the queen had always imagined. ~•~•~•~•~
