Summary
This is the sequel to Love You, Goodbye - in which we ended with Carla giving birth to her and Liam's child after his death.
Begin again starts when Lisa goes to find Carla at the cafe to apologise to her, right before the car scene :) This is a rewrite where we will follow the story of Carla and her two daughters as they embark on their new journey with DS Swain and her troublesome daughter whilst dealing with the difficulties of everyday life.
Disclaimer: may not be update frequently as I start University next week and may not have much time but it will definitely be completed :)

Summary
Violet and Liam are inexplicably drawn to one another, something more than friendship but neither of them dare to cross the line when they know that Violet and Xaden are inevitable...
I don't know how I feel about this story but I wanted to explore what it could look like if Liam had fallen for Violet and she had feelings for him which were blinded by her attraction and bond to Xaden.

Summary
What if Violet was secretly training for the rider quadrant, and her mother agreed to keep it a secret?
*Everyone thinks I've been training as a scribe my whole life. It's the thing I want them to believe. With my breakable bones and short height, I'm already a major target. Why not make myself a bigger one, and surprise the shit out of everyone?*All characters and the setting belong to Rebecca Yarros and La di da.
Chapters with * in the title contain the smut, for those just here for that ;)
There are forty chapters; I don't know why it isn't working.Series

Summary
ONYX STORM SPOILERS CAREFUL
She could handle all of their words and actions, willing it to fill her lungs a little more every second. A large part of her could still succumb to Malek in a heartbeat, because nothing could compare to the loss of [redacted], but there were weights on her feet that defied the emptiness.
But Violet could never - would never - be able to handle him.
