Previous / Next Masterpost IT'S DONNIE TIME /just in case, this is happening on the next day/
A modern day AU where Clive is a lonely researcher and Jason works part time at a dumpling soup shop and at an office supply store.
Clive only goes out for three things - food, office supplies, and basic necessities. Somehow he runs into Jason doing all three of these. And somehow, the chef/server who will let Clive rant about his research, coworkers, the university (all while looking very interested), remembers his name and says hi to him every time they see each other.
I'M CRYING THIS IS SO GOOD!!
What The Hell Were You Thinking?!

Okay so, I was up till midnight writing this in my notes and I have decided to post it here. Enjoy and have a lovely day 😃
TW!!: Drowning and Vomiting
Context: Kai has Aquaphobia (Fear of drowning) and attempts to conquer his fears
------------------------------------
Kai stared deeply into his glistening reflection. The wavy, clear yet almost blue liquid almost taunting him. Mocking him in a loud silence type of way.
No one was around. It was just Kai and his own fear. The fear that has been dragging him backwards his whole life.
He wanted to change that. Kai was tired of feeling a sharp pain through his body. He wanted to end what seemed to feel like a never ending cycle of trauma.
He turned away from the water and softly closed his eyes. Kai felt unsteady and absolutely terrified, yet he desperately desired for these feelings to subside afterwards. As long as he pushed himself, he would overcome it, right?
After taking in a deep breath, Kai leaned himself back, letting the gravity grasp ahold of him and yank him down. His muscles tightened as he braced for the cold feeling that was now embracing him and pulling him deeper and deeper.
Kai felt his surroundings becoming denser. Flashing images replayed in his mind. Kai had no idea where they were from but he could never get rid of them. He began to moves his arms in attempt to pull himself back up to the surface. The pressure on his chest increased by the seconds. It was getting harder and harder to hold in his breath.
Kai's movements became more desperate as he thrashed his arms around, but had no avail. He struggled to hold onto the oxygen he had intake before. His mouth gaped open, releasing the tightness upon his chest. The sensation of slight relief was immediately replaced with a burning feeling as Kai's lungs began to fill with water.
Kai was nearly on the verge of unconsciousness. Just as his surroundings seemed to be fading away around him, it sounded as if there was a plunge in a far distance. Then it all vanished.
--------
Everything was very sudden. A huge shock of life hit Kai abruptly. Kai jolted up with an aggressive force and hurled up an excessive amount of water. The area around himself seemed very hazy and fuzzy.
A firm hand gently pushed down on Kai's shoulder, softly forcing him to lay back down. Kai slowly gazed up at the figure that peered down over him as his vision slowly cleared up.
"What the hell were you thinking?!" The voice became louder and started to match the face that appeared in view clearer.
Shit. It was Cole.
Kai fumbled with finding the right words. "I...don't know," he gasped for air. Man was his lungs on fire. "I thought maybe.."
"Maybe what?!" Cole cut him off, "That you were going to risk losing your own life??"
"No," Kai managed to steady his own breathing, "maybe I wouldn't be..so scared anymore."
Cole stared into Kai's auburn eyes. Kai took notice of Cole's expression now that he could see him clearly. Cole was not irritated or angry at all. He was more distressed than anything. Kai also became aware of Cole's hand that was holding his own hand ontop of his abdomen. Cole's thumb gently grazed small circles on the back of Kai's hand. Was it to sooth Kai or himself? Maybe it was to sooth both of them.
"I am okay now, Cole." Kai reassured as he gently squeezed Cole's hand.
Cole hummed slightly. "Yeah. You're just lucky I left lunch to come look for your dumb ass."
Kai weakly chuckled. He felt too tired to move or even react as vibrant as he usually does. He needed a nap.
Cole laid besides Kai, starring up towards the ceiling. "Y'know, there's better ways of getting over your fears than almost drowning yourself."
"Haha, very funny." Kai rolled his eyes.
"I'm serious." Cole looked at Kai again. Taking in all his features and appearance. "If you really want help getting over this fear of yours, I wouldn't mind helping you."
Kai slowly made eye contact with Cole. For a moment, they both felt a strong tingle, almost a shock, between each other. "You mean it?"
