History Fanfic / Fairytales

* LastRequest: [[spoiler: On her deathbed, Snow White, seeing that her child is a girl, asks her husband to never remarry. It’s implied that she doesn’t want her daughter to suffer at the hands of a stepmother the way she did.]{

* RealityEnsues: [[spoiler:Snow White gives birth at fourteen, in the thirteenth century with its limited medicine. [[DeathByChildbirth Magic does not come to her rescue]].]]

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6301605/1/Fairytales Fairytales]]'' is a fanfic one-shot by Commander, written as a series of vignettes that act as sequels (or in some cases, prequels) to many of the Franchise/DisneyPrincess movies. The vignettes each occupy a different timespace from 934 AD to 1934 AD and take place in different settings ([[{{WesternAnimation/Aladdin}} Agrabah]] shows up twice, albeit centuries apart). As a Disney fanfic, it stands out as being somewhat more mature and grounded with its subject matter while never seeming irreverent to the fairy tale spirit of the original movies. As an added bonus, all of the vignettes are tied together by the year 1934 [[spoiler:when it's revealed that all of the Disney princesses and princes occupy the same family tree]].

* WhamLine: The opening vignette is light enough, with Aladdin and Jasmine talking about Prince Malik's future. Then the second vignette begins, and shows the story's somewhat DarkerAndEdgier character with one line:
--> "[[spoiler:And Princess Snow White was dying.]]"

--> "[[spoiler:[Tiana and Naveen were] not even noticing the big blue genie hovering in the corner, watching them.]]"

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: The story focuses on the {{Trope Codifier}}s.

** Although [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast the Beast]] was never given a name on-screen, [[AllThereInTheManual supplementary material]] gives him the name Adam. Here, his name is given as [[spoiler:Henri]].

* BookEnds: With characters from ''{{Disney/Aladdin}}''; the first vignette shows Aladdin discussing with Jasmine on how he'll do as a father and the very end of the story [[spoiler:has the Genie fly back to Aladdin to tell him that even after a millenium, his descendents are going to be pretty well-off]].

* FlatEarthAtheist: Tiana and Naveen's daughter Renee, a ''five''-year-old one no less.

* LoveAtFirstSight: Melody and Alphonse ([[spoiler:Belle and Henri's son]]), to the point Melody's mother is surprised. And knowing [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Ariel]], that says a ''whole'' lot.

* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: Every one of the (marketed) Disney princesses up to [[Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog Tiana]] show up[[note]]The story was published in September of 2010, before the release of ''Disney/{{Tangled}}''[[/note]], some even meeting with characters that were made decades later.

* [[CuteClumsyGirl Cute Clumsy Guy]]: A good reason why Tiana doesn't want Naveen in the kitchen alone.

* DeathOfAChild: [[spoiler:Cinderella's daughter Lisette, who dies at seventeen of typhoid fever. Subverted with eleven-year-old Henri, who was apparently killed by a beast, but actually ''was'' the beast. Snow White technically counts too, at fourteen.]]

* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: Every one of the (marketed) Disney princesses up to [[Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog Tiana]] show up[note]The story was published in September of 2010, before the release of ''Disney/{{Tangled}}''[/note], some even meeting with characters that were made decades later.

* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: Every one of the (marketed) Disney princesses up to [[Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog Tiana]] show up, some even meeting with characters that were made decades later.

* HappilyMarried: Subverted, surprisingly enough, in Snow White and Cinderella's case. The former because her fairy tale romance just began [[spoiler:and ended]] much too quickly for her to adjust; the latter because the loss of two of her children [[spoiler:before she found out one did survive]] left her in grief for ten years. We can also assume that the trope was averted with [[spoiler:Naveen's grandparents.]]

** A more downplayed version appears with Analiese and Stefan.

* OutOfFocus: While most of the canonical princesses up to Tiana make appearances, Pocahontas and Mulan only get brief mentions as part of Tiana and Naveen's backstories, respectively.

* TangledFamilyTree: Some surprisingly complex relations appear throughout the story [[spoiler:to tie all the princesses into the same family tree.]]

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Um, duh.

* AdaptationNameChange: Although [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast the Beast]] was never given a name on-screen, [[AllThereInTheManual supplementary material]] gives him the name Adam. Here, his name is given as [[spoiler:Henri]].

* WhamLine: [[spoiler:"And Princess Snow White was dying."]] After the lighthearted first vignette, that sentence marks the point where the story shifts into its more mature style.

* RelatedInTheAdaptation: [[''All'' of the Disney princesses up to Tiana are part of the same family tree, spread out over a thousand years.]]

* TangledFamilyTree: Oh, where to begin?

* [[spoiler:TangledFamilyTree]]: Oh, where to begin?

* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: Every one of the (marketed) Disney princesses up to [[ThePrincessAndTheFrog Tiana]] show up, some even meeting with characters that were made decades later.

* {{Dojikko}}: A good reason why Tiana doesn't want Naveen in the kitchen alone.

'''Tropes that appear in the fic''':

* [[spoiler:TangledFamilyTree]]: Oh, where to begin?

* ShallowLoveInterest: Averted; each vignette is pretty short, but the ones centering around the earlier Disney princes (who are often criticized as such) manage to give them as much depth as the space allows.

* LoveAtFirstSight: Melody and Alphonse ([[spoiler:Belle and Henri's son]]), to the point Melody's mother is surprised. And knowing [[TheLittleMermaid Ariel]], that says a ''whole'' lot.

** Oscar, the prince from ''{{Cinderella}}'', is also portrayed as this... until he met his bride-to-be at that one ball.
