#2: Initial revision
Stories for adults, based on, or including elements of fairy tales, are quite common. For example, Neil Gaiman's _Snow, Glass, Apples_ is a retelling of _Snow White_, with an evil vampire Snow White and a necrophiliac prince. "Not for children" doesn't begin to cover how dark and creepy that story is. I would say, this trope is so common, **there's no reason why your readers would expect the story to be for children** , unless some weird decision by the publisher makes them think otherwise.
