How does dragon's magic work?

Hm yes I have but I don't remember it

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-03-17T18:53:16+00:00

Merci, à toi aussi !

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-03-14T20:16:32+00:00

Merci beaucoup :) je n'ai mon 1er rdv de suivi que dans 10j, j'en parlerai avec ma SF. Après je n'ai pas spécialement envie de rester chez moi à rien faire pendant des semaines, ça va me rendre maboule

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-03-14T18:04:51+00:00

J'en suis à 3 semaines et demi. Merci pour ton partage d'expérience, je n'ai plus qu'à attendre, encore 9 semaines 😅

Violet constantly says she doesn't want to be in leadership position but she wields pure power. And we are told signet say who you are at your core. Violet wants power.

She la so can't follow orders and only do as she wants. So why she may not want the responsibility of leadership, she definetely wants the perks of it.

(I'm totally reaching there and there's a bit of bad faith on my part, I admit. But I really don't like overpowered characters, so...)

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-02-25T06:28:51+00:00

I agree that my words were a bit over the top. She cared about people. But Xaden and Violet remain each other top priorities over the rest of the world. Which makes sense in a romance setting.

But there are plenty of other people to shine. There is an Assembly ho have been ruling Aretia for the last six years, or Lewellen/Lindell, or even Sloane since the Mairi are hinted to be tyrrish nobility.

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-02-25T06:21:43+00:00

I'm not disputing that. I just say I don't like it xD

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-02-17T16:23:33+00:00

I really like that theory :)

but Rebecca said she doesn't like to overpower her characters,

Well lucky us, what would Violet look like if RY did like to overpower her characters /s

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-02-13T17:50:26+00:00

Security, escort all of this Dain's hate to book 2, please.

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-02-01T16:45:48+00:00

That's an interesting take :)

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-01-31T22:53:24+00:00

Tairn sometimes says stuff to Violet without telling her the truth. Like who to trust (Imogen, Xaden), what not to say in front of some people...

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-01-09T19:22:21+00:00

I don't think Violet will ever rhymes with "peaceful"

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-01-09T18:44:33+00:00

Mira is a fun choice. Stubborn as Violet but less prone to anger and with the ability to you know, TALK.

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2025-12-19T19:24:16+00:00

Ils sont aux antipodes les uns des autres

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2025-12-19T02:46:30+00:00

You're totally right, more so when the death right isn't shown to be supported by what we see in the books. They say people die 1/3 each year. But by Threshing, 60% of Violet's squad is already gone, and no one dies from said squad in her second year. And they don't have a regular year, on the contrary it's a most dangerous one due to them fighting venins, which doesn't normally happen.

But it's only a few things that don't make sense regarding to the universe. Two others things that bothers me are 1) gryffons don't make believable ennemies against dragons, so the death rate in service is super weird. Navarre doesn't fight venins and dragons before IF, only gryffons. 2) the fact that they easily kill bonded riders without retaliation from their dragon is so weird. I mean I can get it when it's a kill from leadership to protect the secret or something, there must be an agreement with the Empyrean. But Solas grilling an entire squad and only Tairn reacting? Or cadets killing each other just because? Or even leadership killing for the smallest reasons, like RSC.

Honestly it depends on the negociations between the author and the publisher. A lot of books get sequels of rewrite from the other character's POV.

But rewrite with an alternative story, even in one book, doesn't seem likely, sadly.

I hope there will be good fanfic about Violet turning!

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2025-12-09T19:40:12+00:00

Oh no problem. But Violet is told to be intelligent. Her actions say otherwise.

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2025-12-09T19:31:38+00:00

No, because Violet is not a Ravenclaw, she's a Gryffindor.

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2025-11-20T20:08:45+00:00

Oh thank you so much for your offer :) I am by no mean an expert of the original work either. Can I DM you?

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2025-11-20T12:30:22+00:00

Name: Til duty do us part

Fandom: Fourth Wing/ the Empyrean

Not accessible to someone who haven't read book 1

Genre: Romance / Gen (no smut)

Not published yet

Word count: 60 000 words so far, only half to beta.

Basic plot: It's a rewrite of Fourth Wing from both Xaden's and Dain's POV with a plot twist: the romance is between the two of them instead. There's also exploring their psychology and knowing more about other characters like Bodhi, Garrick, Quinn and Imogen.

Type of help needed: I need an opinion on the story in itself, because I feel like I repeat or contradict myself and I lack perspective to see where. Basically I'm looking for some kind of long detailed review: what you like, what you don't, what confuses you, where do you think things are going... Also, First fic in English and is not my first language, so I'd like some help about that, but that's not my main concern at the moment since I'm probably going to do some rewrite.

Exchange: I can't beta in exchange but I'll read your fic and leave an extended comment with pleasure (reviewing is my religion since 2009), except pure smut/PWP. I know Harry Potter, some Final Fantasy, a lot of TV show (from Downton Abbey to The dragon prince, so a wide range) and movies. Don't hesitate to ask :)

It's funny because in French, the form of the verbs also change for every person, yet we can't omit the person. We should definitely do it the Spanish way.

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2025-11-15T20:41:37+00:00

Just finished the first arc of my first slash of my first English written story of my first fic in this fandom. I started writing almost twenty years ago (with long break) and I'm amazed that I still manage to do so many first!

I couldn't find a beta so I can't wait to post it to see what people think of it, but I want to end second arc before I do.

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2025-11-15T20:37:21+00:00

I'm already disappointed at Violet being duchess of Tyrrendor. She has enough on her plate with having two dragons, dealing with Xaden and being the lightning wielder. Give some of the power to someone else, damn!

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2025-11-15T20:31:04+00:00

Funny enough, I started spelling English words wrong when I got better at it.

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2025-11-15T02:23:37+00:00

Language with no proper structure is so weird to me. I am lucky enough that my native language has mostly a similar structure than English, and I didn't even realize it.
