Story Preview: Fairy Tales Verse



Ah, the first portion of DnA before everything literally fell down the drain. So much goddamn potential for the manga and well... you could still write metas but you have to deal with many frustrating developments like Furuya taking credit again just because he has the ace number. Ace does not mean you score everything; it's just like Kageyama before his character development. Look at Haikyuu! and Kuroko no Basuke for examples.

Fairy tales, myths, and fables are one of my loves. I got into fairy tales because of Disney particularly that of Cinderella and I already read The Little Mermaid before even watching the Disney version. I will read the more horrific versions of fairy tales like comeuppance for the villains. I love Sound Horizon's Marchen for example.

Now, what kind of fairy tale should I use for this one fic? Snow White, Snow White and Rose Red, Donkeyskin, Sleeping Beauty, Frau Holle and so much more. But I want a fairy tale that I can allow to develop the characters to show canon in an alternate world. That is what I am doing with my Sterek Cinderella. I would add elements from other fairy tales like how Cinderella 2015 added an element of Beauty and the Beast and other versions of Cinderella like the tree branch & Snow White: Fairest of Them All added elements of Snow Queen and Snow White and Rose Red. I would at least try to get some of the baseline of a fairy tale at least.

Cinderella should be the easiest but I want to do something different. While I am using adaptations of Cinderella for my Sterek, I am adamant about having parallels to canon up to what is needed for the current situation. That means that the first chapter might be long. Because it might be some time before they can achieve their happily ever after.

So, Slow Burn/Build. I always wanted to try one and I will do it. Besides I always thought it's best to show development of both the troubling and the best kind to earn your ending.

There will be antagonists but not in the way you think. Antagonists, not villains. There are no villains in DnA, simply antagonists and yes Furuya counts as one. Scott counts as one.

Regardless canon will be implemented (that I approve of that is; I do not like Glee canon at all while I very much love the canon of Teen Wolf) and yes Eijun Sawamura will come up on top as likely either prince or king of whatever country the Miyuki family is ruling, a rank far beyond Furuya and all others. Simply because Japan in-canon isn't ready for Sawamura who would blow them away thanks for his limitless potential.

Yes, it would still be Sawamura Eijun and Miyuki Kazuya as the main ship. In this fairy tale series, there will be only one big ship per fic with ambiguous minor pairings, one or the other or both sometimes, on the side (seriously in the Cinderella fic, I will not only be hinting Marrish and Allydia but also Janny, Dethan, etc).

Because of my simple love for crossovers, these fics might crossover with their tales becoming famous (like Stiles' famous glass shoes or a poisoned apple from a particular kingdom or Eijun's donkeyskin cloak) where magic is known just like in our world, the Fair Folk and all.

As for historical accuracy, this is mostly for self-indulgent purposes only. so.... no research will be put into. Everything from mercenary to aristocracy rankings are just there because I need parallels. The best you can think of such ranking or anything involving aristocracy, knights, soldiers, etc are really taken from the Tales series.

I might write a sequel for each of these stories because I love the thought of political intrigue for these characters.

Part I: Sterek Cinderella

Part II: Miyusawa Donkeyskin

I haven't set the parts yet but there will be varieties of pairings.

Who knows what other parts should I do including the semi-sequels?

Okay, an opinion is an opinion. Respect it. The basic concept to grasp is respect. Don't they teach you that in school? By your own parents too? If you don't like a show is going, then it's not to your taste, don't watch it anymore or go to another fandom altogether; if you are just going to hate on it, spreading vitriol like the Black Death, you are just a hater. I personally don't like how DnA is going by its huge focus on Furuya no Ace but that doesn't mean I hate DnA in entirety. I personally feel disappointment is worse than hate. Constructive criticism is better than trolling. Maybe it is because of how I was raised by disappointment rather than let myself consumed by hatred for my parents. Seriously do you see me hate on Rowdyreviewer for hating Teen Wolf (wholly disagreeing with him) or Doug Walker and Lindsay Ellis for loving Frozen to the point of making their favorite film list or Lindsay Ellis for hating The Little Mermaid? No! I disagree with them, hell I'm disagreeing with lots of internet reviewers nowadays and only focusing on how they execute their comedy. Doug Walker is a hit-or-miss in his new era of Nostalgia Critic with a couple gems then and there. Do you see me hate on DRRR? I consider Baccano! superior but I do not hate DRRR. I have friends who love DRRR and Frozen. Think of it like food. My brother loves spicy while I can't stand spicy of any kind except really mild or barely there. We still get along. What is the difference between food and fandom? Fandom is meant to bring people together with their love; isn't that the point of being a fan? Not to spread hatred for something you now dislike yet somehow you still stay on?

Respect other opinions. Do not let fandom toxicity devolve you.
