I'm Naeuri, and this is my cosmere blog! It's about 90% reblogs but sometimes I'll say something original in an attempt to make similarly nerdy folks have even a fractionally better day.
As of writing this post, my AO3 has no posted Cosmere fics, but there are no less than two in the works, and it will eventually change. (Edit 4/21/26: I have a few!)
I am a Lightweaver and my spren's name would be Tier List. (Pk;s like a real Lightweaver)
Instead of converting stormlight into useable investiture I convert social interactions into motivation to get through the day, so you're always welcome to DM/Send an Ask/Reblog/Comment!
My spoiler/cw tags:
Ghostbloods/Mistborn Era 3 - #ghostbloods, #mistborn era 3, #ayven
The Fires of December - #fire decemb
Isles of the Emberdark - #isles of the emberdark
Wind and Truth - #wat spoilers
The Lost Metal - #mistborn era 2 spoilers, #tlm spoilers

This is a post for people who have never used ao3 before, and would like to learn! Long post below. Please save it for reference, and share it with your friends!
Archive Of Our Own, aka ao3, is an online repository of fanfiction, and a place where you can find fic, art, and podfic/music for the Cosmere fandom. There are other websites, too, like fanfiction.net, but ao3 is the most commonly used site. Ao3 has no ads and no apps; it's just a browser experience, and it looks good on both phones and desktops.
Imagine it like a library, except that instead of one standard Dewey Decimal system, there's a very small pool of Standard tags, but mostly the tagging system is a loose collaboration. Fic authors add tags to their works to help you find (or avoid!) them. Volunteer tag wranglers at ao3 then gather similar tags together so you can find what you want more easily. The idea is for authors to tag what's in the fic and ONLY what's in the fic. If an author tag spams for "reach" they are in breach of the Terms of Service and will get their wrist slapped! (metaphorically)
There are two ways to find fics: browsing and searching.
Browsing
The link above will take you to the browsing page for the Cosmere metatag on ao3. Fics that have been tagged Cosmere, Stormlight, Mistborn, Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, etc etc, should all show up under that metatag. Browsing allows you to narrow down the appx 4000 Cosmere fics (as of 2026) to a more manageable number for looking through.
Browsing is best when you've already searched for the things you're specifically interested in, and now you're "checking the fridge" to see what's been updated lately. That's because the fics are listed by chronological order by most recently updated, newest at the top. You are most likely to see fics that are actively being written and updated.
Filtering is your friend here! On desktop, on the right side of the page, there is a section called Sort and Filter. On a phone, you must click a button called Filters to access the filtering area.
The three sections are called Include, Exclude, and More Options. Please note that with Ratings you only get one option with Include but multiple options with Exclude. So if you only want General-rated fics, hit Include->Ratings->General. But if you want to find Gen AND Teen fics, go to Exclude->Ratings->Explicit AND Mature.
Every other category, you can choose multiple options. When you click on Warnings it will give you the six standard warnings that every author has to disclose--UNLESS they choose "Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings". So be aware that if a fic has the "Author Chose not to Use", there may be a significant and potentially unpleasant surprise in the story, especially if you are sensitive to any of the standard Warning topics.
"Categories" means relationship categories. If you're looking for a fic with a romantic relationship, you can choose M/M, F/F, M/F, Multi, or Other. If you don't want a romantic relationship in the fic, choose "Gen" (and Other if you're adventurous! There's lots of fun stuff under Other).
When it comes to the Fandoms, Characters, Relationships, and Additional Tags, what will show are the top ten most popular tags under those categories. Yes, right now under Fandoms, "Boku no Hero Academia" shows up and "Isles of the Emberdark" doesn't. It's simply due to the fact that there are more BNHA crossover fics than there are Emberdark fics. But you can still find them! Same with characters, relationships, etc. If you don't see what you're looking for in those checkboxes, do not fear.
"Other tags to Include" will help you on your way. If you are looking FOR a romantic relationship between Evi Kholin and Ialai Sadeas, write "Evi/Ialai" into the box, wait a second, and the wrangled tag "Evi Kholin/Ialai Sadeas" will show up and you can select it. If you're not sure about a spelling, the prompts will likely help you.
Note the slash (/). That denotes a romantic relationship. If you're looking for Evi and Ialai friendship, use the ampersand (&) to search "Evi & Ialai". The wrangled tag "Evi Kholin & Ialai Sadeas" will pop up for you to click on.
Or maybe you're really not into Evi and Ialai. Type the same thing(s) into the Exclude area, and every fic except those ones will show up.
More Options gives you the choice to include or exclude crossovers with other fandoms, include or exclude whether or not a fic is completed, sort fics by length and by date updated. Note: If you really want to avoid spoilers for, say, Wind and Truth, sorting by "Date Updated->from 2010 to (date Wind and Truth preview chapters started coming out)" will GUARANTEE no spoilers. You can also sort by excluding "Spoilers for Book 05: Wind and Truth" but because tags are author-submitted, there can be errors.
Search Within Results will get you results pulled from author names, tags, and summaries (not from the fics themselves).
Search
Search is great if you know exactly what you're looking for. The link above will take you to the general Search area. It's very similar to the Filter area in Browse, except it doesn't have an Exclude option. So, it works best when you are looking for something.
Say you want a fic where Szeth and Rushu are friends, or maybe in a QPR, but not romantic. You would search Fandom: "Stormlight Archive - Brandon Sanderson", Categories: "Gen, Other", and Relationships: "Rushu (Stormlight Archive) & Szeth-son-son-Vallano". Remember you can start typing in a character name, and wrangled options will appear.
The Additional Tags field is the perfect place to enter your favourite tropes, situations, and AUs. "There was only one bed" is a tag. So is "Kaladin (Stormlight Archive) needs a hug". So is "Alternate Universe - Sports"!
Secret Ways of Finding Great Fics
What if you've already read all of the Rlainarin fics? What if you know you like rarepairs but you don't know who to search for next?
Here's a secret - find an author that you like (let's say Rhythm_of_Lesbianism for example). Click on their name, and there will be a list of the fandoms they've written for. Click on Cosmere and there will a list of all the fics they've written for the Cosmere! If you click "Works" at the left side, you will get a list of fics plus filtering options. You can also click "Gifts" to read the gift fics that others have written for them, and "Bookmarks" for the fics that they've saved. Travelling through one writer's bookmarks and gifts to discover another great writer is a fun experience and I highly recommend you try it out!
One more tip - Browsing "Cosmere" as a metatag will get every fic in the Cosmere; however, searching "Cosmere" will only get fics that have specifically tagged "Cosmere". If the author tagged Stormlight but not Cosmere it won't show up.
Go have fun reading some Cosmere fanfic!
That's the basics, and hopefully it'll get you started. If you want more info about searching and browsing, click here for ao3's own help topic.
For more advanced searchers: did you know ao3 has hidden search operators?
If you have any questions, or want help with a specific search, feel free to send me an ask or a DM! I'm happy to help you find a fic you'll love.
Ik this is probably the fifteenth time you've seen someone say this but we need more qprs in fandom space. Instead of shipping we'll call it canoeing and we'll make it just as popular. Please I need this ok
This is a multifandom prompt event for transfeminine characters starting nov 1st and extending to nov. 30th. Above are the prompts, with information below and plain text prompts at the very bottom. Please read the rules/FAQ before participating!
I got the idea for this because of the glaring lack of transfemininity in fandom spaces, and since I'm not transfem, most of these prompts were summited through my ask box by trans women and fems, though anyone can participate. As for the event...
This is a multifandom event. You can create about characters from any kind of media, your or your friends OCs, RPF is not just fine but encouraged.
However, please do not write about Harry Potter, or anything by JKR or Neil Gaiman. Don't argue with me, I'm happy to explain, but I will just block you if you're a dick about it.
The prompts are not inherently NSFW. If you want to write anything of that nature, you're welcome to, unless you're under 18. I already elaborated, here
You can make any kind of work, from fanfic to art to whatever else you have in mind, but when writing this I had fanfic in mind.
Also, this is an event about transfemininity in fandom. You're welcome to write about nonbinary, genderfluid, multigender, agender, you name it characters. But because this event is called transfember, it will be assumed that those characters are transfem in some way (this does not mean the character has to like that term, either, it's just the one i'm using).
You do not have to write for every day. There are a total of 41 prompts and one month dedicated to daily works. I'd prefer if things were published on the day they're prompted to be, but if it has to be out early or late, that's OK also.
Please upload all fics to this collection on ao3.
If you have any questions or think I didn't cover anything, go ahead and take advantage of my ask box!
Tag me in whatever you post to tumblr so I can reblog it!

