And she was dancing on the castle's roof, a full moon shining above her, her body covered in red. She wasn't afraid of falling at all, taking every step with grace looking like a ballet dancer, her white dress swirling in the air following her movements. Nobody knew how long has passed since that little girl was alive, but during the full moon nights, she kept on dancing on that roof, piano playing a dark tune in the background, reminding everyone of the tragedy that took place in that empty castle many years before.

*DEAR FAIRYTALE:* I discovered something. That broke my heart and soul. The world has turned upside down, the colors had watere down and the sound muted itself. Snow White was a vampire. Stealing men's blood by luring them with her innocence and eating their hearts. Ariel, ascended as the Queen of Atlantis. Because of her broken heart, she ordered to all human ships to be destroyed. Bella, wishing to be the hero, killed the Beast and used his fur as clothes. However, the curse merely passed unto her. A new beast. Cinderella, decided to burn down her house, with her ste-mother and step-sister trapped inside. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Alice, managed to escape Wonderland. But her mind was bonkers, unable to see what's reality and what's fantasy.

[@mango_chipmunk2498]

It... it wasn't supposed to be like this... The tale of Snow White. Everyone knows it. A beautiful young girl with hair as black as night, lips as red as blood, and skin as white as snow. The young girl who was the fairest one of them all. Who lived with seven dwarves who cherished her. Who died young but was brought back to life with a true love's kiss. I became Snow White. I was so sure I was going to have a happy ending. A happy ending married to a prince, surrounded by people I love who also loved me. But life is unfair. And the tale of Snow White suddenly became darker and far more bloody. Darker than the hair of Snow White. Bloodier than the lips of Snow White. As reality settled in, it felt like the room grew colder, freezing cold. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I continued to shake. Looking down revealed the blood on my hands and on my dress. I... didn't mean to kill him. I... I had to kill him. The rest could come home at any moment. Thinking fast I ran out the back of the cottage, grabbing the small corpse and a shovel on the way, and ran deep into the forest. I dug a fresh hole in the ground, hoisting the corpse into the hole. After burying the body, I thought back to the events prior to this. I didn't mean to kill... In fact, this should have never happened! And yet, here I am, beside two dirt mounds. Mounds that cover the terrible deed I've done. I... I killed them... I didn't mean to... I... I had to... I... I had to make sure that... That the story... That I could gain my... Happy ending...

P.O.V "I never thought that I could have you like this ...... like a fire in my arms, I did not think that even speck of light was mean for me" He said softly while my head was still on his shoulder ... He sounded happy, but there was a melancholic tone in his voice, I had gotten to know him well, since the first time I fell into one of his balls between life and death. A quick accident, a terrible confusion ... and suddenly I was in a world between worlds, a plase of darkness. I had fallen into the realm between life and death, without anyone or anything. Until a pair of deep eyes found me, scary at first he was just supposed to lead me to the other side but that didn't happen .... I found myself lost and scared in the presence of one of the sons of death, a prince of the limbo, but to my surprise he was kind ... and sweet and wanted to do good ... and as time went by with me in his company .... him, his good heart and kind demeanor, his white hair and smug smile, his tall frame, all of he ... became this warm place that I no longer wanted to leave ... I could have stayed comfortably still lean on his shoulder, reminiscent. ... but as i sigh at our past memories, he adverted my dispersion and rub his cheek on the top of my head, making me pull away from my thoughts. i let out a small giggle and hold him tight in response ... "I could dance in this limbo forever .. as long it is by your side" ...i finally said. But then there was a pause, and I could feel that my words were not a pleasant surprise as i would have hoped, because his posture changed beneath my arms. Until suddenly he grabbed my waist and made me took carefully a step back, causing our dancing to stop and breaking our embrace "but .. I want you to live" - he said with his gaze fixed on me ... "no ...." - I pronounce under my breath, in almost a whisper ....... are you.. are you going to send me back? - i asked with a note of panic in my voice He looked at me with sadness, and for a second It seemed that doubt could peak through his eyes ... but promptly shook his head ... "we both know that you came back here because of the consequences that accident left on you" ... "But also that time you left to return to the living world was the right thing to do." "But no" .."no" ! ... "I won't .." - I raised my voice trying to protest, but he cut me off .. "I want you" - he said softly - .. "i want you to run under the sun, i want you" ... "to see those beautiful sunsets that you have told me so much about". - and continued - "I want your beautiful face to be illuminated by the flowers that you can discover while walking the earth" .... "And you know there won't be another chance, although ...... "I wouldn't mind breaking the rules a thousand times for you" - he paused and stroked my hair, as he offer a cheeky smile ... "But I know you, lovely" ... "and I know how much you love life, tell me then that I am not right" ... "that you will not miss it" ... - he finally concluded. My words got stuck in my throat, no matter how much I wanted to deny it he was right ... i loved life and everything in it, i really loved it .. and even when he was by my side ther was a tiny and deep part of me missed her so much. However, seeing him before me made me realize .... there was something more important than I, making a choice only for me , what really made my words got stuck ..... Even though I could give up the living world for him, how could I stay without him breaking the rules? ..... He wanted me safe, could I offer the same if I stayed ? .... after all this place was just a step for any soul, not a permanent place. I had put him at risk before, my whole stay in the realm the first time was a big risk he took and continuing to do so could only make it worse, until unleashing great consequences or awaken the true evil that governed the realm ... his father, Death himself, who then would not hesitate to punish him. For a few seconds i remained immobile looking at nothing, hoping .. that i could find a solution scrambling every possibility for us to not be apart. It wasn't until I met his gaze and could see into his eyes that I knew it then ... I loved him .... as the resolution came to me, i finally lowered my head full of shame and tears ... I could not put him through that, I would not allow him to risk more... I got close to him once more and slowly put a hand over his cheek. "Could you run with me under the sun?" .... - i said at last hopeful, even when i knew what the answer would be A heavy smile escaped his lips and as he cupped my face said - "this shadow" - referring to himself -... "will always appear when you enjoy in the sun " "I love you" .. said he ... and as he lean to kiss me I was envolved between an icy wind and a bright light, and lost consciousness

