  Summary

  All it took was a crash landing in a part of the nature preserve and state park you lived in and patrolled. Now you find yourself dealing with a rather spoiled and bossy alien ruler that is marooned on Earth. And from what it looks like, he’s not getting out of your hair anytime soon.

  *Indefinite hiatus*

  *Updates will typically be on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday. I will try to keep it consistent and update at least once every few weeks, all depending on work, other fics/projects and other life things that go on. Thanks for understanding!*
