Summary
Theirs is a tale written in fragments: in touches that never lingered long enough, in words left unsaid, in moments missed not by accident, but by design. Their love story was always written in the margins—glimpsed in stolen glances, held together by silence and circumstance, by longing restrained rather than shared. It was forged in the fire of war and betrayal, in the quiet space between who they were and who they had to become. And now, as the world shifts beneath their feet and the past refuses to stay buried, fates become entwined once more, both Violet and Xaden find themselves haunted not just by the memory of what they had, but by the hollow absence of what they never dared to reach for.
Because how can a love like theirs ever end… when it never had the chance to truly begin?
(A Post Onyx Storm Fic).

Summary
Violet Sorrengail never expected her quiet life to collide with her neighbor’s—Xaden Riorson, a guarded single father with shadows in his past. Drawn together by Saturday mornings and the little girl who adores them both, Violet and Xaden must navigate trust, longing, and the secrets that could destroy everything before it begins.

Summary
The emergence of a novel venin signet sends Xaden and the other riders scrambling to the front as a last-stand defensive line. When Violet discovers something unexpected, she's drawn into active battle for the first time where the stakes couldn't be higher. Her knowledge could be the turning point needed to win the attack, though not without the cost of lives. Xaden would give anything to save her, but even his power can fall short.
Set in the same AU as In Any Life, I'll Always Find You where Navarre never hid the venin and Violet entered the scribe quadrant.

Summary
They tried to break her. Torture her. Kill her.
Instead, they forged her into a weapon.
Now Eleanor Riorson-Tavis, Queen of Orlyth, wages war not only against the Venin, but against Navarre and the very gods themselves. The Balance is fractured, magic is unraveling, and with the Shadewing Den reborn, her name has become prophecy and curse alike.
With Garrick at her side, Noodle in her shadow, and Nox and Chradh above, Eleanor has built an empire of monsters-and she will tear the world apart piece by piece to protect what remains of her family. Her kill count climbs. Her mercy burns to ash. Her humanity slips further from reach with every battlefield she leaves empty.
But victory comes at a cost. And the deeper she walks into madness, the clearer it becomes: this was never just war. It is a reckoning. It is the endgame.
Because Eleanor isn't fighting to save the world anymore.
She's fighting to remake it.
And when the dust settles, history won't call her hero or villain. It will call her what she has always been:
Oblivion.

Summary
This is a canon rewrite AU where ten cadets come together to form a single squad, fighting the venin as a united front — and, in the process, reshaping the very code of Basgiath and the Riders Quadrant.
Because the original story often left side characters and dragons underdeveloped, this version focuses on expanding their personalities, relationships, and importance. It’s a group portrait in which everyone is a hero, not just a single character’s story. As a result, some characters may feel out of character (OOC) compared to canon — this is intentional. Characters like Naolin, who died in the original, are alive here and play major roles.
Xaden steps fully into his role as the leader he was meant to be, and the central relationship is Xaden × Bodhi. Their bond is emotional and central to the plot, but there will be no explicit scenes.
This AU also aims to heal broken relationships — particularly between parents and children — and to fix certain questionable plot points from canon. Most importantly, this is a world where everyone survives — alive, whole, and together.
Note: English is not my first language, so I rely on ChatGPT for editing. Feedback is always appreciated!

The Empyrean: Fourth Wing (Xaden's POV) by alexa_raye

Summary
Newly appointed to the rank of Wingleader, Xaden Riorson only has one goal for his third and final year at Basgiath: Get all the marked ones bonded and graduated so they might stand a fighting chance against the true evil lurking at Navarre’s borders. The only problem is that Violet Sorrengail, his enemy’s youngest daughter, has also joined the Rider’s Quadrant this year. He doesn’t know why she’s here, what her plans are, or if he can trust her. All he knows is that he can’t seem to stay away.
This is a rewrite of my previous fic “The Wingleader – Xaden’s POV”. It’s a Fourth Wing retelling from Xaden’s POV with new Iron Flame updates. It follows the dialogue and chapter timeline from Fourth Wing with my own interpretations and theories of Xaden’s actions and feelings.
Do not read if you haven’t finished both FW AND IF - major spoilers from BOTH books throughout!
All rights and characters belong to Rebecca Yarros.

Summary
"I remember the darkness. It was only supposed to be for a moment, just a small break. A short nap in between jobs. Nothing more. Just a second. The pain came seconds later. It was everywhere, all encompassing. Then, nothing else. Just darkness. It was like swimming through oil. Before I woke up, it was all just darkness. When I did, I was somewhere else and someone else entirely."
Death was supposed to be the end. The end of her and her rest. She believed that. At least partially.
And not unlike before, she really couldn't seem to die. But unlike before, her survival was not her choice. This was out of her hands. Now... Sierra Logan was not Sierra Logan. She was supposed to be Anika Durran because she was in the girl's body. In another world that was... too entirely familiar.
She didn't expect to die. She didn't expect to be forced into someone else' body. She didn't expect to form connections like the ones she forged. She wanted to go home, but if she couldn't then she would survive until her final breath.

Treachery in Disguise- Bodhi Durran by AmIMentallyIll

Summary
If you asked most people about Ava Melgren you'd get the same answer. She's a spoilt brat that's unfortunately pretty good at what she does.
And that's exactly how she wants to be seen. Exactly how she's carefully crafted herself to be perceived. It's how she has to continue to be perceived if she is to remain alive.
Because she has a secret. A secret that could get her, and everyone she commands, killed. She's leading another rebellion. Or as she likes to call it: a revolution. Xaden Riorson's band of smugglers can pack it up because she's not messing around.
Bodhi Durran x femOC

Summary
If you haven't read Fourth Wing and Iron Flame yet, then I would recommend skipping this fanfic as it contains SPOILERS.
Imogen Cardulo's life doesn't begin with her breaking Violet Sorrengail's arm on Assessment Day and there is much more going on with her than what Violet sees. She is more than a side character this time around.
Once upon a time, because that is how all stories begin, she was just another teenage girl - a little rebellious, a little more reckless than her parents would have preferred, a typically annoying little sister... an awesome friend or a pain in the ass (depending on the day and which one of her friends you asked) and she had a not so little or subtle crush on Garrick Tavis, but who can blame her for that?
Then all the adults in her life went to war and the course of her life changed drastically.
This is her story, in her own words. Starting from the Apostasy and covering all the high and lows, all the joyful moments and the heartbreaks, all the victories and the mistakes and giving us a look into her relationships with Xaden, Bodhi, Quinn and especially Garrick.

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.”

Summary
In her first year at Basgiath War College, Ivy Sorrengail went from a cadet raised to believe in justice, honor, and sacrifice for her country, to a rider prepared to commit treason to do what is right.
Now that she knows the truth her country tried to bury she has to tread a careful line between a pawn to Navarre's crown and a queen to a country that would rather see her executed for her mothers crimes, than lead it.
However, iron is forged from the hottest flames, and she would rather burn than let everyone she loves succumb to the true darkness that lurks in the shadows.

Summary
Liam was only trying to save his brother — the same way Xaden had once given him a chance to live. When Xaden became a Venin and enraged the gods enough to earn a terrible fate, Liam knew he had to try to return the favor.
Now, begging the gods wasn’t exactly the smartest choice, but it was all he could do. What Liam didn’t expect was that the gods would actually answer his plea — and grant a second chance not only to Xaden, but to everyone.
Suddenly, Liam found himself in a room with a group that could change everything, and five books that held the story of the future of their world.
Would Liam’s efforts be enough?
