Awakened: A Story of Sleeping Beauty by Willowbough (G)
Fandom: Fairy Tales: Sleeping Beauty
Character: The Princess
Length: 5K words
Author Website: at AO3
Why this must be read: It's a thoughtful tale that answers the question: Does the Sleeping Beauty always love the prince who wakes her? Willowbough has cleverly set the classic tale during the hundred years between the French Revolution and the eve of the twentieth century in France. The princess and her royal family had avoided the guillotine by escaping to a country chateau, but they can't escape the spinning wheel's curse.
When she is awakened, it's to a world of speeding trains, the Eiffel Tower and women liberated enough to drive cars and smoke cigarettes. She's wondering what her future holds, when she realizes that there's still a bit of leftover magic that might hold the answer. Enjoy.
