Fanfic - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy

[cosmere_play he/him, she/her. Go nuts]

My first fanfic ended up accidentally becoming a novel! I hope people will read and enjoy it. The focus is on Kaladin working on healing from PTSD and depression in the context of a relationship with Adolin, and later, Shallan. It's got some hurt but a lot of comfort, and humour too

Nooooo my to-read list is following me onto the Shard...  

I'm interested - thanks for writing it! The world needs more long-form Shakadolin fic in it.

I hope you enjoy it! I think it breaks down pretty easily into smaller chapters and story arcs so hopefully it's not too daunting

Finally getting around to reading this - just a couple of chapters in but I'm loving how you are handling the transition into the relationship - I'm finding Shallan's processing of things really interesting/compelling.

Thank you, I hope you enjoy it!

I've written a little epilogue to FTE as a separate fic to go with this beautiful image that @lamaery made.

I've only gone done and written a novella that fits between chapter 22 and 23 of FTE. The focus is Rlain/Renarin but Kaladin, Shallan, and Adolin all have POV chapters.

I am here for bisexual disaster dandy Adolin Kholin. 

Reading your fic now. 

[GroundPetrel]

You have captured the spirit of Adolin "Hey, do you need a big-brother hug?  Anyone?" Kholin, disaster dandy extraordinaire. 

On chapter 3, liking what I'm reading so far. 

[GroundPetrel]

You've also nailed Dalinar, particularly his parenting skills, or lack thereof.  This is good writing!

Oh that's great! Thanks for reading. It's so exciting to get feedback!

hey, your writing is solid and I'm a sucker for anything Adolin related.
