OK, March 29

You can buy a copy of this issue for your very own at my eBay store: https://www.ebay.com/str/bradentonbooks

Cover: Panic at the Palace -- Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, Prince William, Duchess Kate Middleton

Page 1: Big Pic -- Kevin Bacon and Juliette Lewis were among the many artists who put on a performance for Linda Perry's Rock 'N' Relief Live Stream Concert Series, benefitting Sean Penn's CORE Response organization

Page 2: Contents

Page 3: Contents

Page 4: Sparks are flying between Sandra Bullock and Brad Pitt on the set of their new action movie Bullet Train and not just when the cameras are rolling -- their chemistry is through the roof and Sandra lights up whenever she's around Brad and some of the cast and crew could swear they've seen him blushing in her presence -- Brad and Sandra have been hanging out more than your typical costars and they have a lot in common and seem to really enjoy each other's company and they'll frequently spend their breaks socializing and they can often be heard laughing over each other's stories and topics of conversations range from mutual friends and house repairs to more personal stuff, like kids

Page 6: Bruce Willis turned 66 on March 19 and as he celebrates the occasion, he has been reflecting on his life and it's been quite the journey but Bruce looks back at it all with that classic smirk

Page 7: Producers of the Gossip Girl reboot have been begging Blake Lively to join the cast of the new show but she's turned up her nose at the idea -- she's not ungrateful, because the original show made her star, but she closed the book on that part of her life a long time ago -- she's blissfully content in her role as a mom to daughters James, Inez and Betty whom she shares with her husband Ryan Reynolds and being a stay-at-home parent and filming an occasional movie sounds way more appealing to her than returning to that hothouse Gossip Girl universe -- she says she had her show and wants the new team to have theirs, but to die-hard fans, it still feels like a major snub

* After calling it quits on her romance with Ben Affleck in January, Ana de Armas is ready to play the field and Hollywood's heartthrob du jour, Rege-Jean Page has caught her eye and she was over the moon when the Bridgerton hunk recently signed on to her new thriller The Gray, which also stars Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans -- of course, Rege is gorgeous, but Ana also likes that he isn't your typical Tinseltown success story and comes from a rich cultural background, just like she does and she's hoping to get to know him better once they start shooting in L.A. -- while Ana has been warned that won't sit well with Rege's live-in girlfriend, Emily Brown, that doesn't seem to bother Ana

* Janet Jackson's life story is set to get the full documentary treatment next year, and no stone will be left unturned when it comes to her famously dysfunctional family -- the family is freaking out, as well they should be -- Janet will be brutally honest about her late father Joe Jackson, who bullied her and made her feel like she was nothing with out him but her siblings say they had it much worse especially when it came to Michael Jackson, who suffered verbal and physical abuse from Joe throughout his childhood -- Janet, who became a mom at 50 with her businessman ex, Wissam Al Mana, is also ready to tell all about their divorce and custody battle -- doing this documentary has been incredibly cathartic for her and she can't wait to shed light on her family's deep, dark secrets

Page 8: Angelina Jolie has been legally single for two years, and now she's finally ready to mingle -- she's been laying low since her 2016 split from Brad Pitt and she's feels it's time to get out there and she's eager to meet some new and interesting men and the mom of six is open to being hooked up by Hollywood pals like Ellen Pompeo, whom she was seen dining with in Beverly Hills and Angie likes the idea of dating a fellow A-lister who can relate to her about living in the spotlight and Ellen's been helping out with suggestions -- Angie is even open to joining an elite dating service and now the hunt is on to find a suitable bunch of candidates -- she wants fun and adventure again and after months of just being Mom, dressing up, putting on some perfume and engaging in stimulating conversation sounds good to Angie

* It's only been six months since Drew Barrymore launched her chirpy daytime talk show, but behind the scenes, she's on the verge of a major meltdown -- the multitasking mom who shares daughters Olive and Frankie with ex-hubby Will Kopelman, has no idea that juggling work and family would be this hard and she's feeling pressure from every side -- she desperately wants to be there for the kids, but she's trying to make her show a hit, and with her production company, she has a million others things on her plate as well -- the stressed-out star has also been chowing down on junk food and drinking too much caffeine so she can't get more than a few hours of sleep a night -- Drew doesn't want to let anyone down, but if she doesn't dial it back, she's going to collapse from exhaustion

