Fandom: Fairy Tales
Pairings: Various canon Prince/Princess pairings
Genre: Friendship, Relationships, Meta
Length: Short (Words: 1,820)
Author's Summary:
In which the princesses, post-fairy-tale, mix and mingle and sort out their lives. Slight hating on Rapunzel (who is actually a favourite fairy tale character, but in this version she's a little bit of a mess).
Review:
This fic deconstructs the fairy tale princess genre, taking it to task for what it puts princesses through and the kinds of virtues we require of our princesses despite them. I especially love the part about stories being the only way that the princesses have to relate to people. I also like the part about Cinderella coaching her prince on how she wants her story to be told. These are great as deconstructions and the meta aspect - a story about stories and what they do to people - also appeals to the anthropologist in me since I've been working on the roles of stories lately.
