Fics like Take This And Everything Changes

Kaladin saw death when he looked at that Blade, but could he turn it down? However much he didn't like the thing, if he had it, he could keep this Blade from killing carelessly. It was more than that, though. Somehow he knew, deeply as he knew the winds, that simply giving away the Shards would have terrible, terrible consequences. Hand trembling, he grasped the hilt. As soon as he touched it, he heard a sound like a strong wind over dried branches, high and faint, or perhaps distant screams. Was this supposed to happen? No one had ever mentioned the Blades making sounds when you held them. Kaladin's men whooped and cheered for him. The cry spread to soldiers on the ridge beyond, dozens, then hundreds of them, cheering for one of their own. Kaladin had achieved their highest aspiration and they gloried in it vicariously. He almost raised the Blade into the air, but stopped. He was still too disgusted with it. For Kaladin, it wasn't a thing of triumph, but ugly necessity. Kaladin had a Shardblade. And he hated it. -- An AU: What if Kaladin had taken the Blade after killing the Shardbearer?