* Matthew Perry announced his engagement to his on-off girlfriend Molly Hurwitz in November, but he seems to be having second thoughts -- he's crazy in love, but he's scared of messing up a good thing by making things official and he also worries what kind of husband he'll make given his health woes and battles with addiction -- Molly has faith in Matthew, but she can see wedding planning is stressing him out, even more so now that the Friends reunion is set to start shooting and he's pushing himself to go through with it, but his doubts are gnawing away at him

Page 10: Red Hot on the Red Carpet -- stars show some skin in dramatic decolletage-baring frocks -- Nicole Richie, Aja Naomi King

Page 26: Inside My Home -- Chelsea Handler's sleek setup -- she is checking out of her longtime L.A. home

Page 28: In 2009, LeAnn Rimes made headlines when she was caught hooking up with her costar Eddie Cibrian while they were both married to other people and now, more than a decade later, she is opening up about that time in her life and spilling secrets that she's never shared before -- looking back, LeAnn thinks it's unfair that she got raked over the coals like that and the public shaming caused her to suffer panic attacks and all LeAnn did was fall in love -- of course, there are likely big regrets about the way everything happened, but she and Eddie never meant to hurt anyone and they just had this connection they couldn't walk away from and a few months after their romance was revealed LeAnn parted ways with then-husband Dean Sheremet and Eddie filed for divorce from Brandi Glanville and they wed in 2011 -- while LeAnn has been a great stepmom to Eddie's sons Mason and Jack, she'd love to have a child of her own someday and she and Eddie have tried and tried with no success and now that she's pushing 40, they know time is ticking and they could always go the surrogate route, and they just might do it if it doesn't happen naturally in the next few months

Page 29: Liam Hemsworth has been dating Gabriella Brooks for 15 months, and he's so smitten that he could put a ring on it any day now -- Liam's made it clear that he's ready to walk down the aisle again after calling it quits in longtime love Miley Cyrus in 2019 -- everyone is thrilled because Gabriella is so sweet and easygoing, which is just what Liam needs -- Gabriella has already gotten the stamp of approval from the Hemsworth clan, who had long been skeptical of Miley and when Liam brought Gabriella home, his parents thought, that's more like it -- now that Liam's settled in at his new $5 million spread on Byron Bay, all signs point to him popping the question because he's never been happier

* Shedding post-pregnancy weight is never easy but luckily Katy Perry has a secret weapon to help her get back in shape which is Orlando Bloom -- Katy had already dropped 35 pounds since giving birth to the couple's first child, Daisy Dove, thanks to her fitness-obsessed fiance and Orlando has her eating five small vegan meals a day and he follows the same diet to make it easier for her, and Orlando makes sure she hikes or swims at least five days a week and those are the type for fun activities where he can join her -- Orlando's also her biggest cheerleader: during their recent Hawaiian getaway, Katy was nervous because she felt she hadn't lost enough weight but Orlando told her she was one sexy momma and he really is her biggest supporter

* Despite the pandemic, Nicole Kidman's remained one of the busiest women in Hollywood, which is getting under her stuck-at-home husband's skin -- while Keith Urban was forced to cancel his concert tour last year, Nicole had a whirlwind 2020, shooting her miniseries Nine Perfect Strangers in Australia and her historical thriller The Northman in Northern Ireland back-to-back and it's been incredibly hard on Keith because it drives him crazy not being able to get out there on stage -- Nicole hates seeing him the dumps, but she's told him he's lucky to be able to spend so much time with their daughters Sunday and Faith -- with Nicole set to play comedy legend Lucille Ball in Being the Ricardos, which starts filming this spring, that can only put more stress on the marriage but Nicole has no plans to slow down, and she's not making any apologies

Page 30: Patrick Duffy and Linda Purl went from zero to 60 practically overnight, but their turbo-charged romance appears to be slowing down -- ever since Patrick and Linda reconnected last summer, the late-in-life lovebirds have been joined at the hip at Linda's Colorado home, where things have gotten too close for comfort because Patrick's a laid-back guy, but he hasn't had a moment to himself because Linda is always pushing him to get outdoors and do stuff with her and Patrick feels the need for more space and some along time -- spending every moment together and hanging on each other's every word was fun for a while, but they don't want to lose their independence and they realize they need to bring their relationship back down to earth if they actually want to go the distance

