My Currently-Published AO3 Fourth Wing Fanfiction

Ongoing Works

The Golden Dragons - My first ever fanfic!! A modern AU in a college/university setting. It follows canon, but in an alternate universe where the main characters are D1 college athletes.

One Manhattan - Modern AU set in NYC. One Manhattan, up and in a coupe, changed the course of Violet Sorrengail's night, and maybe her life ... AKA the one night stand trope with a twist you never saw coming. For real. (Has a companion piece, Two Manhattans)

Captive's Call: The Curse of the Onyx Storm - Seeking to escape her arranged marriage, Violet Sorrengail finds herself in the grasp of disgraced duke-turned-Pirate, Captain Xaden Riorson. And the Captain is always in control, always has a plan, and will do whatever it takes to break the curse that plagues him and his crew ... that is, until he meets a certain Admiral's daughter.

Mile High Club - Written as a one-shot. Have plans to expand it into a multi-chapter fic. Modern AU where Xaden and Violet meet on a plane.

XOXO, Aaric Graycastle - A Basgiath Gossip Column written under the pseudonym Aaric Graycastle.

Samara Man - We all know about Florida Man, well, what if there were some crazy antics at Samara. And what if that was attributed to the infamous Samara Man?

Completed Works

My Adversary, My Abyss - Canon-compliant fic centered around a Mira/Syrena relationship. Sparks fly when they first meet in Cordyn.

That Infamous Infantry Guy - What if that infantry guy Violet alluded to when Xaden asked about her past lovers was actually Halden Tauri?

The Music Of The Night - A tale of hatred turned obsession. Violet/Varrish written for the Rider's Quadrant Winter Solstice fic exchange. Phantom of the Opera vibes.

Secrets Die With Those Who Keep them ... So What's One More - A totally smutty crackship. Violet/Quinn, Violet/Imogen/Bodhi, Imogen/Bodhi/Garrick ... all over the course of one night. Yet somehow, it actually makes sense.

A Ray of Light in Shadowed Clouds - Tairn POV about his relationship with Violet, Sgaeyl, and The Wingleader as they spend an afternoon flying together, per Xaden's request. (Written for the FW Gift Exchange)

Measure Up - Xaden can't stop thinking about Dain after a comment Nyra made ... this is a Xaden/Dain one-shot. (Written for the FW Gift Exchange)

multishipper33

last book: hag-seed by margaret atwood!! it’s a retelling of the tempest through a guy who does a production of the tempest which is a play where so,e guy conjures up a tempest of his own which is a sort of play in and of itself. somehow this manages to be *puts on nyt accent* sharp yet poignant with subtle notes of caramel.

last song: letterbomb by green day. iconic start and those guitars… the bassline… also opening with “where have all the bastards gone?” is suuuuuch a line. absolutely recommend

last series: watching (rewatching on my part) inthelittlewood’s past life w my fam, and various interspersed episodes of: 2 broke girls (it’s a sitcom you’ve seen the clips), crash landing on you (every fanfic trope ever but it’s f/m kdrama), and culinary class wars (iron chef but south korean and oddly more intense)

last movie: oh teals a decent colour for this. project hail mary!! it was my second screening in two hours, I was with my friends at a birthday party. we were in the theatre and I got cinnamon donuts. I’ve actually been craving those all day,,,,,,,

tea or coffee: honestly depends on the day but rn i want a chai latte. which is a nonanswer

sweet/salty: sweet. man i used to pick salty as a kid but ever since i entered the world of liking donuts everything changed. now i get vanilla in my iced latte…

tags: @the-canary-wives (tell me everything!!) @its-that-gay-fox (yeah I know you. but you need to right the wrong of only tea and coffee as options) @crifevergreen (it’s been long enough since we spoke properly) @asterlynn2728 (also feels like it’s been forever!!!!) @strawbxrrypies (love new moot info) + open tags :D

thanks for the taggg

(guys I woke up to like seven Hundred tag games I'm not even joking I'll do as many as I can but if I don't reply to yours that doesn't mean I don't wanna do them in general I just got a lot today)

I swear I've done something similar to this before but the answers have most likely changed so..

last book: oh my god I actually haven't read a book in ages I'm too locked in on fanfiction. im in the middle of trying to read a sunrise on the reaping and also all shall mourn but the last one I actually read was a book called they hate eachother by Amanda woody. it's my comfort book.

last song: counting sheep by the crane wives. are we surprised guys!?

last series: soupforeloise's tomadochi life stream. it's very long but I'm getting through it cause I adore her and her mii's are probably the worst behaved I've ever seen. very cutieful.

last movie: oh it's been a hot minute i don't watch movies. it might be fear street. that's the last one I remember liking.

tea or coffee: I have very aggressively answered coffee on the last few questions like this and that is still true, but Id just like to mention as an Irish person I like tea and abnormal amount as well :) it's culture here.

sweet/salty: always sweet always no matter what. idm salty but I adore sweet things :)

Thanks for the tag :) .

