Summary
Mere weeks before crossing the parapet and entering the Rider's Quadrant, Violet Sorrengail finally stumbles upon whispers of something suspicious while spying on Navarre. With the threat of falling into the ravine hanging over her head, Violet throws everything into one final attempt at finding the truth before her Conscription Day.
Before Violet is warned against the Separatist's Son and before Xaden is given his orders to keep the General's youngest alive—and despite every compelling reason they have not to trust each other—they find themselves tied together for one fateful night that will leave them forever changed.
AU of an AU, or a redux of "the life of spies is to know, not to be known" set after Chapter 3. This contains major spoilers for the Spyverse AU.

Summary
All Violet really wants is a little relief.
Newly bonded and channeling pure dragon lust thanks to Tairn, she heads to the Infantry Quadrant in search of her boyfriend Halden—only to find him in bed with someone else.
Lucky for her, her stupidly attractive wingleader has no problem stepping in. Determined to show her a better time than her ex, Xaden makes it his mission to help her hit that high—again, and again, and again.
OR

Summary
“Such a pretty little thing where she shouldn’t be, making sweet noises.” The man who is speaking is tall and imposing, flight leathers stretched over broad shoulders and a sculpted, powerful body. There’s a menacing smirk on his gorgeous face, the moonlight glinting off the hilts of two swords strapped to his back. “It seems Loial favours us on this night, cousin.”
“Indeed, Xaden,” the other man says, and from this far away, in the dark of night, she can’t tell them apart. They look nearly identical. Then the words catch up with her, and her blood runs cold. Xaden?
“Or, perhaps, Dunne?” The man called Xaden, who she begs to all the gods isn’t Xaden Riorson, glances at her coronet braid, where the silver strands are surely visible in the moonlight. “After all, it’s not every day you capture a beautiful spy on your own land, is it, Violet Sorrengail?”

Second Lieutenant Violet Sorrengail’s covert mission in Tyrrish territory goes south, and she gets caught on the wrong side of the enemy lines by cousins Xaden Riorson and Bodhi Durran – who decide to keep her.

Summary
Violet Sorrengail was 14 years old when her father, Asher, decided to bring her with him to Tyrrendor during a trip to end his most recent research. Going to Tyrrendor, they both stayed in the Duke's house, where she met four certainly interesting teenagers: Imogen Cardulo, Garrick Tavis, Bodhi Durran and Xaden Riorson — Duke Fen's only son.
Violet Sorrengail was 15 years old when the Rebellion happened — killing her brother in the process. Her father is more secretive than ever and says suspicious things every time they are alone.
Violet Sorrengail was 16 years old when her father died — but this might not be the truth after she finds a letter under her pillow the night after his funeral.
With the truth of the horrors outside of the wards now known, Violet must find a way to keep contact with her father and brother while training to join a Quadrant she never thought she would step into. And if she will be meeting old friends in the process, alongside a certain Riorson boy, good thing she will have allies.
Or, Violet finds out the truth much sooner, and becomes the biggest threat Navarre never saw coming.

Summary
After a long, hard-fought civil war, Tyrrendor is finally a sovereign nation once more under their King, Xaden Riorson, and the continent has found an uneasy peace. When a ball is held celebration of this truce, Violet Sorrengail, Navarre's most powerful dragon rider, is of course obligated to go. Luckily for her, it's a masquerade, so no one will know her identity—not even the alluring, dangerous monarch she lets take her to bed.

"You agreed to be an obedient little thing. I decide when you get touched and when you get to come." He drags his nose over my cheek, dipping his head to croon by my ear, "Learn to have patience, Violence. The wait will be good for you."Will it? Because I feel like I'm burning up already and actually, I'm not sure I did agree to that—

Summary
The once unified country of Navarre is engulfed in civil war, its largest province, Tyrrendor, attempting to secede. Violet Sorrengail fights valiantly in the name of her country. So does Xaden Riorson, Tyrrendor’s crown prince. She loathes him and he must loathe her in return—not that she cares. Unfortunately, the dragon who chose her at her Threshing complicates things.
Meeting in secret every few weeks is hard—tolerating Riorson is harder. He’s arrogant and infuriating, and he throws her completely off-balance, which might be why she doesn’t notice their water source is contaminated until it’s far too late.
—
"It's not that bad," I pant, blinking the stars from my eyes."I want to put you on your knees!" he snaps. "I want to bend you over and work my cock so far into you that—" I whimper as he slams his lips together, shaking his head, a crazed, desperate look in his eyes.

