(aka "Alone?") I adopted this fanfic from @CartoonsAreAmazing.

There's always a light at the end of the tunnel.

Varian has been groomed and abused by Saporian Andrew since their jailbreak. After Princess Rapunzel and company return from their journey, they must defeat the evil separatists in order to save Corona and Varian. Soon after his father is freed from the amber, the young boy is taken into the care of Rapunzel and Eugene. The couple have come to view Varian as their own. They're determined to be whatever Varian needs as he heals from Andrew's abusive influence. But nothing ever comes easy for the little alchemist. A secret enlightens the child to a spectacular destiny. And a creeping evil is approaching, threatening to shroud Corona in eternal darkness and its eyes are unfortunately pointed at Varian. What will become of the teenage boy? Is he doomed to be swallowed in pain and loneliness forever? Or will the light be his greatest salvation?

Enjoy this rewrite of Tangled the Series season 3 full of found family, angst, hope, and magic.All Rights Reserved

Tangled AU: The Sun and The Moon by Sekarsari19

A long-lost princess and a long-lost Alchemy with the longest hair imaginable named Rapunzel and The science Alchemist named Varian, has spent their whole life in a lonely tower, dreaming of the world, waiting to discover it. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ This is an AU I made and I saw a fan art of it and I thought "Hey! why not make an AU about Rapunzel and Varian stuck in the tower! and Flynn and Hugo saved them like the original story but maybe a add a few changes!" Oh yeah in this AU: Hugo doesn't work with Donella Flynn adopts Hugo as a partners or brother Rapunzel and Varian are like stepsister and stepbrother When Varian was born he knew that he has magical power so he hidden it until mother gothel stole him Tangled/Tangled the Series, and vat7k made by Kay Ritter and Anna Lencioni, produced by Roy Conli Ships: Rapunzel x Flynn Varian x Hugo Made in: October 8 2023 Finished: February 9 2024

Varian and the Seven Kingdoms (Varian's Seven Trials) by raccoonfather

This is my take on the idea of a Varian spin-off series of Tangled: The Series/Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure. The AU was presented to Disney by storyboarders Kay Ritter and Anna Lencioni who took a liking to Varian's character and decided to create a story for him in his later years; detailing the adventures he might go on and the friends he makes along the way. I'll likely take a lot of inspiration from other fans too and I think that's what's great about vat7k, we all inspire each other with our ideas! :) This is probably gonna be a long one, hope you enjoy!! WARNING: Slight mature references and blood COVER ART AND CHAPTER ART: insta: @heymynameisntel ALSO CREDIT TO THE FOLLOWING ARTISTS WHO I'VE TAKEN INSPIRATION FROM: insta: @JJGGrt insta: @kryptopine insta: @doctor_chalk KINGDOM NAMES (for me as well as readers lmao): Vlamudia [VLAM-OOD-EE-A] Mayimgar [MY-M-GAR] Zephaeli [ZEH-FAY-LEE] Aardeterre [AR-DEH-TER] Vooruitgaan [VOR-ROO-GARN]

Blinded By Stardust by Jadiina_Hope_7-7

Cass had been looking for her destiny outside of Corona for several months when she gets an invitation to Rapunzel and Eugene's wedding and decides to go back. When she gets there, she's told Varian had been working on his water heaters in the tunnels under the castle and goes down to find him unconscious on the ground. Hours after he was found, Varian wakes up not only blind, but very sick. This is my first fanfic so tell me what you think, be honest. If you're reading this on teenfic.net, THIS FIC WAS STOLEN FROM WATTPAD!! This was inspired by Lealtad Mortal (DeadlyLoyal) written by @kaede02mangaka I don't own Tangled the series or any of the characters from it

Redemption Citadel by Froggy1988

The Dark Kingdom is being rebuilt under the new name of the Redemption Kingdom. King Edmund has opened the doors to all those looking for a new start.

"Making them forget is the only way to fix what I done" by ILOVEVARIAN22

what if VARIAN actually was able to turn the wands effects into a gas!! and was used!!!! ---------- In other words a rewrite of season 3 Was originally going to be a one-shot but it was too good of a story to leave it as that! Eventually will have other Characters that you will not expect!!!

