Summary
Keith would never regret getting expelled and coming to live in his dad’s old shack.
He didn’t have to worry about food. He knew how to live off the land, how to hunt, how to ration old military supplies. He knew how to find water, how to filter it, how to survive. He had no money to his name, but he knew how to survive. He could explain all sorts of survival techniques and ways to be safe in the wild.
What he couldn’t explain was why he was currently breaking back in to the Garrison.
or: Keith breaks back into the Garrison to steal spare parts and ends up running into faces new, familiar, and very familiar.

Summary
Lance looked up at him, and the soft smile Keith gave him, so kind and gorgeous, and so him, and Lance lost it. The sobbed ripped through him, and he fell forward, hands pressing into his eyes. It was too much. Having to see Keith, feel him as he wrapped his arms around Lance in an effort to comfort him. He didn't know what he did to deserve this.
Of course, with Lance's infinite luck, Keith, his rival, his teammate, and the love of his life, would be a ghost he has to convince is dead.
Lance was born with the gift of seeing ghosts. War turns his gift into a curse.

Summary
So nothing is okay, and everything’s okay. There’s one missing piece to the equation, and Keith’s gotten very good at ignoring it. He goes to work and goes to the doctor’s and goes to Pidge’s and the Holt’s and Shiro and Adam’s and keeps himself moving and busy. He’s got a lot on his plate; he’s trying to figure out how he’s going to raise a baby, he doesn’t have much time for anything else.
But that’s only during the day. At night, things are quiet. He lays in his windowless room on his creaky bed, tossing and turning because he can’t fucking get comfortable, and he blinks gritty eyes at the dark room and just wants. He wants warm arms, and he wants someone to get him a glass of water, and he wants someone to tell him it’s gonna be okay, and someone to hold him up cause he’s getting exhausted doing it all himself. And he doesn’t want just anyone, he wants Lance. He misses Lance.
Which is the silliest thing he’s ever heard. How can you miss something that was never yours?
(Keith, a motorcycle mechanic, and Lance, a movie star, spend one night at a bar together. They get a lot more than they bargained for.)

Summary

Summary
Maybe it wouldn’t be such a problem, he thinks, if he could just tell Lance the truth. Maybe, he thinks, then Lance would understand. And he wouldn’t get so pissed at him for almost accidentally killing himself once a week. Maybe it would be easier, if he could just be a little more honest with them both.
But the thing is, it’s not easy. If things were easy, Keith wouldn’t be out on the training deck every night until he’s so exhausted that he can’t see straight—until he reaches that point of fading out of focus just long enough for the gladiator to sweep his legs out from under him. And if things had an easy explanation, then he wouldn’t need Lance to patch him up in the hours where all of their friends are asleep. And he wouldn’t be bleeding. And he wouldn’t be hurting.
_Keith tries to navigate leadership and the messy concept of love in all of its forms—all while trying to keep the darkest, buried secrets from his past from bubbling back to the surface. It doesn’t go as well as you might expect.
