   Summary

   The Icarus insult- the humiliation of watching someone succeed where you failed.

    

   ----
   Lance and Keith are what Keith thought to be star crossed lovers.

   They had, after all, certainly crossed stars together. But like everything, time was against the stars as well. They had shared a single night weaved in passion, and Keith had hoped that that would be it, they would finally be together as Keith had always hoped.

   But instead of returning to earth and running into Lance's open arms he runs into Lance's marriage to Allura. Had it meant nothing? The past overcomes him and he fights with not just Lance, but also Allura.
   He hasn't returned to earth for eight years. But a lot can happen in eight years.

   ----

   Or

   Keith comes back to earth after 8 years of radio silence, changed and a potential former terrorist, only to find the reason he left in the first place had crashed and burned (much to his delight)
