Summary
Violet Sorrengail is on thin ice with her publishing company. One year after a devastating breakup, writer's block grips her. The blank page taunts. Her series finale languishes, unwritten and overdue. In a Hail Mary to preserve Violet's career and reputation, her literary agent offers his unoccupied winter home in the mountains. Suddenly, Violet is saying goodbye to her life in Philadelphia and is heading to Chattanooga to find inspiration and write her book. But when she runs into her ex-boyfriend and learns he also lives in Chattanooga, Violet is forced into a whirlwind of self-reflection and flashbacks from her love story with Xaden Riorson. Try as they might, they can't seem to stay away from each other. But maybe, just maybe, they can keep each other as friends.
Title inspired by "The Scientist" by Coldplay.

Summary
Violet hadn't felt like partying after just dumping her ex for cheating on her. But maybe Rhiannon had been right. Maybe going out to celebrate Liam's birthday hadn't been such a bad idea. After all, if she'd stayed home that night...none of this would have happened.

Summary
Violet Sorrengail hates Xaden Riorson. Xaden Riorson finds Violet Sorrengail to be the most infuriating woman he's ever met. This much is accepted fact at the University of Basgiath. So imagine big, bad Xaden's surprise when he finds himself thrust into the role of watching out for Violet on an evening where she has decided that Fireball whiskey is her best friend. That wouldn't normally be a problem, except for that one-night stand both of them pretend never happened and how Xaden is secretly in love with her. No biggie.

Summary
“I was thinking we could drive somewhere. Get far enough away that we won't run into anyone we know. A little getaway, just the two of us.” His lips pulled into that small, secretive smile that Violet loved. The one that was just for her. “Maybe an Airbnb in some small town out in the mountains?”

Xaden takes Violet on a weekend getaway, and they finally go on their first proper date.

Summary
Between my aching joints and the run-in with my mother, I am unsurprisingly still in a pissed off mood when I jog the last hallway a few minutes later and push open the door to the gym. I try to slow my breathing and my heart rate as I take a few steps over to him.
“You’re late, Sorrengail,” Xaden greets me, standing with his arms crossed.
“Fuck off, Xaden.” Damn it, I still sound breathless.
He raises his eyebrows and smirks. “You do realize I have many important things to do besides train you, right?”
“This was your idea, remember?” I fire back, bending down to check that the wraps on my knees are still in place. “Feel free to go attend to your important to-do list, don’t let me keep you.”
“That’s no way to thank your wingleader.”
***
A sparring practice between Violet and Xaden, taking place sometime during Chapter 31 of Fourth Wing. During that angsty time where Violet refuses to have sex with him again until he admits he has feelings, so sometime between her signet manifesting and Reunification Day.

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
If you can’t fight your enemies, you fuck them. That’s how these disputes always ended between royal families after all—in unhappy but politically convenient marriages.
---
Violet Sorrengail, lady in waiting to King Tauri's only daughter, is intent on securing an alliance between Navarre and Tyrrendor. When crown prince Xaden Riorson arrives in Calldyr to court the princess, she determines to do everything in her power to ensure they are married.
And Xaden Riorson? He would rather be anywhere but Calldyr, but his father, and his kingdom, are exhausted fighting a war on two fronts. Marrying King Tauri's daughter is the most efficient route to an alliance. Xaden's own desires don't matter when it comes to romance. They never have.
But when Xaden meets Violet, what's best for their respective kingdoms suddenly doesn't feel quite so important.
