I love this more than any retold fairy tale I have ever read. This, THIS, is MY kinda fairy tale. Well done. Truly. Kudos, and 5 thumbs up, and a flagon of ale, and whatever else I can offer. Seriously, great job!

This was a great idea -- have Cinderella refuse the wish for herself!
There may be a typo in the line "be restored and I' live the rest of my days" -- should that be "I'll live"?

I really like what you did with this story, I didn't see it coming and it works beautifully.

I am such a sucker for any fairy tale where the "princess" takes control over her own agency.

Oh, excellent! I love that Eleanor knew what she wanted, and the wishmaker helped out the half sister and nudged the blacksmith's son instead, so as to give Eleanor the more ordinary life that she desired.