* After nearly five blissful years together, Britney Spears and Sam Asghari are still going strong, and it looks like a baby could be in their near future -- Sam recently sent tongues wagging when he revealed that he wants to take their relationship to the next step and be a young dad and Britney is totally on board because she has always wanted another child and now with Sam raring to go, she figures it's the perfect time -- growing her family would be a welcome distraction from Britney's bitter battle with her father Jamie Spears over her controversial conservatorship

* Love Bites -- Jenni "JWoww" Farley and Zack Carpinello engaged, Morena Baccarin and husband Ben McKenzie welcomed a son named Arthur, Nicolas Cage and Riko Shibata married

Page 32: Cover Story -- Palace in Crisis -- the Royal Family is in disarray following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's bombshell tell-all -- what really offended them was how much Harry and Meghan said they love Queen Elizabeth in one sentence and attacked the institution, everything she stands for and works for, in the next -- it's going to take a miracle for Harry to reconcile with his family after what he and Meghan revealed

Page 36: Celebrity Hall Passes -- stars reveal the Hollywood crushes their partners have granted as freebies -- Eric Decker gets Jessica Alba and his wife Jessie James Decker gets Post Malone

Broken and Whole

https://archiveofourown.org/works/21314665

Chloe was brave… or Chloe was reckless.

At times it was hard to tell.

It was easy to seem brave when consequences were an abstract concept in a foreign tongue that she had yet to learn.

Somehow, whether by sheer dumb luck, or her parents’ and Max’s efforts to temper her wildest flights of fancy into something more reasonable, if not entirely safe, the pain of consequences had yet to leave their mark on her life.

With the beautiful naivety of youth, she fought her parents for the freedom of the skies while they desperately tried to tether her to the ground in the hope they could keep her from flying too close to the sun.

With Max, it was different.

A word from Max could stop her mid flight and call her back to earth, for it was no fun soaring through the clouds if her best friend, her first mate, was too scared to enjoy the height.

Together they were more than the sum of their parts, they balanced each other’s extremes.

Where Chloe’s eyes scoured the endless horizon of possibility, seeking adventure in the unknown, Max’s were drawn to the treacherous depths below; to the reefs and rocks that would sink, the waves that would capsize and the monsters that lurked in the deep, waiting to swallow them whole.

Together they managed to keep their ship afloat, to navigate through danger and adventure alike.

But then everything changed.

Chloe’s blessed run of luck ran out, and instead of learning about consequences by a thousand small bruises, scrapes and cuts, she was sliced open in one huge gash. A cut to the bone that bled and bled and bled.

Too many hours on the road and a red light not seen was all it took for a truck to end a life and shatter more.

Her father’s death left her in so many pieces that she feared she would never again be whole. But she knew deep down that with enough time and her first mate beside her, they could stitch her back together. Sure, it would be bloody and messy, but eventually she would fine.

Not satisfied with one loss, fate twisted the knife and tore Max away on the day of William’s funeral, right when she needed her most.

From casket, to car, to Seattle; Max left.

Without Max, her gaping cut weeped and festered, poisoning the air with the vitriolic bile of a teenager that had lost too much, too soon, all at once.

Their ship had foundered and Chloe was adrift, cut off from their haven where the future was bright and anything seemed possible. Instead she was gasping and tumbling and desperately trying to stay afloat in the turbulent high seas where she knew with terrible certainty that anything was possible.

Chloe was reckless… or Chloe was brave.

It was easy for moments of bravery to seem reckless when consequences were no more than a possible end to suffering.

While Chloe didn’t intend to invite Death to dinner, if they tapped on the door with their scythe, she would welcome them in. It wasn’t that she had a death wish, she was death indifferent at best, or at worst; take your pick. She could be or not be. Whatever.

She trudged through the days with an air of cold apathy only those with nothing left to lose could project.

Each morning, she armoured herself with torn clothes and spikes, and wrapped herself in barbed words and murderous looks to keep others from crawling under her skin and into her heart.

