Summary
Xaden’s grandfather, Leander Riorson, thought he’d seen it all after a year at Basgiath War College—until Lana Ashfold joins his squad. Both nominated for squad leader before Conscription Day, they quickly form a fierce rivalry when Leander secures the coveted role.
Lana is haunted by her older brother, Conan’s, mysterious death during the previous War Games, and she’s convinced deeper secrets lurk behind his casualty. Determined to uncover the truth, she pushes Leander and herself into dangerous territory, soon transforming their competition into reluctant teamwork and companionship. Through relentless trials of their second year, a deeper connection begins to form—one shadowed by the impossible boundaries of their world. For Leander is heir to Tyrrendor, bound by oath and tradition to marry only royalty.
Together, they confront hidden truths and perilous challenges, forging bonds with friends as they unravel the mystery behind Conan’s fate. But as war looms and feelings deepen, Lana and Leander must decide if the status quo is worth more than love—or if risking everything for each other and their loved ones is the only way forward in a world ruled by legacy and deception.

In Stars And Dragons by YesIHaveThoughts

Summary
Oneshots based on an AU idea that keeps bouncing around my head every time i read something for this series. Mainly based around the characters of ISAT, sorry Fourth Wing fans. Features worldbuilding fixes, confusing storylines, non-sensical plot changes and confusing timelines. I'm not putting too much thought into this, it's just for funsies.
Only tagged as "Teen And Up" to keep younger kids from stumbling across this and deciding to read Fourth Wing themselves. If I decide to write anything suggestive, I'll bump up the rating accordingly. As of right now this collection is as SFW as can be. -

Summary
No one expected Junhui to survive the first year at Basgiath. He was too small, too frail, too hated. Yet he did. And survival, for him, was only the beginning. For when whispers of Venins and wyverns reached him, when truth was laid bare in blood and flame, he chose the same path his parents had walked before him.
Some say he brought forth another rebellion.
Some say he forged a crown from its embers.
Others whisper that what rose with him was not an ending, but the beginning of something far greater—
a reckoning bound in oath, lightning, and dragon fire.Alternatively:
The Wonhui retelling of 'Fourth Wing' with a lot of twists.

Summary
“What do you think it will be like?” My head is hanging off the side of Imogen’s cot in the small space between our beds, enjoying the blood rushing to my head as I watch her sharpening her sword. [...] “Being bonded to a dragon, I mean,” I clarify.
So I expect this question to be avoided in a similar manner and I am trying to come up with a change of subject, when Gen surprises me by muttering, “My sister used to say it's the death of any sense of privacy.”
I almost lose my balance and fall on my head when I hear it. It's the first time Imogen ever spoke about her family and I never knew she had a sister, let alone a rider sister! I have so many questions and things I want to say, but just as one would do with a scared wild animal, I keep my mouth shut, trying not to spook her back into hiding behind her high walls.
OR, the night before Threshing, Quinn learns about Imogen's past for the first time.

Summary
In a world where power is earned through blood and fire, Kaelith Veyne was never meant to survive. She had spent the last few years of her life hated for the sins of her parents. The relic etched into her skin is a constant reminder of how people viewed her, a traitor. Now she was off to what was meant to be a death sentence for most, Basgaith War College.
But the deadliest danger of all is the one who she never saw coming: Xaden Riorson. He is the Rebellion's heir, a warrior forged in war, a man with shadows at his command. And from the moment they cross blades, they are drawn together. The deeper she falls, the more she realizes: some battles aren't fought with daggers and dragons. Some are waged within the heart. In a war where making the wrong decision means death, love may be the most dangerous weapon of all.

OR
A fic detailing how Happy bonded with Tairn. Basically a prequel to the Multiverse Expansion, but you don’t need to read that in order to understand this one.

Summary
{A dragon without its rider is a tragedy, a rider without their dragon is dead.}
Learning to work with one another has been hard. Being moved from fourth wing to second wing had several challenges. Meeting new people, finding out secrets, and having my knowledge of the world flipped on its axis, ruins me. This was my second year and did it have its moments.
------------------------------------
After obsessing over the Empryean series, I got the bright idea to self insert people in my life and myself into the world of Fourth Wing. Obviously things are different than the main plot, as Violet is no longer the main character and Ava is.Death, betrayal, gore, relationships, and so, so much more are within this work, so I hope you enjoy!
[Hiatus until further notice 😭 sorry guys]

Summary
"No one stays friends forever, Mira. Eventually those closest to us become our enemies in some way, even if it's through well-intentioned love or apathy, or if we live long enough to become their villains."
My Brennan/Naolin Storyline from before the Fourth Wing to Onyx Storm. Prequel & Oneshots (My headcanons + some chapters are related and some are not)
. I'VE NO pretensions about writing well, it's the first time I'm writing fiction somewhere. and English IS NOT my mother tongue, I used my foreign friend and AI for translation. I hope you don't feel disconnected! -

Summary
A Rider and a Scribe. Thirty years of storm and paper, war and silence, poetry and devotion.
Told in quiet vignettes, this is the story of two people who chose each other over and over — through loss, distance, danger, and love that never needed a name to be known.
