Summary
Aemma has spent her life fighting to survive... but survival has never been enough. Haunted by loss and driven by questions about who she truly is, she’s carved out a prominent place among dragon riders through sheer grit, instinct, and an unrelenting will to belong.
Now, in the aftermath of finding out about the dark truths lurking behind the wards, Aemma is thrust deeper into a war she barely understands, surrounded by allies who don't fully trust her and truths threatens to unravel everything she thought she knew.
As the lines between truth and deception blur, Aemma will have to decide who she is without the past defining her and whether she’s strong enough to claim a future that she isn't sure was ever meant to truly be hers.

Summary
Basgiath cadet Fenryn Zynd can mend in a way no one else can - by transferring the injuries sustained by riders (and their dragons) onto/into her own body before mending herself.
She's hidden in plain sight until her dragon flies her straight to the Battle of Resson. Unable to allow Liam to die, she intervenes. After saving Liam by mending Deigh, she's thrust into the world of the Revolution while uncovering the secrets of her own past and coming to terms with the power of her signet.
The story follows Fenryn from the Battle of Resson at the end of Fourth Wing, following Iron Flame and soon Onyx Storm (so contains multiple spoilers!).
Has a mild why choose arc with Bodhi and Liam, but main love story is slow burn.
Iron Flame ends at chapter 70. Chapter 71 onwards is Onyx Storm.

Summary
"I remember the darkness. It was only supposed to be for a moment, just a small break. A short nap in between jobs. Nothing more. Just a second. The pain came seconds later. It was everywhere, all encompassing. Then, nothing else. Just darkness. It was like swimming through oil. Before I woke up, it was all just darkness. When I did, I was somewhere else and someone else entirely."
Death was supposed to be the end. The end of her and her rest. She believed that. At least partially.
And not unlike before, she really couldn't seem to die. But unlike before, her survival was not her choice. This was out of her hands. Now... Sierra Logan was not Sierra Logan. She was supposed to be Anika Durran because she was in the girl's body. In another world that was... too entirely familiar.
She didn't expect to die. She didn't expect to be forced into someone else' body. She didn't expect to form connections like the ones she forged. She wanted to go home, but if she couldn't then she would survive until her final breath.

Summary
Saoirse “Shay” Quinn is a brilliant, secretive SHIELD engineer whose quiet life of blueprints, wards, and late-night equations ends the moment Maria Hill shows up on her doorstep at 3 a.m. Loki has arrived on Earth, and SHIELD needs the mind behind the Helicarrier and the Quinjet on deck now.
Dragged into a world of gods, betrayals, and impossible physics, Shay finds herself working alongside Bruce Banner, crossing verbal swords with Tony Stark, and standing far too close to Captain America—a man whose gentle hands and soft-spoken encouragement unsettle her more than any alien threat. Their connection sparks in the spaces between system checks and training drills… a feeling she refuses to name.
But Shay carries a secret even SHIELD couldn’t fully catalogue: magic in her bones, kinetic shimmer under her skin, and nightmares she can’t outrun. As she’s pulled deeper into SHIELD, and closer to a certain super soldier, her powers, her past, and her heart threaten to break open in ways she never prepared for.
Set between Avengers and Winter Soldier.

Summary
You weren't an Avenger. You weren't. You trained people to be Avengers, but you weren't one. Allowing people to learn to control their powers had given you purpose after experiencing trauma that no person should ever experience. When it comes down to it, though, you had to save everyone. And in the process, you unwillingly announced your existence to both your enemies and the Avengers. They both want to use you for your powers, afraid of what will happen if the other side gets you first. Can you trust the Avengers to have the right motives and help protect you from your enemies, who would do anything to get back the asset they lost? Or are the Avengers using you, too, wanting to keep you on a leash as their personal weapon? Figuring out who to trust when your entire past is haunted memories leaves you confused and desperate to figure out what you want from life and how you are going to achieve it. On the journey to just that, maybe friends, and even love, could guide you to your answer.
After a storm causes you to expose your power, the Avengers want you to join them.
