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.

Home Sweet Home
Gretel never had much of an interest in magic, not really. The inn she runs just happens to be made out of candy. But that design choice was made by the home's previous occupant, the witch Agatha, who had tried to steal the youthful bodies of Gretel and her brother Hansel. The witch had misused her magic though, and as punishment the house took away her human form and trapped her inside of a gingerbread one. Gretel has big dreams though. She wants to expand their little cottage into the finest set of lodgings in all of Germany. Money is an issue. As are the tricks Agatha plays against on the customers, always trying to worm her way back into a human form. The money problem could be solved by a wealthy investor, such as her neighbor Thomas, but that man only has one thing on this mind. And then the war came. Across the border the French have overthrown their King and established something called a Republic. German troops march west to avenge the death of their Emperor's brother-in-law and Hansel has marched with them. What's more the magic in the house is fading. The witch Agatha says it needs a new Master to make new rules and new spells, or else it will melt away into nothing. But is Gretel up to the task?Complete

Emma and Elias Swan grew up together in the foster system, they have always been together, and are each other's best friend. When Emma and Elias were in their late teens, they were arrested and were separated for the first time, by being placed in separate cellblocks. While in jail, Elias found out that he was going to be a father, but when the time came to raise the child, he turned him away and put him up for a closed adoption. Ten years later, Elias' son went looking for his birth father, to bring him and his sister to a town in Maine called Storybrooke, to break a curse which the Evil Queen placed on everyone, causing them to forget who they really are and become separated from their loved ones. • • [Based on OUAT season 1] [Double Swan||Book #1] • • [DISCLAIMER: I only own my character Elias Swan, Helena/Nadia, Athena and Seraphina/Alana along with their storylines.

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
