Summary
Lance’s posture has gone from somewhat respectable to bad to worse, and his attention span is slowly but surely reaching its breaking point, when the door in the back of the room slides open.
Blue and gray and black. Long, dark hair. A familiar set of eyes. The same faded scar carved along his cheek.
Lance jerks upright, nearly jumping out of his chair.
“I’m filling in for Kolivan.”
The words strike right through Lance’s sternum. And he didn’t even have his defenses up. He didn’t have time to prepare.
Although somewhere deep down, he knows that no time in the world could’ve prepared him for seeing Keith again.
or: Being stuck with his ex at a diplomatic conference for a solid month is super cool and very fun. Because Lance is over him. Obviously. He so is.

Summary
Whatever crazy visions Lance is apparently having enter the very forefront of his thoughts. First row, VIP-tickets with a meet-and-greet, kiss on the cheek included, the whole package. It’s like a dam inside his mind breaks.
Keith’s inky black hair shines, flecks of red and the nasty purple streaked into it, his skin nearly glowing, his smile blinding with the slightest sliver of his chipped incisor showing, and have his eyes always been this intensely striking? Have his shoulders always looked this broad?
In the light, Keith looks more beautiful than ever.
Lance’s stomach sinks with the realization. He thinks he’s gonna hurl. He’s going to throw up everywhere. He’s gonna–
or: Lance gets bitten by a love bug. There’s no way in hell he would ever be into Keith like that.

Summary
“I’m not pretending to date you, Lance. Especially not in front of your whole family. What the fuck?”
Lance’s lip twitches for just a second before he catches himself, plastering on a smile. “Please?” he asks.
“I’m not going to–”
“I’ll be the best boyfriend ever, you’ll just have to play along, man. Please. Please. Please.”
“Lance,” Keith tries one more time. Because here’s the thing: he wants to say yes, and –
“Keith,” Lance drawls his name just so, in that way that is so terribly Lance, so familiar, yet still intense enough to send shivers down his spine.
– and he’s, in recent years, never been good at denying Lance anything for too long.
or: Lance needs a date and Keith’s invitation got lost in the mail (or something like that! Don’t even ask!). They turn out to be really good at this whole pretending thing.

Summary
Lance is married, for fuck’s sake, and Keith being weirdly comfortable with him is not helping at all – not in the slightest.
The light reflects on a piece of silver metal on Keith’s hand as his fingers play with Lance’s.
He zeroes in on it, his breath catching in his throat.
It’s a thin silver ring that sits nicely on his left ring finger, adorned with an even thinner golden band around it, perfectly matching, and mirroring the ring that Lance found on his bathroom counter this morning.
Oh, no way. No, no, no, no. Absolutely not.
This has to be some kind of cruel joke.
There is no way that the person he’s married to in the future is Keith.
or: Lance unwillingly takes one for the team and wakes up ten years in the future.

Summary
The door opens to reveal long, black, sweat-matted hair sticking to pale skin, an achingly familiar uniform, and a truly worrying amount of blood.
He notices all these things, the minute details, the discarded crimson soaked bandages on the floor, his suture kit that’s strewn across the room, heavy breathing and shaky hands, before his mind allows him to piece it all together.
His knife clatters to the ground.
After a year of radio silence, with no warning whatsoever, Keith Kogane is bleeding out on Lance’s bathroom floor.
or: Keith gets hurt. He doesn’t know where else to go.

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
“And how,” Keith says, drawing Lance out of his thoughts, “would you know if I’m single?”
The noise that falls out of Lance’s mouth is a mix between a snort and a scoff, and it comes totally unbidden. Two years ago, he would’ve been mortified to be caught making such an unattractive sound in Keith’s company. But, two years ago, he thought he and Keith were becoming something.
And approximately ten months ago, when they fell into bed together, he was certain they would. He’d asked, even. Tangled up in bedsheets, heart full and warm and satisfied, he’d asked Keith if they were something.
The next day, when he woke up alone with a hastily-written sticky note on the bathroom mirror and an alert in the group that the Blade had summoned Keith in the middle of the night, Lance got his answer.
He’d been mistaken, obviously.
･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .*
OR: after 10 months no-contact, Lance and Keith find themselves in the same roadside bar. Which could mean nothing, surely.

Then he presses post and slams his laptop closed.
Kaveh deals with his #1 internet hater, FlyingVulture: some rando who reads his Deshret x Nabu fanfiction and leaves comments about how bad his characterization is.
Meanwhile, he also deals with his #1 real life hater, Al-Haitham: his roommate.

Summary
“What if he kills us?” Hunk whispers.
“What if?” Keith barks. “What else are we going to do? If we make him angry, it’s going to make things worse. Like he said, we’re trapped here. Our best bet is to play his games and try for the reward."
OR
When the team is spirited away to the galaxy's most infamous game show, Garfle Warfle Snick, they quickly learn that the games serve a more sinister purpose than entertainment. Without any memory of how they got there, or any idea how to escape, they're faced with an impossible choice: play the games, or die.

Summary
Before he knows it, he and Lance have overstayed their welcome at the afterparty bar, too, and Lance says, “I’d invite you up to my room, but I’m pretty sure Hunk is passed out right now,” and before Keith can second-guess it, he says, “I have beer in mine, if you still want to catch up.”
Which is weird. Since when do he and Lance catch up? Keith has no idea. He also has no idea what they’ve been talking about, other than anything and everything that’s not Shiro and the fact that he’s marrying someone who isn’t—
Fuck.
