#adolin fanfiction

[nevertheless-moving]

continution of stormlight au 14, where kaladin keeps it together just a little longer:

Adolin: Storms! So both you and bridgeboy have been radiants—

Kaladin: surgebinders.

Adolin: surgebinders, this whole time? Unbelievable! Anyone else here secretly a surgebinder?

Renarin:

Shallan: I— your cousin. Jasnah. She didn't have a soulcaster. She was one.

Kaladin: Wait. I thought you said she died.

Shallan: Radiants can be killed! She had a sword through her chest!

Kaladin: I mean...I haven't tested that out specifically. But I've been shot a lot. And I was basically flayed alive. Teft nursed me back to life with a few diamond chips.

Adolin: Hah! The assassin did get you with a shardblade, didn't he? And you healed from it!

Navani: I knew it. She's impossible to kill.

Shallan: I— but I sank the boat. Oh stormfather...

Kaladin: I can also survive without breathing a while. 20 minutes easily. haven't timed my limits.

Adolin:

Shallan:

Shallan: I — wait, did you say you were flayed alive? What? Why?

Kaladin: It's — it's how the whole stormblessed title happened. Got strung up in a highstorm.

Adolin: Huh. At this point I was wondering if you got the title talking to the stormfather himself, ha!

Kaladin:

Adolin: ....Bridgeboy?

Kaladin: It. I mean during highstorms sometimes...

Adolin: I swear if you say you thought it was a hallucination I'm throwing you as far as I can. And I'm wearing plate right now.

Kaladin: It— it can't have been real.

Adolin: I'll do it bridgeboy. I know you can take it.

Kaladin: Fine. Anyway. That's how I got the stormblessed name. Sadeas ordered me outside, left upside down in a highstorm. Not fun, but I lived.

Shallan: So... she really could be alive...

Adolin: My captain of the guard, my bethrothed, and my cousin! Ha! Renarin, you'd tell me if you were a radiant — I mean a surgebinder, right?

Renarin:

Adolin: Renarin?

Renarin:

Adolin: Renarin...I...but why wouldn't you tell me?

Renarin (crying): I thought I was going mad. I was seeing things, I could hear screaming from my shardblade...

Kaladin: I hear that too!

Shallan: There's...something wrong with most shardblades.

Renarin: I thought it was...

Adolin (gripping Renarin's shoulder): Brother.

Adolin: I don't think hallucinations are real.

Cosmere Characters: What's Your Favorite Romance Book to Read/Listen To?

As requested by @cosmereplay :)

To be honest, I'm not sure if I'm quite doing what cosmereplay was envisioning, but this is what I got! :) This is in honor of Ardent Ellista, whom we see reading An Accountability of Virtue, which seems to be a courtly love-triangle epic romance tale. So what type of romance books do other Cosmere characters enjoy?

1. Vivenna

Vivenna: My favorite romance growing up was All the Colors of the Heart, about a princess betrothed from birth to this prince. And although she was scared, she was determined to make the best of it. Vivenna: Then it turned out he was very evil so she killed him and took over his kingdom and married his super hot, non-evil sister. Vivenna: As a young girl, I read that book over and over and over again... Susebron: H-Ha, it's so nice to meet your family, Siri...

2. Siri

Siri: Well, I always liked Dusk, about a girl who had to choose between the love of a frightening but alluring Returned who had to steal breath to live and a wolf man. Vivenna: Ugh, so unrealistic though. Why would a Returned who was thousands of years old want to hang out with a teenage girl anyway? Vasher: Sometimes she just insists on tagging along and won't stop. Vivenna: HEY

3. Adolin

Adolin: Look, An Accountability of Virtue is popular for a reason. Adolin: It has everything! Balls! Fancy clothing! Pining! Adolin: And of course, a happy ending. Adolin: Personally, I think I'm quite the Sterling. Shallan: You are. Adolin: Yessssss.

5. Moash

Moash: I like pretty much anything that's lovers to enemies. Leshwi: ... Leshwi: You mean enemies to lovers? Moash: Don't be ridiculous.

6. Painter

Painter: I like a good gothic romance. Painter: Two twisted people, scorned by society, finding a dark and bitter love in each other... Painter: Always ends tragically... Painter: That's the good stuff for a dark soul like mine. Yumi: Really? Because the book on your nightstand is... Painter: I'M HOLDING MAID CAFE LOVE FOR A FRIEND

7. Raboniel

Raboniel: The Fused have a tale about two of our kind who were soulmates. Raboniel: But they could never find a way to be together. Raboniel: One would be reborn while the other still remained on Braize. Raboniel: The one would escape only for the other to be killed within their very sight. Navani: .... Navani: And that's your, uh, favorite romance? Raboniel: All of our stories are like that.

