Iron flame arc and Sequel to On My Honor.
“Um isn’t Mairi a higher rank?” Someone asks.
“Oh yeah, but I follow her.” Liam nods.
“He’ll give his orders when he needs to. don’t let his pretty face fool you,” Isela says shaking her head and placing a hand teasingly under his chin. “His instincts and reflexes aren’t even human. And He’s good for reconnaissance even without his signet. I follow him.”
Or in other words. With Xaden out of the quadrant only returning every 14 days due to his dragon’s bond with Violet, Isela finds herself thrust into taking her place amongst the other marked ones as The Spare.

Summary
Following her father's failed rebellion, Celine Riorson, second child and only daughter of Fen Riorson, was fostered with the Sorrengail family. Years later, she would cross the Parapet.
And nothing, not the venin, the fly or die atmosphere of the Riders Quadrant, or even the leadership of Navarre, would get in the way of Celine protecting her family, friends, and loved ones.

Summary
Theirs is a tale written in fragments: in touches that never lingered long enough, in words left unsaid, in moments missed not by accident, but by design. Their love story was always written in the margins—glimpsed in stolen glances, held together by silence and circumstance, by longing restrained rather than shared. It was forged in the fire of war and betrayal, in the quiet space between who they were and who they had to become. And now, as the world shifts beneath their feet and the past refuses to stay buried, fates become entwined once more, both Violet and Xaden find themselves haunted not just by the memory of what they had, but by the hollow absence of what they never dared to reach for.
Because how can a love like theirs ever end… when it never had the chance to truly begin?
(A Post Onyx Storm Fic).

Summary
After the Calldyr Executions, Elise Riorson, the daughter of Fen Riorson, is kept in the city to be fostered by King Tauri himself. She spends the next five years as the royal family’s whipping girl, a hostage in all but name, while secretly training for the Riders Quadrant with Cam’s help.
The night before she leaves for Basgiath, Halden comes to her with a cruel offer, claiming it was her brother who killed Alic during Threshing two years ago: If she dies on Conscription Day, he and his father will consider the score settled and spare Xaden’s life.
It’s simple enough, right? All she has to do is to jump off the parapet, and Xaden will be safe. Except he is waiting for her on the wrong side of the parapet, and even though he can’t interfere with what happens on that death trap of a bridge, Liam Mairi can.

Summary
When Violet and Xaden find themselves in a rather compromising situation at 35,000 feet, their impulsive mile high lie lands them in London for a wedding week full of fancy events, suspicious relatives, and a story they have to keep straight.

AKA : The fic where Xaden and Violet meet on a plane and get caught joining the mile high club. They impulsively claim they just got engaged in an effort to get out of trouble, locking them into living their lie as they head to London for a wedding in a story that celebrates some of our favorite tropes: Fake Relationships, Only One Bed, Forced Proximity and jealous Xaden's Touch Her and Die vibes.

Summary
To control Signets and prevent the condition of Atrophy, riders must manage their physical needs. Needs vary between people, but for most include nutrition, sleep, social or, to the chagrin of leadership, sexual fulfilment.
- Extract from The Riders Quadrant by Major Aphrindra.Xaden is struggling to control his venin condition, but ready to ensure that all of Violet's needs are met, whatever happens to him.
Violet is burdened by the expectations upon her, in turmoil about Xaden's condition, and desperate for a cure.
Cat hides scars and secrets from her brutal past life at court life, and seeks to defend her people in a place dominated by riders. She might just start feeling safe with one in the process.
Dain is doing his utmost to adjust, mend the friendship with Violet, and developing solutions to integrate the fliers - certainly not motivated by budding feelings for a Poromish princess.
Somehow developed into the Dain/Cat love story no one asked for, featuring dragon lore, power struggles, magic, venin, secrets, and very tested morals.
Dain-centric, follows a lot of the OS timeline but with AU elements.

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 straighten the sleeves of my new uniform—a stiff but slightly oversized black suit jacket with a camisole that sits a little lower on my chest than I’d like and matching black slacks, with a pair of black stilettos in my soft leather bag for when I get to the office. One of Mira’s old suit jackets, because I couldn’t bring myself to go out and buy my own. Because this is not where I was supposed to be going today.
While mom had prepared Mira and Brennan for a career in big law—at the massive international firm that bears her name—I’d tagged along with dad since grade school, learning how to help the city’s poor. I’d planned a career in nonprofit work, just as dad had, and had just started my bachelor’s degree in social work so that I’d be better prepared. I’d intended to spend summers as a legal assistant at various nonprofits during undergrad, then law school here in the Bay.
But then Brennan had some sort of breakdown and disappeared, and everything fell apart.

A Empyrean Series what if?
What if the Gods of the Heavens were casted down by the higher beings(aka themselves) and reincarnated into human babies, and in order to fulfill themselves back into the heavens, they must unite and kill all venin that run across land. These Gods, however, are a bunch of little idiots inside a dragon college, and they all keep falling for one another.
Follow Dunne, or as you know, Violet Sorrengail, through Basgiath College as she tries to find her fellow Gods, and falls for a very stubborn and egostical man named Xaden Riorson.
