Chapter 27 Xaden POV Fourth Wing Favorite Quotes

“Shit like that is why I keep my inconvenient feelings about Violet to my damned self, no matter how good she looks today or how delectable she smells sitting next to me, like some kind of citrus that makes me want to bury my face in the side of her neck and see just how pink I can get her cheeks to flush. No, if I did that, every rider in this room would look at her differently, and not in a good way. Leave it to me to fall for the one woman on the Continent I can never fucking have.”

“Still, I'd put myself right between her and Liam, ignoring his knowing little smirk, when I took the chair closest to Violet. There's nothing going on there, but he can back the fuck up when I'm around.”

“My mind runs through three other battle strategies, then stutters on a fourth as I glance in Violet's direction and catch her lips pursing in concentration. Gods, that mouth. I dream about that mouth. Fantasize about that mouth. That kiss is burned into my memory like a relic, taunting me with what will never happen again, with what I never should have tasted in the first place.”

“My chest tightens annoyingly. Whatever look Violet shot her sister, it was obviously in our defense, and damn if that doesn't hit me straight between the ribs.”

The wispy silver bond solidifies, an emotion - pride —dancing down the pathway even though Violet doesn't move a muscle. Holy shit, we really are connected. This could be —

"Dangerous? Reckless? An unaffordable distraction?" Sgaeyl snaps, and I swear I hear her teeth clash.

"Fun." There's no denying the bond between us when it's shining at me like a fucking mage light. "We can pretend I'm not here, just for the sake of the exercise." I put my figurine on the table and settle in my chair, then wrap my arm around the back of Violet's seat and enjoy the sight of Dain grinding his teeth. "Give Aetos here the position we all know he craves." His jaw flexes, and I leave my arm planted like a battle marker. The command, he can have. I'm mildly curious to see what he does with it. But that's the only position I'm ceding to the spoiled whiner.

"Don't be a dick," Violet whispers.

"You haven't even seen me start to be a dick." I send the words down the bond.

Her head whips toward mine, her lips parting as she openly gawks at me.

It worked. My heart stumbles, and I bite back a laugh. I was wrong.

This isn't just fun, it's instantly vital to my existence. I turn toward her, letting a corner of my mouth rise, and look straight into those hypnotic hazel eyes. "You're staring. It's going to get awkward in about thirty seconds if you don't stop."

"How?" She spits out the whisper like an accusation.

"The same way you talk to Sgaeyl. We're all gloriously, annoyingly linked.

This is just one of the perks. Though I'm starting to wish I'd tried it sooner.

The look on your face is priceless." I wink and turn my attention back to the seething pot of jealousy boiling over across the table.

"You're. The. Wingleader." Dain chokes out the words, and I can't help but wonder if he's submitting to my rank or accusing me of inappropriate behavior with a subordinate.

Not that I give a fuck either way. If it were safe for Violet, I'd be ecstatically guilty of inappropriate behavior. Wickedly inappropriate. In my bed. In hers. On a table in the Archives. In the bathing chamber and every room with a door to lock so no one else can see what's mine. I'd be so decadently inappropriate that her voice would turn hoarse from screaming my name every single day.

But though she'd be the best thing that ever happened to me, I'd be the worst thing that ever happened to her. The truth of it sinks like a stone in my stomach.

"Why are you even here?" Dain whines. "No offense, sir, but we weren't exactly expecting senior leadership on this trip."

"Yes, why are you here?" Sgaeyl doesn't disguise the mockery in her tone.

"You're more than aware that Sgaeyl and Tairn are mated." My voice stays respectfully level. "It was your idea to bring the daggers." I'm careful to only speak down Sgaeyl's bond.

"It seemed a prudent course of action, considering your insufferable intolerance to being separated from the general's daughter." She huffs.

"Three days?" Dain fires back, leaning in. "You couldn't make it three days?"

"Insufferable? That's a bit far."

