"Cinder" is Marie Sexton m/m romance version of Cinderella. So all the familiar characters are present and accounted for if slightly altered.
Evil sisters. A Prince. A witch. A peasant boy.
So after a chance meeting with the Prince, Eldon Cinder quickly become infatuated. Several days pass and finds out the Prince's father is throwing a ball to find his wife. Of Course, Cinder being a boy can't go. He just wishes he could say a last goodbye.
Now this is where It get a little iffy.
(show spoiler)
Now we all know how the story ends. And they live Happily Ever After.
This is definitely a case for "Comfort Read." Make my heart just a little happier.
