(#790 in fanfiction 2017-04-30) **I am including a spoiler warning for Empire of Storms and A Court of Mist and Fury. Both now have canon follow-ups, but just in case. NOTE: This story was written before ACOWAR and KoA came out, and therefore no events or plot points revealed in ACOWAR, ACOFAS or KoA were taken into account in this story. This includes relationship developments, power capabilities, characters not introduced until the aforementioned stories, or character developments. Please keep this in mind as you read. What would happen if Terrasen's queen met the high lady of the Night Court? Set after A Court of Mist and Fury and in a hypothetical situation where Aelin has destroyed Erawan and rules as Terrasen's queen. I do not own any of the characters or settings, they belong to Sarah J. Maas. Please note, there is some swearing. If you are uncomfortable with that then don't read it. COMPLETED MAY 2017

***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.
