You Can Have Your Cake (and eat it, too) by grifterandthief for ellebellewritesfic
Fandoms: The Empyrean - Rebecca Yarros
16 Mar 2026
Tags
Summary
On the first birthday of Xaden and Violet's daughter, Sloane asks Dain the innocent question of what his favorite cake is. Upon learning he has never had a birthday cake, Sloane devolves into a very simple plan.
30 cakes in 30 days to find his favorite (hopefully, before their own son is born.)
(and a lot of feelings about her brother in the mean time).
TLDR:
Do you like sloane having friends? do you like sloane having emotions? do you like sloane pretending she is not in fact in the final days approaching motherhood by baking cakes? This may be the fic for you!

Summary
Her eyes. Hers. Sloane’s face whips towards her husband, whose limp hand on her thigh where she is sitting up tells her that he is just as asleep as Dain is.
“You just said that as a placeholder. Right?” Sloane asks Aaric, suddenly wide awake.
There’s no answer. Her husband is quiet, his breaths as even and steady as Dain’s, who is lying behind him, probably drooling into his pillow.
“Aaric?” Sloane hisses quietly, trying not to wake Dain. “Aaric? Fuck you, you can’t just say that and fall asleep!”
But he’s out for the count.
