    Summary

    Kaladin gets caught out in the Everstorm during a battle. Leshwi saves his life when she could easily have taken him off the field for good.

    And then... she just keeps saving him. And Kaladin saves her. And something grows between them that's more than mutual respect and honor. Something that might jeopardize all the oaths he currently stands on.

    For even if they're on opposite sides of a war, how can he try to kill someone he loves?

    Summary

    “I tried, Kaladin,” Amaram said, “I thanked you. I was going to give you a new life. But you couldn’t just take it, could you?”

    Kaladin’s mouth was dry, “Take the Blade. But don’t hurt him—”

    “Oh, I will take the Blade,” Amaram sneered, “But it’s not enough. The truth can’t get out. It must be believed that I killed the Shardbearer.”

    “You can lie. Say whatever you want—”

    “I’m sorry, but this is what happens when darkeyes forget their place.”

    NO!” Kaladin shouted.

    Amaram raised a hand.

    Two knives plunged into Adolin’s body.

    ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹

    When Adolin takes the fall for something he didn’t do, Dalinar sends him to serve anonymously in Amaram’s army.

    There he meets Kaladin, his squadleader and new roommate. Adolin’s flirty, sunshine charm slowly breaks through Kaladin’s walls, and they eventually fall for each other.

    Then, Amaram betrays them. He tries to kill Adolin and sells Kaladin into sexual slavery.

    When Adolin finally finds Kaladin again, he’s broken. He doesn’t believe the man he once loved could be a prince.

    But Adolin refuses to give up.

    Summary

    Kaladin is sworn to protect. She’s a spy sent to betray. And their relationship could save—or break—both of them.

    Kara has always walked between worlds: lighteyed noble and Diagram loyalist, spy and scholar, failsafe and free spirit. Sent to Urithiru with vague orders and no backup, she plans to lay low, map the tower, and stay unnoticed. But when she ends up as a scribe for the Windrunners, Kaladin refuses to drop his suspicions, and she can't quite tame her curiosity. Turns out, lying to Bridge Four is more difficult than she anticipated. As suspicions rise and war rages, Kara must navigate dangerous secrets, a stormy Windrunner Captain, and a budding group of Windrunners that makes her wish she could give honest answers for once.

    Secrets unravel. Storms gather. And Kara’s past returns. Violently.

    Sometimes, survival means trusting the person with the sword at your throat.

    Weekly updates (or more)

    Starts a few weeks after Oathbringer and diverges from canon.

    Note: This Kara is an original character and not the Windrunner Kara who appears later in canon.

    Summary

    [Because Kaladin and Moash were right the whole time.]
    BATCH uploads every few weeks!
    ༄.°
    Kaladin Stormblessed was not meant to survive the bridge crews, nor the arrows of the Parshendi, nor the highstorm’s judgement.

    Now, he commands the bridgemen in the royal guard of Dalinar Kholin. But the bridgemen will soon find that escaping slavery to hold a title in the Alethi government comes at a heavy cost. One that will force them to reconsider if life as fugitives would have been more honorable than to be involved in this war.

    In part one of this canon-divergent project, Kaladin is responsible for protecting not only the royal family, but his bridgemen from the consequences of disobeying an oppressive status quo, only to find that he won’t be able to do both. Meanwhile, Moash has already made his choice—to seek justice against those who hurt him, even if it’s the King.

    As the everstorm nears and as the mysterious tremors shaking Roshar grow more violent, the bridgemen must decide where their allegiance lies. Will Kaladin find the will to trust Dalinar Kholin and tell him he’s a Radiant? Will Moash successfully avenge his family? Will their bonds finally be broken by their differences?

    Summary

    In a world where lighteyes worship Odium, darkeyes and singers are reduced to a number and sold at auction. At the age of twenty-three, all lighteyes are required to buy a slave. Refusal means punishment or potential death.

    When Adolin turns twenty-three, he’s invited to his first auction, where he ends up with slave Nine-One-Five-Two, who he later finds out is named Kaladin.

    Everyone around him treats their slaves with the cruelty modeled by Odium himself. But Adolin can’t bring himself to do the same. What begins as small acts of kindness—acts Kaladin rejects—slowly grows into trust and something neither of them had anticipated: love.

    But when others notice how differently Adolin treats his slave, he’s forced to choose between getting away clean or suffering punishment for his defiance.

    And when it’s revealed that the Radiants aren’t gone after all, and that Kaladin may be involved… everything changes.

    ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹

    Adolin Kholin is forced to buy a slave. Kaladin is said slave. This is their love story with a whole lot of angst and heartbreak in the forefront.

    Summary

    Major spoilers of Part 1 of Sons of Tanavast Series!

    Look away now if you don't want to be spoiled -- I highly recommend reading Part 1 before this fic.

