The beat of wings in the crisp morning air hits the ears of a being with large, beautiful, outstretched wings. To us, and angel; she rises from her bed. Stretching out her messy wings and her thin arms, she leaps from her slumber and rushes out the door. The light hits her eyes, and as they come to focus, the world opens up to her. The cloudy terrain surrounding her looked endless, swaths of white that hung overhead or loomed below. It was as if the world sparkled, and everything glowed.
Uroda and Stracony have always been friends, and have always lived in the Sokol sector. Those have been constants for their entire lives. Uroda wished it wasn't. At least, the living with the Sokol and being banned from the ground- it was so much more colorful than clouds after clouds!- had always bothered her. She itched to explore the world; see the other sectors she only read about; find people that wouldn't point out her ugly wings so often; find her purpose in life! If, of course, her parents would stop nagging her. Also... if Stracony ever agreed to leave with her. He was always timid, and wasn't fond of her 'dangerous' and 'ridiculous' plans. He'd show him, she'd escape to the world and bring back something incredible so that he'd HAVE to come! The problem was getting there...
Stracony, however, was fine staying where she was; close to the stars and oblivious to the world below. He liked it that way, and did NOT want to be dragged into another one of Uroda's schemes. Last time he did, he wasn't allowed to leave the castle for at least a week. If he had to scrub another dish, he'd be seriously upset.
Little do they know, they were about to be thrown into an adventure which would change their friendship and world forever. It was only a matter of time before the beasts of below breached through.

The Sineater
Publishing every Sunday at 00:00 CET. ✦✦✦✦ It's not been the best year for the Silver Order, whose job is cleaning sins all over the world (using guns, swords and scrubbers), as they are short of money and staff. Moreover, bringing Milio to Rome seems to be the one and only way to keep their jobs. Milio, on the other hand, is freshly out of the seminary, ready to have a peaceful life in the British countryside. And a little cute garden if possible. He doesn't know that in his adventure he won't have neither peace nor a garden, and he won't last long as a priest. However, he will get fears he didn't know he had, tales that no one would believe, nightmares to enjoy the nights and the friendship of a couple of twins, mix of demon, angel and human, who share one brain cell on the best day. Together, they'll be on a journey full of monsters, human-eating atrocities, bureaucracy, singing demons, nightmare spiders, battle butlers and what scares adults the most: their own feelings. This is a story about friendship, fights, monsters and humour. But also, about love, battle aftermath, grief, growing up and carrying your feelings as they were sins. Enjoy! ✦✦✦✦ Translated to English by me from the original: «El devorador de pecados». Cover art made by me. ✦✦✦✦ Thanks so much for reading this story.
The Merciless Crimson
When Skyla Whitlock, a renowned criminal, turns the age of 20, she is forced to join the Riders Quadrant. Just as did all the other children of the separatists did, as per the contract made by Xaden Riorson and General Lilith Sorrengail. She would make it her life's goal to see General Sorrengail, along with General Melgren, dead. However, that particular moment would have to wait. In the mean time, she needed to find Xaden. He would be a second year by the time she crossed the Parapet, and she would make it her mission to find Xaden and become his ally at Basgiath War College. She would give her life for his, as for he had done far more for her than she deserved. She would become as loyal to him as a dog to its owner. This book is a fan fiction of Rebecca Yarros' Empyrean series. It takes place one year before fourth wing, I plan to make books that follow the series. So there should be five more after this one, six in total. All characters and storyline belong to RY, besides Skyla Whitlock and some added characters that I made up due to when and where this book takes place. Please enjoy and feel free to criticize and critique my writing. The pictures on the cover are all from Pinterest, none are mine.
