Summary
The young man stared at him, shocked.
"You... don't you remember me?" he asked, finding it simply inconceivable.
And Lance, in other circumstances, would have been amused by that reaction, but there was a little girl he had to bring back to her mother; he hadn't slept for almost twenty-seven hours and needed a break.
"No, dude, now if you want to excuse me..."
The boy turned Lance to him, their faces a short distance away, purple eyes fixed on his, and Lance's treacherous heart skipped a beat.
"Blue Spirit, I'm Red Warrior. Do you really not remember me?"
At that point, Lance began to break out in a cold sweat. Of course, he couldn't remember him. Lance wasn't the real one.
(In which, due to a stupid stunt, the seventeen-year-old Lance dies and finds himself in the body of a villain of his best friend's favourite graphic novel, trying not to attract too much attention. Too bad for Lance, Keith doesn't make things easy for him at all.)

Summary
“Damn…I don't want to stay here and be looked at like I'm a parasite. I have to try again..."
Then, just as the feeling of heaviness had come, it disappeared, and Lance felt light.
He still heard too many noises, and his head was spinning, but at least he could move without problems.
He was about to leave when he heard Allura yell, "Lance!"
He turned, “I'm sorry princess, I know I should stay for the briefing and…”
He stopped: the princess and even Shiro looked at him with equally alarmed looks, as if he had suddenly grown a second head or started bleeding from his eyes.
He put his hand over the face, and screamed when he saw his damn translucent arm.
The worst thing was to come: as he realized he had become a bad copy of Casper, Lance finally saw his body lying on the ground, and couldn't help the growing panic.

In which the Omega Shield incident has consequences and Lance deals with the fact that people care about him.

Summary
“Coran, if one of us suddenly started coughing up petals, what would you say?”
The man froze, as if someone had thrown a bucket of freezing water on him. He was deathly pale as he said, "Who? Please tell me!"
"Coran..."
"Please, not the princess! Oh, if that damned man seduced her and then broke her heart..."
"It's not Allura."
"So, Shiro? Of course, it would explain his current behavior."
Lance gulped, "No, it's not him heeither. Actually...it happened to me..."
Coran's eyes filled with tears, and he did something unexpected: he hugged him.

Mirror mirror, who was the most broken of the realm? by Speechless_since_1998

Summary
The first time it happened, Lotor had just joined them, and Keith had left.
Lance wanted to do his best to replace the red paladin, and among his duties was to act as Shiro's right-hand man.
And the right-hand man's duties were to advise the leader, and Lance was convinced that having Lotor on board was a bad idea.
Too bad for him that Shiro didn't want a right-hand man. He wanted a punching bag.
(Where the clone's threats against Lance were much more physical and the paladin must learn to deal with the consequences.)

Summary
Lance doesn't really believe in legends. He doesn't believe in most things. He doesn't believe in aliens, monsters, or the unnatural. Most of all, he doesn't believe in soulmates.
As much as Keith hates to admit it, he likes the connection he and his soulmate share, even if it's only through a mirror.
Even soulmates can have tragic endings—they can live without ever meeting their other half.

Summary
"You're misunderstanding," Keith growled. "I'm not in love with Lance.”
"You act like you are."
"As if! I've never met someone as annoying as him! He always talks, he thinks he's a pilot when he barely knows what he's doing, he has a huge ego and only cares about himself. No one would be crazy enough to fall in love with him, and if it weren't for the fact that you asked me to flirt a little to get your damn peace..."
Hunk grabbed Keith's scruff, looking furious. He had agreed to the plan with Pidge just because he saw that Lance was exaggerating.But that was too much. Pidge was about to say something, when she stopped, and said, "Oh, shit. "
Keith turned to understand who had made her react like this. His breath caught in his throat: Lance was there.
"You...how much..."
"I've heard enough," the blue paladin admitted, in a small tone, too quiet. “I should have realized this sooner, right? There was no way the great Keith Kogane could have woken up and suddenly decided that I was worth spending time with."

Summary
They open the wormhole, entering just as Haggar’s black lightning strikes.
The lions go tumbling, all exiting in the wrong place.
For Lance, he exits at the wrong time too.
------
Lance finds himself knocked two and a half years into the past. He's alone, in space, at the wrong time. While he can't risk damaging the timeline (and all of reality), he can't sit idle either. Putting his charisma, tenacity, and battle skills to use, he builds a network of traders, informants, refugees, and friends within the Blades. Lance earns many titles: Rebel, Mercenary, Pirate, Smuggler, Botanist, Trader, Assassin, Humanitarian, Playboy. How will this affect his ability to play the role of Paladin? And how will these early alliances affect the Voltron story? -

Summary
"Lance isn’t exactly sure when it started. He’d like to say the habit started in space.
He’d like to say that he does these things because he’s a hero. But when he falls out of the healing pod, again, alone, again, he can’t help but feel regret. Not regret that he saved his teammate’s life, that he took the blow, but that it didn’t do more lasting damage.
He regrets waking up."
----
Five times the team realizes Lance isn't okay, and one time they start to make things better. OR, Lance is depressed and has gone mute after the events at Omega Shield. It isn't until they reach Earth and he begins using sign language with his family that they really notice how distant Lance has become.

Summary
Lance held out until they defeated Zarkon, and tumbled back to Earth with his health close to nothing. He was a shell of what he used to be, so vibrant and moving, but Keith still smiled at Lance’s antics during their time together.

[Or, Keith finds a box that belongs to Lance, who died a year prior.]

Summary
“Well, he thinks we don’t care about him. Which is ridiculous, because of course we do, he’s part of the team. I’m unsure where he’d get that idea,” Allura says. She hugs her knees to her chest. “Do you think we did something? Like, maybe we just didn’t realise? Because of course we’d care if he died. I still can’t fathom why he wouldn’t—”
“Wait,” Pidge interrupts. “Lance died? Uh, expand on that, please?”
Oh. Oh no.

Summary
Is he running away? Probably. He doesn't really care. The time for being an adult about this is long since past.
Lance is home for an early summer break. He's miserable, heartbroken, and he's locked his phone in his basement. He's avoiding everyone, but he can't run forever.
Maybe he should try out for the Dance Off at his local skating rink. It will distract him, and maybe he'll win a pair of fancy new racing skates.
When Keith inevitably tracks him down, he's going to need them.
