Taylor-made by vrepitsals, rating T, word count 2,962 – “What was that?” Comes Keith’s voice through the coms.

Keith scoffs with a light smile at the statement, but Lance notes with heated cheeks that he doesn’t correct him. “You’re not allowed to laugh at me for the next one,” he demands. Lance rolls his eyes playfully, and Keith continues. “No. I’m serious. I’ll pilot Red straight into an asteroid belt.”
Their lion gives an unamused grumble at the idea.
“Fine, I promise,” Lance grins and raises his pinky finger next to Keith’s. The rebel scoffs but locks their digits together.
“I thought your name was Taylor since we were twelve.”
Lance trips over his words, sputtering into a loud laugh. Keith rips his fingers away, annoyed. “You said you wouldn’t laugh!” he protests as his co-pilot leans over the chair in giggles.

Who The Fuck Is Lance McClain?! by allyflavored, rating: Explicit, Word Count: 13,061 – He almost lost it when he saw Keith scribble a heart in the corner of his notebook during History class with the same stupid name beside his own: Taylor.
Lance turned to glare at someone who sat across the room. He had found out that this guy’s middle name was Taylor.
Lance wondered what the raven-haired boy even saw in him. What does he have that I don’t?! Seething with jealousy, Lance looked down at the stupid little heart in Keith’s notebook once again that didn’t include his name.
Fuck you, Taylor.
