Summary
In a misguided attempt at house unity after the war, Hogwarts has decided to start doing a student exchange program between the houses. For the pilot of this program, one male and one female student from each house will spend the Fall Term in a different house to experience new things and better understand their fellow students.
Hermione Granger is looking for an escape hatch. Draco Malfoy is looking for forgiveness. The exchange program is just what they need.

Bookmarker's Notes
First off, I love the idea of the exchange program between houses. It would do a lot to reduce the house stereotypes and prejudices.
Second, I’m not always in the mood for a Ron-bashing story, but sometimes the author pulls it off and imo, this is one of those time. And I appreciate that it wasn’t all of the weasleys + Harry, just molly and Ron.
Third, I love stories where Hermione befriends Slytherins and respects them because she recognizes that all of them were kids and she can’t imagine what it would’ve been like to be forced into Voldemort service (with the other option being death/death of loved ones). i also love when said Slytherins are all protective of her because that’s Slytherin at its best—willing to do anything to protect the people they consider family
Fourth, I love the history between Fred and Hermione. I think Fremione could’ve had so much potential in canon and I always love seeing it represented, especially as sweetly as it is in this fic

“Are you sure I can’t just come to girls’ night? I missssssss you. I’ll braid hair and do whatever else is required.”

Summary
In another universe where Violet is a scribe and conscripts from Tyrrendor are barred from becoming riders in an effort to keep them in line, Violet is out drinking away the memory of her father's birthday and hooks up with a ridiculously hot stranger she has no intention of seeing again - let alone at her bedside when she's in the infirmary.

Summary
“I can’t,” she choked out, pushing her face further into his chest. She felt his chin lift off her head, and the hand holding her wrists released them as he tilted his face towards hers. His thumb brushed against her cheekbone, his pupils dilated, and before she had a chance to move back he spoke. “Breathe, Elena.”
Instantly the compulsion took hold, her body dragging in deep and ragged breaths. Her head fell back to her chest and he let it, simply holding her.

I love Elena/Elijah. I feel like it would’ve forced Elena’s character to stay the better version of it, and Elijah would’ve been protective without being controlling the way both Damon & even Stefan (esp after she became a vampire) tended to try to be

Summary
Xaden is regarded as an only child, a perception formed due to the widely accepted belief that his beloved sister, Ophelia, tragically 'died' amidst the chaos of the Rebellion. Unknown to them all Ophelia survived and has been so close this entire time. The architect behind this elaborate scheme is none other than General Melgren. The stern and strategic General has been stealthily overseeing her movements, training and ensuring her safety. The revelation of her existence is dramatically unveiled on the day of conscription, a day that will forever change the course of their lives.

This story is TBD—author hasn’t started posting the sequel yet, so check back for that in the future because I enjoyed this one!! I’m super curious to see how Ophelia’s signet continues to grow and everything, and just, who doesn’t love Garrick?

Summary
Xaden Riorson thought he had figured out how to survive in this place. Now in his final year at Basgiath War College, he’s risen to the rank of Wingleader. He is focused on one thing: getting every kid of the rebellion bonded to a dragon. Then the real work can begin.
But he hadn’t counted on Violet Sorrengail, the General’s daughter, entering the Rider’s Quadrant. She’s not supposed to be here and she’s about to throw every plan he has made into chaos. Can he trust her? And more importantly, can he trust himself?
This follows the dialogue and events of Rebecca Yarros’s Fourth Wing, retold from Xaden’s perspective. This was written prior to the release of Iron Flame, so all theories and speculation are my own and unconfirmed. It's my best guess at exploring how Xaden might have felt throughout the story and features new scenes with Liam, Garrick, Imogen, Sgaeyl and Tairn. Major plot spoilers from the very first chapter.
All rights belong to Rebecca Yarros – thank you for building this world and introducing us to these incredible characters!

Bookmarker's Notes
There’s so much I love about this fic. Other than what I say below, though, one of my favorite parts is that it reminds me just how young all these characters are. Xaden is essentially the leader of a rebellion and has been for 6 years; he (literally) carries the weight 107 lives on his back every day with probably hundreds of other lives also depending on his actions; he watched his father and father’s friends be executed in front of him; and he deals with people hating him and distrusting him for his name alone every single day. But he’s also only 23–he’s so incredibly young. Of course he makes stupid mistakes (like delaying telling Violet some of the truth for so long); literally anyone would make mistakes with that much pressure, but especially a 23 year old. He shouldn’t be worrying about anything that serious, yet he has to, and he has had to for SIX YEARS. So yeah, I love the reminder that he’s barely more than a kid
Copying and pasting my comment from Ch 25 bc it sums up most of my thoughts in this fic and why I love it:
“… some of this fic isn't canon after Iron Flame, but honestly I LOVE this fic and the way you write Xaden. Even though Violet had every right to be hurt by Xaden keeping stuff from her, I honestly kept getting so frustrated with her in IF because I felt like she was just completely missing how vulnerable Xaden always was with her, and you’ve done such a good job at highlighting that & his internal struggle of what he can and can’t share.
Somewhere in the first few chapters of IF Xaden says “I know it was the not telling you. I get it. But when the lives of everyone around you depend on how well you can lie, it’s not easy to realize it’s the truth that will save you.” Even though this fic was written before Iron Flame (from what I understand), you understood Xaden’s characterization really well, because that quote (which I feel like is so central to his character) perfectly fits so much of his thought process in this fic.”

The writing isn’t perfect, but the story more than made up for it. I really enjoyed Elfwyn’s character and her dynamics with her family and the Fellowship—and eventually with Haldir. The ending is bittersweet with the Valar’s gift to her meaning she ultimately loses her family and people, but it was happy, too, because she got a new life with Haldir

Love this. There’s a shortage of good Legolas/OFC fics out there, but I love Brielle and the way she looks up to Aragorn and slowly but surely falls for Legolas—and I love the way Legolas protects and cares for her, even when she refuses to truly let him in (“no attachments or expectations”). And also I love seeing a softer Thranduil.
Author also does a good job with the ending. I loved seeing Brielle be able to have happily ever after—forever—with Legolas, as well as seeing both the joy and pain that comes from being more or less immortal.

3. I think the letters from Hotch to Haley at the end of each chapter were my favorite thing in the story. I just love how it portrayed the Hotch & Haley dynamic both

“Hotch. . .”
He’s heard that tone before. She uses it with small children, and witnesses so traumatised they’re barely coherent. He should get off the phone.
“Haley’s left.”
“Oh,” she says softly, and there’s a long pause. “I’m sorry.”
“Me too,” he mutters, the lump in his throat making his voice rough and painful. He shuts his eyes tight and presses his palm to his forehead. Get off the phone.