Last book: I started reading the opening paragraph to Bleak House the other day. Other than that... I bought Murderbot Vol 2 and started reading a bit of that awhile back.

Last song: I recently sought out "You're My Best Friend" ❤️ - Queen, though I let the radio play after.

Last series: Good Omens ❤️.

Last game: Portal Stories: Mel/Portal 2

Last movie: mm, I suppose the Good Omens TV finale is technically a movie :P . Aside from that, it's been awhile. If we're not counting BBC Sherlock as TV movies, then I think it might have been a marvel movie.

Tea or coffee: I haven't had coffee in quite awhile, and I can enjoy a nice cup of tea, so I suppose tea. Either can be enjoyable, I think.

Sweet/salty: Right now, probably more leaning towards enjoying sweets. Salt is an effective flavor enhancer, though.

I don't always respond to these, but it's nice of you to think of me.

@gluttonforpunsmanship @blueyedgrass and anyone else who wants to reply 👍

gluttonforpunsmanship

Oh shucks, I'm just happy to be involved 😊

Last book: I'm re-reading the Lord of the Rings, though it has, admittedly, been incredibly slow going

Last Song: my local radio station plays every single genre, so I've been listening to a little bit of everything, though the last song that stuck out to me was "Butterfly Wings" by Jenn Cristy.

Last Series: I've been revisiting "My adventures with Superman" because the new season is coming out in a few weeks

Last game: well, I assume we're talking about videogames, in which case I've been playing No Man's Sky when I can remember I own a computer, otherwise I play a ridiculous amount of D&D

Last movie: one of my friends recently dragged me out to see hail Mary. It was the same week that Artemis was coming back from the moon, and I did cry, a few times

Tea or coffee: I do both! Though I'm trying to cut back on coffee for several reasons, but I drink it from time to time. As a little treat

Sweet or salty: I like a balance, but I probably lean towards sweet

I've never done one of these games before, so I haven't put much thought into who I would even ask, so please bear with me 🐻 @msvblight @griffin1023 @archivist-reblogs

msvblight

oooh

Last Book: Epic of Gilgamesh

Last Song: Do the Evolution by Pearl Jam

Last Series: Invincible. Only really watching it to get it watched, kinda fed up with it

Last Game: Deep Rock Galactic

Last Movie: Extraction - it's kinda piss-filter trash but it's got some excellent fight scenes I reference for my fallout ttrpg character Vega

Tea or Coffee: Both, I mostly drink black coffee because it's less effort. But unfortunately I'm also hopelessly dependant on my monster energy drink at the start of the workday

Sweet or Salty: Salty, but occasionally I'll binge chocolate and feel ill

@aromanticsky @feytalagog @gorillastraylight @transdicegoblin

feytalagog

Last book: Gideon the ninth (again)

Last song: possibly butcher vanity? I forgor

Last film: mission impossible.

Last series: frieren if I recall. Need to get back to it

Last game: Vintage Story or Minecraft bedrock (I was one-upped by a ten year old cousin)

Tea or coffee: not really either but coffee if I had to pick

Sweet or salty: salty. Sweet stuff is fine but id rather cheese.

One Manhattan

The completed long fic with @saranova One Manhattan (and it's companion piece Two Manhattans) have officially been archived from ao3.

Why? Because they have been scrubbed and published as an original work!! There have been significant changes, chapters added and removed, characters changed, enhanced, and removed, but the origins will always be FW fanfic. Think of the original One Manhattan as "based on" the fanfic of the same name

You can purchase/read One Manhattan here: https://www.amazon.com/One-Manhattan-Tenley-Ser%C3%A9/dp/B0H15BWF91/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0

Or if you prefer not to go through amazon, you can purchase direct from IngramSpark (US only): https://shop.ingramspark.com/b/084?params=qL8PeHNBm4nzPQAiiL49KsjN5KFQ7EKPyY4nFyS6pnC

Or ask your local indie bookstore to purchase from ingramspark (available from retailers who source from IngramSpark regardless of country)

ONE MANHATTAN HAS BEEN ADAPTED INTO AN ORIGINAL WORK. It's been such a journey - but a very exciting one!! And we're so thrilled that Hadley and Jaxon's story is now out in the universe.