My Angel (COMPLETE)
No one reads things like this. Irina only wanted to find love and live happy, with another human. Not whatever was knocking on her window that Christmas night. Has anyone ever seen what it was? Who it was? Is it some creature, distant crazy thing that can't understand people? A species unknown to people? Or... Do they live among us? Live in our shadows, know every secret we have. Do they make the noises in the alley we hear at night? ꨄ❦ꨄ❦ꨄ➪ ✨there are some dirty jokes and some spicy moments and goofy and rare insults. There might even be some dark humor, please read with caution. There is also a lot of death. And ✨✨✨sexual moves✨✨✨ A majority of the characters are based off of real people so please don't hate unless they genuinely do or say something bad. I hope this is the story that gets successful. And I'm only 16 (now 17) and been writing for only a few years so please give constructive criticism and not hate. I just want to write the best I can. I'm good at poems if y'all wanna give me some ideas. I'm genuinely proud of this story. Please give me a chance. It took a year to write and is my hope and joy.😁 used to be named 'Two Broken Peas in a Pod'Complete
Shattered Wings, Burning Hearts | Xaden Riorson
Isla Sorrengail has spent her life surviving in the shadows, sharpening her instincts like a blade. But Basgiath War College is not the kind of battlefield she was trained for. Here, brute strength means little without a dragon willing to bond, and power is earned through blood and strategy. No one knew she existed before she arrived-not the cadets glaring at her back, not the instructors watching her every move, not even the sister who should have known. But Isla is not here to make friends. She is here to claim what was stolen from her-her name, her family, her place in the world. But Basgiath is built to break the weak. And Isla? She has no intention of breaking. Even when rivals seek revenge. Even when her own past hunts her down. Even when the wingleader with shadows in his eyes-Xaden Riorson-watches her like he's trying to unravel her secrets. She will not falter. She will not kneel. She will not lose. Because Isla Sorrengail has already lost everything once. And she refuses to do it again.
Electric Love | Xaden Riorson ✓
#1 in Xaden Riorson Mia Roy was a middle school- and sometimes high school- history teacher. But she's also a normal human being, with normal human hobbies. Like reading. Specifically, romantasy books with morally grey male leads. So naturally, she's read Fourth Wing. But what happens when she falls- literally- into it? Suddenly, she's no longer dealing with bratty twelve-year-olds but with dragons, battle-training, and one very infuriating, dangerously attractive wingleader who has a knack for making her heart race. Basgiath may have dragons, but Mia's dealt with screaming eight-year-olds. Basgiath may have war, but Mia's dealt with staff room seating charts that insisted on putting her next to the creepy math professor. Basgiath may have the parapet and the threshing and a thousand other life-threatening situations, but Mia had dealt with The Lunchroom Debacle of 2023. #1 in Xaden #1 in Fourth Wing #1 in Meta #1 in Violet #1 in Xaden Riorson #1 in Empyrean #1 in Rebecca Yarros #1 in Violet Sorrengail Winner of the Cherry Blossom Fanfiction Awards DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN FOURTH WING.

The Thorned Rose
A dragon without its rider is a tragedy. A rider without their dragon is dead. And Rose Sorrengail has spent her entire life making sure she will be neither. Born strong where her twin sister Violet was fragile, Rose is a force forged in fire-bold, brutal, and unrelenting. While Violet stumbles unwillingly into the Riders Quadrant, Rose charges forward, determined to carve out her own legend within Basgiath War College. But surviving Conscription Day is just the beginning. In a world where strength is currency and dragons don't bond with the weak, Rose quickly becomes known-for her precision, her ruthlessness... and the trail of blood left in her wake. Her enemies fear her. Her instructors warn about her. And Xaden Riorson-lethal wingleader with shadows in his eyes-can't seem to stay away. With war looming, and a rare power awakening within her, Rose must decide what kind of rider she'll become-and what she's willing to sacrifice to protect what's hers. In Basgiath, only the ruthless survive. And Rose Sorrengail was born to conquer.
