Kissing Lessons by chappellroansgf for CoffeeDrip

Summary
When Kaladin awkwardly admits he’s never kissed anyone—not even held hands—he’s humiliated.
Adolin, his best friend and longtime secret crush, offers to help: flirting tips, kissing lessons, everything. Just as friends.
Kaladin agrees, knowing it might ruin him. Because he’s in love with Adolin. And Adolin doesn’t feel the same.
Or so he thinks—until a kiss meant to be practice turns into something else entirely.

Adolin smiled, just a little too knowingly, “So… how about it? Think you’d be willing to show me just how well I taught you to kiss?”
Kaladin was never going to get used to this. To Adolin speaking to him like that.
Still, somehow, he found the nerve to narrow his eyes in mock challenge.
“You sure you’re ready to see just how good of a kisser I’ve become?” Kaladin asked.
Adolin’s eyebrows rose, lips parting into a handsome grin. He leaned in slowly.
“I’ll always be ready,” Adolin said, “Because I’m the one who taught you. And you…” He brought his lips so close they were almost brushing, “You’re never going to kiss anyone else. You’re mine.”

Kaladin didn't want to be at that party; he'd rather sleep. Though the fact that Elhokar was there, wearing that dress... might be a good excuse to stay.

Adolin Kholin’s Guide to Realizing You’re in Love With Your Best Friend by chappellroansgf

Summary
Dalinar has always respected Kaladin. So when he notices the way Adolin looks at him, Dalinar has the perfect idea: ask Kaladin to be Adolin’s date to his and Navani’s wedding.
Adolin and Kaladin agree, if only to make Dalinar happy. They’re not dating. They don’t even like each other that way.
Except… maybe they do.
Pretending feels too easy. Too natural. And after the wedding, they’re left with feelings they can’t explain and definitely can’t ignore.
⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹
“Kaladin,” Adolin repeated, “You want me to take Kaladin as my date.”
“Correct,” Dalinar said.
“Kaladin,” he said again, “You mean Bridge Four Kaladin. Captain Kaladin. My… friend Kaladin.”
“You like him, Adolin,” Navani said gently, “And we just thought… well, maybe this was a way to help you take the first step. To stop pretending it’s only friendship when it clearly isn’t.”
Adolin choked.
“What—?” His voice cracked, “You think I—? That I like Kaladin? As in… like‑like?”
Dalinar frowned, “Don’t you?”
“No!” Adolin half‑shouted, “No, of course not. He’s my friend. My best friend.”
Wasn’t he?

Summary
It’s been ten years since Kaladin and Adolin had gotten married.
During their honeymoon, Kaladin had opened up to Adolin about how it felt seeing him with his brother, Oroden. About how it made him imagine a future where they had a child of their own.
And now, ten years later, they’re finally ready.
At the orphanage, one child stands out. Not for anything obvious, but for something they cannot describe. The moment they see them, there’s a connection. Love.
As if this was always meant to be.
⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹
Kaladin looked at Adolin—his husband, his heart. And he saw not just the present in him, but the future too. A future with arms wrapping around his waist, and soft voices calling him “dad.”
Maybe it would terrify him.
But Adolin was here. And he loved him.
And Kaladin was ready to try.
⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹
Sequel to: You and I Go From One Kiss to Getting Married. But can also be read as a standalone!

Summary
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.
⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹
He knew the second Adolin spoke—hearing that edge of caution, of wariness in his voice—Kaladin knew the last piece was falling. 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. Certain.
“Maybe you’ll even help me. Just like you promised you would.”
The world cracked around him.
No. Stormfather, no. Not him. Not Adolin. Please.

Summary
Hace ocho meses, Kaladin presenció lo peor de la humanidad. «El honor ha muerto» repetía una y otra vez en su cabeza, mientras los carromatos seguían avanzado. Los días se habían convertido en una rutina enloquecedora. Despertar, comer bazofia y dormir. Con diez intentos de escape y tantos muertos en su conciencia, Kaladin se encontraba tendido contra los barrotes de su nueva jaula, completamente perdido.
Pero todo cambió el día que los esclavistas trajeron un nuevo integrante al carromato de esclavos.
Alguien que no tendría que estar ahí.
Alguien que contradecía todas sus creencias.
Y alguien que cambiará su vida para siempre. -

Summary
Vin and Elend have been transported to Roshar in the middle of Szeth's attack on Dalinar.
I have tried to keep it as accurate to the cosmere lore as possible, with some of my own interpretations on how the different forms of investure would interact.
This is also my first story, and I would appreciate any notes in the comments. I know that it will never be perfect, even less so since I am writing Brandon Sanderson characters, and my writing skills are not good enough for it.
There are spoilers for Mistborn books 1-7 and for Stormlight books 1-5

Summary
After Adolin discovers Kaladin’s secret fantasy, it takes time to help him see it’s nothing shameful—that Adolin loves him completely, and may even share the same desire.
But finding someone they can trust with something so intimate proves harder than expected.
Until—someone neither of them had considered volunteers.

