Summary
All Violet really wants is a little relief.
Newly bonded and channeling pure dragon lust thanks to Tairn, she heads to the Infantry Quadrant in search of her boyfriend Halden—only to find him in bed with someone else.
Lucky for her, her stupidly attractive wingleader has no problem stepping in. Determined to show her a better time than her ex, Xaden makes it his mission to help her hit that high—again, and again, and again.
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
Starting as strangers, over the course of a few years, Violet and Xaden meet at different weddings and their obvious attraction doesn't seem to take 'no' for an answer.
Four weddings, four seasons, more plot than I had originally intended. Come for the smut, stay for the possibility of a happy ending.

Summary
“We’re not in this place to be perfect, Peter,” James says to him, staring at the hovering moon, smoke clouding in front of his face. “We just have to be, in the way we think we ought to.”
“I don’t think I do a very good job of that,” Peter says.
James looks at him, then looks away. “None of us do,” he says. “We all care the most about the things that don’t really matter in the end. What matters is us. Just us. We’re all fucked in the head, and a bit brash, but we wouldn’t be us if we weren’t. We wouldn’t be doing the universe justice if we didn’t live the way she meant for us to.”
A moment.
“James?”
“Yes, Pete?”
“How do you think you’d want to die?”
James closes his eyes. “With friends,” he says. “Quietly, and surrounded by friends. That’s when I’m at my best, so that’s how I want to go.”
or, seven years is a long time. read closely, and there you'll find a glimpse of it all in clumsy unfolding fractals.