    This series replaces book 5 Wind & Truth. Major spoilers for book 4 Rhythm of War.

    -

    The saga continues;

    King of Alethkar, God of Honour and single father. Kaladin’s life came crashing down around him after swearing his fifth ideal. It was the hardest one yet and in the aftermath of the trauma can he recover or will he shatter? Who can he trust when Navani has turned against him, Kalak betrayed him and all of his friends just don’t understand.

    Struggling to cope with the grief Kaladin finds himself regressing as he lives a new and simple double life as a recruit. As it turns out Bridge twenty-three needed this new recruit just as much as he needed them.

    Meanwhile the desolation continues as Odium does not back down after the Honour shard was reforged. Instead, it is Vyre who hatches a plan to try to turn the war back into the favour of the enemy.

    Summary

    Lopen is bored watching the other men in Bridge Four practice carrying the bridge, so he starts a game of chasm hop with Dabbid. Soon the rest of the bridge crew join in. For, um, agility training. It’s totally not a group of grown men playing hopscotch. Definitely not. They certainly are not working out how to play a crazy hybrid version of Alethi, Azish, Herdazian, Horneater, and Parshendi hopscotch.

    Summary

    rosharshottest.com/newgossip

    The Tower of Urithiru is booming with the news that our favorite bachelor, Kaladin Stormblessed, has been on the receiving end of some romantic love letters.

    Is our brooding Captain finally going to experience love?

    windrunnering: kadolin is coming guys
     → AdolinKholin: hey, sorry. who is kadolin?

    ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹

    Kaladin has been receiving love letters.

    As luck would have it, he can’t even deal with them privately, as someone has been sending anonymous messages to 'Roshar’s Hottest', informing the entire world all about them. Many people, but his fans mostly, speculate that they know the identity of his new admirer. Too bad that Kaladin isn’t active on social media.

    Adolin, on the other hand, is lost.

    After years of pining after his best friend, he’s determined to finally win Kaladin over by sending him anonymous love letters. His plan backfires when someone leaks that information to the public, resulting in Kaladin receiving love letters from not only him, but from all of his fans.

    How will Adolin win him over now?

    Summary

    Moash had won. He’d broken it. He’d broken the only thing Kaladin had ever let himself want.

    And then the final words, the ones Kaladin had feared above all, came like a death sentence:

    “I’m glad you’re here, Kal,” Moash said quietly, “You’ll get to see it. What I should’ve done from the start,” His voice was cold and certain, “Maybe you’ll even help me, just like you promised you would.”

    Kaladin’s world broke.

    No. Stormfather, no. Not Adolin. Please.

    ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹

    For years, Kaladin and Adolin have shared dreams of each other—dreams Kaladin forces himself to forget—without knowing the other’s identity.

    But before they can even meet, Moash convinces Kaladin to help him assassinate the King and his family, setting events in motion that could ruin everything before it even began.

    Summary

    “Kaladin,” Adolin repeated, “You want me to take Kaladin as my date.”

    “Correct,” Dalinar said.

    “Kaladin,” he said again, “You mean Bridge Four Kaladin. Captain Kaladin. My… friend Kaladin.”

    “You like him, Adolin,” Navani said gently, “And we just thought… well, maybe this was a way to help you take the first step. To stop pretending it’s only friendship when it clearly isn’t.”

    Adolin choked, “What—?” His voice cracked, “You think I—? That I like Kaladin? As in… like‑like?”

    Dalinar frowned, “Don’t you?”

    “No!” Adolin half‑shouted, “No, of course not. He’s my friend. My best friend.”

    Wasn’t he?

    ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹

    Dalinar has always respected Kaladin. So when he notices the way Adolin looks at him, Dalinar has the perfect idea: ask Kaladin to be Adolin’s date to his and Navani’s wedding.

    Adolin and Kaladin agree, if only to make Dalinar happy. They’re not dating. They don’t even like each other that way.

    Except… maybe they do.

    Pretending feels too easy. Too natural. And after the wedding, they’re left with feelings they can’t explain and definitely can’t ignore.

    Adolin's point of view from the moment between his bridgeboy and Wit at the feast. The fallout. The consequences.

    Part 2 of the Neediverse, makes more sense when read with Part 1, but could be read as a stand-alone.

    Summary

    Back in business, with the first two chapters refurbished!

    “I want you to handle a big mission, something important.” And this is the perfect opportunity, because, how hard can capturing one teenager be? It said. It left another sour taste in Adolin’s mouth to think about how the leader of the storming rebellion was barely an adult. But, this was the perfect opportunity. He could prove himself to his father- no matter how ‘easy’ the mission may be.

     

    Kaladin is the leader of a rebellion and Adolin is personally charged with taking down said rebellion and dispatching Kaladin.
