*Tangled the Series fanfic btw* In this alternate universe, everything could have been nearly the same as the original. But something went wrong. During the fight in Old Corona, Varian was impaled by a black rock (oh so original Alonna). But he's been cursed to know follow Rapunzel where ever she goes. But only she could see him. Through his death, could they become friends again? Or were they destined to be enimies?

This is my take on the idea of a Varian spin-off series of Tangled: The Series/Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure. The AU was presented to Disney by storyboarders Kay Ritter and Anna Lencioni who took a liking to Varian's character and decided to create a story for him in his later years; detailing the adventures he might go on and the friends he makes along the way. I'll likely take a lot of inspiration from other fans too and I think that's what's great about vat7k, we all inspire each other with our ideas! :) This is probably gonna be a long one, hope you enjoy!!

It's been two years since the defeat of Zhan Tiri. Varian spends peaceful life in Old Corona and occationally travelling to the capitol to see his friends and for his duties as a royal engineer. After everything that had happened Varian can't but feel little out of place and uncertain of who he should be. Then he gets an old journal from his father as a 18th year gift. Varian leaves Corona to find himself. He tries to find out what happened to his mother, who suddenly vanished in her research journey. Varian makes new friends and few enemies on his way to find the truth about his mother. Basically my version of Varian and the seven kingdoms and what I think could've happened. I have also been posting this same story on AO3. If you want to read it there, you can find it as Varian Trial Adventure by IdeaBird. I don't own the cover! Credits for the artist!
