This isn't the stereotypical story of Boy saves boy. This isn't the story where they meet, one has a crisis, the other helps them, and they fall in love. This is the story of two boys saving themselves; and falling in love in the process.
"Juniberry support group; sometimes talking is the first step."
Keith is new to the support group. He doesn't want to be there; the only reason he is in the first place is because Shiro is making him. Lance, who's been in the group for a while, immediately sparks an interest in Keith. While at first, Keith is almost only annoyed with Lance, eventually romance sparks. But when Keith suddenly closes off again, Lance tries to find out what's wrong, and accidentally discovers there's more to Keith's home life than just depression.

"Two whole months of free laundry in exchange for two weeks of being my fake boyfriend. Deal?"
Keith hesitated for a moment. Was this really worth it? Hardly. Lance was an asshole, and he wasn't sure what fake dating would entail. But, free laundry was free laundry, right?
"Alright, it's a deal."
Or: Lance makes the mistake of telling his Mom he has a boyfriend coming home with him for Christmas. Keith makes the mistake of agreeing to be Lance's 'fake boyfriend'.
This is actually the best fic I've ever read. It emotionally destroyed me and then put me back together only to kill me again.
