Summary
After the battle at Resson, a wounded Sgaeyl nurses her injuries, waiting alongside everyone else for Violet Sorrengail to wake up. She reflects on the events after the battle.
This is a fluffish, whump-ish one-shot centred around Sgaeyl and Tairn. This does diverge slightly from canon in places with some minor changes, but generally maintains the same events.

Summary
They call humans fragile, but I’ve watched them shatter and still stand. Violet Sorrengail is no exception—though she’s the only one foolish enough to argue with me mid-flight, mid-battle, or mid-breath. And yet…I chose her. Not because she was strong. Not because she was brave. But because somewhere beneath the stubbornness and fear, she listens.
That, and she didn’t run screaming when I landed in front of her with death in my wings. A promising start.

Summary
Violet loved a lot of things. She loved a lot of people.
Her sister; Mira. Her father, her mother....she wouldn't get into that, that would take too long.
She had made friends, her dear Squadmates; Rhiannon, Sawyer and Ridoc. Dain, her childhood friend.
And of course, Xaden. Her sweet, loving, badass boyfriend.
But she knew something, deep in her heart. Something she had tried to deny, something she had hidden deep within her heart. She was never their first choice. They would never choose her, not truly. She wouldn't be the first choice.
Mira would choose the lives of the people, her mother would choose her priorities as a General, Rhiannon would choose their Squadmates, so would Sawyer and Ridoc. Dain would choose his Father. And Xaden? If came down to everything and anything, he would choose the Marked Ones; Bodhi, Garrick, Imogen, Liam and everyone else.
No one would choose her.
Except maybe, Andarna.
And perhaps Tairn....

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
"Its nothing important, nothing that should interest you at least." She dismissed passively.
I still press gently, "Its enough to keep you grounded, Silver One. If you are worried that the Golden One would overhear, she is asleep under a tree and I can shield her out."
"No need, besides, you shouldn't have to worry about your rider's problems. I know you don't like it when I nag." a quick deflection from her, and one I scoff at down our bond.
"Then let it not be a problem between a Dragon and Rider but between an Elder and Hatchling."

Summary
Violet Sorrengail is just trying to keep her life from falling apart.
Between losing her apartment, juggling classes, and wrangling two dogs—one of them who happens to be a chaos puppy—she’s one step away from a breakdown. The last thing she expects is to end up living with Xaden Riorson—grumpy, gorgeous, and absolutely not thrilled about their new living arrangement.Roommates. Enemies. Maybe something else.
Eventually. Probably. Maybe.***
After reading OS this was my excuse to keep them close and cope.
Kinda enemies to friends to lovers while having to live together with three dogs and survive college.
This fic contains basic spoilers for Fourth Wing.
I’ve also finished writing it so ya’ll don’t have to worry about it not being done.
I’ll try to post daily :) -
Don't You Dream Impossible Things? by grifterandthief

Summary
Recently, something just seemed softer about her to her friends. Maybe it was her free hair, maybe it was her seemingly constant smile, or maybe it was that for the first time in her short life she lived in a time of relative tranquility.
As tranquil as it could be as the twenty four year old Queen of a newly independent country, but she’ll take it as peace nonetheless.
TLDR: Here amongst the hatching grounds, Violet and Xaden muse in the dream that is their lives
Pre "At Every Table" but obviously stands alone :)

Summary
It took only a few minutes for Violet to figure out what purpose she served.
No one said it out loud—not yet, but they’d get there—but they kept throwing out words like formalizing alliances and uniting two groups, and she understood.
Violet was a sacrificial lamb, and Xaden Riorson was the wolf, and her slaughter would be their marriage.
