Summary
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
Violet should already be dead. People whispered about her weak body and how she would never live up to her family's martial accomplishments. Violet rose above them all, however, fighting and killing to survive the Navarrian Intelligence Agency's brutal BASGIATH training protocol. Now, people whisper about Violet's swift ascension through the NIA's ranks as one of its most valuable operatives and assassins. The whispers don't matter to Violet: She has her own agenda, and it's a dangerous one - finding out what happened to her father.
But one mission changes everything: Suddenly, Violet finds herself in the crosshairs when she stumbles on information Navarre wants buried, and the country she fought for begins to turn on her. Violet knows too much, but she's determined to do what she does best: Survive. Her only hope is the son of the man who they say killed her brother, but their partnership is far from assured. Some grudges run deep, and trust is a currency too valuable to give freely. Xaden realizes Violet may be the key to everything, but with enemies seen and unseen closing in on all sides, the consequences of failure are deadly.

Summary
At 17, Violet Sorrengail spent a night in the 2022 Olympic Village with the son of her Mother’s greatest enemy. 20 year old Xaden Riorson was the gold medal snowboarder who fell for her instantly, but she vanished before he could even get her real name.

Summary
I open the book.
“Well there is a map of the Continent and of Basgiath, huh.” I show everyone quickly.
"The following text has been faithfully transcribed from Navarrian into the modern language by Jesinia Neilwart, Curator of the Scribe Quadrant at Basgiath War College. All events are true, and names have been preserved to honor the courage of those fallen. May their souls be commended to Malek.” -Fourth Wing
I pause and we all look towards Jesinia who blushes while Ridoc translates for her. He says while signing, “Well, at least we know you make it out alive.”
***
Before they can get into the meeting with the Irids, the characters of Fourth Wing find themselves in a room away from Basigath or Aretia and with a stack of books. Follow along as they read about Violet's experience in the Quadrant and about their future.*Updates Sunday Nights (with the occasional Monday night if I'm behind lol)*

Summary
Kirra Leinster is a 35-year-old disabled woman--whoops, scratch thatKirra Leinster is a 20-year-old woman with fifteen extra years of life experience and a very particular book series still fresh in her memory when she finds herself at Basgiath War College - only a few steps away from the parapet into the Riders' Quadrant.
She's convinced she's not exactly rider material, but armed with foreknowledge of everything that's going to happen means she can survive long enough to escape, right?
If only her attitude problem didn't drag her under scrutiny. Oh, and she might be an intinnsic, too - so that's fun.
Surviving Basgiath means preserving the timeline, but an entire year's head-start on the revolution might be exactly what they need to get the happy ending Kirra wants for everyone. Messing with things might endanger her own survival, but if the wrong people find out the truth about her, she's as good as dead anyway.
It's a delicate balancing act more dangerous than parapet - and there's plenty of people who can't wait to see her fall.

Summary
They were children when they first met—two heirs from opposing worlds who were never meant to be friends, let alone fall in love. But Violet Sorrengail and Xaden Riorson were reckless enough to believe they could defy bloodlines, rebellion, and fate itself.
Then Fen Riorson declared the rebellion. Families burned, trust shattered, and Violet was forced to watch the boy she loved become the enemy her mother swore to destroy.
Years later, the Riders Quadrant brings them face-to-face once more. He is shadows, scarred and dangerous. She is lightning, unbroken but still haunted. Between them lies betrayal, memory, and a truth darker than rebellion.
Dragons never forget—and neither do hearts.