"Where's Violet now?'" she mocks. "What is she doing? Is she thinking of me? Is she missing me? Is she getting closer to Aetos? Does she dream about that kiss? How many days until Violet's -'"

"Point fucking taken." She's going to be unbearable on the flight home.

"It has nothing to do with him." Violet slams her dragon figurine on the table. "That's up to Tairn and Sgaeyl."

And there she goes again, defending me. Fuck, I love this woman.

"You never considered that it was you I couldn't stay away from?" I ask her. She jabs the point of her elbow into my biceps, and I fight the upward curve of my mouth. I love that she isn't scared of me, that she'll call me out in a way no one else besides Sgaeyl does. Everything she does - even blatantly elbowing me in front of her squad —turns me on. I'm fucked on every level known to man when it comes to Violet Sorrengail. "Now, now, you’ll give our litte communication secret away if you can' keep from being so….violent”

Of course you rush to defend him," Dain whines yet again. "Though how you can forget that this guy wanted to kill you six months ago is beyond me."

He's not lying, but that was when i hated the idea of her, before I knew her -loved her.

Violet stiffens. "I cannot believe you went there."

The hurt in her tone sets my teeth on edge. "Good job remaining professional, Actos." I scratch the relic on my neck to remind him exactly who the fuck I am. "Really shows those leadership qualities to their best advantage."

A rider stationed here whistles. "Do you boys just want to whip it out and measure? It would be faster."

Liam stifles what's obviously a laugh, and I shoot him a sideways look.

"You want to do your job?" Violet's smile practically drips venomous sugar as she turns it on Dain. "I mean, how you can forget you're the squad leader is beyond me."

Fucking love her.

Panic skitters down the silver bond.

"Relax. I's just me." I crook a finger, and a strand of shadow solidifies to skim along Violet's cheek.

"Fuck me," a rider to the left says.

"I can surround this entire outpost, but I think that might freak some people out." I close my hands, and the shadows jolt back to their natural state, letting light pour in through the windows. Damn, that was fun. It was even worth the threat assessment I'm getting from Mira. Violet tenses like she spotted it, too. "I hope you didn't get any ideas while we were in the dark there."

She lifts her middle finger without even looking my way, and a laugh sneaks past my lips as Mira leads us through the rest of the exercise.

"Wasn't my choice." I shrug. Lying is easy, except when it comes to Violet. I haven't quite figured that one out yet.

The truth of the words stings. I might be accomplishing a very risky run, but Sgaeyl is right. We're here because I couldn’t concentrate for shit knowing that Violet was this close to the border. I chose Violet over my wing.

"And next year? When you're a brand-new lieutenant? What shit is she going to miss out on then?" Mira asks.

Yeah, fuck if I know. At this rate, they'll have to station me at Basgiath if I can't get my shit under control and get over —

"Love isn't something you get over," Sgaeyl reminds me. "Why do you think I flew you all the way out here?"

"To mock me while cavorting with your mate."

"I didn't say it was without its perks."

Fuck. What are the rules when it comes to interfering with sisters? Am I supposed to step in? Let Violet handle it? Lewellen let Liam and me beat the shit out of each other when we fought, but I'm not sure that's the right approach here. I'm also not about to infantilize Violet when her sister is doing a damned good job of it herself.

The way she's made? She's fucking perfect. Everything about her is what makes her... Violet.

Or so help me, Dunne, I will throw her over my damned shoulder right in front of everyone.

That approaching drift- and whoever is responsible for compromising the power supply tor the wards - will kill her if given the chance, and that's not something id ever let happen.

"Approaching," Sgaeyl informs me.

But damn, her courage has me tripping over my feelings for her.

"Not fast enough."

Violet isn't going to leave of her own accord; I can see it in her eyes, feel it in the tense lines of her back. I drop my shields, and her emotions hurtle down the bond. Determination. Fear-

She's going to bolt.