Innocent animal shifter black trans girl protag + tortured vampire desperately wants her but fears their desire would taint her

"Average Bridge Crew loses 20% of its members per Bridge run" factoid is actually a statistical error. Average Bridge Crew loses 80% of its members per Bridge Run. But Bride 4, who had zero causalities for the past ten runs are an outlier adn should not have been counted
[ID: A digital illustration of Kaladin by @pekgna. The portrait, lovingly detailed and almost realistic, shows him from the collarbones up, facing left. He’s holding his right hand to his face, thumb to his jaw, two fingertips on his forehead and two across his nose, as if he has a headache and also needs to hide his blush. He looks forward, brown eyes focused on the distance, and his lips are toying with the idea of smiling. His hair is pulled back in a low tail, and two wisps of hair fall to the sides of his face, caressing his cheek. Surprise, it’s a gif! Little chibi Adolin and Shallan hop and skip adorably around Kaladin’s head, either unknowing, uncaring, or possibly even revelling in the psychic damage they’re causing Kaladin as he can’t help but think of them. End ID.]
Cryptics (Liespren) are really interesting to me because they seem like they'd more reasonably be called Understandingspren or Sciencespren. Pattern calls anything that's even somewhat subjectively false to him a "lie," and Design makes herself massive boobs just because she can. Like these folks are obsessed with finding the bounds of what is real and doeable and classifying them into a binary. Binaryspren??? Idk I just think they're super fuckin neat.
To my memory they represent “the fundamental underlying mathematics that shape all natural phenomena in the universe” which I’ve always found fascinating. I like that the Spren that represent absolute mathematical truth are the ones that bond the order whose entire calling surrounds lies while the Spren clouded in mist with no true form are the ones to bond the order whose mission is to seek truth. I’m fond of the idea of symbiotic learning in the Nahel bond

three things i would change about the stormlight archive which would fix a solid chunk of my issues with it:
make venli the bondsmith of urithiru
make jasnah into the world's first ethical dictator. okay to be more serious what i mean is she should be more like the hit scifi protagonist romana in the hit scifi audio series gallifrey, that is to say, a social reformer from a privileged background who is unexpectedly handed the reins to the corrupt society she wants to reform. however, because said society is corrupt, it is difficult to impossible to reform it and so her attempts to reform alethi law and society becomes a battle between maintaining (something approaching) democracy, enacting change, and maintaining her own power. is it possible to genuinely improve alethi society without starting a full on civil war leading to the disintegration of the very country you're trying to protect or, worse, declaring yourself dictator? let's find out!
