Tragically, Raboniel would've treated Navani better than Gavilar ever did

[gal-palanaeum]

Mine by Wyndle

Rated Mature, 7000 words, Navani/Raboniel Set during Rhythm of War. THEORETICALLY it’s canon-compliant. Just gayer. After several failed attempts, The Pursuer sends men to bring him Navani, believing Kaladin will come to the Queen’s aid if she’s in danger. Raboniel takes issue with this, and refuses to allow them to take Navani.

“You will tell him that Navani is mine. If he may claim that Windrunner, then I claim her. He will not touch her. He will not send men to take her from me. He will not so much as think of her or utter her name without my knowledge and consent. She is mine, and I will send every one of his worthless soldiers back to Braize screaming if that is what it takes to make that known throughout this tower.”

Happy Fanfic Friday! Since Mother's day is coming up this weekend, why not enjoy a fic about a certain mother getting some much-needed stress relief...

Oh, Dear Rushu... by whoreship

Rated Mature, 2000 words, Navani/Raboniel (off-screen)

Rushu's back hurts, and even though the other ardents are more than happy to give her massages, she wonders if there is a better solution. In the process, she even manages to catch Raboniel's attention with her new invention.

Teen-rated excerpt below the cut:

The one thing that sort of worked to assuage her pains was massage. Sometimes, Neshan’s wards would pound her back, massaging her poor shoulder and neck muscles, but Rushu couldn’t ask them to pound her back all the time. They had research to be doing! Rushu understood that to her core; she wanted so badly to get back to her own research after all. There was no way she would want to prevent someone else from getting to their own research.

She continued to live like this for a while, always thinking that she’d eventually do something about it. But one of the last times Queen Navani — Rushu still called her the Queen in her head, even though, under Raboniel’s command, the Queen was technically just another researcher now — had been able to talk to her, she’d actually asked Rushu if she was doing alright. She’d said that she’d noticed that Rushu wasn’t feeling well, and actually encouraged her to take more breaks.

And making Queen Navani worry was out of the question. Not only was it embarrassing, it was just storming weird to have the Queen stress about her well-being. (She worried about plenty else, to be sure, such as whether an experiment would work out or if a shipment of brand new equipment would arrive on time. But she was usually far too busy to worry about her dear Rushu.) Rushu resolved to make sure that her problems wouldn’t trouble the Queen any further — the Queen had enough on her mind, what with talking to the spren of the tower and coordinating with the Windrunner’s resistance efforts, in addition to doing research for the Fused (and stalling for time). I’ll just have to research how to treat this by myself, and then maybe I can make a fabrial that can massage my back for me, she thought to herself, rolling up the sleeves of her loose ardent’s robe (which, of course, immediately fell back down again around her wrists).

She immediately got to work, sketching and scribbling with some paper and pencils, pitching ideas to herself as quickly as she tossed them out. What if I made a machine that had fists, or hammers, and made it rhythmically punch my back? she thought.

Me during 3 Stormlight Archive books: Dalinar x Navani are my OTP

Me reading Stormlight 4: Navani and Raboniel are my new OTP, I'm sorry Dalinar.

why is brandon sanderson so invested in navani x dalinar when navani x raboniel is right there and infinitely more compelling

Oil and Water

Navani stared at the Towerlight sphere, and she felt compelled to correct one thing.

"Oil and water aren't opposites."

"Of course they are," Raboniel said. "This is a central tenant of philosophy. They cannot mix, but must remain ever separated."

"Just because something doesn't mix, doesn't make them opposite," Navani said. "Sand and water don't mix either, and you wouldn't call them opposites. That's beside the point. Oil and water can mix, if you have an emulsifier."

"I do not know this word."

"It's a kind of binding agent, Ancient One," Navani said, standing. If her things were still in here ... yes, over at the side of the room she found a crate, holding simple materials for experiments.

She made up a vial with some oil and water, adding some stumpweight sap extract as a simple emulsifier. She shook the resulting solution, and it handed it to Raboniel. The Fused took it, and held it up, waiting for the oil and water to separate. But of course they didn't.

"Oil and water mix in nature all the time," Navani said. "Sow's milk has fat suspended in it, for example."

"I ... have accepted ancient philosophy as fact for too long, I see," Raboniel said. "I call myself a scholar, but today I feel a fool."

"Everyone has holes in their knowledge. There is no shame in ignorance. In any case, oil and water aren't opposites."

Rhythm of War, Chapter 61: Oil and Water

[Picture ID: Caitlyn stands in the rain, asking "what about us?" Vi looks briefly over her shoulder, looking forlorn. "Oil and water," she says, sounding resigned, "wasn't meant to be."]

What Your Preferred Femslash Cosmere Ships Say About You

Happy Femslash February! I've done these "what your preferred ships" say lists before, if you'd like to check out the old ones: [Kaladin ships, Navani ships, Jasnah ships; also Moash ships by @cosmereplay]

But for now, let's judge you (yes, you!) based on your favorite femslash ships.

Vin x Shallan You are bold, inventive, daring. You don't play by the rules--not of canon, not of time, not of space. You don't let anything stop you, and you are all the happier for it. Good for you, tbh!

Navani x Ialai You may have complained in the tags that I left this ship out of my previous Navani ships post and you know what, you were right. Let these two old ladies fuck!

Marasi x Moonlight You may write fanfic where Marasi joins the Ghostbloods after all, or maybe you have Moonlight leave them to be with Marasi. Either way, you saw the sparks between them and you're running with it.

