Summary
It took only a few minutes for Violet to figure out what purpose she served.
No one said it out loud—not yet, but they’d get there—but they kept throwing out words like formalizing alliances and uniting two groups, and she understood.
Violet was a sacrificial lamb, and Xaden Riorson was the wolf, and her slaughter would be their marriage.

Summary
"Its nothing important, nothing that should interest you at least." She dismissed passively.
I still press gently, "Its enough to keep you grounded, Silver One. If you are worried that the Golden One would overhear, she is asleep under a tree and I can shield her out."
"No need, besides, you shouldn't have to worry about your rider's problems. I know you don't like it when I nag." a quick deflection from her, and one I scoff at down our bond.
"Then let it not be a problem between a Dragon and Rider but between an Elder and Hatchling."

Summary
“You want to have an heir?” The skepticism is palpable in his tone, as though he’s sure he must have misunderstood her. She doesn’t quite blame him.
“No,” she replies, painfully honest. “I want to have a baby, Xaden. But I’m willing to give you an heir.”
Lonely, desperate, and miserable, Violet’s life as reluctant queen of Tyrrendor in a post-war Aretia is less fairytale and more nightmare. When the husband she never asked for denies her the one last thing she’d hoped could improve her situation, she breaks.
A tale of love and despair – and of how sometimes you need to break completely in order to heal and then, eventually, live.

Summary
So here’s the warning I will give you about loving my brother, Xaden. He’ll keep caring for everyone else except for himself until he can’t give anymore. Then he retreats into himself.
You and Violet need to keep him from doing this, and I’m holding you accountable for that.
-Recovered correspondence of Cadet Sloane Mairi to Second Lieutenant Xaden Riorson

Don't You Dream Impossible Things? by grifterandthief

Summary
Recently, something just seemed softer about her to her friends. Maybe it was her free hair, maybe it was her seemingly constant smile, or maybe it was that for the first time in her short life she lived in a time of relative tranquility.
As tranquil as it could be as the twenty four year old Queen of a newly independent country, but she’ll take it as peace nonetheless.
TLDR: Here amongst the hatching grounds, Violet and Xaden muse in the dream that is their lives
Pre "At Every Table" but obviously stands alone :)

Summary
A collection of missing scenes or alternate POVs from The Empyrean series. Creative liberties will be taken and “what ifs” explored, but I’m aiming for plausible scenarios or logical conclusions that run parallel to canon/are canon adjacent.
I’m not holding back, so please read the full Empyrean series before reading mine because I will include spoilers.
These are being written out of order as inspiration strikes, so make sure to check the series notes for new chapters that may appear earlier in the series.
They are all part of the same universe, and some will reference each other. I decided to split them up like this rather than making it one giant story to make each part stand alone and more digestible. Easier to write and read at leisure, but they are all connected and will have overarching through lines. If you like one, please consider reading them all for the full story.
Scene suggestions are welcome.
Thanks, all! Happy reading. 😊

Summary
Andarna
“When I grow up, I’m going to have the bravest rider!”
“Well that’s not possible. I already have the bravest rider. It’s one of the things that makes her so strong.”
“Andarna! Let the others speak. It is not your turn yet.”
I chuff in annoyance. “They’re taking too long!”
“Because you keep interrupting them.” Elder Nanna explains as though I’m a hatchling.
Never mind that I’ve existed longer than her entire family line.

Summary
The body is the egg with the soul waiting within, that is the only thing that Violet could explain to what she and her siblings are. While she walks with her vessel in the waking world, only when she and everyone else rests is where her true self comes to shine. This part of herself should have been a gift, but the Empyrean's gaze does not fall on her and humans have a taste for dominance.
