Summary
An alternate ending to The Shattered Castle where no wedding takes place. After the Prozarians have left Carthya, Jaron in the end realizes it is best if he doesn't marry Imogen and breaks his betrothal to her in the Great Hall of his Castle. He will always care for Imogen but he isn't in love with her anymore as he was before. Not after everything that has happened.
The story also describes the aftermath of the events across the five books. The kingdom is at peace as Jaron reflects on all that that has happened so far in his life and talks with his friends and his brothers. The wars and battles he has faced have wounded him in ways no one has ever known. His condition is no different than the condition of the castle. But the Castle can be repaired and in some ways he is healing as well. Besides he knows he isn't alone anymore as he has always believed he was. He has people who have become his found family to make him feel more at peace than he ever has.

Summary
Jaron wakes up at night after having a nightmare about his time in the Avenian camp and hears his own voices speaking to him. Roden walks in at the worst possible moment and later tries to talk with him. ( This is basically a jaroden comfort fic. )
“Well,” he said, annoyance sharpening his tone, “what now? I always knew you held grudges, Jaron, but have you developed a loathing against me now?”
Normally I would have answered him with some cutting remark, which could have been the start of a glorious fight, loud enough to wake half the castle at this time of night. But I was not normal. I had no strength left in me to argue with him. The room felt too small and my head throbbed painfully from the nightmare and the voices I had heard a while ago.
I closed my eyes, then sank onto the edge of the bed as I let my head fall into my hands.
“I prefer to be alone right now Roden,” I said in a voice barely above a whisper.

Summary
Mott sat to my right from where he observed the scene around us.
Finally, he looked at me and furrowed his brows. “I found the letter you wrote me and a gift in my room this morning. Why are we having a picnic today, Jaron?”
I grinned. “Can't you tell?”
He studied me for a moment, then slowly said. “I certainly can.”

Summary
Finally, I asked. “Well? What did you wish to speak with me?”
She smiled shyly. “It is about Tobias. His birthday is coming soon.”
Amarinda spoke again. “I want to surprise him. I want him to celebrate his birthday properly this year.”
“Then you should go on ahead,” I replied. “He would like it.”
She slowed her steps and turned to face me fully. “That is why I need your help.”
I stopped walking. “My help?” I studied her though I already suspected what she meant. “Why would you need my help?”
Rather than answer she stared at me and raised her brow slightly, as if that alone should explain everything. After a moment I sighed, already knowing her message. “Of course. You want me to plan it.”

Next Time, Don't Fall On Me by LaylaM20

Summary
“You’re always busy. Fight me Jaron.”
I raised a brow. “You have an odd way of asking for companionship.” A beat passed, then I sighed. “You truly wish to fight?”
He grinned, “Afraid to lose?”
I glared at him. “I never lose, Roden.” I considered him for a moment. After another beat, I added. “Very well. Just, let me get my sword. But if I win, you will stop challenging me for at least a week.”
Basically Roden challenged Jaron and they both fall down during their fight. Fink comes in at the wrong moment and misinterprets the whole scenario.

The Ascendance Series Headcanons by LaylaM20
Fandom The Ascendance Series - Jennifer A. Nielsen
18 Apr 2026
Summary
TAS series headcanons of Jaron and his friends after the books. (But without Jaron and Imogen's wedding at the end of book 5 and with Darius being his real brother.) Except these two changes it is mostly canon. Oh Kerwyn and Erick are alive here. Let's say Erick was found alive after book 4. Kerwyn too was alive as we never saw him die on page.
You can take them as your headcanons as it involves Jaron and his friends' daily lives after books but Jaron is single for now and happy with his found family of friends and brothers.
