Aelin and Dorian: Newborn Gods

Nehemia tells Dorian she will be there to help him.

When Aelin loses her parents, she goes off and gets a new identity and becomes an assassin and starts butchering people for a living (which I totally understand). When Aelin loses Sam, the love of her life, she makes a promise to herself that she will be the one to murder Arobynn with pleasure (which I totally understand). When Aelin loses Nehemia, she launches herself at Chaol and mauls his face and would have totally killed him if Dorian hadn’t stopped it (again…I totally understand).

BUT GOD FORBID CHAOL IS NOT ALLOWED TO GET ANGRY AND SAY MEAN THINGS WHEN HE LOSES DORIAN. 

I understand that people can have their opinions about certain characters, BUT I think it is a completely and utterly selfish point of view to hate and be annoyed with Chaol by the actions of him in Queen of Shadows. Why is it okay for our beloved main protagonist to act in the drastic measures that she did when she lost someone, but when Chaol loses Dorian, all of a sudden people think he is a terrible person for being angry. People also say that Chaol was out of character in this book…but I don’t think he was at all…I think he had absolutely every right to act the way he did. Hell I would act even nastier…even Maas said she would act that way if she lost her best friend

He is 22 years old. And in the 22 years that he has lived, he had no family, and absolutely no friends…except Dorian. This boy literally never had ANYBODY in life besides Dorian. So when Aelin comes back 2 months after not seeing each other and not having any contact with each other, she tells Chaol that they would need to kill Dorian. OF COURSE HE IS GOING TO CALL HER A MONSTER. She is talking about killing the only person Chaol ever had. And I UNDERSTAND why she would want to kill Dorian…hell I would say that too if I went through the experience she went through with the Valg. But Chaol doesn’t have clue what the Valg is capable of…and I don’t think he needs to listen to a girl he dated for literally only 2 months over the life of his best friend and brother since they were kids.

#NeverForgetTheGood

So, in reading Queen of Glass, there’s this fuzzy area of “Did Aelin and Dorian actually have sex in Maeve’s dreamscape?” And to this I wrote the answer in fic form because I am out of control and writing erotica about my OTPs provides amusement in my romanceless life because it wasn’t mentioned explicitly or implicitly, yet she was suddenly without clothes in their following scene.

So here’s a fic to fill the gaps~

Aelin took another sip of wine as she stood listing to some Lord from Melisande ramble on about something that she didn’t particularly care about, trying her best to sound interested. She looked past him at the ballroom filled with people laughing and dancing, wishing she could join them. Sighing she took another sip of wine. Tonight’s ball was to celebrate Dorian’s official coronation as King of Adarlan. She had been looking forward to it all week, but now wondered at what time it would be acceptable for her to leave. The entire night had been spent cornered by different Lords and Ladies all eager to chat with the mysterious new Queen of Terrasan. In fact she had been standing in the same spot for the past three hours.

She fiddled with the cloth of her gown that had been specially ordered just for this occasion, it was a beautiful shade of red accented with gold lace that hugged her body modestly, but enough to draw attention. It now seemed like an enormous waste, though it had been worth it to see Dorian’s eyes light up as she walked down the stairs. Her gaze traveled over to where the King of Adarlan stood across the room also suffocated by Lords, at least he was as miserable as she was. Beside her Rowan cleared his throat, Aelin turned her attention back to the conversation at hand, the Lord having finished whatever he was talking about was now saying his goodbyes. Thank goodness, Aelin thought as she nodded her head and smiled.

Once her and Rowan where alone she let out a groan as she rolled her neck, allowing her posture to slump slightly. “They look happy don’t they?” Rowan followed her stare to Aedion and Lysandra who had spent the evening dancing together. He smiled, “Yes they do.” “Hmm” Aelin tapped her foot, “I want to dance.” Rowan looked at her, “Queens don’t dance.” Aelin rolled her eyes, “Well perhaps they should!” Rowan just glared at her, she sighed as she finished her glass of wine. He was right it was improper for a Queen to dance at a Royal ball, especially if she wasn’t hosting it.

Handing Rowan her empty glass she signaled she would like another. She could tell he was about to lecture her on how much wine a Queen should consume so she growled at him. Rowan smiled, shaking his head as he retrieved her another glass.

Another hour passed like this. Talking to more people who’s names she wouldn’t remember and drinking wine. Aelin became aware that her words were starting to slur together slightly so she took to just nodding and smiling. No one seemed to mind. She was about to declare to Rowan that they were going to call it a night when she noticed the King of Adarlan approaching. Gods he was so handsome.