Better to be alone than to open yourself to loss.

But no one can block out the sun.

Rachel Amber swept into her life; a radiant star burning bright. And for once, Chloe didn’t have to strive like Icarus; the sun came to her. She was soaring. Her long winter gave way to spring. The feelings she’d numbed, kept frozen in thick glacial ice, thawed and flooded all at once.

Rachel Amber brought Chloe light. She brought fire and passion and purpose; a reason to get out of bed, a reason to hope. In return, Chloe gave her heart.

But like the sun, Rachel brought light to many. She collected hearts like jewellery. Like charms on a bracelet, or earrings or beads on a necklace.

She was the wind, free and wild. She danced through lives like a tempest, whirling and scattering and flinging hearts to the far corners of the earth, leaving lives in chaotic disarray. She didn’t mean to, it was just who she was.

Rachel was never meant for just one person, and the more Chloe grasped, the quicker she slipped through her hands.

Then, one day she was gone.

Chloe wasn’t reckless, she wasn’t brave. She wasn’t much of anything for a while.

She was consumed by loss and uncertainty. Surely Rachel wouldn’t leave without her, without so much as a goodbye. Surely.

She latched onto that thought with the tenacity of an animal fighting for its life. She was fighting for her life. Rachel was everything and Chloe was desperate with a grief she dared not name as such for fear she would somehow manifest what she feared most.

She threw herself into the search for Rachel with a single mindedness that put shame to the lacklustre efforts of Rachel’s family and Arcadia Bay’s finest Prescott lapdogs in blue.

When Rachel disappeared, she took with her a piece of Chloe and left behind a new void to join those left by William and Max. Though the three never met in life, they held hands in Chloe’s heart, a paper chain of loss cut from the fabric of Chloe’s love.

She felt like she was more void than human, like she was falling, tumbling endlessly through the dark nothingness of space, collapsing into the vacuum within.

Chloe was empty, until she wasn’t.

Until the unexpected happened. Until a part of her that she’d given up all hope of ever seeing again returned home.

Max wasn’t light, she wasn’t a blazing sun of fire and passion. But that was ok. Chloe still bore the scars from her dance with a star, she didn’t need more.

Max was the smell of pancakes in the morning, the warmth of a soft blanket on a cold winter’s night. She was the laughter of a pun so bad it came full circle back to good, she was the comfort of hot cocoa in the fall and the satisfying crunch of leaves underfoot. She was the salt in the air and the wind in her sails.

But most of all, Max was her home.

And Chloe was brave, and reckless and everything in between. She was empty and full and broken and whole.

But most of all, she was alive. Alive in a way that she hadn’t been since their ship first ran aground. The day childhood ended, when rose-tinted glass shattered and the world was revealed to be ugly and vile.

She wasn’t ok, but neither was Max and that was alright. Rachel was gone and so was the town, but they were together. That was what mattered. They were more than the sum of their parts once again. Together they could mend themselves and each other and one day, when their wounds had closed and the scabs had fallen, one day, they would be able to share their hearts.

Of Bluebells and Stars

I guess I’ll finish My Treasure and Hopeful Longing over the next couple of days because Latte was an overwhelming winner. Sorry to everyone who voted for something else but I’m working on those tonight as well. Either way, I hope everyone enjoys!❤️

Ever since Lance was a little kid, amber had always been his favourite colour. When he told his parents that fact, they thought it was because of his fascination with dinosaurs at the time and because he had watched Jurassic Park for the twentieth time that week. Instead, he showed them the glowing script on his forearm.

“HI,” in scribbled, nearly illegible handwriting to the adults. All at once a celebration broke out, his father lifted him up with a joyous laugh and spun him around the room. It wasn’t long before they explained the concept of soulmates to him. Minutes later he was sitting in his room, happily scribbling up and down his arm in response. At that point, he hadn’t learned much English and only responded in either Spanish or drew pictures.

His parents weren’t able to tell him much about soulmates. Mostly because there wasn’t much they could tell him. The colour that appeared on his skin could be of any significance to his soulmate. Their eye colour, their hair colour, their favourite colour, the name of their pet, literally anything that had to do with colours. It was confusing to think about it, so he didn’t. All he needed to know, was that he would be able to tell when they met.

