Summary
Lance couldn’t help the bewildered look on his face, still she went on “your ego took a hit this morning so you decided to just go somewhere to brood” and that got Lance to shut up. His ego? That wasn’t the issue, but how, just how was he supposed to say that to his friends? You didn’t hurt my ego, you hurt my feelings? Fuck no. I’m never saying that. But I have to say something, anything, just -
A story of missed opportunities and regrets, yet still, somehow everything ends up okay.
Aternatively: Lance feels like the 7th wheel and misses Keith, the team doesn't help in the slightest. Lance doesn't want to appear weak so he doesn't say anything, and lets his friends talk down on him. His friends' words hurt his mind and soul, that is until they actually lead to something much worse.
But maybe one person can change everything. Wonder who that one might be?

Summary
“I’m scared,” Lance revealed, and his voice was so small Keith almost missed it.
He felt something tug in his chest, and his fingers froze in Lance’s hair.
“Me, too.”
Lance laughed at that, and his chest shook with the action. Keith watched as tears fell from his squinted eyes, rolling down his cheeks like shooting stars.
“Good.”OR: there's a cave in, and Lance is self-sacrificing. hurt/comfort ensues.

Summary
He can tell Shiro is struggling to remain collected. “And why do you think Keith is your…sex…god?” And geez, that would be so much funnier if this wasn’t so disturbing.
The representative leads them to the back of the council room where she pulls aside a large curtain. Behind it, a huge mural stretches to the ceiling.
It looks exactly like Keith.

Summary
"He looks up then and stares the beast right in the eyes—right in Lance’s eyes. Because in all the terror and fleeing, Keith forgot that part, that somewhere, underneath all that fur and teeth is Lance. Lance."
.The simple truth is that Keith Kogane is in love with his childhood best friend, Lance McClain. It's a simple truth he plans to keep locked away until the day he dies, but that was before Lance survived a grisly animal attack. Now, a month later, Keith is resolved to confess.
But the full moon has other plans for them...

Summary
After their lions crash on an alien planet and Keith gets savaged by a boar, Lance saves his life by revealing an old family secret.

Lance is a super powerful empath and knows a hell of a lot more about being a pilot and how the lions work than anyone else. There’s lots of fluff and minor angst. Everyone is fine. -

Summary
If it were anybody else, Lance would think they’re messing with him for fun.
But Keith is Keith, straight-forward and guileless. If he’s touching Lance more, it’s only because he’s gotten more comfortable. And on one hand, that’s great, that’s—Lance feels very honored. His heart is doing backflips and aerial stunts and everything. On the other, this is really not helping with his raging crush.
His breaking point turns out to be when Keith, exhausted after a day of subspace meetings, drops his head onto Lance’s shoulder and sighs.
It’s a sigh that says, now I’m comfortable, that admits, I’m recharging, that practically screams, you help.
Hands in his pockets, he lets Lance bear his weight as if he trusts Lance to handle it. Great. That’s just—how dare he. How dare he be so vulnerable with Lance? Who does that?
It’s so enraging that Lance just blurts out, “I’m going to need you to stop doing this before I fall in love with you even more, asshole.”
Keith freezes.

Summary
“This would be a pretty sweet place for an ambush, actually,” Lance says softly. Keith follows his eyes, squinting at the mass of dust that reaches almost to the walls, like a roiling, smoky ceiling.
“We already scanned the place, and it’s a ghost town,” Keith says, slipping free of Lance’s grip and forging ahead. “Plus we’re nowhere near the base yet.”
“Right,” Lance says, but he’s tapping his helmet and opening up communications anyway, following Keith at a distance. “Hey guys, anyone else feelin’ that warm and fuzzy ‘I’m being watched' feeling?”prompt: Lance jumps in and takes a bullet for Keith when they're separated from the group, and it seems like a fairly minor wound, but the bullet was poisoned, and now Keith has to get Lance back to the castle.

Summary
Lance is so close to drowning, but he’s never let anyone see, not his closest friends, not even his boyfriend Keith. He just wants the pain to stop. But isn’t it easier to let go than crawl back up?
There’s another pause. “Keith, are you okay?” Because like Lance, Hunk is caring. Hunk is kind and caring and attentive to his friends. He can hear the uncertainty and the fear that Keith is barely holding onto.
What if Lance left? What is he just up and left because Keith said he didn’t need him anymore- No, that’s preposterous. Right?
Something is wrong.
“Are you sure he’s not in?”
“I’m sure-”Something is wrong.
“I’ve been knocking at the door for the last ten minutes, and all the lights are off. He’s not here.”
Something is wrong.
It doesn’t matter what the something is, but that something is wrong and Keith can’t help but feel he is responsible.Series

Summary
Keith is 18 and unlucky enough to be picked from the reaping bowl on the very last year that he's eligible to be in the Hunger Games. It makes watching people who volunteer for the "honor" of playing in the Games, like Lance McClain, climb to the top of his shit list.
He'll kill him first.
