Winter's Rose ~A Beauty and the Beast Retelling~
'"Oh, William, there will be no heir. The throne will sit empty for years. Everything your father created will be gone. And you will not be able to stop it." She walked towards him, like the serpent in the garden. She touched her finger to his forehead, and leaned into close, "You will become the thing you fear the most; a monster who lurks in the night; a soul lost from its path. You will be blinded by your own fear. As time goes on--and it will go on--you will be trapped by your fear until it consumes you. You will forever be a monster, and you won't be able to stop it." "No," he clamored, "I'll overcome it, I'll fight it every day until I die." "Oh, my dear, you will not die. You will be immune to death--a monster today, a monster tomorrow, and a monster forever. A soul lost from its path can only be led back to the light, it cannot find its own path."' (The Two Curses) ~~ How can a person lead you back to the light when they are as blind as you?

Beast - a retelling of Beauty and the Beast
When Manon,s father, the King, told her that he'd promised her away to the Beast King, she was terrified. Not for the reasons you might think, though. Being married to a Beast didn't scare her so much. No what scared her was the thought of what he might do to her once he learned that she didn't possess the charm and beauty that her two younger sisters were famous for.This is my version of beauty and the beast. It's inspired in part by a fairytale I read as a child, (I think it was called The Sun and the Moon). It's about a woman who got married to a man, who's face she was never allowed to see, but whom she had to share a bed with every night in the dark.Finally, I've added a bit of fur and fang to the story, so I hope you enjoy.Expert from the story:"You know you've been bad, don't you," he growls in my ear, and all I can do is nod soundlessly as my body starts to shiver at his proximity.He's standing flush up against my back. I feel the warmth of his big, solid body seeping into mine. And even though I know he's furious I can't prevent myself from quivering helplessly as he leans in even closer.Suddenly I feel his sharp canines scrape the delicate skin on my neck, making me shiver uncontrollably. I feel his hot, wet tongue sliding over my vein, almost as if he's tracking my pulse with his tongue."I can taste your pulse underneath my tongue," he growls, spreading his hot breath against my neck and giving me goosebumps."I feel you quivering beneath my body and I can hear your heart beating." He leans in and gently bites my ear. "Do you have any idea what that does to a beast?"Attention: All the naughty chapters will be put under "Beast - Restricted Chapters" You can find that on my profile page @evamadison

With more thought out actions, more thoughts in general, and a little more feeling?Well, I guess this re-telling of the classic flash game is the answer to those "what if" questions.

Cote: Retelling
First fanfic, irregular uploads, will probably suck so bad it will create a singularity, don't expect much, etc. You know, all the usual stuff.This is a retelling of the original COTE story, and I say so because there isn't any significant change to the initial premise. There's no "Ayanokouji will go full power" or "Ayanokouji will be in a different class." While there will be significant changes to the plot and some characters, the premise remains the same. Also, things will probably be a lot slower compared to most other fanfics.I do not own COTE, Shogo Kinugasa sensei owns everything and is the god of COTE, etc blah blah copyright blah blah you know the rest.
A Familiar Love- A Radhakrishn Retelling
We are all familiar with the five thousand-year-old love story of the greatest lovers of the ages, RadhaKrishna.This is my take on what would be their story like in today's world.~Radha has witnessed her fair share of loss throughout her life. Her once big happy family has been reduced to a small one which has been ruined by grief and loss and while she has managed to remain her happy self, she yearns for something her family might have forgotten to express to her, love.Now someone has appeared in her life seemingly out of nowhere. He's doing everything in her power to annoy her to the point of her having dreams of killing him.Watch this sweet love story unfold, peek inside to witness this retelling of the greatest love saga. ~DISCLAIMER~This story is loosely based on the Star Bharat show Radhakrishn, but I would change most of it to fit my setting.I am writing this because of my love for them and I would appreciate it if you forgive any mistakes or inaccuracies in the story. Hate will not be appreciated or tolerated.
