Summary
Shiro’s good at looking forward. So good at it, he’d stopped looking at Keith, and the next time he’d turned his gaze that direction, Keith was no longer there. Oh, he was physically present, standing on the bridge of the Atlas, or having lunch in the canteen, or running drills with the paladins. But something between them had dissolved—something Shiro hadn’t known could ever vanish. Complacency kills in more ways than one.
When they arrive at Keith’s room, Keith puts his hand on the sensor beside the door. It opens, and Keith takes one step inside—
The lions are gone now, and with them, Shiro’s last shared connection with Keith. The two of them lead separate lives, and it’s not anywhere near the future Shiro had let himself hope for in his weakest moments.
He can’t let it go on like this any longer. This war has already taken everything from him, including his own life. Maybe Keith is gone for good, but in that case, Shiro’s got nothing left to lose by trying.

Summary
Everyone keeps insisting that Keith is dead; no one but Shiro seems interested in keeping his memory alive. Keith is a dying flame, cradled in the cathedral between Shiro’s palms and Shiro is his sole shelter against the oncoming storm.
“I made a promise," Shiro says. "I told Keith I'd never give up on him—and I won’t.”
“What happens when one of our satellites finds the Persephone? How will you convince yourself he’s still out there?” Adam pauses, “How many times are you going to keep doing this to yourself?”
“As many times as it takes. Until I find him.”
Officer Keith Kogane pilots the Kerberos mission. Shiro loses his best friend to the vacuum of space.

Summary
“Back at the Garrison when we were learning about warfare medical aid, the officers taught us battlefield amputations. I never thought it would be useful information. The idea just seemed so bizarre. I was going to explore the stars. Not fight wars.”
Shiro isn't the same. Keith can tell he's hiding something from him. He's determined to find out what.Bookmarked by Fresia (namestheproblem)
