Summary
Violet got some not so lovely feedback from her editors. Her sex scenes need more. The problem? Her vanilla boring ass exes who never really knew how to show her a good time. Enter Xaden Riorson, sort-of-celebrity private chef and neighbor down the hall who just loves to rile her up.
When an offer from him comes through to help her spice up her novel, she has a hard time resisting...And then she doesn't resist at all.

Violet Sorrengail's Guide to Spinning a Scandal by caeli0306 for Cee_Darling (Cee_darling)

Summary
Violet Sorrengail is a highly effective political crisis consultant. Xaden Riorson is poised to win his late father's old senate seat. The hatred between the two runs deep, but its been years since their fiery classroom debates in college, and Violet was certain she'd never cross paths with him again, until her expertise is required to keep doctored stories that could sink Xaden's campaign from gaining traction just before the general election.
The chemistry is off-the-charts, the tension has every other staffer fleeing when the two end up in the same room, and the fire that existed between them is as hot as ever. But as time goes on, Violet begins to realize exactly how true the saying, "There's a thin line between love and hate," really is.

Summary
This was never meant to matter. And yet, somewhere between his shadows and her echoes, it began to.
Lysa had watched him from a distance. Measured his silences. Memorized the way his shadows lingered against her skin when no one else was looking. She told herself it was instinct. Just magic. Just the mission.
But Xaden had looked at her too closely, understood her without her having to explain herself. Spoke to her like he’d already read the parts of her she’d never dared to show. And she hated how much she wanted to believe that he meant it.
They lived in a world where trust got people killed. Where closeness was a liability. And still, somehow, they kept finding their way back to each other.
Even when the truth had the power to ruin everything.

OR
What if Halden and Violet never broke up and are still dating during her first year? And what if she finds out he’s cheating and Xaden is there to help her get over it?

Summary
When Violet returns from a trip to visit her mom and walks in on her boyfriend of three years cheating, she suddenly finds herself searching for a new home. Enter her best friend's boyfriend's old roommates and the still-empty bedroom in their apartment. After an awkward meeting at the bar, where she manages to insult the one most opposed to a new roommate, they decide to give it a chance. Except now she can't escape her annoying(ly hot) roommate.
When Xaden's roommate and best friend moved in with his girlfriend of 2 years, he thought the empty bedroom would stay empty. It's not like they need help with the rent. Then she tells them about her best friend, who was recently cheated on, going through his own breakup; he feels enough camaraderie to agree to meet her. After getting scolded in his own bar by the most beautiful woman he's ever seen, he agrees more readily than any of his roommates would expect. Now his apartment smells like flowers, his dog won't sleep in his room anymore, and his roommates won't stop giving him shit.

Summary
Mira wants to believe she’s moved on from the magnetic pull of Syrena Cordella, the striking woman she met in London. But the truth is, that encounter left Mira haunted by what she didn’t do. So when their paths cross again in Florence, Mira must confront the opportunity for a second chance... with the woman who makes her pulse quicken, her thoughts spin, and her body ache in ways she can’t explain.
This story is set in the Mile High Lie universe, so we do recommend reading that fic before this one, though it's not necessary as this story can stand alone.

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.

"Sorry. Not Mira.
...the fuck?
I’d offer to pick you up, but we’re strangers. I can Venmo you for an Uber if that helps.
......I texted the wrong number.
Spot on."
(It's your classic modern wrong number AU, friends.)
(Texts from Violet are italicized, and texts from Xaden are in bold font. Title is from THE Xaden x Violet song, in my humble opinion, "Figure You Out" by Voila.) (Note 7/3/25: BingAI images are being replaced by original art! Cannot wait to share @TheComfyWitch💙)
