Before Wings
OC x Fourth Wing
Master List
Fourth Wing has consumed my every thought, so now I'm writing this for fun and posting it here! If youâre reading, I hope you enjoy it! This story is set a year before the original book and follows my OC, Malia Tiarnes. Some characters may be a little out of character, as I'm writing them how they appear to me in the moment. Dive into her world as she navigates the chaos and magic of the cadet training program. Enjoy the ride! -mickmousey
At Basgiath War College, survival is earnedâone broken bone, one betrayal, one bonded dragon at a time. Seventeen-year-old Malia Tiarnes never expected to make it past the Parapet, let alone survive long enough to bond a dragon. But when she catches the eye of a deadly brown dagger-tail with a sharp tongue and even sharper expectations, Malia finds herself soaringâliterallyâinto a world thatâs more brutal, more magical, and more dangerous than she ever imagined. Sisciliareth Krovanic, her bonded dragon, isnât just a relic of Maliaâs family legacyâsheâs a force of nature with a fondness for sarcasm and a short temper for weakness. As Malia trains alongside other cadetsâincluding fiercely loyal friends, deadly rivals, and one infuriatingly hot squadmate she definitely shouldnât be sleeping withâshe begins manifesting something new. Something⌠impossible.  As secrets unravel and tensions rise within Basgiathâs brutal hierarchy, Malia must decide who to trust, who to love, and how far she's willing to go to protect the peopleâand the dragonâwhoâve become her family. Because in a world where loyalty kills and silence saves, one truth is certain: The bond can make you powerful. But it might also get you killed. Â
