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.

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.”
⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹

Summary
Through sheer bad luck, Adolin runs into Kaladin just after stabbing that rat bastard Sadeas to death within the depths of Urithuru. Well, Adolin can't have the naturally suspicious Kaladin figuring out that he just committed murder. And since Kaladin's rather observant, Adolin is going to have to deploy one of his less used tools, seduction to distract him from going down the wrong corridor. After all, Bridge-boy has no chance of resisting the advances of one of the Alethi's most eligible bachelors.

Summary
With the discovery of anti-stormlight, the fused are determined to start knocking some of the major players of the knight's radiant off the board for good. At the start of a battle, Kaladin, as one of the most influential people in the war, is targeted.
But Leshwi thinks this is an extremely dishonorable strategy.
---
Kaladin coughed up blood. Only a little, for now. But if he was coughing up blood at all, the spear had clipped a lung, if not outright punctured it. Drowning on his own blood was yet another way he could die here, lying face down in the dust and crem. Leshwi must have put him here, he realized. If he'd hit the ground on his own, he would be dead already. But he wasn't, and Leshwi had killed one of her own people for him. Huh. She must really like him to try this hard to save his life.

Summary
Dalinar’s jaw clenches. “So you’ll give up the town. In exchange for what, exactly?”
“Something I crave more,” Leshwi says, and now she’s looking at Kaladin. Fuck. “A greater prize than one Alethi town. Dalinar Kholin, I will retreat with my forces and forfeit this village to you—” she looks briefly at Dalinar to confirm the offer, then turns her gaze back to Kaladin. Kaladin shivers under the voidlight glow of her eyes. “—in exchange for an evening with your Highmarshal.”

Summary
Kaladin is attending the Ivy League Kharbranth University as a premed student. Modern-ish (mid-2000s) AU with (almost) no magic or spren (our world) just our favorite characters (Kaladin, Shallan, and Adolin) meeting/navigating college together. Think Stormlight with more girl-boy drama and lots of misunderstandings/miscommunications because I love that shit. If you're a millennial, get ready for some nostalgia. Especially where emo music is concerned because in my heart Kaladin is the OG emo kid. You can expect lots of typical millennial teenage angst/feelings/drama/pining/firsts and my typical crack-ish innuendo-laden prose. Also, we will be using ‘storms’ as a swear word because it's part of my vernacular.
Monthly-ish updates.
Updating tags as I go.

His muscles felt shaky and weak. He was going to hurt tomorrow but today he was going to sleep hard. He shut his eyes before he collapsed face-first onto his bed but his eyes almost immediately snapped open again.It smelled like her. His pillow, the sheets, his blanket. It all smelled like Shallan. He felt like he was surrounded by her. He wished he was surrounded by her. Fuck.

Summary
A casual conversation between Shallan and Adolin reveals to Kaladin that one of his past masters is his best friends’ friend. Suffice to say, he does not, reasonably, take it well. Adolin and Shallan fret until Kaladin finally breaks under the reminder of every small insensitive comment from them and blows over them.
OR
The fight between the trio that was long coming, and very much needed.
CW: canon typical mentions of slavery, implied/referenced past rape, (again, it almost happens but doesn’t. No direct mentions of it occur. But please don’t read if that makes you uncomfortable), canon typical violence, classism, PTSD. Let me know if I missed anything.