It still baffled him though, that they had been talking for years and knew so much about each other without revealing their identities in any way. They had planned their futures out together without considering that they didn’t even know each other’s names yet.

“Good Morning my bluebell,” Lance woke up to the script across his arm the morning before the Kerberos mission was set to launch. All their classes had been cancelled for the day so they could attend the launch site and learn how launches were done.

He groggily reached out for the marker he kept on his bedside table.

“Still calling me that?”

“I know you like it besides it’s been like 10 years,”

“I guess you’re right, what about you? Still like being called my star?”

“I’d be pretty accurate right now,”

“What do you mean?”

“I wanted to tell you this earlier but I was so swamped with work,”

“Don’t keep me waiting!”

“Okay, okay… I’m going to be going into space, to a planet called Kerberos,”

He physically reeled back at the news. The Kerberos mission was launching from the Garrison; with Garrison personal. If what they were saying was true, then he could go and see them before they lifted off!

“I’m going to be at the launch! Maybe we can meet before you go!”

“Bluebell, we can’t,”

What? Why couldn’t they? They were so close, they would literally only be a short distance apart at the launch site. Did they not want to see him? Maybe they didn’t love him as much as he thought they did. No, that couldn’t be true.

“Why? I thought you said that you wanted to meet me,”

“I do! I want to Bluebell! But if I see you now, I don’t think I could leave,”

“I guess I would have that effect on you,”

It hurt to admit but he could understand where they were coming from.

“It pains me to say but I won’t be able to write with you the entire time either,”

“You don’t have to explain everything to me, I understand,”

“I’m just going to miss talking to you so much,”

“If it makes you feel better, I can still send you messages,”

“I would love that Bluebell, thank you. I’m sorry I have to get ready for the launch,”

A smile spread across his face as he read. There was no way in hell he wasn’t going to write every day.

This mission would be defining space travel for years to come and to think that his soulmate was going to be one of the explorers that actually went, what were the chances?

Obviously, it couldn’t be Commander Holt; that left Takashi Shirogane and Matt Holt. Both extremely smart and handsome men. He would be lucky to have either of them. As he threw on his uniform, he couldn’t believe how close he was to meeting his soulmate.

Only one more year.

Dead. They were all dead. The Garrison said it themselves; no survivors due to pilot error. That couldn’t be right though, Shiro was one of the best pilots that the Garrison had ever seen, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been chosen for the mission.

He sat in shocked silence on his bed. Nothing had been able to knock himself out of it. Not the hunger that cramped in his stomach, nor the dry numbness of his mouth from thirst.

All at once, everything finally bubbled to the surface. He hunched over his knees as sobs poured out of his mouth. His nails racked into the skin of his arms, hard enough for blood to creep down his skin. He reached out fumbling for his marker and frantically started marking at his skin.

please answer me

are you alive

are you hurt

i love you please don't be hurt

please don't be dead

i cant lose you my star

i love you

i lov-

The marker smeared in a line as Lance collapsed against his bed again, sobs wrenching out of his stomach. He wanted to throw up. He wanted to sleep. He just wanted him to be alive.

He fell back against the wall and he curled up on himself. With a miserable whimper, his fingers traced his last message, perfectly written where it always was.

“I love you my star,” on the back of his right hand. He rewrote it every day, tracing carefully over each letter perfectly. He had to tell him that he was still waiting for him, that there would always be someone waiting for him.

Now, he would be waiting forever.

The worst part was that didn’t know who he should be mourning for.

The sky was bleak and dark. The wind rushed around them, chilly for that time of year. Perfect for a funeral.

He attended it, just as every other student had. Hunk, bless his heart didn’t ask any questions at Lance’s forlorn face, only stood at his side as a solid support. They stayed long after everyone had left, keeping their heads bowed as Colleen and her daughter Katie passed by them. He approached the graves, carefully placing a white rose on Sam’s before facing the other two. A red rose for each.

“I’m sorry I didn’t get to say goodbye to you,” he whispered, kneeling between the two markers. Hunk stood silently behind him like a guardian.

