Summary
Daria barely survived the Battle of Resson, but at a steep price. Not only did she lose Soleil, her foster sister and only surviving family, she lost Liam, her childhood best friend and the person she loved most. Now, all that's left is pain and a festering, ever-growing thirst for revenge. Lost to the forces of her own rage and grief, Daria begins to descend into the darkest depths of her psyche, and in the background, her second year at Basgiath begins. Between RSC, a growing rift between her and Bodhi, the only person left from her close-knit circle of friends, and the resurgence of the Tyrrish Rebellion, Daria is at her limit. Soon, she will be faced with yet another impossible choice, and she will need to decide if her thirst for vengeance outweighs her commitment to the Revolution. And perhaps most importantly, Daria will need to rediscover what matters most to her, and who she wants to be outside of a soldier, a renegade, and wayward soul.

Summary
"If you want to get laid, and you should - often, considering you never know what the day brings"
-Mira Sorrengail to Violet Sorrengail on Conscription Day 633Mira met her sister's best friend and squad member, Rhiannon, for the first time at Montserrat and was impressed by the spunky younger rider.
Rhiannon was struck by Violet's badass older sister, Mira - the hero of Strythmore. She wasn't one to fangirl over another rider, but she had been excited to listen and learn from the more experienced rider. What she didn't expect was the immediate attraction she felt towards her best friend's older sister.
They probably shouldn't get involved but when you are a dragon rider, in the middle of a revolution, and each breath could be your last...

Summary
“Done hiding now, Dawnstar?” Xaden’s voice cuts through the noise, sharp and smug.
“You knew?” Liam’s voice cracks.
I turn and look at them. Xaden stands with his arms crossed, an infuriating smile playing on his lips. And Liam— gods, Liam— he looks devastated, betrayed, eyes wide and glistening, mouth slightly parted.

Sol Dawnstar knew he couldn’t avoid Liam Mairi forever — but he could certainly try.
When dragons, war, and the ghosts of their past tie them together at every turn, Sol’s dragged into rebellion, secrets, and a love that keeps pulling him back in. But really, it’s not his fault — this is Violet and Xaden’s world, and Sol’s just living in it.Series

Summary
Liam Mairi has always been able to do hard things—survive loss, bury his feelings, walk away from the man he loves to keep him safe. But when he discovers Sol has been in the Riders Quadrant all along—and never came looking—years of sacrifice, restraint, and silence shatter. Now Liam has to face the truth he’s been avoiding, and decide… what is he to do?
****
This is a companion fic to First Wing, retelling key events from Liam Mairi’s point of view. Reading First Wing first is highly recommended to understand the full context — but if you don’t mind spoilers and want to see if you should commit to reading First Wing, you’re welcome to start here.Series

Summary
"Sorry. Not Mira.
...the fuck?
I’d offer to pick you up, but we’re strangers. I can Venmo you for an Uber if that helps.
......I texted the wrong number.
Spot on."
(It's your classic modern wrong number AU, friends.)
(Texts from Violet are italicized, and texts from Xaden are in bold font. Title is from THE Xaden x Violet song, in my humble opinion, "Figure You Out" by Voila.) (Note 7/3/25: BingAI images are being replaced by original art! Cannot wait to share @TheComfyWitch💙)

A fluff and smutty short story set just before the end of Oxyn Storm. If all the characters we love the most were allowed to just blow off steam if only if for a night.

Summary
She wasn’t chosen. She wasn’t marked. She wasn’t registered. She was never supposed to be there. But she’ll be damned if that stops her.
Corin never expected to join Basgiath War College — let alone survive it. Strong, sharp-witted, and burning with a need to prove herself, she’s determined to carve her place among the elite, but even without a rebellion relic scorched on her skin, she knows she’s arriving with more enemies than allies.
But when fate tangles her path with Garrick’s — a loyal warrior with secrets of his own — the fire between them ignites something neither can control and not even the strongest winds can extinguish.
As war brews and dragons rise, Corin Farris, the daughter of a weary scribe and an executed rider, she must fight for her future, her heart, and her right to stand beside those destined for battle. In a world built on power and magic, she’s about to show them all what a survivor is willing to do not just to live, but to win.

Summary
Amy Blackthorne was the sister of the great rider Naolin, who gave his life to save Brennan Sorrengail, the love of his life. Naolin had been her world—someone she looked up to. Her foster brother had taken her in when she was just six years old, and he was the only family she had known. Without him, Amy found the world to be cruel and unforgiving, especially with her parents' identity known only to her and the command in Basgiath. Basgiath—where her best friend is going, and apparently she is going too.
Like her brother protected Brennan, Amy has sworn to protect Violet Sorrengail. The reasons for this are unknown to the world, except to Lilith Sorrengail.
[I do not own any characters or the plot of the Empyrean series; those rights belong to Rebecca Yarros. I do, however, own Amy Blackthorne and her dragon. This will be a slow burn, through-and-through Amy x Xaden and Liam x Violet fic, with a splash of some of my mischief.]

Summary
Liam was not expecting to love his new job at Aretia Desserts Bakery as much as he did. But he was pretty sure that had more to do with the beautiful ray of chaotic sunshine he caught dancing behind the counter when he first walked in than the actual work portion. He and Bodhi weren't looking to fall for anyone else, especially not Xaden's girlfriend's best friend, but apparently, their hearts didn't get the memo. The more they get to know Ridoc, the more they want to prove to him that he deserves people who love him. And gods help them; they will find a way to get that through his head.
Ridoc doesn't do relationships. Not since high school. Not since his biggest mistake cost his best friend his leg. Hook ups are safe. Casual flings are safe. Violet's scary boyfriend's cousin and best friend are not safe. No matter how much he might want them to be. Besides, Ridoc is too much for them anyway. He knows he is. He's a well-intentioned disaster wrapped in a blanket of mommy and daddy issues containing way too much trauma and baggage. There is no way two people that are borderline perfect are going to want him anyway.
Right?

Summary
Ridoc loves Exy. If he wasn't a cheerleader he would have joined the Exy Team in his old school and would've been one of the Basgiath Dragons now. He's sure of it. But alas he is a cheerleader and he fucking loves it, wouldn’t give it up for anything. But the Exy Team… The Exy Team is infamous for their aggressive and gorgeous nature. Every single one of them wouldn't be amiss on a magazine cover. Even that asshole Aetos.
But if you asked Ridoc the prettiest person on that team was backliner, Bodhi Durran.

The Exy AU no-one asked for oops.

Summary
This is a continuation of a previous story, Second Signet, turning it into a series. The original story was actually just the second one I ever posted and was the whole reason I started writing here in the first place because it was based on my "second signet theory." I figured I'd better finish the series now before Onyx Storm comes out and it turns out I was completely wrong!!
The idea in this series is to dramatize the moments when I think I see that signet at work as well as how the various figures in the story, in this case Tairn and Sgaeyl and Xaden, find out about it.
