Summary
Pidge is still close —closer than is entirely comfortable if he has to be honest— giving him an evaluating glance. Lance doesn’t really know where to look, other than up her nose— but that grows old pretty fast. So he looks at himself in the reflection of her glasses. And squints.
He touches his own face for the first time since waking up— and feels the roughness of his chin.
“I have stubble,” he says, and the words are as alarmed as they can be even though they still sound slightly slurred, slightly off.
Pidge blinks a couple of times at him, and finally retracts into a more comfortable distance.
“Well, yeah,” she says. “You are like, what? 22? 23 in a couple of months?”
“I’m feeling— I’m feeling a little queasy,” he says then, with bright spots of color dancing in front of his eyes as he thinks 22.
Suddenly, a bucket gets shoved against his face. He takes hold of it with clammy fingers and he leans on his side so he can... use it. Thoroughly.
“I’m having Garrison flashbacks,” he hears Pidge say.
(Or: Lance is stung by an alien bug, loses his memories temporarily and makes assumptions about his and Keith's relationship. Also, Pidge cheats at Uno.)

Summary
It’s a matter of principle, Lance decides. Keith said he’d be here, so he should be here, not trapped in some cold, damp, abandoned bunker, on Christmas.
So what if Keith doesn’t like the tinsel and lights; Lance was going to get slightly tipsy on nunvil with him and talk.
OR

Desperate to spend Christmas with Keith, Lance ignores procedure and embarks on his own rescue operation.

Summary
“Allura, we got two girls and a father up there.” Lance puts on his helmet and thick gloves, though their gear is far from sufficient to withstand a rampant fire. “Call it in."
“Trucks are on their way, they have the proper gear—” Allura tries to placate to no avail.
“We don't have time, call it in!” Lance calls as he disappears into the flames.🔥 🔥 🔥
Lance attempts a rescue in a burning building. When arriving on site, Keith can't find him and goes on his own rescue mission.

Summary
After about five months in space, Keith thinks he has it all figured out—thinks he has Lance figured out. He’s the goofball, the flirt, the carefree thrill-seeker. But as time goes on and Lance continues to show Keith sides of himself that are caring, compassionate, and intelligent, he isn’t so sure anymore.
Caught between the fluttery feelings of affection and the confusion of his idea of Lance constantly getting turned on its head, he’s forced to face the reality that maybe he never really knew Lance all that well to begin with. And maybe it’s about time he let Lance show him.
Or: 5 times Keith was confused by/didn’t know how to accept Lance’s affections, and the 1 time he let Lance love him without restraint. Featuring the 5 love languages.

Summary
Keith had offered to move any important files he found in the Castle ship's data system to the Blade's computers for their use. It was nice to have a project to work on, and he enjoyed learning about the missions that his friends had completed while he was away with the Blade.
One night, when Keith is working late on transferring the files, he finds a mission report detailing an old incident. Keith is horrified to learn that Lance had died before being revived by Allura. Her words are detailed, and he can clearly imagine what had happened. He can even see Lance sitting lifeless in Red's pilot seat and smell the stench of burning flesh flooding the cockpit.
Keith reminds himself that Lance is fine. He saw the other boy only a few short months ago when the paladins got together for a reunion. The incident must have been terrible, but Lance is fine now and that was over a year ago now anyways.
Keith manages to convince himself of this for a while, but when nightmares plague his dreams, panic sets in.
He has to know for sure. Keith has to see Lance with his own eyes. The nightmares are too realistic, and he's starting to forget which memories are real, and which ones his mind has created to torment him.
