Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
A Jianghu Fairytale by das_kabinett
Beautiful, clever, wistful. Restrained, just like the movie. I especially like the thread of telling stories, and how stories become truths and vice versa.

Fairy Tales
In a Dark Wood by sheldrake
Another take on Beauty and the Beast, beautifully done, full of evocative details and emotions, and spare, lyrical prose. I especially like the uncertainty and surreality of Beauty's time in the enchanted castle, and the surety of the last line.
Rough Diamond by Lyrstzha
"You will marry me," he growled without preamble, looming over her ominously. He added a snarl that showed his wickedly long, sharp teeth.
"I don't think so," Belle replied pleasantly. "But would you please pass me the potatoes?"
Wonderful retelling of Beauty and the Beast

The Tempest
Genesis by Fahye
She leaks magic from every pore, and one day either she will master it or it will dissolve her entirely. Ariel, trying to get free, and the languages that entangle him. Shivery good.
