Summary
Daring Charming always knew his story: be the perfect prince, save the perfect princess, live the perfect happily ever after.
But when destiny suddenly shifts beneath his feet, the golden boy of Ever After finds himself unraveling.As the world around him clings to the roles he’s always played, Daring is forced to confront the one thing he’s never been allowed to question — who he is when he isn’t the Charming everyone expects.
Caught between crumbling expectations, a destiny he no longer fits, and a girl who sees him more clearly than he sees himself, Daring begins a journey through doubt, grief, and unexpected hope.
A retelling of the five stages of grief through Daring’s eyes — slow-burn, introspective, and full of heart — as he discovers that losing the story he thought he wanted may lead him to the one he actually needs.

Takes place right after Epic Winter. No, I haven't read any books, just the show. So I apologise if some characters may appear off. This is how I wanted to portray them in this story, and hopefully still appear in canon.
