Hyper specific and genuine question: Are there any good subversions of Peter Pan?
If you're going to tell a story a billion times you might as well add a new twist. But most subversions do the same twist: Peter is a villain and Hook is a hero. It's not even subverting expectations anymore, it is the expectation.
The only example I can think of is Hook which while not perfect does have a unique twist: What if Peter Pan grew up and lost his wonder and imagination?
Besides that I can't think of any good Peter Pan stories that aren't faithful retellings or a hero villain role swap.

Twelve Dancing Princesses by Marianna Mayer
Illustrated by Kinuko Y. Craft
William Morrow, March 1989
For generations, children have loved the enchanting story of the twelve beautiful princesses and the handsome young lad who solves the mystery of their tattered shoes.
Now Marianna Mayer brings to life all the splendor and romance of this beloved classic, from the dazzling forests Of silver, gold, and diamonds to a twilight palace where the bewitched princesses dance to hypnotic music. And award-winning artist Kinuko Craft add, her own magic: a visual feast of exquisite, jewel-like paintings that sweep across the pages.
Together, Mayer and Craft have created an unforgettable world that readers of all ages will want to return to again and again.

🕊️ The Happy Prince and Other Tales by Oscar Wilde (1888)
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
“There is no mystery so great as Misery.”
—The Happy Prince
In 1888 Oscar Wilde published five short stories meant for children, but whose morals can be read and understood by all ages. I do think that the titular story of The Happy Prince is the best in the collection, but my second favorite would have to be the second story, The Nightingale and the Rose because it made me feel such visceral feelings as the Nightingale only wants to help facilitate love.
