Summary
Xaden Riorson is being eaten alive by the nightmares he hides, and Violet Sorrengail is running from the ones that nearly destroyed her - but when their worlds collide, the fire between them might save them both… or burn them to ash.
Aretia is a city on the edge, and no one feels the strain more than Xaden Riorson - newly appointed Captain in Station Four, he's been running from his nightmares by running into fires. Across town Violet Sorrengail, AGH’s newest trauma nurse, is running from a past that she can't seem to escape.
What begins as a single collision becomes impossible to ignore. Every shift, every call, every near‑miss pulls them closer, until the line between duty and desire blurs beyond recognition. And as Aretia grows more unstable, Xaden and Violet must decide whether the fire between them is worth the risk of being burned.

Summary
It should be illegal to look that good.
And the worst part? Xaden’s irrevocably, completely, without a doubt, off-limits. Although, I’d very much like him to be on-limits.
And on me.He also happens to be the guy I’ve been hopelessly in love with for the last 7 years. Unrequited of course, because a guy like Xaden would never be interested in his best friend’s kid sister.

Summary
Violet has spent her entire life pretending to be normal.
At the flower shop, she is just Violet Daxton—the quiet girl who runs the register and arranges bouquets. No one there knows her real last name. No one knows her family is part of Basgiath, the coalition of crime families.
And Violet intends to keep it that way.
But when Melgren is assassinated, the men responsible walk straight into the shop to order funeral flowers.
Violet is many things, but stupid isn’t one of them. Opportunities like this don’t come twice.
Xaden Riorson is her target, and if she can get close enough to him while hiding behind her harmless little florist identity—and exploiting Liam Mairi’s sudden obsession with Sol—she might finally earn the one thing she’s never had:
Her mother’s approval.
Violet has spent years keeping her two lives separate.
She just never expected them to collide like this.

Fandoms: The Empyrean - Rebecca Yarros

Summary
Violet Sorrengail is a highly effective political crisis consultant. Xaden Riorson is poised to win his late father's old senate seat. The hatred between the two runs deep, but its been years since their fiery classroom debates in college, and Violet was certain she'd never cross paths with him again, until her expertise is required to keep doctored stories that could sink Xaden's campaign from gaining traction just before the general election.
The chemistry is off-the-charts, the tension has every other staffer fleeing when the two end up in the same room, and the fire that existed between them is as hot as ever. But as time goes on, Violet begins to realize exactly how true the saying, "There's a thin line between love and hate," really is.

"Sorry. Not Mira.

I’d offer to pick you up, but we’re strangers. I can Venmo you for an Uber if that helps.
......I texted the wrong number.
Spot on."
(It's your classic modern wrong number AU, friends.)
(Texts from Violet are italicized, and texts from Xaden are in bold font. Title is from THE Xaden x Violet song, in my humble opinion, "Figure You Out" by Voila.) (Note 7/3/25: BingAI images are being replaced by original art! Cannot wait to share @TheComfyWitch💙)

Summary
Prythian was amid a time of peace; a feat that its inhabitants had fought for and defended for decades and centuries. The Inner Circle, ever-growing with new additions, maintained a steady rule over their territory and trained their heirs to cultivate and nurture everything that they had once sacrificed for.
As an Heiress to the High Lord and Lady's throne, Valeria would go to the ends of their World and any others in existence for her Court and her people, no matter the cost. Had grown into her power and strength and cunning to do just that.
But there was an evil inside of her; a beast clawing at the cages she so dutifully enforced to keep it secured. And as that beast of night and shadow raged through the darkest depths of her begging for release, fear of the danger she posed and the weight of a crown not yet donned threatened to bring her to her knees.
However, Valeria bowed to nobody. And once the gates of Realms were open and her family and continent were faced with an impossible war alongside allies from Worlds she had not known to exist, the choice to yield herself to the creature within proved to be as heavy as any throne. Whether it would be their salvation or ruin, she had yet to decide.
