Retelling Stories

A retelling/reimagining of Poppy Playtime based on the events of Poppy Playtime Chapters 1 through 5. The story follows a young adult man in his mid-to-late 20's by the name of Cameron Wallace, who interned at the Playtime Co. toy factory over a decade ago as a teenager due to his father, Patrick Wallace, working there as well. After the mysterious disappearance of the staff just days after he and his father left, Cameron receives a lead over a decade later that his former co-workers may still be alive but trapped within the factory. Following the clues left to him, Cameron returns to the abandoned Playtime Co. factory once more to see if he can solve the mystery of what happened on August 8th, 1995, as well as what was going on within the factory that led to his father's suicide years after their departure from Playtime. (This story, like the original game, may describe unsettling topics. Take caution while reading.)

Brittney Minola has a problem. Her father has one very strict rule: Brittney cannot date until her older sister, Kat, does. Unfortunately, Kat Minola has absolutely no interest in dating. Or romance. Or most people, if she's being honest. Which means Brittney's love life is officially stuck. Until a group of determined second-year boys decides they've had enough. Their solution? Find Kat a boyfriend. When the infamous MacDonald twins arrive in the city, they become the unexpected key to the entire plan. Josie MacDonald has just taken over her godfather's tea shop and is settling into city life perfectly-serving tea, listening to gossip, and occasionally stirring up trouble of her own. Her twin brother Peter, meanwhile, is on a gap year with absolutely no idea what he's doing next. To the boys, they're the perfect recruits. So Peter gets roped into pretending to date Kat, while Josie gets dragged into helping sell the lie. If they can convince Brittney and Kat's very strict father that Kat is officially off the market, Brittney will finally be free to date whoever she wants. Simple, right? Not quite. Because fake relationships have a way of getting complicated. Secrets don't stay hidden forever. And once the MacDonald twins get involved, chaos is practically guaranteed. Soon, the plan is spiralling out of control, friendships are getting messy, and the line between pretending and something much more real is becoming dangerously blurred. In this chaotic modern retelling of The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare, schemes unravel, feelings get complicated, and meddling siblings might just change everything. (Shakespeare Re-Telling #2)

Clara grew up on faerie tales, but never once thought the fae would leap from the pages of her storybooks and steal her mother away. When her mother is kidnapped by a faerie and secrets about her father come to light, Clara is forced into an adventure she never thought possible. Relying on her curiosity, knack for helping others, and the trail of hints left behind by her parents, Clara must find a way to save her mother and support her siblings before her world crumbles fully apart. Featuring princes in disguise, magic, and more mystery than Clara could've ever imagined, the path to the answers she seeks is twisted and turning, as she discovers the truth about the faerie tales she thought she knew as well as the truth about herself. ------ A fairy tale story and the final rough draft of the story, once called Glass Slippers.

Ryazan, one of the grandest cities in all Rus', lays along the war path of thousands of Tatar warriors eager to seize the spoils of a short-fought campaign: the women of the city and gold from its treasury. Having set up camp just beyond the city, they await a reply from the envoys of Grand Prince Yuriy. As the Grand Prince deliberates, his boyars both caution and counsel him. If Ryazan falls, the rest of Rus' may be next ─ an outcome his people grow ever more wary of, turning to priests and heretics alike as rumor and fear run rampant inside the city walls. Finally left untended, the Polovtsian princess Yanay, conquered once before, now betrothed to one of the Grand Prince's brothers, quietly observes these developments. She prays to her old gods when she can and aligns herself with a young Tatar captive and quick-thinking kinsman, all the while secretly seeking her freedom and revenge. ──────── ☽ ◯ ☾ ──────── A retelling of the Siege of Ryazan complete with rageful women and warrior princes; gods both kind and cunning; and tragedy aplenty.

This is a Sequel to my Original story Twisted Fate (Naraku x Reader) I highly recommend you read that one first. This story will follow the Yashahime Manga, not the Anime cause frankly it sucked.

In this autobiographical narrative, Urmila, the steadfast sister of Sita and devoted wife to Lakshmana, reclaims her voice from the shadows of the Ramayana. Long overshadowed as the "forgotten wife," she weaves a tapestry of her life-marked by joy, sacrifice, quiet strength, and an extraordinary slumber that spanned fourteen years. Through her intimate first-person perspective, Urmila explores themes of duty, love, resilience, and the unseen burdens borne by women in epic tales. The story spans her childhood in Mithila, the grandeur of her marriage, the heart-wrenching exile, her ethereal years of enforced sleep, and her triumphant return to a changed world. This is not merely a retelling but a reclamation: Urmila's dreams, doubts, and unyielding spirit finally illuminated.

