The Bet; A romance writer’s guide to ruining the Best Man by Jade838
Fandoms: The Empyrean - Rebecca Yarros
09 Jul 2026
Tags
Summary
Violet is a romance novelist who believes in happily-ever-afters. Xaden is a brooding cynic who views weddings as an expensive illusion destined to fail.
What starts as a disagreement quickly spirals into a high-stakes wager:
“I'm going to make this wedding so goddamn magical and overflowing with love that you’ll be a hopeless romantic by the time they say ‘I do.’ And who knows? You might fall in love with me.”

Summary
As Persephone lay in the cool grass the shade offered her, a chill crept across her body. She wondered if invoking his name would really bring her estranged husband to her as Demeter feared. She was still, her cheek on the ground, her hand pressed into the dirt. "Hades…" she whispered. "My king…"

Summary
Kagome lowers her gun.
“Motherfucker,” Inuyasha hisses, glaring first at her and then at the dead body by her feet. “That was my goddamn kill. Again.”
That’s rich, coming from him. Kagome stares him dead in the eyes before shooting two more bullets into the chest of the target.
Everyone has a soulmate. Everyone has a soul mark to identify them with. For an assassin like Kagome, this form of leverage will leave nothing but blood.

Summary
Violet Sorrengail is a forensic anthropologist good with only one thing: dead people. Their bones speak a language only she can hear, but the living aren't quite so easy to understand - particularly one FBI Agent Xaden Riorson, who does everything possible to get under her skin. When an unexpected murder victim washes up in DC, the ensuing investigation brings them closer together despite her every effort to stay away, and she's forced to decide if the careful distance she keeps around her heart is really worth it.

Violence in my Mind, Violet in my Bed by VoidMyWarranty
Fandoms: The Empyrean - Rebecca Yarros
24 Jun 2023
Tags
Summary
She’s doing this on purpose, I know she is.
Violet is still upset at me, and in the most Sorrengail display of spite I’ve ever witnessed, she’s currently sitting in my room, brushing her hair. What reason could a rider possibly have to bring a hairbrush to the room of her former lover? Why, to torture him of course, because she knows what seeing her like this does to me, and because she doesn’t have a single legitimate reason to actually hate me.
-—•—-
Violet delivers some erotic revenge to our boy Xaden.
Set directly after the events of Fourth Wing.

Summary
“Tairn worries over his human’s need to mate you. It’s affecting her battle performance.”
Impossible. Violet doesn’t want me anymore, and she’s made that very clear through weeks of resolute indifference. “I told you before, humans don’t need—“
Sgaeyl is having none of it. “You’re ceaselessly distracted by the sight of her, and yet you say you have no need to mate. I, also, worry over your battle performance.”
“My performance is just fine,” I mentally grit back.
Her voice picks up a wry edge. “Perhaps you can begin the mating ritual by telling that to the girl.”
My palm slams down onto the table with a violent rattle of dishes, and instantly every conversation ceases, and every eye turns towards me.
Mother****er.

Sick of all the mutual pining, Sgaeyl and Tairn basically Parent Trap their riders into giving each other another chance.

Summary
After rescuing Xaden from the Sage's clutches, Violet tries to keep his condition a secret. But as Xaden refuses to feed, the hunger begins to consume him. His eyes turn red, and his behaviour becomes increasingly erratic and violent. They can't hide it much longer. There's only one solution.
Blood.
******
"I know you don't want to --"
"You think I don’t want to?” Xaden's tone sends a shiver down my spine. He assumes such a predatory stillness that my heart stutters. “You think I don’t fantasize about sinking my teeth into you every time I make you blush? Dream about the places your blood rushes every time I turn you on? I want to all the damn time, Violence,” he growls. "That's the problem."

Summary
Xaden Riorson had never had interest in any of the women who worked in the bar in Chantara. He’d never needed to search further than the Riders Quadrant when it came to sex. That is, until the stress of his first couple of weeks as Wingleader and the sight of the most perfect woman he’d ever seen tested every bit of self control he’d ever had.
" “So what do you want from me, sir?" She asked his coyly.
Sir. He'd never been so hard.
What did he want? He wanted her. In any way she’d let him. "Written for Kinktober 2025: Day 12 - sex work

Summary
I’m lost in my thoughts as the cord of bells on the door chimes, letting me know my first pupil has arrived.
I rise from where I sit cross-legged on my mat and meet molten onyx eyes. Eyes that are definitely not the reason for my newfound love of Friday classes.
“Xaden.” He towers over me, a tousle of glossy black curls, the line of his jaw is squared, and covered with warm brown skin and dark stubble. He folds his arms across his torso, tugging the collar of his hoodie to show a curl of black ink on his neck, as he quirks a brow at me.
“Violence.” I indulge the urge to roll my eyes, brushing past him to the iPad on the windowsill.
***
Or Xaden finds out Violet's ex rarely made her come, and sets out to make sure she never settles for that again.

Summary
Violet Sorrengail and Xaden Riorson are neighbours. Neighbours, not friends. So the fact that she's faked an orgasm or two is absolutely none of his business...and why didn't anyone tell her the walls were this thin before?!
"If you ever want to come on something that doesn't vibrate, you know where I am."
I bite down hard on my lip to suppress a whimper. By the time my eyes refocus and I lift my head, he's already disappeared, the door to his apartment closing with a click.Series

Summary
Isolated scenes of a really twisted but hot relationship between Xaden and Violet in a modern AU. In this AU they are both professional thieves working for the same person but not 'together'. They have really great but mean (sometimes violent) hate sex. Someone may or may not catch feelings (he Definitely does. She Probably does). There is no plot, there is no explanations, there is no order to the scenes. This is just me playing around with these characters and making them have mellow kinky sex, that's all.

There's Nowhere in Existence I Can't Find You by Gratuitous_Wine

Summary
“Why are you here?” I ask
“To see you of course, Violence. Don’t you miss me? I know I can't stand being apart from you” He responds, earnest and eager despite the cruel sharpness of his tone that I think might be his new normal.
“And what do you plan to do with me now you've got me?” I tug against the shadows holding me to emphasise my point.

a more satisfying revenge by plum_petals for Lalapie
Fandoms: The Empyrean - Rebecca Yarros
02 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
Xaden decided early on that he would wear his ruthlessness unapologetically. It was one of the reasons that Sgaeyl had chosen him, still covered in the blood of a dead prince who threatened one of his own.
The son of the Great Betrayer isn’t looking for forgiveness or honor or even peace at the end of it all. Those kinds of motivations are reserved for much better people than himself. Why pretend to seek absolution at all when revenge is so much more satisfying?
Seducing Violet Sorrengail to the rebellion’s side may not be his most straightforward plan, but he thinks it’s one of his most brilliant.

Summary
Customer service is a thankless job, a fact Kagome knows well. Customers can be downright nasty; that’s just to be expected. What she isn’t expecting is for one of those customers to get physical or for a handsome and gruff stranger to swoop in and save her. How can she thank him?
