#garrick and xaden

[violentdelightshavevioletends]

“I’m not going to apologize for conducting Navarrian business while in Deverelli—” Halden starts.

“How about apologizing for keeping mission-essential information from those of us responsible for the fucking mission?” Xaden counters, stepping into Halden’s space, shadows swelling around his feet. “If it wasn’t for us, you’d be dead.”

Shit.

I glance over at Garrick, who looks back at me like I’m the one supposed to do something.

— Garrick essentially saying: Your his wife now. Welcome, I held the position for 3 years, it’s yours now! Go Xaden protection (even from himself) squad… we all need a nap & therapy!!

“Do we worry?” Rhi asks under her breath.

I catalog the anger in Xaden's eyes and shake my head. He's pissed, but he's him. Still, just in case, I watch the shadows, spotting the darkest one.

“I forbid it.” Halden strides into the hallway, followed by two guards.

He's here, too? Oh, this is bad.

“I don't give a fuck.”Xaden pivots so he can see both men.

“And boom, it's a show,” Ridoc whispers.

Damn I just finished re reading iron flame again

Still devastated

Still so fucking glad they are sleeping in bed together that’s the only thing I’m clinging on to right now.

Please recommend some fanfics of violet and Xaden 💜

And any Ridoc or Garrick ones would also be greatly appreciated

Garrick: For fuck’s sake, Riorson, that’s not how it works.

Dealing with my fear of rejection by never asking for anything, and my fear of being a burden by never doing anything that involves other people. Foolproof.

[incorrect-fourthwing]

Garrick: Uh-oh.

Xaden: What?

Garrick: I see an angry wife coming this way.

Xaden: Yours or mine?

Garrick: Does it matter?

Xaden: If it’s mine, there’s a chance we might live, but if it’s yours, we are dead.

The fact that Violet got fucked (literally), betrayed by her boyfriend, heartbroken over losing her friend, betrayed by her dragons, hurt AND poisoned all in the same day is wild. You guys complain she’s “annoying” but I think she’s not half as annoying as she could have been. Matter of fact she should’ve set Riorson House on fire as soon as she woke up and saw HER BROTHER was fucking alive. She took it too well all things considered

[kingdom-of-sins]

Violet: I just killed someone

Xaden: That my girl!

Sloane: I think I just killed someone

Dain: You know there is a long lecture coming about how killing is wrong but first tell me where the body is so we can take care of it before anyone finds out

Garrick: How many did you kill?

Imogen: 50

Garrick: Damn it! I am still at 30

[fryingpan1234567]

“would you slap your best friend for a million dollars?”

Sawyer: “I would slap Ridoc for free”

Ridoc: *tearing up* “I’m your best friend?”

Violet: “if you slap me and then I slap you we each get a million”

Rhiannon: “great thinking, fuck the system”

Garrick: “fucking FINALLY”

Xaden: “bold of you to assume you can even get close enough to my face to… what are you— Garrick— Garrick NO STOP TRYING TO HIT ME THAT WASN’T A CHALLENGE—”

Quinn: “no.”

Imogen: “for a MILLION? girl I’ll slap YOU if you don’t start acting right”

Liam: “I would never hit Violet.”

Vi: “what if it was during sparring?”

Liam: “well—”

Vi: “what if Xaden said you could?”

Liam: “he can’t give me permission to hit you??”

Vi: “what if you were being held at sword point”

Liam: “do I still get the million dollars?”

Vi: “yes.”

Liam: “still no!”

Vi: “WHY NOT?”

Liam: “DO YOU WANT ME TO HIT YOU??”

Vi: “IT’S A MILLION DOLLARS I JUST CAN’T FIGURE OUT WHY YOU WOULDN’T TAKE THAT OPPORTUNITY!”

bonus:

interviewer: “would you slap—”

Cat: “yes.”

interviewer: “I didn’t finish the—??”

Cat: “the answer is yes, I will slap anybody you put in front of me.”

interviewer: “…even Maren?”

Cat and Maren, at the same time: “yes”

Maren: “I’m still mad at you for that”

Cat: “you shouldn’t have tried to take my fucking strawberries??”

Xaden in Fourth Wing and Iron Flame: We should not trust Aetos he is bad news

Garrick: Okay

Xaden in Onyx Storm: I think we don’t put enough trust in Aetos

Garrick: Bitch you are the one who started it

Garrick teasing Xaden about his communication and relationship with violet is so cute.

I need at least one conversation of Xaden talking about it with him.

[aprill-99]

Xaden: “Okay everyone, safety briefing for this weekend.”

Xaden *to Ridoc and Bodhi*: “Do not add to the population.”

Xaden *to Imogen*: “Do not subtract from the population.”

Xaden *to Rhiannon, Sawyer, and Garrick in order*: “Do not end up in the newspaper, the hospital, or in jail.”

Xaden *to Violet*: “If you do end up in jail, establish dominance quickly.”

[bodhidurrans]

Garrick: *grabs panicked first year and points at Xaden* That’s our Duke of Tyrrendor. Stoic, terrifying, deadly and a damn good kisser in a crisis. We call him Honey Bear.

First year (sweating): I- uh.. yes, Lieutenant Tavis.

Garrick: *stares at first year expectantly*

First year (terrified): *nods at Xaden* Good morning.. uh- Honey bear.

Xaden: *death glare directed at Garrick* I hope the poison finishes the job next time.

[mysterylilycheeta]

*Everyone is playing Monopoly together* Violet: I want to buy this property, but I don't have enough money. Will the bank accept 10 kisses instead? Xaden: *As the bank* The bank will accept the offer Bodhi: This is not how the game wo- Garrick: And they're kissing Ridoc: EVERY TIME.

[dragonsandrinks]

Garrick and Xaden act like divorced co-parents of a rebellion and it’s genuinely hilarious

Xaden: We need to be subtle Garrick: Like last time? When you killed a man mid briefing? Xaden: He was a threat! Garrick: Dear, we can't keep assassinating everyone you don't vibe with