Adolin blinked, stunned.
“Oh no. No, no, no,” he said, voice rising, “You’ve been listening. You were listening in to our conversations about sex,” he accused, “What the hell is wrong with you?”
Wit grinned. Not guiltily.
Adolin’s voice dropped, “Wit, if you’re planning to turn this into some grand magical tale you’ll spin for court intrigue or whatever—”
“I’m not,” Wit snapped.
He sounded almost… insulted.
“I’m not going to mock this. I just—”
“I believe he would like to volunteer,” a smooth, cheerful voice said.
Both men turned.
Wit’s entire face crumpled like someone had just shoved him off a cliff.
“Design!” he hissed, eyes wide, “You’ve done it again! Spoiled my entire monologue!”

Summary
After Shadesmar, Kaladin finally confesses his love to Adolin. It goes horribly wrong. Adolin pulls away, colder than ever, and Bridge Four begins to drift away from him. Only Syl remains—a single light in the growing darkness.
Haunted by regret, Kaladin watches everything he loves slip through his fingers. As Adolin prepares to marry Shallan, Kaladin is left with nothing but the crushing silence of what could’ve been.
He begins to believe the world would be better without him. That maybe, finally, it’s time to let go.
But just as he’s about to let go, he realizes something. Something that changes everything.
⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹
Adolin knew exactly what he was doing.
He smiled wider. Cold. Icy.
“It’s only right,” he added, “That you see how happy I am. Without you.”
Kaladin felt the blood drain from his face.
His lungs refused to expand. His body went rigid. He thought he might be sick.
Adolin turned away, as if that were the end of the conversation. As if he’d merely delivered a formal report and had more important places to be.
And he walked off.
Just like that.

Summary
What-If: Kaladin is Adolin’s betrothed instead of Shallan, but with a twist.
P.S.: It was Wit’s idea.
⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹
Wit continued before he could interrupt, “What if there was a way to, maybe not stop Sadeas, but make it practically impossible for him to act on his threats? A way to not only shut down rumors about your House, your presumed insanity, your visions—but also the ones about why Adolin has been ignoring every marriage proposal he’s received? And, in the process, ensure Kaladin’s status as untouchable?”
Dalinar’s stomach twisted. He had a bad feeling about this.
“I don’t have time for this, Wit,” he said, “Speak plainly.”
Wit leaned back in his chair. Without breaking eye contact, he said, “We betroth Kaladin to Adolin.”
Dalinar stared at him.
“You’re joking,” Dalinar said once his mouth regained its ability to form words.
Silence stretched between them.
Wit was not joking.
Dalinar missed the person he was before this conversation.

Summary
“We Bond not only the human as he is, but as he will be one day, Ancient Daughter.”
The plot to assassinate Elhokar had been so close to succeeding.
If one ignored the appearance of an insistent windspren.
And the betrayal of a Shardbearer.
And the swearing of Ideals.
And the realization sparked between two friends just in time.
And the exit of the assassin himself from the palace with the King on his back.As the True Desolation claims Roshar, hope becomes a fragile thing, a gaunt flame wavering in the darkness. But one shouldn’t be consigned to darkness because it is reflected in one’s eyes.
Two people understand this best of all—they, who have moved forward, but look backward. They, whose eyes burn alight, but are as dark as ever.
Who better to look out for the darkeyes and slaves of Alethkar and beyond than a pair of darkeyed slaves-turned-Radiants?

I'm not messing around. I will be referencing several things that happened in WaT in the summary so click away now if you don't want spoilers.
Still here? Dope.
It's been a decade since the Contest of Champions and Retribution is mobilizing. Reports of returning Fused and Heralds have reached Urithiru. The end is upon them and Bridge Four reunites (I'm waving my hands about how everyone gets there—I want them all together so pipe down) but one person who should be there is missing his own party. Bridge Four is certain Kaladin Stormblessed will return but Adolin isn't so sure...until he hears a familiar voice call his name later that night on the sparring grounds.
