    Summary

    “Perhaps this is her way of trying to be young—by courting a man older than the Heralds themselves. At least no one can say that Jasnah does things by halves. But then, no one ever has.”

    OR

    Jasnah is tired. Wit is being his usual self. Things escalate from there.

    Summary

    Pre Rhythm of War: Jasnah and Wit's first kiss. Canon compliant. It's soft and it's fluffy and a little dramatic in places (bc Wit) but it's /what they deserved/!!!

    'Counter to the vicious rumours and harsh jibes, Jasnah was still human. She did not experience lust the same as others that she knew. But she was also not a frozen husk of a woman, devoid of need, or want for companionship and comfort.

    A part of her longed for this connection with another person, this intimacy, this want that she increasingly found only with him.

    He was dangerous, yes, but he made her feel safe. He made mock of everyone around him, but for her he made sense, and certainty, of things she’d never thought to understand. He was a roamer, a drifter, a wanderer, untethered and bound. But he was hers.'

    Summary

    ! RHYTHM OF WAR SPOILERS !

    Set pre Rhythm of War, probably fairly early on in Jasnah and Wit's foray into romantic territory (though tbh they're early on in RoW, so this is probably like...a month before or something). Anyway. Jasnah takes a moment to herself to Think Deep Thoughts about the world. Wit joins her and they Think Deep Thoughts together. Honestly it's just them vibing with each other for the whole fic because I get a serious kick out of that aspect of their dynamic and I really enjoy writing it. I don't know how else to sell this to you. I feel like at this point if you're here you're here for good. So enjoy.

    "Jasnah was respected, certainly.

    She might even be loved, by her family, whom she loved deeply in turn.

    But she was rarely liked. And seldom wanted.

    When the impenetrable tides of the Cosmere pushed someone towards her like Wit, though? Someone who not only seemed to actually like and want her, but also understand her? Well, then she was only human.

    Human, and lonely. So lonely. Craving things others did not seem to believe she actually wanted."

    Summary

    Jasnah is dying and Wit goes a little bit feral as a treat. AKA: Wit realises he's in love with Jasnah via the power of terror. AKA: Wit discovers he can pine while in a relationship because he’s just That Dramatic.

    Someone makes another attempt on Jasnah's life within her chamber of Urithiru. Wit realises he's willing to do whatever it takes to save her. Even if that means risking his own life.

    'On a list of things Jasnah hated, assassins were definitely in the top five.

    She felt that was reasonable. They had killed her father. They had killed her brother. They had attempted to kill her multiple times. They had threatened everyone she loved, at one time or another.

    And they were also responsible for the large bolt currently protruding from her chest.'
