Summary
Violet is happy to helm story time for the early-learners group occasionally—it is her bookstore after all—but she has no interest in catering it for the holidays. None. Nada. And for the last time, there will be no tinsel in this building, Ridoc!
Enter Xaden Riorson: handsome tattoo artist and single dad. He's just trying his best to make ends meet, get his daughter to that reading-session-thing she likes so much, and make sure she has the best Christmas now that she's old enough to remember it.
Oh, and convince the gorgeous bookstore owner that the holidays aren't so bad after all if they celebrate them together. That too.

Flirting with Death (and Possibly Brennan) by wedonotsharekills

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

Summary
She’s gotten very good at that practice. Ignoring her feelings, pushing it down, willing it away. There was a period in her life when she would confront those feelings, let herself fall just a bit. Because maybe, just maybe, she thought someone would be on the other side to catch her.
But that was then, and this is now. Now, she wouldn’t dare believe that Clark Kent felt a fraction of what she felt for him.

Summary
“Hey, Marinette?” he whispered, not wanting to wake her if she was asleep.
“Yes?” she mumbled.
“Can I detransform?”
Her eyes shot open.
“Uh,” she said, now fully awake. “I don’t know if I’m ready to know who you are. I feel like there’s so much to consider.”
“You don’t have to,” he spoke into her hair, giving her chills. “We can keep cuddling, just like this. You won’t be able to see me.”
