Summary
'What if' Elide and Lorcan never met during the war?
It's been 2 years since the war & Elide is adjusting to her life as heir of Perranth with her father Cal Lochan, but the pressures that come with being a Lady are slowly threatening to unravel Elide & all she hoped for herself. Meanwhile, Lorcan is in Doranelle unable to cope with the choices he made, but when he's called to Orynth will things remain the same?

Summary
Takes place after EOS and before KOA begins. Will follow that in-between we don't get in the books as they look for Aelin, while focusing on Elide and Lorcan's deteriorated relationship.
Will attempt to be as canon-compliant as possible but of course have taken liberties.

Summary
I think Lorcan and Elide deserve their own version, so I wrote them one. This sets out to fill in the blanks in KoA after she saves him from the battlefield, as we were severely deprived of all those moments in between which WE KNOW they spent together. Mainly focusing on the nights spent together. Lorcan POV.
***
“Do you think you can sleep?” he asked her, trying to divert her thoughts. She looked so tired.
She nodded, and his heart exploded when she curled together in a tight ball next to him, scooted closer to his side and nuzzled her cheek against his shoulder. Her soft, small hand curled around his arm and she looked as if content to go to sleep right there, right that moment.Lorcan couldn’t speak, couldn’t think, could barely breathe. Could just lay there, stare down at her, and let her move into him like an iron thread wrapping around his spine. Just by existing, she had slipped behind all of his defenses and moved into his soul. She had stolen his heart for her own and he knew it was futile to ever get it back. And he knew he was completely, utterly at her mercy.
