* TheStationsOfTheCanon: ''Another Word for Never'' covers the dramatic crash on Earth (albeit with Matt rather than Shiro), the hunt for the lions, the training excerises, fighting the Robeast to protect the Arusian village, Sendak capturing the castle of lions, liberating the Balmera, and Nyma stealing the Blue Lion. However because of the ForWantOfANail nature of the fic, several of these events are combined and overlapped to show the divergences from canon:
** Keith's shack on Earth doesn't exist in this fic, so Lance and Hunk find the Blue Lion on their own while exploring the caves after rescuing Matt from the Garrison.
** The first robeast attack happens in the middle of the training exercises.
** Coran is the one captured by Sendak instead of Lance, and Hunk is the only one on the inside instead of Pidge. Since everyone else is out of the castle at the time, the Balmera visitdoesn't happen until after Sendak is defeated.
** The two visits to Shay's Balmera are condensed into a single event.