A fellow lies in his grandmother's cabin bed. It is night and moonlight caresses his sleeping form. It does not take long for him to awake. Subtle sounds of a piano are heard from the nearby forest. He tiptoes to the front door and puts on his blue coat. His barefeet grow comfortable against the cool grass. Music seems to float across trees. He follows and it dances in the opposite direction. Deeper and darker does the forest grow. He has tread this path before. A cool and soothing breeze takes his hand and leads him further. There in a parting of trees is a young boy with wolfish ears playing on a piano of air. The blue coat falls to the ground and feet inevitable walk. They head towards this strange boy until they are stood beside him. The wolfish boy does not look up but speaks:" I had hoped you would like your lullabies." The stars knew, oh, the stars knew this tale would continue but instead of red and something new There remains the old, only tainted with blue.

The only true way to listen to this as you write is next to a warm fireplace and with rain tapping down onto the windows of your old, Victorian manor that you somehow inherited from a long distant relative you had no idea of. Completely unaware of the secret rooms and passages that lay in the walls, behind paintings and bookshelves. Maybe even a spirit or two haunting the halls of their old home, wondering why a new face has suddenly waltzed into their house uninvited. Sometimes you can still hear the faint echo of old parties in the dining hall, a quiet hum of what was the main entertainment spot, the static hiss of a gramophone echoing out into the rest of the manor at exactly Midnight. It may be an odd house, with it's quirks and creaky floorboards that always squeak when no one's near them. But you've decided to call it home, and maybe. . The spirits like you too.

The dramatic, magical, almost distant yet emotional tone that these take on reminds me of a particular period of my childhood. This was a time when I was much better at playing piano, because I had practiced more and gone to lessons, but the sounds on my cheaper piano were less clear and sounded old like the ones from these songs. I had a balcony that I would play next to with the door open, and the way the sounds echoed on a quiet evening or during rain felt so deep and magical. I usually would play in this melancholy tone - as if yearning for something far away, or walking across an old battlefield, or calling out to someone lost in a storm. This wasn't really the way I expected to feel from this video when I clicked it, but I feel nostalgic for that magical time. I would play for hours through the evening and into the night, as it rained especially. And when it wasn't raining the moonlight might've shined through my skylight (yes I had both a balcony and skylight 😭 I miss it) or the birds would respond to my song. And I would sing too. I would usually improvise, but I used to be able to sing with a richness and power back when I didn't have as much trouble with Asthma. Now my hand is too injured to play nonetheless practice - it's been far too long since I've been able to play songs like these. And I get out of breath quite easily, with my new health condition (in addition to Asthma) making me get real lightheaded and winded easily. And it feels like that time is hardly real now. I felt that way back then too. It was so beautiful, just to create music and sit in the timeless silence that followed, that it was almost mythical. So if you read this far, and you desperately want to have what I'm talking about you need these things: A piano (or comparable musical instrument) The ability to practice piano The ability to sing (optional) A skylight / large window / balcony (I imagine a large empty room would also fit) Quiet time A soul Optional: rain, moon and stars, or a nonhuman audience.