8. Dieno

Dieno: Silly and poorly written it may be, but it's Fifty Lengths of Chain for me. Jasnah: ...Is that really a romance, though? The cover art is just...shackles. Dieno: Romance comes in many forms.

9. Steris

Steris: Well, as embarrassing as this may be to admit... I have always been a big fan of bodice-rippers. Wax: ... Wax: So, uh, we never negotiated about role-play, but... Steris: I'LL GET MY SPECIALLY DESIGNED RIPPABLE BODICE

10. Dalinar

Dalinar: My favorite romance is of course the story of me and Navani. Navani: Awww! Dalinar: But my second favorite romance is the explicit self-insert fanfiction I wrote about myself and Nohadon. Navani: ... Navani: You just learned to write. Dalinar: The world needed to know.

Transfemme kaladin/transfemme Adolin 14 or 16

Ooooh, excellent request! Trish, as could be guessed by looking at her library of fics, is always down to trans some genders!

(If you want to request one of these, the prompts are here)

Adolyn/Kal, rated Teen, 300 words

"Babe? You ready for our date?"

Squinting the darkness, clad in a fashionable crop top and shorts that may as well have been painted on, Adolyn tried to spy more of her girlfriend than just a lump under blankets.

The lump squirmed, and a groan emerged. "That's... today?"

Frowning, Adolyn crossed the room, stepping around discarded takeout containers and dirty clothing, and sat down on the edge of the bed. Choosing her words carefully, she finally asked, "Dysphoria?" Adolyn did voice training, and the time she'd put into made her voice smooth and traditionally feminine.

Dark eyes peaked out from the edge of the blanket, paired with the sort of wavy black curls that Adolyn knew many women would kill for. There were bags beneath Kal's eyes, but no signs she'd been crying. "No... or at least, not just that..." The girl's husky voice sounded empty, hollow. "I can't get up. Can't shave. Wasn't... wasn't transitioning supposed to help?" By the end, her voice was almost a whimper.

"..." Unsure what to say, Adolyn felt her hands moving before she'd thought it through. She peeled back Kal's black comforter, revealing the whole of her severe, frowning face. Sure enough, as she'd said, Kal's face was covered in rough whiskers, and she flinched under Adolyn's gaze.

"Sorry..." Her voice croaked, and only now did tears start to well up in the corners of her eyes. "I'm such a mess. Don't know how you put up with it."

Then, as though it was the easiest thing in the world, Adolyn leaned in and kissed her girlfriend.

Nothing long or deep or passionate, though she was certainly tempted to make it any of those things. No, Adolyn kissed her with lazy satisfaction, before whispering, "I don't 'put up' with anything. I love you. Now make some room, let's have our date."

Maybe an afternoon spend cuddling and talking and crying wasn't most people's idea of a perfect date, but Adolyn didn't care.

She was by Kal's side. That was enough.

[sebarial-the-economist]

I have posted a new chapter of No Matter How the Wind Howls. (latest chapter link here)

I have to say, I'm pretty excited for y'all to read it. We're starting to get to the payoff phase of the story. The setup is done, the intermediate awkwardness is getting resolved. Kaladin and Shallan like like each other, even if they're not fully admitting it to themselves yet. (It's a slow burn, what can I say?) And the Knights Radiant side of the plot is finally starting to, well, start.

Anyway, have fun!

Idk whether it's better or worse to post this on a Monday.

KNOCK KNOCK STORMLIGHT MOOTS I FINALLY FINISHED THAT FUCKING ONESHOT

[mistywitcher]

heyyyyy so I’m writing a little Shakalodin hurt/comfort/fluff fic if you wanna read it :)

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?)

[thaidakar-is-hot]

And here is the second story, meant to be read concurrently with The Gambit!

[allihearisradiogaga]

once nanowrimo is done i need to buckle down and catch up on the stormlight archive because I have so many thoughts about it but don't want to engage too heavily with fans online because I don't want to be spoiled

Stormlight Archive AU Number 9, Words of Radiance

In an attempt to ruin the reputation of the only kholin with decent social standing, illai sadeas manufactures a rumor that adolin is fucking the new dark eyed slave captain of the guard.

