    Summary

    “My Abuela said it,” Silvio insists. “She said you have to wear the hat, because you have a pale ass so you’re going to get skin cancer and die before Lance even wakes up.”

    Keith looks between the children and the hat, too confused to glare, sweaty and horrid from pulling weeds beneath the scorching sun. “What?”

    “That’s wrong,” Nadia complains, and yanks her brother down to her level to whisper the correction in his ear.

    “Ooh,” Silvio amends. “Tía Veronica said you have a pale ass. My Abuela said you’re gonna die.”

    OR

    When Lance is fatally wounded during their final battle, the blue lion enters a deep hibernation with Lance inside. Unsure when or if he’ll wake, Keith is forced to wait and watch over him in the company of the people he fears most: Lance’s family.

    Summary

    Keith has never been so nervous--not while fighting the Galra, and certainly not while flying a massive metal lion--than he is to meet Lance's family. It's stupid, he thinks, being afraid of a room full of people his boyfriend adores, but he's better suited for fighting, which is why he's glad he's only staying two weeks.

    Lance is wrong three times: he thought returning home would be easy, he thought Keith had the same plans as him, and he thought he was done with the war.

    Or: when Allura dies, they don't get to say goodbye. Grief, Altean marks, and all that follows.

    Summary

    Everything Aventurine said and did was to elicit another response with which he could construct his profile on Dr. Veritas Ratio. Naturally, Veritas left their first interaction as quickly as he could for his own safety.

    But he slept with Aventurine a week later.

    After Aventurine is hospitalized, Dr. Veritas Ratio moves to the Intelligentsia Guild’s Pier Point location to monitor his recovery. There, Veritas learns two things:

    1) He might need help navigating the social circles in Pier Point.
    2) A fully recovered Aventurine of Stratagems is a force to be reckoned with.

    Summary

    After incident ‘x,’ Kaveh throws out the mirrors in his room. Strangers call him a mad architect, fascinated by the claims of his bout of violence. Friends talk to Alhaitham in soothing tones, dripping in sympathy, wondering how their fight had gotten so far. Alhaitham has to be one to wrap the mirrors for proper disposal, his reflection smudged and distorted like a monstrosity gazing back at him.

    “Can we fix him?” Collei asked Cyno.

    “Maybe someone at Akademiya can.”

    “Poor machine.” She gazed down at the broken parts like she would a deer with a broken leg in the forest.
