    Summary

    “Oh my god, Keeeith,” Lance wheezed. “Keith you’re the best drunk space cadet I’ve ever seen.”

    “Space cadet,” Keith mumbled. He repeated the words again although his eyes had zeroed in on Lance’s hands and Lance offered no resistance when Keith picked one of them up and pulled it possessively towards his lap. He began to gently trace over Lance’s fingers, sending shivers up Lance’s arm and down his spine. “You have looong fingers,” Keith murmured after a few moments.

    Keith’s face perked up then, as if he’d just had a brilliant idea, and Lance could almost not wait to hear what new obscure thought had entered Keith’s pretty head. He was prepared to laugh, and instead found himself shivering again as Keith leaned far into his personal bubble, lips practically touching Lance’s ear when he spoke next.

    “I bet you could reach all kinds of things, Lance.”

    Summary

    Fear clambers into his mouth and tastes bitter on his tongue. “Who are you?” It takes him a moment to register the sound of his own voice.

    She stares at him. Blinks. “Lance, please, this isn’t time for one of your jokes--”

    He furrows his eyebrows and struggles to sit up, to stop leaning into the cradle of her arms. “I’m not--I’m not...joking.”

    After sacrificing himself to save Allura, Lance wakes up in a strange new world where the only thing he knows is a deep connection to a boy he doesn't remember.

    Summary

    “This situation is a bit more complicated than we initially realized.”

     

    Lance raises an eyebrow, but Pidge is the one to question that. “Define complicated.”

    Allura takes no more time beating around the bush, “Well, I received a transmission. Keith and Lance--from the future, that is--would like to have their daughter back."

    or: Lance and Keith deal with a walking spoiler, in the form of a little girl who just wants to get back to her own home.

    Summary

    PLEASE NOTE: I've done a major re-write of this entire fic to make it more cohesive. All chapters have been updated. CH1 is new. CH19, 50, 51, 62, 74, 76 have near total re-writes. There are ~45K new words to this update compared to the original.

    AU where Anabella's treachery is revealed, so the Night of Flames never occurs. Ultima, Eikons and the Curse all still in play.

    PART I: Elwin plans to marry Jill to Joshua, despite Jill and Clive being in love, as the political balance of the Twins was upended by the revelation of Anabella's conspiracy with the Empire. (Ch 1-22)

    PART II: Mothercrystals start collapsing and word of Ifrit spreads, capturing allied and enemy attention across he Twins. An outlaw and the lady of the wind converge on Rosaria. (CH23-45)

    PART III: A dragon joins the fight but needs help in letting go of the past. Clive discovers more powers which send him reeling. Odin sets the endgame in motion. (CH46-60)

    PART IV: Odin and Drake's Spine await on Ash. Clive faces the god who would use him as a weapon to remake the world. But he doesn't go to that battle alone. (CH61-78)

    Summary

    Clive Rosfield gave it everything he had to end Ultima and Origin. He gave his all to fix the world so that they finally could live on their own terms. Something unexpected happened in the flow of aether he used to do it, however. And now he is back where it all began: Rosalith, Year of the Realm 860.

    An impossible opportunity is too good to pass up and maybe, if he's lucky, things might just turn out better than the first time.