Double social whammy for a) getting with someone filthy and beneath his station and b) dishonorably taking advantage of poor slave boy

At this point adolin and kaladin straight up don't like each other but the sideye can be read many ways and any attempts to discourage rumors only make them stronger. Brightlady Sadeas got 20 ex girlfriends swearing that adolin has a fetish for dark eyed men. She's got 40 different people prepared to take a vow that they walked in on the two together. The evidence is so compelling that adolin is starting to be convinced.

By the time the first assassin in white fight rolls around adolin's pretty much given up on denial and started trying to get bridgeboy to at least dress better. Bridgeboy is still fighting the accusations and wardrobe with the dignity and demeanor of a feral axecat.

Shallan rolls in, still very much desperate to make the causal happen. Ok. She can work with this.

Starts laying down hints like she can't entirely fault his taste, she just prefers her woman less grumpy. Oh, did I say women? Talks very dreamily about working under - working with Jasnah, how beautiful she was in the bath - (this is a shockingly easy lie. Pattern complains there's too much truth mixed in, whatever that means).

Adolin is somewhat left with the impression that Jasnah and her had a... dalliance, which wasn't quite Shallan's intent.

Adolin does not know what to do with this information.

He makes one solid, nearly successful effort to convince her that the rumors were manufactured, bridgeboy and him don't even like one another. Then the whitespine uncaged fight happens and people are like damn.

Kaladin out there discrediting anyone who thinks there's some unwillingness on his end while simultaneously raising the bar for boyfriends everywhere. You wish you had a man who would fight four SHARDBARERS unarmed for you.

Opinion around camp flips from 'nasty affair' to 'glorious warbond.' Sure it's with a jumped up darkeyes, but...

Alethi storming love a glorious warbond.

General opinion on the amaram boon thing was that it was a bungled attempt to get another set of shards

Adolin's Prison Solidarity is really the nail in the coffin. He figures he'll try and convince Shallan after they're married and he is decidedly still not sleeping with bridgeboy. Assuming that doesn't happen. Not that he wants it to! Though if Kaladin were interested, haha jk. Unless...

Adolin: He was really hot during the duel. And well, he has to at least like me, right? Why would he jump in the arena if he didn't like me even a little.

Renarin: It's all going to end...

Adolin: you know what, you're right! Life is too short for regrets! And shallan's practically given us her blessing! I should at the very least try, right?

Renarin: a storm is coming

Adolin: thanks Renarin, I'll talk with him after this expedition. There really is...something about him.

Then the expedition! It Does not go well! Adolin genuinely thinking he's cursed, watched two whole love interests plummet to their deaths. Next several days are Not Good.

Meanwhile in the chasms:

Shallan: I mean his pectorals are...I suppose you've seen them closer up than I have. Do you think you could describe them in better detail? Does his sweat taste different when it runs down his back as opposed to his chest?

Kaladin: this. This is hell, right? I'm in hell.

🍬 I loved the transfem kadolin you wrote last time so much, can we get more of it?

Ooooh, you want more? Well, Trish did love writing that original little fic, so would be happy to do another!

Adolyn/Kal, rated Mature, 600 words

How exactly Adolyn could look so confident, could wear so little in a way that seemed effortless, Kal couldn't understand.

Especially when she was in a matching costume, and felt like an idiot.

"One sec, babe, and I'll work my magic on you," Adolyn promised as she continued tweaking her outfit in the bathroom mirror, playing with where the fabric fell and the exact shade of her lipstick.

She looked gorgeous, because of course she did. In her underwear, in a t-shirt and jeans, in Kal's clothes, Adolyn was always beautiful. But in her Halloween costume?

Ash's eyes, Kal thought, heat blossoming in areas that felt inconvenient. How is a woman like her with a thing like me?

They were doing matching costumes this year, because of course they were. Adolyn had on a red miniskirt that barely covered a third of her thighs, a blue crop top with a big "S" on the front, and a long red cape. Kal had asked when she'd been putting the costumes together if Adolyn actually liked Supergirl, to which she'd said something about being eager to show off what all her leg days at the gym had gotten her.

Which, Kal supposed, was fair. Adolyn had gorgeous gams. (Not that Kal would ever say that to her, in those words.)

"Okay, your turn!" Adolyn announced, stepping back from the mirror and pulling Kal into its purview.

One of Kal's requests had been 'nothing scandalous', because storms how exactly was she going to stand showing off her body when she... 'hate' was a strong word, but she certainly wasn't happy with it, not on most days.

