#fourth wing au

[danikamariewrites]

A request for maybe an AU with Liam. And reader and Liam meet at a ball with plenty of fluff and joy and fun! I just want to go to a ball with this man, what can I say?

Prince Charming

prince!Liam Mairi x princess!reader

Notes: Hi! I hope you like the AU that I came up with. I loved the thought of Liam as a prince and more of a lighter tone on the arraigned marriage trope since Liam and reader want to be married. They got lucky and Liam def needs a happy ending after what he’s been through🥲

And Happy Onyx Storm month! I can’t believe we are so close to book 3, so it’s only appropriate we kick off the month with a FW fic.

Warnings: arranged marriage

The clock tower chimes seven as I step down from the carriage. A footman holding out his hand to help me down. As I give him a kind smile my brother rounds the carriage in a huff, giving me a disapproving look.

I give him a smirk, waiting for him to take my arm. “You know I’m supposed to help you down, not some servant.” He chastises, guiding me inside the castle. Keeping smiles on our faces and nodding at other nobles we recognize to hide our sibling spat. “Oh brother, you’re too traditional. I could’ve gotten out myself.”

My brother jokingly tsks at me. He knows it’s a smaller insult I can give about him being to like our parents.

“War is here and we need to make you look like the princess you are, little sister. Remember why we are here.” My brother’s tone a mix between commanding and somber. With Navarre at war my arranged marriage is closer than I’d like.

Navarre and Tyrrendor need to unite as kingdoms. I can’t say I’m happy about this being sooner rather than later. If it were up to me, I’d be flying in my father’s legion. My dragon has been itching to stretch her wings, the promise of going to war making her restless.

Tonight my brother is presenting me to Prince Liam. This will be the first time we’ve seen each other since we were teenagers. I don’t remember much about him. I remember his soft blonde hair and kind smile as we explored his family’s castle when we were children. As we grew older our meetings became more formal and less adventurous. I wish I remembered where all the halls led, or what passage was behind which painting now. I could use the escape.

Though Prince Liam is kind and I’ve never heard a bad thing about him this whole situation is still nerve wracking. Much more nerve wracking than flying into war, something I’m at least prepared for.

My brother and I are guided by knights to the hall just outside the throne room. The Mairi family crest staring at me on the carved wooden doors. I take deep breathes, calming myself.

My brother gently squeezes my hand, giving me a reassuring smile. “It’ll be fine. You know Liam, he’s kind.” I nod in agreement. “Besides,” he adds. “I would never let father marry you off to some tyrant.” That gets a laugh out of me. We smile at each other. “I’m thankful you’re here.” I say before we’re announced and the double doors are opened.

The crowd cheers, parted down the center of the room so we can walk straight to the dais. I keep my eyes anywhere but the crowd or royals before me. My brother notices my timidness and pinches my elbow, as if to say look up.

I stand straight and I’m met with the most beautiful, striking blue eyes. I remember a lot about Liam, but those eyes have grown more captivating as he got older. And he’s taller. Holy hell, a lot taller.

His blonde hair looks the same. Still shiny and soft looking. I want to run my fingers through it.

We come to a stop, bowing before the king and queen of Tyrrendor. “King Isaac, Queen Viviane, thank you for the kind welcome. It’s wonderful to be back in your home.” I barely hear my brother’s words. My undivided attention on Liam, and his on me. As my brother continues his little speech it feels like everything in the room has fallen away.

Like it’s just Liam and I. How has it been so long since we last saw each other? Is there such a thing as love at second sight? I blush under his gaze, earning a smirk from the prince. My prince.

Liam steps down from the dias right in front of me. My brother slips his arm from mine, Liam taking my hand, bringing my fingers to his lips, kissing them softly. His eyes never breaking away from mine. “It’s lovely to see you again, y/n.”

“Likewise, Liam.”

King Isaac stands, declaring the festivities begin. Liam lead me to the dance floor while my brother is whisked away to the King’s table.

Liam wordlessly takes my hand, placing his other on my hip. The way he’s looking at me sends a chill down my spine. I can see something twinkle in his eyes. My heart leaps at the hope of love.

As the music starts Liam leads me around the dance floor. All eyes on us as the prince and princess reunite for a dance.

