Summary
When Lance crashed the Red Lion after a pitched battle with a Galra fleet, the last place he expected to wake up was in a cell on a Galra ship under the command of one Prince Lotor. He expected even less for the Prince to be strangely welcoming, to treat him as if he was a guest on his vessel and not an enemy combatant seized as a prisoner of war.
Lotor is charming, Lance is willing to admit that—and his unique working relationship with his four generals reminds Lance more than he’d like of his own team. The longer he spends with Lotor, the more he likes him - and the more he feels like while he might’ve been the seventh wheel with Voltron, he could have a real, genuine place here.
Meanwhile, Lotor finds himself far more interested in Lance himself than he intended. This was all supposed to be a game, to lure one of the Paladins away from the fold and learn all he could about Voltron, but it is rapidly becoming so much more. As the forces of the Empire and Voltron’s growing coalition begin to circle, Lotor and Lance will both have to make some very difficult choices about where, exactly, their loyalties lie.

Summary
After a year spent with Lotor and his Generals, going from sort-of-prisoner to General himself, Lance is finally back with Voltron. He and his new team had hoped that their daring rescue on Naxela, saving his former comrades from a Haggar-controlled clone of Shiro, would be enough to win an alliance--but Voltron isn't so eager to forgive and forget, and neither is Lance, especially not when he, Lotor, and the Generals end up imprisoned on the Castle of Lions.
Tensions rise as more information begins to emerge as to the fate of the original Shiro, but Lotor offers a gift in return for alliance—the location of a lost ally—and volunteers Lance to help with the recovery mission, and Voltron accepts.
Unfortunately, Haggar is cannier than anyone gave her credit for--and even once her first plan seems dealt with, she has plenty more waiting in the wings, including an old enemy of both Voltron and Lotor's who is more than eager to have his shot at revenge.
