I think I found the exact moment in Iron Flame when Sawyer caught feelings for Jesinia🙈

Read on Ao3
Summary: Hoping to score a dinner date, Sawyer approaches Jesinia after weeks of practicing sign language with his squadmates.
AN: Obviously we haven’t been given any details on handshape, orientation, or NMMs in Navarrian Sign Language, so for the purposes of the fic the signing error Sawyer makes is realistic to ASL. I don’t know any sign languages for other countries, so if this mistake is totally unrealistic in BSL, FSL, etc, I’m unfamiliar with the language.
In this work I mention Sawyer has a name sign. For readers who don't know much about ASL, a name sign is a sign created by a Deaf individual and given to a friend, coworker, aquaintance, etc. and a shorthand to avoid fingerspelling someone's full name. It is usually based around a trait in one's physical appearance or personality and can only be given by a member of the Deaf community. To make things simple, I designed Sawyer's name sign around the flicking movement for the word metal (signet), replacing the X handshape with an S handshape to tie in his first initial.
Anywhoville, enjoy!
He was just asking her out to dinner, nothing more. And if she said no... He would probably never show his face among the Aretian scribes again.
"Don't you think that's a bit dramatic, Sawyer?" Sliseag grumbled. "The girl is passive, her companions more so. A failed romantic pursuit would not be the end of your welcome, I'm certain."
"I would not call a woman willing to commit treason on the vague word of a friend passive, Sliseag," he snipped back.
"Then this exile from scribe territory would be a self-inflicted act of cowardice? That is not a trait I chose you for, boy."
He rolled his eyes at the exaggerated remark. Exile was a rather heavy term for his potential predicament, but he wasn't about to argue semantics with a dragon. "This must be the arrogant shit Violet grumbles about when it comes to Tairn."
Hearing a scuffing sound against the stone floor, he threw his shield in place, cutting off his dragon's next quip as Jesinia stepped into view. "Good afternoon, Sawyer," she greeted him, utilizing the sign name she'd given him a few weeks after meeting. It was blunt, as most of the language was prone to be, playing off of the sign for metal thanks to his signet, though the X handshape was replaced by an S to link in his name. Her hand lingered below her chin, fingers slowly uncurling from the loose fist the sign created. Her brow furrowed slightly as she looked over his shoulder, likely noting he was unaccompanied for once. Ridoc of all people had been the one to point out that for all Sawyer's visits here and his interest in learning to sign, he'd yet to drop by without a wingman. "Are you stopping in for Violet? I sent her a missive about a translation aid I stumbled upon."
"No. Not today. Though I'm happy to take something back, if need be. I wanted to talk to you about something outside of rider business. If you have a moment."
Brushing her dark hair back, she dipped her chin in a short nod, gesturing for him to join her at the nearest table. "Is everything alright. You seem a bit nervous."
"Nervous? No. It's just that my signing is..." He paused, trying to recall the sign for rudimentary—a word that didn't necessarily exist in NSL. "...basic," he finished, his dominant hand circling a few inches below his left. "One of my squadmates is normally here to help." Jesinia cocked her head slightly, a hint of a smile tugging at her lips. "So, I'm a little nervous. Not only about signing something wrong. Let me be more direct. I was hoping to take you to dinner."
Her eyes flared wide at that, and not just due to surprise at the request. Something went wrong in his request. "To eat," he tried to repair the miscommunication, whatever it had been.
Understanding seemed to dawn and it was clear she was trying to hide her amusement. "Dinner?" she asked, first fingerspelling, then double-tapping a D hand against her mouth, palm turned inward. He nodded in confirmation. Pausing a moment, she kept the D shape, bouncing it from her chin to the back of her jaw. "That sign is dorm."
He winced. "Now I look like an ass."
"You look like a man trying to learn a new means of communication. I have great appreciation for that effort. Learning languages beyond childhood can be difficult." She smiled again. "And I would love to go to dinner with you, Sawyer."
He grinned right back. "Are you free tonight?"