“You look even more beautiful than the last time I saw you.” Gods, his voice. A sweet, deep melody that makes goosebumps break out along my arms. “Well, it has been a few years.” That earns a small laugh from my prince.

Suddenly becoming self conscious, I am unable to meet his eyes. “Hey,” he murmurs. Taking his hand from my hip to tilt my chin up. “No need to be shy with me, love.” I smile at him like an idiot. Good gods, how do I find war on dragon back easier than talking to my fiancée?

“How are you feeling, about all this?” I ask in a hushed tone, as it not be heard by nosy gossips.

Liam takes a moment to think, making my heart drop to my stomach. “Happy.” My eyes widen slightly at his honestly. “Really?”

“Of course. Y/n, from the moment I met you I was enamored by you. And seeing you again tonight made me realize there is no one I’d rather spend the rest of my life with. It’ll be an adventure, like we used to have.” I smile at the memory of a younger us.

Liam dips me, pulling me up then spinning me away from him, then back to his chest. Swaying us to the rhythm of the music.

“How are you feeling?” He whispers. “The same.” I say truthfully. “When I saw you tonight I remembered every time we met before. How safe I felt with you. How much I like being with you.” the truth tumbles from my lips before I can stop.

Liam spins me again, pulling me flush against his chest this time. His hand sliding to the small of my back. It felt like it belonged there, forming to the curve of my spine perfectly. Our lips are mere inches from each other now, our breaths mixing. My eyes dart from his lips to his enticing blue ones.

I lean up on my toes as Liam leans down to meet me halfway. As much as I don’t want our first kiss to be public I can’t deny him. The pull to my prince magnetic. When our lips meet my heart pounds against my ribs. Begging to be impossibly closer to his. The kiss was slow and exploratory. Both of us exploring each other’s mouths. Learning slowly what makes the other gasp or moan.

Breaking apart my eyes stay closed, reveling in the moment. They flutter open a moment later to see a flushed Liam. His hands gripping my hips, keeping me close. He leans down, those soft blonde curls tickling the side of my face. “Is the secret passage behind the big painting still your favorite?” I give him a small hum as a yes.

He takes my hand again, quickly pulling me from the ball room to go find the passage. To our next adventure.

You know how I was talking about various WIPs? Well ...

"It's Violet. Her scars ..." he trails off. I swallow hard. If the fever I got after being stabbed with that godsforsaken dagger while pregnant wasn't enough to damn her, with her two-toned hair and fragile body, the gods chose her to be a part of a fated soul-scar pair. My tiny, delicate daughter has been chosen to be a part of history, and I am terrified to know what that means for her future. Scars as soulmarks are rare enough, but scars showing up before she comes of age? The rarest of all. "Show me," I demand, my fear coming out as brusqueness. He walks close to me, brushing our hands together, taking my hand the second we enter our quarters, squeezing hard. He opens the door to her bedroom and I raise my hand up to my mouth to stifle the horrified gasp that is desperate to escape. My daughter's back is covered with angry red lines, fresher scar marks than I've ever seen on a member of a soul-scarred pair. "I don't understand it," my husband whispers. I can't say a word. I don't know how to tell him that I'm the reason our daughter has 107 fresh scars on her back. And that her fucking soulmate is the son of the disgraced Fen Riorson.

(obviously a first draft and I already know how some of this is going to be edited ... but yeah. also ... why am i considering working in the canon universe when the series isn't done yet? whyyyyyyyyy ...)

My au in a nutshell

[mattyalwayssmokesweed]

So… I actually started writing the au I mentioned in this post. The first chapter is mostly and introduction, but I’m almost done with chapter two and I’ll post it as soon as I can!

Here’s the link for those who want it: https://archiveofourown.org/works/58851091/chapters/149991277

(Tagging the people who asked me to let them know when the story was out. If you don’t want to be mentioned, let me know and I’ll take you off)

on the thought process of jealous xaden...

remember how xaden and violet pretty much ignored each other for weeks after that first kiss in fourth wing?

what if, and don't kill me for this, violet ends up sleeping with some random guy when she is unable to fully block out tairn's lust one night? And instead of the Jack Barlowe challenge being the thing that makes xaden crack and start talking to her again, it's the jealousy?

i can totally imagine xaden finding out and just straight up strangling the guy during breakfast with his shadows just to make a public claim on violet because we all know that man goes fucking feral when he is jealous and possessive

hear me out...

