King of Wishful Thinking by notpinklemonade for chappellroansgf
Fandoms: Stormlight Archive - Brandon Sanderson, Cosmere - Brandon Sanderson
28 Apr 2026

Summary
“I’ve never wanted anything, any person. That is, I should say I’ve never wanted… until now.”
Emotions Elhokar couldn’t - wouldn't - name flickered across Wit’s face as he took slow, measured steps forward. He stopped just inches away, staring down into Elhokar’s eyes as if daring him to pull away first. When Wit finally spoke, his voice was low and rough.
“And what is it, my King, that you desire? What is it that you, of all people, believe you can’t have?”
* * *
Elhokar finds himself on the brink of a betrothal and he’s finally falling in love. The only issue is, he’s fallen for the wrong person, and his relationship is crumbling as a result. Now he’s faced with a decision: do his duty as King, marry Aesudan and produce an heir, or accept that he’s not the person everyone expects him to be, and allow himself to have the only thing he’s ever truly wanted.

Summary
“I don’t want you by my side as my Wit,” Elhokar said. “At least not in that sense of the word.”
Wit hummed. “No? Then whatever other sense could there be?”
“You know what…” Elhokar mumbled.
Wit just raised an eyebrow at him and tilted his head down, bringing their faces impossibly closer. “I don’t think I do. I’m afraid you’re going to have to tell me.”
Elhokar groaned and tilted his head back. “Are you seriously going to make me ask the question? Aren’t I your King?”
“Believe me, Elhokar. You will always be my King.”

To celebrate Elhokar bonding a spren, the royal family decides to host a celebratory gala.
And with his mother and both of his cousins having a date, Elhokar feels embarrassed. How is it that everyone has a date but him, the King?
As a last resort, Elhokar asks the only person he believes won’t judge him, Wit, to help him find a date.
Wit, being the
worstbest Wit his King could have ever asked for, does exactly that.Too bad the one Elhokar truly wants is right in front of him. And when he finally realizes it… it’s too late.
Or is it?

Summary
“Hi. I’m Moash.”
“I am Szeth,” Szeth intoned, dully wondering if he had died and ended up in some strange afterlife. Was there even any point in asking who this man was? In the past week alone, he had been visited by Dalinar; Lift; the Herald Shush; the Stormfather; the ghost of Gavilar Kholin; and a mysterious being from a place known as ‘Scadrial’, who insisted that the solution to all Szeth’s problems was to kill some nobles. Master Thaidakar knew nothing of his pain.
Szeth receives yet another visitor in prison.

Summary
“Oh no. No, no, no,” Adolin said. “You’ve been listening. You were listening in to our conversations about sex. What the hell is wrong with you?” His voice dropped lower. “I swear… if you’re planning to turn this into some grand magical tale you’ll spin for court intrigue or whatever—”
“I’m not,” Wit snapped. He sounded almost… insulted. “I’m not going to mock this. I just—”
“I believe he would like to volunteer,” a smooth, cheerful voice said.
Both men turned.
Wit’s entire face crumpled like someone had just shoved him off a cliff. “Design!” he hissed, eyes wide. “You’ve done it again! Spoiled my entire monologue!”
⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹ ⊹˙⋆ ⛧ ⋆˙⊹
After Adolin discovers Kaladin’s secret fantasy, it takes time to help him see it’s nothing shameful—that Adolin loves him completely, and may even share the same desire.
But finding someone they can trust with something so intimate proves harder than expected.
Until someone neither of them had considered volunteers.
