Summary
When Sloane has to seek shelter in a cave from a thunderstorm while out on patrol, the last person she'd want to be stranded with is Dain Aetos.
And the last person she'd expect to worry over losing due an injury is, too, Dain Aetos.
But here they are, and the threat of losing her wingleader opens Sloane's eyes to feelings she's harbored for longer than she would want to admit.

Bookmarker's Notes
The whole series is full of smart and snappy dialogue, witty and insightful characters, amazing world building, and just a fun story!! Classified Affairs includes my absolute favorite versions of Sloane and Dain 💗 Don't sleep on the Declassified chapters either, I didn't think I needed an alternate POV but I was very, very wrong.

Summary
Lady Sloane Mairi never entered the Quadrant or bonded a dragon. Instead, she’s spent the last decade exasperating her aristocratic guardians, who expect her to do little besides mind her manners, smile pretty, and marry well. So when a politically-advantageous betrothal is finally secured, Sloane figures an arranged marriage will at least grant her some autonomy. After all, how hard is it to handle a husband?As it turns out, pretty damn hard, because the broad shoulders waiting at the end of the aisle belong to Colonel Dain Aetos, a jaded officer who gave everything to the war effort...and is decidedly Not Amused to find himself bringing home a tempestuous heiress.
Bound by law for the next four months, the couple merely has to endure their handfasting and they are free to part ways. But past wounds want healing, unexpected bonds demand forging, and blistering chemistry promises to set their plans aflame.
****
(Or, the arranged marriage, post-war, grumpy-gremlin AU in which Sloane is the feisty aristocrat who never went to Basgiath and Dain is the decorated war hero who is barely holding it together)

Flirting with Death (and Possibly Brennan) by wedonotsharekills
Fandoms: The Empyrean - Rebecca Yarros

Summary
Everyone’s been wondering what Violet Sorrengail was up to in the twelve hours before the end of Onyx Storm. But what about Ridoc?
Well. Between dodging wyvern fire, nearly freezing himself solid, and watching his squadmates make increasingly questionable decisions, he’s about one bad landing away from a full-blown crisis.
Not to mention:
✔ His dragon won’t stop roasting him (literally and figuratively).
✔ His best friend is missing, probably doing something reckless.
✔ The resident war criminal is probably evil now.
✔ His Wingleader and Sloane are too busy pretending they don’t have unresolved tension.
✔ And worst of all? Brennan Sorrengail is hot. Like, inconveniently hot.Series

The Fine Line Between Courtship and Homicide by wedonotsharekills
Fandoms: The Empyrean - Rebecca Yarros

Summary
Everyone’s been wondering what Violet Sorrengail was up to in the twelve hours before the end of Onyx Storm. Everyone already knows what Ridoc Gamlyn was doing.
But what about Sloane?
Well. Between carrying the weight of killing General Sorrengail, fearing her own signet more than the venin, and trying to remember what it feels like to hold onto something without losing it, she’s barely keeping herself together.
Not to mention:
✔ Her dragon is acting buddy-buddy with the worst-breathed dragon in the Empyrean.
✔ Secrets are coming out left, right, and centre—and not a single one of them is good.
✔ She only has a week left to win her bet with Aaric: that Ridoc will, somehow, manage to pull Violet's big brother.
✔ And worst of all? She can't decide if she wants Dain Aetos dead, humbled, or pressed up against a wall.Series

Summary
Over the course of her short life, Sloane Mairi has grieved for her parents, her province, and now her brother. Her grief and anger could easily consume her, but without them, how would she go on?
Dain Aetos isn't sure who he is or what he's doing. Lately, he's begun to doubt everything he's ever known, himself most of all. Lately, he's been looking for answers to questions he's never thought to ask before.
Can these two broken souls find peace in the unlikeliest of places: each other?
PLEASE NOTE: This is an edited (read: polished), reformatted version of We Can't Be Friends, which I am posting solely for my own pleasure. This version of the story includes a dizzying amount of new epigraphs, new content, and slight deviations to the events of the original story. It does not supersede the original.
