Xaden POV: Fourth Wing by belle_beebee
Fandoms: Fourth Wing, The Empyrean - Rebecca Yarros
26 Aug 2023
Tags
Summary
Xaden Riorson thought he had figured out how to survive in this place. Now in his final year at Basgiath War College, he’s risen to the rank of Wingleader. He is focused on one thing: getting every kid of the rebellion bonded to a dragon. Then the real work can begin.
But he hadn’t counted on Violet Sorrengail, the General’s daughter, entering the Rider’s Quadrant. She’s not supposed to be here and she’s about to throw every plan he has made into chaos. Can he trust her? And more importantly, can he trust himself?
This follows the dialogue and events of Rebecca Yarros’s Fourth Wing, retold from Xaden’s perspective. This was written prior to the release of Iron Flame, so all theories and speculation are my own and unconfirmed. It's my best guess at exploring how Xaden might have felt throughout the story and features new scenes with Liam, Garrick, Imogen, Sgaeyl and Tairn. Major plot spoilers from the very first chapter.
All rights belong to Rebecca Yarros – thank you for building this world and introducing us to these incredible characters!

Summary
Simon Snow's screams have been keeping Baz up at night. Baz didn't mean for it to get so out of hand - he'd (really) only wanted sleep.
But now he was running out of excuses.

Summary
Eight weeks into their final year at Watford, Baz finally returns—and he's riddled with nightmares. Simon, for more reasons than he'd like to think about, has been sleeping poorly too.
Frayed nerves and a fragile truce carve out a space for them in the dark of night. Their room atop the tower becomes a place where they can talk and ache and profess and yearn, slowly, slowly.
Sharing a room (with a siren) (with an open fire) is sometimes more than either one can bear. Baz wants more, but can't have it; Simon has no idea what he wants.

Summary
Simon has never forgiven Baz for ruining his life at the start of eighth year. He’d hoped never to see Baz again. Ever.

Summary
At twenty-five, Simon Snow’s life is finally on the up. He’s got his magic back, people listen to him, and he can draw the Sword of Mages. A lot of people think he should lead the Coven.
But not everyone. The Old Families still see Simon as their enemy and they’re quite willing to quote obscure magickal law to stop him ascending to Mage. Simon’s never backed down from a challenge, though, or let anyone stop him doing what he needs to do. He’s not starting now.
Even if it means going back to school.

Summary
Fighting one war is bad enough; three is almost impossible. That’s why, when the Old Families offer the Mage a deal that will put an end to their conflict, he accepts.
Simon hates everything about the deal. (And his life. And he definitely hates Baz.) He’s only going along with his part in it because he’s the Mage’s Heir and he has to. There definitely aren’t any other reasons.
Or at least, if there are, Simon doesn’t know them. Yet.

Summary
It's the beginning of the end for former up-and-coming tennis sensation, Simon Snow. He used to care about his career, and thought he might actually make something of himself - but as always, he was left eternally chasing Baz Pitch's shadow. Months since Simon last made an effort, and years after either of them won anything of note, these two once-bright stars are on a collision course to meet at the tennis calendar's most prestigious event, the Watford Open. Will Simon smash a record number of rackets over the next fortnight? Will Baz step away from social media long enough to overcome his crippling self-doubt? Well, tennis fans - whip up a bowl of strawberries and cream and settle into your seats, because we're in for a marathon match. NEW BALLS PLEASE!

Summary
Simon sits by the same man on the train to work most mornings, and watches him do his crossword puzzle. In many ways these fifteen minutes are the best part of his day, and if he could just get his act together, maybe he could introduce the concept of "conversation" into both their lives...but that's easier said than done. Perhaps a slight intervention, by way of a train delay, might help? If they can survive Thursday's commute without serious injury, it might turn out to be the best (awkward) train journey, yet.

So This Is Christmas by KrisRix

Summary
Simon Snow hasn't got a clue as to why he doesn't want to fight his vampire nemesis to the death. All he's got is a stupid plan to pretend that he and Baz are dating so that The Mage won't make them fight.
Baz Pitch has got an envelope bursting with money and a burning desire to enjoy whatever time he can with the boy he loves. What he hasn't got is any clue what goes through Simon's head.
The two form a truce and run away together for Christmas, eager to bask in the things the holiday ought to bring...while the threat of war breathes down their necks.Snow's blubbering stops short as he takes in the beauty of the hotel’s interior. The lighting is dim and warm, making the off-white walls gleam. The furnishings are wooden and well cared for, the polish immaculate. I can see several fireplaces at work with a cursory glance. Perhaps most lovely of all is the scent of fresh pine wafting from the various wreaths and garlands artfully hung about. There are little baubles and lights in them. I eagerly await evening, when the hotel surely becomes even cosier and dimmer—I’m certain the Christmas lights will look divine when twinkling in Snow’s eyes.

Kiss It Better by KrisRix

Summary
"I'm not plotting. So will you kindly bugger off?"
"If you're not, then why have you been acting weird lately?"
Baz raises his eyebrow in that slow way that makes Simon's spine tingle. "You mean, vaguely civil?"
"Uh. Sure. That."
"Because I had the clearly absurd hope that it might make you more likely to leave me the fuck alone."
Simon thrusts a finger at Baz in triumph. It’s unimpressive, from so many meters away. "So you could plot something!"
"So I could have some peace," Baz hisses.
Simon rolls his eyes. "You'd have no idea what to do with yourself."
The curl of Baz’s lip is achingly slow. "I'd love to find out," he drawls.It's a snow day at Watford! Simon is thrilled and wants to play and explore. Baz is cold and hungry and needs to hunt. When their paths cross in the Wavering Wood, the enchanting winter wonderland sets the perfect atmosphere for flirting—until a goblin attack slices through their moment.

Summary
Desperate to prove a point to Penny, Simon casts a spell that’s meant to reveal his true feelings for someone — “Kiss, Marry, Kill” — on Baz. Predictably, the spell backfires.