Summary
The last time the venin were driven back, the common histories named six riders. Older texts claim otherwise, that the gods themselves converged as one through mortal flesh and turned the tide by their own hand. Let us pray such power is never needed again, for if the gods must walk among us, ruin will come for us all.
Fragment recovered from pre-Unification Tyrrish records, author unknownViolet Sorrengail Riorson's personal addendum to the Book of Brennan
Not that he fucking deserves to be the author of this book. The traitor. It turns out queening is not all it’s cracked up to be. Xaden is cured. Unfortunately, we are now gods.
I would like to know what kind of sick humour this is. Apparently surviving war, betrayal, crowns, venin, and my husband’s dramatic nonsense was not enough. No, now I have a kingdom to hold together, an empire to help reclaim, a sister ready to knife anyone who looks at her unborn child like a constitutional solution, and a continent still determined to catch fire around me.So, in summary:
Xaden is alive.
The gods are assholes.
Brennan is a traitorous bastard.
And if ruin is coming for us all, it’s going to have to get in line.Series

Summary
Sloane Mairi has been running all her life. Dain is determined to be the one that brings her back to earth.
Big ol' planned fic about our glorious Slain! Set post OS, kinda slow burn, more plot than you'd expect. Will be updating every two weeks on Saturdays. Inspired mostly by the song Icarus by Bastille (but I will put the whole playlist I used in end notes).
****
“Cocky bastard.”
He chuckles. “Still not my name, Mairi. Nor my rank, Cadet.”
I groan and resist the urge to punch him in his stupid, cocky, pretty face.

Summary
Xaden Riorson is being eaten alive by the nightmares he hides, and Violet Sorrengail is running from the ones that nearly destroyed her — but when their worlds collide, the fire between them might save them both… or burn them to ash.
Aretia is a city on the edge, and no one feels the strain more than Xaden Riorson — newly appointed Captain in Station Four, he's been running from his nightmares by running into fires. Across town Violet Sorrengail, AGH’s newest trauma nurse, is running from a past that she can't seem to escape.
What begins as a single collision becomes impossible to ignore. Every shift, every call, every near‑miss pulls them closer, until the line between duty and desire blurs beyond recognition. And as Aretia grows more unstable, Xaden and Violet must decide whether the fire between them is worth the risk of being burned.

Summary
They tried to break her. Torture her. Kill her.
Instead, they forged her into a weapon.
Now Eleanor Riorson-Tavis, Queen of Orlyth, wages war not only against the Venin, but against Navarre and the very gods themselves. The Balance is fractured, magic is unraveling, and with the Shadewing Den reborn, her name has become prophecy and curse alike.
With Garrick at her side, Noodle in her shadow, and Nox and Chradh above, Eleanor has built an empire of monsters-and she will tear the world apart piece by piece to protect what remains of her family. Her kill count climbs. Her mercy burns to ash. Her humanity slips further from reach with every battlefield she leaves empty.
But victory comes at a cost. And the deeper she walks into madness, the clearer it becomes: this was never just war. It is a reckoning. It is the endgame.
Because Eleanor isn't fighting to save the world anymore.
She's fighting to remake it.
And when the dust settles, history won't call her hero or villain. It will call her what she has always been:
Oblivion.

Summary
I’m a master of pain,
and Andarna’s loss is the deepest I’ve ever had to mask in order to survive.I am the master of pain, and the loss of all my loved ones has cost me everything.
Including my sanity. Especially that.
Violet Sorrengail was meant to die.
She knew it. She had made her peace with it. One life for thousands. One final surge of lightning to end the venin and their corruption forever. The cost was supposed to be simple.
However, Violet, being the stubborn ass girl she is, defied all odds against Malek and lived.
Her sacrifice cured all the venin; brought back those who were killed to walk the face of the Continent once again.
Including Xaden Riorson. Duke of Tyrrendor, shadow wielder, but most importantly...her husband.
But, was it really worth it? Or is there more to the story than what meets the eye?

Summary
Two years after her father’s death, Violet Sorrengail enters the Riders Quadrant with more knowledge than she should have… and far less than she needs.

When her power manifests early and pulls her into Xaden’s dreams, Violet sees something she was never meant to: a wardstone, and a clue that her father’s work may be closer, and more dangerous, than she ever imagined.
Or: Violet and Xaddy start banging. Violet manifests her dream-walking signet early and walks into one of Xaden’s dreams. Chaos ensues.
