Hey yall!
So I finished reading the Iron Knight (amazing book!) and I got kinda sad, because, now there will be no more Ash and Puck *insert hysterical screaming here*
So whilst I was thinking of that this just popped into my head and took a life of its own.
So enjoy!
;)
PS GUYS!: Look at the bottom author's note to get details on how to win a chance at requesting your own personal oneshot!
Disclaimer: I do not own the Iron Fey Series if I did… There would be more Puck. :)

It wasn't often the Meghan Chase was caught in a state of complete and utter confusion -or at least it wasn't until recently. Indeed, if the situation had been different she probably would be laughing with Robbie –or Puck now- because he always knew how to make her laugh, even in the most dire of situations. But now… Now she was at crossroads. Crossroads that –should she make the right choice- could either make her the happiest she had ever been, or completely and utterly devastate her.
The choice was frightening; because she had two paths, both appealing and both calling to her in their own way. One full of isolation and cold brambles, and another full of light and freedom. Now thinking about it that way, one would think the choice was obvious, right? After all when comparing light and freedom to isolation and cold brambles… Well, unless you had hidden S and M tendencies the choice really should be obvious right?
…But that was the problem. It wasn't.
For even if one of the paths was full of darkness and hurt… Amongst it all was light and kindness… love; and even if the other was full of light and laughter and freedom… It was also full of secrets and hidden identities.
She bit her lip unconsciously, thinking back on her travels.
One had vowed to kill her, had claimed to be her enemy… And yet here he was now, walking just in front of her, radiating animosity and cold, back stiff and strait and eyes –if she could see them- cold.
Another -who was walking ahead, whistling cheerfully with hands in his pockets- had told her that he would always protect her and stay by her side… And yet he had kept something so important about herself from her, had kept himself from her… When he had claimed to be her friend.
'But he had done it to protect you,' A chiding voice whispered in the back of her head, 'He had sheltered you, given you a choice where others wouldn't.'
'And the other one… He is your enemy, he would turn on you in a moments chance had you not made that promise, and he would attack your friends as well. …And yet, he is growing softer, his icy exterior is melting. He has shown you kindness.'
Meghan sighed, glazed eyes flicking back and forth between the two.
A façade mask, a careless smirk.
Cold eyes, a mischievous spirit.
Strong and proud, brave and loyal.
A Prince and a Jester.
A Winter and a Summer.
Two paths, one choice-
She just wish she knew which one to choose.

So was it horrible? I really wanted to do a PuckxMeghan fic. But then I decided to write something that could appeal to AshxMeghan fans as well.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
So! Because I'm both happy and sad to see the Iron Fey Series come to a close I have decided to have a little contest and give you guys a chance to win your choice of a oneshot! Whether it be PuckxMeghan or AshxMeghan you name it and it can be yours! (God I just sounded like a sales person -.-')
So here's how it works:
I'll ask you a question and the first three people, who answer right, will get a One-shot of their choice, whether it's a song fic, based off of a quote/saying or just a simple theme, anything goes at any rating you wish it.
The question is:
Why does Julie Kagawa still laugh whenever she sees a centipede?
Please leave your requests as well as your answers in a review or pm. And I will be announcing the winners as soon as they come.
Good luck guys!
