Summary
Lance is a YouTuber with a large following. In his search for new music to use for his videos, he comes across a small channel of a freelance singer songwriter, Keith Kogane. Lance offers to promote his music and hopes they can be (more than) friends.
What he doesn’t know, however, is that Keith has been a huge fan of Lance’s videos for years and is losing his shit on the other side of the screen.

Summary
“How about a bet?”
Keith paused.
“If I can make you fall in love with the holidays by Christmas night, you’ll take the shift.”
Keith snorted, turning to face Lance. He kept that vaguely annoyed smile on his face, but nothing could hide the gleam of interest in his eyes.
“You’re not going to make that happen.”
“Okay,” Lance shrugged. “Then what’s the harm of taking the bet?”
Keith’s eyes rose to the ceiling, thinking.
“And,” Lance rushed in, “and I’ll sweeten the deal. I’ll work New Years as well.”
Now that got Keith’s attention.
They had drawn straws for who would work New Years Day weeks ago. It was one of the worst shifts for a toy store. Being deathly hungover while listening to kids scream and toys screech was the stuff of nightmares. Keith had lost and was stuck with the shift.
A slow grin tugged at Keith’s lips. “You’re insane.”***
When Lance gets stuck with the Christmas shift, he immediately turns to Keith, a self-proclaimed Scrooge, to cover the shift. When Keith refuses, Lance offers up a bet. If he can make Keith fall in love with the holidays before Christmas, Keith will take the shift. Nonsense straight from a Hallmark movie follows.

Summary
“Wait, wait,” Lance stood up. “You are driving to Houston.”
“Yes.”
“A drive that’s over thirty hours.”
“Yup.”
“By yourself.”
“Sure seems like it.”
“To clean out a storage container of your dead mother, that you have never met, that is now legally under your name.”
“Correct.”
Lance wondered if Keith had lost his mind.
“Keith, there could be dead bodies in that storage container!” He argued. “Or a meth lab. Or worse, mannequins dressed up like dolls sat at a tea party or some weird shit like that.”
Keith offered him an unimpressed blink. “I’ll be fine.”
“Keith, this is insane. You can’t go by yourself!”
Keith glanced at him as he shouldered his backpack.
“Come with me then.”
And that small, damned smirk tilted Keith’s lips as he held Lance’s gaze.
“What do you think, Lance?” He asked. “2,251 miles. Think you could handle it?”
Lance stopped short.
Contemplated.
And, well. Lance had nothing to do either.
So. That’s how this all started.Two disasters drive cross-country to clean out a storage container that may have dead bodies hidden inside and, hey, maybe a bit of love as well.

Summary
ORIGINALLY: Wildcard
Keith Kogane is hot-headed, rebellious and dangerous. He flies by the seat of his pants with no regard for his safety, or the safety of his fellow cadets. He struggles to conform to the strict culture of the Garrison Flight Academy, with a reputation to his name for being a completely insatiable thrillseeker, an adrenaline junkie. Not only does he not follow the rules of flying, but he's outspoken and snappy. He bites, and he's not afraid to go fist to fist to put people in their place.
Lance McClain is everything that Keith isn't. He's the academy's "Golden Boy". He's annoyingly charming, popular and obedient. He gets to where he wants to be in the academy by playing by the rules, showing up and doing the work. However, Keith's ability to sail through each training session through the use of dangerous and careless maneuvers never fails to piss Lance off.
It doesn't help the situation that Keith finds Lance impossibly attractive, but who is Lance when he's not performing for a crowd? Keith begins aching to claw past Lance's facade and see him for who he really is.
Klance Top Gun themed au because this has been rotting in my brain for like a YEAR. Expect Top Gun references.
