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.

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.

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.

Now, I know what you're thinking. It's just some dumb Snow White story- who would ever want to read that? Well, this version of Snow White is a little... different. Mainly because it's TRUE! See, when I told the story to the Grimm brothers, they just had to change it! We'll make it more popular, they said. No one wants to read a story with a queen for a heroine- lets make it about a princess instead. So, they ended up making the version you've read countless times, about to read it again because your younger sister just HAS to hear it again. Another thing to complain about? Well, when they changed the story they unknowingly put a curse on me! So now I have to stay old forever until someone reads the true Snow White story. And, my lucky reader, that someone is you! So, read on, let me escape my curse, and enjoy! Just becaus eit's true doesn't mean it's boring! I'll even start you off!

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
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
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
One of You: OUAT
Book 1 of the One of You series (Y/n) Adler and her twin sister Emma Swan never thought that fairy tales were a thing to take seriously. Abandoned as babies, the girls were separated, only to find each other once more.

Which one of them will bring back the happy endings and break the curse the Evil Queen has set upon the inhabitants of the Enchanted Forest?

We know the story of Emma Swan, mother of Henry, daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming. But what about the story of Elias Swan, father of Henry, twin brother of Emma Swan, oldest child of Snow White and Prince Charming. 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.

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
