Summary
Liam was only trying to save his brother — the same way Xaden had once given him a chance to live. When Xaden became a Venin and enraged the gods enough to earn a terrible fate, Liam knew he had to try to return the favor.
Now, begging the gods wasn’t exactly the smartest choice, but it was all he could do. What Liam didn’t expect was that the gods would actually answer his plea — and grant a second chance not only to Xaden, but to everyone.
Suddenly, Liam found himself in a room with a group that could change everything, and five books that held the story of the future of their world.
Would Liam’s efforts be enough?

Summary
The heat is on full blast for Xaden and Violet when they meet at a fundraiser, unable to keep their eyes off each other. He’s a firefighter. She’s a journalist. And their pull? It’s undeniable. Throw in an ice bath that Xaden just can’t help but join her in, and the flames are fanned, the burn between them inevitable.
But family names and buried secrets might just put out the fire before it can even begin to take hold…

Summary
She never meant to touch the stone. One moment she was grieving her mother and the next she finds herself stumbling through the halls of Basgiath War College on Conscription Day - a stranger in the world of dragons, rebellion and lies. She doesn’t belong here. The dragons know it, the commanders know it and so does Xaden Riorson, a first year marked one with secrets he can’t afford to lose.

Summary
This story picks up a few months after the end of Onyx Storm. Violet and her allies are losing badly to the dark wielders, friends and loved ones already dead, their defenses crumbling. Xaden is gone, consumed by venin power, and despite months of searching, Violet cannot find him or any cure.
Then Andarna returns from her time with the Irids, more mature and aware of her abilities. She re-bonds with Violet. She reveals that Irids have a unique connection to magic, making what they channel flexible, able to be shaped to nearly anything. Together, Andarna, Tairn, and Violet decide their only hope is to bend time itself.
Their plan: send Violet, Xaden, Andarna, Tairn, and Sgaeyl back to the months before the apostasy. Aaric (Cam Tauri) and his dragon Molvic, gifted with foresight, confirm that this path offers a chance at victory with one catch: Duke Fen Riorson must be convinced to organize a rebellion in secret, working from the shadows to avoid Melgren’s battle forsight, rather than declaring open secession and plunging Tyrrendor into war against Navarre. Any course that puts Tyrrendor on a path to direct military conflict with Navarre cannot win.
Or, another Fourth Wing Empyrean time travel au.

Summary
“I think one of the things about you that made it so easy to trust you is the fact that, like me, you also didn’t want your first tie to be due to hormonal influence. I wish you’d been there instead of her. My only consolation is that my father never knew about it.”
- Recovered correspondence from Xaden Riorson to Violet SorrengailThis is my love letter to Catriona Cordella in Rebecca Yarros's canon. May it be known that as bad as she can be, she's certainly not the Cat in this AU.
I'm fully serious about the warnings.

Summary
Xaden Riorson is bound by scars, secrets, and a bargain he never asked for. General Sorrengail has chained him to the survival of her youngest daughter, Violet. But the girl isn’t the fragile scribe he expected. She’s brilliant, stubborn, and already suspects that Navarre’s histories are lies. From the moment Xaden reads her intentions on the parapet, he knows she’s chasing forbidden truths about venin. Truths he’s bled to keep buried.
He should have made her fall. He swore he wanted her gone. Yet every glance pulls him tighter between his duty to the 107 marked ones and the raw attraction he can’t shut down. Violet is fire wrapped in fragile skin, and she forces him to feel what he thought had died with his father.
Now Xaden is chained to her survival, and to her dangerous pursuit of the truth. If Violet uncovers what Navarre has hidden, it could destroy everything he’s sacrificed for, and take him with it.

Summary
Eleanor “Len” Lennox was never meant to survive this long. But now that she has—she’s not sure who she is anymore.
The war has reached a breaking point. Navarre is crumbling from the inside out, tangled in bloodshed, backroom politics, and betrayals disguised as strategy. Len was forged for battle, trained to kill—but nothing prepared her for this kind of war. The kind where words are as sharp as blades, and allies might be enemies in disguise.
As time runs out, Len finds herself walking a path her mother once warned her about. The lines between hero and monster are blurring. The darkness inside her—once caged—is waking, hungering, changing her.
With Nox at her back, and Garrick at her side, Len is a weapon ready to be unleashed. But love is no longer her anchor—it’s her weak point. And in this war, weakness is fatal.
As gods reach down and monsters rise up, Len must choose who she’s willing to become to survive.
A savior? A destroyer? Or something far, far worse.
Because the phoenix doesn’t rise to save the world.
She rises to remake it.

Summary
Prior to Xaden's third year, your relationship thrived. You became each other's comfort in the storm of Basgiath - until the General's daughter turned up in the Rider's Quadrant.
At first it was simple - then it wasn't. The minute she bonded Tairn, everything changed. Not sure if it was you that pulled away or the result of being pushed aside, you let the unworthiness fester. Then you took matters into your own hands, disappearing, just like your signet.
Little did you know, Xaden was torn. He didn't know how to balance it all and in trying to find the balance lost everything. He'll stop at nothing to get you back, to make you understand your worth - but, is he too late?

Summary
Cadet Bodhi Durran encounters more than he could have hoped for in a vengeful Basgiath dropout who has been hiding beyond the wards, fighting among the fliers for years. Her dragon doesn't answer to the Empyrean, and she doesn't answer to Navarre.
The events take place during Iron Flame, Onyx Storm and after.
VIOLET
They have us surrounded. My hands shake as I retrieve the last of the alloy hilt daggers from my thigh. Tairn is making sure Sgaeyl can fend off the masses of Wyvern that have targeted her and Xaden. I need them safe, because I have reached my limit. Every cell in my body feels like a scab, I can barely stand upright as I bring the dagger above my head, standing over Bodhi.His face is flushed, sweat soaked. My heart shatters as he gets paler by the second. I curse my own size, the large wooden cart that has crushed his right leg is too heavy for me to move, and I have drained myself to the point of being unable to use lesser magic. The venin before us grins underneath his red hood. He savors his moment of victory, taking agonizingly slow steps towards us.

Summary
Violet has spent the year after Liam’s death thinking Xaden hates her. Xaden’s spent even longer pretending he’s not completely in love with her.
But when Xaden fakes an engagement to Violet in an attempt to avoid an arranged marriage, the carefully crafted walls between them begin to crumble and they are forced to confront what had been simmering between them all along.
(Takes place in the middle of Iron Flame, but it’s in a canon divergent AU in which Violet never got with Xaden because she was dating Liam until Resson)

Summary
Garrick’s distance walking is getting better, but he can still only get us about two thirds of the way to Cordyn. Based on the little tidbit I picked up about Melgren with my second signet, we only fly in groups of four or more now. Soleil and Masen flank us on either side as we pass through the wards, the magic itself shifting in that strange way it always does without the wards’ limitations. Garrick stays to my right, and to my left is Sgaeyl’s monstrosity of a mate, bigger even than she is and quite possibly just as terrifying.
Sgaeyl has insisted he doesn’t dislike me, but based on the way he always seems to be glaring, I’m not quite sure I believe her.
Thankfully, with the week of downtime we have before Conscription Day, it’s easy enough to fuck off without anyone noticing even with the long flight.
And I unfortunately have business to address in Cordyn.
