Summary
[Post-Iron Flame.] There's a lot that Violet Sorrengail does not have the emotional energy to deal with right now. From her mother, to figuring out what to do about Aretia, to the absolute train wreck of the situation with Xaden, she just wants to get through the next little while without losing her mind. And last on her list of things she wants to deal with is the sudden appearance of her ex, Crown Prince Halden, because it's going to introduce a whole new clusterfuck of baggage to everything else on her plate.
(How do we deal with our book hangover? We write our own Book 3, that’s how!!)

Summary
"You have not drawn again," Sgaeyl began, and there was relief there too. I resigned myself again that I would not let her down a second time.
"It has been difficult," I admitted. Sgaeyl was the one person I kept no secrets from. I never could.
"But you have done it." She nodded her head and looked back at Tairn. I got the distinct impression she felt she'd won an argument.
"I believe I have found a cure for you."

Summary
I didn’t understand what you meant when you told me others would also be wounded, would suffer injuries in the war to come. Would struggle to adapt to bodies that no longer work the way they used to. But seeing Sawyer wounded, struggling to deal with something so permanent, I have to ask: how did you all do it with me? How do I give him the support he needs now?
Recovered correspondence of Cadet Violet Sorrengail to Lieutenant Colonel Brennan Aiseraigh
None of us knew what we were doing when you were little and so much more fragile than you are now, Violet. Mom and Dad didn’t have an equivalent to the guides to the quadrants for your condition. To answer your question: you just do.

Summary
I just want our girl Sloane to be happy, and while I started writing this last year after Iron Flame and before Onyx Storm came out, I still think that Slam (Sloane/Cam…because Sloaric doesn’t sound as catchy) could become canon. If it doesn’t, at least they will still exist here, in this corner of the internet. People seem to ship Aaric/Cam with either Sloane or Cat. I tend to think that if he had to choose between the two, he would pick Sloane, OG squad loyalty and all that. Plus I think he’s had enough of the aristocracy to be interested in a girl who only wants him for his crown (and maybe his body too).

Summary
Thank you Rebecca Yarros for creating this wonderful world for us to play. Written prior to release of ONYX STORM, one commenter calls this a kinder/gentler version of the six months after the Battle of Basgiath, 80% Violet's POV, 20% Xaden's.
Scope:
Book 3, Part I, 9 chapters. Resolves X's problem and introduces his mom (VERY different from ONYX STORM).
Book 3, Part II, 10 chapters. resolves V's second signet, her size/joints (VERY different), her parents' work. Introduces better venin defenses, much more central role for dragons, tensions w/in Empyrean. Sets up Revolution's new relationship with Navarre & scribes.
Book 3, Part III. If commenters express interest, could be written to establish new relationship between Revolution/Poromiel & heat up venin war
Does not address: Changes in Andarna, feather tails, offensive weapons.
Style: Consistent with history/timelines/geography/characters established in first two books. Few battles or fights, no steamy sex, lots of romance, mental rather than combat challenges. The plot is the thing.
Comments appreciated. What worked for you? What didn't? -

Summary
Xaden Riorson has the most remarkable self-control on the continent. However, the more he resists the growing urges beckoning him — the weaker he is becoming. Instead of wallowing in self-pity, he decides to focus on what he can control: creating a plan to fight the venin, training Violet, and making sure that no one else finds out about his latest secret.
But what happens if Xaden's infamous control slips? And puts the one person he would never risk losing in danger?

Summary
[Post Iron Flame] Violet Sorrengail and Xaden Riorson could be the power couple that leadership is afraid of, but their lives are full of challenges that keep driving them apart. As they face the latest challenge that threatens their very existence, they find a series of letters that may hold the key to all the answers they need - if only they can read them. As leadership makes decisions about the future of the war college and the students there, Xaden and Violet go on a journey of exploration and self-discovery that they hope will finally bring peace to the continent. As they find answers, they draw on support from friends and others to fulfill their mission.
OR
The Book 3 where Xaden doesn't run away from Violet to protect her. (Because that's all I really want.)
