Summary
Lance, separated from his team, his family, his home.
For them, it wasn't long.
For him, it was two years.
Two years of endless fighting.
New scars, new pain, new hatred.
And new feelings.

Summary
“Now, Lance. If you want to get out of here, you just have to take a test.” She sets the packet down on the desk, wrapping one hand on his shoulder like his mother does. “You won’t disappoint me and fail again, this time, will you?”
“What is your problem, lady?” Pidge says, outraged, and Miss Flores turns her attention to the rest of the team.
“I will have absolute silence while Lance is taking his test. Go sit at your desks and stay quiet. If you’re good, I’ll give you a sticker when we dismiss.”

AKA: Lance gets an arc he should have gotten canonically. 5+1 but I use that term loosely. I headcanon that Lance is smarter than he lets on sometimes, and that he really enjoys puzzles and riddles and such. The team love Lance <3-

Summary
“Mm-what,” he mumbles, muffled into his roughed shoulder pads, words smushed together.
Keith sighs instead of answering. For half a second Lance tenses. But Keith only shifts again, not pushing Lance off but moving so Lance is pressed closer to him, and then the heat of his breath tickles the shell of Lance’s ear, and he tenses for a whole different reason.
And then there is, inexplicably, the feeling of what must be Keith’s lips, pressed to the side of Lance’s skull, gentle and lingering, and Lance thinks clearly to himself: what the fresh actual and genuine fuck.
“‘M sorry,” says Keith, so quiet it would be impossible to hear were his mouth not one single inch away from Lance’s ear. He kisses again, and he almost sags into the motion, into Lance. “I shouldn’t have been so dismissive of you earlier. I was stressed. I missed you, too.”
Lance opens his mouth. He muffles a choking sound with all of his strength.
“All good in the hood,” he finally manages, and then wants to strangle himself. “We’re — tight, Keithalicious.”

OR: Somebody lied to Keith, and now he thinks he and Lance are...lovers, of some kind. They are not.Lance struggles to correct him.

Summary
He cracks up, embarrassed giggles bubbling up his throat. His next words are muffled by the hand he has pressed to his face. “God, I want him so bad.”
Kosmo raises his head from where it was resting on Keith’s knee, staring at him in what Keith can only assume is judgment.
“Shut up,” Keith says hotly. “You once farted so loud you scared yourself and cried for ten minutes. You don’t get to judge me about being embarrassing.”
Keith is losing it. He is defending his character to a dog. He groans loudly, dragging his hand down his face.
“I should tell him, shouldn’t I,” he mutters. “Just — come out with it. ‘Leandro Esposita-McClain, I am in love with you.’ Straight to the point. Rip off the band-aid.”
---
OR: Keith confesses. Lance overhears. Thanks, Kosmo. -

Summary
Lance knows his close quarters combat isn’t the best, so when Shiro tells Lance he’s going to train him he should be relieved because maybe now he can actually protect his team. Except the training seems to be more of a beatdown punctuated by both fists and cruel words and now Lance has to hide the results of such before he makes tensions in Voltron even worse. But that’s harder than planned on as Keith is both very observant and very, very concerned.
“Do you think the Galra Empire will care that you’re tired?” Shiro interrupted him. “Do you think they’ll go easy on you because you’ve been fighting all day?”
“No, but—”
“There are no buts, Lance,” Shiro cut him off. “Either you want to be a Paladin your team can count on or you don’t.”

Summary
“So I have space flu?” Lance muttered.
“A Talerian space flu, I suppose,” Coran replied, chipper as ever.
“Wait,” Pidge took a few steps away from Lance, their arms held out in defense and eyes wide, “it’s not contagious is it?”
“Not to worry!” Coran quickly placated, arms folding behind his back. “It only spreads through very specific means. We don’t need to worry about quarantining or anything of the sort!”
“Oh thank god,” Lance sighed breathlessly, once again leaning heavily on Keith next to him.
Or: Lance contracts a virus from a recently allied planet and Keith struggles to keep his distance from him. He wants to care for his boyfriend, but their relationship is still a secret. Good thing it’s not contagious though, right?
… Right?

