More specifically, the Mabari war hound from the Dragon Age franchise. Meet Keir, a 200-pound, four-foot at the shoulder, all back mabari with golden brown eyes. Faithful to Violet, how will Keir switch up the story? How much chaos can one 200-pound war dog cause in the quadrant?
Yes, Violet is a dog mom who spoils her fur baby.Edits made to chapters: 1

Summary
This is my third fic in my series examining how some of my favorite side characters manifested their signet(s).
This was inspired by the Rider’s Quadrant Winter Prompt-Fest to answer the prompt: Anyone other than Violet, Xaden and Sloane and how they first manifested their signet(s). What happened? What triggered it? How did they/their dragon/their squadmates react? And most importantly - WHY that signet for that person???

Summary

Summary
The meeting of two powerful civilizations, long separated by distance and time, ignites a delicate and dangerous dance of diplomacy and deceit. As envoys and warriors cross oceans, new alliances are tested and fragile friendships are formed—but not without cost. Beneath the surface of political maneuvering, personal loyalties are strained and old wounds reopen.
~~~~~~~~~
This story takes place after the end of the Empyrean Series. Basically what happened in this version: most people survived, Andarna left to join the rest of the Irids, Violets squad graduated, Xaden and Violet take their places as Duke and Duchess of Tyrrendor, and the squad is reunited as a battalion within the Tyrrish army (Tyrrendor is still part of Navarre, but maybe not for long) with Violet still serving while maintaining her royal duties.

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. -

Summary

Summary
Imogen didn’t weep when her mother and sister burned for their part in the rebellion. She couldn’t afford to. The kingdom of Navarre had already decided her fate. Survival was a distant hope, a cruel joke in a world that wanted them dead.
Then Xaden Riorson made a deal.
In exchange for their lives, he would take their punishment and they, in turn, would be given one impossible chance: to enter the Riders Quadrant at Basgiath War College. A battlefield disguised as a school, where their only path to survival is bonding with a dragon and fighting for a kingdom that despises them.
Imogen and Garrick—both orphaned and stripped of everything they know—are placed together in the new foster system, forming an unbreakable bond as they navigate a world that sees them as traitors’ children. Forced to rely on each other for survival, their relationship deepens from an alliance of necessity into something far more complex.

Summary
In this AU take on the Fourth Wing series mixing with Dragon Age...
Zephyros Calveel is the princess of Thedas who befriended one Xaden Riorson and Garrick Tavis when she was younger. However when the world forgets Thedas, their white dragons, and the darkspawn that they have never seen or believe in, she is forced to choose between being the General her people need, and a part of the group of heroes the world needs.
When the Venin are revealed to not only be draining the land but creating creatures of nightmare that one kingdom call Darkspawn, the alliances between kingdoms of new and old are becoming fickler and more dangerous. Dragon riders, Magical kind, and fighters of all species, loyalties, and powers are required to face what could be the end of their worlds. Childhood friends joining into a fierce bond that cannot be broken may be the only way to move these tenuous alliances forward.

Summary
Winter has settled over Basgiath in the way it always does – harshly, decisively, and with absolutely no consideration for the fact that there is something very very wrong with the marked ones. Violet, however, cannot for the life of her figure out what that something is, and if there is one thing that Violet Sorrengail is unable to let go of, it’s a problem she does not yet know the answer to.
Written for the RQ 2025 Winter prompt fest!

Following Emerald Stone: The final installment
Now that they have found several pieces to the puzzle, how are Violet and Co. going to defeat the dark wielders, or will they lose it all?
This comes after Onyx Storm, and after my first installment of 'Emerald Stone'. I'd highly recommend reading that first before continuing here!

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
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
This is a canon rewrite AU where ten cadets come together to form a single squad, fighting the venin as a united front — and, in the process, reshaping the very code of Basgiath and the Riders Quadrant.
Because the original story often left side characters and dragons underdeveloped, this version focuses on expanding their personalities, relationships, and importance. It’s a group portrait in which everyone is a hero, not just a single character’s story. As a result, some characters may feel out of character (OOC) compared to canon — this is intentional. Characters like Naolin, who died in the original, are alive here and play major roles.
Xaden steps fully into his role as the leader he was meant to be, and the central relationship is Xaden × Bodhi. Their bond is emotional and central to the plot, but there will be no explicit scenes.
This AU also aims to heal broken relationships — particularly between parents and children — and to fix certain questionable plot points from canon. Most importantly, this is a world where everyone survives — alive, whole, and together.
