"Chiaroscuro" by @pekgna
This is fascinating.
My thoughts as I looked at this:
Shallan lives for no one; instead she dies for what she can never be. She kneels at a throne built of the lies she tells herself, one largely brought about by the false image of Jasnah Kholin. To Shallan, the queen has become an enigma, a specimen. Examined and torn apart even as it is held aloft, glorified and untouched as the epitome of being.
The many incarnations brought about by its existence are bound by it in their own ways.
The one who lies is bound by fascination and longing. The specimen carries no lasting burden, is affected by no past, knows no sorrow. What must it be, to experience life, to live rather than to suffer? She buries herself in scholarship as the specimen does, for this is the path to escape. Little does she know what truths lie beneath the universe's history.
The one who hides the past knows the importance of an example but deems herself too calloused to be affected. She carries no cumbersome memories, only formulating ones, just as the specimen does. Little does she know how its influence runs deep through her character.
The one who fights believes herself to be the highest recreation of the specimen. She glides, cool as marble and unaffected by her surroundings. She holds herself as an example of the flawlessness which the specimen displays. Little does she know the truth of emotion within the specimen's own heart.
And the one who seethes beneath awaits as the trio squabbles over the specimen. She knows they sense her presence, fear her coming. Yet their fascination has created her, and their ignorance has only sped her arrival. Little do they know what terrible future a suppressed past will bring.

Attend Me by gemheart
Rated Mature, 1000 words, Jasnah/Shallan Shallan's mouth gets her into trouble. (For the Stormlight kink meme: Shallan gets dared to undress Jasnah with only her teeth.)
Teen-rated excerpt:
"Shallan, sketchbook," Jasnah said.
Shallan jumped, nearly dropping her pen, and shut the book in a hurry. "Sorry, Brightness." She looked up and shrunk under her mentor's disapproving gaze. Those violet eyes cut through her more easily than a Shardblade.
Jasnah turned back towards her desk and continued removing her Soulcaster. "I would be more inclined to accept your apology if we hadn't spoken about this issue before. Several times."
Embarrassment flooded her, hot and awful. "Actually, Brightness, I believe you only told me not to have this out when I'm supposed to be helping you, and you don't actually need me right now…"
"You miss the point-- or, I suspect, you pretend to miss the point, which is worse." Jasnah said as she shut the safe and locked it, and Shallan tried to disappear into the floor. "If I did need your help, you wouldn't be ready. What would you do, attend me with your mouth?"
"I could," Shallan shot back, mostly to avoid thinking about the tens of suggestive comments now filling her mind. She was already growing flushed as it was.
Her mentor raised an eyebrow. "You could," she said flatly, in her that was stupid and we both know it voice.
Shallan set her jaw and nodded.
Jasnah sat at her dresser and folded her arms over her chest. Shallan tried not to stare. "Go on, then."
"Brightness?" Shallan squeaked, sure she must have misheard.
"I'm not fond of repeating myself," Jasnah said drily.
Okay. Fuck.

Jasnah, looking at the body of a dead spy: You have terrible taste in men.
Shallan: ...Yeah I know
Jasnah: I guess, if you absolutely must have a man... //Raises eyebrow skeptically
Shallan: I mean, it's a nice to have!
Jasnah, rolling her eyes: ...if you absolutely must have a man, I can set you up with my cousin. ...later.
Shallan, perking up: Really? It can be later?
Jasnah: He can have you when I'm done.
Shallan, her eyes gleaming: YES MA'AM

Hey I found you on ao3 and I know you've moved on to a new fandom but I just wanted to send my appreciation for your Stormlight fic, especially your Shasnah and Shakadolin fic! I enjoy them immensely. Thanks very much for writing them!
Wow this is a blast from the past haha!
Thanks, I'm glad the stories gave you a lot of enjoyment! I'm really behind on the cosmere stuff (to the ridicule of my IRL friend group considering how deep I used to be). Rhythm of War is sitting on my nightstand judging me 😅 Thanks so much for reaching out, I really appreciate it 💖

Conversation
Shallan: I made a marshmallow Jasnah. See? Her arms are crossed because she’s annoyed at all the other marshmallows for being illogical. You like it?
Jasnah: *choked up* It is acceptable.

Femslash fic rec
What if Jasnah had chosen something a bit more relaxing than taking Shallan for a field trip to murder 3 people to loosen Shallan up?
Rated Teen, 1400 words, Shallan/Jasnah or Shallan & Jasnah depending on your goggles
