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!

Summary
”The Daramors are dragons made flesh, say the legends. We are the chosen hands of Malek and Dunne. That is why we always bond with dragons whose scales are black as death itself. Why we are so skilled in battle, at waging this endless war and reigning death upon our enemies.
The Daramors are death incarnate.
The commanders of the world.
And I’m the only one left.”

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
My death triggered a series of events, the very first one being my resurrection. My bonds mourn me not knowing that I survived.
I decided to post this one because I'm in a Fourth Wing mood again. If you see some mix-ups between first and second person, that's because I'm editing it as I go so there may be some "you's" that I missed.Series

Summary
She felt him dying. The pain, the hopelessness, the agony...it was feeding into her soul. She was watching her mother give her life to the ward stone. She was feeling everything and nothing. She wouldn't give up. She screamed and lashed out. Tairn power ripples with Andarna's, both of them filling me up and expanding, and I don't know why, but instead of pushing it out like I normally do, I pull it into myself. I feel Xaden with me; I feel his soul nestled next to me. I pull more and more til I'm screaming. Then the world goes dark... and starts anew.
*All the spoilers. However, it's a new world. Not everything will be the same.

Summary
Violet Sorrengail is in trouble. After a research paper she wrote for class condemning the current administration's handling of the conflict in Deverelli is leaked to the public, Violet finds herself under the microscope of public scrutiny. For any normal grad student, this wouldn't have been a blip on anyone's radar. Unfortunately for Violet, her mother is a high-ranking advisor in President Tauri's administration and a key architect in the country's military response to the conflict. While Violet thinks the scandal will blow over quickly, her mother's colleagues are increasingly worried about the threats against Violet's life that have been circulating online.
Xaden Riorson is screwed. After starting a private security firm with his best friend and cousin, Xaden was hoping to make a name for himself, far away from his father's presidential campaign. In a cruel twist of fate, their first client turns out to be the daughter of one of Fen's staunch political rivals. At first glance, the job seemed straightforward — protect the girl from an overzealous fanboy, who hated what she wrote. But things are not as simple as they seem, and it appeared that Violet Sorrengail would be bringing nothing but trouble to his door.

Summary
This story picks up a few months after the end of Onyx Storm. Violet and her allies are losing badly to the dark wielders, friends and loved ones already dead, their defenses crumbling. Xaden is gone, consumed by venin power, and despite months of searching, Violet cannot find him or any cure.
Then Andarna returns from her time with the Irids, more mature and aware of her abilities. She re-bonds with Violet. She reveals that Irids have a unique connection to magic, making what they channel flexible, able to be shaped to nearly anything. Together, Andarna, Tairn, and Violet decide their only hope is to bend time itself.
Their plan: send Violet, Xaden, Andarna, Tairn, and Sgaeyl back to the months before the apostasy. Aaric (Cam Tauri) and his dragon Molvic, gifted with foresight, confirm that this path offers a chance at victory with one catch: Duke Fen Riorson must be convinced to organize a rebellion in secret, working from the shadows to avoid Melgren’s battle forsight, rather than declaring open secession and plunging Tyrrendor into war against Navarre. Any course that puts Tyrrendor on a path to direct military conflict with Navarre cannot win.
Or, another Fourth Wing Empyrean time travel au.
