"Once upon a time a single drop of sunlight fell from the heavens and from this small drop of sun grew a magic, golden flower. It had the ability to heal the sick and injured.
Well, centuries passed and a hop, skip, and a boat ride away there grew a kingdom. The kingdom was ruled by a beloved king and queen and the queen, well, she was about to have a baby. But she got sick. Really sick. She was running out of time and that's when people usually start to look for a miracle, or in this case, a magic, golden flower.
The magic of the flower healed the queen. A healthy baby girl, a princess, was born with beautiful golden hair. To celebrate her birth the king and the queen launched a flying lantern into the sky, and for a while, everything was perfect."
Authors Note: This is just the basic premise for those who may not be quite as familiar with Tangled and it is taken almost directly from the beginning of the movie.
This fanfiction is going to be a slight reversal on Tangled. Disney made Mother Gothel completely evil, but I have a hard time believing that someone in Mother Gothel's position would be that evil. After all, she had been living for hundreds of years alone in the woods. Why would she even hoard the flower to keep living? It doesn't seem that she was doing anything useful or enjoyable with her life. So my question is what if Mother Gothel was framed? What if she isn't completely evil? I hope this will be a twist on the movie but still keep the main theme and most of the events of the movie in tact. The perspective will shift through the story, but I will try to make it clear whose view I am writing. If you like it, hate it, have ideas, or just generally want to comment, please feel free to pm me or leave a review. It may make me write faster.
Disclaimer: For those who aren't familiar with the concept of fanfiction, I didn't create Tangled. I do not own it or any of it's characters. Please do not make me post this every chapter; I think if it's on fanfiction it can be assumed that it is not completely original. Also, if I worked for Disney or wrote a story that people are writing fanfictions on, I think I would have better things to do then rewriting my story online to change what happens. Presumably I would write what I want to happen the first time. Just my thoughts…
