Summary
AU where Robert has powers his dad forced him to suppress in his youth. Upon stepping into the role of Mecha Man Blue, Robert runs himself into the ground physically, mentally, and financially to uphold his family’s legacy. It’s what he was born and raised for, after all. He can’t afford to fuck it up. He’s nothing outside of it. His dad was so keen on drilling that into his head.
…with that kind of pressure on him, is it any wonder he starts to act out? It really shouldn’t be surprising that he needs to let off some steam, some charge, so he doesn’t lose his cool doing real hero work. Call him a hypocrite. Call him a supervillain in a hero’s suit. Robert’s long since past the point of caring.
It’s just a shame he’s working so closely with people who know the hallmarks of a real villain a lot better than he would like them to. He’ll have to keep his work and his fun separate, for the team’s sake if nothing else. They mean a lot to him. He genuinely wants to help them succeed in their redemption arcs.
But he has no intention of stopping. Not when he’s finally back in his prime.
Not for anyone.

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?

Summary
Odium's army conquers Alethkar at frightening speed, and while Kaladin fails to convince his parents to join him in Urithiru, they see the wisdom in sending Oroden back to safety with him. Kaladin then has to spend the next year balancing his military duties with raising a brother young enough to be his own son, made harder by the politics of an Alethkar finally accepting its exile invading his every spare moment.
---
“Odium’s army is going to make it here soon, probably within the week. Our army won’t make it in time. Relis’s force is too far west of here, and Sheler’s is too far north— not that I’d trust that bastard to protect anything other than his own skin, anyway,” Kaladin said.
Lirin’s face was pinched as he walked to the dinner table, and Kaladin joined him.
“Please, come back with me. I couldn’t keep Tien safe,” Kaladin had to swallow around a lump in his throat. “I couldn’t keep Tien safe, but I can still keep you and little Oroden safe.”
