Ever since I was little I've always loved fairy tales, but I've long since grown out of the crap that Disney has spun for us (not that I don't like Disney, but still-). I realized that Disney twists The Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Anderson, and such to fit their children viewers. And with them it's all the prince saving the princess, boy falls in love with girl, and they all live happily ever after.

Sooner rather than later I realized that I preferred stories in which the characters have to jump through hoops of fire to reach their destination and the ones that they love- and the love doesn't always work out. I found that having the characters almost die two or three or eight times along the way made for a more interesting story and plot line, and those created by our lovely, four, evil, Japanese mangaka were the best.

I also found that I preferred a boy saving a boy, or both of them go off together on an adventure to do. . . something, and find their love on the way. it might just be the musings of a silly, young girl, but by the fact that your reading this then you must agree with me at least a little bit.

Because, I mean, come on! Who reads this stuff if it they don't like it?

Warning: Swearing, yaoi in later chapters, misled plot by just a little bit, probably ruining your fairy tales, sarcasm on my part, so on and so forth.

Disclaimer: I just own the plot not the characters. Although I reallllllly want the characters, and if anyone can contact CLAMP and get them to sell them to me, tell me.

And if anyone has read the new update of Drug & Drop- holy crap, what is up with that! I want the next chapter!

Read, review, and fangirl on!

By the way- the real name of the story is Falling Into Wonderland (Oh, wait! I'm not Alice, so where the hell are we?) but they wouldn't let me write all of that in the title. though most of the time I refer to it as FIW.

Once upon a time in a world called London, well, rather London was a city in the greater scheme of things, there lived a boy named Alice. But for the sake of our story, lets call him Kazahaya. Anyway, Kazahaya had and elder sister by the name of Kei, and Kei had just finished a relaxing morning of reading aloud that Kazahaya had found incredibly boring and had wholeheartedly ignored. Now passing into that early afternoon- shortly after twelve o' clock pm and long before tea time, Kazahaya was taking a stroll in the gardens to shake off some of the early morn fatigue and came across a rabbit. Now a rabbit is not uncommon to see in such a place as a garden seeing as they like to eat the flowers and generally make their homes there, but Kazahaya noted that there was something very peculiar about this rabbit. Peculiar as such as it was wearing a black uniform, carried a watch, wore glasses, and was all around muttering about dinner preparations, alcohol intake, and being held up and now late by some 'jerk'.

Kazahaya, feeling some otherworldly force guiding him, set off after the rabbit and quickly found himself tripping over a conveniently placed rock, into a conveniently placed hole, which probably led to a conveniently placed abyss- which is where Kazahaya's spirits were currently residing with this new turn of events. Now Kazahaya had always been a very practical boy- he looked both ways before he crossed the street, but he had failed to see the danger in a white rabbit muttering to itsel. . .

Wait, wait, wait! Hold up a second! This is the WRONG bloody story! I mean, LOOK at the title: Falling Into Wonderland (Oh, wait! I'm not Alice, so where the hell are we?) NOT Alice- so clearly this is NOT an Alice in Wonderland story. In all truth, this is a Cinderella story- meaning there are NO dark mysterious holes, and NO handsome men with guns and bunny ears. It's just NOT a part of the plot! So lets get back on track, shall we?

Ahem. . . Once upon a time, in a kingdom way farther away than most, lives a king and his son- the prince. Now the prince has a name, and well, so does the king, but seeing as the prince is a main character in the midst of this plot it's probably better to introduce him first. As for his name well, against the whole Disney 'Prince Charming' thing- it's Rikuo.

And in this kingdom there also lived a beautiful, effeminate boy named Kazahaya- who was sometimes known as 'Cinderella', but that was for reasons unknown seeing as he lived a very comfortable life with his Step'mother', Stepfather, 'Evil' Stepsister #1, 'Evil' Step'sister' #2, and was only called that by bratty children in the village that as a consequence got punched on the head by an angry Kazahaya whenever they called him Cinderella within his earshot.

Anyway, the prince. . . Rikuo was nearing his eighteenth birthday, and although he felt no pressure from his father to pick a bride (his father knowing before him which way he swung), he felt an almost overwhelming sense of urgency for it from the rest of the kingdom.

And this, my dear readers, is where the story. . . the REAL story begins. . . (Alice in Wonderland not included)

Yeah, that was just the introduction, we'll get to the actual story-line in the next chapter, thank you for your patience. Reviews are always welcome!
