Snow White: The Mirror’s Keeper
She survived the poison. The mirror didn’t.
The prince kissed her. The curse broke. Snow White awoke.
But the mirror in the Queen’s chamber cracked down the center — and something crawled out.
For years, Snow ruled with grace. The people loved her. Yet each time she looked into a mirror, she saw a flicker — a reflection smiling just a heartbeat too late.
One night, the reflection spoke.
“Do you miss her?”
“Who?”
“The woman who made you beautiful — by dying.”
The glass rippled. The reflection stepped through. It wore the Queen’s eyes, but Snow’s face.
“You wanted her gone,” it said. “Now I’m what’s left — the hunger behind the fairness.”
Snow tried to shatter the mirror, but the shards bled light.
By morning, only one queen remained.
No one knows which.

She hoped it was the latter, as she wanted the pair of them to get on, even if he wasn’t going out of his way to make it easy for her.

Of course there was enough wheeling and dealing for those who continued to work even when they should be playing.