Summary
“The chase is one of the most crucial parts of courtship. It is the final test of compatibility between mates while also paying homage to our most primal instincts. Once this step is reached, it means that the omega trusts the alpha implicitly and instinctively. Severing a courtship at this stage is ill advised.”
- The Rules of Courtship: The Alpha-Omega Edition by Major Kate DaxtonIn the short break between their 2nd and 3rd year at Basgiath, Xaden wants to do what he can to help Violet destress after a very stressful couple of days. Oh, how is a poor brat supposed to accomplish this task? Surely, he wouldn't dare to use their mating bond to convince her to come running....would he?
Also say a prayer for Sgaeyl, Tairn, and Andarna because they're forced to bear witness to this insanity.
Note: This can be read on it's own, but it also fits within my AU.

Summary
The solution is simple, and it’s staring Xaden straight in the face right now. Liam knows Xaden doesn’t want him risking his life for Xaden, but the equation is clear. There is no Xaden without Violet. And there is no Liam without Xaden, because he won’t survive that. So there is no Liam without Violet.
“Put me in her squad,” Liam breathes, and watches Xaden’s eyes widen in surprise. “I can be with her, every second of every day. We can train her. Earn her trust.”
“No, Liam–”
“It’s not your choice whether I risk my life for you or not. It’s mine. I love you, and I’m making it.”
-----
In which Liam and Violet cross the parapet and are placed in Xaden's wing for very different reasons. Slowly, the three of them tangle together in a balancing act of trust, secrets and love.

Summary
If you can’t fight your enemies, you fuck them. That’s how these disputes always ended between royal families after all—in unhappy but politically convenient marriages.
---
Violet Sorrengail, lady in waiting to King Tauri's only daughter, is intent on securing an alliance between Navarre and Tyrrendor. When crown prince Xaden Riorson arrives in Calldyr to court the princess, she determines to do everything in her power to ensure they are married.
And Xaden Riorson? He would rather be anywhere but Calldyr, but his father, and his kingdom, are exhausted fighting a war on two fronts. Marrying King Tauri's daughter is the most efficient route to an alliance. Xaden's own desires don't matter when it comes to romance. They never have.
But when Xaden meets Violet, what's best for their respective kingdoms suddenly doesn't feel quite so important.

Summary
Xaden interrupts her thoughts again. “This way, darling wife.”
The glint in his eyes tells her how much he enjoys calling her that. She can practically see the possessive parts of him purring at the thought of her being his, and can’t really find it in herself to mind. Being owned by this man, by–
“There the two of you are.” Bodhi’s voice is as familiar as Xaden’s at this point, the cousins rarely apart. “Everything is ready.”
“Ready?” Violet asks, though the statement was aimed at Xaden.
Bodhi smiles kindly. “For the consummation.”

Summary
Xaden Riorson is bound by scars, secrets, and a bargain he never asked for. General Sorrengail has chained him to the survival of her youngest daughter, Violet. But the girl isn’t the fragile scribe he expected. She’s brilliant, stubborn, and already suspects that Navarre’s histories are lies. From the moment Xaden reads her intentions on the parapet, he knows she’s chasing forbidden truths about venin. Truths he’s bled to keep buried.
He should have made her fall. He swore he wanted her gone. Yet every glance pulls him tighter between his duty to the 107 marked ones and the raw attraction he can’t shut down. Violet is fire wrapped in fragile skin, and she forces him to feel what he thought had died with his father.
Now Xaden is chained to her survival, and to her dangerous pursuit of the truth. If Violet uncovers what Navarre has hidden, it could destroy everything he’s sacrificed for, and take him with it.
