    Summary

    The first time he feels the terror, he doesn't understand why. As he barely hangs onto consciousness, the soft silicon presses against his face, enveloping his nose and mouth. The spark of terror catches fire in his chest and quickly spreads across his body. It ignites a screaming inferno within his skull. He forces his eyes open. Everything is red. There's shapes above him. Pure oxygen fills his airways, stale and clinical and familiar and wrong.
    Grace's memories of his unwilling medical sedation and forced sacrifice return, vivid and violent. Later, on the journey back to save Rocky, he has night terrors. The thin lines between consciousness, unconsciousness, memory, and nightmare blur.

    Summary

    Renarin often wonders if he'll ever feel comfortable in his own skin, or if he'll spend the rest of his life feeling slightly out of place, slightly uneasy, slightly worried that he's said too much or not enough or both somehow. 

    When he's with Bridge Four, like he is tonight, it’s better. So, so much better than with any other group of people he's ever been around, and for that, he's eternally grateful.

    But also maybe a little bitter.

    Summary

    Kaladin's friends conspire to make him take a much needed day off. It doesn’t come naturally, but maybe softening is not such a bad idea?
    Slowing down means learning things about himself he never knew before.

    Summary

    Holding a child in his arms felt right to Kaladin. The weight of his daughter, her warmth, her small arms thrown gently around his neck; all these things grounded him. Parenting was, he had decided, his real purpose, to nurture and teach and love. It was natural. Older brothers always grew up, and they became fathers.

    Kaladin adopts a rather unusual child.

    Summary

    "Adolin Kholin was very good at patterns.
    He could read an opponent’s stance in a heartbeat, predict the flow of a duel before blades ever crossed. He noticed when a tailor altered a seam by half a finger-width, when a horse favored one leg, when someone entered a room carrying more weight than they should.
    So it took him embarrassingly little time to notice this.
    Kaladin laughed differently depending on the cause."

    or

    Adolin discovers he really wants to be able to make Kaladin laugh, and he might just succeed.

    Summary

    Kaladin gets caught out in the Everstorm during a battle. Leshwi saves his life when she could easily have taken him off the field for good.

    And then... she just keeps saving him. And Kaladin saves her. And something grows between them that's more than mutual respect and honor. Something that might jeopardize all the oaths he currently stands on.

    For even if they're on opposite sides of a war, how can he try to kill someone he loves?

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Go reread Chapter 17 for the best damn ideological clash, political drama, and continuation of Kaladin's character development in Oathbringer. You'll thank me later, future Erin.

    The sadness, the despair, the fear - she was the pillar. If she couldn't be stable, if she couldn't hold them up the way she was supposed to, it would all collapse.

    Summary

    The Lion sounds terribly sad when he turns to Peter and asks, as soft as a lion can manage, “Son of Adam, are you certain?”

    Peter isn’t.

    Peter is more unsure and afraid and sick to his stomach than he has ever been in his life, including when Dad left, including the air raids, including yesterday afternoon when he pushed the Wolf off his chest with shaking, blood-slicked hands.

    But he nods anyway, because it’s for his brother. Because it’s Peter’s job to look out for him—for all of them. And he will. He is.

    (or, someone else takes edmund's place on the stone table.)

    He can’t perform alchemy anymore.

    The one thing he was skilled at, what people valued him for, killed over him for is just gone.

    And Ed can’t think of a single thing that he could do to make up for that loss of worth.

    Ed goes back to Resembool with Al, but readjusting after everything is harder than he thought it would be.