End Note: If I have any d/Deaf, hard of hearing, or CODA readers who think I could better structure this fic regarding signing elements and word choice, please know that you are more than welcome to reach out. I always appreciate polite feedback on my work and want to do everything I can to encourage representation in my writing. I am not fluent, so I know this might not be perfect. All I ask is that comments remain respectful in their correction.

Iron Flame lines that have altered my brain chemistry:
"She made her choice, and it wasn't you. It will never be you."
"I'd rather you scream at me than pretend everything is all right with silence."
"then what about the wabern, or whatever you called them?"
"Do I know something about the Archives that you don't?"
"And I still don't regret it, Vi. Not one second."
"You're all right... I'll be right here. I'm not going to leave you."
I look up into the wrath of Dunne in the form of gold-flecked onyx eyes.
"My heart only beats as long as yours does, and when you die, I'll meet Malek at your side."
The entire cliff, above and below, echoes it, as if the gryphons grieve the loss of the flier as one.
"You've earned an honorable death."
"My house. My chair. My woman."
"Look at how beautiful you are, Violet, coming for me on Tyrrendor's throne."
"That trick you mentioned? You know, with the fingers? Thanks."
"I fucking love you."
"I'm sorry. I choose your life, too. You are mine. I can't let you die."
"Less than a minute."

Sloan becomes a hot mess
Sawyer becomes a pseudo scribe at first to hit on jesinia but then finds his passion

Yelled and screamed when I saw this update. You are a gift that keeps giving 😭thank you! You are the best!
Loved the heist. Liam played xaden’s parts here? Which makes total sense. Love how Liam is not dead here, had an important role as he would have had in the books too 😭 thank you thank you for keeping him alive here.
I love love how vi is beginning to show signs of love for x. I have literally been dying for this part. Love how vi thinks of aretia as her home and wants to go home 🥹 my heart breaks that it’s going to be a while. My heart melted when she thought of carrying those books back for x. He deserves someone who cares for him so much. And also on how much she missed him, wished he was there with her, to protect her and also on that she was feeling terrible to break her promise but had no choice.
Can the squad be any more awesome? So glad vi included them all. They are a team! Jesinia and sawyer are the cutest! Love love cam and how badass he is, but also so reckless with him just pulling in vi through the wards. I don’t trust that guy to be rational anymore but it’s ok, not everyone can be rational I guess.
X is gonna burn hell to get to vi now and I cannot wait. Is there going to be a love confession like in the books? (Sorry for a spoilery q, feel free to ignore it!) Will x be mad at vi for breaking her promise or he will just forget all of that with his heart flying out of his chest. Eager to read more.
Love the comic violet too- “it’s part of my charm” yes girl being badass and brave gives us all a heart attack but we do find you charming lol.
Thank you so much!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
I was worried people were going to hate not having Xaden there for the heist because a few people brought up how excited they were for it, but I had to continue with Violet doing some things on her own that she didn’t in canon. Plus there wasn’t a great way to write it with Xaden there that he wouldn’t realize she was about to get caught and tortured. Also just not as fun and dramatic. I’m glad people seem to like the change though!
I love writing Violet falling in love with Xaden. She doesn’t need him, but she does want him there, and she’s coming to terms with that being okay. She’s allowed to have that.
Ugh Jesinia and Sawyer my BABIES!!! I was so happy to get to write them 😭 and the rest of the squad too, you guys know by now I’m not passing up an opportunity to write found family squad shenanigans. Cam and Violet are two peas in a pod with their reckless shit. No wonder Xaden and Liam hate him.
Xaden is on a warpath next chapter. At some point they’ll talk about her choice here to go ahead without him, but he’s not going to be angry at her about it like everyone seems to think. He just wants her safe, and he’ll understand why she did it. Like, it was stupid but she was kind of right lol
