Following a nearly fatal mission, Lance can't shake the fear that he's not as important as he thought he was. He wants to belong, and have the team trust him, but Lance isn't sure they should. It's worse when the voice in his head suddenly comes to life. This wasn't the adventure he wanted. And when Lance overhears the crew talking about him…. The things they say may be too much.

One night, a party is held in the castle of lions, but when Keith becomes too overwhelmed and runs away from everyone, Lance goes in search of him. They spend the night holding each other (pure fluff, nothing over PG-13 here) and finding comfort in being with each other. Some pure Klance for the heart.

League rules force Ash and his friends to attend a competitive Pokemon High school, but Ash ends up fighting with his oldest rival over something far more important than a Pokemon battle. Poke, Ego, Contest and Ikarishipping. Not AU, fits into canon