Ranette x Jaxy It's not like you can let the only (?) canon lesbian ship not get love! Not when it's gun lesbians!

Sarene x Eshen You look at an early, barely-any-women work of Sanderson and you think, "You know what would fix this? Gay sex."

Shallan x Veil It's about the longing. It's about the inability to physically exist in the same space together. It's about the self-acceptance.

Cord x Rysn You've either read Dawnshard or you've seen literally any art of these two.

Raboniel x Navani You don't need your femslash ships to be "sweet" or "loving" or "healthy." You see some twisted devotion and erotic violence and say "Sign me the HELL up."

Transfem Kaladin x Leshwi You have a brilliant and beautiful mind.

Yumi x Shallan I don't know that the shippers for this exist...but now that I've said it, you're thinking about it, right? They're gonna sit on a bench and talk about the beautiful women they see. They're gonna talk art. They're gonna be bi4bi. You see it now. You're welcome.

Day 29: And then I found you

Rated Teen, Raboniel/Navani, Major RoW spoilers (drawn heavily from chapters 89 and 97 of Rhythm of War) Cross posted on ao3

The Rhythm of War had changed something in the human woman. “Raboniel, negotiate with me, help me. Let’s ignore Odium and join forces,” Navani begged, trying desperately to speak to Command. 

Raboniel listened. She truly listened. Hearing the Rhythm of War for the first time had made something new resonate inside Raboniel, too. It was proof that there could be an emulsifier between Odium and Honor. 

Raboniel wondered if that emulsifier could be Navani herself. 

The years of war and deepening insanity had nearly made Raboniel give up hope, but then she had found Navani Kholin. Her way of approaching a problem, her dedication and focus, was something incredibly precious and important. The woman was a scientific genius the likes of which she had never known. 

She knew Navani had been unsuccessful in her efforts to find a bond for the Sibling. It couldn’t have gone better for Raboniel had she planned it herself. Navani was trapped and desperate, and both of them knew it.

And yet, Navani still held a power that even Raboniel couldn’t fully understand, and when there was something she couldn’t understand, she knew she needed to learn how to control it. Navani's genius had provoked a passion in Raboniel that made her give her the title, Voice of Lights. But it didn’t seem enough. Her passion wasn't sated. It made Raboniel want to keep her by her side, forever. To be her Voice. 

After she left the room, she listened to Navani fail to move the Sibling into action. And yet, within hours Raboniel heard reports of Navani working feverishly on some plates. The woman was a harmony of passion and reason; perfectly balanced. She did not let her passion overwhelm her, and neither did she completely restrain her passions.

Raboniel could feel her victory over Navani was imminent; and yet, a traitorous part of her wanted to keep their discoveries away from Odium. A small part of her held a secret: she knew He was no longer balanced. 

Perhaps Navani was right. Perhaps they could work together to end the war, just not in the way Navani imagined.

. . .

Raboniel watched her daughter’s soul burn through. She had anticipated feeling nothing, but the sadness she’d thought would be eternal burned through her as well, and she cried one last time for her little Essu. 

She stood, wiping her eyes. This would be a new beginning for them both.

“What now?” Navani asked. 

“Once I have confirmation, I will report this to Odium himself,” Raboniel said to Satisfaction, taking a step closer to Navani. “I would like you here when that happens. After all, you were the mind behind this incredible discovery.”

Within moments, she knew her daughter was dead permanently, and she sang a version of the Song of Prayer to beg Odium’s presence. 

A white light enveloped both mortals as they were given access to Odium’s vision. Rayse stood tall in his golden robes, appearing as the same human form she had followed and worshipped since before she’d become a Fused. Seeing him helped to strengthen her own passion. He was a god she could no longer believe in.

RABONIEL, YOU HAVE IMPORTANT NEWS THAT WILL CHANGE THE OUTCOME OF THE WAR.

“Yes,” Raboniel said, and bowed. “The Voice of Lights has made the incredible discovery of anti-Voidlight. I used this dagger, powered by an anti-Voidlight fabrial, to kill a Fused permanently. With this knowledge, we will be able to create anti-Stormlight. We will be able to kill Radiants permanently. No more endless cycles of spren returning to new human hosts–we will be able to win. Permanently.” She watched Navani out of the corner of her eyes, and saw exactly what she wanted to see. Fear. Rage. Betrayal. Navani knew it was her fault this was happening.

Raboniel knelt to Odium, and she proffered the dagger towards him, resting in her outstretched hands.

THIS IS GOOD NEWS, INDEED, Odium said. He stepped forward and reached for the dagger, as Raboniel knew he would. He could not resist any amount of power.

In an instant, Navani leapt forward. With a speed powered by rage, she grabbed the dagger and stabbed it directly into Odium’s stomach.

Light shone from the gaping wound, and Rayse screamed. Power coursed through her body like the winds of Braize. Raboniel’s eyes closed, and she fell, covering her eyes. The vision ended abruptly, plunging her into darkness.

Then, there was a stillness.

Raboniel could feel she was on her hands and knees on a carpeted floor. She opened her eyes and saw that she was back in the study. The dagger was gone. Navani’s body lay beside her, her eyes burned out.

Had Odium killed her? Or was it possible her plans had succeeded?

Hesitantly at first, she sang the Song of Prayer, and felt the Connection between them. Voidlight flowed into her gemheart, and Raboniel felt an unmistakable touch in her mind. 

Balance, at long last.

Together, they sang to Exultation. The Voice of Lights had become Odium. With Navani's genius, they would win the war, and then they could be together forever.
