Summary
"Lad, what happened to your chest?" Tam had been using his axe on young trees some distance across the new clearing from Rand, but now he'd stopped, looking at Rand with concern.
Rand looked down at his chest and saw...writing?

He couldn't get far enough back to read the rest of it, but blurry text continued in an arc in both directions.
Tam was striding up to him, eyes intent on the words. Smile spreading across his face, Tam said, "Soulmark." Brushing some of the dirt off Rand's chest, his smile fell, then his face paled.
"What? What's the matter?"
"Let's go back to the house so you can take a look at this yourself."

"Folks say a soulmark is the Pattern writing itself right on your skin. Can't say I'm easy with that."

Summary
A missing scene set the night after Dumai's Wells. Rand's first night sleeping under the stars after getting out of the box.
--
Min sat down cross-legged next to Rand's head and started slowly running her fingers through his hair.Bit by bit, his muscles relaxed. Eyes half closed, he could have fallen asleep like that easily, but he was enjoying the feel of Min's fingers on his scalp too much. It was about the only part of him that didn't hurt, and for a time, that was the only thing he was aware of. He hoped she would never stop. It would be nice if she laid down next to him - no. He pointedly didn't look at Min - she might see the longing in his eyes.
Her fingers continued down to the tops of his shoulders, and he tensed. It wasn't that he didn't want her hands on him - anywhere, really - but his battered flesh was tender. She must have noticed, since she stopped abruptly and pulled his collar aside. He tried to turn his head to block her view, but she must have seen enough.
"Rand, how much pain are you in?" For a moment, especially when she said his name, he could have sworn that tone in her voice--no. Min didn't think of him that way. She was a friend and she cared about him. That was all.

Drilling the Bore by Manetherendrelle (EndlessGloaming)

Summary
Mierin concentrated her infinitely wide weave into a single infinitely sharp point, and...there. She was boring through something. She drew more, pushed more at her drill, until the sweetness of the Power burned in her. Beidomon was saying something, perhaps shouting. She only held on, pressing as hard as she could, as sharp as she could, until something pressed back.
Her weave splintered and she lost control of the circle. She had made a hole, a bore, and for an instant, she glimpsed something vast and unknowable beyond. Then something streamed out, a power that was not saidar or saidin, shimmering darkly in some unwoven pure form. It streamed everywhere at once, into everything around her. And into Mierin herself.
Ecstasy flooded through her such as she'd never imagined, searing her, making her feel as if she would explode every moment. This was it. This was it. The power that she'd sought, that she had bored toward. The One Power was no longer the one, and insignificant now. This was the true power.

While wandering in the World of Dreams, Rand sees a face he thought he'd never see again.

Summary
Rand finds out that Mat was left behind in Ebou Dar during the Seanchan invasion.
"I suppose Mat is with Egwene's army," he said and those odd colors swirled in his head again, making him slightly dizzy this time, and Nynaeve hastened to his side. If any other Aes Sedai had put her hands on him like that without warning… but this was Nynaeve, and she wouldn't hurt him.
Was Mat truly still with Egwene? Mat and Egwene had always been able to light sparks off each other, but perhaps things had cooled between them with some time apart. Still, even if Mat had tripped Egwene into a water trough again, like he'd done when she was thirteen, what Rand had planned was more important than-
He glanced up and met Nynaeve's eyes.
The part of him that always felt like there was never enough time had been ready to move on — Mat was lucky beyond reason these days, so surely he was fine — but there was a flash of guilt on Nynaeve's face. Not only guilt but concern. So Rand swallowed what he'd been about to say and pressed, "Nynaeve, is Mat with Egwene?"

Summary
It's been over a year since the X-Men had to disband as part of the compromise that reformed the Mutant Registration Act into something more humane and bearable. Now the team is just trying to survive on their own as a pack of young adults in New York. It hasn't been easy. One thing that might make it much easier would be if they had a pack alpha to look out for them and make regular people more comfortable around them. But most alphas are spoken for almost as soon as they present. But a chance encounter with a flute playing alpha on the streets might just change that.
Or: Rand al'Thor recently awoke in a new world and everyone here thinks he's something called an alpha. There's a new longing in his heart, and perhaps a new group of people that can help him adjust to this new world.

Summary
Blood and ashes, what had they been talking about? Mat had to go to Rhuidean, or else he’d die? He didn’t want to go to the bloody Aiel Waste! And what was that about dying and living again and giving up light and saving the world? Son of battles? None of that sounded like anything he wanted anything to do with.
And that other thing. To marry—? Light! Mat Cauthon, married! And to some bloody noble? A man? He didn’t even like men! Well, at least he had some warning now. When he met this Lord of the bloody Morning, whoever he was, Mat was going to run as fast as he could in the opposite direction.

Summary
If something happened to Elayne or her baby on Mat’s watch, he would never—Rand would never forgive him. And besides, he still owed Elayne.
He shook his head in disbelief. His onetime nemesis, now bizarre friend, asking him to pretend to be the father of the child she was having with the man he’d been secretly in love with for half his life. Just a normal day in the life of Mat Cauthon.
"All right,” he said. “I’ll do it.”