One Manhattan Cover Reveal

When @tegantales and I decided to adapt One Manhattan into an original work for publication, we knew we would need a compelling cover. We were discussing how to go about finding a cover artist when one of readers @copperfirebird (who has grown to become someone we consider a friend) posted a drawing he’d done as fan art of One Manhattan. To say we were blown away would be an understatement.

We reached out to him and asked if he would be open to collaborating with us on a commissioned cover design. We knew it would be a learning process for all of us - but it just felt right - working alongside a talented artist from the fandom community as we grew together conceptualizing what the cover of this book might look like.

We are thrilled with the final product - but even more so, we are thrilled with how meaningful of a project this was - there is something really special about collaborating with another artist from the Fourth Wing community - and someone who has been here with us since the very beginning of this journey.

Jack - we appreciate your patience, dedication, and determination to help us hone our ever-changing vision into something that really captures the spirit of One Manhattan (and of course that NYC skyline glow.) Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

One Manhattan releases on May 14. The ebook is currently available for preorder HERE. And the paperback will also be available on May 14th.

A LOT has changed since its fanfic origins story - but the story’s arc remains the same. We cannot wait for you all to meet Hadley and Jaxon in just a few short days! And until then, enjoy Jack’s beautiful cover art 😍

Another Taste: Chapter 3

And we’re back! Our friend @siobhanbooks tipped us off that it’s Lesbian Visibility Week. Perfect timing because we’ve got another delicious chapter of our Myrena fic, Another Taste for you to feast on.

One Manhattan Update

@tegantales have been relatively quiet on here for a while because we’ve been busy offline. For those who didn’t know, we have been deep in the process of adapting One Manhattan into an original work. And now, after months of intense editing, reworking, and making some pretty fundamental changes, we finally have a release date.

ONE MANHATTAN IS RELEASING INTO THE WORLD IN ITS ORIGINAL FORM ON MAY 14, 2026!!!

One Manhattan, up and in a coupe, changed the course of Hadley Aldridge's night… and maybe her life.

Hadley has always played by the rules. She has always made safe choices. The right choices. But after a string of corporate disappointments, a broken relationship, and a rent hike she can not afford, she goes looking for a distraction from the wreckage of the life she once had perfectly under control. For a single night, Hadley Aldridge decides to be reckless. No names. No consequences. Just a one-night escape from her reality, before it’s back to business. Because next week’s meeting is her last shot and getting her life back on its carefully maintained track.

CEO, Jaxon Avenier is Wall Street's most eligible bachelor. He's known for being decisive, controlled, and completely uninterested in distraction. Not in business. Not in life. And certainly not for love. When Jaxon sits in on the latest pitch to his firm, he finds himself wanting to invest in more than just the business opportunity presented; he wants the woman behind it. But for someone as sharp as Hadley, she knows getting involved with the man who holds her future in his hands, is a game she can't afford to play.

In a city where optics are everything and power is wielded like a weapon, Hadley learns that secrets are their own kind of currency, and the one she’s harboring has the potential to derail everything she’s built.

Preorders for the eBook will be available beginning next week. We cannot wait to share Hadley and Jaxon’s story with all of you soon!

Another Taste

After a bit of a hiatus spent working on some other projects (like adapting One Manhattan for publication) @tegantaleswe and I are officially back in the MHL universe with our Myrena Modern AU.

The whole story is outlined and the words are just falling out of us because writing these two absolute queens is just so much fun.

lovemedarkly29

Ok so today’s fanart frenzy contribution is not Riorgail for once. It’s fanart of the fic that @saranova wrote for me called Under Her Command. The prompt for this fic was basically “Mira having hot sex with lots of hot people” or something to that effect - and Sara knew I wanted to read a Garrick/Mira in Samara scene. And the fic did not disappoint! We have a scene with Nyra Voldaren (RIP) and Mira in Athebyne on the left and Garrick with her in Samara on the right. Mira is my favorite!!

saranova

Not only was writing this fic for @lovemedarkly29 an absolute pleasure, but now I get to see amazing art for it from lovemedarkly?? Are you kidding??? Mira, our love.

The Perfect Stand-In

Writing this angst buffet for the queen of angst @saranova was so much damn fun. For any lovers of rare pairs, angst, and yearning — this fic is for you.

Endless thanks to my amazing betas @isabelle-grace and @ellebellewritesfic

Summary:

Violet Sorrengail is my cousin's fiance.

Violet Sorrengail is infuriatingly maddening. Stubborn. Hot-headed. A know-it-all. Loud-mouthed with opinions on every little damn thing.

Violet Sorrengail is… naked in my bedroom. Begging to be fucked. By me.

