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.All Rights Reserved

Until The Clock Stikes (NACS Remake) by JellyBeanniee

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. REWRITE Original story is called Not Another Cinderella Story. *Cover Made By Glorious Mess Graphics (@lrafael98)*

Home Sweet Home by ErinWrights

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?

Ever ever after, David Nolan by bizzle3603

Ever ever after is supposed to be the happy ending of your story but what if after all the trials and tribulations you've gone through to get it that a final curse is put on the entire land, taking away your happily ever after and taking you to a place where they don't exist. Where neither you or the man you love don't know each other even exist and our living completely different lives and your daughter is forced to grow up on her own without either of you and she doesn't even know why. But maybe the only way to get to a new ever after is to find a way to wish and believe in a world that doesn't.

Dark One's Daughter *Book One* by creativereader536

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).

The Mirror Perception by WitchGirl39

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.
