Summary
When Kaladin was told of his class would be participating in the first ever Interhigh Dance Recital, he hoped he would be allowed to do a solo. Or at least get someone bearable to dance with. Of course, since the universe seemed to hate him, that didn't happen. Instead he was paired with Adolin Kholin, the unfairly attractive, straight, playboy of Kholinar Prep. Just perfect.

Summary
Yokska offers a room to Adolin and Kaladin. Kaladin thinks that means there are two beds. Adolin doesn't seem to care that there's only one.
OR
"And there was only one bed!"

Summary
Shallan grins at herself, satisfied with her petty little insult, and Kaladin finds at least one knot in his chest unwind at the familiar treatment, making breathing feel just a little bit easier. She’s not yelling at him and throwing him out of the room—the room that, now that he looks around, belongs to neither Shallan or Kaladin.
The realization hits at the same moment that the sheets rustle, and Adolin’s head pops up over Shallan’s shoulder, grimacing at the headache he undoubtedly has.

what is this feeling? (loathing, unadulterated loathing) by pleaseinsert_namehere

Summary
When Kaladin had tried to kill himself after his ex-boyfriend had baited him, he had thought his life was at his lowest. The only thing that could compare would be the death of his little brother, Tien, at the hands of a drunk driver that got away without justice.
But this? This was worse.
His new roommate was an extrovert and seemed to delight in Kaladin’s suffering. A spoiled rich boy who had introduced himself as Adolin Kholin.

Summary
The bridgemen always get checked for smuggled spheres after chasm duty. One guard takes advantage of his unfortunate post (though Kaladin is definitely the more unfortunate one here).

Summary
After moving in with Shallan and Adolin, Kaladin's feeling conflicted. He's pretty sure that he loves both of them, but he and Shallan keep getting into arguments. After their latest fight, he decides (while listening to Shallan cry in the other room) that this was a mistake and he'd better move out. Adolin, however, has some interesting ideas about diplomacy, and Kaladin overhears him comforting Shallan...
And then he kissed the back of Kaladin's hand, terribly tenderly. "Please, stay." And then he kissed each of Kaladin's knuckles, too.
Kaladin just let his hand lie limply in Adolin's grasp. "Well, what about Shallan?" he asked, his voice tight with stored-up emotion and pent-up arousal. "Does she want me to stay?"
"I'm not going to speak for her," Adolin said, kissing his way up Kaladin's arm, to his shoulder, his collarbone, clambering over him. "But I want you to stay."

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?)

Summary
Kaladin realizes that he has feelings for both Adolin and Shallan, and can't get it through his head that maybe they feel the same way about him.

Kaladin knows he can´t get between Shallan and Adolin. They swore an Oath, and he will not intervene. No matter how much Syl nags him, or his storming thoughts keep slipping back to Adolin, he won´t. He will not... Or will he?
