    Summary

    Once summer closes its eyes in Stardew Valley, a cold wind rushes in, brittle and bone-shaking— alive. Keith loves it. He adores the harsh bite of cold against his cheeks; the promise of coming snow.

    Lance, on the other hand, is not quite as happy about the weather.

    Good thing Keith doesn’t give up easily.

    or: lance is a farmer, keith is a delivery man of sorts. they fall in love in stardew valley.

    Summary

    America, being America, says something he should've known better than to say in his own airport, whereupon he is taken in for questioning and finds it very difficult to explain why this particular nineteen-year-old seems to be as politically active as the President himself.

    Summary

    If it were anybody else, Lance would think they’re messing with him for fun.

    But Keith is Keith, straight-forward and guileless. If he’s touching Lance more, it’s only because he’s gotten more comfortable. And on one hand, that’s great, that’s—Lance feels very honored. His heart is doing backflips and aerial stunts and everything. On the other, this is really not helping with his raging crush.

    His breaking point turns out to be when Keith, exhausted after a day of subspace meetings, drops his head onto Lance’s shoulder and sighs.

    It’s a sigh that says, now I’m comfortable, that admits, I’m recharging, that practically screams, you help.

    Hands in his pockets, he lets Lance bear his weight as if he trusts Lance to handle it. Great. That’s just—how dare he. How dare he be so vulnerable with Lance? Who does that?

    It’s so enraging that Lance just blurts out, “I’m going to need you to stop doing this before I fall in love with you even more, asshole.”

    Keith freezes.
    -
    Or, five times Lance acknowledges his feelings for Keith and one time Keith reciprocates.

    Summary

    “Could you also pretend to not be a nonbeliever of everything remotely fun or interesting and entertain the idea of maybe putting hope into something? Isn’t there something you want? Something just selfish enough for it to actually be for you—not about this war, or the team— just you.”
    “No…,” Keith admits, because he actually can’t think of anything. Because he actually can’t remember the last time he was selfish, wanted something other than bare necessities because for most of his life he barely had that much.

    Or,
    Five times (or so) that Lance gives Keith the chance to dare to believe in something, the one time Keith gives Lance something to hold onto in return, plus one time they choose to believe in each other.

    Summary

    He glares playfully at his siblings, who are all giggling now, pointing fingers at them all.

    “Lemme tell you right now. A man walks in here offering me that and a cheque for any school I want and it’s over for you people. I’m gone. You can fend for yourselves.”

    “Yeah right,” Austin snorts, disbelieving. He reaches over and pinches Will’s thigh, cackling when he squawks. “We can’t even get you to leave the infirmary at the end of your shift. You’re stuck here forever, Rapunzel.”

    “Just you wait! My prince will come!”

    “As if he even wants a prince,” he hears Kayla whispering to a giggling Gracie, who responds with a cheeky, “Not when he’s got a king!”

    Nico doesn’t know who they’re talking about, but the fact that there’s someone — his vision goes green. He has to tamp down a genuine snarl which is — ridiculous. And out of nowhere.

    He cuts another glance to Will, who is still muttering petulantly. Every few minutes, he hears something about an “open floor plan” and “high pressure showers”.

    He gets a very, very stupid idea.
    ---
    OR: When it comes to Will, Nico will always bend over backwards. Anything for that radiant, breathtaking smile.
