On Hold for now
What if the wistful and magical fairy tales we tell the children to make them sleep were actually exaggerated versions of unusual events that happened in the past?
In this book, read the retellings of the fairytales you loved so much in your childhood in a completely new light, which is, without any magic. Read them as they would have happened in real life.
And when you remove these mystical elements of the fairy tales, that is when they become truly horrifying.
And then you'll realise, fairy tales could be the distorted, white-washed versions of actual events, and these actual events are something that you wouldn't even want your enemy to suffer from...
Featuring retellings of well known stories like Cinderella, Snow White and Hansel and Gretel if they would have actually happened.

The Mirror Perception
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.Complete

Away with the Fairies
☆ONC 2021 Honourable Mention and Shortlister☆ ☆One of Round Two Top Five Winners☆ ☆Multiple times featured☆ ☆☆☆ ☆This is a story about H. Ch. Andersen, about how he became a writer and why most of his stories are so sad and melancholic. Also, about why he never found real love... Yes, that's what I read about him (among other things)-- he kept falling in love with unatteinable women. My story portrays Hans Christian Andersen as a young, fourteen-years-old boy. It's set in Odense, Denmark, in the late summer of 1818-- soon after Hans' mother, a poor washerwoman, remarried (two years after his father's death) and shortly before he was sent to a school for poor children where he had to support himself. Where he became, to be able to afford his schooling, first a weaver's, then a tailor's apprentice, a singer, an actor and finally, once his excellent soprano voice changed, a writer. Hans and Louise, his (fictional) step-sister, seek refuge from a summer storm in an old shed. There, they meet Rosalind, a lost Flower Fairy. When they decide to help her find the Butterfly Fairy boy she loves and intends to marry, she takes them into a fantastical world of Terra Sonalis, her home. A land of dreams populated by fairies, goblins, elves, mermaids, talking animals... All those mysterious creatures that fuelled Andersen's imagination for the rest of his life. ☆☆☆Complete![Snow White [EDITING]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/36790430-256-k184126.jpg)
Snow White [EDITING]
When true love's first kiss doesn't save lives and dwarves aren't so little, when the prince isn't love at first sight and just maybe the mother's death isn't so insignificant. Snow White but with a twist. What happened to Snow White's unnamed mother? What made the evil queen so... well vain? And what if the seven dwarfs weren't seven dwarfs but seven gorgeous brothers? Not your average fairy tale as Snow is hit with a pinch of sass and a cup of love. This story is being fixed up chapters that have 'Re-' are edited chapters that have Filler Chapter are new chaptersComplete
Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales
What would you do if tales of old stayed true to the original text? Would you like them more than the remade Disney tales? You might find yourself trapped in the whirlwind of folk tales, of the stories that were meant to scare children into listening to their parents. Read to find out! This is a copy of The Grimm Brothers fairy tales. It's just a copyright, really, I hope you enjoy! (A/N: I began this when I was 13 and I had no idea what editing was so some of these are not edited to be very readable, if you find yourself struggling please message me and I will try my best to fix it! I'm 19 now and I major in storytellers art english so I should be able to make it flow nicely!)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
Dark One's Daughter *Book One*
Being the daughter of the dark one was always going to be a struggle. But this? This is just pure madness. It's even harder when you don't remember your true self and who you really are. Join me on my journey to find out the truth about this mysterious town that we like to call Storybrooke. Season One I don't own any other character than Amie (in this story she will probably be known as Tasha as that is who she is before the curse is broken).Complete
Until The Clock Stikes (NACS Remake)
My name is Demia Marie Johnson. My father is- was Grigori Damon Johnson I was seven when he remarried, before that I had never known a mothers love. I still don't, but she gave me a sister. My father used to read stories to Lucy and me when we were young. Our favorite was about the boy with the golden egg. 'There was once a Countryman who possessed the most wonderful Goose you can imagine, for every day when he visited the nest, the Goose had laid a beautiful, glittering, golden egg.' It's the one about life being more than what it seems. Or maybe I'm reading to much into it. It could be about the world's most expensive omelet.
