The Story 
Once upon a time...there was a young, beautiful queen in the land of Happily Ever After. One day while sewing, she pricked her finger and three drops of blood fell onto white virgin snow. The Queen knew then that she would give birth to two children and then die.
The first was born in the summer when the roses bloomed with hair as red as her spilled blood. She named him Rose Red. The Queen was sickly and weak after giving birth and never seemed to regain her strength, though her beauty, her smile, and her kindness never faltered. Three years later in the middle of winter, the Queen gave birth again to a child that shared her white, snowy hair. She named him Snow White and then died.
The heart broken king fell in love with a widowed Queen from the neighboring kingdom with a son of her own, the Prince Charming. The two married and the new Queen became the boys' Step-Mother, bringing her magical mirrors to the castle. Rose Red hated his new Step-Mother and her son who he believed stole his place as heir to the kingdom. He grew up to be an angry, bitter young man. Snow White loved his kind, brave new step-brother, but could never get the love he wanted from Rose Red or his wicked Step-Mother who was jealous of the young prince's beauty and ordered everyone in the castle to turn their backs on him.
Eventually, the two princes ran away to the forest, away from their cruel Step-Mother. The brothers fought, Rose Red's jealousy that his brother shared their mother's face tearing the two apart. Snow White returned home and the wicked Queen killed him. His body was placed in the forest in a beautiful crystal glass coffin. Rose Red, repentant, came back for his brother and mourned his death. He tried to save him, knowing the old legends of a Prince's kiss, and woke his brother back to life.
The two argued again, Rose Red returning to Happily Ever After to kill the wicked Queen and take his revenge. He poisoned her and as she died, the King of the land crumbled into dust, her magic the only thing animating him after she had secretly killed him years before. With his only friends, the three bears, Rose Red began to rebuild his kingdom and learn how to be a good, honest, loyal ruler.
Snow White went north to the lands of the Ice Prince, an evil sorcerer who gathered together the hated creatures of all the realms. The wolves, the trolls, the goblins, the giants. All the races humans had driven from their kingdoms. With his army and his powerful magics, the Ice Prince planned to freeze the lands and destroy all kingdoms, letting his army take control of the world. Snow White killed the wicked Prince, becoming the new Snow Prince of the North. With his new position, he ended the war and began building a safe, protected kingdom for all the hated creatures, giving them a new home where humans could not touch them.
After a trip North to visit his brother and repair their relationship, Rose Red met a certain scandalous low ranking invisible guard...and had quite the fling, though the fling quickly turned into something more.
heart Luckily, when Rose returned to his kingdom, a certain guard decided to come with him.
