    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

    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

    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

    Hoid, Kaladin's therapist, advised him to do new things to deal with the mourning. One of his ideas was to bring flowers to Tien's grave, and it was the best idea around the other awful ones.

    It had been almost a year since that. Tien's grave saw bouquets with carnations, forget-me-not, chrysanthemum, gardenias, daffodils, or lilies. But one little change, the presence of Adolin Kholin, would change it all.

    Or: Kaladin buys flowers for Tien's grave, and Adolin is a too cheerful attendee.

    Summary

    «Cuando llegó esa noche a su departamento y se dio cuenta que había comida casera en su mesa, sintió como se le llenaban los ojos de lágrimas. Adolin estaba del otro lado de la mesa, tan brillante como siempre. Estaba usando un buzo azul gastado, dos tallas más grandes, con una estampa que leía "BARILOCHE". Un buzo que claramente no era suyo.»

    O: Kaladin estresado vuelve a su departamento y se encuentra con que Adolin le hizo de comer. Hurt/Comfort de toda la vida.
