Summary
_____
"Done with your princeling so soon?" Teft asks, and Adolin shrugs.
"Not my princeling," he says. Teft snorts, then jerks his head, looking over Adolin's shoulder.
"Sure he's not."
Adolin twists and looks toward the Bridge Four barracks to see the Kholin princes walking toward them.
He sighs and stands as the approach.
"I thought I made myself clear," he says to them, crossing his arms over his chest.
"I'm not leaving you here," Kaladin says quietly, eyes hard and determined.

Summary
_____
Cedric finally turns around, eyebrows raised.
“Do you want me to yell at you?” He asks.
“Yes!” Harry bursts out, throwing his hands in the air. “Yes! I want you to yell at me! I want you to tell me that I’m a terrible person, that I’m no better than the sodding Death Eater I cursed. That you can’t believe I’m the one everyone is dying for, some bloke who casts Unforgivables as easily as a cheering charm.”
_____
Cedric Diggory survives Little Hangleton and supports Harry when the Ministry calls him a liar. Albus Dumbledore succumbs to the Gaunt ring's curse early in Harry's sixth year, before he and Harry have the opportunity to study and begin the hunt for Voldemort's horcruxes. Harry, the DA, and what remains of the Order go on the run after Hogwarts is overrun by Death Eaters.
Years later, Harry and company still hunt horcruxes, and what's left of the resistance fights a desperate war for survival as the Dark Lord rules over Wizarding Britain with an iron fist.

Love's Light Carries On by kiminsocks for The Caffeine Cave Discord

Summary
People say that soulmates are two souls perfectly matched, two people meant only for one another. They romanticize the idea, that two souls complement each other in a way that is glorious and transcendent. It is said that when they meet, there is an instantaneous bond, a deep understanding that flows between the two that ascends any other relationship either will ever have.
This is not the truth. Soulmates are not two separate beings coming together. They are two halves of the same whole. They are a soul torn apart, the pieces flung out into the Cosmere, always aching for one another and so often unable to find them.
_____
A soulmate AU spanning the canon timeline from when Kaladin and Adolin meet in WoK through WaT.

Summary
_____
“Stormfather, Adolin, you didn’t tell us you could fight!”
He spins, lowering the blade hastily, then walks away from the staring men to place the sword gently next to the dead soldier.
He passes the other bridgemen and heads back back toward the main gulley of the chasm. “I was a soldier. I thought I told you that,” he mutters to Idolir as the men follow them.
“You said you were a spearman,” Idolir replies.
“I was.”
“That wasn’t a spear.”
“No, it wasn’t.”
Adolin doesn’t elaborate, and, perhaps sensing his mood, Idolir doesn’t ask anything else.

Summary
_____
The three Shardbearers pull their mounts to a halt a fair distance away.
Kaladin's not sure what to expect as the bridgemen approach the chasm; maybe the front row of men will pull out shields at the last minute to protect their crew as they run, or maybe the bridge has some contraption that provides cover under fire.
But none of that is the reality. There are no shields or contraptions, just barely clothed men that, as Kaladin and Tien watch in dawning horror, pass into range of the archers, and then begin to fall in twos, threes, fours, as arrows embed themselves into chests and heads and legs and stomachs.

…and we’ll bury these old ghosts down. by KilldegardVonBangin

Summary
*
Too much physical contact between unmated alphas and omegas can be dangerous. That's why mixed-orientation squads aren't allowed in the Kholin military. The thing is, everyone on the training grounds assumed Kaladin was an alpha... Until it was too late. Now he's in the throes of an unexpected heat, it's technically Adolin's fault, and they definitely don't like each other enough for this to be easy.
Is this the beginning of a beautiful friendship, a deadly rivalry, or… something else??

Summary
Since the occupation of Urithiru, battles have gotten darker, more vicious, and more deadly. And Kaladin isn't immune from that--if anything, the Fused have it out for him in particular.

The commotion turned out to simply be Adolin and Shallan finally joining the party, arriving fashionably late. Kaladin rolled his eyes at them despite the fond relief he felt, but paused when he actually stopped to look at them.
Adolin… was wearing a havah.
~~~
In an attempt to divert gossip away from Renarin, Adolin makes a drastic change to his wardrobe. Kaladin takes note.Bookmarked by kiminsocks
