Reagan was always left out and pushed aside, always forgotten about. Living with a foster family who were as loyal to the Crown of Navarre as the King himself, she felt very unprepared for Conscription Day. She had no training to become a Dragon Rider- even the other Relic kids ignored her.
Now at 20 she's forced into the Riders Quadrant, where her chance of surviving until Threshing is almost zero. Ride or die. Those are her options.
However, the longer she survives, the more she feels that maybe... Just maybe she might have a shot, maybe even bond a dragon, find some friends. The longer she survives, the more she questions her past, one she always thought she knew, but now...? She needs to figure out who she is and how she fits into this rebellion war around her.

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
Hear The Dragon's Song
You've read Liam Mairi's story. You know how it goes. How it ends. But what if there was more to his tale? And what if it included someone already in his story the entire time? She has her own history, her own shameful past, her own secrets. But what if she's destined to change the course of not only his life, but the fate of everyone else on The Continent? And Liam? He cannot tell a soul about her. Not even Xaden Riorson. We follow Liam through his own story whilst keeping a secret that may very well get him killed, alongside every other marked one in Basgaith before Threshing. Trigger warnings: Violence, descriptions of injuries, hints at SA, physical and mental abuse, torture, sexual activities, graphic language and death. If you are sensitive to any of these topics, please consider them before reading on. Author's Note: This story is inspired by the incredible Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros. If you have not read Fourth Wing yet, please go read it first, as a lot of context will not make sense if you're not familiar. I am so incredibly proud of this story, I've had this idea since last year and have spent months planning and now writing this version of Liam's life. I do plan to post chapters weekly, but life sometimes gets in the way! (Also if you see any little mistakes A: No you don't and B: I have raging ADD so sometimes editing gets rather boring.) All rights, characters and original story reserved to Rebecca Yarros & Piatkus Publishing.

Forgotten princess (Bodhi Durran)
Heyy so there WILL be spoilers for Fourth wing, Iron flame and Onyx storm so if you haven't read them, I wouldn't recommend reading this quite yet! but of course, come back when you're finished. This is set a year before violet shows up (yes, I will go that far into the story, and she will still be in the story) During the Aretia Battle right before the execution of Tyrish rebellion, Fen Riorson and a bunch of other members of the rebellion flew to the kingdom of Vaelryn (Who were allies to Navarre) and burnt the city to ash leaving nothing left, except.... Arabella D'Amore is the princess and 7th heir to the Vaelryn throne. King Solias and Queen Casara lived in the public eye and were known for being 'perfect'. They had a perfect government, 'perfect' marriage and 'perfect' kids. But only very few knew what actually happened in that castle for they were anything but perfect, but they sure tried. If a single kid twitched or faltered their smile, they would get a major punishment such as a whip to the back or a beating till you would bleed. Arabella being the youngest or the 'runt' in the family she would get picked on or beaten by her siblings and parents the most. Her oldest brother/heir to the throne was her savior. He would teach her how to fight and ward off her siblings whenever he could. After the kingdom was sent in flames Arabella somehow was left by Fen Riorson and was finally rid of her cruel family... but her brother who she watched get scorched by Fen Riorsons dragon was the only person she loved. He was gone and she had nowhere to go so off into the streets of Navarre she went where she learned to kill and steal and train. She saw conscription day forms and signed up as Marlena Iverson where she meets Bodhi Durran who teaches her to face her past so that she can finally love again.
Stormboud (fourth wing x reader)
"The world she came from never wanted her. The world she fell into might kill her. But in both... she refuses to be forgotten." Wren Callahan never meant to become a myth. She was just trying to survive another rainy night in Boston when a lightning strike tore open the sky-and dragged her into a land ruled by dragons, elemental power, and war-hardened cadets. Thrown into Basgiath War College, Wren is labeled an outsider, a liability, and possibly a spy. She's got no magic, no training, and no idea how to survive in a world where dragons kill those unworthy of bonding. Except one doesn't. Nyxatheon, a shadowflame drake thought to be extinct, chooses her. And suddenly, the rules don't matter anymore. As Wren learns to fight, fly, and master a power she shouldn't have, she uncovers secrets buried in dragonkind's history-secrets that tie her Earth-born blood to a long-lost legacy. Someone wants her gone. Others want her dead. And the more she survives, the more she realizes: she didn't just fall into this world. She was brought here. And war is coming-one that could burn both worlds to ash. FOURTHWING is written by Rebecca Yaros. I recommend you read the actual books, trust me, they're great!
THE HEIR OF STORMS | Garrick Tavis
Illena Draekar had no idea why she applied to be a dragon rider. She had her reasons, of course. But her reasons were a secret, and Illena was so full of them that she didn't know anymore what was a secret and what was just a fact. She had a plan, that was a fact. But the plan itself was a secret. The war was getting worse, that was a fact, and was also a fact that Illena was the one to blame for that. Which war? That was a secret. Why she was the one to blame? Also a secret. Why she had so many secrets and so many facts? Well, that's a secret. But I'll give you a fact: she thinks it's time to fight. And what better place to begin than Basgiath? The marked ones were there. The dragons were there, the professors, the weapons, the lies, the reasons, they were all there. The only thing she did not expect to be there was love. But love was for children, and Garrick surely wasn't one. Illena may have fallen in love with him, anyway. But that was a secret as well. And also a fact. (This is a Fourth Wing fanfiction, the characters and the story belongs to Rebecca Yarros, only the main character, Illena, is original)Complete
