She crossed off every name she was given without a second thought. She had to do what was necessary for her survival no matter what. Will her newest mission end her streak?

Sweet Serenity (Fourth Wing) (Xaden Riorson)
Secrets, betrayal, and forbidden desire intertwine in the world of dragon riders. Serene Panchek has lived her life in the shadows, trained to be silent and invisible, a master at hiding her secrets. But now, as a third-year in the Fourth Wing, she's drawn into the orbit of Xaden Riorson, the infamous rebel leader with secrets of his own. Their connection is electric, undeniable, and dangerous-especially as Serene discovers that the rebellion may be her only way to escape her father's iron grip. But the truth is as deadly as it is liberating, and as the lines between loyalty and love blur, Serene must decide how much she's willing to risk... and who she's willing to betray. When Violet Sorrengail arrives, bringing both chaos and possibility, Serene and Xaden's forbidden connection is tested, revealing a path that could either doom them... or ignite a revolution.

Fireborn | Fourth Wing |
Fireborn (n.) A soul forged in fire, bound by fate, and destined to rise from the ashes. A force of nature, untamed and unstoppable. One who does not kneel, does not break, and does not beg for survival-because they were never meant to perish in the first place.* - Nyxara was never meant to exist. A ghost in the records. A weapon without a master. A secret the world was never supposed to uncover. But fate doesn't care for rules, and destiny has never played fair. Thrown into the Riders Quadrant, she steps into a world where power is earned in blood and survival is a privilege, not a right. Where dragons choose their riders, but even they don't always understand the forces at play. Where history is a lie waiting to be unraveled, and the dead whisper secrets no one wants to hear. One woman. Two deadly secrets. Three men who will either rise with her-or be reduced to ash. The sky is a battlefield. The ground is a graveyard. And Nyxara is about to prove that only fire decides who is worthy of the throne. This story is based off of Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

The Lies We Hold in Our Hearts
Kathleen is so far, and yet so close to her home. Kathleen's secret is out and miraculously, she isn't dead. Xaden Riorson hasn't killed her, but he isn't the biggest threat to her life. Not anymore. Her past chases her every move and shadows follow her every footstep. Her newly-discovered signet might be able to get her the revenge she wants, but it isn't as easy as it sounds. As she uncovers the truth of the past, she lies to herself about the present. She's lost, tangled, and scared. Her dragon isn't exactly a big help. This is the second "book" to The Secrets We Hide from the Dark. This story is written in first person and present tense. A fanfiction based on Rebecca Yarros's novel and series Fourth Wing/Iron Flame from the Empyrean series. Most characters and the world are by Rebecca Yarros, but a couple of characters are created by me. It is recommended that you read Fourth Wing, Iron Flame, and Onyx Storm before reading this, but this may also be read without reading those books. Some theories might be incorrect and not align with the Empyrean Series. Nevertheless, enjoy! Also available on AO3(Archive of Our Own)
Only For A Moment // Fourth Wing x OC
Wren never expected her life to change the moment she set foot in the Riders Quadrant at Basgiath War College. But everything shifted when she met Liam Mairi. Loving him was effortless, bright, and full of promise. Losing him was shattering. His death left Wren broken in ways even her powerful dragon, Ryuu, couldn't mend. Grief made her question everything-her strength, her future, even her place among her friends. Ridoc's reckless jokes, Violet's fierce loyalty, and Rhiannon's steady hand are the only things keeping her tethered to a world that feels dimmer without Liam in it. But when Ryuu, her Red Swordtail Dragon, chooses a mate, Wren finds herself bound to another in a way neither of them expected. Their bond is raw and undeniable, forged in fire and loss. Yet letting herself feel something new feels like a betrayal of Liam's memory. Now Wren must decide if love after loss can be just as fierce, and if her heart has the courage to beat again.
Shadows of the Fallen ~ Empyrean Series
Six years ago, Aelin Riorson was believed to have died at the hands of Colonel Aetos, with her brother Xaden helplessly watching as her throat was slit. But Aelin survived - and went into hiding, assuming the alias Lillian Parker to protect herself, her brother, and the rebellion. She looks little like Xaden, with pale skin, strawberry-blonde curls, and a gentle demeanor. But her mismatched eyes - golden onyx in one, emerald green in the other - and the knife scar across her neck are the undeniable clues to her true identity. Now, as she enters the Riders' Quadrant, Aelin must keep her past buried. She bonds with Zyphira, a dragon tied to her family's lost legacy, and her signet manifests a dangerous power: a fusion of light and shadow, like her brother's own. As Aelin grows closer to Liam, another rebel, the weight of her secrets grows heavier. But when Xaden begins to question the night she died, her carefully constructed life begins to unravel. In a world where secrets can kill, Aelin's survival hinges on keeping her true identity hidden - but the truth may be impossible to deny. ALL RIGHTS BELONG TO REBECCA YARROS EXCLUDING MY OWN O/C.
