Once upon a time, MegLee06 and Nathalaia decided to write their own badass fairy tale. And it was loved by all. The end.

Okay, seriously, we’ve been working and working and working on this story for a while now. One day, we did decide to make a collaboration, and it ended up being a fairy tale, or at the very least, inspired by one. But ah - if you’re wondering which one, we aren’t going to tell you. Yet. It will all be (kind of) clear in the prologue, which we will upload the 21st of December! However, if you look at the title, one of the words is linked to the fairy tale we decided to take and… give a twist or twelve. Have fun guessing!

As for the fic, we have the whole plot mapped out, more or less (~40 pages on Word, only notes, sigh), so now it’s just a question about putting those ideas down on (screen)paper. If all goes according to our plans, there will be a prologue followed by ten chapters, then an epilogue (and as it looks now, the average word count is ~7.000 words per chapter, so yay!). We just finished Chapter 2, but the editing process is a and we want it to be as close to perfect as possible, hence, the prologue will first be up when we have gone through it a few more times.

At the moment, the fic is not rated as a whole, but will only mark the chapters that require it. If we feel it needs to be bumped up, we will adjust the rating accordingly.

Update (18/06/2015): We now have a poster! A thousand kisses to Spotlight Posters for making this wonderful poster! We can definitely recommend them!

Meg’s Notes: So this has been a huge chunk of time and effort (and so much love). It has a little bit of everything, and all of the emotions you’ve come to expect from me in other stories, and amped up by Nat’s own emotional intensity, so it is going to be one hell of a ride. A long, heart-wrenching ride with dark twists and turns, and we are so, so excited. Eat your heart out, Brothers Grimm. For those who are waiting for other updates on my stories, they are coming, but this had to be written. Rest assured I haven’t lost the motivation for those, but our muses demanded this from us, and who are we to deny them? I hope you all enjoy this as much as we have enjoyed writing it!

Nat’s Notes: Beware of slight angst. Just a tiny bit. Not much. Or maybe I’m lying. Who knows (aside from Meg, ha). As for my own fics - worry not, they will be updated/uploaded. Eventually. And woe! The troubles of having one UK writer and one US writer and having different preferences for the spelling of a name (damn you, Junmyeon/Joonmyun). That’s where compromises come in handy, haha. Anyway, I am so excited about this and have been so since we started plotting it, so I hope you will follow us until the end on this ride and I really hope you will like it!