Face Your Destiny | Tangled Fanfic by MiloSings

Just about 1 year after his fall and arrest, Varian alone in the darkness of his cell, longs for one thing. Meanwhile Cassandra's now endless power rises up, as she swears revenge on Rapunzel for what happened so long ago. Note: This is based off Tangled the Series which if you don't watch it you will be very confused. Sorry this thing isn't very good, it's my first fanfic. If you do somehow end up reading it, and wether you hate it or kinda like it, please tell me what you think! Cover art is not by me! (Couldn't read the name but it started with Cathy I think) Edit: it is by @codynaomiswireart on tumblr! I am so sorry for stealing this in the past, if you somehow see this do forgive me! ~ 2025 Edit: Wow, it has been a hot minute. The series finale just hit its fifth anniversary, and as I was thinking about it I remembered this fanfic existed. ...this is certainly a piece of work, lmao. Between the writing style being very reflective of my age to the self-deprecating comments I wrote about my own writing to the stolen cover art (my sincerest apologies for that, I am going to change it but the original is by @codynaomiswireart on tumblr) it is beyond me what was going through my head when I wrote it. It is for that reason I found myself shocked to see it with thousands of reads and comments, which thank you for by the way, I did not realize there was this much demand for moon Varian lol. For now I intend on leaving it up solely because it is hilarious to me and a good reflection on what was at the time a very important show to me. In the present, a lot of my love for the series has been somewhat diminished, due to many factors. But I won't deny what it did for me then, as I have moved onto, what I am hopeful to view as far greater artistic pursuits lol. In the meantime, thanks for reading all this, and I hope whoever is still reading Varian fanfiction in this economy is living their best life. Thanks a ton, Milo

Alchemist Out Of Corona by ElizabethShelby

We all know what happened to Varian in the first season of "Tangled: The Series." He became the villain, was defeated by Rapunzel, and thrown into prison for a whole year. Yes, he redeemed himself and returned for the third season, but the lack of his presence was felt by fans everywhere throughout the entire second season of the show. So what would have happened if he had redeemed himself sooner and been there for the gang's life-changing journey throughout the second season? How would he have reacted to all those adventures he missed? Find out in this AU fanfic! You will see how he deals with his still-suspicious friends, his unrequited crush on Cassandra, and his search for a way to free his father. "Next stop, anywhere!" (Note: All rights go to Disney. This fanfic basically reads like a novelization of the second season, while also adding artwork and my own original Varian content.)

Recovery is a Long Process, Kid by i_dont_hesitate

When the gang gets back to Corona, something unexpected awaits them. Varian is nowhere to be found. They face conflicting emotions as the King assures them that Varian is fine. As they attempt to uncover the truth, unnerving horrors are revealed. ---------------------- Basically season 1 and 2 happened but Varian didnt take over with Andrew. Also Cassandra took the moonstone, BUT Rapunzel convinced her to put it back, but none of that is really described until later. There are a lot of Varian abuse fics but there aren't enough with OMORASHI IN THEM LETS GO VARIAN PISSFIC(nonsexual, basically omocute) This is on ao3 too but this is the edited version so its a lot better the other one was basically I wrote it and then published it without doing any reading over ‼️‼️‼️‼️⚠️ PLEASE READ THE TAGS im sick of people acting surprised and saying the book is "bad" or "inappropriate " ya'll, it does have very intense elements and i'll agree that its not appropriate for younger audiences because of some some short rape and abuse scenes but it's for the plot and trauma! This story is about found family and recovery and how Varian keeps going on despite what's happened him‼️‼️‼️⚠️⚠️

Power of the Moon (a tangled Fanfic) by moonshadowwolf17

Planning revenge against Rapunzel, Cassandra recruits familier faces in the battle against the sun. Meanwhile, Rapunzel and her friends plan how to stop Cassandra and take back the moonstone. But Rapunzel doesn't just want to stop Cass, she wants her back as her friend and she wants to make amends with Varian too. But what happens when Cassandra and Varian both possess the power of the moon? And what happens if Rapunzel's only decision left is to destroy them to save her family and kingdom? Book 1|| Power of the Moon (this book!) Book 2|| Journey of the Stars {discontinued}

To Save A Lost Friend (Tangled Fanfiction) by netherrmind

Rapunzel, Eugene and Cassandra must work together to save Varian, an alchemist and former friend gone mad, who was kidnapped by a rogue guard, and will be burned at the stake in three days time.
