fourth wing fic masterpost

Besides Riorgail, I've also been dipping my toes into Hollanov if you want to check that out!

I found myself missing my favorite idiots lately, particularly the spyverse version of Violet and Xaden, because I really think that you write them better than RY- blasphemy I know, is only that you write so beautifully and understand them so well, it feels like magic.

So, to the confession, I have to admit that I hadn’t read “ivan luperco’s guide to surviving the rider’s quadrant”, mainly because is not a V/X story. I know, I’M SORRY, please forgive me mother, that I have sinned 🧎‍♀️

BUT I amended my mistake and read it the other day, and girl, it confirmed my blasphemy. I was without words while reading the chapter where Ivan manifested after Vi almost died in War Games and there’s a line that has been living in my brain 24/7:

"I-if you don't follow…" Violet starts weakly, but Riorson scoffs. His eyes are lit up with a rage that would have sent Ivan running under any other circumstances.

"I am following you," he swears to her stubbornly, eyes flooding with emotion. "Anywhere you fucking go, I'm going too, dragon bond or not. My heart only beats as long as yours does."

Ivan doesn't doubt it. In that moment, he has no doubt that if Violet dies today, their Wingleader will follow. Even if he has to take matters into his own hands.

“EVEN IF HE HAS TO TAKE MATTERS INTO HIS OWN HANDS”. It’s devastating but it’s true. In just one sentence you managed to encapsulate Xaden’s feeling and devotion to Violet in a way that I think even RY has not been able to do.

So thank you for writing and keep writing and sharing. When I first read the series I was a bit disappointed because I felt that it was over-hipped and that it could have been written so much better, but for some reason I could’t get away of the characters and fics like yours are water to my dry soul.

I cannot wait to keep reading everything that you decide to share with us 🤍

oh my god, this is so sweet!!! I'm so glad you gave Ivan's story a chance. I know people skip it just based on numbers, but I really am so so fond of how it turned out in the end. Not just because of what it does for my cute lil OC, but also because of the perspective it provides. Spyverse is such a large collection now, and I find so much happiness in the way the pieces fit together. Plus it leads so delightfully into Ridoc's solo story. Even if you don't ship them, I want each of them to add something to the big picture.

Ahhhh I know! I've said over and over again that Ivan's War Games chapter is somehow more sad than Violet's... despite the whole being stabbed thing. There is just something devastatingly haunting about Ivan wrestling with his own insecurities in such a visceral way... all while Riorgail are having a moment to themselves in front of an entire audience. It made me cry like a baby to write it!

i just wanna say you’ve kept my fourth wing obsession sustained over the last year or so which i am immensely grateful for🙏

i’ve just started the heist fic (i normally hate au fics that’re set in the real world but i am completely obsessed) and just wanted to ask how often you update it?

Aw thank you! I’m glad my fics could help 💜

How was it? I hope you had an amazing day! 🤍

Heyyy I have a question. I have been LOVING the hesit fic, but I found myself missing the spyverse and went to read my fav chapters - I was reading the chapter where Vi is almost dying after War Games and this paragraph came:

“As I listen to Ivan’s nerves turn to frustration, my heart cries out for him.

Xaden presses his lips together tightly, looking behind him at something for a moment, but Liam is the one who responds.”

So my question is: what was Xaden looking at? Was he looking at Garrick debating whether to ask him to distance-wield (and potentially expose his second signet) to save Violet? Or is just something else and I’m reading too much into it?

thank you! it was a nice, relaxing weekend and I even took today off work for self-care hahaha 💜

Heistfic updates are coming, but spyverse is always definitely in my periphery!

oh DEFINITELY, I have been in this Zutara shit for LIFE 🤭
