    Summary

    “How about a bet?”
    Keith paused.
    “If I can make you fall in love with the holidays by Christmas night, you’ll take the shift.”
    Keith snorted, turning to face Lance. He kept that vaguely annoyed smile on his face, but nothing could hide the gleam of interest in his eyes.
    “You’re not going to make that happen.”
    “Okay,” Lance shrugged. “Then what’s the harm of taking the bet?”
    Keith’s eyes rose to the ceiling, thinking.
    “And,” Lance rushed in, “and I’ll sweeten the deal. I’ll work New Years as well.”
    Now that got Keith’s attention.
    They had drawn straws for who would work New Years Day weeks ago. It was one of the worst shifts for a toy store. Being deathly hungover while listening to kids scream and toys screech was the stuff of nightmares. Keith had lost and was stuck with the shift.
    A slow grin tugged at Keith’s lips. “You’re insane.”

    ***

    When Lance gets stuck with the Christmas shift, he immediately turns to Keith, a self-proclaimed Scrooge, to cover the shift. When Keith refuses, Lance offers up a bet. If he can make Keith fall in love with the holidays before Christmas, Keith will take the shift. Nonsense straight from a Hallmark movie follows.

    Summary

    “Wait, wait,” Lance stood up. “You are driving to Houston.”
    “Yes.”
    “A drive that’s over thirty hours.”
    “Yup.”
    “By yourself.”
    “Sure seems like it.”
    “To clean out a storage container of your dead mother, that you have never met, that is now legally under your name.”
    “Correct.”
    Lance wondered if Keith had lost his mind.
    “Keith, there could be dead bodies in that storage container!” He argued. “Or a meth lab. Or worse, mannequins dressed up like dolls sat at a tea party or some weird shit like that.”
    Keith offered him an unimpressed blink. “I’ll be fine.”
    “Keith, this is insane. You can’t go by yourself!”
    Keith glanced at him as he shouldered his backpack.
    “Come with me then.”
    And that small, damned smirk tilted Keith’s lips as he held Lance’s gaze.
    “What do you think, Lance?” He asked. “2,251 miles. Think you could handle it?”
    Lance stopped short.
    Contemplated.
    And, well. Lance had nothing to do either.
    So. That’s how this all started.

    Two disasters drive cross-country to clean out a storage container that may have dead bodies hidden inside and, hey, maybe a bit of love as well.

    Summary

    "I find myself wondering, sweet reader, when exactly someone will take a shovel to the back of this racist statue's metal head and begin dismantling our university’s scandalous love affair with the most problematic donors they could possibly find. I’m looking at you, President Zarkon, kindly remove your hand from the Republican Party’s dick. This is a liberal arts college for God’s sake."

    When Galra University's Tumblr page, meant for football game updates and pleads for attendees for club meetings, is plagued by a mysterious writer determined to eviscerate every toxic part of the college, Lance is intrigued. When he becomes a leading character in the anonymous letters, well, he gets a little more curious. Lance becomes determined to unveil the writer and find out a) what is his problem exactly and b) does he really think Lance's eyes are that blue?

    A tale in which Lance is oblivious and pining for the hot nerd in the back of his Greek mythology class, Keith can wield a pen with deadly cruelty, and you, dear readers, suffer from the pains of dramatic irony.

    Summary

    Lance McClain is content at home-- really, he is-- but when Keith shows up at his door, begging for help, he can't say no.

    "They want to turn a property of mine into a museum, for some reason," Keith said.

    “Which property?” Lance asked. He held his hand to shield against the bright sky as he looked up to Keith.

    “The desert shack."

    Now, Lance is on the universe's most exclusive weekend trip, forced to help Keith go through a musty pile of memories. Fabulous.

    Here are the facts:
    1. Keith is still the most smart-yet-stupid motherfucker Lance has ever met
    2. Shiro and Curtis are disgustingly adorable
    3. A twin bed is far too small for a grown man, and
    4. He should have fallen out of love with Keith when he had the chance.
