They don't know they're carranam yet, right?

And also, when are they going to fall in love? Before or after Aelin gets herself kidnapped?

Because she will be kidnapped, she has to get scars, and therefore somehow grow closer to Rowan.

Also I don't know what you plan to write, but I have this idea that the gang won't free Aelin from Arobbyn/Maeve/Cairn, she will run away herself 'cause she's a badass and then bird brain will find her bleeding and slowly freezing (let's say it happens in winter) to death, somehow realize she is his mate, and bring her to the palace in Rifthold/Orynth, or whatever friend palace will be available (preferably in Rifthold, because Yrene is probs gonna be there, and she's like super-magic-healer).

And last but not least, Aedion is gonna freak out when Rowan brings her like that, but when he will insist to sit and wait till his cousin wakes up and/or be there when they heal her, but Rowan will ultra territorial Fae male and say something like: "IF YoU cOmE aNy ClOsEr To mY mAte YoU'rE dEaD!" And allow only Yrene and maybe a few other healers in, at least until she wakes up. He'll obviously try, and lock the door (like in hof after her burnout) and she'll be like 'oh, hell nah' or something...

I wrote another theory about your fic a while back (it was also helleshly long, about how he arobbyn kidnapos her and hurts her real bad so ro-ro realizes she's his mate...), you answered it btw, and said you were happy I put so much thought into it. I was on anon last time, but not anymore!

Ps. Plz don't forget the questions at the very beginning, I didn't plan for it to be so long!

I love you and I love your theories! This seriously made my day.

They do know at this point that they’re carranam. They figured it out at the very tail end of Chapter 7 (or Chapter 8 I guess if you’re reading on AO3 because they’re super dumb about prologues!) They haven’t dwelled on it for long, because they both realize that them being carranam is SUPER complicated by the whole blood oath thing and they don’t really want to talk about how he’s currently sworn to another queen who may or may not see the value in letting them be together.

As far as love... well, right now they’re both still using the carranam bond as a way to deny that what they feel could possibly be more. They’ll figure it out, don’t worry! I don’t want to spoil too much, but one of them at the very least will work it out before we leave Rifthold.

Before we get to the end of this there will DEFINITELY be freaking out about Aelin by both Aedion and Rowan at different intervals. Aelin is ABSOLUTELY a badass and can definitely take care of herself. I haven’t 100% decided on how much longer in terms of timeframe this fic will go, but since we started not long before Beltane and we’re coming up on Midsummer now I have a feeling we’ll wind up wrapping things up around Samhain, if not before.

About the only thing I can confirm safely as a solid “unfortunately not!” is Yrene’s presence. I don’t feel like I have a good enough grasp on her character to bring her into any sort of prominent role just yet! Will Aelin need a healer? That... that’s classified. Lol.

I am so glad you felt safe enough to de-anon yourself for this one, and I am thrilled that you think enough about my little story to have such long and detailed theories!
