    Summary

    "This is where I live now, Keith. I can't just leave." He says, seriously.

    "Why?"

    "Why can't I just leave? Keith, I-"

    "No, I mean, why is this where you live now?"

    At this, Lance genuinely flatters. "What?"

    "Why? Why did you get into the Garrison? To milk cows and plant flowers for the rest of your life?"

    //

    Or: Two weeks in Lance's cottage on Earth are all he gets, before he's set to leave again. Keith smokes his cigarettes, drinks his wine, kisses him like he's been wishing to since he was eighteen, and pretends it doesn't kill him inside: that the saviour of the universe is so full of grief he's acting like he's content being a farmer.

    Summary

    Lighthouse Bookshop had been there seemingly since time immemorial. Over forty years at that spot, sitting proud, a beacon at the heart of the community, and when the old owner decides to sell, it's the perfect vessel for Stede's odd restlessness.

    And the building is connected to a famous cocktail bar run by a mad genius behind the stick.

    One problem: Stede's still married.

    Summary

    Ed is an engineer aboard the Revenge, an interplanetary research vessel on a multi-year mission to study Jupiter's moon Europa. An accident requires that Ed awaken from cryostasis over six months early, and finds his only companion to be Stede, the ship's onboard AI. They develop an unconventional friendship, but is it possible to have more?

    This is classic mutual pining with a sci-fi twist, inspired by all of my favorite stories about the nature of personhood.
    -----
    “You–” Ed was struggling to parse what Stede was saying. “You’re playing your version of this song for me, right now? Like, in real time?”

    “Yes, Edward, that’s correct,” said Stede softly.

    Ed’s brain momentarily seized up. He supposed it made sense that Stede was capable of learning a set of rules to do something like arrange and play a piece of music. There was something unnerving about this song, though. It felt, well–it felt organic . Reactive. Almost collaborative in a way. Ed was lost in the push and pull of it, until the last notes softly petered out.

    “So, what did you think?” asked Stede. It sounded nervous again. Why the hell would someone program an anxiety response into a bot?

    Summary

    Skinny Love n. used to describe a type of relationship between two people that are very in love with each other, or who have deep romanic unsaid feelings for each other; but are far to embarrassed to express their true feelings. The relationship is 'skinny' because they have yet to come out and explain how they feel.

    Or the one where Keith and Lance fake date each other to make their respective crushes jealous while secretly pining for each other.

    Summary

    So, of course, that was when Hunk had said, "You know, it's really good that we're all friends here. I feel like it always gets awkward when two people in a group start dating, you know?"

    "Well, I don't think we have to worry about that with this group," Pidge had piped up, "I love you all, but there's no way in hell I'd date any of you."

    Everyone else had murmured their agreement, except for Lance and Keith, who had shared a look before trying to discreetly scoot away from the other.

    (Or, Lance and Keith decide to date in secret so their relationship doesn't make their teammates uncomfortable. It goes about as well as is to be expected.)

    "To the toddler who left coffee stains all over the ancient myth books – have you ever heard of these fantastic things called lids? You can put them on all sorts of things; cups, Tupperware, a coffin. Which is exactly what I’ll be shutting you in if you desecrate my thesis paper’s primary sources again."

    Summary

    “You’ve met me, congratulations,” Keith said shortly. “Now go meet someone else.”

    “Ouch,” he said. “And that’s not true; I don’t even know your name yet!”

    Keith wrinkled his nose. Maybe telling this irksome creature his title would scare him off. “I am Lord Kethyr, second son of Emperor Zarkon,” he retorted. “Satisfied now?”

    The Altean, unfortunately, was not deterred in the slightest by this. “Ooh, a royal? How exciting. I’m Lance.”

    Summary

    “What’s the fun in a masquerade if you don’t flirt outrageously with the prettiest person in the room?” the young man says flippantly, and then winks at Keith. Keith huffs a laugh, amused.

    “You keep saying things like that, but you haven’t seen my face,” he says, gesturing to his mask. “I could have warts under here. I could have spots, or scars.”

    “You’d be lovely even with all of those,” the young man says, and he suddenly sounds serious. It takes Keith by surprise, makes his heart twist along with his stomach. “Your eyes,” he continues, tilting his head. “I’ve never seen eyes like yours before.”

    Summary

    So nothing is okay, and everything’s okay. There’s one missing piece to the equation, and Keith’s gotten very good at ignoring it. He goes to work and goes to the doctor’s and goes to Pidge’s and the Holt’s and Shiro and Adam’s and keeps himself moving and busy. He’s got a lot on his plate; he’s trying to figure out how he’s going to raise a baby, he doesn’t have much time for anything else.

    But that’s only during the day. At night, things are quiet. He lays in his windowless room on his creaky bed, tossing and turning because he can’t fucking get comfortable, and he blinks gritty eyes at the dark room and just wants. He wants warm arms, and he wants someone to get him a glass of water, and he wants someone to tell him it’s gonna be okay, and someone to hold him up cause he’s getting exhausted doing it all himself. And he doesn’t want just anyone, he wants Lance. He misses Lance.

    Which is the silliest thing he’s ever heard. How can you miss something that was never yours?

    (Keith, a motorcycle mechanic, and Lance, a movie star, spend one night at a bar together. They get a lot more than they bargained for.)

    Summary

    "Oh good, you're all here!" Shiro greets, walking out of the front double doors of the campus with a wide grin.

    Everyone waves but Keith, who crosses his arms over his chest. "What kind of setup is this?"

    "You know, Keith, most people say hi before they accuse people of things," Lance offers with a sigh.

    "No, he's right. This was a setup."

     

    Three years after the end of the war, Shiro makes his way to Lance's family's farm and offers Lance an opportunity to be an instructor at the Garrison. Although he's never taught before, Lance learns about grief, love and what it means to heal.
