(More) Wheel of Time recs!
Jan. 6th, 2022 02:32 pmI'm still going through the Wheel of Time tag for some of my favorite fanworks! I previously posted my favorites here and here.
I have not read the books, so I did not include any fics that required book knowledge to enjoy. There are spoilers ahead for season 1 of the show.

After more than two years, Moiraine has returned. Siuan is reminded of who they are, and who they've been.
1x06 missing scene. Angsty smut.
Penance byLostBerryQueen
not rated, 704 words
“You asked if you had been forgiven.” Siuan’s hand trailed leisurely down Moiraine’s body. She let it linger in the small of her back. “I think you still have a penance to pay.”
Missing scene from episode 1x06. Scorching hot.
Something Bitter In The Sweetness byKapua
rated E, 4.1k words
Siuan leads Moiraine inside, and she thinks her heart breaks all over again when she sees the way that Moiraine won't look at her. She knows where Moiraine's mind has gone, knows the darkness that is settling over her and threatening to drag her down into its depths, and she vows to do everything in her power to try to hold it back even a little while longer. To convince Moiraine that she is still every bit as worthy no matter whether she can channel or not.

Siuan goes to Moiraine in Tear after the finale.
Post 1x08 angst, plus art and smut.
The Night Is All That's Left byKapua
rated T, 6.5k words
"Please don't hate me."
Lan frowns down at Moiraine as she speaks. He might still be angry with her—infuriated, even—but he could never dream of hating her. She is the other half of his soul, his heart made manifest in flesh and blood outside of his body. Seeing her like this is more painful than any injury he could sustain to his own person.

Three nights following the season finale.
Hurt/comfort focused on Moiraine after that season finale. Also includes some very good Lan & Moiraine and Nynaeve & Moiraine feelings, plus art!
Like You Drown Oceans byLettersfromLaika

Before, during, and after. Little snippets and filler scenes of Nynaeve and Lan throughout Season 1 of The Wheel of Time.
Missing scenes with Nynaeve during season 1, plus speculation for what comes next. I love how this continues to build on her relationship with Lan, and on how it builds on her character as a whole.

"This day was almost over, and thank the Light for that. Lan hadn't had much time to process what had happened in the cave, thrown straight from miracle into clean-up, but his body certainly hadn't forgotten. Weariness sank its teeth in his bones."
Post 1x04. Pining and haircare.

Two drabbles for two people left with silence where there used to be sound.
On losing their connection to the Source.
Ceremony byatarynnosaurus
Lan/Moiraine, rated E, 4.8k words
With the synchronicity of battle, they inhale, a tension pulling their bodies apart, just so. In that brief space of suspended time and distance, they take the chance to bare each other. Then as they exhale, their bodies meet again, skin to skin. The sudden bright feeling of it is almost scalding, after the indifferent barrier of their clothing, but she wraps her arms around him at once, gathering him to her, drawing him as close as she can while they remain within their own bodies.
Post 1x04. Thank-the-Light-we're-alive sex.
Coat Made of My Leather byBurgerBurgerBurger
Alanna/Liandrin, rated E, 8.1k words
Heat blooms across Liandrin's cheeks. Alanna's perennial mocking gnaws at her stomach like a dog with a bone, and Liandrin counts herself a fool for letting this conversation last as long as it has.
Episode 1x05. Beautifully characterized, and I love that they have their own complicated relationship that isn't about Moiraine (except for the times when it is about Moiraine).
Some Wheels Break byofredandgold
Original Character, rated G, 1.6k words.
She’s in training to become Aes Sedai, and Aes Sedai are women.
Everyone knows that.
(Or: growing up transgender when you don’t even know what that is.)
A nice bit of worldbuilding for such a strictly gendered magic system.

Loial & Nynaeve, rated G, 3k words
There was an ogre in the White Tower gardens.
1x05 missing scene, on how Nynaeve and Loial met. There are not enough fanworks about Loial yet, and this one is fantastic.
To The End byatarynnosaurus
Lan & Moiraine, rated T, 4.7k words
'A quip in her mouth, and a smirk on her lips, she had taken his hand in hers, squeezing and slowly pulling back. Her face had fallen when she had stared at her own hand and found his blood staining it. Blood she had just bidden to return to his body. From a wound she had willed to heal. She had stared at that hand for far too long, her body rigid, her face set, and they had all noticed it.'
Post 1x08. Hurt/comfort.
Woe is We byatarynnosaurus
Lan & Siuan, rated G, 3.7k words
'Lan bowed deeply as he entered the study, hands clasped behind his back in a traditional military pose, eyes lowered respectfully, “Amyrlin,” he murmured quietly.
“Oh bugger that,” Siuan snapped, kicking the chair beside her to angle it towards him, “There’s no-one here but us, so leave your formality and arse kissing at the door and come take a seat, will you?"'
A nice look at the relationship between Lan & Siuan, brought together by their shared mission and their love for Moiraine.
