***PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU COMMENT ANYTHING (update in 2018): I started this fanfic three years ago, BEFORE QUEEN OF SHADOWS WAS RELEASED. Therefore, PLEASE stop commenting about how I don't know what happened in Queen of Shadows and Empire of Storms, or how my story ignores that. The war is over, and Aelin has restored the mighty kingdom of Terrasen, building a new city and a new palace, with a new court that included her most trusted members, Aedion Ashryver and Rowan Whitethorn. Since Dorian is the King now, Aelin decides to visit Adarlan to discuss treaties, and also to visit him. Rowan is to join her, while Aedion is staying back. Reunited with Chaol Westfall, the handsome Captain of the Guard and an old romantic interest of Aelin's, the spark between them might just reignite. But is it just a fling and fun affair? After all, she couldn't possibly marry a man of Adarlan, and she did not exactly imagine a forever with Chaol anymore. And as for the Fae prince, Rowan Whitethorn...well HE is just hopelessly in love with his queen, who did not seem the least bit interested in him - too busy hooking up with the Captain of the Guard to notice Rowan's longing looks. Will Aelin ever realise Rowan's feelings for her, and will Rowan learn to control himself and patiently wait? Patience and control were never part of the game - for either of them. So it all comes rushing to them, all at once. And how will that turn out? Perhaps just beautiful. ** Although this is a Rowaelin fan fiction, it also includes a lot of Chaolaena. This would also probably be a short story, around ten chapters (but maybe more hehe). Characters and places belong to the beautiful and talented Sarah J. Maas. Hope you enjoy.

Not all spirits are Guardians. Jack Frost didn't start out as a Guardian, and Pitch Black definitely isn't one. The truth is: there are thousands of spirits we'll never know about. Spirits that linger just around every other corner, eyes shining when someone looks their way only to sigh in resignation when they notice the person is not in fact staring at them, but through them. Some special spirits are immortalized into deities, such as Mother Nature and Father Time. Others are feared- Pitch Black, for instance. And then there are the Guardians: spirits whose purpose in their after-lives is to keep children smiling. Keep them giggling. The Guardians were founded for joy! Or so it seems to every spirit, even the saddest spirit of all. But do they really understand what the Man-in-the-Moon has planned for them? Do they truly grasp the concept of what it means to be a "Guardian"? {I do not, unfortunately, own Rise of the Guardians (RotG). I only own my characters, my plot, and my legends.} Book 1/2
