Summary
“Why a macchiato?” I finally ask as I steam the milk.
“Why not a macchiato?”
“Don’t be contrary.” I shoot back. “If you don’t like milk, order an espresso.”
“I do like milk.” He rests his elbows on the counter, a slow smile spreading across his face as he stares across at me.
“Then order a flat white.”
“Not that much milk.” One corner of his lips ticks up in a lopsided smirk.
My eye twitches. “F—” Fuck you, is what I was going to say, but at the last minute I realise he’s still a customer and I need to remain professional…and also I don’t want to give him the satisfaction of knowing how much he irritates me.

Summary
Violet is happy to helm story time for the early-learners group occasionally—it is her bookstore after all—but she has no interest in catering it for the holidays. None. Nada. And for the last time, there will be no tinsel in this building, Ridoc!
Enter Xaden Riorson: handsome tattoo artist and single dad. He's just trying his best to make ends meet, get his daughter to that reading-session-thing she likes so much, and make sure she has the best Christmas now that she's old enough to remember it.
Oh, and convince the gorgeous bookstore owner that the holidays aren't so bad after all if they celebrate them together. That too.

Summary
(Spoilers for Fourth Wing and Iron Flame)
What if Violet Sorrengail wasn’t forced into the riders quadrant on conscription day? What if she became a scribe cadet, the very thing she trained her entire life to become only to discover leadership is hiding something?
What if Xaden Riorson is searching for something in the archives? What would he do if he came across the daughter of the woman who took so many people he loved away from him? She’s just a weak little scribe right?- Language:

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.
Set shortly after the events in Fourth Wing.

Summary
There’s no hiding a hard-on in these pants. All I can do is snatch a pillow off the bed and hold it in front of my crotch while I answer the door, praying she’s already suffering enough not to laugh at me. With a frustrated breath I turn the knob, and—
“Do you have anything to smoke?” Violet asks immediately, eyes locked on mine like she’s already decided not to lower them down my body.
Dammit.
“No,” I admit. “Left it all back at Basgiath.”
She curses in a series of words I’ve never heard put together before, and it would almost be amusing if her face weren’t so flushed, and if she were wearing more than just a short night dress right outside my bedroom. Her hair is all mussed and loose around her shoulders, and another throb of pleasure has me determinedly locking my body into place so I won’t do something stupid, like try to kiss her.
-—•—-
The dragons are at it again, and even though Xaden is the last person Violet wants to rely on right now, she has no one else to turn to.
Set shortly after the events of Fourth Wing.