Olive Branch
"This is an Angel girl named Maisie Lark. She hasn't ever stepped foot into the 'real world'. Attempting to break the lock is useless and I have the key. I've extended the olive branch. Maisie's your motive. Come find me when you're ready." Cecilia Star has been alive long enough to know what it's like to be a demon in the human realm, but she's also been alive long enough to cope with her everyday life. But when she wakes up handcuffed to a strange Angel she's never met before, she's thrown for a loop. Cecilia assumes it's all just one big, extremely cruel prank by the twins in order to rile her up and test her limits. After all, Maisie is everything that Cecilia would rather leave behind her, determined, opinionated, and so very clearly wrong. But it doesn't take Cecilia and Maisie long to realize that the handcuff prank is a little more than just a lighthearted joke. The thing about Demon metal is that it is a fickle thing. It can only be unlocked by the person who has the key and no matter what method is used, it cannot be broken. Cecilia would rather just forget the whole thing, refuse to give Ezekiel the satisfaction he so wants, and remain handcuffed to Maisie for the rest of her life. It doesn't take long to realize that it's just not possible. Maisie is everything that she shouldn't be in the human realm. Bigoted, rude, and annoyingly difficult. She can't even get close to Cecilia without making some sort of remark on how she can't stand Demons. As the time ticks down and options become less and less, maybe being handcuffed to each other will teach Cecilia and Maisie a thing or two about themselves. Maybe running from the past isn't the right choice and perhaps, maybe even a Demon and Angel could fall in love too. (Entered in the Open Novella Contest 2022 under prompt 79.

Beneath the Ash
Rheanyra Silvarra has always known what it means to survive. Born to a disgraced noble house and branded a rebellion relic before she could walk, she's spent her life training in the shadows, carrying the ghosts of Aretia and the weight of a past no one dares speak of. At Basgiath War College, she's not just another first-year crossing the Parapet-she's a threat. And everyone knows it. Especially Xaden Riorson. They've known each other too long, fought side by side in silence, and now face each other across squad lines with carefully constructed masks. Their hatred is a language only they speak-a shield against the danger of letting anyone too close. Because walls are safer than attachments. Safer than hope. Thrown into Fourth Wing under Xaden's command, Nyra finds herself surrounded by enemies, allies she doesn't trust, and a squad that's as fractured as her heart. With every glance, Xaden dares her to fall back. With every order, he reminds her who holds power. But she didn't survive the slaughter of Aretia to be silenced. As dragons descend and the deadly crucible of Basgiath begins, Nyra must face not only the dangers of Threshing and the brutal hierarchy of the Riders Quadrant, but the truth she's buried for years. Because war is coming. Secrets are stirring. And for rebellion kids like Nyra and Xaden? Survival was only the beginning. XadenXoc
Echos of Blood: Shadows and Scars
Auren Riorson has always walked a fine line-between shadow and steel, between survival and something more. Trained as a Rider, secretly drawn to healing, and bonded with a dangerous bloodwielding power, she can control blood itself-either to save or to destroy. Stepping into Basgiath War College, Auren finds herself back in the chaos: brutal training, cutthroat politics, and dragons circling overhead, their roars shaking the stone halls. With her loyal best friend Liam by her side and her older brother Xaden looming over every move, she has to keep her wits sharp. Because in this world, one wrong step could mean death-or worse. But graduating the war college isn't the only danger. Venin hunters, wyverns with razor-sharp teeth, and enemies hiding in plain sight are closing in. And as the stakes rise, Auren will have to face her family's deadly past, master the terrifying power she was bound with, and figure out if loyalty and love are worth the risk when everything could be ripped away in a heartbeat. ------------ if you haven't already read the Fourth Wing series... like, what are you even doing with your life?? 😂 go give rebecca yarros all the love because it's honestly one of the best series i've ever read. this fic is obviously inspired by her world, but for me it's turned into a story about love, friendship, found family, and especially the bond between siblings. a lot of it follows the storyline from fourth wing / iron flame / onyx storm, but i've changed up some of the characters, a few signets, and since onyx storm just came out-anything beyond that is just my own theories and imagination making it my own thing. and hey, if it's not your vibe... totally fine. don't read it, I'm sure there are sooo many other good ones out there! 🖤 and nooo i'm not telling you who Auren's romance arc is-you'll just have to keep guessing 👀Complete
Iron Flame (Summer's Version)
In her first year at Basgiath War College, Ivy Sorrengail went from a cadet raised to believe in justice, honor, and sacrifice for her country, to a rider prepared to commit treason to do what is right. Now that she knows the truth her country tried to bury she has to tread a careful line between a pawn to Navarre's crown and a queen to a country that would rather see her executed for her mothers crimes, than lead it. However, iron is forged from the hottest flames, and she would rather burn than let everyone she loves succumb to the true darkness that lurks in the shadows. *** This is my twist on Iron Flame by Rebecca Yaros. I do not own the story.
