Summary
The underground rings teach you the currency of your skin, but they can’t buy back what’s already been signed away. Athena Riorson survived her father’s execution, abandonment, and the pits by clinging to a broken mantra: Never let anyone own you. But autonomy is a luxury she’s already lost. Bound to a master before setting foot in the quadrant, her entire existence is a desperate act of defiance to reclaim her soul. At Basgiath's cutthroat Riders Quadrant, her strategy is to keep her head down. But Athena has never been good at staying unnoticed, especially not around Aaric Graycastle.
Steady where she is volatile and dangerously secretive, Aaric becomes impossible to avoid. The closer she gets to him, the more her world slips into unexplainable instincts, buried traditions, and a terrifying realization that something in her blood is not normal.
Athena finds herself fighting on three separate fronts: a war for the fate of Navarre, a war for the relationships she’s forced to navigate, and a war for her own mind. Survival isn't just about avoiding becoming a dragon's breakfast—it's surviving the messy, forced bonds that claim you.

My Boys Only Break Their Favorite Toys by Caernunnos for ThatWouldBee_Enough

Summary
Liam is sent to the Riorson Estate as part of a longstanding tradition. Bodhi and Xaden are hot vampires and they take a liking to Liam and make him theirs.
It's a lot of very explicit, very noncon m/m/m. Liam is terrified and disoriented half the time, and these are the DGAF/scary vampires who forget that humans are breakable things.READ THE FUCKING TAGS THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING BYE
The nonconsensual nipple piercings are done offscreen, but you do see the aftereffects. I guess there's some more consensual stuff at the end. And some aftercare. The pee stuff isn't important it's more humiliation and mentioned in one line, so don't let that scare you off. Or do.

The Lost Manuscript of Sara Tavis, Dragon Rider by Skyhopper13

Summary
If Imogen Cardulo was successful with what I asked her to do, then I no longer exist. At least, not to the rest of the world.
I had to run. To hide. It was the only option after what happened at Draithus. I had to do it to protect her. To protect Tyrrendor.
This manuscript will be my only legacy. The only evidence that Sara Tavis ever existed. I write it not for posterity. Not for glory. Not for the damned scribes to keep, or more likely alter. I write it for her. She deserves to know the truth of her parentage and her destiny.

Summary
Basgiath cadet Fenryn Zynd can mend in a way no one else can - by transferring the injuries sustained by riders (and their dragons) onto/into her own body before mending herself.
She's hidden in plain sight until her dragon flies her straight to the Battle of Resson. Unable to allow Liam to die, she intervenes. After saving Liam by mending Deigh, she's thrust into the world of the Revolution while uncovering the secrets of her own past and coming to terms with the power of her signet.
The story follows Fenryn from the Battle of Resson at the end of Fourth Wing, following Iron Flame and soon Onyx Storm (so contains multiple spoilers!).
Has a mild why choose arc with Bodhi and Liam, but main love story is slow burn.
Iron Flame ends at chapter 70. Chapter 71 onwards is Onyx Storm.

Summary
Sloane Mairi has been running all her life. Dain is determined to be the one that brings her back to earth.
Big ol' planned fic about our glorious Slain! Set post OS, kinda slow burn, more plot than you'd expect. Will be updating every two weeks on Saturdays. Inspired mostly by the song Icarus by Bastille (but I will put the whole playlist I used in end notes). ALL PLOT DETAILS WERE FINALISED JUST AFTER OS, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY TRAUMA IF SOME OF THEM COME TRUE.

“Cocky bastard.”
He chuckles. “Still not my name, Mairi. Nor my rank, Cadet.”
I groan and resist the urge to punch him in his stupid, cocky, pretty face.

Fight the truth, or Die for a Lie. (Iron Flame from Xaden's sister's perspective) by Charley2511

Summary
Ravyn and Xaden Riorson have survived three years of Basgiath. Great, right? They thought they might just be free. But then they're sent to Samara, the deadliest outpost on the frontlines, unheard of for a first Lieutenant. But that's the easy part. They're surrounded by riders who refuse to trust them, all because of a relic on their body, and their parents actions. They fight for respect every day, and they fight to not be killed by their own squadmates on patrol. On top of that, both of them are fighting for their relationships. Xaden, fighting for Violet's trust back. Ravyn, fighting to be able to trust her lover of six years. She doesn't know if she can, and that's somehow the least of her issues.
Expected to be Navarrian rider by day, Tyrrish Aristocrat by night, they lead a revolution that could ultimately damn them all if caught. And being the very thing they're fighting against? It's fucking with every move she makes. Secrets are building, trust is deteriorating, and worst of all, Major Varrish is gunning for a second chance at the information he didn't get from her. She's fighting on every front, and for some battles she's got no support. And others? She's got too much help she doesn't know what to do with it.Series

The one with a contract and secret tattoos by 808heartbeat

Summary
Aristocracy, from what she could understand, was based on having good relationships. Good political allies, good friendships. Good marriages. It was the reason her mother had accepted when General Tavis proposed that her daughter married his son.
Or
What if all the longing glances and the flirting was just for fun? What is Imogen and Garrick had been together from the start?

She's the princess that was left for the dragons to kill.
She's the one who should've died at ten.
Instead, she bonded with the rarest of them all - a Black Daggertail - at ten.
She'll come back and enter the door that has been closed for most of her life.
And you'd do better to run in the opposite direction, because under the niceties lies something else - a lethal coldness - something that kills effortlessly.No one knows about the many secrets that she keeps.
And maybe that's good.
It is safer like that.
No one will get killed.
Hopefully, at least.---

Summary
Two years after her father’s death, Violet Sorrengail enters the Riders Quadrant with more knowledge than she should have, far less training than she needs, and a locked journal full of secrets she can barely begin to understand. Fresh off a breakup with the heir to Navarre, she isn’t looking for complications, but nothing prepares her for Xaden Riorson, or the dangerous ease they fall into with each other.
When her power manifests early and pulls her into Xaden’s dreams, Violet sees something she was never meant to: a wardstone, forbidden runes, and proof that her father’s work may be closer, and more dangerous, than she ever imagined.
Or: Violet manifests her dream-walking signet early, walks into one of Xaden’s dreams, and makes everyone’s lives significantly more complicated.

Summary
Part I: The Duke and His Friend Violet
During a tense diplomatic visit to Calldyr, Duke Fen Riorson encounters a curious child—Violet Sorrengail, the youngest daughter of his rival general. Frail in body but fierce in mind, she disarms him with her unfiltered honesty and impossible hope. In her laughter, he finds something he thought he’d lost: light. But fate is not kind to dreamers, and even friendship can be a dangerous thing for a man bound by duty and war.Part II: The Little Duke and Duchess
Fen wakes in Calldyr to the echo of a nightmare—one that felt too real to dismiss. Was it memory, prophecy… or a message from the goddess Amari herself?Determined to change the fate he’s seen, Fen takes a different path—one where his son will not inherit pain, but the chance for something purer. He dares to imagine a world where ten-year-old Xaden Riorson meets eight-year-old Violet Sorrengail not as strangers divided by politics, but as children bound by something timeless.
But destiny is never simple. When the little duke and the little duchess finally meet, what begins as innocence may ignite the kind of spark that reshapes legacies.