[@whiskeyrichards9973]

I'm very sorry to hear that your health has become fragile and limited your ability to do the things that you are passionate about doing, or is keeping you from doing them all together. I too am dealing with what my pulmonologist calls "late onset, severe and uncontrollable asthma" and it has greatly hampered my ability to be as involved in my artist work and recreational pursuits as I had been in the past. I still press on but have learned in a way, to live a different life. Everything has changed, from my diet, my sleep patterns, my relationships, my appearance (mainly due to the insane amount of prednisone I'm being forced to take in order to keep my airways opened). And yet in the face of all this, my passion for my artwork remains, much like your passion for music and playing the piano. Even when I was broadsided by the diagnosis of a secondary disease that has parallels with asthma (Churg Strauss syndrome) I have a desire to keep creating and imagining and dreaming. If anything, I can live the life I want vicariously through my artwork. I hope you find a way to keep doing the things love, even when you don't feel quite so lovely. I wish you the very best and I do hope you'll see improvement in your health. Best regards.

I can totally relate to this😭 During my childhood, i would get hospitalized alot due to my fragile heath but it didn't stop me from my goals of becoming an animator and artists. At that time, I hoped my health would be strong enough and i would imagine fairytales while I'm stuck at bed But now... I'm a teenager, my health is becoming stronger. My mental health is the one getting weaker, i would get bullied and left alone. Now i daydream of being in a fairytale to escape the harshness instead of getting out of bed 🤎

I was sick constantly as a kid, but that tapered off in middle school, and I've been through a lot of crap. I live in the middle of nowhere, in the woods of Western Montana. When I was in middle and high school, I would take my guitar, and go play emotional songs on a large rock on a hill in the woods behind my house. I would sing the lyrics like Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody "I don't wanna die. Sometimes wish I'd never been born at all." I'd just pour my soul, my sadness, my pain into it. That's what I did to cope with the crap, but I'd also turned to self harm as well. I'm three years clean from cutting, and I'm going on four years with my SO. I don't really play anymore. But that's ok. As we grow, our circumstances and our needs change. It's ok to let go of things, but never forget them. I wish you health and luck in all of your endeavors. Never forget: you are not alone.

[@phoenixwing5133]

I know exactly what you mean. I'm so sorry to hear that your health has kept you from music. I've been connected with music my entire life. My mom playing music while I was in the womb, my dance lessons that I took from age 2 to 11, getting into band when I entered middle school and learning to play the flute, getting into marching band and the top band at my high school, etc. And then suddenly I graduated and it all stopped. I don't practice my flute or piano anymore. I haven't played since I fell into a deep pit of depression in 2020 after my dog died. I haven't picked up anything since and it's slowly chipping away at me as this is the first time in my life when I haven't been connected to music like I used to be. Now all I can do is sit on the deck we have in the backyard, trying to think how the hell I'm going to get my life together so I can support myself. I'm doing nothing. I'm not in school, I'm not working, I don't have my driver's license since I'm fighting severe driving anxiety (I don't get anxious like ever lol). I'm falling into anti social habits again and pushing people away. My parents and I talked about therapy but haven't taken any action. Thank you for bringing that mystical feeling back by describing your childhood. There's something so different about making your own music and expressing yourself. Y'all that have commented here are such cool people and it's nice to not feel alone.

