Summary
"For once in your sorry miserable life you're wrong, Violet. My son, did not do what you accuse him of. He told me nothing. Those marked by their families' rebellion where never meant to leave Basgiath alive. Did you not think we knew of their movements. That we had them watched. But not by my son. Believe me, he was a disappointment. His loyalty to you was pitiful."
The bastard laughed.
"And in the end you cost him everything. He is dead and he is never coming back. How does your conscience live with that!"
What if Dain had never told his father what he saw in Violet's memory, but the events of Resson still played out the way it did - Liam, Soleil and others still died and they still believed that Dain was involved.

The Fine Line Between Courtship and Homicide by wedonotsharekills

Summary
Everyone’s been wondering what Violet Sorrengail was up to in the twelve hours before the end of Onyx Storm. Everyone already knows what Ridoc Gamlyn was doing.
But what about Sloane?
Well. Between carrying the weight of killing General Sorrengail, fearing her own signet more than the venin, and trying to remember what it feels like to hold onto something without losing it, she’s barely keeping herself together.
Not to mention:
✔ Her dragon is acting buddy-buddy with the worst-breathed dragon in the Empyrean.
✔ Secrets are coming out left, right, and centre—and not a single one of them is good.
✔ She only has a week left to win her bet with Aaric: that Ridoc will, somehow, manage to pull Violet's big brother.
✔ And worst of all? She can't decide if she wants Dain Aetos dead, humbled, or pressed up against a wall.Series

Summary
Sloane Mairi is starting her freshman year at Basgiath University. Her current concerns include, but are not limited to: her classwork, her sorority experience, and her RA. Especially her RA. He’s in her classes, lives four doors down from her, and she’s convinced that he has something to do with ruining her brother’s reputation.
Who else would be her RA but Dain Aetos? -

Summary
The last words Liam Mairi uttered to his little sister six years ago were that he loved her and he'd see her once she crossed the parapet.
Now, facing the very beast before her, Sloane Mairi has nothing waiting for her on the other side. Liam was gone. Only grief and rage simmer beneath her skin, fueling her across that damn parapet. She was going to kill Violet Sorrengail for ripping her brother away from her; she didn't care if she met Malek in the process, at least she'd be with Liam again.
But the reality isn't always as it seems. As the truth about her brother’s last days is revealed, the grief and rage remain, but the target of Sloane's wrath is replaced: Dain Aetos. The only problem is, she’s pretty sure she’s in love with him.

Summary
Her mind flickered briefly to the early morning light in the gym a few days before, Aetos’s sure fingers brushing against her bicep. She swallowed and pushed the image away as quickly as it had come.
(Sloane is touch-starved. Her solution is Dain.)

In the blink of an eye (everything crumbles down) by Cynderela27

Summary
It wasn’t supposed to happen.
Lynx shouldn’t be wielding shadows because… He just shouldn’t. Xaden was the shadow wielder—their generation’s shadow wielder.
---------------
When I read about Lynx's signet manifesting I was very sad for what that meant for Xaden, I mean his last hope to not turn crumbled right in front of him. But at the same time i saw the hate that Lynx got and honestly I just felt bad for both. I mean Lynx manifested an extremely rare signet, which he knows he shouldn't have and then panicked and got dragged out and into getting examined. I think that the few snippets we've got of Lynx before this scene made me a bit attached to this poor baby and I felt bad that he just got the biggest target on his back right now.

Summary
“Take a trip to the sparring gym tomorrow, Mairi,” he suggests mildly. “You need to hit something.”
“I need to hit you.”
Dain’s gaze snaps back to mine. His eyes roam my face, my body, and I know he clocks how hard I’m breathing. I’m being assessed, but I can’t tell if it’s my wingleader doing it or just… him.
“Okay,” he says, nodding slowly. “We deal with this now.”

Summary
Sloane Mairi was forged in the fire of grief. Over the course of her short life, she's grieved for her parents, her province, and now her brother. The flames of her grief and anger could consume her, devour her, if she lets them, but without them, how would she go on?
Dain Aetos isn't sure who he is or what he's doing. Lately, he's begun to doubt everything he's ever known, himself most of all. Lately, he's been looking for answers to questions he's never thought to ask before.
Can these two broken souls find peace in the unlikeliest of places: each other?