And there's only one way to stop her. I lift my hands from her waist to the velvet-soft skin of her cheeks, memorizing every color in her eyes as I cup the back of her neck, preparing to commit what she'll think is an unforgivable sin.

I kiss her. It's hard and raw, wild and desperate, and the way she opens for me, kissing me back with abandon, nearly takes me out at the knees.

Gods, I'll never get enough of this woman. Her mind. Her tenacity. Her mouth.

I kiss her like this might be the last time she'll let me, like this is an alternate reality and there's a chance she could love me back.

I kiss her like she's mine.

It's a stolen moment —it can never be anything more —but it's ours.

Wingbeats approach, and I ignore them, stroking my tongue against hers again and again, keeping my hands at the nape of her neck by sheer force of will, denying the urge to explore every curve, every hollow of her tight body. I've never wanted anyone the way I want her, never craved a woman's laugh as much as her touch or needed her trust more than my next breath. Only Violet.

I tear my mouth away, the steady pulses of wings undeniable as Tairn and Sgaeyl approach. Wind gusts, catching the loosened strands of her hair as I lean my forehead against hers. "Leave for me, Violet."

She stiffens, accusation filling her eyes so quickly that I know she's figured out that I just used our attraction to distract her. "I will hate you for this." Ouch.

"Yeah." I nod, accepting the consequences of my actions. "I can live With that." I can live with anything as long as she's still breathing, so I drop my hands to her arms and force them out at her sides, "Arms up. Hold tight."

"Fuck. You." She hisses out the words as a shadow falls over us, and I hit the floor, catching myself with my hands as a black claw fills the space I just occupied, hooking Violet's arms and snatching her into the sky.

"She'll never forgive me," I tell Sgaeyl as she lands on the narrow perch ahead of me. "Especially if something happens to her sister."

She tilts her head, staring at me with typical impatience as I launch to my feet and sprint down the rampart toward her. We're airborne in seconds, her wings pummeling the air before I even reach the seat. "If she can't forgive you for the least of your transgressions, then she doesn't deserve you."

"I don't think she'll see it that way." I get a good grip on her scales and settle in for the flight.

"Then you'd better start praying to your gods that her sister survives."

So pretty much the whole chapter 😍 Rebecca just pull a “Midnight Sun” already. I’m dying over here 🥹

ACOWAR Thoughts

I NEED a Lucien POV at least from the beginning of ACOWAR to the Dinner Table Scene in Chapter 17&18.

Like his whole world has been turned upside down.

I’m living for the whole Feyre/Lucien friendship (have since ACOTAR) at first I felt like he was like a brother she never had. And I still feel that way to an extent but now more like they make great besties.

So I haven’t finished the series so don’t @ me 😝 I know that he’s mated to her sister Elain and that it gets complicated…..

We all know the wonderful parts in the first half of the book: he hid her ring before Tam found it. He kneeled before her during Ianthe’s morning ritual, he helps her off her horse, he tells her she’s a better friend than he is, he’s completely honest and upfront with her about what when on when she was gone when they share a tent and comforts her during her fake nightmare *swoon.* when he captures the trout with his bare hands and puts his cape over her while she sleeps.

But I just want to mention my other favorite part about them conspiring to track the Bogge to terrorize the twins. Like can you just imagine the high five they share and the laughing at the trouble they’ve made. They make such a great team together especially dealing with living in Tam’s court. It’s cute.

Fourth Wing & Iron Flame Thoughts

I just reread FW and realized that Mira asked Xaden to help Violet find a way for her to keep her seat

And then he makes her the saddle *swoon* he did it because her sister asked him to so she’d trust him 🥰

I-don’t-fuck-first-years Riorson who then ends up giving a first year his flight jacket after he fucks her……well I guess that’s another carefully crafted controlled rule Violet breaks lol

“Mom and Dad are fighting and everyone knows” ☠️🤣

Poor Xaden needs a goddamn break, what a terrible awful horrible character story arc for him but you know what I CANNOT wait for Onyx Storm, it’s going to be so fucking good ⛈️ 🖤 January 2025 can’t come soon enough!

