Summary
Sure enough, it’s frigid against his pores. But, more importantly, a white blanket covers the evergreens, dusting their branches and settling into a thick, powdery layer across the hidden grass below.
“It snowed!” Lance grins wildly, joy taking over his face and motivating him to jump across the room, digging through his suitcase suddenly.

Summary
When he woke up, Keith Kogane was very distinctly not in his bed.
Keith grabbed his head as the memories returned in jabbing, painful flashes, as if they were being forced upon his mind. Shouting. Torches. Gunshots, punching dangerously past the narrow space between his ear and shoulder.
Where am I?
--
The universe is a confusing and complicated place. It holds secrets in its web, contains multitudes in a series of truths that contradict everything Keith knows. And what does he know, anyway?
Keith's only ever been one thing during the span of his life: lost. And that's all he's ever capable of being.
Tripping through the brush, stumbling over hills, and sliding down riverbanks, Keith can run and run and run and run, but he will never find it. No matter how many twisted reflections he sees in the puddles at his feet.
And the stars, they weep.

Summary
Lance McClain, an experienced spy for the elite Voltron agency, takes an undercover mission to infiltrate an elegant party hosted by the powerful Galra crime family. Posing as a musician, he runs into Keith, a waiter, and immediately hits on him. Unfortunately for Lance, Keith is not a waiter.
He's /also/ a spy, running a parallel covert mission for the secretive Blade of Marmora agency.
While they resolve to stay out of each other's way, they physically cannot, and end up colliding as they try to execute their individual missions. Packed with intrigue, dramatic ballroom dancing, and good-old-fashioned stabbing, the night seems to have different plans in store.

Summary
“Welcome, all, to a day we surely could not have predicted a decade ago.”
Laughter reaches Lance’s ears, but he doesn’t turn. How could he? Across from him stands an impossibility, magnetically drawing his attention with the ease of the sun. All-encompassing and vital, Keith Kogane very might well be their yellow, shining, life-giving star.

Or: Lance and Keith get married.

Summary
Lance McClain is content at home-- really, he is-- but when Keith shows up at his door, begging for help, he can't say no.
"They want to turn a property of mine into a museum, for some reason," Keith said.
“Which property?” Lance asked. He held his hand to shield against the bright sky as he looked up to Keith.
“The desert shack."
Now, Lance is on the universe's most exclusive weekend trip, forced to help Keith go through a musty pile of memories. Fabulous.
Here are the facts:
1. Keith is still the most smart-yet-stupid motherfucker Lance has ever met
2. Shiro and Curtis are disgustingly adorable
3. A twin bed is far too small for a grown man, and
4. He should have fallen out of love with Keith when he had the chance. -

unstoppably, immovably, unbreakably you by bluemantics

Summary
A character study.
An unstoppable force meets an immovable object.
Katsuki Bakugou’s hand implodes against Eijirou Kirishima’s arm; a flurry of sparks surround them with a sound that rings between his skull.
This is something he knows how to do well. With every blow that Katsuki unleashes, he feels Kirishima retaliate with more, responding like a dance to his every movement. Katsuki is a fine-tuned instrument of destruction, every muscle on his body worked with the intention of winning. -

Summary
With the Rebels in need of resources, the team ventures to a planet known for its raw materials in hope that they'll join the coalition. Here's the thing: they need to prove that they can be trusted by telling the truth about why they fight.
Lance finds this more difficult to voice than the others. Unfortunately (thankfully), Keith has returned from the Blade and is more than willing to listen.
"This is bigger than any of us alone."

Summary
Lance McClain was dared to hit on Keith. Keith thought that’d be the first and last time they’d meet. However, Lance keeps coming back, charming Keith with his jokes and charisma.
Here’s the catch: Keith refuses to tell Lance his real name.
“I’m not telling you my name unless you order and move on.” Keith pointed to the register screen.
“Alright, I’ll do a cappuccino.” Lance pulled out his wallet from his jacket pocket and slid his card over to Keith. “Now will you tell me your name?”
“My name is Yorak.” Keith passed the card back to Lance, who looked shocked at that answer, his eyebrows raised to his hairline. Keith was beginning to realize how dramatic Lance could be.
“Really?!” Lance demanded. He looked pityingly at Keith, and irritation welled up in his gut.
“No!” Keith rolled his eyes.
“You’re the worst,” Lance huffed. -

Summary
Keith and Lance reconnect over letters. Through their writing, Keith learns to open up, and Lance learns what a home is.
"For all the game I talked on the castleship about missing home, now that I’m back on my family farm, I kind of feel like there’s something missing. Like, even surrounded by all of the juniberry flowers Allura gave us, and even with my parents, I still feel lonely. Or restless."
Or: A post s-8 fix-it AU told entirely through letters between Lance and Keith, both sent and unsent.

Summary
Kirishima sat in the dark, city lights casting faint lines through his blinds across his face and his chest. His hero costume was ripped and the blood that crusted his skin was a mixture of his and decidedly not-his. He lifted up a hand and stared at it.
God, he thought, clenching his rough fingers in a fist. He opened them up again. Is there ever a time I’ve felt more alone?
