The Ever After Undoing

Choose a fairy tale with a traditional ‘happily ever after’ and write an untold sequel where things didn’t quite turn out so perfectly.

Life doesn’t always offer us a ‘happily ever after’, making these fairytale endings often feel unrealistic. So, write a post-fairytale story with recognizably real problems you might face today. This prompt invites engagement with real struggles, the aftermath of joyous occasions, and the less glamorous side of the ‘ever after’.
