Summary
The connection between them trembles as they each try and gain more control. Keith wants to destroy all the barriers between them so they can work together; Lance wants to work with him without everything they have being lost to each other. They don’t have a common ground. There’s no way that they’re ever going to be drift compatible, Lance knew it—
“We might be!” Keith shouts, reading Lance’s thoughts like they’re his own.
“We’re not!” Lance screams right back.
The tension is heavy, it’s so tight that everything feels too hot, like he’s burning and—
Everything shatters, splinters, and falls to pieces.

Summary
“Oh, gods forbid they respond positively to you doing a good thing,” Neve deadpans. She squeezes him a little again. “That’s sort of how it works, Astarion.”
She can’t even see it. Believes the best of them all so earnestly, himself included, that she can’t see how it would all fall away without her at the center. It’s enough to make a person feel like they might actually deserve it.
“And by it, you mean…?” he asks instead.
Her huffed laugh of disbelief ruffles the hair at his neck. “Friendship, you idiot,” she answers. “And the general acquisition thereof.”
Astarion cuts a sideways look at her as best he can with her still nestled so close. “And is that what we are? Friends?”
He’d meant it to tease her, and yet finds that the silence before her answer twists his stomach. Because…he doesn’t actually know, either.
“Yes, Astarion,” Neve says gently, after a moment. “I think we’re very good friends.”

Neve and Astarion, continued. She's not a victim. Not a target. Not just one night it's better to forget. But then...whatever in the world could she be?

Summary
Lance, separated from his team, his family, his home.
For them, it wasn't long.
For him, it was two years.
Two years of endless fighting.
New scars, new pain, new hatred.
And new feelings.

Summary
“Now, Lance. If you want to get out of here, you just have to take a test.” She sets the packet down on the desk, wrapping one hand on his shoulder like his mother does. “You won’t disappoint me and fail again, this time, will you?”
“What is your problem, lady?” Pidge says, outraged, and Miss Flores turns her attention to the rest of the team.
“I will have absolute silence while Lance is taking his test. Go sit at your desks and stay quiet. If you’re good, I’ll give you a sticker when we dismiss.”

AKA: Lance gets an arc he should have gotten canonically. 5+1 but I use that term loosely. I headcanon that Lance is smarter than he lets on sometimes, and that he really enjoys puzzles and riddles and such. The team love Lance <3Bookmarked by purplenessok
