In a rewatch of Keeper of the Spire one day, I had an idea.
And that idea... that idea grew into a fanfic.
🧪
What if Hector broke Varian out of jail? What if Varian followed Rapunzel's group until they were attacked by the Kirlok at the Spire? (Calliope: It's pronounced "spire".)
Now, Varian is traveling with Rapunzel's group and trying to atone for his actions. But this alchemist has many secrets, some that may threaten the safety of the group and their fragile trust in him.
🧪
This fic is inspired by Alchemist out of Corona by @ElizabethShelby and Blood of my Brother by @AMax76, but with my own spin on things! This is a novelization of season two (beginning partway through Keeper of the Spire), but slightly rewritten to include Varian in the gang's adventures!
I hope you enjoy the adventures of everyone's favorite alchemist, and remember, Plus Est En Vous!

Varian of the Northern Isles
(This is my own spin off of the Tangled series and has no connection to any plot points. I know I used Moon!Varian as the cover but neither the moonstone or sunflower are involved in this.) (The romance is a slow burn) Alchemy was not widely known or explored throughout Corona. To my knowledge, only one person was skilled in it. Their name was Varian and it was my job to track him down. I had a job position for him if he was willing to come along.Complete

Underbelly
Following his trial, Varian is sentenced to servitude in Ingvarr to pay for damages to Corona. Lieutenant Cassandra is supposed to escort him there, but Rapunzel wants her best friend on her journey. To compromise, the Princess suggests taking Varian with them. ------------------- Updates will typically release on Sundays at 8AM EDT. The cover art is made by yours truly, and was inspired by an album cover from my favorite music artist, Kiltro! Go check out their music- which also inspired the name of this story, haha. My personal favorite song in Underbelly (the album) is Errasuriz. Also! I write everything in google docs, which is where I format everything for AO3 (this work is cross-posted to AO3). So if you spot any letters encased in angled brackets, I apologize, it's how I italicize words, strike them out, and format for AO3. I will do my best to edit them out for you. (Note: All rights go to Disney. While this story involves new dialogue, setting, and storyline, some elements remain the same. Think of it like an artist watermarking fanart, the art is yours but the character is not.)

Alchemist's Return To Corona
SEQUEL TO "ALCHEMIST OUT OF CORONA." After joining the gang in season 2, Varian returns to Corona. The recent events in the Dark Kingdom have left him exhausted, physically and mentally. But more challenges await our favorite alchemist... Will he discover why he has a strange connection to the Moon Stone? Can he manage to get through to Cass, or will his efforts only attract unwanted attention from an ancient evil that seems to have been pulling the strings all along? Similar to the first book, this one basically reads as a novelization of the third season, while adding my own changes and including Varian in every episode.

Inner Demons
Heya y'all! This is my first Varian fanfic and I have so many ideas for our little cinnamon roll! Let's thank my followers who voted on this idea, love you guys! Summary: While in jail, (just before Rapunzel left), Varian is sent a mysterious box that does something to him, but he doesn't know what. Not until he hears voices and slowly becomes insane and trapped in his own mind. DISCLAIMER: I DON'T ANY OF THE TANGLED CHARACTERS, ALSO, THIS IS A FANFIC, SO IT WON'T BE TOO SIMILAR TOO THE ACTUAL STORY!Complete
Blinded By Stardust
Cass had been looking for her destiny outside of Corona for several months when she gets an invitation to Rapunzel and Eugene's wedding and decides to go back. When she gets there, she's told Varian had been working on his water heaters in the tunnels under the castle and goes down to find him unconscious on the ground. Hours after he was found, Varian wakes up not only blind, but very sick. This is my first fanfic so tell me what you think, be honest. If you're reading this on teenfic.net, THIS FIC WAS STOLEN FROM WATTPAD AND AO3!! This was inspired by Lealtad Mortal (DeadlyLoyal) written by @kaede02mangaka I don't own Tangled the series or any of the characters from itComplete
