Once upon a time, there was a prince. She was a girl. Tabitha has been raised as a prince her whole life, a role at which she is talented, but has never been comfortable with. When a visiting Storyteller steals a magical artifact, she pursues him on her mother's order. She corners the Storyteller, and he confesses that he needs the artifact, which is actually Excalibur, to complete the King Arthur tale stalled by the sword's absence. But when she finds out that the fairy tales are controlled by unbending Laws and everyone can be drawn into roles they didn't choose, she realizes that things aren't as simple as she once thought. <><><> Updates Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays
