ONYX STORM SPOILERS:

what if the new venin "brother" is dain?? in xaden's pov chapter, he said it was someone that he never expected to turn. dain's basically the last person i (and probably xaden) would expect. think about it. he's such a rule follower. i think he turned to help someone (cough cough sloane) just like xaden helped violet in iron flame.

Liam

Liam had just reached the end of chapter 8 in the book he'd borrowed from Violet's shelf—part one of a romantasy series he hadn't read yet—when Violet stirred from her nap on the sofa.

"Hey, sleepy head," he teased her when she blinked her eyes open. "Back in the land of the living?"

Violet blinked some more, as if she needed to remember why Liam was in her flat. "Partially," she murmured, stretching. She yawned, then her eyes caught on the window, on the dim light of the setting sun, and she frowned. "How long have I been asleep?"

Liam shrugged. "For about two hours, I think?"

"Ah, shit," she muttered, blushing. "I'm sorry! You didn't need to just sit here and wait while I slept. Why didn't you wake me?"

"Because you clearly needed the rest," Liam said gently. Which was the simple truth. After having cried for basically the entire afternoon—switching between tears of joy and of despair—she'd clearly been exhausted. "Besides," he went on, grinning as he held up the book before placing it on the coffee table. "I absolutely didn't mind. You were right, this book is pretty good. Though I can't believe that one guy—I already forgot his name—died directly in the first chapter."

Violet gave him a sly—and somewhat pitying—smirk, but it didn't reach her eyes, and Liam got the hint. Usually, talking about books was one of their favourite things to do, but right now, her mind was clearly occupied otherwise. So Liam got up on his feet and walked over to the kitchenette to get them something to drink. "Also, I didn't just sit there and read, either." He informed her as he refilled the electric kettle. "I also ordered pizza which should be here any minute now. Do you want another tea until then?"

"Ah, you're a lifesaver!" Violet sighed, and Liam winked at her. "But I think I'd rather have a ginger ale," she added, her hand fluttering to her throat.

"Got it." Liam put the kettle back on its base and reached for a glass instead. Smiling to himself, he emptied the second of the six bottles they'd bought earlier on their way back here. Garrick would be happy knowing she was drinking enough.

Although… thinking about Garrick brought other, heavier thoughts back to the forefront of his mind.

He handed Violet the glass and, sitting back down in Rhiannon's loveseat, waited until she'd taken a few sips, then cleared his throat. "So… do you know how you want to tell Xaden by now?"

In an instant, Violet's relaxed expression tightened and her shoulders slumped. "No," she murmured, and she tightly clutched at her glass, as if it was a lifeline.

Liam sighed. "I get that it's not easy," he said, calm but intently. "But he has to know. He deserves to know. Besides, not hearing from you all day yesterday fucked him up pretty badly. And no matter how he reacts, at least you'll know then."

If possible, Violet became even smaller where she sat on the sofa. "I know," she whispered. "It's just…" She swallowed, fidgeting in her seat a little. "Even ignoring how I assured him he wouldn't need to worry about a pregnancy, it's just so horribly ironic, you know? On our first real date, we already talked about whether we'd want children one day. And agreed that that had to stay a question for the future because it wouldn't fit into either of our lives right now. And why did it have to happen now? I mean, not that I'd want to have Halden's child instead, but…"

Liam's jaw tightened at that name, even as the thought of Tauri's swimmers apparently not swimming all that well brought him a certain amount of satisfaction.

But that wasn't really of any importance, not now and not ever.

"Yeah, Xaden is certainly the better option there," Liam laughed, though with no real humour in it. Knowing how Xaden felt about the whole topic… Yeah, he understood her reluctance. "But still. You should tell him, and isn't that why you asked me to pick you up instead of Sawyer? Because you know he'll eventually wonder where I am and that I'm not going to lie to him? Either way, he's going to learn about it all soon. Unless there’s nothing to tell because you're already set on getting an abortion…?" Violet flinched, barely visible, but it was there. Which told him enough. "Yeah, that's what I thought."

