Summary
“I’ve defeated hundreds of opponents on the mat, faced down venin and wyverns, and watched my own father executed in front of me, but the thought of losing this beautiful, brilliant woman lying before me because I fucked it up is the most terrifying thing I’ve ever had to grapple with.”
Xaden’s POV of the scene from Chapter 20 of Iron Flame, when he and Violet lie in bed together at Samara and talk.
Title inspired by the Gracie Abrams song.

Summary
“You’re my favourite person, Xaden.”
Xaden’s arms tightened around her and as he gazed into the hazel eyes that had haunted him since Parapet, something in his chest gave way.
“You’re my favourite person too, Violet.”
She smiled, a hazy, tipsy smile, and pressed her face into his neck.
It occurred to Xaden in that moment, that there was nowhere on the Continent he’d rather be.* * *
Violet gets drunk at Imogen’s birthday party, and Xaden helps her up to bed. Set in Aretia during Iron Flame.
Title taken from the song ‘I Like Me Better’ by Lauv

Summary
Navigating a real relationship under one roof with nosy housemates and zero privacy proves harder than battle strategy—especially when Violet’s favorite form of stress relief involves no clothes, a locked door, and a certain lieutenant. Oh, and not to mention the Venin breathing down their necks.

Xaden Riorson's Guide to Surviving A Scandal by caeli0306

Summary
Xaden Riorson - savvy businessman, senate candidate, rising political star - has many problems. One of them being Cat-sized.
Enter Violet Sorrengail - hotshot political crisis consultant, former college classmate/rival/flirtation/frenemy, general distraction when he can't afford one. His burgeoning political career depends on her making sure fake stories don't make it into the press. One minor problem - she hates his guts, which doesn't make pulling off the biggest spin of the election cycle any easier.
Xaden never could get a grasp on where Violet's animosity towards him came from, even though now he's certain it's deserved. But after years of separation, he quickly learns that some fires haven't cooled - for either of them. And it doesn't take long for him to realize that the thin line between love and hate that's always seemed to separate them is disappearing faster than the time to Election Day.

Xaden POV: Fourth Wing by belle_beebee

Summary
Xaden Riorson thought he had figured out how to survive in this place. Now in his final year at Basgiath War College, he’s risen to the rank of Wingleader. He is focused on one thing: getting every kid of the rebellion bonded to a dragon. Then the real work can begin.
But he hadn’t counted on Violet Sorrengail, the General’s daughter, entering the Rider’s Quadrant. She’s not supposed to be here and she’s about to throw every plan he has made into chaos. Can he trust her? And more importantly, can he trust himself?
This follows the dialogue and events of Rebecca Yarros’s Fourth Wing, retold from Xaden’s perspective. This was written prior to the release of Iron Flame, so all theories and speculation are my own and unconfirmed. It's my best guess at exploring how Xaden might have felt throughout the story and features new scenes with Liam, Garrick, Imogen, Sgaeyl and Tairn. Major plot spoilers from the very first chapter.
All rights belong to Rebecca Yarros – thank you for building this world and introducing us to these incredible characters!

“How did I beat you to a leadership meeting in your own room?”

Summary
*Spoilers for Iron Flame*
Xaden Riorson left Basgiath after the library heist, but quickly discovers from Tairn, that Violet was captured. He spends the good part of a week calculating a plan to expose the centuries of lies command has spun, and breaks into Basgiath to save his love from torture.
This is just Xaden's POV of chapter 36 of Iron Flame. I wanted to see it, and nobody had written so far, so I said, "I'll do it myself" and here we are✨
