    Summary

    Welcome, to Arus.

    It’s twelve days north of hopeless and a few degrees south of freezing to death. It’s located solidly on the Meridian of Misery, in a small corner of the world called Altea.

    At least, it used to be a small corner of the world.

    See, while other far off islands had mosquitos the size of buildings, or wild, bucking horses, Arus had...

    Allura swung the door open, not hesitating to put a foot out the door before the Red verndari flew into view with its large wings and breathed a plume of scorching red fire meters in front of their very wooden door. Lance rushed forward on instinct, yanking Allura back by the collar of her furred hood, and promptly slammed the door shut.

    Lance breathed, attempting to calm his rocketing heart and a shiver ran down his spine as he met Allura’s eyes.

    “Dragons.”

    Or, how to train your dragon au with Lance and Keith as Hiccstrid

    Summary

    Lance McClain constantly dreams of the day he'll finally meet his mysterious soulmate. They don't say much, if anything at all, but they leave him with gorgeous paintings temporarily tattooing his skin. It's not exactly the situation he hoped for, but when he feels the connection between them, he can't bring himself to resent them. As much as he wishes his soulmate would just talk to him, he's resigned himself to being patient. In the meantime, he has a loving family and good friends to help him get by.

    Keith Kogane dreads the day he'll finally meet his obnoxious soulmate. He's just an art student who's struggling to find his place in the world. There's so much he hasn't been able to control in his life, and the thought of having a soulmate, just another thing in his life which he also has no control over yet can't do anything about, is a little terrifying. So he ignores the words that occasionally appear on his skin. He has other things to focus on: like being a new student at a big university where his childhood friend and step-brother go.

    Summary

    "Lance had degrees in both Secondary Education and Dating Keith Kogane and spent most of his time being an angel and teaching at the local middle school. So he was probably a credible source.
    So. TLDR: Keith is a Good Person.
    So he’s not going to say anything mean to the girl across the counter."

    A continuation of Dear Reader, where we see seven different moments of Keith and Lance growing together

    Summary

    "I find myself wondering, sweet reader, when exactly someone will take a shovel to the back of this racist statue's metal head and begin dismantling our university’s scandalous love affair with the most problematic donors they could possibly find. I’m looking at you, President Zarkon, kindly remove your hand from the Republican Party’s dick. This is a liberal arts college for God’s sake."

    When Galra University's Tumblr page, meant for football game updates and pleads for attendees for club meetings, is plagued by a mysterious writer determined to eviscerate every toxic part of the college, Lance is intrigued. When he becomes a leading character in the anonymous letters, well, he gets a little more curious. Lance becomes determined to unveil the writer and find out a) what is his problem exactly and b) does he really think Lance's eyes are that blue?

    A tale in which Lance is oblivious and pining for the hot nerd in the back of his Greek mythology class, Keith can wield a pen with deadly cruelty, and you, dear readers, suffer from the pains of dramatic irony.
