His eyes shone in the candle light, and yet he could find no words. He pushed open the door haphazardly, melding his lips to hers in an instant. Her door clicking shut behind him. He pressed her against the worn oak, his hands remaining steadfast on her waist. It was everything he wanted and everything he couldn't have.

TOG & ACOTAR crossover *Spoilers: EOS & ACOWAR* Set after A Court of Mist and Fury and immediately following the events of Empire of Storms, this fan fiction alternates characters' points of view from both series and follows an alternate ending of EOS (elaboration in introduction). What will the Night Court do when a strange, magical stone with no history falls in their hands? --Along with a sadistic queen from another world who's looking for it? And how will they react when a fiery young woman from a land called Terrasen unintentionally brings her battle to Prythian? Will Aelin be able to find the wyrdkeys and get back to Terrasen without making any more enemies? How will she convince the dark high lord to let her leave? And what will she do if he insists on following her home? Follow along as worlds collide, battles intersect, and magics intertwine. All character and setting rights reserved to author Sarah J. Maas.

For decades, Aelin Ashryver Galathynius and Rowan Whitethorn have ruled the Kingdom of Doranelle, passing the governance of Terrasen to her cousin, Aedion, and his descendants. Since her defeat of Queen Maeve more than 100 years ago, Aelin has lived in relative peace, until nightmare-like prophecies of an unknown threat begin to plague her dreams. Feyre and Rhysand defeated the King of Hybern several years ago. Prythian has thrived under the semi-cooperative leadership of the seven High Lords (and one High Lady), but a dark force has been gathering to the West, and as events transpire, it becomes more and more clear that a long lost prophecy must be fulfilled before Prythian can finally be at peace once more. Aidan Meara Ashryver Havilliard has been groomed since childhood to inherit the throne of Adarlan, but at the age of sixteen, she is both sickly and frail, wasting away from an illness that no healer in Erilea has been able to diagnose. When an aunt, long thought dead, resurfaces with information that offers an answer to the disease as well as information about threats to the South, Aidan must make a decision that could affect not only Adarlan or even Erilea but two entirely different worlds.
