    Summary

    After working too long in a soul-crushing corporate job, Keith finally caves to Pidge's insistence on working with them out in the middle of the Great Smoky Mountains. Keith, desperate to regain his artistic inspiration, packs up all his stuff and moves out to a desolate, phone connection-less summer in the mountains with his best friend. Along the way, he stumbles across a mystery that has him hiking all over the forest. The only catch? Pidge didn't mention that he'd be living a twenty mile hike away from them, in a cabin with another ranger - Lance, with the Earth-shattering smile, with the dozens of individually named plants in his garden, with the mediocre cooking abilities, and the magical skills on his guitar. So maybe Keith will rediscover his ability to paint, or maybe Lance will fry all of his nerve-endings before he's able to. Who knows?

    Alternate description: A brief obsession with Firewatch and a few too many google searches got me really invested in the Smoky Mountains, and here we are.

    Summary

    “My Abuela said it,” Silvio insists. “She said you have to wear the hat, because you have a pale ass so you’re going to get skin cancer and die before Lance even wakes up.”

    Keith looks between the children and the hat, too confused to glare, sweaty and horrid from pulling weeds beneath the scorching sun. “What?”

    “That’s wrong,” Nadia complains, and yanks her brother down to her level to whisper the correction in his ear.

    “Ooh,” Silvio amends. “Tía Veronica said you have a pale ass. My Abuela said you’re gonna die.”

    OR

    When Lance is fatally wounded during their final battle, the blue lion enters a deep hibernation with Lance inside. Unsure when or if he’ll wake, Keith is forced to wait and watch over him in the company of the people he fears most: Lance’s family.

    Summary

    “Well, I was wondering - ” Will’s eyes flicked furtively to the ceiling, to the ground, before blurting: “Do you want to do a speech at my wedding? Like, not a best man speech or whatever - that honour goes to Leo, he’d insisted - but a, like…dad speech…or whatever.”
    In what was perhaps not his finest moment, Apollo stared.

    in which Apollo is asked to do a speech at Will's wedding, and moments after. a story about love, romantic, platonic and familial - and Apollo's interactions with all these forms.

    alternatively: 5 instances Apollo thinks about Will and Nico before their marriage, and 1 time after.