A Fictional Memoir of the tradition of a woman playing Peter Pan, which helped me think through my Gender. This NeroQueer Retellung is appropriate for readers 10 and up, because kids have the RIGHT to read Queer Literature! Since an "Actress" is assumed to be a woman, and Peter Pan is a boy, there is Misgendering in this fanfiction. It was in the tags, but I want to put a clear Trigger Waning. Also, Trigger Warning for the racial slur that calls Indigenous People "Red." I have thoughts... Credit for the Fairy Genders goes to J.M. Barrie My portrayal of Tiger Lily is Anti-Colonial Through a Disability Justice lens. To Sondra Lee, who played Tiger Lily, and saved my life To Lerisssa Fasthorse, who justly restored my lost dignity To Adolph Green, who taught me what makes a monter and what makes a man, is complicated To Jerome Robbins, who challenged my intellect and morality And of course to Mary Martin, who taught me about the "Unusal things you can do"

"Hey hench-human, what's with the serious face?" "...I think Eliza recognized me..." "What kinda nonsense is that? She's a ghost and you're from another world."

And on top of that, stuck in a school of mages while being the only one who can't use it. While she struggles to survive Overblots & other obstacles, odd things are happening in the sidelines. The possibility that she might have a connection to Twisted Wonderland. That she might have to save both this world, and her homeworld because of it.

It's been seven years since the Murder Drones arrived on Copper 9. The Worker Drone population has only survived thanks to underground bunkers that have since become sprawling communities. Uzi Doorman doesn't consider that living, though. How can everyone be content with surrendering their home? Since losing her mother to those monsters, striking back has been at the forefront of her mind. But no one else seems to believe in her dream of a Copper 9 free of Murder Drones. Whether anyone believes in her or not, Uzi is determined to see her vision through and sets out on a perilous journey that brings her face to face with the boogeymen of Copper 9 and forces greater than she ever could have imagined.

When the walls between realities begin to fray under the weight of the Heartless invasion, Destiny Islands doesn't just fall into darkness-it collides with a world of bullet-climax ballet and ancient witchcraft. Sora, cast adrift in a shattered Traverse Town, finds himself under the watchful, bespectacled eye of Cereza-the legendary Umbra Witch, Bayonetta. To her, the Heartless are nothing more than "uncouth little pets," but in Sora, she senses a heart capable of a rare feat: wielding the darkness of the Umbra without losing the light of the Keyblade. Join Sora, Donald, and Goofy as they navigate the classic Disney worlds with a stylish, over-the-top edge. Guided by his "temporary guardian," Sora must learn to master the Beast Within and the secrets of Witch Time to face a corrupted Riku and the machinations of Ansem. In this retelling of a classic journey, the boy who fought for light will learn that true strength lies in the balance of the shadows-and that sometimes, a little "maternal" sass is the best weapon against the darkness.

"Who are you?" she asked me exasperated. Her breath uneven, features frustrated. You know me I want to say, I don't reply. I watch her. "Where the hell did you come from?" she staggers in her steps. Tilting sideways, going off balance. I catch her in my arms. Breaking her fall, steadying her. A faraway land of another time, I want to say. Her frustration builds up and my silence only fuels it. With angry tears in her heavenly eyes, she grasps on my shirt. "You haunt me. I close my eyes, I see you. You are always there, but never quite in reach. I can't stop thinking about you. Look at what have you done to me? You made me insane" "Laura" is all I say and she collapses. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Never in all these years, she thought she would see her again. But the beautiful thing about history is, it repeats. And when it does, it is so hauntingly perfect. Then it plays the cards. Same people, Same setting A tale long lost, repeating

Between flirtatious banter and stylish skirmishes, a slow-burn romance ignites-one that grounds Charlie's optimism and awakens Cereza's buried sensuality. But as memories of the Umbra Witches and celestial wars begin to flicker back, Cereza must decide if she is a monster from another world or the savior Charlie needs. In a realm of song, sin, and shadows, the height of the Extermination looms. To protect the woman she loves, Cereza will have to reclaim her name, her guns, and her power. Because when a Witch and a Princess dance together, even the Heavens will tremble.
