Summary
So, this is it. My breakout era for writing Stormlight fanfics! 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?"

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.
⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹
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 him. Not Adolin. Please.

Summary
Kaladin is sworn to protect. She’s a spy sent to betray. And their relationship could save—or break—both of them.
Kara has always walked between worlds: lighteyed noble and Diagram loyalist, spy and scholar, failsafe and free spirit. Sent to Urithiru with vague orders and no backup, she plans to lay low, map the tower, and stay unnoticed. But when she ends up as a scribe for the Windrunners, Kaladin refuses to drop his suspicions, and she can't quite tame her curiosity. Turns out, lying to Bridge Four is more difficult than she anticipated. As suspicions rise and war rages, Kara must navigate dangerous secrets, a stormy Windrunner Captain, and a budding group of Windrunners that makes her wish she could give honest answers for once.
Secrets unravel. Storms gather. And Kara’s past returns. Violently.
Sometimes, survival means trusting the person with the sword at your throat.
Weekly updates (or more)
Starts a few weeks after Oathbringer and diverges from canon.
Note: This Kara is an original character and not the Windrunner Kara who appears later in canon.

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.
⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹
Or: 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
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?
