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
“Ok here is what will happen. We will sell you for a nice little sum, as there will be some happy people for the valuable hostages that you are.”
“And who will take us, huh?” Adolin countered, “No person would want to become a target to the mighty Blackthorn.” A sort of triumph started building itself in Adolin´s heart.
Jashel was unimpressed by this.
--
Alternate AU where the young Kholin princes land themselves in a dangerous situation which leaves Evi worried and Dalinar out for blood. But can the Blackthorn look past his inner demons and seek a more peaceful solution?

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
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
“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.

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
Guilty. That was the verdict.
Guilty, for breaking oaths, for betraying bonds and spren, for condemning an entire race of immortal beings to eternal torment.
Guilty, alongside all men who ever lived but he alone would have to pay the price.

Summary
In a world where lighteyes worship Odium, darkeyes and singers are reduced to a number and sold at auction. At the age of twenty-three, all lighteyes are required to buy a slave. Refusal means punishment or potential death.
When Adolin turns twenty-three, he’s invited to his first auction, where he ends up with slave Nine-One-Five-Two, who he later finds out is named Kaladin.
Everyone around him treats their slaves with the cruelty modeled by Odium himself. But Adolin can’t bring himself to do the same. What begins as small acts of kindness—acts Kaladin rejects—slowly grows into trust and something neither of them had anticipated: love.
But when others notice how differently Adolin treats his slave, he’s forced to choose between getting away clean or suffering punishment for his defiance.
And when it’s revealed that the Radiants aren’t gone after all, and that Kaladin may be involved… everything changes.
⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹
Adolin Kholin is forced to buy a slave. Kaladin is said slave. This is their love story with a whole lot of angst and heartbreak in the forefront.

Summary
Kaladin is attending the Ivy League Kharbranth University as a premed student. Modern-ish (mid-2000s) AU with 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
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.
