Summary
Renarin Kholin is an ardent in Kholinar, forced to hide his bond with a spren he's convinced is a voidbringer.
Rlain is the only Listener among humans, bonded to a spren that he must keep secret, and the weight of that is becoming too much for him to bear.
With a change in circumstances, how will their fates change?

Summary
When the mayor’s eldest son cruised by in his butter-yellow convertible, polished to perfection, Kaladin’s teeth clenched so hard they squeaked.
Adolin Kholin waved like he was greeting fans at a parade.
Golden boy. Letterman jacket. All charm and perfect hair and perfect teeth. Rumor was he’d never lost a scrap of anything in his life—football game, debate team championship, maybe even an argument with God.
Moash muttered, “Look at him. Thinks he owns the damn town.”
Kaladin didn’t answer. His hands were already fists.
The convertible slowed. Adolin leaned over the passenger seat with a grin that, to his credit, wasn’t mocking—just stupidly friendly.
“Kaladin! Hey—nice bike!” he called, shouting over the engine.
Kaladin glared. “What do you want, Kholin?”
Adolin’s smile faltered, just slightly. “Nothin’. Just being polite.”
“Well don’t.”
Kaladin swung onto his bike. “I’m leaving.”
“Kaladin, wait—” Adolin began, for reasons he probably didn’t understand himself.
Kaladin revved the engine like a roar. “Stay out of my way, Kholin.”
He tore off down the road, tires squealing.

When the bridge is away the bridgemen will play by Periphyton

Summary
It's not all angst, trauma, and deadly bridge runs for Bridge Four during The Way of Kings. There are a few quiet moments, evenings of downtime and stew when the men can enjoy the companionship and relative safety that Kaladin fought so hard to create for them. Minimal angst, good vibes, and bridge crew shenanigans.

[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
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
They didn’t call Kaladin “alpha” anymore.
Not in Sadeas’ warcamp, where brands burned deeper than any scent ever could. The others in Bridge Four—mostly betas, a scant number of quiet omegas—looked at him with uncertainty, like his designation must surely be a mistake. Alphas weren’t supposed to be hollow-eyed and starving. They weren’t supposed to flinch at raised voices or brace for blows that never came.
Alphas led. They protected.
Kaladin carried bridges.
He kept his scent dulled, instinctively reined in, flat as the shattered plains around him. It was safer that way. Alphas drew attention, and attention got people killed. So he forced himself into quiet obedience, shoulders bowed, breath contained, the way a man swallows a scream.
---
He knows, Adolin realized. He doesn’t know what, but he knows I’m hiding something.
Before Adolin stepped away, he caught one last image:
Bridge Four laughing—tired, strained, but real.
Life in a place designed for death.
Adolin swallowed, throat tight.
They deserved better than this.
And if the day came when they needed help—when Sadeas finally decided to break what he feared—Adolin Kholin would not be late. -

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
“I don’t want you by my side as my Wit,” Elhokar said. “At least not in that sense of the word.”
Wit hummed. “No? Then whatever other sense could there be?”
“You know what…” Elhokar mumbled.
Wit just raised an eyebrow at him and tilted his head down, bringing their faces impossibly closer. “I don’t think I do. I’m afraid you’re going to have to tell me.”
Elhokar groaned and tilted his head back. “Are you seriously going to make me ask the question? Aren’t I your King?”
“Believe me, Elhokar. You will always be my King.”
⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹
To celebrate Elhokar bonding a spren, the royal family decides to host a celebratory gala.
And with his mother and both of his cousins having a date, Elhokar feels embarrassed. How is it that everyone has a date but him, the King?
As a last resort, Elhokar asks the only person he believes won’t judge him, Wit, to help him find a date.
Wit, being the
worstbest Wit his King could have ever asked for, does exactly that.Too bad the one Elhokar truly wants is right in front of him. And when he finally realizes it… it’s too late.
Or is it?

Summary
“You’re beautiful, always.” He reached up and grabbed Rlain’s hand to hold with his own and rubbed his fingers over his palm and knuckles. “You’re so soft.” He mused, letting his touch dance on his skin.
Rlain inhaled a sharp breath as he watched Renarin admire his body.
“Renarin… I know we talked about this beforehand, but I want to make sure you are still okay going forward with this, because… This form, it makes me feel more, and think less.” He admitted. “And… I don’t know how much I can control myself around you.” He had growled out the words.
Aka: Rlain finally takes on mateform and him and Renarin let themselves indulge in their desires

He let his eyes dance to every splinter of stained glass he could see. It was overwhelming. His Rhythm went from Awe, to Despair, to Hope, and to Surprise all in a few moments. It was so much. He couldn’t look away. It was all around him. It was everything.
So much pain and destruction and suffering were in these moments. But there was also…
Renarin.
