A year has passed since the battle with Mandrake. Nod and M.K, though, find themselves torn between what's rational, duty, and the spark that continues to burn between them.

Queen Tara appears from the pod when it blooms at zenith, but she's got something-someone- new with her. Someone only MK can take care of, and MK is faced with the biggest decision of her life. MOVIE EPIC ALT ENDING ADDED FANFIC

Post-movie AU. M.K. decided to stay in Moonhaven for the remainder of the summer. After the defeat of Mandrake, everyone thought the Boggans had finally left. But when Nod is gravely wounded by their arrows, they realize how wrong they were. Contains blood. Nod x M.K.

As the light of the moon illuminated Moonhaven Mary Katherine, MK knew it was over, she had missed her chance to return home, to get her old life back. Even though it hurt that it was lost to her, somewhere deep down she knew that it would all work out. The world just felt right, like it was all coming together, and that everything was turning out the way it should. ALT ENDING.

*SPOILER ALERT: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK* Months have passed since MK's adventure in Moonhaven. She's on her own at college, trying to make a life for herself after helping her dad with his extensive research on the Leafmen. She had believed that this was what she wanted-college, then a job, then marriage. But there's only one person she'd like to share this new adventure with...

Nod x MK - 3 months after the pod has bloomed, MK and Nod still see each other frequently. Though their feelings grow stronger, the current situation is not at all satisfying for either of them. However the new queen is able to help. Lots of happy times, romantic moments, funny afternoons and passionate nights will await them - until tragedy strikes again... - M in later chaps

Have you ever watched a butterfly emerge from it's caccoon, and stumble around in confusion? Yeah, well, if you have, you'll know how I felt. Lost, scared, overwhelmed, alone. Well, maybe not that last one, there was Nod. And even if he didn't really know how I was feeling, I did appreciate the shoulder he lent me to cry on. MKxNod ALT ENDING

"Who gives up their whole world for one they are not even a part of?" Admiration for someone you've known for your whole life does not a Queen make. Being willing to give up everything based on the wisdom of a complete stranger though? That shows some real potential. In the end Tara's heir is someone other than the little flower girl.
