In honour to @gal-palanaeum 's Cosmere Femslash Fic Exchange, @cosmereplay commissioned a colouring page for you! 💕

Rushu and Venli are working together on a script for the Listeners. Rushu's usually easily distracted, but she's found something, or someone, to keep her focused. 🫢😏

Free to colour to your heart's content, and remember to tag @gal-palanaeum when you post!

Need a bigger file? You can download the full 350dpi PNG here!

Special thanks to @gay-ass-worldhopper letting us use their Listener Script. Thank you, comrade! 🫡

Happy Femslash Exchange, everyone!

Work got out late so I couldn't post this sooner. 😭 Thank you and Happy Valentines day! 🥰🥰🥰

And 38 with Sadeas/Dalinar!

send me a kiss and I will write them…

prompt 38: because they’re running out of time

“We’re going to die. We’re so going to die,” Dalinar said, panicking.

“We aren’t going to die,” Sadeas replied. “We just might… get hurt. Nothing serious, that can almost be assured.” Storming Sadeas. Why was this stupid baby eighteen-year-old so self-assured? It was very clear that the three years of battle experience unifying Alethkar had gotten him was all of his battling experience. He wasn’t like Dalinar, whose first kill came when he was twelve. He was a spoiled little rich boy. He knew nothing. Still, as enemy forces surrounded them on all sides, Dalinar felt the panic as palpable energy in the air. Not like the Thrill, that was something that was scarce for now, but pure raw sexual energy. Pure adrenaline.

“Well. If we do die, there’s something I always wanted to do to you.” Dalinar was clear, firm. He stared Sadeas in the eye, dared him to come further. He would not crumble under pressure.

“And that is?” Sadeas raised an eyebrow. He probably didn’t believe in Dalinar, didn’t believe he had the balls to do it. Well, he’d show Sadeas balls. He’d show Sadeas balls any day of the week.

Dalinar moved towards Sadeas, both of their helms of their Shardplate up, and cupped his face with his hands, and kissed him as if it would be the last thing they ever experienced. Sadeas was somehow, despite his young age, so much better at kissing than Dalinar, or at the very least, knew what to do with his teeth better than Dalinar, who amidst all the passion was concentrating very hard on not biting the tongue in his mouth.

“Storms. If we make it out of this alive, I’m going to have to help you practice your technique,” Sadeas replied. Dalinar grinned, and raised his sword. He would not go down without a fight. Not with the promise of getting to do this again.

Do you have a fun cosmere fandom memory from this year? Could be art you saw or fic you read, a funny interaction on tumblr or reddit, something that happened at Dragonsteel Nexus if you happened to be able to go... Whatever comes to you!

my favorite memory is i made a really incoherent post about sadeas missing womens food sometimes and lying about the flavor of sauce his crab is dipped in just cuz he misses being allowed to eat sweet sauce really bad and this post, for whatever reason, broke containment and got like 175ish notes (which is a LOT for one of my drunkposts lets be real) and not a single one of the people in the notes went wait what do you mean he misses womens food. which means everyone was just immediately no questions asked rockin with trans sadeas or the post was too incoherent for the average reader to comprehend that i was saying he was trans. either way love wins

For the kiss game, #3 with Jasnah/Wit?

(kiss prompts here!)

#3. goodbye

Jasnah had always known that her relationship with Wit couldn’t last.

It wasn’t an assumption borne of pessimism, no matter what her mother thought. Wit wasn’t on Roshar because of her—he had priorities that far outweighed her in importance. And as old as he was, surely his time with her was nothing more than a blip in the story of his life. But still, she was taken by surprise when she found him in her quarters, dressed in one of his more practical outfits with a solemn expression on his face.

“Jasnah,” he said, and the smile he gave her didn’t quite reach his eyes. “Good. I did hope you’d be able to see me off.”

“Not staying on-world, then?” Wit rarely stayed where she was, in truth, but he did often tell her when he was leaving Roshar.

“Yes. And I’m afraid I don’t know if I’ll be back.”

If, Jasnah noted, and not when. She didn’t try to hide her disappointment. “I see.”

Wit stepped forward and reached up to cup her cheek, pressing his lips to hers. “It’s been a pleasure knowing you, Jasnah Kholin.”

Jasnah closed her eyes. “And you as well.”

And with that, he was gone. Another chapter of her life closed, just like that.

For the ask game, Rlain and #5, 9, and 12. And 14 😁

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

Oh man, I do not listen to enough music outside of work for this. A song from work it is! Unhuggable by Caspar Babypants. It's not his fault he's spiky.

9. Could you be roommates with this character?

I think so! Honestly, we are both people who are willing to put up with a lot. I do think we'd get along though!

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

He busted out of his clothes Hulk-style when he took warform while traveling back to the Listeners in WoR and was buck naked when Bridge Four found him again.

14. Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.

Uhh idk if there's a word for this but in a world where Renarin doesn't have to wear uniforms all the time, I bet Rlain lives in his baggy sweatshirts.

[real-steel-inquisitor]

What's your favourite thing about the Lord Ruler?

Lord Ruler, that's hard to pick! But coinshot to my head, probably the peace and stability he brings to the empire. A beautiful system where everyone has their place.

Also, on our birthdays he'll throw the birthday boy in the air as high as they want 😃

[chaos-monkeyy]

If you could ask/bribe/convince people to read just one of your fics - not necessarily your best, not the one that you think summarizes your style, not even your favorite, but the one you want people to read the very most for whatever reason - which one would it be?

And if you feel comfortable, why that one?

Ohhh that's a tough question 👀 I had to think about it for a while.. I cheated a little and decided on Inflection Point for a longfic option and Curious Creatures for a shorter but still multichapter option.

