   Summary

   Alex hates Sebastian – which is great because Sebastian more than returns the favour – and what starts out as revenge fantasy turns into unironic lust, which evolves into unrequited love. Alex gets a job, Sebastian marries the farmer, and both of them lose almost everything before finding each other again. A story of two mutual bullies who learn how to messily grow up.

   Summary

   This is the story of Rapunzel’s life in, and after, the tower. But there’s one crucial difference; Varian was born with moon powers, and Gothel stole him as a baby to be raised as Rapunzel’s little brother.

   Currently playing: Chapter Forty-Seven - so what do i do now? As Varian works to unravel the mystery of Rapunzel’s hair, Eugene’s plan for the Day of Hearts gets thrown for a loop when Rapunzel discovers that Cassandra has a secret boyfriend. A double-date couldn’t be that bad, right?
