The story you are about to read is a version of the Disney movie Tangled, based upon the Brothers Grimm fairytale Rapunzel. The characters are the same, though some of their personalities have been changed to fit with a more adult theme that will be present throughout the story. Many of the plot points presented also have been changed, while many remain the same. For example, the journey that Flynn Rider and Rapunzel have to take into the royal city takes a month instead of just a few days.
Please note that I have taken the original story, combined with the Disney version, and added my own twist to it. While the characters carry the same names as their Disney counterparts, there's no guarantee that they'll be the exact same. With that said I do hope that I do them justice and give the reader a new understanding of who they are and who they could have been.
One important change in this story is, I like to think, the addition of two characters into the spot light. Pascal and Maximus in the Disneymovie had very small, somewhat background roles, whereas in this version they are pushed to the front and become main characters. The addition of the fact that they are, and have always been, human in this version helps to give them a better voice. I believe that Pascal and Maximus were not given enough credit for their roles in the Disney movie, and I'm pleased to be able to expand on their characters and make them, somewhat, my own.
It is a fact in this version that Mother Gothel is a witch, and always has been. Whereas in the Disney version it is rather hazy whether or not she actually has powers, Gothel uses her powers to the fullest extent in this version, and so should not be taken lightly.
And remember, dear reader, that things are not always what they appear to be.
Enjoy.