“I hope you knew how much I loved you. How much I still love you,” his fingers dug into the dirt, clumping it underneath his fingernails.

“I’m never going to find someone who understood me, or could make me feel better, or made me feel the way that you did,” his eye finally flooded over and tears dropped to the ground beneath him. His head tilted towards the sky as if to look for any sign of the lost craft.

“You’ll always be in my heart, my star,” he whispered to the universe.

Thunder crashed above them as the sky finally opened up and rain fell upon them, soaking him to the bone in seconds. Despite, the miserable state he was in, he looked up to the clouds. Rumbling like a lion’s roar boomed across the sky, and something like hope began thrumming through Lance’s veins.

Instead of the mournful ending, he expected when buying the roses, it felt like a new beginning. Not for him though, for them. At the time he didn’t know who them was, but it was the feeling he got when he thought of the moment that they would meet. The moment they took their first picture. The moment they would kiss for the first time, or go on a date. Or when they would get married.

It wasn’t the end. He didn’t know what was telling him that but he believed it. Now, he just had to find him.

The marker ink on his hand was switched out with amber coloured tattoo ink later that year. Hunk went with him to get it, worried the whole way, asking if he was sure about it and if it would break the Garrison’s rules. As soon as it was done though, he was just as amazed by it.

“Why were so against it before?”

“Just to make sure that you were as committed as possible,” he shrugged, moving his hand side to side. “You know like Phoebe did with Rachel’s pregnancy test,”

“Not the same thing but I appreciate it,”

Telling Hunk about Matt and Shiro was surprisingly one of the easiest things he ever had to do. He was so excited for him that he would interrupt to ask a question and was always happily squealing.

It was within that same month that Keith was booted from the Garrison, Lance was moved up to fighter class and they got a new teammate named Pidge. After various months of research into the lives of his possible soulmates, it was easy to tell that it was indeed Katie Holt.

“Not my problem,” he muttered to himself as he skimmed through the interviews that the Holt’s had given before and after the Kerberos mission. If she was disguised then something must have happened, even if she looked exactly like Matt but two feet shorter.

Evidently, he was right to trust her since it was her technology that led them to Shiro, Keith and Blue, something he will always be eternally grateful for.

“I should thank you, Lance right?” He smiled at him, offering his hand out to him. He stared at it for a second, a metal hand. Maybe he had never gotten his messages. With a small smile, he closed the gap and shook his hand firmly. He tuned out as Pidge and Hunk made their introductions and they made a plan to find whatever was making the strange readings in the canyon. Slowly he reached out and snagged one of the markers off of Keith’s desk and squiggled a line on top of his left hand.

He hadn’t felt anything that might hint of Shiro being his soulmate but he had to be safe. For all he knew, whatever kept him captured in space did something to him that messed with their connection.

As they split up, Hunk to make the Geiger counter with Keith and Pidge watching him in curiosity, he reached out and lightly tapped on Shiro’s arm.

“Could I talk to you alone for a second?” He asked nervously, barely able to glance up at him. Thankfully, he noticed the hesitation and quickly ushered Lance outside to where he and Keith were before they went back inside.

“What’s up?” He asked with concern, noticing the sheen of sweat that was on Lance’s forehead.

“I know this is weird but could you take off your glove for a second?” He blinked quickly in confusion but complied, even holding it out for Lance to examine.

His heart dropped to his stomach as his eyes searched the clean skin. He was still up there, or he was dead. Oh God, he had no way of knowing. Shiro wasn’t his soulmate, it was Matt and he wasn’t here. Why wasn’t he here?

“Lance? Are you okay? What happened?” Shiro asked, reaching out to shake him slightly.

“I guess it’s Matt,” he muttered to himself.

“What?” He tried again, lifting Lance’s face to meet his eyes. It wasn’t obvious but there were tears welling up in his eyes.

“Matt’s my soulmate but I didn’t know. He only told me that he was going on the Kerberos mission but I didn’t know if it was you or him,” he explained quickly, pausing to sniff every now and then.

“Wait. You’re Bluebell?” He asked, his voice betraying his bafflement.

“He told you?”

“Told me? He wouldn’t shut up about the amazing soulmate he would be coming back to,” he grumbled crossing his arms.

“Really?”

