Summary
Walking forward, Mat took Rand’s free hand in his own; his grip was tighter than he meant it to be, but Rand didn’t seem to mind. When he smiled, it was tired, but there was a look beneath it that Mat thought he knew; it was the look of returning home after a long day. Of seeing your family safe. Of finally seeing your friend again after he’d been snowed-in up mountain all winter.
-
It takes a while, but Rand and Mat begin to realize that their home came with them when they left Emond's Field.
-
Largely based on show-canon and set after the end of episode 3. A few scattered easter eggs for book readers. This is the Corruption series complied all in one place along with additional chapters and POVs! Reading the rest of the works in this series is not necessary. This will have it all in one place!Series

Summary
Set just after season 1, episode 4 of the show, so spoilers for that. A few book easter eggs. See beginning AN for trigger warnings.
-
Mat falls ill while grappling with the aftermath of their stay at the farm. Rand worries about him.
-
He hoped against all hope they had left the Fade behind for good, but- Oh, Light. That house. That room.
He felt feverish, like his skull was full of fire. His blood felt frozen - almost glacially icy - but it moved like lightning, spurred by a heart thrumming fast enough that he could hardly tell the difference between one beat and the next. Was that why his hands, clutching the reins like his life depended on it, were shaking? Was he shivering? Was it just the cold or was it the fear?Series

Summary
Takes place during the time skip of episode 5 of the Prime show. Teen for language
-
After their horses are stolen, Rand and Mat continue their journey to Tar Valon on foot as their supplies, funds, and food dwindle. Rand worries some more.
-
“Think she’s a Darkfriend like Dana?” Mat blessedly kept his voice down, but Rand couldn’t help the tired sigh that escaped him. He looked down at his palm to the coins the server had given him back and found three copper pennies rather than two. Either she actually was horrible at simple math or she thought a single copper might mean the difference between life and death for them. The tragic part was, there was decent chance she was right.
“Doubt it,” Rand replied, keeping his voice down as well. “She’s probably just a good person moved to charity by how awful we look.”Series

Summary
First chapter set in episode 7. Second takes place some time later. Will likely be an AU once episode 8 airs.
-
Rand had faced a lot of awful truths recently. This one wouldn't be as bad if only he didn't have to write it down.
-
Rand’s knees hit the floor hard as he fell out of the chair, doubling over the ground and clasping a hand over his mouth. The blank sheets of parchment he had stacked to the side were dragged off the desk with his other arm. They scattered across the floor as he held his stomach like he was going to be sick, or like he was trying to keep the shattered pieces of himself together.
Through a jaw and throat tense with restrained sobs, he whispered, “I’m going to die, Mat.”Series

Summary
Show and book based. Contains spoilers for season one and books 1-3. Teen for language.
-
After receiving a letter from Rand that changed everything, Mat finds himself in the Ways with Liandrin. It's a truly awful combination.
-
She had dropped the sickly-sweet act the moment they were out of Tar Valon, driving him forward like a rancher driving cattle, incredulous of his explanation that he knew where Rand was and could point right toward him. After demonstrating his spinning test – repeatedly, while blinded with the Power, and didn’t that just make his skin crawl? – she said she believed him. Aes Sedai couldn’t lie, so he knew she did, but the calculative look on her face when she said it made him want to run for the hills.Series
