In RWBY fairy tales fanfiction, a common theme is to give the RWBY characters new challenges based on fairy tale tropes. A fanfiction could have Ruby going on a quest like in the story of Jack and the Beanstalk, climbing a huge tower in the RWBY world to retrieve something important. And there are also those that explore the backstories of RWBY characters through the lens of fairy tales, making for very engaging reads.
Some RWBY fairy tales fanfiction might involve characters from RWBY in classic fairy tale scenarios with a twist. For example, Blake could be in a story inspired by The Pied Piper, but instead of rats, she's leading the Grimm away from a village. Or Yang could be in a King Midas - like story, where her power has an unexpected connection to the Midas touch concept. There are so many creative ways to combine RWBY with fairy tales in fanfiction.
One interesting RWBY fairy tales fanfiction could be a retelling of Cinderella but set in the RWBY universe. Maybe Ruby is the Cinderella figure, with her red cloak as her signature item. Another could be a Snow White - like story where Weiss takes on the role of Snow White, and the Grimm are like the evil forces in the fairy tale. There are also fanfictions that blend multiple fairy tales, like mixing elements of Little Red Riding Hood and Beauty and the Beast in the RWBY world.
One interesting fairy tale is 'Cinderella'. It's about a kind - hearted girl who is mistreated by her stepmother and stepsisters but finally gets to go to the ball with the help of her fairy godmother and marries the prince. Another is 'Snow White'. The beautiful Snow White is envied by the wicked queen and runs away into the forest, where she meets seven dwarfs. Eventually, she is awakened by a prince's kiss.
One idea could be a story where a fairy - type Pokemon befriends a group of lost Pikachu and helps them find their way home. It could involve using its magic powers to protect them from various threats in the forest.
The story of the Minotaur is also well - known. It was a half - man, half - bull creature that lived in a labyrinth on the island of Crete. Theseus bravely entered the labyrinth to slay the Minotaur and save his people from having to sacrifice to it.
In 'The Twelve Dancing Princesses', the sisters share a mysterious secret of dancing at night. They are all princesses and their story is full of magic and mystery.
There might be a story where a Bengali boy befriends a talking parrot. The parrot takes him on an adventure to a hidden kingdom in the clouds. In this new kingdom, there are all kinds of strange and wonderful creatures, and the boy has to solve a series of puzzles to return home safely. This story can teach kids about problem - solving and friendship.
In some fairy tales, grandmas are often depicted as kind and wise. For example, in 'Little Red Riding Hood', the grandma is the one being visited by Little Red Riding Hood. It shows a relationship of love and care, with the grandma being a symbol of family and the older generation's wisdom.
Well, 'Hansel and Gretel' can be a bedtime story too. It's about two siblings who outwit a wicked witch. Although it has some scary parts, it also shows the cleverness of the children. And the fact that they ultimately escape and return home safely can be reassuring for a child before sleep.
There is also the idea of a grandma protecting her grandson from an evil force. She uses her experience and love to keep him safe, like hiding him in a secret place in the forest when a dark wizard is on the prowl.
A great modern day fairy tale story is 'Stardust' by Neil Gaiman. It tells the story of a young man named Tristan who crosses a wall into a magical land called Faerie to find a fallen star for the girl he loves. The story has all the elements of a classic fairy tale like magic, quests, and strange creatures. Then there's 'The Snow Child' which is based on a Russian fairy tale but set in a more modern Alaskan frontier. It's a beautiful and somewhat melancholy story about a child made of snow coming to life. Also, 'The Tale of Despereaux' is a modern take on the fairy tale genre, following the adventures of a small mouse in a big castle filled with knights, princesses and danger.
A retold 'Cinderella' short story. This could be about how Cinderella manages to stay positive in her difficult situation. It may highlight her relationship with the animals in a more detailed way. Maybe the mice are not just there to help her get dressed, but they are her true friends who give her emotional support throughout her tough days.
