Northern Lights (5sos AU Fanfic)

In this world, better known as the Lights Realm, people are born with their soul outside of their bodies in the form of a Familiar: animals that reflect a person's personality. This world is also made up of seven kingdoms. And each year these seven kingdoms send their oldest to the capitol city of Pearl City to remember the young Royals that were murdered over fifty years ago. A month long celebration is held within Pearl City's St. Claire castle but not all the commoners are pleased to have this many royals in one city.

Michael Clifford, a self proclaimed royal hater, is one of those people who isn't too much into celebrating. Living on his own after his family was murdered, Michael sneaks into the St. Claire castle to hang out with his best friend, Calum Hood who is the local Royal's stable boy. And unlike his friend, Calum is very excited for the Gathering each year so that he can see a certain curly haired prince, Ashton Irwin.

But something is different this year as a third born, Prince Luke Hemmings is allowed to take his absent brother's place in the Gathering. Things change for all four boys during this celebration in ways none of them excepted.

DISCLAIMER: This world is heavily inspired by the books "Northern Lights" by Philip Pullman. And also a sort of spin off to an original story that I wrote years ago. I try and explain any of those references as best as I could.

This is my first published fanfic, and I hope you enjoy.