“Oh my god, yes, no offence to you or anything but after six months of hearing every single story he could possibly belt out it got a little annoying, then he started mooning over every message he got from you, I’ll admit that was cute though,”

He laughed a little at the thought. The sun finally went down in the distance and the stars started shining across the sky.

“I miss him,” he breathed out quietly.

“He’s strong, we’ll find him,” he promised, laying his hand on Lance’s shoulder. Despite the new sense of loss that was weighing him down. He believed him.

Before he knocked on Pidge’s door, he warily glanced down the hallway. Which in hindsight was pretty unnecessary considering that more than half of the team knew about him and Matt.

“Lance?” She asked, peeking out from behind the door. He awkwardly raised a hand in greeting.

“Can I talk to you about something?” He asked hesitantly. She blinked for a second before fully opening the door and waving for him to come in. He carefully walked over the junk strewn around her room as she confidently made it back to her desk and began typing on her laptop again.

“Can I sit?”

“Sure,”

He sat on the bed of her bed, nervously picking at the skin of his nail beds, looking for the right words to start with.

“Is this because of the girl thing?” She suddenly asked breaking the silence. His head whipped up to see her glowering at him. “Because I’m just as capable of a paladin as before, nothing changed!”

“What! No! That’s not why I’m here at all! I already knew you were a girl!” He defended himself, shaking his head frantically. She looked at him dubiously as she leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms.

“What was with your reaction then?” He laughed and ran his fingers through his hair.

“I kind of just wanted you to think that you fooled somebody. If I’m being honest, I’m pretty sure Keith was lying when he said that he knew,” he whispered the last part dramatically making Pidge laugh.

“Well, how did you know? You’re not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed,” she teased walking over to sit beside Lance on the bed. He let out a long sigh, running his hand over the skin of his hand.

“You look just like your brother like that,” he stated quietly, looking at Pidge with sorrow. Her heart stopped at the look. She had never seen someone look that distraught without crying, not since the boy at the funeral.

“That was you, you were the one that stayed after the funeral,” she realized. “Why did you stay so long?”

“That’s what I wanted to talk to you about, I thought that you deserved to know,” he said, a small sad smile stretching across his face. She waited patiently, now wasn’t the time to rush into things and demand.

“Matt’s my soulmate,”

She blinked in complete bafflement at the words. Her heart was beating out of her chest now and a wide smile was building on her face.

“You’re Bluebell!?” She yelled, shaking his shoulders.

“Yes?” He got out as he was being tossed around like a rag doll. He certainly was expecting this. Disbelief obviously, maybe some anger and disapproval or straight up dismissal if he was being honest.

Without warning, Pidge suddenly burst into tears and she shoved her head in Lance’s chest.

“Pidge! Are you okay? Did I do something? I’m sorry,” he spat out frantically, hands hovering anxiously over her back.

“You didn’t do anything wrong, Lance, this is one of the best days of my life!” She cheered jumping up to do a little dance around the room.

“What are you talking about?” He asked in confusion. She stopped and plopped back on the bed beside him.

“Lance, ever since I was a little girl, Bluebell was a part of my life, a part of all of our lives really. Matt shared everything you ever said to him with me, everything. Your dreams, your fears, your goals, your plans for the future with him,”

“You’re already a part of our family and I felt like I grew up with another sibling because I just felt so connected to you through him. Sometimes it felt like I was just as excited to meet you as Matt was,”

“You got him through some of the worst things I’ve ever seen him go through with just an ‘I love you’ and a little heart, I’ve just never seen anyone so in love,” she admitted, holding Lance’s hands as he let out a little sniffle.

“I’m so lucky to have a future brother in law like you,” Lance’s face scrunched up and the corners of his mouth wobbled up in a watery smile.

“Thank you so much Pidge,” he cried, pulling her to his chest in a hug. “I’m going to do whatever I can to help you find him,”

The next few months were hard for everyone; losing and finding Shiro, switching lions, reassigning leadership, and Keith leaving to join the Blade of Marmora. To put it simply, emotions were running high and they were extremely glad that they would be working on Olkarion for a bit, a least until Pidge got back from her mission.

As they watched Coran leading two giant aliens out of the lift, their coms crackled and Pidge’s voice broke through.