•|The Eternal Garden|• Under the moon, it seemed as if she was a moonchild. Saying that she was beautiful would be an understatement. She was gorgeous. The way she danced under the moonlight in the Eternal Garden was full of elegance. It was majestic, magnificent and......captive. She danced ever so gracefully, it captivated the eyes of the Prince Kael, the Prince of death. His eyes followed every moment of the young maidan who danced in the garden, amid the lilies, in her own world. What was the music for her? The sound of the breeze passing by or the leaves shaking. Was it the voice of the night's little creatures or the wolves howling far away? The young maiden heard some quite steps, moving towards her. She stopped. Her eyes were still closed and she took a deep breath. The very first thing she saw opening her honey brown eyes were black hair that were difficult to differentiate from the night. And then she met the pair of golden eyes. And it's owner asked,"What is it, making you dance?" The young maiden smiled and answered, "The happiness that can't reside within my heart has came out as music, sir." His eyes sparkled. He was curious to know about it all a little more. But he knew the best was to stop here. "Would you like to be a part of my happiness, sir?" Her sweet voice asked. "Strangers, My lady" She chuckled and settled the hair that fall on her face dur to wind. She extended her hand and said, "Hazel." Prince Kael parted hia lips to say something but stopped. He smiled and took her hand, kissed it and twirl her around. She was taken aback, but soon smiled and enjoyed the moment. It was a perfect moment. Under the moonlight, in the Eternal Garden, amid the lilies, two youths dancing with the music of happiness. But a little closure look and one would know what happened at that starry night. The graceful dance soon took a wild turn. Because at last, just a moment spent together can't chage anything. And he stabbed her. And she smiled, for she saw it coming. How could have she thought of surviving? She knew what was coming and she expected it. Silent tears rolled down on the cheeks, of the Prince. He knew he was wrong but what he was made for, he had to do it. The young maiden gave a bittersweet smile and said goodbye to the world. And for the centuries and centuries ahead, the youths danced in the Eternal Garden under the moonlight amidst the lilies. The lilies full of blood.

"Tell me how much it hurts." "It hurts, okay?! Please, let me go!" "Scream for me." The screams echoed between the academy walls. Echoes of deathly cries. The sound of a life slipping through someone's fingers, with nobody there to catch it, or return it to its rightful owner. "You did not have to kill him." "He was weak. Weaklings die." "You are heartless, Milo." A cry for help at night, desperately into the moonlight. Perhaps they hoped for rebels to breach the gate. Or maybe they prayed for some divine intervention. There came none. "Well done, Milo, well done. Let their fear drive you." As the twisted aplaud, the lost move on, into a realm they hardly understand. Into a life they hardly ever wanted. "There is no way out! There is only blood!" "Please, Milo, with you on our side we could break ou-" A pleading noise, as the breath left the victim's body. A soft whimper at the face of death, but he was merely there to relieve him of the pain, not punish it. "There is no way out! You learn the ways of the Blood Moon, learn the ways of Death, and dominate the enemy, it is the only way!" "You have changed, and not one bit for the better." "You dare speak that way to me?" "To a friend? No. And you know what? Maybe once you were a friend, but you are mere prey to your own mind." The sound of a soul shattering, a heart breaking, a mind twisting. Not entirely his fault, yet partially his choice. "Milo." "Uncle." "I am sorry to say this. But if you will not join us, then I must otherwise remove you from the equation." "You never cared about me." "That is not true." "Then where were you when the gates fell?!" "The seekers got to you first. I was close, but not close enough." "You failed." And now I must succeed where nobody could.

The darkness was inviting. Her heart soared and her smile grew when she saw what she believed to be the outline of his body. Each step quickened until she found herself sprinting towards him. He turned and the truth was revealed. It was him, but not in appearance. Not anymore. He had given up his physical humanity so she can live a happy life. A human life. But he would be lying if he wasn't happy to see her again. His existence in this realm was a lonely one. One where he could only watch from the side, unable to interact with the world that was once his home. The last resemblance of his human form were his eyes. It gave her a sense of peace as they embraced. Just for a minute, time seemed to stop and their empty lives weren't cold anymore. Happy? Not a Wattpad or Ao3 writer but here ya go!

I loved listening to this tracklist! Set deep in the woods where a girl and a boy spend their time speaking of supernatural creatures. The funny thing is that the girl (she's the protagonist, by the way) doesn't believe in the supernatural but will over time. Sets the mood for the book I'm working on.

[@lemonskrap8240]

The full moon rose as the girl dressed in red began to dance upon the roof, not caring if she slipped nor fearing it. As she danced gracefully she sang a soft yet dark melody. Her eyes as bright as the Moon and her white hair glistened in the moonlight. Her dress crimson red decorated with red pearls, silk ribbon and roses twirled as she danced. As the song she sang howled as though a wolf crying to the Moon. She appeared every full moon to remind the people of the tragedy that befell her in that castle so, so long ago. Reminding them of a tragedy. Her voice like a siren pulled the darkest memories from one's mind and reminded them of the most horrible tragic things that have happened to them.