In both cases, it's because they're two of the works I'm most proud of planning and completing 😄 I think they've got a good range-- smut but also a bigger story arc (and even Feelings n such). And for both fics, I did something different and out of my comfort zone (style for curious creatures - it's sort of a fairytale AU, but with size kink; length and complexity for inflection point).

Basically, I feel like I succeeded at writing a Good Story as well as developing my writing chops and confidence with both of those 😊 (and they've also still got, y'know, a solid dose of smut, naturally 😏)

[koravelliumavast]

Reflecting back on the Cosmere Sexywoman bracket, what did you find surprising? What characters do you think got knocked out too soon? Did the sexywoman you were rooting for win in the end?

Jeez wow that’s a look back. Honestly I thought it was going to be between either Jasnah and MeLann or Jasnah and one of the returned.

I think we were all sleeping on Shalash however, she deserved to go higher.

[chaoticrushu]

Happy Stormlight Valentine's!

Have one of my favourite Navaniel Fics

[might-be-a-lynx]

For the new year ask game:

6. Which yet-to-be-started fic is first on your list?

24. By the end of this year, you want your fandom to think of you as “that author who _______.”

Gosh, usually fics don't get on my list until I start them lol. As it is, I don't really know 😅

As for what I want my fandom to think of me... Perhaps that author that always has creative premises. That would be the dream 🤣

[gayvyre]

I just wanted to let you know that I am having a blast revisiting the Stormlight art you're reblogging lately. It's a joy to see so much amazing Stormlight art on my dash! Thank you!

oh i'm so glad to hear that!! 🥹 i read all of the sla books last month and it's been such a great time looking through years of amazing art, i'm really happy to be able to share all of it <3

[cosmereclysmic]

Shallan for the character ask game - any or all of #12, 20, 22

Oh man this has been sitting in my drafts for ages sorry for the delay friend. 🤦🙇

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

Shallan's the type to "um, actually ☝️🤓" you on the name of specific colours. If you say it's red she'll tell you it's "burgundy." If you say something is cobalt she'll be like "oh no that's more lapiz lazuli." She's better about doing this now that she's older but in the back of her mind she's clawing at the walls screaming "That's not pink that's FUCHSIA!!!"

20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?

I need Shallan, MeLaan and Wayne to be the most deplorable comedy trio. I'm imagining them sharing shitty booze and swapping stories and giving each other acting tips. Shallan would lightweave and Wayne would call it cheating.

Not necessarily Besties but I'd love some Shallan and Lift interactions. I think they'd make for a really fun Sibling dynamic.

(Off topic I want Jasnah and Steris to have brunch. They'd have sooooo much to talk about.)

22. If you're a fic reader, what's something you like in fics when it comes to this character? Something you don't like?

I haven't had the chance to read a lot of fic, but so far any that capture Shallan's speech pattern and wit (clever and awkward execution alike) have always been winners for me.

Ok for the kissing ask game, 16 with Sadeas/Ialai

send me a ship and I will write a kiss:

16: lazily

~

Fifth pass was a day free of all the ugly things that came with being politically powerful, like paperwork and scribing and meeting with allies. Sure, if Ialai wanted she could order an assassination or two, but it was unorthodox. Today was the sort of day where she would lay around in opulance, necking with her husband instead of doing anything useful. The most perfect sort of days.

“Morning, love,” Torol murmered as he finally awoke. Ialai generally rose with the sun, but Torol often took his time waking up.

“Brush your teeth,” Ialai replied, just as fondly. She would not stand for morning breath kisses.

Torol groaned as he stretched out his arms. “Why should I? It’s so comfortable here in bed, and besides…” He moved a hand toward Ialai’s breasts. “You look so ravishing…”

Ialai shivered, and she saw one little anticipationspren pop up quickly before disappearing. “Do what you must, you senseless little skyeel. Just don’t get your mouth near my mouth.”

Torol said nothing. Instead, he trailed kisses at the base of Ialai’s neck, stopping in her favorite spot to give hickies reminiscent of their teenage courtship. It had been many years since then. But he still delivered hickies in the same way, still bit playfully at the skin.

Every day should be fifth pass, Ialai thought.

hmm this is so hard. because like. my stormlight stuff is, with the exception of to be honest with oneself, just kinda porn one shots that i am like, happy with, but don't really have any large desire to be seen by the masses. it's for a niche audience, and for the most part, i feel like that niche audience has been reached.

but if you're willing to do a little bit of deep digging, i think the one i want read most is dancers and detectives, my 85k ace attorney longfic i wrote in 10th grade. mostly because i don't know if it holds up or not! a lot of it is probably... weird, since i was 15 and didn't really know anything about how being an adult worked, but the writing itself? i have no idea if it's good or not because i look back on it and see all the ways where i fucked up or could do it better now. the premise is that ron and desiree delite have a daughter and luke atmey similarly has a daughter and they become childhood friends and, later on when they're teenagers/adults, girlfriends. it doesn't get much traction nowadays because most people on ao3 arent like "wow, this longfic that is super oc heavy and features mainly side characters that were in one case for the canon characters sounds like exactly what i want to read" but its the first long writing project ive finished (and so far the only one to date) and so it is dear to me

[ternaryflower53]

Ok being allo and thinking about that aroace soulmates AU. I'm wondering if I'm on the right track with something like "take a canon couple and reveal that not only do they not have soulmate marks but they got together so that people would stop badgering them about getting married." Thoughts?

oh i LOVE IT. i think exploring the idea of romantic attraction and dating culture in soulmate aus is super fascinating bc like, would people date anyone that's not their soulmate? what do people do with crushes on non-soulmates? would people even define crushes/romantic attraction the same way?

but yesss to life partner that's not A Soulmate (tm). excellent concept 10/10
