Alina Valoria once believed in the goodness of the world-believed in friendship, in faith, and in a future filled with warmth and safety. She believed in him too-the boy she was never meant to love, her brother's best friend, the one her heart chose long before she understood the cost. But war has a way of turning belief into ash. When war and tragedy tore her from her family and the boy she loved, Alina learned how merciless the world could be. How a heart can shatter quietly and still be forced to carry on. How someone raised to shine with hope can be remade by grief and survival. She vowed never to depend on anyone but herself again. Entering the Riders Quadrant to honor her family's legacy, Alina expected hardship, loss, and the brutal truth of war. What she didn't expect was to face everything she once mourned as if it had died-alive again, altered by war, and no longer the people she remembers. Time and battle carve new versions of us, and not all of them survive with their humanity intact. Least of all the boy she once loved. Within a kingdom trembling under ancient prophecies and the truth of fables, Alina finds herself caught between duty, faith, and a fate whispered about since before she was born. Here, loyalty can ruin, love can destroy, and belief is a dangerous thing to hold. As the gods turn their gaze back to the mortal world, Alina must decide which pieces of herself she is willing to sacrifice-and what she will fight to protect, even against destiny itself. This is a story of war, faith, and forbidden love-of a girl hardened by fate and a boy forged by loss, bound to a prophecy that could save their world... or end it.

Three years after the fall of Navarre, the world is rebuilding- but some wounds refuse to heal. In Aretha, a new War College rises, founded by the riders who survived the impossible. Xaden Riorson and Violet Sorrengail stand as pillars of the new order, training a generation drawn from every province by whispers of truth, power and protection. Bellamy arrives quietly. She carries knowledge that exists nowhere in the archives. Stories erased. Secrets buried. And a past that collides violently with one of the College's leaders the moment she steps inside it's gates. Betrays left scares. Hatred tastes bitter. And some fires refuse to die qiuetly. Enemies brush too close. Words cut sharper then blades. And in the space between confrontation and desire, alliances fracture- and something entirely unexpected begins to burn. Because in Aretha, some flames are meant to hunt you. ** I would like to address that this is a FanFic based off of Fourth Wing. I do not own any rights to anything Fourth Wing or by Rebecca Yarros.

(Fourth Wing, Iron Flame, Onyx Storm) Xaden Riorson x OC Redamancy (n.) the act of loving someone who loves you; a love returned in full ~ In which Isla Melgren overcomes her shadows and learns to love a master of them ~ Isla Melgren was a fighter. She had trained all her life for it. She hadn't been allowed to choose anything in her life for herself. Her entire existence had been decided for her by General Melgren the moment her mother's pregnancy was confirmed. She was prepared for the Rider's Quadrant and most of everything in it. But what she wasn't ready for, was the wingleader of the Fourth Wing.

𝗗𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗗𝗘 ❝ If fate comes at you swinging, wouldn't you fight back? ❞ She wakes up in a body that isn't hers, in a world that shouldn't exist. She remembers dying. She remembers living another life entirely-yet the names, the faces, even her own reflection from before are gone. All that's left is a sharp mind, a gut-deep instinct to survive, and a strange, growing sense of déjà vu she can't explain. Not yet. But when the clues begin stacking-dragons, wards, a war college built to kill or break you-Delilah realizes the truth: she's been dropped into the pages of The Empyrean series. And the war-torn path ahead? It belongs to Xaden Riorson. Delilah isn't here to play a role someone else wrote. She's not a chosen one. She's not here to fall in love. And yet... fate seems to have other plans. A story about identity, grit, and choosing your place in a world that was never meant for you.

Aelia Hastings doesn't just walk; she marches with the weight of a legacy that feels like iron plates strapped to her chest. As the daughter of a legendary rider, her arrival at Basgiath War College isn't a debut-it's a reckoning. Here is a breakdown of her journey from "The Duke's Daughter" to a powerhouse in the Riders Quadrant. XadenRiorsonxOC

Being trained your whole life for something that will get you killed before your fiftieth birthday has its benefits - Ruth Melgren Ruth Melgren has been trained her whole life to attend Basgiath War College. But when your father is the General who executed the rebels of the Tyrrish Rebellion, leaving their revenge-thirsty children behind, there's not much you can do when a quarter of the school is after your head. Ruth has to live up to her father's expectations as well as everyone else's, while trying to not be killed in her sleep and stay alive during on-mat challenges, the gauntlet and Threshing.

Selene Valeora was supposed to be starting her dream job-sipping overpriced coffee, scrolling through memes between meetings, and settling into a cushy corporate life. Instead, she wakes up in Basgiath War College, a place where survival depends on sheer ruthlessness, dragons pick their riders (or incinerate them), and the death rate is disturbingly high. Armed with nothing but her fangirl knowledge of the Empyrean series, a deep-rooted fear of hot men with tragic backstories, and a signet she refuses to reveal, Selene quickly realizes she's in dangerous territory. She knows who dies. Who suffers. And worst of all-she knows that if Xaden Riorson figures out she's not from this world, she's done for. Determined to keep her head down, she fails immediately. Simps for every attractive warrior in sight. Accidentally earns a reputation. But with Basgiath's brutal trials forcing her hand, Selene realizes something terrifying: This isn't just a story anymore. And if she wants to survive? She'll have to rewrite her fate.

They say a rider without their dragon is dead. Fate disagrees. Navarre fell at the Battle of Basgaith. Xaden Riorson turned to the enemy and became the Great Betrayer and second in command to the venin overlords. Two years later fate drags back the impossible. Rosemary Tauri is delivered to Basgiath in chains. Alive, hollow and stripped of her memory. She should have died alongside her dragon. Before the fall of Navarre Xaden and Rosemary forged a forbidden bond. Rosemary doesn't remember her life before, her dragon or the boy she fell in love with but fate keeps dragging them back together as the world breaks them apart. The venin want what is buried inside her head and Xaden will do anything to keep her alive. A dark Xaden love story.

Being a Melgren is a curse dressed as a legacy. Seraphina Melgren carries her father's name like armor, forged in blood, discipline, and unyielding expectation. She was trained to strike before weakness appears, to move like shadow, to survive when others fall. But Basgaith War College spares no one. Its halls are alive with danger, betrayal, and the restless defiance of the rebellion kids-cadets who bend every rule and challenge every law. Every glance could hide an enemy. Every step could trigger a trap. Loyalty is fleeting. Power is everything. And failure is not an option. Surrounded by rivals and secrets that refuse to stay buried, Seraphina must fight, deceive, and outsmart anyone who stands in her way. Because at Basgaith, only the strongest survive-and even a Melgren can fall.