She bit her lip as he took her hand and kissed it. A gesture of friendship to anyone who was watching, but his cold lips brushing her skin sent a pulse of electricity through her entire body. Dorian lifted his sapphire eyes to hers, “How is the Queen of Terrasen enjoying the ball?” “The Queen of Terrasen shall die of boredom.” Aelin answered as she crossed her arms in front of her. Dorian raised his eyebrows at Rowan, obviously picking up on her slightly slurred speech, but she didn’t care. “Well we can’t have that, hmm perhaps the Queen would like to dance?” Dorian offered her his arm. “Queens don’t dance.” Aelin mumbled as she took another sip of wine. Dorian took the glass out of her hand, giving it to Rowan as he shrugged his shoulders. “Neither do Kings.” Aelin smiled truly for the first time tonight linking her arm through his as he led her onto the dance floor.

People moved out of their way stopping to stare and whisper as Dorian pulled her into his arms. Her feet felt extremely light beneath her as he guided her around the ballroom floor. He laughed as she moved her body just slightly closer to him, his hand tightening it’s grip on her waist. It could have been the wine, but she didn’t care what the people who starred at them thought. She could feel Aedion and Rowan’s eyes watching her cautiously. Aedion especially was against her making her relationship with the King of Adarlan public knowledge for now anyways, but right now she didn’t care about all the stupid politics. She was lost in the sapphire eyes of her mate as he twirled her around the floor song after song.

Her eyes were growing heavy and she found herself leaning into Dorian’s arms resting her head on his shoulder. He shook her hand, and she jumped righting herself, keeping her eyes closed the wine draining her energy. “We should get you to bed”. Dorian whispered in her ear. “Hmm”. Aelin shook her head she wasn’t ready for bed yet, “A walk” He smiled, “Okay, a walk. I’ll meet you in the gardens.”

Aelin walked through the gardens with the King of Adarlan, they were not entirely alone though. Chaol followed about fifty feet behind them, he was trying to give them some privacy, but it wasn’t enough. “Let’s ditch Chaol” she breathed into Dorian’s shoulder. Without giving him a chance to reply Aelin kicked off her heels, lifted her dress and took off running. She looked over her shoulder to see shock plastered over Dorian’s face as he ran after her, and Chaol cursing in the distance.

Aelin rounded a corner and hid behind a tall hedge grabbing the collar of Dorian’s shirt as he ran by shoving him into the hedge she clamped her hand over his mouth motioning for him to stay quiet as Chaol sprinted past just seconds later. Aelin smiled now they were alone. A part of her wanted to rip the King’s clothes off right here in the gardens and show him just how much she had missed him, but that was too risky. So was either of them visiting the others rooms. With so many visitors it was bound to be noticed by somebody.

Dorian interrupted her thoughts as his lips brushed against her neck, Aelin shivered. His lips moved up her neck along her jawline his teeth grazing against her ear, as he breathed “I missed you.” Aelin grabbed his head pressing his lips firmly against hers. His cool breath filled her lungs as she kissed him deeply. She wanted more, she wanted him. Dorian growled against her lips as bit her the taste of blood filled her mouth as he pulled her body closer. His hands running up and down her body. Footsteps sounded near by, with great effort Aelin pulled her lips away from Dorian’s. He continued to leave a trail of frozen kisses against her neck, still holding her close. “Someone’s coming” Aelin breathed. Dorian’s teeth grazed against her skin, “I don’t care”. Aelin pulled away, Dorian narrowed his eyes at her, it was one of the few things that they ever fought about. The footsteps grew louder, Aelin sighed as Chaol came into view. One look at his face let her know that he was not amused by her little game.

“Very impressive Chaol, I was only out of sight for a few minutes. I’ve never felt safer than when you’re around.” Dorian joked as he punched Chaol in the shoulder. Chaol rolled his eyes, “Yeah, well I didn’t particularly enjoy that cardio I ate too much cake.” Chaol held out her golden heels, Aelin yanked them out of his hand, “Thanks” she mumbled as she slipped them back on. “Shall we continue our walk?” Dorian asked rather coldly, as he offered her his arm. She nodded linking her arm through his offering him a smile which he didn’t return. Aelin sighed through her nose, “Can we not do this tonight” she whispered as they continued walking through the gardens, Chaol just a few paces behind them this time. Dorian’s fingers curled into a fist. “Aelin.. I love you. I will always love you, and I love you right now. There are already rumors, everyone in Adarlan pretty much knows how I feel about you, I don’t hide my affections.” he stopped walking letting go of her arm, his arms spread out wide. “What more do you want from me Aelin? I know that this is what you and your court have decided, but I can’t keep pretending like you don’t mean the world to me. When you mean everything.” He was practically shouting now. She reached out to grab his arm, but he pulled away shaking his head. “Dorian…” The coldness in his sapphire eyes melted slightly as he sighed. “I’m sorry” she mumbled, his hand grazed her cheek wiping away a tear that she hadn’t even realized was there. He pulled her into his arms holding her tight. “I’m going to go talk with Aedion and Rowan now, and then I expect to see you tonight” he whispered in her ear. She raised her eyebrows at him as he kissed her forehead and walked towards the castle. Leaving her and Chaol staring after him. “Chaol would you mind escorting me back to my room?” “Um… sure… of course” he stuttered.
