Pretty as a Doll by AnonEhouse (Teen)
I'm honored to pick up the Crack Van keys one more time, in a category that's new to the site: fairy tales.
One of the things that draws me to fanfic is the love the authors have for the characters. They redress wrongs, they provide back story and reasons for the unreasonable stuff that can happen, and they make the characters fully-dimensional. Never is that more true than in fairy tale fanfic, where the source material is often a short story that leaves little room for embellishment, or a long story that focuses on select characters. During this turn, I'd like to share some of my favorite fairy tale transformations.
Fandom: Fairy Tales: Snow White
Pairing: Snow White/The Prince
Length: 1428 words
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: at AO3
Why this must be read: What if Snow White wasn't a helpless victim but a woman with a plan? In this version, Snow isn't so much calculating as she is determined. Well, maybe she's a bit calculating. ::grins:: By setting her goals early, she's able to focus not only on herself but also on the world around her so she can avoid pitfalls and advance her cause.
The author does an admirable job showing the world through Snow's eyes. I'll never look at that Disney movie the same way again. Enjoy.

If you like this, take a moment to tell the author. You will absolutely make her day!