Adolyn had taken the request and ran with it, leaving Adolyn clad in a tight bodysuit that technically showed off what few curves she'd managed to develop, without exposing any skin other than parts of her face, thanks to the cowl she had on to go with it. It had a cap, too, a purple one, and it left Kal's long and curly black hair to fall down her back in a cascade of curls.

"Why Batgirl?" Kaladin asked, for perhaps the tenth time, as Adolyn's hands were suddenly on her, tweaking the way the tight fabric clung to Kal. Is all the touching actually necessary, or does she just want her hands on me? Kal wasn't sure which answer she preferred.

Either way, she was getting hot and bothered again, and this was not a costume where a boner was something she could easily hide.

It didn't take long, evidently Adolyn was either satisfied Kal looked good fairly quickly, or she knew the situation was unsalvageable and gave up.

Standing side by side in the mirror, Adolyn shrugged, an arm around Kal's shoulders, and told her, "A lot of people ship them."

"Do you?"

"Maybe," and the answer came with a flush to her cheeks that Kal could feel from so close.

Kal snorted. "I thought you didn't read comics." She kissed Adolyn's cheek, and whispered, "Dork," in her ear, which sent blood rushing there as well. In that moment, able to see them both out of the corner of her eye in the mirror, Kal... well, aside from her heart hammering from her attempt at flirting, she felt good. Great.

She looked great.

Floundering for what to say after that, Adolyn started with, "I mean, I-" but Kal just took her by the hand and started to drag her out of the bathroom, emboldened.

"C'mon, princess. We have a party to get to."

What Your Preferred Kaladin Ship Says About You

[Minor spoilers for Stormlight]

Can the ships you like and/or write fanfiction for and/or read fanfiction for reveal something about you? Let’s say the answer is yes--what might your preferred Kaladin ship(s) say about you? 

1. Kaladin x Shallan

That scene in the chasms really got to you. You want to see two broken people raise each other up, preferably with a good helping of snark. Either that, or your love language is boot-stealing.

2. Kaladin x Adolin

You like a good rivals-to-lovers relationship, and you have a slight humiliation kink--it’s why you find yourself reading “bridgeboy” as romantic. 

3. Kaladin x Adolin x Shallan

Unlike Brandon Sanderson, you are no coward. 

4. Kaladin x Moash

You enjoy suffering. 

Or perhaps you just wish Sanderson hadn’t dropped the whole “the Alethi social system needs to burn” angle and still had Kaladin fighting against the system alongside Moash.

Which is to say--you enjoy suffering.

5. Kaladin x Lezian

You also enjoy suffering. The suffering of the characters, that is.

6. Kaladin x Lyn

Your ship was canon, but oh how briefly. I have to assume you write/read fix-it fanfic. 

7. Kaladin x Lewshi

You love a good, respectful, enemies to lovers slowburn. You say things like, “It’s about the yearning.” 

8. Kaladin x Renarin

I think you are probably a sweet person who wants only the best for your ships. You may have done a lot of research into epilepsy and how a fantasy doctor would talk about it.

10. Kaladin x Elhokar

I assume you are the type of person who says things like, “I want to put this man into a mason jar and shake him vigorously.”

11. Kaladin x Szeth

You probably have high hopes for the Shinover field trip. 

12. Kaladin x Rlain

You’d like to see these men explore their emotions...and presumably each other’s bodies.

13. Kaladin x Jasnah

You said “ace rights” and meant it with your whole chest.

14. Kaladin x Dalinar

You wish that a big strong man would look you in the eye and say in his deep, manly voice, “Your job is bad for your mental health. Quit right now. That is not a suggestion.”

15. Kaladin x Sleep

You just want to wrap Kaladin in a warm blanket until he feels better. 

That is to say, you love crack ships. 

[thestormlightnetwork]

Yes, this is cringe, but this is my cringe

aka: let's all laugh at my attempt at writing a fanfic at four am when i was in the middle of WoR.

Kaladin Stormblessed thought he'd looked Damnation in the eye before, but apparently, he did not.

"Are you storming kidding me?" Kaladin swore.

The smell hit him before anything else, and it screamed horse poop.

piles upon piles, hills upon hills of poop.

If Kaladin could make one animal less useful, it would be horses. Maybe then the Alethi would stop treasuring them like axehounds.

"It's your duty today, bridgeboy," Adolin assured him. "Better start moving."

"Your father and the king need protection, right now more than ever, and you send me to clean your stables?" Kaladin laughs at the sheer absurdity in the task, "You have slaves and parshmen who would cause much less resistance to the task than me, I'll have to tell you this."

