Summary
When something happens to the original planner of Aretia's annual Christmas Eve Ball (which is also being used to formally announce the new duke), said new duke Xaden Riorson has to scramble to find a replacement.
Halden Tauri doesn't want his girlfriend, event planner Violet Sorrengail, to work in general ... much less take on some last minute gig in Aretia. But Violet loves her job and chooses to go as a favor to her boss, completely unaware of the magic waiting for her in the Christmas Capital of Amaralys ...

Summary
What if Rhaenyra Targaryen played the game smarter? A secret union between her and Daemon produced silver haired Targaryen children instead of brown ones, turning the tide of the dance before it even begins. Among them is her only daughter, Daenyra. Some say she is Alysanne come again. Daenyra loves her family fiercely, and is her daddy's little girl.
Cregan Stark is bold and unyielding, a stern but young warden of the north. When fire and ice cross paths, they discover a passion hotter than dragon fire but cooler than ice.
--
I LOVEEEE Cregan Stark, but there are not enough fics about him. I decided I would write my own :)

Summary
When a king’s dream forces Rhaenyra Targaryen from the Iron Throne, she retreats to Dragonstone. Not to disappear, but to rise. As she builds her own power in the shadows, a war-worn Daemon Targaryen returns with an offer that could unite dragons or set the realm ablaze. Some say Viserys saved the realm by disinheriting her. Others whisper he may have doomed it.

Summary
"I will never be a son"
Rhaenyra decides to prepare for the possibility of being disinherited by a son when her father decides to remarry.
My inspirations:
Dragonstone by ciemai
Greatness in Black Silk by RedandBlack
Dragon dreams and how they Create and Destroy Dynastie's by amberpopcornuts
I absolutely love their concept and wanted to write something that mixes all three.
This is a translation of my own work in Portuguese

Summary
Dain
“Ground! Now!”
I don’t question the command, digging my toes into my mental haven. The chaos settles, redirecting to my hands. The world goes dark, and visions play across my mind, short vignettes from Mira’s perspective, all revolving around Violet. Violet. Gods, there she is. Absolutely radiant. I could drink in her visage—that smile, that hair—all day. She’s the drop of sunshine in an otherwise cloudy existence.
The visions shift like reflections on water, blending and jumping into each other, only giving me glimpses in a strange, disjointed way. Though I don’t recognize any one particular scene, it all feels familiar, like I’m revisiting a world from a long forgotten dream, and somehow I’m now privy to information I have no business knowing. Vi hooking up with an infantry soldier for instance. Ew. I did not need to know that.
In a blink, I’m back to myself.
Whoa. What was that?
“Cath?”
“That was your signet. You’ve manifested.”

How Dain gets his signet. Told as a song fic.

Summary
“Wait!” Violet yelled out, on the edge of the dream’s conscious plane, pleading, “I know that was your dream!” her voice echoed in the dark room, painful reverberations bouncing about in her head. And all that remained was empty silence. She’d gone from his dream to hers, and wherever the in-between was, this was the void that now separated them.
Xaden was icing her out. He didn’t want her to find him, not even in his dreams.
And so, she decided, I’ll just have to follow the cold and find you.
Because when had Violet ever followed a single rule Xaden had asked her to follow?

Summary
Violet slipped through the door just after midnight, careful to make no noise, boots left in the hallway. She paused at the threshold, glancing down at her daughter, and I could see it in her eyes—equal parts relief and guilt.
“She’s asleep,” I said softly, watching Fenna’s tiny hands curl over the blanket.
Violet nodded, crouching beside the bed. Her fingers hovered over Fenna’s hair, brushing back a stray curl without touching her face too harshly. “Oh… she really misses me,” she whispered.
“She did well, considering,” I said, taking a deep breath, “that she threw a tantrum and made me reconsider the thought if flying into battle or trying to calm an agitated toddler was more fearful.”
—
Or Violet’s first day back on patrol after Fenna’s birth and Xaden has to figure out how to juggle a toddler and his duties in one hand.

Always Yours | Brennan Sorrengail / Fem OC by Whorewholovesbooks
Fandoms: The Empyrean - Rebecca Yarros
02 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
Six years ago, Seraphine Sorrengail lost her husband, Brennan Sorrengail, the man who held her heart as though it were the most fragile treasure. He vanished—or so she believed—leaving behind quiet rooms, long nights, and a grief that settled like winter’s hush over her soul.
Now he has returned, alive, carrying secrets and willing to do whatever it takes to reclaim the life and love they once shared. Time has changed them both, yet the bond that held them close whispers still. As Brennan pleads, confesses, and tenderly fights for her trust, Seraphine feels herself drawn back into the love she thought lost, falling for him all over again with a quiet, relentless longing.
Amid regret, hope, and the echo of everything they have endured, one question remains: can a marriage separated by six years of silence be made whole again?

Love, the Riorsons by FairieQueen for anastronomicalsmile
Fandoms: The Empyrean - Rebecca Yarros
13 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
The warm, bright scent of citrus filters through the first floor as I climb a stool to tuck the lights around the tree in the living room. Xaden stands on the other side, not, on a step stool, wrapping the strand on his side before passing it back to me. During school, I’d never really decorated for the holidays, and since my dad passed, Lilith rarely decorated the house. The past few Christmases, I'd tagged along with either Rhi or Xaden, preferring their homes to my own. But this year is the first year in our home. It’s the townhouse Xaden grew up in, but we’ve made it our own. I love it here, it’s a blend of how it was when Xaden was young and of the life we want to build together. It’s the first place I’ve ever lived that immediately felt like home. Which is likely due more to the man across from me than any of the house’s inherent magic, but whose to say.

Happy Holidays!
Love,
The Riorsons✨✨✨
