Summary
After surviving her first brutal year at Basgiath War College, Violet assumed the worst of her troubles were venin, lying to her friends, and Xaden fucking Riorson. But Basgiath isn’t done breaking her yet. Her trust is fractured. Her enemies are in power. Her superiors want her dead.
Then comes parapet—again.
As the new first-years begin to fall, two of them refuse to play by the rules. Kyle and Aline Acier aren’t just surviving—they’re dismantling the system from the inside. With scars that hide darker pasts and power that shouldn’t exist, the Acier siblings crash into Violet’s already messy world and sink their teeth into Basgiath's hierarchy. Both are dangerous. Both are keeping secrets. And both are about to turn Basgiath inside out.
Now Violet isn’t just fighting for her life.
She’s fighting to decide who she can trust, who she can save…
…and who might break her in ways no enemy ever could.
“You’re going to get yourself killed,” I murmur.
“Then you can mourn me,” he mutters. “But I need you to live today to do that.”

Summary
This is a Fourth Wing fanfiction featuring Xaden Riorson and an OC. It contains spoilers for all three books (Fourth Wing, Iron Flame, and Onyx Storm), though it focuses mostly on the first two since I haven’t started the third one yet.
Ardelle has everything anyone could ever want and yet, she feels hollow inside. Something deep within her is eating her alive, refusing to let go no matter how many years pass. She knows what must be done, and so she makes choices that could cost her everything-even the lives of those she loves.
She’s not someone who’s easily broken, and she’ll never allow anyone else to decide her fate. Ardelle has become everything she once swore she’d never be. But people change. And if that means losing her humanity in the process… then so be it. -

OR
What if Halden and Violet never broke up and are still dating during her first year? And what if she finds out he’s cheating when Xaden is there to help her get over it?

Summary
Rowan Sorrengail was born for the Riders Quadrant.
For two years, he has carried the weight of his family’s expectations—the son of General Sorrengail, the brother of riders, the shadow of a sibling lost to war. His younger sister Violet is destined for the Scribe Quadrant when her time comes, leaving Rowan to walk the path carved for him alone.At Basgiath War College, weakness is a death sentence. The parapet culls the unprepared, the gauntlet breaks the reckless, and the dragons burn those they deem unworthy. To survive, Rowan must endure every trial, every rival, and every betrayal waiting inside the Riders Quadrant.
But survival demands more than strength. It demands allies. And when Rowan’s path collides with Xaden Riorson—the son of the rebellion’s executed leader and a first-year burdened with his own legacy—enmity turns into something far more dangerous: a fragile, necessary alliance.
As dragons choose their riders and the threat of war presses closer to Basgiath’s walls, Rowan will discover that loyalty cuts deeper than any blade—and that the spark of rebellion has already begun to burn.
Because in the Riders Quadrant, there is only one true law: ride… or die.

Summary
Alyxandra Tavis is one of the marked children, branded by the Apostasy, and bound by a bargain she never agreed to.
Unlike the others, she doesn’t view Xaden Riorson’s deal with General Sorrengail as salvation—it’s still a death sentence. A delay of the inevitable.
To Lyxa, survival came at too high a cost. If she and the other marked children had died with their parents, the resistance might have lived on. They might have been remembered as martyrs for change, instead of traitors to the regime.
Deep down, she knows her fury is misdirected. But rage needs a target, and Xaden plays the perfect one.
As Lyxa is now entering her first year at Basgiath, she and Xaden must find a way to survive each other. Because if the Navarrians and dragons don’t get to them first...they just might kill each other. -

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
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.

I thought I had been careful.
I followed every rule; I knew every word of the codex and I had read thousands of pages of judgements to make sure I didn’t accidentally violate it.
I thought I had been careful.
But none of it mattered.

Navarre’s most valuable weapons by Obssesivecompulsive

Summary
Xaden is three years older than Violet in this AU, so they did not cross paths at Basgiath.
But that doesn’t mean that he didn’t keep an eye on the rider that his life hinges upon.Making everyone believe he is a loyal officer in Navarre’s rank proves to be easier than understanding the woman he thought was just a miniature version of her mother that he loathes so much.
Violet has done what she must during her years in Basgiath to survive, and from the outside looking in she is the most loyal weapon Navarre could have ever hoped for.
Apart they are deadly, but together they are a force to be reckoned with.