"Your men are already protecting me and my family by the throat," Adolin's voice grew angrier, "and Renarin's new little stunt isn't helping to that situation."

"Oh, it's obvious why he wanted to join now, his older brother is ashamed of him."

Adolin's face reddened and he stepped closer towards Kaladin as if he was about to kill him.

But he wasn't, right?

Right?

"Listen to me closely," Adolin's voice became low and steady. "You know nothing at all about my family. You might think that you know us because we're in the history books and you've been our bodyguard for three months, but it's a mere second in my family's timeline. You need to keep quiet of your delusional accusations or when I will duel Highprince Sadeas, You will be a part of that deal."

Kaladin hasn't been afraid for his bane existence for three months now, and it's a situation that has grown fond of him.

Losing now would mean losing everything.

He couldn't let that lighteyed brat take away his' and his men's freedom.

He felt a storm of emotions, raging inside.

"How dare you speak of your own father's deal like that?" Kaladin preached to him, "How dare you speak of me like that?"

Adolin looked actually afraid of him, good.

But not as good as he thought.

Because Kaladin just drew in a tremendous amount of Stormlight, and Adolin could clearly see the glow of the Stormlight puffing out of his mouth as he spoke.

"Of course I should have guessed," Adolin shook his head in disbelief, "My father spoke of the Knights Radiant, he didn't talk about old myths in shining armour. He spoke of you, darkeyed rat."

the tempest of the storm and his own rage were the perfect motivation to hit the lighteyed boy.

So he punched him.

[amiti-art]

Random ask! What's your favourite thing about Shakadolin? And do you have a favourite piece of art or fic that features them (yours or others)?

The fact that it could be canon lmao

But in all seriousness, I love how they care for each other and how they help eachother grow and heal.

I want to quickly point that while I like Shakadolin as a romantic ship I prefer them as Adolin and Shallan being in a romantic relation and having platonic friendship with Kaladin. But what I'm about to say is fits with both romantic and platonic versions so kinda whatever

Anyway, like I said, the way they help one another and bring the best out of eachother gets me everytime.

The chasms scenes in WoR, how Shallan was able to bring some humor out of Kaladin (come on, he started cracking jokes at Dalinar when they were back, that was so funny), how her story helped Kaladin to see that the lighteyes people are not free from suffering either. How they could bond over their traumas and be honest with eachother about their pasts.

I love how Adolin and Kaladin relation progresses, how they started as rivals and became close friends with time. THE DUEL and how it changed their dynamic. How Adolin instantly believed Kaladin about Amaram when no other lighteyes ever did. Everything about Kaladin and Adolin is just >>>>>>>

I don't think I was ever this invested in a fictional friendship before.

How much Adolin cares for both Shallan and Kaladin and their worsening mental health and how much he's trying to help them heal. He was just so caring and sweet in tRoW.

I love Adolin and Shallan, they are great as a couple but the also work very good as friends, please their dialogs are so funny.

I really hope that we'll get some content with the trio in Stormlight 5 but based on the set up we're left with after tRoW it probably won't be much (if any at all). Come on Brandon they need to talkkkkkkk, I need them all to hug please please please.

When it comes to fanart, I don't have a favourite piece, most of the Shakadolin art I saw are great, I love them all.

And fanfiction, well. Stormlight doesn't have many fanfics unfortunately (this fandom is ridiculously small for books this popular), and most of them focuse on things that I'm not really intrested in so I don't read them much.

Sorry for not posting cosmere stuff in such a long time btw, I still love the books, Stormlight is literally the best series I ever read.

My friend bought the Way of Kings yesterday so I'm hoping that taking with her about it will give me some inspiration and ideas for new drawings.

[cuubism]

Your recent posts have persuaded me to order the first three Stormlight Archive books.

oh boy. it's a ride. it took me 1.5 years to read 😂

the audiobooks are very good too if you're into that

i think book 4 was probably my favorite. great lesbian plotlines in that one

i have... some mixed feelings about book 5. i already wrote two fix-it fics about it and now i'm writing a third 😂 partly because I have a severe obsession with Adolin. miraculously went from character I don't even like in book 1 to Baby Boy by book 5 XD screaming crying throwing up about him 24/7

the fandom needs more fanfiction to be honest. i'm doing my part, but still I hunger

i recommend trying to stay out of the tags. they're full of spoilers and the books have a lot of moments that are better unspoiled. i try to tag my posts accordingly but I'm not always totally on top of it

I hope you enjoy!
