Fanfic
- Xaden POV: Fourth Wing by belle_beebee. Violet/Xaden.
- Xaden Riorson thought he had figured out how to survive in this place. Now in his final year at Basgiath War College, he’s risen to the rank of Wingleader. He is focused on one thing: getting every kid of the rebellion bonded to a dragon. Then the real work can begin.
- But he hadn’t counted on Violet Sorrengail, the General’s daughter, entering the Rider’s Quadrant. She’s not supposed to be here and she’s about to throw every plan he has made into chaos. Can he trust her? And more importantly, can he trust himself?
- storm in the quiet by JustAlliHere. Violet/Xaden.
- 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.
- Self Control by taumoebaa. Violet/Liam
- Or, what would’ve happened if Violet went to Liam instead of Xaden that night Tairn was woohoo-ing Sgaeyl.
