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

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
Violet Sorrengail is on a holiday mission: Save her best friend's struggling café by persuading one reluctant business owner to participate in the annual Christmas decorations contest.
The only problem? The impossibly intense (and gorgeous) co-owner of The Iron Flame, who views Christmas as nothing but an annoyance and a distraction from training.
He is the ultimate Grinch. Violet is pure, Christmas cheer. What could go wrong?

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
Ridoc is perfectly happy being single. Thriving, even.
He enjoys his freedom. His chaos. His ability to flirt irresponsibly and leave without consequences.
So when Violet drags him into a newly opened bookshop and he immediately falls for the man behind the counter with slutty little glasses, it’s deeply inconvenient.
Especially when the feeling turns out to be mutual.

Summary
Imogen didn’t weep when her mother and sister burned for their part in the rebellion. She couldn’t afford to. The kingdom of Navarre had already decided her fate. Survival was a distant hope, a cruel joke in a world that wanted them dead.
Then Xaden Riorson made a deal.
In exchange for their lives, he would take their punishment and they, in turn, would be given one impossible chance: to enter the Riders Quadrant at Basgiath War College. A battlefield disguised as a school, where their only path to survival is bonding with a dragon and fighting for a kingdom that despises them.
Imogen and Garrick—both orphaned and stripped of everything they know—are placed together in the new foster system, forming an unbreakable bond as they navigate a world that sees them as traitors’ children. Forced to rely on each other for survival, their relationship deepens from an alliance of necessity into something far more complex.

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?
