Summary
Another scrap of parchment shot out of the cup, a fourth scrap of parchment, which made no sense at all, and the Headmaster grabbed it from the air, unrolling it and reading it quietly.
The entirety of the Great Hall remained silent. It was as quiet as a tomb.
“Lance Álvarez?” The Headmaster whispered, and then again, louder. “Lance Álvarez.”
Wait, what?
// Lance and Keith have always been battling it out: on the Quidditch field, in the duelling club, for the best marks in Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Keith always manages to come out in the lead.
Now, the Triwizard Tournament has been announced and Lance knows that Keith is going to beat him for the only open spot, even if he pretends that he thinks otherwise. But it doesn’t quite go the way that Lance expects, and everything changes from there.

Summary
Anathematized after a poor interaction with time-traveling aliens, Lance finds he has the ability to rewind time. Despite its limitations, Lance uses the power to the team’s advantage, both in war and to mess with his friends.
Then he realizes he can confess his feelings to Keith with impunity.
There’s only one problem: the parting words of the aliens who cursed him. His death is prophesied, and not even they know the details of his future. So Lance decides to make the best of what little time he has left.
If that means he spends every waking moment showing Keith his love, before reverting time over and over again so Keith won’t remember it, then so be it. Even if that means he’ll die without Keith knowing how he feels.
Except, there’s one contingency Lance didn’t consider…

Summary
Look, Lance was hot, okay? And that wasn’t even Keith’s opinion. That’s an objective fact — Lance is an attractive individual. The soft hair, soulful brown eyes, scattering of freckles, sunny smile (not to mention the long, long legs, Lord above): all markers of a pretty person.

Summary
Lance feels a little jarred when he sees nothing friendly in the suitemate’s eyes, and then foolish. He scrambles to find something to say.
“Do you have any rules?"
Keith’s eyes darken. “Yeah. Don’t bother me this semester. Or ever.”--
Accident-prone Lance McClain learns that his grumpy suitemate, Keith, has one rule: to leave him alone. Lance would really like to follow that rule. Really. But his clumsiness has other plans.(Or, 5 times Lance bothers Keith and 1 time Keith lets him.)

Summary
He still wanted to shake Lance senseless. Still wanted to force every stupid self-destructive thought out of his head permanently. But not like this. Not while Lance was bleeding through half-finished bandages and barely standing upright.
“Come here,” he said more gently.
Lance looked at him warily for half a second before the exhaustion apparently won out. Keith guided him carefully down onto the bathroom floor instead, maneuvering him until Lance sat between his knees with his back angled toward Keith’s chest.
The position felt immediately, dangerously intimate. Lance’s bare back rested inches from his chest now, warm and solid and distractingly close. Keith could smell the sharp disinfectant still lingering in the air beneath the cleaner scent of soap and the faint metallic trace of blood.Or
After a mission gone wrong in all the right ways, Keith storms into Lance’s room ready to start a fight over another reckless stunt, only to discover Lance is far more injured than anyone realized. What starts as anger turns into patching wounds on a bathroom floor, old insecurities dragged into the open, and the realization that they’ve both been holding back too much for too long.

Summary
It's definitely not Lance's top pick. Its unpolishedness aside, it's one of the sadder songs he wrote, filled with vulnerability and insecurity. On the surface, though, it just sounds like a typical heartbreak song, and Lance is lucky Keith isn't reading between the lines.
(If he did, he'd find his own shadow rooted in the pages, haunting every lyric.)
or, rising indie band VOLTRON have been asked to collaborate with solo artist keith on a new song. lance would be perfectly fine with this if keith wasn't their band's ex-lead singer

Summary
“Lance!” Hunk squeaked, high and tight. “What are you doing here?”
Lance didn’t even look at him. He was looking at Keith.
“Keith,” he said, an odd quality in his voice. “Next time you have an important, private conversation, make sure your comms are off.”
Keith stared in confusion for a minute. Pidge let out a near-silent oh shit and Hunk’s jaw dropped. It was then that it clicked. Keith could feel all the blood leaving his face.
Lance… Lance heard all of that.
Fuck.

Summary
Lance huffs, kicking an abandoned platter of appetizers to the side and sitting criss-cross-applesauce on the white tablecloth. “I don’t want to ruin my fancy clothes,” he says petulantly. “Or get wet socks. Why do horrible things happen to beautiful people? I don’t deserve this.”
Keith laughs. A small one, but one where his smile gets wide, showing his crooked incisors and the lines around his eyes. The look of it makes Lance grin back on reflex. Keith shakes his head, teasing, and then opens his arms. “C’mere, then.”
It takes Lance a moment to clock what Keith’s suggesting, but then he scoffs.
“Absolutely not, Mullet.”
The twinkle in Keith’s eyes is something like mischief. “I dunno what your issue is. If I carry you, you don’t ruin your shoes and your feet stay dry. What have you got to lose?”
“My dignity, I would say. You think I’m cool with you carrying me around like some —” Lance flushes at the mere thought — “some damsel, in front of the entire planet that thinks I’m a cool space hero? No way!”
“Well it’s either your dignity or dry feet, princess,” Keith teases. “You can’t have both.”

Summary
Lance's husband did not sleep in bed with him. He did not take his breakfast with Lance, he did not use their shared bathroom, or drink from the tea sets gifted to them for their wedding. Lance's new husband seemed like smoke, leaving just the faintest traces of himself behind; the smell of sweat in the little sitting area, a misplaced boot left by the doors to their wing of the castle, his voice coming up to Lance through the window as he trains in the grounds.

Alternatively, Prince Lance marries the Commander of the Guard, Keith. Despite being the one who wanted the marriage, Keith seems to not want Lance at all.