Run. That’s all that I can think about. Cracks of wood and dried leaves are heard below my feet. I’m tired and disoriented... But I don’t care. I have been waiting for the day to escape that horrid palace for weeks. I left in the night time when 𝗵𝗲 was asleep. Or at least I thought 𝗵𝗲 was asleep. I hear a voice screaming my name in the distance. Running faster my aching legs are about to give out. 'I can't give up now, not when I have made it this far. If I am caught...what would happen to me.' As I weave through the trees, a fork in the road appears. Left. I must go left. 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘵𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘭𝘭. It has to be left. Only shadows dominate the path. Making my way down the path, the voices grow smaller until they disappear completely. At the very end, a moonlight mansion - possibly centuries old - overcasts the land. ‘What is this?’ I thought this was my passage to freedom. Moss and ivy grow along the towering, grey stone wall. ‘This feels familiar. Like I’ve been here before…’ 𝘍𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘩 All my surroundings vanish. Brilliant sunlight streams down as a young boy leads me through the lovely garden of the mansion. ‘I missed this,’ ‘Wait’ ‘Missed what? These aren’t my memories.’ Laughter and birds fill the air as I continue to follow him deeper into the green of the garden. I glance up and see the mansion with pristine grey stones. “-thia” “Elithia” Startled, I look back to the boy. His face is blurred but just looking at him feels so... comfortable. Like he meant everything to me. ‘But…why is his face smearing.’ Everything starts to smear into a black mess. Not a trace of the recent ethereal moment was left. I jolted back, peering up at the starless night sky. Realizing I was on the ground, I quickly got up and everything was just as it was before. Gloomy, dull, and utterly abandoned. The walls of the mansion were worn and chipped. ‘What was that? 𝘞𝘩𝘰 was that?’ “Elithia…” I whispered to myself. ‘I know that name. Where have I heard that name?' I expelled the senseless thought and searched for the door to the mansion. ‘Maybe there will be some place to sleep here.’ Seeing the door, I open it as it creaked from disuse and let it close when I entered. 𝘚𝘭𝘢𝘮 And thus, my story began.

Why is this music so lovely and calm, and yet dreadfully suspicious and suspenseful? Like someone somewhere is getting murdered outside the opera house while I get ready for the opera, blissfully unaware that I am the next target. Yet its also romantic and nostalgic and tragic and haunting like a sunbeam filtered through the dusty windows and curtains of a beautiful old house filled with echoes and memories.

The dark ballroom was dimly lit with candles. Chandeliers hung way above them. The Prince of Darkness held out his metallic clawed hand to Brianna. "May I have this dance?" His deep dark english accent was petrifying but... she took his hand. Her long black dress trailed behind her as they danced. He was quite gentle beside the fact that he was a killer, but then again, wasn't she also a killer? His face was hidden behind the black and white mask and her face was hidden behind a black lace mask. They waltzed the night away...

I've been working on a certain short story as of late. It's meant to be a darker take on Hansel and Gretel, and while I want it to be my own work and for it to have some elements of reality, I still want it to also have a sort of fairytale feeling to it. Now, I've seen this playlist floating around KZbin for some time now, but for some reason I've never actually listened to it before. I think now would be the perfect time, as this seems to be just the mood I'm going for with this particular story. :)

TW: Very scary and dark, Mentions of blood, Mentions of a dead body (You have been warned) Many wish to live in a romantic, bright, and beautiful fairy tale, ending with happily ever after. But I, being one of the strange, would love to imagine a fairytale like that, but with a twist. A prince/princess/other royalty driven by pain and the dissapointment their kingdom feels, runs to the woods, hoping they will find peace and find their long lost true love. Deeper and deeper into these woods they trot, feeling they almost get there. They feel the heart beat of their lover close by. They slowly see that something is not right with these woods. They had only been walking through there for what must've been 30 minutes, but it was dark as night. Little light seeped through the leaves. The world was in a strange tint of white, gray, black, and blue. The heart beat coming ever closer! They smiled, for their loser were so close they could almost feel them. They heard the lovers voice calling for them. They finally see their lover, and run closer. But when they stop in front of their prince/princess/other royalty, They see the blood soaking through their cloths. A black branch stabbing through their heart. They shriek, but their cries will go unheard. They see the sun light pass, day to night, night to day, it all passing by so fast. Their lovers body decaying, as the time moves. They go mad, and are trapped in these woods forever more. Forever more. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sorry that got so dark! I was trying to stick to the theme of Dark Fairytale. Really Really sorry if this scared anyone! I love being inspired to write by playlists, and well this inspired me. Tysm I love Dark Fairytales! Have a lovely day/night all my little Darlings and Spooksters! I love you all!- Spooks/Elio
