@lindyryanwrites Briar Rose by Jane Yolen: Sleeping Beauty as Holocaust survivor. Less fantasy- or happy-ending based, and more grounded in grief. It retells the version of the tale where the whole kingdom still sleeps and only Sleeping Beauty and the prince awake. https://t.co/LyQvmMw1Is

wait you’re telling me Louisa May Alcott wrote Little Women in ten weeks, Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein based on a nightmare for a scary story contest with the girls, Hans Christian Andersen wrote The Little Mermaid while being a disaster bi when his friend/crush got married…

@sebmoron @LBShimaira I love weird/cozy horror fairy tales so one of my FAVES is The Merry Spinster by Daniel M. Lavery. Trans author, most of the retellings imply trans characters, & as I was rereading it I got strong aroace creature vibes instead of romantic endings. https://t.co/djN0cBVClp

@OhhhhSuzanna Absolutely! Right off the top of my head I highly recommend Loveless by Alice Oseman, and Let’s Talk About Love by Claire Kann. I’ve heard good things about Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger as well! Also Elizabeth Hopkinson has two: Asexual Fairy Tales, and Asexual Myths & Tales.

@sebmoron @LBShimaira Since it’s specifically an aroace coming of age story, LOVELESS by Alice Oseman is also one of my faves. Subverts so many romantic tropes, and focuses on friendship. Features a lesbian romance in the background but not as major as the main friendships. https://t.co/SO69KV3MLP
