Summary
Lance’s posture has gone from somewhat respectable to bad to worse, and his attention span is slowly but surely reaching its breaking point, when the door in the back of the room slides open.
Blue and gray and black. Long, dark hair. A familiar set of eyes. The same faded scar carved along his cheek.
Lance jerks upright, nearly jumping out of his chair.
“I’m filling in for Kolivan.”
The words strike right through Lance’s sternum. And he didn’t even have his defenses up. He didn’t have time to prepare.
Although somewhere deep down, he knows that no time in the world could’ve prepared him for seeing Keith again.
or: Being stuck with his ex at a diplomatic conference for a solid month is super cool and very fun. Because Lance is over him. Obviously. He so is.

Summary
“Shit,” Lance breathes. “This is so freaky.”
Keith can hear the laugh in his voice, trying to wrap his mind around how he could possibly find humor in a moment like this. His muscles are taut with anxiety, and Lance still manages to crack a joke.
“Right?” the other Lance agrees. “Two of us, ha.”
“Enough,” Keith finally cuts in. “There’s about to be only one of you if you don’t start talking soon.”
“Jeez, you’re intense,” the other Lance says to his Keith, eyes crinkling softly at the corners. “Would hate to get on your bad side.”
or: When Lance and Keith meet their counterparts from a different universe, it’s fun, mostly.
When they later find out that their counterparts are dating and very much in love, it’s, well, less fun. -

Summary
Whatever crazy visions Lance is apparently having enter the very forefront of his thoughts. First row, VIP-tickets with a meet-and-greet, kiss on the cheek included, the whole package. It’s like a dam inside his mind breaks.
Keith’s inky black hair shines, flecks of red and the nasty purple streaked into it, his skin nearly glowing, his smile blinding with the slightest sliver of his chipped incisor showing, and have his eyes always been this intensely striking? Have his shoulders always looked this broad?
In the light, Keith looks more beautiful than ever.
Lance’s stomach sinks with the realization. He thinks he’s gonna hurl. He’s going to throw up everywhere. He’s gonna–
or: Lance gets bitten by a love bug. There’s no way in hell he would ever be into Keith like that.

Summary
“I’m not pretending to date you, Lance. Especially not in front of your whole family. What the fuck?”
Lance’s lip twitches for just a second before he catches himself, plastering on a smile. “Please?” he asks.
“I’m not going to–”
“I’ll be the best boyfriend ever, you’ll just have to play along, man. Please. Please. Please.”
“Lance,” Keith tries one more time. Because here’s the thing: he wants to say yes, and –
“Keith,” Lance drawls his name just so, in that way that is so terribly Lance, so familiar, yet still intense enough to send shivers down his spine.
– and he’s, in recent years, never been good at denying Lance anything for too long.
or: Lance needs a date and Keith’s invitation got lost in the mail (or something like that! Don’t even ask!). They turn out to be really good at this whole pretending thing.

Summary
Lance is married, for fuck’s sake, and Keith being weirdly comfortable with him is not helping at all – not in the slightest.
The light reflects on a piece of silver metal on Keith’s hand as his fingers play with Lance’s.
He zeroes in on it, his breath catching in his throat.
It’s a thin silver ring that sits nicely on his left ring finger, adorned with an even thinner golden band around it, perfectly matching, and mirroring the ring that Lance found on his bathroom counter this morning.
Oh, no way. No, no, no, no. Absolutely not.
This has to be some kind of cruel joke.
There is no way that the person he’s married to in the future is Keith.
or: Lance unwillingly takes one for the team and wakes up ten years in the future.

Summary
“This isn’t some kind of joke to me,” Keith says quietly, eyes fluttering all over Lance’s face. It’s the bare minimum really—to have a man clarify that the situation he’s treated as some kind of burden isn’t truly a burden to him after all.
So: Caught between fear and something that feels dangerously like hope, Lance promptly loses his entire mind about it.

Summary
Can you fuck someone you're convinced you hate? Lance Álvarez and Keith Kogane, rich sons of rival families, are about to realize that the answer is yes.
Keeping rage and passion apart is difficult enough, but it's also only the beginning. As Lance gets swept up in a decadent affair with a mysterious man, and Keith struggles with ghosts from his shadowy past, the galaxy holds its breath for the storm encroaching on the horizon.
And through it all, somehow, they keep gravitating back to each other.

Summary
With a heavy sigh, Kaveh buried his face in his pillow. All of his romantic ideals, as usual, were quashed by the one man he actually yearned for such affections from - a marriage for the sake of fucking tax deductions.
Though it made sense in a cold, rational way, such a logical and disinterested proposal for Kaveh to willingly sacrifice his heart for nothing more than mora cut deep into his chest. And worst of all... Alhaitham was unaware that Kaveh’s heart could never even belong to anyone but him - that he was already the sole benefactor of Kaveh’s silent longing, having stolen Kaveh’s heart against his will long ago.
Kaveh curled around his pillow as if the soft cotton of his pillowcase could offer a reprieve from the turmoil churning deep in his stomach. He’d long since made peace with his unrequited love for Alhaitham, resigning himself to a lifetime of suppressed yearning - but this? This was torture, plain and simple, demanding mental gymnastics that Kaveh wasn’t confident he was flexible enough to contort himself into.

Summary
If Lance, at the bright age of 19 and fresh from Voltron's victory, had been told that nine years later he would be divorced, depressed, and playing second fiddle at his best friends wedding to fucking James Griffin, he probably would have laughed out loud and spit on the ground because that future felt so disconnected from the story Lance was telling himself about himself.
And yet, here he was- 28 years old, four years out from divorcing Allura, and James Griffin was meticulously putting together a charcuterie board right in front of him.
or
Lance is insecure at Hunk's bachelor party. Luckily, Keith is there.
