    Summary

    "Then why am I awake?"

    Adolin isn't sure what answer to give. He's not calculating, not like Veil or his clever aunt or many, many of the girls he'd courted in the past. He just can't figure out what the truth is.

    The truth is, Veil slipped out in the middle of the night and he's so aware she's gone that he can't sleep, either.

    The truth also is that he's got an ambient, haunted sense in these halls even months after having taken Sadeas's life in them. Like blank stares are waiting in each brick-laid crevice.

    The truth is, as well, that sometimes if Kaladin is too far away, he starts to feel like a flickering candle in the corner of Adolin's eye. Like he can't turn his head to see if it's sputtering out, or tipping and falling, setting the room alight in the process.

    The truth he says is, "I can't sleep. And I'm bored."

    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

    Inspired by Chaper 12 of RoW. What if one of Shallan's truths were admitting her feelings for Kaladin to Kaladin? Canon divergent AU where, Veil comes to Kaladin instead of Adolin. It's a slow-ish burn because spren and the damnably honorable prude that is Kaladin Stormblessed. Most of Chapters 1-4 is Veil/Shallan/Kaladin lead up with some angst, feelings, puns, fluff, needling banter, and pesky spren thrown in. The dubious consent is pretty tame and is over by Chapter 2. The Shalladin smut really starts in Chapter 5 and the Kadolin smut starts in Chapter 9, and continues in Chapter 11, if that's why you're here, but there’s some gay panic, Adolin forces Kaladin to take a spa-level bath, and the spren become a scourge on human intimacy in between. Chapter 12 is mostly Shakadolin fluff and merciless puns.