Summary
Some members of the Blade of Marmora hassle Lance.
Lance could feel panic rising like sea foam, with occasional pops of terror and adrenaline. He gasped when his so-called comrades lifted him bodily until he was trapped above the opening of the tube. It was transparent, and he could see the floor through it, but once he was inside, it would be dark. He started hyperventilating, and before he could stop himself, a few words squeezed out. “Jaque, please –”
The young Galra looked at him impassively, like he was watching this happen from a place far removed. He didn’t look angry. There was no malice. “Whether you believe this or not,” he said, “I really am trying to help you.”
Then they thrust him inside.

Dinner was relatively peaceful, until they got on the topic of the game show with Bob again.
Lance suddenly stood up. “I’m going to get more firewood,” he announced.
Keith quickly jumped to his feet. “I’ll go with you.” Lance made a face Keith didn’t understand before turning to exit the cave they were taking shelter in. Keith hadn’t been to gather firewood on this planet, so he let Lance take the lead.Or, Lance and Keith have a heart to heart conversation.

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
Lance's attention was now frozen on her. Her face inches from his he couldn't see anything but the sheet of dark hair, pale shoulders, a glittering red dress, the thigh slit nearly at her hip.
Struggling to keep his jaw from hitting the floor he realized. This woman was human, an actual human woman. Thoughts spinning he watched her pull back.
That low cut top was far past distracting, her lithe figure zipped into a form fitting dress.
Lights flitting across them for a single second Lance could see her face. Pale, violet eyes were black lined, blinking over scarlet lips, a doll face caked in makeup.
The bowed lips curled. "What are you doing here?" Keith hissed through a grit smile.
"Holy quiznack," Lance couldn't breathe, something in him waging a war.
Keith all but snarled.
Lance flinched, watching Keith pull up the skirt to a thigh holster. Its contents were hidden in small tubes.
"What's that?"
Keith raised an eyebrow and pulled out a tube of lipstick.
"Wait, what are you-"
"Hold still."
Or Keith is on an undercover mission for the Blade. Lance finds himself very out of sorts about it all.

Summary
“Yeah, I don’t buy that. You’re repeating your words, you look pale and seem like you’re seconds from toppling over.”
Lance would be seriously impressed if it wasn’t for the sudden lightheadedness that quickly overtook him.
Well, fuck it, Lance thought.
“Yeah, you might wanna catch me.”

Summary
On their journey to Earth, Voltron stops at a planet for supplies and finds that its inhabitants are not only incredibly generous but powerful and would make strong allies in their upcoming fight. In order to secure the alliance, the king assigns a member of his council to observe each Paladin and judge their worth.
Lance is delighted to find out his evaluator is the king’s own son, Prince Barin, who is a formidable fighter and pilot, and he’s determined to prove himself worthy and make Voltron proud, especially following the horrible game show experience with Bob.
Except Lance discovers that the prince isn’t interested in evaluating his worth as a Paladin; he's just interested in his body. And for the sake of the universe… Lance knows what he has to do.
“Therefore, it is imperative that our next two quintants together go smoothly,” Barin continued, “so I may give a positive evaluation of yourself. Do you understand?”
“Absolutely,” Lance bobbed his head.
Barin’s fangs peeked with his smile. “Excellent. Then our first order of business...”
He leaned forward, smile growing.
“Kiss me.”

Summary
With Shiro back on the team, Lance finds all of the progress he'd made with Keith over the months slipping away. A temporary best friend for a temporary paladin. He doesn't feel needed at all, at least not until he stumbles across the paladin vlogs while cleaning and sees for himself just how big of a void there is waiting to be filled in Keith's life.
Reassured that he has a place to be, Lance will stop at nothing to show Keith just how much he wants to be there.

Summary
There was a sudden silence in the igloo, and everyone was staring at him.
Dad seemed to have swallowed a toad, and Marco had to help him sit down. Lance didn't understand why they were all so strange.
"Did I do something bad?"
Veroncia shook her head, "No, it's a very special thing. You surprised us, that's all. Nobody can do what you can do."
[......]
Lance clenched his jaw, “It's easy for you to talk. You are a firebending prodigy. It has been taught to you correctly since you were six. Well, guess what, not everyone has had this privilege. I was the last waterbender of my tribe, you of the Fire Nation took them all away. "
" Them all?"
“Yes, and no one has ever returned. Everything I know about my bending, I have learned by myself. So sorry if I have a style too sloppy for your sensibility, I'm lucky to have one! "
Since they clashed months ago in the Pohuai Stronghold, Lance saw something other than anger in the firebender's expression: he saw shame.
------------------------------
Five times Lance surprised someone with his waterbending, and once his talent was recognized.