My Brother, Ladies and Gentlemen 😝🍻

[nessagigglebox]

I remember the first time I heard Taylor Swift on the radio. I was on a road trip with my besties to Maine after our high school graduation in 2007. I immediately found out who she was when I got home, even though I wasn’t a “country” fan i loved her instantly.

She spoke to me. Her songs created a story, the same story I was going through. Every single song I could relate to. Every single song fit in my life.

Her first lyrics I remember really hitting me was:

“I don't know what I want, so don't ask me ‘Cause I'm still trying to figure it out. I'm alone, on my own And that's all I know, I'll be strong, I'll be wrong Oh, but life goes on Oh, I'm just a girl, Trying to find a place in this world”

I was 18 years old. This hit home.

As the years went on, I remember thinking how cool she was getting to sing a song about an ex boyfriend who did her wrong and it being heard all over the radio for him to hear 👏 how cool would that be?! Sure, other artists have been doing that for a millennium, but Taylor name dropped. How brave! For a girl her age who felt what she felt, who understood what she understood. That meant something to me.

The years went on being a fan:

Forward to 2012, I started a new job working in a NICU. That’s when I met Nicole @foreverandalways1229 We became fast friends even Planning our weddings at the same time. We bonded over being a fan of Taylor Swift. We shared gossip blogs, pictures, music, anything we could get our hands on. She’s been going to concerts before me, but I got to accompany her to the Reputation Tour together

It was a blast! I had been waiting years to go! I told her that next album I would splurge on floor seats because I wanted more!!!

Her husband bought tickets for them on Valentine’s Day

“This is what I woke up to!! This is one of the few times I have been rendered speechless in our marriage! I literally fell to my knees crying over how excited I am to be able to go to this concert two nights in a row!! My husband gets me and he is simply the best! I love you boo boo!!! ❤️ #besthusbandever #reputationtour @taylorswift @catamountman”

She went all 3 nights at Gillette stadium.

She even got to meet Andrea Swift!

Nicole has been the biggest Taylor Swift fan I have ever known! She made sure we got amazing seats, and planned out an amazing girls trip. We stayed at an Airbnb in Warwick Rhode Island and made sure we went to the beach where we could see Taylor’s gorgeous beach mansion.

This is at her baby shower, I bought this onesie for her baby girl.

Of course she loved it!

We are over the moon excited for this new album! I know it’s her Dream to met Taylor someday and I hope I’m there when she does! Here’s to holding on to the memories, shaking it off, beginning again, never growing up, having the time of our lives, dancing in our best dress, finding our place in the world and screaming our hearts out to a Taylor Swift song. 😘😍❤️

    Hi, i'm a virgo and it seems like i attract cancer men? Can virgos and cancer really get along in a relationship?

paranoidkitten

yeah, it’s pretty common for Virgos to attract Cancer and vice versa. For the most part, they are great couples. The only thing really is for Virgo to open up more and communicate more…. and for Cancer to understand that a Virgo’s thoughts are as complicated as a Cancer’s emotions.

Virgo is known as The Helper. Intelligent with a sharp memory, you are like Pocahontas. You are a bit of a perfectionist with lots of passion and focus. Flora from 'Sleeping Beauty' is also a comparable Virgo.

