Summary
“Do you think he’s really dead?” Hunk asks quietly, and Lance goes still. He glances at Hunk through the bathroom mirror; his eyes are closed, hands gripping the edge of the counter.
The truth is, his therapist has already talked him through the stages of grief, and Lance thinks he’s going to be stuck in bargaining forever. He’s torn between trying to live with it, and hoping against hope that it will go away. That Keith isn’t—
Lance can’t even think it. He’s not sure how Hunk managed to say it out loud.

Summary
Lance swallows, feeling almost stupid all of a sudden. He whispers, sticking his hand out past the threshold of his porch, “it’s raining.”
There’s the sound of shuffling over the phone, the creak of metal curtain rings on their rod. Keith says, “it’s not over here.”
Lance covers his eyes with his hand; he doesn’t mean to tear up, doesn’t mean to choke on the simple fact that maybe Keith was so torn up about everything because he was worn thin as Lance through the silence, through the strange longing in that gap between them. “You’ve gotta hear me out, Keith. I’m asking you,” he murmurs, “please.”
“You’re not going to see me again,” Keith says, like it doesn't tear Lance apart to hear, "enjoy the rain. Goodnight, Lance."

Summary
“I don’t want you dead.” Keith says, softening some, his eyes resting momentarily on a fleck of dried blood on Lance’s temple. He doesn’t say it, but he’s fairly certain Lance makes out that what Keith really means is, I’d have given up that whole outpost just to keep you in one piece. He adds, “you saved a lot of lives.”
“Speak for yourself,” Lance replies, meeting Keith’s eyes at last, with that same, raw, weighted gaze, his eyes languid pools of blue.
And Keith finally discerns this new expression—it’s yearning. Uselessly, without conviction, Keith says, "I don't think I forgive you."
Yearning, Keith thinks, longing. Something.
Lance exhales, heavy and slow, and pulls Keith in a little closer.
...
After nearly a decade spent in the tumult of vacuous space, Keith and Lance find themselves trying to navigate the newly reciprocated, spindly feeling between them, with the added challenge of trying to disentangle the ways that circumstance and time have altered them--have altered Lance, into a jaded whisper of his old self.

Summary
Keith can’t breathe.
He’s done everything in his power to not see Lance for the past years. He’d burned every bridge, he’d blocked every way of contact.
Despite it all, when Keith looks up, there he is. In the flesh. Every bit the same man Keith used to know.
or: Three years after running from their messy situationship, Keith is forced to work with Lance again. He's ecstatic. Really.
