Wire in two lights to a switch plus a fan to a switch when power is coming in between the lights without using 14-3 wire
They make products specifically for that problem.  You wire hot, neutral and ground to every location (i.e. 14/2 wire) and the switch, lamp controller and fan controller uses digital signaling to send the on/off command over the 14/2 or wirelessly.  Some can also be controlled by your smartphone etc.