“Hey guys, I’m just breaking through the atmosphere but I was wondering if you could grab that drive with Galra codes from the bridge? I really need it,” her voice sounded sombre and downtrodden immediately making him straighten in attention.

“Don’t worry Pidge, I got your back,” he replied pulling his helmet back off and heading towards the lift.

“Whoa, this technology is amazing,” Matt breathed out in awe, eyes darting across Green’s interior.

“Just wait for where we’re going, the whole place is made up of advanced technology,” she gushed. Her heart was beating rapidly in excitement. She finally had her brother back after all this time. She was heading to one of her favourite planets that they had ever visited and she was going to be able to introduce him to everyone.

Oh my god. She was going to be reuniting her brother and his soulmate. Okay, now her hands were shaking with excitement. This was officially going to be the best day of her entire life.

“Are you okay Pidge?” Matt’s voice broke her out of her thoughts and she sent a beaming smile back at him.

“I’m just excited! Everyone is going to be so surprised!” She admitted.

“Especially a certain someone,” she sang in her mind. As she saw Olkarion nearing she motioned for Matt to stay silent and turned on her coms.

“Hey guys, I’m just breaking through the atmosphere but I was wondering if you could grab that drive with Galra codes from the bridge? I really need it,” she sent, hoping that they would take the bait.

“Don’t worry Pidge, I got your back,” Lance quickly replied. She winced slightly at the sadness in his voice.

As they shot through the sky, Green let out a triumphant roar and landed in front of the Castle. As she climbed down the stairs she could see the sympathetic expression they were wearing. They quickly changed to surprise when they saw Matt climb down behind her.

“Hey guys, this is my brother Matt!” She greeted sending a smile to everyone.

“Matt, this is Hunk and Coran,” she introduced gesturing at the two of them. “Obviously, you know Shiro too,” she said pointing at the other side of Hunk. His eyes widened and he immediately turned to greet him.

“Oh my god Pidge, oh my god, I see what you did here,” Hunk gushed as he walked over to her and Allura, watching Matt with glittering eyes as he reunited with Shiro. As soon as he was done, he turned to Coran to formally introduce himself and Shiro walked over to the two of them.

“If he doesn’t realize who Lance is immediately, I’m going to kill him,” he smiled as he attentively listened to Coran’s long introduction and what he did on the Castle.

“Oh, same,”

“Obviously,”

“And this is Allura, princess of Altea,” she said as Matt finally turned away from Coran. He let out a loud gasp as he looked at her.

“Whoa! Oh my goodness, you are so beautiful!” Matt laughed posing dramatically. “It is my honour to meet you, princess,”

His gaze drifted across her shoulder to meet eyes with deep blue ones instead. The exact shade that always covered his arm on Earth. His pose dropped as amazement and disbelief set in and he got lost in his gaze. He slowly walked forward, walking around Allura to stand in front of Lance.

“But it’s nothing compared to your’s, my bluebell,” he smiled softly taking Lance’s hand in his and gently pressing a kiss to his knuckles. The drive in Lance’s hand slid out of his grip and hit the ground in surprise.

“Matt,” he whispered. “You’re here,”

Matt desperately tried to keep face as he wrapped Lance in a tight hug; but feeling the warmth of someone he had cried out for, for so many nights as he laid in a cold dark cell seeped through his clothes, he let himself cry. So long ago, he let himself believe that he would never see his bluebell, he would never meet them and they would never know what truly happened to him.

“I never thought I would see you,” Matt rasped pulling back to frame Lance’s face with his hands.

“I never gave up hope,” Lance smiled as tears rolled down his cheeks. Matt leaned down to push their foreheads together and look into his eyes.

“I could have never pushed through without you,” he said softly at Lance’s confused gaze, he slipped off his glove to show the tattoo on his hand. It exactly mirrored his, except for the colour.

“Whenever I thought of giving up, I looked at this and I knew that I had to fight to get home,” he explained.

“You don’t have to fight so hard now, I’ll be there to help you,” Lance returned, reaching up to hook his arms over Matt’s shoulders. He smiled, closing his eyes as his entire form relaxed against Lance’s.

“I love you, my star,”