Read here: Chapter One

saranova

The most perfect gift!!!! I love this Bodhi/Violet angstfest so much, thank you!!! @livinforthefanfics

Under Her Command

When Desire Outranks Protocol

Calling all Mira lovers for this one! Wrote a little two-chapter ficlet for @lovemedarkly29 and chapter 1 is up. An exploration of Mira Sorrengail and her sexual escapades while stationed at Athebyne and Samara ;)

allthingswhumpyandangsty

two things that can and should coexist: writing fanfiction for yourself as a form of self-care slash comfort and appreciating kind comments given by your readers, as well as using these encouraging comments as a source of motivation to write more fics

It's true. Comments do feed us!

The Mile High Lie: The Epilogue

It’s hard to believe this fic is done. 100K words and 31 chapters later this universe has captured our hearts. Thank you to all of you who followed along on this journey with us. We are taking a short holiday break and will be returning with new collaborations in January - including one set in this same universe!

Another Taste

Oops we did it again! @tegantales and I teamed up to expand Aftertaste into a full length sapphic romance fic. Why? Because representation matters and this fandom needs more femslash. Also, because we love the Mile High Lie universe and weren’t ready to leave it!

We love the dynamic between Mira and Syrena so much, and we hope you’ll join us for this next fanfic adventure. The prologue posted today - we took some chapters of Aftertaste and expanded on them and gods we can't get enough of these two and their chemistry. We have more Riorgail in the pipeline, but we are taking a brief hiatus to focus on this badass pair of ladies.

Violet realized she’d never been taken care of in this way before. And, she realized, she liked it. Mira was right, Violet thought, drifting off as sleep slowly claimed her. This was fucking dangerous.

This particular quote comes from The Mile High Lie by @saranova and @tegantales but it's an echo of the canon, and one that is an emotional backbone of a lot of fics in this fandom.

Xaden and Violet's relationship has a "soft only for you" theme that gets highlighted over and over because even if we have friends we care about, family, significant others... it's easy to realize you don't even have walls up all the time because there are people who see fewer of your walls than others.

It's like a fortress with outer walls, inner walls, maybe a moat... just because you've let people in through one or two of your walls doesn't mean you're letting them all the way in, but it's easy to forget you're living inside those walls if you never leave them.

We're heading into the gift season of the year, and gift-giving (whether physical gift or art or fic) is definitely something I put a lot of thought into. @sarcasticmothwrites and I have been together in some iteration or another for more than 20 years now. As you may have guessed, I've given them a lot of gifts.

It's not hard.

But every time I do, I think about when they told me they always believed they were hard to buy gifts for. They're not the only person I know who says that, though. It's achingly common for us to feel like we can't be high maintenance. We can't be demanding. We can't need things.

Maybe one of the things I love about Violet and/or Xaden (depending on what I'm reading them in) is how relatable it is to see characters believe that the bare fucking minimum they should have from people who care about them is dangerous to want.

Especially Xaden, for me-- it's common for people socialized as female to be taught not to take up space, but I've not made a secret of the fact that I identify with Xaden a lot and the ways we see him allowing himself to be vulnerable, to be cared for, whether it's cake on the roof or a scene in a fic...

I've spent twenty years unpacking the belief that I have to be unobtrusive or useful or both or else I'm not worth keeping around. It's probably not an accident that it's about the same amount of time I've been with Moth. It's a slow process and I've had a lot of friends help along the way. The generosity of this fandom has blown me away repeatedly, and I'm still learning that it's okay to let people care about me. I probably always will be relearning it.

But I appreciate everyone who's messaged me when I was sitting on my theoretical rooftop and offered chocolate cake. And I hope you have people offering you the same.

Not poison cake, though.

Thank you for sharing, Jack. It's always wonderful to see when our words, and things we put out into the world written as reflection of our favorite characters - and the bits of ourselves we see in them - resonate with others. And I hope you know that you deserve all the chocolate cake ;)

Fun fact: yours truly, despite being a hockey-obsessed dork in high school, also went to a LOT of showings of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

(yes, I contain multitudes. no, don't ever try to throw me in a box.)

How is this relevant? Because I recently went back home to see a 50th Anniversary showing of the movie with a HS friend for her birthday ... and since the Empyrean happens to be my Roman empire ... obviously I had to combine the two. And 'tis the season for that.

Antici ... pation Is Always Good

In which our characters have a Saturday off and decide to see a film in Chantara. Also known as the fic where our favorite broody drama duke was 100000% a former theater kid.

(special thanks to @saranova for helping me with the roles mentioned, btw)

Okay, so a short thing I did for @saranova femslash week fic:

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

I'm adoring it so much, had no idea there was femslash week, or else I might have put something together for it (sorry). Deeply thankful for @saranova, who keeps letting me know when she's cooking something, and to @krispypajamalady for helping with the whole thing.
