Summary
She felt him dying. The pain, the hopelessness, the agony...it was feeding into her soul. She was watching her mother give her life to the ward stone. She was feeling everything and nothing. She wouldn't give up. She screamed and lashed out. Tairn power ripples with Andarna's, both of them filling me up and expanding, and I don't know why, but instead of pushing it out like I normally do, I pull it into myself. I feel Xaden with me; I feel his soul nestled next to me. I pull more and more til I'm screaming. Then the world goes dark... and starts anew.
*All the spoilers. However, it's a new world. Not everything will be the same.

Summary
*Set post-Onyx Storm
Bodhi never expected to survive Draithus—let alone wake up with the memory of a silver-haired girl from his childhood burning in his mind. As the pieces come together, he realizes that girl is Violet Sorrengail. And she’s not just alive… she’s married to Xaden, mourning, and on the brink of ruin.
Now Duke of Tyrrendor, Bodhi is stuck navigating a province in upheaval, an Assembly hungry for someone to blame, and feelings for Violet he’s buried since he was eight. As secrets unravel and the line between duty and want blurs, Bodhi finds himself asking: What if he met her first for a reason?

Summary
After the Battle of Draithus, Sloane is confused by the weight of two haunting words—you're life. Like an echo from her past, igniting a wildfire of hidden memories, she turns to Dain.
With their squad's trust in command already in tatters, they lean on each other like never before. Working together, testing their loyalties, their power and questioning the truths they were raised to believe and fight for. This is an imagining of what comes next focusing on the Fourth Wing Squad. Not canon compliant but respective as RY is a bloody legend.
Long work in progress.
For slow burn start at chapter 2, for smut skip to 21, then 28 lol. Chapter 1 will be AI generated reference images, I update randomly.

Summary
In Harry’s oh so humble opinion, Kingsley Shacklebolt, their current Minister of Magic, jinxed them. Or cursed them. Or just dared the universe to become a problem. It was supposed to be a simple case.
If not for the bloody Portkey.

Summary
Ignoring your feelings is one thing.
Trying to deny them when your dragon is in your mind all day is another thing.
Sloane is sure she doesn't feel anything positive for Dain. How could she? He's the reason her brother died. She can't possibly forgive him?

Summary
Violet and Liam are inexplicably drawn to one another, something more than friendship but neither of them dare to cross the line when they know that Violet and Xaden are inevitable...
I don't know how I feel about this story but I wanted to explore what it could look like if Liam had fallen for Violet and she had feelings for him which were blinded by her attraction and bond to Xaden.

Summary
Run.
The word has haunted Elliot Calista's mind since that terrible day years ago. Memories of fear, chaos, and betrayal swirl like a storm she can never fully escape. But Elliot is done running. She's determined to face her problems head-on, with resolve that none will expect. She's not the girl they knew in Tyrrendor anymore.
Dain Aetos senses something different about the first-year woman a few squads over. Cadet Calista shouldn't concern him-she's not even in his squad or section-yet, he can't shake the feeling she's hiding secrets. His father's stern warning echoes: stay away from Calista. But that advice feels impossible; from their first meeting, she socked him in the jaw. He can't stop thinking about her.
Liam Mairi, Ellie's longtime friend, is in his squad with Bodhi Durran's help. But beneath his easy smile lies a deeper truth-Liam has cared for her longer than mere friendship. He thought she was dead for years, but seeing her again reignited his childhood crush. Does Ellie realize how much she means to him?
Unbeknownst to all, Elliot has bonded a fiery dragon that refuses to let her be harmed.
Elliot Calista doesn't know how to give up. She is a warrior, a fighter...
A Valkyrie. -

Summary
This story picks up a few months after the end of Onyx Storm. Violet and her allies are losing badly to the dark wielders, friends and loved ones already dead, their defenses crumbling. Xaden is gone, consumed by venin power, and despite months of searching, Violet cannot find him or any cure.
Then Andarna returns from her time with the Irids, more mature and aware of her abilities. She re-bonds with Violet. She reveals that Irids have a unique connection to magic, making what they channel flexible, able to be shaped to nearly anything. Together, Andarna, Tairn, and Violet decide their only hope is to bend time itself.
Their plan: send Violet, Xaden, Andarna, Tairn, and Sgaeyl back to the months before the apostasy. Aaric (Cam Tauri) and his dragon Molvic, gifted with foresight, confirm that this path offers a chance at victory with one catch: Duke Fen Riorson must be convinced to organize a rebellion in secret, working from the shadows to avoid Melgren’s battle forsight, rather than declaring open secession and plunging Tyrrendor into war against Navarre. Any course that puts Tyrrendor on a path to direct military conflict with Navarre cannot win.
Or, another Fourth Wing Empyrean time travel au.

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.
