    Summary

    Carp, Texas has 12,000 habitants, and Heather knows most of them. By name or by face or through a friend of a friend of a friend. It’s an incestuous town, all connected together by red strings, so jumbled and cluttered there’s too many knots in the yarn to ever dream of making it right. Heather blames them, those big, tight knots in the strings of fate, for why she spends the summer hooking up with Ray Hall.

    or heather's summer if panic didn't exist

    Summary

    “I meant, you and Keith should join us. Make it a double date!”

     

    And. Oh. Oh fuck no. It’s one thing for Lance to have lied about his non-existent romantic relationship with Keith, which was a mess he was going to have to clean up somehow, but quite another to fake said relationship in front of Hunk and Allura, both incredibly perceptive. Lance had only lied because he didn’t think he’d actually have to pretend to be dating Keith, because he’d figured he’d make up some bullshit excuse later, like they broke up or something, and no one would be the wiser. But this? This complicates things.

    Or,

    Lance just wants to be a good friend, but that apparently includes having to pretend to date Keith, and let's just say, things kinda spiral from there.

    Summary

    Keith was used to just having books as his one constant in life. But as he grew older, he gained a family and friends.

    But, one day, he didn't realize he lost one of his books and it led to a stranger getting his number. He started to get to know the person on the other side, and soon the boy quickly started to become something more to Keith.

    Summary

    “I feel like I’m in a bad teen movie,” Keith says as they creep down the hallway of the base.

    “Well, we are sneaking out,” Lance says, “and we’re lying about where you’re gonna be the next few hours. If we really wanted to be accurate I’d have thrown pebbles at your window and you’d have climbed down a tree.” He’s walking a little ahead of Keith, so he glances back at him, frowning. “If Kolivan’s in charge of the base, does this make him your dad in this scenario?”

    “I think he’s too old for that,” Keith says. They round a corner, tiptoe down another hallway. “Maybe he’s the grandpa.”

    In which Keith finds time in the midst of defending the universe to live out some of the tropes of a corny teenage romance.

    Summary

    Sighing, Mikael shoves his hands his pockets. “Doesn’t hating me get exhausting?”

    “I don’t hate you. We have a truce, remember?”

    “You’re still acting like you hate me,” Mikael says tiredly.

    “I don’t hate you,” Jonas repeats. “I just… don’t trust you.”

    Summary

    It’s the kind of party Jonas actually finds himself enjoying, and not in that five-more-beers-and-I’ll-be-having-fun kind of way. It’s the perfect mix of both his friends and people he only really knows from other parties- thirty or so of them spilling out between the living room and kitchen and garden, drinking and socialising and enjoying the summer, together.

     

     

    Jonas spaces out at a party and finds himself in the unlikely company of the last person he punched. Even more shocking is how much he enjoys it.

    Summary

    And here he is tonight again, standing in an alarmingly small stall at his favorite bar, in front of a quote he’d written just last week. You’d think the situation would be the same as any other. But it’s not.
    The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion, says the wall to him. It’s nothing new, and it’s nothing on his own to make Jonas’ eyebrows furrow like they are right now.
    No. What has Jonas this startled, is a single new word, added with a dark blue sharpie right under his own.
    Explain.

     

    Or, Jonas writes anti-capitalist messages in public bathrooms. Someone answers him and he thinks he might've found the love of his life.

    Summary

    Lance was looking for a way out of his dead-end college town, and on his twenty-fifth birthday, an opportunity fell in his lap: the marriage pact he made with his childhood friend, Keith, in high school had come into effect, and given they were both single... What choice did they have?

    Summary

    "You said you've been to the castle?" Keith asked.

    Lance cleared his throat. "Um. Yeah. Why?"

    He watched as Keith's expression changed from one of intimidation to open curiosity. "Do you know anything about the floating lights?"

    "Floating lights?" Lance mused, and then shook his head. "You're gonna have to be more specific than that, babe."

    (Or, the tangled AU where Keith has been trapped in a tower for eighteen years of his life, and Lance is the unsuspecting thief who sets him free.)

    Summary

    A summer of dates between a prince and a boy who works in a coffee shop.

    "I wanted to see you." Keith's eyes widen a little, and he ducks his head, but not before Lance sees the smile tugging at his lips. "This is the part where you say 'Me too, Lance,'" Lance prompts him, although he's ridiculously charmed by Keith's awkwardness.

    "Of course I wanted to see you," Keith says, rolling his eyes.

    Summary

    “I like you,” Lance says in a rush.

    Keith blinks.

    “That is—” Lance clears his throat, shifting his weight uncomfortably. His hands are still in his pockets, his shoulders still hunched. “I like you—I like-like you. Like, in a more-than-friends-way like you.”

    For a long moment Keith can only stare at him, astonishment and disbelief and cautious delight warring for dominance. And then, because he’s an idiot, because he spent a whole goddamn year in a goddamn shack in the middle of the goddamn desert and has no idea how to be a socially competent person, because he’s Keith, he says, “That was a lot of the word ‘like’ in one sentence.”

    In which Keith has about a dozen chances at happiness, and sabotages (nearly) all of them.

    Lance has always thought it would be weird and uncomfortable to date one of his students' parents.

    That was before he met Keith, a single dad with a kindergartener in Lance's art class, and just. Very pretty eyes.
