Summary
"You would follow any order I gave you," he'd said, and Liam had murmured, unquestionably, Yes. “I can't– how can I be sure you aren't just going along–"
You would need to trust me, Liam hadn't said, because even if he had earned Xaden's trust and loyalty, Liam wasn't stupid enough to demand it openly. "I would never," he had sworn, over and over, "I know how important that is to you."
"I can't put you in that position, Liam," Xaden had said, his dark eyes full of pain and longing as he ran a trembling finger over Liam's lips. They had opened to let a soft puff of breath caress those calloused fingertips, tracing him with adoration, and then Xaden had pulled away.
---
During their fostering, Liam and Xaden try to sort out their feelings for each other. Birthday gift for Lydibug.

Summary
Once he leaves Tirvainne in the morning, every waking moment will need to be spent keeping himself alive, keeping any marked ones he can alive. Only in dreams – and in his weakest moments – will Xaden be allowed to think of Liam, to worry for Liam.
And that means a clean cut.
It has to be tonight. Xaden has been pushing this conversation, avoiding it. He despises the pain it will cause Liam, the pain it will cause him.
----
Two years before Liam and Violet cross the parapet, Xaden and Liam say goodbye to each other and their relationship, uncertain of whether they will live to see each other again.

Summary
"Liam–" Xaden begins, but barely gets the first sentence out before Liam interrupts him.
"I don't care. Xaden, I don't fucking care." Liam is breathless, so ruffled and far from the cheery composure Xaden is used to seeing that it might be a completely different person in front of him. This Liam is starved, desperate. "Shut up and kiss me."
-----
Xaden and Liam in the few stolen days they get after Xaden finishes his first year at Basgiath.

Summary
Catriona clings to his arm, sending a simpering smile his way, and Xaden thinks of Liam. Wishes the hand on his bicep was big and strong and warm, marred by small cuts where a whittling knife slipped. Cat's hands are rough with callouses as well, she's not the wilting flower she is trying to portray, but they're unwelcome.
-----

Summary
“And Catriona Cordella?”
Xaden sighs, pinches the root of his nose. “I don’t particularly want to speak of her when I’m in bed with you.”
“When, then?” Liam asks, turning in his arms so he’s facing away. “We can’t avoid it forever.”
--------

Summary
“I’ll always be on your side,” Xaden promises, skims his hand over Liam’s, resting on the window sill. It’s meant to be a comfort, an apology, but Liam pulls back as if he’s been burnt.
“It’ll have to be enough,” he whispers quietly to himself, barely more than a breath. “And I’ll be on yours. Whatever you need, Xaden, and I mean it.”
They exchange a quick glance, and Xaden feels like someone is choking all the air out of his lungs. So this is it, then.
------
During the spring of 633 AU, Xaden and Liam fall apart.

Summary
The solution is simple, and it’s staring Xaden straight in the face right now. Liam knows Xaden doesn’t want him risking his life for Xaden, but the equation is clear. There is no Xaden without Violet. And there is no Liam without Xaden, because he won’t survive that. So there is no Liam without Violet.
“Put me in her squad,” Liam breathes, and watches Xaden’s eyes widen in surprise. “I can be with her, every second of every day. We can train her. Earn her trust.”
“No, Liam–”
“It’s not your choice whether I risk my life for you or not. It’s mine. I love you, and I’m making it.”
-----
In which Liam and Violet cross the parapet and are placed in Xaden's wing for very different reasons. Slowly, the three of them tangle together in a balancing act of trust, secrets and love.

Summary
"Do you want me to?" Liam asks.
Xaden lifts his head, and Liam kisses him. Violet admires the sight of their mouths meeting gently, Liam's tongue teasing Xaden's mouth open. They kiss languidly, and that seems to be Xaden's answer, because Liam pulls back and smiles.
"Slow and nice today, huh, Xay?" he asks, and Xaden nods, closing his eyes in bliss as Liam rakes a hand through his hair. Violet tilts her head. Those two are speaking in their own language and she is trying to create a dictionary, so she observes them carefully, interested in the outcome. Violet loves puzzles and mysteries, and is always just as delighted when they give her clues to understanding them.
------
Violet is on her period, and Xaden and Liam are in the mood for something slow and intense. She doesn't mind watching.

Summary
Liam eyes her over dinner, and it’s clear from his gaze that Xaden has managed to inform him of this morning, perhaps about lunch, because his gaze is all at once appraising and heated.
“Rough day?” Liam teases as he joins her in the queue to dump their plates and cutlery for cleaning. Violet flushes, fights the urge to snap at him. It’s not his fault her hormones are raging. “Xaden told me.”
------
Violet is having… a day. Xaden and Liam are all too happy to play along.

Summary
“Oh, I’ll show you threatening,” Liam says, lunging for her and wrestling her down into the sheets. She goes willingly, tumbling with him and ending up splayed on her back, Liam a hot line of warm skin down her front. “Yield,” he teases, and Violet wants him to stop teasing, to press down hard, to turn this playful mood into something darker.
“Make me,” she challenges, and cants her hips up in response, the move provocative. Liam blinks above her.
“Oh,” he says, a slow smile spreading over his face. “Is that how it is?”
------
It's a slow morning in Riorson House. Violet, Liam and Xaden take full advantage of the time.

Summary
"Now, which of us is desperate, sweet girl?" Xaden asks from the other side of the desk, his tone amused. "I think it's you. So if you want me, come here and have me."
He spreads his arms out in an offer, indicating that his lap is empty and available. Well, that's an offer she can't refuse, but also one that sounds too good to be true. The smirk on Xaden's face doesn't promise capitulation. No, it hints at a battle she's completely unprepared for.
But she can at least fight.
-----
Liam is on duty, but Xaden has ample time to play with Violet. And there’s plans in the making that she’s not aware of… Or, the one tagged for six different “Inappropriate Use of xxxx Signet (Empyrean)”.

Summary
When Violet stumbles into the room after classes, Liam is sitting in her desk chair. He’s leaning back, effortlessly beautiful and taking up the space like it’s his, like he sits there to do homework each day. To be fair, on some days he does. She just wasn’t expecting him to sit there today.
"Liam?" Violet inquires in mild surprise. She ventures carefully closer, dropping her pack and closing the door, shielding the world out until it's just the two of them. The look on his face makes her pulse skitter, her heartbeat picking up. It promises retribution.
"Don't pretend like you don't know what this is about."
-------
Xaden isn't home, and it's up to Liam to punish Violet when she needs it.

Summary
She loves Xaden a little extra today for immediately connecting the dots when she was cranky and annoyed while training this morning, for grabbing her arm in a vice grip and studying her face before leaning in, promising her punishment tonight if she just made it through the day first. It's what kept her sane when she felt like her control was slipping, when lightning crackled in her fingertips.
Violet doesn't have to do a single thing now except follow orders and let him hear her noises.
It's freeing.
----
Or, Xaden and Liam have fun taking control of Violet on a day when she feels out of control.