"Of course." Cole had a soft smile.
Kai returned the smile back to Cole. "Thank you Cole. But for right now, can we just lay here?"
Cole chuckled. Kai felt his stomach turn with butterflies hearing his laugh.
"I don't mind staying here one bit."
"Good. Cus' I don't mind either."
god this is SO GOOD
I call to you, Lord...
ESHONAI IS OK!! I have been on tumblr (finals!) so I just saw this! I’m so happy you added more, your writing and world building are amazing!
While reading this I was reminded of the funny idea I had that was the original inspiration for the bear on her hammer and made me want to draw the armor. (Spoiler warning for wor just in case)
It’s basically that when Szeth first try’s to assassinate Dalinar, after the battle between szeth, Adolin, Dalinar, and Kaladin. Hesina and maybe Lirin somehow witnesses szeth and kaladins one on one portion at the end. Of course before Szeth runs away Hesina gos full mama bear and chases Szeth back into the palace while lirin goes all surgeon/worried dad mode on Kaladin.
Here’s the vision. The terrifying assassin in white is flying through the castle straight toward the kholins!
Oh no he must haven't defeated Kaladin and is back to finish the job! But nope he wins past them and quickly turns a corner.
A couple seconds later Hesina in full shardplate and hammer, glowing and moving the freaking stone under her and she goes “Where is he.” In that terrifying voice that warrants a close up on the eyes.
I mean at that point you just point to where Szeth went and hope you soil your pants! Of course Hesina gives a polite thank you and she’s back to running and yelling about how Szeth will pay for what he did to her precious baby boy Kal! (The more embarrassing the nickname the better)
Bonus points if this is most of the kholins first interaction with Hesina and even Shallon and Adolin don’t recognize her at first with the helmet on.
So yea this is what gave me the idea for all the bear elements and to design the armor. Well this and the way she pushed Adolin to get to Kaladin. Although if I’m being honest the “Mom” moment was want inspired me in the first place this idea came while sketching.
More from the Hesina Willshaper AU. Specifically Continued from Here.
while hesina and Lirin were travelling with the band of freed slaves the two were loosely in charge, but decent enough at delegating that other people quickly took on major leadership rules.
erk. gonna need a bunch of ocs
layla, 8th dan before being sold to pay family debts. quartermaster/ house steward role. roughly same age as hesina. worked mostly as a house slave.
she had actually managed to half pay off her slave price, something she gripes about for laughs, she could have bought cool stuff with that money. most of the money came from the child she had, who was sold as a baby, wouldn't be able to find it if she wanted to, and she's not even completely sure she does.
layla is fascinated by different peoples religions, languages, beliefs...she's met people from a surprising number of countries working as a lighteye's servant. mostly self taught reading, hesina teachers her to write. hesina and her talk a lot about religion and philosophy. one of the few people who doesn't put hesina on a pedestal. hesina's first squire.
it seems that the squire rules are different for each order. i'm wildly but confidently headcanoning that willshapers get exactly ten, and they can tangibly feel each squire bond being formed.
willshapers have an interesting relationship to Connection. Connections can free you. Connections can become chains. best to be aware. either side of the willshapers squire bond can break the connection at any time.
(willshapers also have an interesting relationship to Oaths. Oaths can very definitely become chains. they just... i mean oaths still matter, but they don't take breaking them as seriously as some of the orders. circumstances matter. people grow. the spren once vowed not to bond with the singers again, and yet...it's been millenia. The lightspren are thinking. Things have changed.)
they're not freeing people because they made an oath. They made an oath because they chose to free people.
-
Ruush, 5th dahn before being enslaved for refusing to follow orders. One of the only ones with actual military training, though his leg was broken and healed wrong, meaning that he could only train, not fight, until he became hesina's second squire and healed.
Often Lirin's guard. Only 15 years younger than Lirin, but has for sure called him dad. Lirin calls him son and tries not to lecture him too much on being a soldier.
Ruush is mildly bemused by the entire concept of pacifism (Not common among Alethi!) and listens very patiently, with genuine if slightly abstract interest. i mean, you gotta admit, violence does beget violence. wild. anyway, back to work.
