Sleeping Beauty becomes a knight
“Basic premise seems to be that Sleeping Beauty gets cursed, then has a little sister so she no longer has to worry about a succession crisis so she becomes a knight. You know, since they're REAL unlikely to prick themselves on a rose thorn since instead they're ducking swords.
Only one chapter out so far, but I'm super interested to see where this goes, especially since its got the queer tag on it. Not sure if shes going to save someone and then get saved herself or what!” - Robiyn

A Fun Re-imagining of Sleeping Beauty!
“I totally didn't imagine Sleeping Beauty as a knight. In fact, she was probably the last princess I imagined swinging a sword, so I'm delighted to see her get an upgrade here. And the evil queen is absolutely delicious. I'm not entirely sure if she's entirely evil, which makes her a great villain, but I'm sure she's got power and she's got a plan. Excellent story so far!” - rgroberts
