In this band AU what will happen when Lance falls for his manager Keith? Or when Keith falls for his client Lance? Especially when they both are dating other people! [cover art by glitterbadge] Also available on AO3! A playlist will be on 8tracks when finished ♡

The Paladins of Voltron are joined by Princess Allura on a mission to retrieve an artifact on a planet that reminds the Paladins of Earth. The planet is full of traps, the biggest one being that the water, if touched, would put you into a sleep-like trance and give you vivid dreams of your truest desires. But Keith doesn't know what his truest desires are, and when he is forced to go into the water, he has a dream that he might not awake from. Can Lance get him to come back to reality and face the fact that they both are in love with one another? DISCLAIMER: This was written way before Allura was revealed to be a "teenager." As such, the discourse has discouraged me from liking Shallura, even though part of me doesn't believe Allura is a teen since she looks and acts older than Keith, Lance, and Hunk (who are 16/17). I prefer ShiroxMatt now anyways.

Pain That was all Keith could remember of his childhood. Pain and screams. Even now with his new friends and Voltron the memories he has escaped from are taunting him. He is captured and the cycle he had almost managed to forget started again. Can the Voltron force convince both sides of their friend he is not a monster?

"So he never comes out of his castle?" "Never, don't ever go near him okay?" --------------- Lance is a king of a small town, he's always in his castle and never goes out. Keith moves into the town and notices that Lance never comes out. He asks why Lance never comes out and everyone says he's a monster and dangerous. Keith being Keith gets curious so he decides to check out Lance for himself. He sneaks into the castle and meets Lance. Lance gets mad but he starts to flirt with the boy. He tries to tell Keith that he should stay away from him but that made Keith want to know more about Lance. Keiths friend, Hunk doesn't want Keith near Lance so he tries to keep Keith from hanging with Lance but Keith doesn't listen. He wants to know more about Lance.

"So you want me to go on a date with your brother?" "Yes! And you can't say no because you ate my cereal and you said you'll do anything in return." Lance eats Shiros cereal so Shiro makes Lance go out with his brother, Keith.