But Violet shook her head. "It's not that I want to keep it. But it's just the same as before. I feel like getting rid of it is the only option I have, and I just… I want to at least think about it. To have that choice. But I know even just bringing it up might cost me Xaden, so I…"

The doorbell rang, and they both looked up.

"That's got to be our pizzas," Liam said, looking back at Violet with a thoughtful expression. "Look, I don't think Xaden is going to be as unreasonable as you fear. So, how about a little ultimatum? You have until we've eaten, then you'll tell him. Or at least call him to meet with you. Either way, he learns about it today. Okay?" Standing up, he gave her a stern look, waiting for her answer.

Violet flinched, even as her expression turned a little more determined. Then she gave him a small nod, and Liam allowed himself a little smile. Violet's mind always worked best with a deadline, and fuck if he didn't know that all too well.

"It's not that I don't want to tell him, though," she said as Liam went to open the door. "Because you’re right, he has to know. I just don't know how to tell him. How can I even bring it up after all that shit he had to endure with Cat?" Liam grimaced as he reached for the door handle. She had a point there… "So how am I supposed to tell Xaden that I'm pregnant? He'd never forgive me."

Liam grimaced as the door swung open—and then froze when he found Xaden standing in front of it instead of the delivery guy. His eyes were unfocused, his face drained of blood.

"Ah, shit," Liam muttered, his eyes widening as he realised what Xaden must have overheard just now. Because, yes, he’d had to learn about Violet's condition—but not like this.

For a second or three, they just stared at each other, Liam's expression turning tight as he waited to see how Xaden would react.

At first, he didn't react at all, though. Then his breathing grew deeper, harsher, as if he wasn't getting enough air, and he shook his head. Slowly at first, then quicker. He stumbled a step backwards, away from Liam, from the door—before he turned and walked away.

Well, fuck!

"Xaden, wait!" Liam called. He tried to grab Xaden's arm, to make him stop, but Xaden evaded him easily, glaring at him in a way he'd never done before. Shit, shit, shit!

"Xaden?" came Violet's voice from inside the flat, loud and clear but also high and shrill. Panicking. "He's here?"

Fuck, this was getting worse with every second. As if she wasn't already anxious enough.

Xaden had stopped as if he’d hit a wall at hearing her voice, though, so there was at least that. But then his hands curled into fists at his sides, and before Liam could react, Xaden had turned again and was stalking straight past Liam—and through the door into Violet's flat.

Cursing, Liam hurried after him. Not that he was worried Xaden might harm her, but—

"You're pregnant?" Xaden's loud exclamation didn't sound angry, not really. But it was still far from being excited, either.

Yep, that was what Liam had been worried about. Knowing both Xaden and Violet and their tempers, there was so much that could go wrong here.

When Liam made it back into the living room, he found Xaden standing at the end of the couch, his fingers digging into the cushioned backrest—as if to hold himself back—while Violet had scooted further away from him, her face pale as she stared at him and her blanket from before still wrapped around her legs.

"Why are you bleeding?" Violet's voice sounded alarmed, though in an entirely different way than before.

Xaden grimaced, letting out something between a growl and a scoff. "Garrick hit me," he said through gritted teeth. "What do you mean you're pregnant?"

"Why did Garrick hit you?" Violet blanched, and if the situation had been different, Liam might have chuckled. It was such a Violet thing to notice and focus on something so entirely irrelevant when she wanted to avoid something. Although… Glancing at Xaden's face and the split lip that was just in the process of swelling up, he had to admit that it was a good question. There certainly was another story to tell. Later.

"Oh, for fuck's sake!" Xaden snarled. "HOW CAN YOU BE PREGNANT?"

And that was it. Liam had enough. "That's enough, Xaden!" he growled, dread and anger tightening in his chest. Violet had asked for his support, and right now, she needed it more than ever.