Love Story by Taylor Swift

We were both young when I first saw you. I close my eyes and the flashback starts: I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air. See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns. See you make your way through the crowd And say, "Hello," Little did I know... That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles, And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet" And I was crying on the staircase Begging you, "Please don't go" And I said... Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone. I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run. You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess, It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes". So I sneak out to the garden to see you. We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew So close your eyes... escape this town for a little while. Oh, oh. 'cause you were Romeo - I was a scarlet letter, And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet" But you were everything to me, I was begging you, "Please don't go" And I said... Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone. I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run. You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess. It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes". Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel. This love is difficult but it's real. Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess. It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes". Oh, oh. I got tired of waiting Wondering if you were ever coming around. My faith in you was fading When I met you on the outskirts of town. And I said... Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone. I keep waiting for you but you never come. Is this in my head? I don't know what to think. He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said... Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone. I love you, and that's all I really know. I talked to your dad ‒ go pick out a white dress It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes". Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. 'cause we were both young when I first saw you

My Engagement

So Ryan and I decided that we didn't want to live without eachother, we knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives with eachother. He knew I wanted to pick out my own ring. I think heart diamonds are tacky in engagement rings but it definitly fit me. So i figured that since I wanted a heart diamond that we should get a claddagh ring. Larissa Cahill had one and I thought it would fit Ryan and I since Patterson is irish. Its an irish hertiage ring meaning love, friendship and loyalty. so i picked a claddagh out. we picked an amethyst, because my favorite color is purple but that we would have to get the ring worked on to be able to put a diamond in it. gemvara the place we got the ring didn't come with diamond claddagh rings :-( after that we made arangments for me to come home. He was gonna fly to california and we would spend the weekend here and then drive back across the country together. I did not know when he was going to propose. He told me he was flying in friday night but he actually flew in much earlier got dropped off at my house and called me. He got down on one knee and said janessa you've made me happy for so long but thats not enough for me i wanna be happy with you forever janessa will you marry me and i said yes. :-) He had told me the ring wouldn't be ready on time and katie told me i had to be at the house at noon time because someone was looking at my room. sneaky sneaky. lol i had no idea :-)

so yes ryan's status I would fly 3,000 miles and I would drive 3,000 more to be the man who traveled 6,000 miles to have you back at my door. is true!

 It was a proposal right out of a modern day fairytale book, just like I had always wanted!

Knowing I cannot live a day without this man. He is everything I dreamed of my knight in shinning armor. I have found my other half my missing puzzle piece.:-)

Finally understanding what true love means<3

Janessa & Ryan Facebook Posts CA to NH

October 1st 2012

Started our drive to san francisco to see the golden gate bridge. Day one of drive back across the country!:-) — with Ryan at Golden Gate Bridge.

"California here we come. Driving down the 101. Gotta get us to the shore. Listen to the radio as we go. Driving in the sun."

Arrived safely in San Francisco. The Golden Gate Bridge and Route 1 were BEAUTIFUL! I loved the houses built into the hills here and the trolly system was really neat. Got dinner at the In and Out Burger which was HILARIOUSLY FUN! We were delayed by about two hours, but the drive went without issue. Headed for Salt Lake City tomorrow! — with Janessa at Golden Gate Bridge.

October 2nd 2012

Another 714 miles and 11.5 hours of driving down. Drove from San Francisco to Salt Lake City today! No problems at all except for a giant wall of bugs when night time hit in SLC. Our windshield was ENTIRELY caked with bugs. Tomorrow we're headed for Lexington, Nebraska! — with Janessa in Salt Lake City, UT.

I said that it was weird I hadn't seen anyone get pulled over our whole trip yet and right after I said that I jinxed myself! Thank God I only got a warning it could have been much worse :-/ — in Lexington, NE.

Another 719 miles and 11 hours down today! Drove from Salt Lake City to Lexington, Nebraska. Nothing but flat states, tumbleweeds, and WIND! Janessa got a warning for going 7 over thanks to me.

 okay! so. after 6 days, 5 nights, a blown head gasket, going totally broke and driving a uhaul for 13 hrs straight though the deserts of utah, arizona, nevada, and some of cali. after seeing las vegas, the rocky mts, the st. louis arch, and all point in between no matter how flat and empty, we have finally arrive at our destination in Los angeles cali. i can now say i have driven across the country, and have enjoyed every grueling minute of it. all thanks to Janessa for funding the whole ordeal, keeping me going and actually going through with the dream.
