Xaden be like:
Are u kidding me!!!!
scene is supposed to be about Xaden and the oranges but all I can think about is Ridoc and how he immediately noticed Jack using his powers, went to Vi, and got her to breathe I .
every day I wake up and mourn that which does not exist

Service Dog Johnny Part 7 (full part list here)
It was a bad one.
You’ve suspected it from the moment Simon walked through the door earlier that day, still wearing his mask and unable to really focus his eyes on your face through the fatigue. He was just going through the motions of being human, so you fed him and got him to bed as soon as you could.
And you know it for certain when he jerks awake hours later, those familiar tremors vibrating the bed until he’s able to push himself upright. Blindly he reaches out and finds your hip, and you’re just conscious enough to notice the way he instantly rips his hand off your body like you burned him.
you get a whole realm of new headcanons when you take the fact that xaden and vi canonically lose control of their signets when they have sex and apply that to everyone else
me trying to explain how there's a hozier song for every chapter of death of a sun and that this is the thesis of Vi's pov because the very act of knowing Liam and keeping him alive is breaking her in this essay I will—
yeah sex is cool but do you ever just spend hours on height comparison dot com inputting all your height headcanons orr
i commented on ao3 but i HAD to bother you here too DGHDFGH
“Because I knew that she was the one person, the only person, who was well and truly off limits. But, disastrously, I had fallen in love with her.”
you can hear me screaming in the distance. he’s so tortured and yearning and in love ohhhh i’m so obsessed. i love this so much heheheh. and the way he’s so relieved by finding her in the archives and the way he takes care of her… liam mairi is EVERYTHING
HI!! Your comments on ao3 give me life, I swear, they're nourishing.
Liam Mairi lives rent free in my head so of course in return I torture him with things he can never have and guilt him over his feelings. Men look so much better when they're pining and mildly obsessed. In my mind his duty to protect her is both an obstacle and an excuse to be closer to her.
The archives and healer!Liam were SO self-indulgent. I DIE for a good 'patching up' scene in any fic. There's something so soft and intimate about tending to another person's injuries.
But anyway, thank you for reading ily so much 👩❤️💋👩💕
Finished reading the chapter. My lungs feel like rocks rn. My heart is broken. An entire fic populated into my head as I stared at the wall processing the chapter. I will never recover.
There it was—an empty space by her side—the space I was meant to occupy. This space was reserved for me; her shadow, her guard. I needed to reach out to her, needed her next to me, immediately.
I don't even know where to start. As one does with time loop fics, I ponder the ramifications of changing the course of history by saving Liam.
He didn't die, therefore his life thread continues. He didn't die, therefore Sloan is not so wounded and bitter. He didn't die, therefore he developed feelings for Violet and she for him. (let's be real) He didn't die, therefore he and Ridoc were able to become friends in their mutual concern for Violet, and Ridoc is obviously quite happy to be in Liam's proximity. (who wouldn't)
He didn't die, and it changed everything.
He didn't die, and it changed him.
What are the differences between the life he could have had, versus the life Violet stole for him? She straight ripped him out of fate's hands, and how does that impact Liam as a person, though he has no conscious understanding of the act? Does it tie his soul to hers in a way that neither of them realize? Does his blood thrum with some divine need to balance the scales? Does dragon magic require a tit for tat? Is his love real, or is it just an illusion brought on by forces he has no understanding of?
Does it even matter? Can we not just settle into some ravenous urge that he feels to please and care for Violet, and just let it happen? She tried so hard to save her golden boy, twice, and doesn't she deserve a little worship?
Her time loop signet basically makes her a god in my opinion, and I love how you effortlessly write the draw she has, even Jack seems compulsive in his obsession with her. And it feels natural, though no one else understands why they sense her otherworldliness.
Anyways, this was THE BEST chapter I've read in a long time. You remain my favorite Fourth Wing writer. You inspire me.
I had to sit down and re-read this a couple times just to process everything but I'm dying. DYING. Over your take on the chapter.
He didn't die, therefore he developed feelings for Violet and she for him. (let's be real)
This here is so important to me. I needed the reason for Liam catching feelings to be related to her signet. Like all this would've never happened if Violet hadn't grown in some way.
Does it tie his soul to hers in a way that neither of them realize? Does his blood thrum with some divine need to balance the scales? Does dragon magic require a tit for tat? Is his love real, or is it just an illusion brought on by forces he has no understanding of?
On this, I wanted Liam's attaction to her to be incredibly un-divine. The juxtaposition between Vi/Xaden vs Vi/Liam is something I think about a lot. Like. In my mind, Violet and Xaden and bonded in life, in an almost 'fated' way. There's a forced proximity because of Tairn and Sgaeyl. But in this story, the Liam/Vi relationship only exists because Vi has literally fought for his life against all odds. So in a sense, Xaden/Vi exists because of some divine fate, but Liam/Vi exists in spite of fate.
So to hopefully answer your questions, Liam's realisation of his love for Vi is very much a result of the way she's changed because of the time loops. Because she learned to be understanding of secrets and the war, and because she learned to accept a bit of caretaking from him. I need their attraction to be real and romantic in a very un-magical way, forged through Violet's brute force, and existing only in the 0.000001% of alternate timelines.
Do I sound insane? Yes. Probably. This fic is driving me insane.
She tried so hard to save her golden boy, twice, and doesn't she deserve a little worship?
Seriously. And he!! Doesn't even!! Know!! I love a selfless tragedy.
Anyways, this was THE BEST chapter I've read in a long time.
Every time I think a chapter is about to be a flop, it's nice to know that at least one person out there enjoys it!! And this is a bit off-topic, but I can't believe how you slept on your latest Service Dog Johnny chapter, and talked about struggling with his characterisation, only to put out the best communication and care I've read in a smut fic in forever. The way you write dialogue and realism inspires me to step up my game 😤😤

Simon who knows about your trauma, who will take it upon himself to ask for a new table if there’s a dad berating his kids nearby, or a group of overly loud business men.
He claims he doesn’t like it any more than you do, though you don’t buy it for a second. He’s surrounded by men yelling every day at work — probably barely notices it, except for the way your muscles tense and your eyes go unfocused while you try to cope with the dread.
