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
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
Wit continued before he could interrupt, “What if there was a way to, maybe not stop Sadeas, but make it practically impossible for him to act on his threats? A way to not only shut down rumors about your House, your presumed insanity, your visions—but also the ones about why Adolin has been ignoring every marriage proposal he’s received? And, in the process, ensure Kaladin’s status as untouchable?”
Dalinar’s stomach twisted. He had a bad feeling about this, “I don’t have time for this, Wit,” he said, “Speak plainly.”
Wit leaned back in his chair. Without breaking eye contact, he said, “We betroth Kaladin to Adolin.”
“You’re joking,” Dalinar said once his mouth regained its ability to form words.
Silence stretched between them. Wit was not joking.
Dalinar missed the person he was before this conversation.
⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹
What-If: Kaladin is Adolin’s betrothed instead of Shallan, but with a twist.
P.S.: It was Wit’s idea.

Summary
Each writer had her own theories on why the Parshendi killed Gavilar. Some claimed he must have insulted them at the feast that night. Others said that the entire treaty was a ruse, intended to get the Parshendi close to him. But that makes little sense, as they had much better opportunities earlier.
Then there was the Assassin in White—the true anomaly. Why would the Parshendi hire an outside assassin? Did they fear they could not accomplish the job themselves? Or perhaps they didn’t hire him, and were framed. Many thought that was unlikely, though, considering that the Parshendi took credit for the murder.
But the murder had happened six years ago. Why was Jasnah having her study it now? Surely she wouldn’t make Shallan study something if there was no point to it, right?
Y/n couldn’t waste time with idle speculation. She needed to get close to Jasnah—see what she was researching.
For if anyone could find where Urithiru was, it would be Jasnah Kholin.

Summary
It's been a year and a half since Monkey D. Luffy started training his Haki under the tutelage of Dark King Rayleigh. Half a year until the Straw Hats would reunite in Sabaody. As Luffy waits for his dinner to roast, his Haki notifies him of something his adventurous curiosity simply can't ignore this time.
It smells like adventure!
Kaladin Stormblessed certainly didn't feel very blessed as he sat in the slave carriage to the Shattered Plains.
It smells like death.
On a hiatus for the time being as I've hit writer's block for this fic.

Summary
Just when Kaladin thought his life couldn't get worse it turns out he's soulmates with some storming lighteyes, worse, a highprince. He's not gonna trust again. He's not. Shut up Syl.
Meanwhile Adolin just wants to know why his soulmate hates him... If only he could bring himself to hate the man back. He can pretend at least.
Dalinar totally, willfully, commits a sin, and possibly offends the Almighty, but that makes him a better parent.
Renarin is really just confused about how two wonderful people cannot get along. Honestly, why is Adolin so ungrateful? Renarin would do anything to meet his soulmate... unfortunately their dead.
(it has been so long since I read WoR and OB, and I haven't even finished RoW so like- plot memory is non-existent, and I'm taking so many liberties with these characters)

A Bit of Privacy by TheCynicalSquid for Faebreath

Summary
There has always been something between Kaladin and Moash, but constantly dodging Parshendi arrows and sleeping fifty men to one room doesn't exactly encourage relationships.
Give a man a full meal and a bit of privacy, though, and there’s no telling what he might do.
