If I had to bet, both titles are fanfiction. Canon means the original author wrote and published it as part of the official continuity; fanfiction is written by fans and posted on community platforms. 'A Court of Ash' sounds suspiciously close to 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' derivatives, and 'A Rejected Wolf' feels like a trope-driven one-shot.

There are exceptions — indie authors sometimes self-publish original works with similar names — but without publisher info or author confirmation, I’d treat them as fan works. Personally, I enjoy the creativity even when it isn’t canon.

I tend to dig into breadcrumbs, so here’s how I parse this: first, check for publisher listings and ISBNs — those are the hallmarks of canon material. Second, scan the author’s official channels for announcements. Third, see where the piece is hosted: fan hubs = fanfiction, bookstores/press = likely canon. Titles such as 'A Rejected Wolf' and 'A Court of Ash' ring like fandom-born stories to me; the phrasing is very fanfic-y, built to hook readers on a trope.

There’s also the possibility of indie originals or self-published novellas, but even then, the creator usually claims ownership and lists it where other indie publications live. Copyright and disclaimers often clarify whether characters belong to an established IP. I enjoy both official and fan works, but I have a soft spot for clever fan takes that reframe a canon moment into something new.

Sometimes a title is ambiguous and you need to play detective. I look for a few clear signals: an ISBN and publisher listing mean official canon; a post on a fan archive or a username-credit on a community forum means fanfiction. 'A Court of Ash' smells like a derivative of 'A Court of Thorns and Roses', and 'A Rejected Wolf' follows a classic fanfic naming style — short, evocative, and trope-driven.

That said, there are rare cases where fanfiction inspires an official work later, but that requires explicit acquisition or rewriting by the original rights holder. Bottom line for me: treat these as fan creations unless you can point to an official publisher page — and enjoy whichever version you find, since both can be wildly entertaining.

There's a quick rule I use: if the work is published through a legit publisher or listed on the original creator’s official pages, it's canon; if it's on fan sites, it's fanfiction. Titles like 'A Rejected Wolf' or 'A Court of Ash' read like fan-coinages to me — the kind of evocative short name a fan writer gives to a one-shot or AU series.

Sometimes fans borrow the vibe or setting of a big series like 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' and make their own spin-offs; other times they write crossover pieces where a wolf character is rejected and meets court politics, which is pure fandom fun. If you want to be thorough, look for an ISBN, a publisher imprint, or an official press release. Otherwise, enjoy them as creative fan works — I’ve found some of my favorite emotional scenes in fanfiction, so I’m not judging at all.

Long story short: my gut says those titles are fan-made unless proven otherwise.

I get excited when I see names like 'A Rejected Wolf' or 'A Court of Ash' because they sound like the kind of mashups and AU titles fandoms cook up overnight. Canon means officially released by the original creator or publisher — think a published novella with ISBN, a chapter dropped on the author's website, or an entry on the publisher's catalog. If you can find the name on a bookstore, publisher page, or the original author’s bibliography, it’s usually canon. Otherwise, if it lives on sites like Wattpad, Archive of Our Own, or fan-run blogs, it’s almost always fanfiction.

I once chased down a similarly vague title and discovered it was a collab fic with dozens of authors and dramatic tags. So unless 'A Court of Ash' shows up on an official Sarah J. Maas bibliography (or whichever original series it riffs on) or 'A Rejected Wolf' is from the original IP owner, treat them as fanworks — fun, creative, and unofficial, but not part of the official story. I’m mostly amused by how inventive fans get, honestly.
