If you've read some of my other stories then you will know that I have way to much fun writing scenes where the characters are just bickering (even if it doesn't make sense)

And I would like to take this opportunity to write some scenes that have come to mind

If anyone has any other ideas for one shots, I would love to hear them

Prepare for me to write more one shots in the future

This chapter isn't important to the story so if you want to skip it go ahead

Royal Palace in Orynth: One year after the war

Friends gathering to celebrate Yulemas (even though the gods are dead)


Afternoon sunlight showered into the grand room where a sleeping Rowan dozed on the couch. Curled up next to him was Aelin who was sound asleep, her head leaning on her mate's chest.

Fenrys smiled and then ducked behind the corner of a hallway, turning to Dorian.

"I'll pay you 20 gold marks to turn into a spider and crawl on Rowan's face," said Fenrys , to the king of Adarlan, whose sapphire eyes shining.

"What? No! I don't have a death wish," Dorian said, he peeked his head around the corner again. "Also the happy couple are being cute, it would be mean to ruin their sleep."

Fenrys scowled, pouting, "You're no fun. Where is Lys--"

"Right here," said the Lady of Caraverre, her brown hair down and glistening in the light, walking towards. "Need something?"

"Fenrys, will you pay to turn into a spider and crawl on Rowan's face," Dorian told her.

She peered around the corner, and then when she turned her head back there was pure delight in her emerald eyes. She flexed her fingers and said, "I'll do it for free."

Fenrys grinned while Dorian let out an exasperated sigh.

The woman started to shift and said, "Except I'm doing a rat, I hate spiders."

They both snorted, and Lysandra as a rat scuttled into the room.

Fenrys and the King both peered their heads around the corner, Dorian whispering, "You two are so dead."

As the rat crawled up the couch, and without opening his eyes Rowan said, "You guys know that we can hear you, right?"

Fenrys frowned and Rowan added, "And Lysandra get out of my--OW!"

His pine green eyes flew open, but the rat had already crawled on to his wife, and then up her arm and on to her face. The queen squealed. "Off, off, off, off," swatting as at the rodent, but it had already climbed into her hair, and the female was still shouting "off" as she tried to get the creature out. "Lysandra!" Aelin snapped when her finger started to bleed, and her husband pulled away the rodent from her hair and threw it across the room.

Fenrys was cackling, and Lysandra had shifted back into a human and was howling with laughter. But the female and male glares both promised a slow death, probably for ruining their nap.

Seeing this Lysandra dipped her head into a bow. "Please forgive us, your majesties, this was entirely Fenrys's idea."

Fenrys dropped into a bow as well. "I beg for mercy, who knew that a rat could do so much damage, although Lys was the one who bit you."
