Brother's Grimm Got Nothin'

July 21 2005
So I was reading someone's post about how they wanted a fairytale, and I just have to ask....

If you were to write your fairytale, what would it be?

Mine is fairly warped. It would involve a reluctant royal bound to a prearranged marriage contract. This sticky situation is made doubly difficult by the fact that she is developing extraordinary powers over which she has no control, leaving them apt to manifest at very inopportune moments. So like any dutiful daughter would, she leaves home and assumes a commoner identity. During her travels, which are rife with adventure as always, she winds up in a situation that involves her saving the life of a foreign-born travelling minstrel. The minstrel attaches himself to her, and try as she might, she just can't shake him off. This, just like in any other fairytale, means they eventually fall in love. They travel to his native country, where there's an excess of political unrest. They overthrow the corrupt nobility and just before everyone lives happily ever after....

She discovers he's the monarch she tried to escape a prearranged marriage contract with by running away.

Then everyone lives happily ever after.

So, what's yours?
Come oooon, tell!

That sounds so much like you. My fairy tale is quite simple... and pretty much the basic plot of them all... but how precious it is... There is a princess in danger, and the only one who truley cares about her does everything he can, fighting every enemy he faces in order to rescue her and win her heart. Then they ride away in the sunset on his horse and live happily ever after!