Has heard enough stories about Tien and Kaladin that he pretty much thinks of them as his brothers.
When kaladin and him finally meet kal is... mostly cool with that (sure, this might as well happen. can't have too many brothers). but there is significant disagreement over who's oldest.
-
shortly before making it to Urithiru oathgate they run into the listeners. layla and ruush hastily throw up some walls between them while Hesina tries to communicate that she comes in peace. The listeners scramble to get Eshonai to translate.
it takes some time to talk. the translation process with the council of five. mistrust on both sides. lirin gives an impassioned speech about wanting to be free from violence, and some listeners swear they could almost hear the man attuning to the rhythm of hope.
Eshonai gives her plate and blade to Thule before traveling to Urithiru. Venli calls her a fool. The council approves. This might be their one last chance.
Eshonai returns full of enthusiasm. This is it. They could escape. They would still need gems to make the fields grow, but the Neshua Kadal leader women and her mate have been robbing other humans blind while traveling. This could work.
-
Venli presents her own radical idea, storm form, a form of power.
Maybe two thirds of the listeners take the chance on Urithiru.
A third stay on the shattered plains to fight for vengeance to the bitter end.
-
Listeners slightly outnumber human population. People learn quickly that any violence gets randomly duplicated, which Lirin is weirdly smug about. Eshonai spends a lot of time on language lessons.
After sitting down and talking it out, they eventually decide to make a council of ten — 5 humans, 5 listeners. Hesina's lightspren is given the deciding vote if they tie.
They need each other too much to operate separately, even if the place is technically big enough.
Over the course of a month they actually settle into a decent routine. There's some mistrust, but Eshonai manages to explain fairly eloquently why they decided to kill the king, fearing being enslaved by the return of the gods
yeah the humans can get that. we don't really care about the king anyway.
the parshendi were shocked by how brutally and disproportionately the Alethi responded
tell me about it. i once scratched a window and was beaten until i couldn't walk.
Really, things are promising, common ground, willingness to move forward together.
-
Layla draws her own lightspern to much rejoicing, reaching the third oath, so now they can move between the oathgates without worrying about leaving people trapped in Urithiru without Hesina.
Eshenoi swears her own first oath!! even more rejoicing!!! listener and dark eyes going together into the future freely and equally.
if only they could convince Venli's revenge splinter group to join them. of course everyone wants vengeance but... they want to live more. they want to live for more.
the 'stormform' group is going to get themselves killed. and if somehow they don't... fear grows that the songs, the warnings about forms of power — they were for exactly this moment but what are they going to do? attack their own people?
The radiants alternate going out on a few more raids, freeing more slaves. They also bring stolen parchmen now, which they had mostly decided to leave behind in past raids, as they wouldn't really help in their own escapes at all, and everyone felt bad continuing to treat as slaves even if they come with, but they just...stand there. The Listeners are continuously baffled by them.
Some humans think about another few thousand years of their children and their children's children and their children being tenth dahn eternally ... they know humans who are dead behind the eyes and stormfather. If you bred for that...
-
(a storm is coming and things are going to get messy but those who were there will look back on these months and know how important they were. when the lighteyes come and the singers come things will change. but for a moment there was something beautiful and almost pure. and those foundations will matter more than anyone could possibly imagine)

OH THIS IS GOOD 👌👌👌
Lol Blackout :)
(Tap for better quality ^^)
This post by the lovely @fictionalsownme inspired me to draw some more angst featuring these two (/three), after the events of WKM.
The dramaturgical potential is huge! They’re outrightly sad characters of tragedy, with a tragic friendship story, and together, they make the saddest of sad tragedy! And I am actively sad about that.
I would’ve loved to see more of their dynamic, so, I guess that’s what fan art is for!
Lunchbreak 🐈
yep i really spent 18 hours drawing….a lunch table…. tried to hide a lot of little details zoom in for a fun little game of eye spy. don’t know how many eyes are here but you can try counting. haven’t really drawn many backgrounds before but I think my passion for Magnus archives must mean something if I’m spending hours drawing paperwork
Left-handed Ena Dream BBQ fan animation yayyy
