Summary
Violet thought things would get easier for her once she bonded a dragon.
But when Tairn’s mating bond with Sgaeyl apparently requires their riders to consummate a bond of their own, she finds herself in a situation that can only be described as …complicated.
Because Sgaeyl’s rider is none other than Xaden Riorson, the enemy king who murdered her mother.
And when their unconsummated bond leaves them both getting sicker and sicker, Violet and Xaden are left with two options: find another solution, or get very, very comfortable with each other. Fast.
Surely there’s another solution. There has to be… right?

Summary
"I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault."
****
I've been told one should never waste a crisis, and I do not deny this advice, but for the purposes of this story, the proverb should be amended.
One should never waste a crisis — of faith.

Summary
"You have got to be FUCKING kidding me."
"Language, Violet." Lilith Sorrengail's gaze is disapproving.
"Respectfully, ma'am, I have trained as a figure skater my whole life. And now you're telling me I need to play hockey? At Basgiath? As a WALK-ON?" My mother is many things. Unhinged was not one I would have seen coming, given the carefully controlled, cold façade she wears 99% of the time. But there's no way else to explain this other than unhinged.
****
The transition to college is hard enough, but Violet Sorrengail also gets to add "attempting to become a hockey player" on her plate ... as well as avoid Xaden Riorson and his crew, thanks to some sketchy shit that went down with their parents and the (now-closed) University of Aretia. Or so she was always told. But things are never exactly what they seem ...

Summary
Xaden Riorson survived the rebellion, the execution of his father, and the weight of leading a revolution built on secrets.
But years before Violet Sorrengail ever entered his life, he made one reckless mistake that left him with something far more dangerous than rebellion: A daughter.
Now, in the aftermath of "Fourth Wing", Violet is forced to navigate a hidden Aretia, a living brother she thought was dead, and a love she no longer knows how to trust. But when she meets an eight-year-old girl adored by everyone closest to Xaden, Violet begins to realize there are still truths buried beneath the half-truths and omissions between them.
And some secrets have the power to change everything.

Summary
🗡️ Our favorite Imogen/Garrick moments from the Empyrean series, re-written from their point of view. Some scenes have added content, but we're sticking to canon.
🔎 This is a collection of stand-alone chapters. If you're looking for a longer, ongoing, canon-compliant fic, The Things We Do For Armies & Allies is my other work that features Mira & Drake.
🫶 Don't mind the "13" chapter count. This is an ongoing WIP that will have at least 13 chapters, but there will also be an unknown number of chapters added after the release of books 4 & 5 as well.

Summary
“Silver One.” And there's something almost like grief in it. “You have never understood. This was decided long before your kind drew breath.”
“Tairn—” The name is a sob, across the distance, across the bond.
“Dragon matters do not bend to human wars.”
~~
When Tairn finds his mate across the battlefield, Violet has no choice in what follows.
Torn between loyalty and the new bonds she can't deny, maybe it's surrender that takes the most courage...

Summary
Two years after her father’s death, Violet Sorrengail enters the Riders Quadrant with more knowledge than she should have, far less training than she needs, and a locked journal full of secrets she can barely begin to understand. Fresh off a breakup with the heir to Navarre, she isn’t looking for complications, but nothing prepares her for Xaden Riorson, or the dangerous ease they fall into with each other.
When her power manifests early and pulls her into Xaden’s dreams, Violet sees something she was never meant to: a wardstone, forbidden runes, and proof that her father’s work may be closer, and more dangerous, than she ever imagined.
Or: Violet manifests her dream-walking signet early, walks into one of Xaden’s dreams, and makes everyone’s lives significantly more complicated.

Summary
Garrick Tavis never could figure out why, one day late in college, Imogen Cardulo seemed to suddenly hate him. Or why he never seemed to fly with her, despite being on the same plane, in the same base. But then, the universe gifted him one chance overtime trip where she would be his FO ... and he was determined to learn the reasons why. Why he's apparently on her no-fly list. Why their friendship ended.
And maybe why he's never been able to get her out of his head.
As for Imogen? She definitely has her reasons for avoiding the man ... protecting her heart being the main one.
****
Violet pauses at her door handle. "Does it say who you're flying with?"
"Shit, I didn't even check. Hang on." Imogen goes back into the app. She reads the name and the color drains out of her face.
"Im?" Imogen looks up to see the concerned face of her friend. "Are you okay?"
"No," she grits out, "because I'm flying with Garrick fucking Tavis."

Summary
When Xaden Riorson accepts a job editing content for Only Fans creator Violet Sorrengail, he had another motive than keeping the creeps she smiles at in chat in line. And it's definitely not because someone has to tell DA.Rules he has it all wrong. She looks better in blue than red. Anyone who's seen the members-only post knows that. He only checked for work purposes, okay?
She is used to working behind the camera, a professional. But how long can Violet keep pretending she's posing for PrinZ_HT when the only man she wants to impress is the one standing behind the lens?

Summary
Xaden looked at her again, his eyes flaring. “I thought that because you were meant to have someone that you shouldn’t have me. You deserved more than me. But I really want you, Violet. I choose you and I want you to choose me and I don’t give a fuck if the universe says you’re not meant to be mine.”
or
in a world where you see colour up until your soulmate dies, xaden riorson has never seen anything but black & white in his life. violet sorrengail lost the ability at 11.
but maybe the universe never truly gave up on either of them.
