Summary
Sloane Mairi was never meant to be anyone’s weapon. Liam’s shadow, the spoiled daughter of a fallen Tyrrish house, the cadet branded Venin behind her back. But her signet is rewriting the rules of war and pulling her into orbit with the one man she swore she’d never touch.
Dain Aetos was shaped by obedience. A Wingleader built from his father’s rules and his own fear of failure. But Sloane’s defiance cracks his armor, forcing him to question who he serves and what he truly wants.
While Violet Sorrengail claims the throne she never wanted, forging alliances on the knife’s edge of the future, a darker bond coils between Dain and Sloane. Not dragon-forged. Something worse. Because obsession doesn’t make good soldiers. And sharp-tongued girls don’t make good secrets.

Navarre’s most valuable weapons by Obssesivecompulsive
Fandoms: The Empyrean - Rebecca Yarros
19 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
Xaden is three years older than Violet in this AU, so they did not cross paths at Basgiath.
But that doesn’t mean that he didn’t keep an eye on the rider that his life hinges upon.Making everyone believe he is a loyal officer in Navarre’s rank proves to be easier than understanding the woman he thought was just a miniature version of her mother that he loathes so much.
Violet has done what she must during her years in Basgiath to survive, and from the outside looking in she is the most loyal weapon Navarre could have ever hoped for.
Apart they are deadly, but together they are a force to be reckoned with.

Summary
“I always wanted to be a rider, Even before,” Liam said ahead of her, ignoring the interruption of their squad mates as they continued down the path between the large dragons. “I would have done it anyways.”
“Figures,” Isela said with a huff. “I’m not surprised since you’re so good at it. No offense to any Dragons listening, but I didn’t. I always left the fighting to Xaden and Bodhi.”
“So what did you want to be?” Liam asked.
“Before it all, I was trying to decide between a scribe or a healer.” Isela said with a wistful sigh. Despite the dragons judging her on both sides. “But then I met Violet. She was already deep into training to be a scribe by the time I got there. And while I was doing drills in the courtyard she’d practice transcribing or reading a tome. I learned a lot about the scribes from her. And honestly I wished I was her.”

Summary
A Fourth Wing Fanfiction | Xaden Riorson x OC | Fourth Wing & Iron Flame Spoilers
Lila Morgan didn’t expect to wake up after she jumped. She definitely didn’t expect to wake up in the world of Fourth Wing—the book that once kept her alive through her darkest nights.
But this isn’t a dream. It’s not fiction. And surviving here takes more than knowing what’s “supposed” to happen.
Now living as Liora Emberveil, she convinces herself this is a second chance. A chance to be braver. Stronger. Someone worth something. She becomes the version of herself she always wished she could be. But no matter how far she runs, she can’t outrun what’s inside her.
Because the truth is, Lila didn’t come here healed—she came broken.
Anxious, self-destructive, and lost in a world she no longer controls, Liora fights to hold onto the mask she’s built. But as her decisions begin to shift the future—and as the guarded, infuriatingly observant Xaden Riorson starts to see through her—she’s forced to ask the one question she’s never faced:
If you’re not who you were, and you’re not who you pretend to be... then who are you?

One Wedding and Countless Funerals by scintillescent
Fandoms: The Empyrean - Rebecca Yarros

Summary
Riders are allowed to marry sooner than the other quadrants—right after graduation, in fact, probably due to our higher mortality rate—but still not before a certain age.

Summary
They were children once. When summer afternoons stretched endless, scraped knees marked their worst wounds, and Xaden Riorson carved her name into river stones. A time when the world held space for friendship and blooming love.
Some children inherit their parents’ eyes. Others inherit their wars.
Rebellion came. Execution orders followed. Loss tore them apart and flung them to opposite sides of a war they never chose.
War orphans don’t choose sides.
And now Astrea Ysoria knows how to mend broken bones, but not herself.
But fate hurls Astrea into the Riders Quadrant with the one person who knew her before everything broke. Every breath burns with betrayal. Every glance ignites something forbidden. And she learns some hungers devour you whole.
This is the story of wounds that refuse to heal. Of loving someone you’re supposed to destroy. Of discovering that the cruelest inheritance isn’t death—it’s surviving it.
In a world where dragons soar and loyalty bleeds, Astrea must choose between duty and desire, between the child she was and the weapon she has become.
Some loves are worth dying for. Others will kill you first.