[swcowgal]

I always love inserting clones where they don’t belong so here is Captain Gregor, dragon rider of the Navarrian military

[kingdom-of-sins]

Wheel of Time x Fourth Wing AU

Okay but imagine Violet as an Aes Sedai. Probably a Blue Ajah, very powerful but yet to discover most of her strength. Liam Miari as her warder. A very special bond. They can't read each other's minds but can always figure out what the other one is thinking. Violet wouldn't have chosen anyone else to be her warder and Liam wouldn't have willfully bonded with anyone else.

Then a terrible war happens, probably against the seanchan. Liam and Violet fighting then with everything they have. There was a way for Liam to escape, Violet made sure of it but it would result in Violet getting captured and Liam can't let it happen. So Liam tricked Violet and died in her place and forced her to leave. Because of Liam she is alive. Because of Liam she is not a damane.

Liam left a big void in Violet and she swore never to take another warder. Soon she started to feel like she was being watched and followed but always fail to catch the person, that was until she was attacked by a couple of Fades. Violet is powerful but it's not easy to defeat two fades at the same time. She was certain she would die that is until someone else cut the head of a fade with a big sword. Both took care of the other fade. The guy introduced himself as Xaden Riorson

[strayheartless]

So here’s the FFVII Basgiath war collage AU nobody asked for!

For my own amusement all the dragons that the characters are bonded to are other FF characters! Why? Because I needed an excuse to get my usual Strifehart Agenda into this that’s why! ANYWAY!

First up!

Cloud Srife:

General background: mountain kid who grew up outcasted from social groups, dreams of becoming like the great dragon rider Sephiroth. However Cloud grew up with a litany of health problems and so most people do not think he will make it past the parapet!

Dragons name: Squall, son of Laguna, - classification: Brown sword tail- (Don’t look at me like that you know it was coming.)

Signet power: weather wielder. Cloud is extremely adept at wind magic, but can also bring with him great rainstorms and snow flurries. With the help of Squall, Cloud turns out to be one of the greatest riders of his age.

Zack Fair:

General Background: Born in the rural south, Zack grew up training to be a rider since he knew what one was. His father had served in the infantry, believing he did not have what it took to be a rider, while Zack is the opposite. Zack has admired Dragons and their riders all his life and will do just about anything (outside of killing and maiming) to get that chance.

Dragons name: Noctis, son of Ragis, - Classification: Black Dagger tail -

Signet power: object summoning. Zack is able to summon and dismiss objects (including weapons) at will as long as they are either in sight or are part of Noctis’ Armiger.

Aerith Gainsborough:

General Background: spent her early life in Basgieth with her mother who was a scribe, however during the Rebellion her mother fled with her for reasons unknown only for her to return at the age of 22 with the express wish to become a rider. She is believed to be too fragile to ride, but she is an incredible asset to any wing.

Dragons name: Oerba De Vanille (Vanille) - classification: Red feather tail.

Signet power: Mending. Can heal pretty much any wound as well as restoring masonry and restoring whole villages. She cannot revive the dead. Aerith also has a second signet, that was not gifted to her by Vanille, but by her mother’s dragon Sarah.She also is Agrarian, meaning she wields plant life and allows it to flourish.

Tifa Lockhart:

General background: grew up in the same mountain village as Cloud, yet has been training to be a rider since she was six. Her father paid for her to have the very best lessons, and while Tifa was technically not allowed to speak to Cloud, she used to sneak out to teach him all she could. They have been secretly best friends for a long time.

Dragons name: Yda, daughter of Curtis -Classification: Red club tail-

Signet: retroconition. Tifa has the ability to see anybodies memories through touch. This makes her incredibly important to the war effort while she is taken straight into training for Intellegence after Threshing.

Barret Wallace (instructor)

General background: previously part of rebellion. Was spared because he was chosen as a rider by a well respected dragon. Has no large loyalty to the Basgiath army and has his suspicions about corruption through the ranks.

