Summary
"Lance summoned his Bayard.
Aim. Breathe. Shoot.
The resounding shot echoed in his ears. Except it wasn’t from his gun.
Lance’s legs gave out before he even realized what’d happened. He’d been shot. Square in his right ass cheek."
...
Lance McClain, Blue Paladin and Red Lion Pilot, has survived many trials out in space: Strenuous battles, relentless pining over Keith Kogane, being shot in truly embarrassing places ... but when he ends up on a solo mission it may prove to be his hardest challenge yet. Especially since he's stuck on a planet that doesn't even like Voltron. But it can't be any harder than trying to reconnect with Keith (who's been extra closed off since his returned from the Quantum Abyss), can it?
What results is many laughs ... and many tears.

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
“Isn’t it strange that she called me for — for leadership advice?” he questions finally, turning to face Lance. “I mean, I stumbled through every day as leader. Shiro was more of a natural. Hell, you’re better with pep talks, Mr. The Black Lion Chose You And I Trust Its Judgement.”
The set up is there. Lance could spell it out for him now, gently explain what he’s observed over the years, what he knows to be true — Keith, even though he refuses to admit it or even let himself notice, is the cornerstone of their family, the one who grew up with so much change so constantly that he learned to find steadiness in himself.
But that’s a longer conversation. That’s a quiet conversation, for when Lance can give his husband his full attention, when they can face each other and be honest and work through the inevitable pain of Keith accepting that as truth. Not when Lance is driving, and their kids are in the back, very obviously listening in at this point.
“Oh, come on, Fearless Leader,” Lance teases. “She knew she needed a nice, cheesy metaphor to set her head on straight, isn’t it obvious?”

Summary
Two more weeks, Lance tells himself. You can do this, he thinks as he tries not to explode from nerves, excitement, and impatience. Hunk leaves for his last day of work before paternity leave and Lance realizes...oh no...he can't do this...
--
It was weird for false contractions to happen so often. In fact, they WEREN'T supposed to be frequent; only something that happened once and then didn't happen again for some time. Lance was starting to think there was something wrong and began to panic. However, as he realized they had been happening since last night, less time between them and hurting more each time one happened, he was rooted to his seat with a different kind of fear.
“...these aren't Braxton Hicks...” he whispered to no one in particular.

Summary
"Is there anything to this world beyond science, Pidge?" Asked Lance.
"No way! Everything's got a logical explanation." She turned to face the guys.
"I'm not a tech genius like you. But I feel the power, and the energies. Of something." Replied Keith.
"There's totally something bigger out there, whether it's this fallen man, the energy signals, or our feelings." Said Hunk staring at Keith's board.
Aka: a rewrite of VLD pre-canon till the pilot with plenty of headcannons, fun, mystery, and angst!

Summary
“I know I’m your pilot,” Lance said, voice growing even softer and Keith had to strain to hear him, “but… but I get the feeling that… that you don’t really want me.” He audibly swallowed. “You want Keith back, don’t you?”
---
Keith overhears Lance talking to the Red Lion and questioning his place on the team. And while he knows he’s not the best with words… he’s the leader now. He was Red's former Paladin. And he’s going to try to fix this.

Summary
It wasn’t until he noticed the torn-up fabric on his hip, just between the two sections of armored skin, that he realized something must have been wrong. Lance narrowed his eyes.
“Lance, are you there?” Keith asked.
Shakily, Lance ran his fingers over the charred fabric. Pain shot through him and he hissed in an attempt to quell it.
“Uh, yeah. I think,” Lance licked his lips, “I think I got shot.”

Lance gets hurt during a battle. His buddy is there to help him out.

Summary
Keith has messed up more times than he can count since he became leader of Voltron, but this time… this time there might not be any going back. Because of him Lance has crash landed on an inaccessible planet that’s home to a violent, bloodthirsty animal species that cannot be reasoned with. And now, five days later when Voltron can finally commence the rescue mission, Keith knows in his gut it’s not a rescue mission at all. It’s a body recovery because there is absolutely no way Lance can be alive.

Summary
Most people never got to learn exactly what their mind is worth, how resistant it is. Lance knew now, and the answer was ten days. It only took ten days for something in him to break that he wasn't sure he could get back.
Shiro had survived a year and come out as someone still able to smile, to be kind and gentle with those around him. Scarred, but not shattered.
Lance wore no new scars. But he still hadn't made it ten days.

Summary
Keith seemed ready to speak his mind, “You’ve been getting out of everything: being late, cleaning up after yourself, helping out the team. We could use your help out there, Lance. The team can’t keep making excuses for this. I can't keep making excuses for this. You need to take responsibility for yourself. We’re supposed to be a team, not the team and Lance.”
Lance’s lips thinned and pressed together. “You must’ve been thinking on that one for a while.”
Keith sighed, “Yeah.”

Lance is getting sick while Keith is struggling with the responsibility of becoming the new Black Paladin, and Lance doesn't want to leave him to suffer alone. It's a tough week, and they struggle to trust each other completely, but they get through it together. -

Summary
Keith Kogane turned around, stick in his hand, as he made his way back over to the team.
“Hey, nice to meet you, my name’s Lance,” Lance introduced himself as Keith skated by. The man said nothing, sliding right past Lance as he headed over to where their coach was now standing.
“That was rough, I’m not gonna lie,” Hunk said, and Lance shook his head.
“Who does he think he is?”
In which Lance and Keith are both professional hockey players. Keith is notorious for switching teams every year, with no one knowing why, and this year he has joined the Arizona Cardinals, the team Lance has played for since he graduated college. Despite being notoriously a prodigy at hockey and famous for his success, Keith seems to refuse to get close to anyone and always has a frown on his face. Something in Lance makes it so that he desperately wants to break those walls down.

Summary
“You’ve done so much more for the Blade than most of them ever will, and it’s thanks to you that we’re spreading her message across the entire universe.”
Keith affirms it with such confidence that anyone would believe him, but most importantly, he needed Lance to believe him; needed him to know how valued and important he is to their joint cause.
“I’ve got you. I always do, Lance.”
