Summary
“Why a macchiato?” I finally ask as I steam the milk.
“Why not a macchiato?”
“Don’t be contrary.” I shoot back. “If you don’t like milk, order an espresso.”
“I do like milk.” He rests his elbows on the counter, a slow smile spreading across his face as he stares across at me.
“Then order a flat white.”
“Not that much milk.” One corner of his lips ticks up in a lopsided smirk.
My eye twitches. “F—” Fuck you, is what I was going to say, but at the last minute I realise he’s still a customer and I need to remain professional…and also I don’t want to give him the satisfaction of knowing how much he irritates me.

Summary
(Spoilers for Fourth Wing and Iron Flame)
What if Violet Sorrengail wasn’t forced into the riders quadrant on conscription day? What if she became a scribe cadet, the very thing she trained her entire life to become only to discover leadership is hiding something?
What if Xaden Riorson is searching for something in the archives? What would he do if he came across the daughter of the woman who took so many people he loved away from him? She’s just a weak little scribe right?- Language:

Summary
Violet is awake and her eyes are filled with fire when I return to our room after visiting Jack-fucking-Barlowe. Fuck. I meant to quietly pack my things and leave before she woke, but it's too late now, and she's obviously guessed my intentions because every word is full of soft fury as she stalks over to me. "I'm going to ask for the same thing I've been asking for years: I need you to listen to me. I need you to trust me and trust our friends so we can figure this out. It's hard to be vulnerable, and you might lose people you care about if you trust them and they reject you. But you sure as hell will lose everyone if you insist on shutting us out of your life."
She grabs the sides of my flight jacket, pulls me into the room, and slams the door. There is nothing I can say to make this better so I anchor my shields as strongly as I ever have and wrap my arms around her, pulling her against my chest.
I can't tell her how terrified I am. It would have been better if I had died because at least then I wouldn't be capable of hurting Violet anymore. Fuck. Sgaeyl hasn't spoken to me since the battle but I know she agrees. Better to be dead than to be this. An abomination.

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.