Without taking his eyes off Xaden, glaring at him, Liam stepped around him and, with his arms crossed, took his stance between them. "Enough."

. o O o .

Xaden

Xaden's mind was a mess. His shout was still echoing through the room, ringing in his ears, but it barely registered, because there was a whirlwind of emotions that all blended together until he couldn't think straight anymore.

Shock. Surprise. Betrayal. Fury. Elation. Disbelief. Wonder. Pain.

Nothing made sense anymore.

Violet was pregnant? How? Had she lied to him? Had she worked with Cat all along? Had it all been nothing but a ruse? But he believed her, still did. And she'd cried out there in the gardens with Cat. What was going on?

"That's enough, Xaden!"

Enough? Yeah, it was enough. Too much, in fact. His head was spinning, all thoughts flickering over one another, in shambles.

"Enough."

Breathing shakily, Xaden's gaze focused on Liam. Liam, who'd always been his pillar of strength, solid as a rock. Liam, who'd supported him through all ups and downs in his life.

Liam, who… stood in front of Violet as if to defend her. From him.

Forcing himself to take a deep breath, Xaden tried to reign in his racing mind. None of this made sense. But one thing he knew for sure. If Liam was on Violet's side, then she hadn't tried to trick him.

For a moment, his fingers dug deeper into the sofa's backrest before he forced his grip to loosen up. "I don't understand," he said, his voice weak, brittle even, as his eyes wandered back to Violet. Fuck, he had to get himself under control again. "How can you be pregnant?"

Violet was staring at him with wide eyes, her lips trembling. Shit, he'd fucked up. Again!

Swallowing hard, Xaden let go of the sofa and instead walked around it. Liam took half a step to stand in his way, giving Xaden another warning look, but that wasn't necessary. Xaden knew not to screw up even more. So he gave Liam a small nod, and after another heartbeat of silent communication, Liam let him pass.

It was eerily silent in the flat as Xaden crouched down in front of where Violet cowered on the sofa. Her eyes were glassy as she gazed at him, as if her tears were just about to spill over, and the sight made something inside him crack and crumble. Never again, he vowed to himself. Never again would he allow himself to be the cause for her tears.

"I'm sorry," he said, his voice hoarse. He reached for her hand, slowly, gently, and let out a relieved sigh when she didn't pull away. "What happened?"

Violet gazed at him with her lips trembling, and Xaden counted to five in his head before she closed her eyes and silent tears ran down her cheeks. So much for that vow… But before Xaden could draw back and give her space, she opened her eyes again, her gaze a little softer, and her fingers tightened around his.

He couldn’t remember when a touch had ever felt so good.

. o O o .

AN: A rather short one... But at least there was a bit progress and they're at a far better place than before? 😅

[jurassicworldisbetter]

it took me almost 2 weeks to finally give in a read it.

Omg this was an amazing read, (one of ur best even) but the way you wrote Imogen's inner thoughts wrecked me. I know so many people struggle like this every day, and I think this fic brought some much-needed light to that (even if it was fictional). I've seen many fics like this in the past, but this was the most well-written (it felt at times that I literally was imogen's thoughts and that is a very powerful thing, please keep writing, ur so good at it). Also the happy ending was great.

Sry for the rant just wanted to put this out there.

How's One To Know I'd Meet You Where the Spirit Meets the Bones

...well guys. This exists now. It is dark, trigger warnings in tags do apply broadly here. It's sad but there is a happy ending. It all ends up okay but there are definitely mentions and allusions to the darker topics in the tags (not in the main post here so people can filter <3)

Imrrick fic :D

Summary:

She is cleaved from the very depth of her soul, grown from the place where love and body meet to create something so distinctly, uniquely her. There is nothing in the world Imogen wouldn’t give for her, she’s sure of that much. She’d go through all of it again,– every single moment–if it meant in the end she had her.
