Summary
Author's Note: So, this is it. My breakout era for Stormlight fanfic! This collection is for my ongoing Kadolin saga, Sun & Storm.
The one where Kaladin and Adolin are too busy trying not to fall in love to notice they already have. It's a slow-burn, character-driven romance that lives in the space after the "will they/won't they," asking: "How in Damnation do they?"
I'm also brand new to AO3 and would LOVE to workshop narrative concepts with fellow Stormlight fanfic writers. Where does everyone usually hang out to chat about this stuff? I'm interested in collaborative works or just synthesizing concepts. If you want to chat, please feel free to leave a comment!

Summary
"Protection,” Kaladin was learning, “Wasn’t always loud. Sometimes it was silent. Bloody. Terrifying.”
In an alternate Roshar where Kaladin never joined the army, but followed in his father’s footsteps instead—becoming a field medic, a surgeon, and something more.
Now a student at Kharbranth’s Concourse of Healing, Kaladin finds himself face-to-face with blood, birth, and the quiet weight of responsibility. But even far from the battlefield, grief clings like a shadow—and not all wounds can be stitched shut.This is not a story of war.
It’s a story of what comes after.
Or what might have, if Kaladin had chosen differently.A Kaladin in Kharbranth AU

Summary
During the battle for the Oathgate in Shadesmar, Adolin is mortally wounded. This one small change, just a matter of inches, sets off a series of events that will rewrite the history of Roshar.
-
In a war between immortal undead and fragments of divinity itself, hope is found in strange places - including the notebook of an artifabrian, the pockets of a surgeon, and the sewing lessons of a little prince.
“Darning socks is easy, my little light. There are other things - hearts, and minds, and people - that are far harder to mend. But you have clever hands, and a gentle soul…”
“And a needle?” Adolin said, beaming and holding up the little sewing kit in a chubby hand.
Evi smiled.
“And a needle.”
(This started as a bit of indulgent hurt/ comfort, only to become a massive story involving murder, conspiracies, execution, Stormscience, offworld travel, spren politics, and the unforseen effects of simple compassion. It also provides real consequences for certain major canonical decisions that seemed to be swept under the rug.
If you want explicit Shakadolin check out “Unraveling”, a series of romantic interludes that fit between various chapters of this story)

Summary
Kaladin mentally and physically overdoes it, ends up running extremely low on Stormlight and on the brink of collapsing.
He goes to Adolin and Shallan’s rooms for help, but can’t help his thoughts from turning dark and the wretch from taking over. A story of my fave polyamorous throuple caring for, tending to and looking after dear Kaladin when he won’t take care of himself.
(This takes place sometime after RoW, but honestly this is self indulgent whump/hurt/comfort/soft gentle fluff for my own pleasure so who cares when it happens?)