Dragons name: Ragis, Son of Mors -Classifiation: Blue scorpion tail-

Signet: Truth Sayer. Barret knows when he’s being lied to. He can see it on the air like colours and knows tells in everyone at first glance. This makes him an excellent teacher, but also an extreme sceptic. He knows that he is being lied to left right and centre, but it’s how he proves it that’s the problem.

Angeal Hewley:

General background: grew up in the rural south west. His mother was a healer while his father had always dreamed of being a rider, but had been too sick to pass the agility test at conscription. Angeal’s dream is to Honour his late father by becoming a Rider and bringing honour to his family.

Dragons name: Gladiolus son of Clarus, -Classification: brown Clubtail-

Signet power: Angeal is a metal wielder. He has the ability to manipulate and mould any metal into whatever shape serves him best. He is also able to use metal as projectiles.

Sephiroth:

General background: Grew up in Basgiath. Has been training to be a rider since birth. All he has ever known is training and the threat of death that looms with every flight. He is the only son of two healers who serve General Shinra directly, yet his mother passed when he was very small. His goal is to retire. He just wants this war to end.

Dragons name(s): Adel and Ultamacia. - Classification(s): Adel is a Red Morningstar tail. Ultamacia is a black dagger tail.

Signet power: being Bonded to two dragons means Sephiroth is powerful with a capital P. His powers are kept Classified because he could become extremely dangerous with the right motivation. He is both an illusionist and a Inntinnsic dream walker. He has the ability to get inside people’s heads, read their thoughts, see their dreams and reshape their realities in both the waking and sleeping world. He has only ever used his powers in battle but after an attempt to wheedle a coup plot out of some first years goes astray, Sephiroth grows more frightened of what he could do to people he cares about.

Genesis Rhapsodos:

General background: grew up in rural south west with Angeal. was training to be a scribe for most of his life until the family decided he would honour them more to be a rider. He was made furious by this and vowed that if he was to play to their tune it would be done his way. Genesis is the second most (after Sephiroth) Terrifying Rider in Basgiath Collage. Mostly because his rage, indignation and wicked intellect fuel his every move in battle and in social settings.

Dragons Name: Dion, son of Sylvestra -Classification: rare Golden Scorpion tail.

Signet power: precognition. Genesis can see the future. He hates that he can and quite often he avoids touching people or objects with bare skin because he can see so much of what will be or what may come to pass. Most people believe he can only see the outcomes of battles, But Genesis has seen more than that. He has seen futures where the world burns at General Shinras command, where Sephiroth takes out his own rage after a step too far. He has seen futures where he himself is driven mad by his own power and knows keenly that it is the knowledge of every loss that cannot be prevented not accurately predicted (as the future is in constant flux) that fuels his rage against everything.

Well, apparently every time I write this story, it ends up being a 3k chapter. Don’t ask me, I’m as clueless as you are.

Jokes aside, here’s chapter three of Queen of the Clouds! Hope you enjoy it😁

[saphofthehollow]

I can't stop thinking about a Fourth Wing AU where Violet knew all about venin and wyvern right from the beginning (maybe from her father telling her when she was younger or perhaps even from leaving her notes). And she pretended to want to join the Scribe Quadrant but always intended to join the Riders Quadrant so she doesn't protest too much when her mother forces her to walk the parapet.

I keep thinking of how she could have an even more strained relationship with her mother because maybe she also knew what happened to the marked ones and how her mother gave Xaden those 107 scars. Perhaps she even fought with and defended the marked ones her mother over it before she even joined the Riders Quadrant or personally knew any of the marked ones.

I just need a fanfic like this where Violet goes into her first year at Riders Quadrant with full intention of training and graduating while doing anything possible to expose that the leadership is hiding the truth about venin and the wyvern and like bonding to Tairn ends up making her even more confident in her intentions since now she also has a powerful dragon in her corner.

Imagine she's doing the same thing like sneaking weapons out and stuff and accidentally comes across Xaden and some of the marked ones and they end up forming an alliance or something. And that's how Xaden and Violet start falling for each other.

Oooh! And maybe Violet does shit like indirectly threatening her mother to expose the leadership's lies every time they cross paths in the college. Perhaps she'd even "accidentally" throw knives at her mother's aides outside the rotunda to scare them.
