AO3 TAG

Establishing Conversations by: BleuSarcelle, Word Count: 3,495, Rating: G, Summary: Maybe it was the dark smooth looking skin.

Nah, it was probably the fine jaw line, or maybe the cheekbones. Hair? Maybe? Curly on the ends with a few bangs falling on his face. It might have been the sharp blue eyes that roamed around the pool like a hawk.

All that Keith knows is that his gay heart needs to talk to that lifeguard, right now.

“Pidge, I need you to push me to the pool right now and let me drown.”

(OR the one where Keith pines for the hot lifeguard and tries all day to talk to him some how. It doesn’t end like he expected.)

🌟 Eyes Off You by: arcadevia, Word Count: 16,118, Rating: T+, Summary: “I like it,” Keith blurts, practically signing off the measurements of his coffin with how straightforward that feedback is.

Lance’s head swiftly tips downward to finally look at Keith. His face is the shell of a reaction, toeing between something wild and something passive. A few locks of hair swing down and hang loose along the edge of his forehead, kind of like Allura’s doll-like ringlets that dance around with every expressive motion she makes. The overhead light is barely obscured from Keith’s view by his friend’s towering figure, and it’s almost like Lance is simultaneously both something nostalgic and completely foreign.

“You do?” Lance asks with a genuine curious lilt. His knuckles shift anxiously against the seams of the shorts’ pockets.

Yeah.”

Keith can’t take his eyes off Lance.

Or: 3 times Keith was struck dumb by Lance’s beauty and 1 time he didn’t just stare.

Drowning in a Sea of Stars by: plumeriafairy14, Word Count: 4,991, Rating: T+, Summary: Lance never thought that he’d see the very stars of the universe in the shattered irises of someone who would never see them. Or him.
Even so, that will not stop Lance from making Keith see how truly beautiful he is to him.

heat waves (late nights in the middle of june) by: ShatterinSeconds, Word Count: 17,595, Rating: T+, Summary: “You were planning on swimming at night too,” Keith accuses him, crossing his arms. “Admit it, hypocrite.

Eyes darting back in panic, Lance waves his hands around wildly, sputtering nonsense. “No, nope, I always follow the rules. My lifeguard senses were tingling and I knew there was someone I had to save.”

“I’m not that stupid,” Keith says with an eye roll. “You had the same idea as I did.”

Lance cringes, not denying it anymore as his mouth snaps closed. Keith wouldn’t believe him even if he still tried; he smirks. “How about this becomes our little secret, ok?”

Since he’ll never see Lance again, Keith accepts the outstretched pinky, wrapping his own finger around it. They shake on it, completing the pact. “Whatever.”

(or Keith gets caught up in a whirlwind summer romance)

Lessons by: amycoolz, SylWritesStuff, Word Count: 75,264, Rating: E, Summary: Keith has been nothing but a thorn in Lance’s side since the mullet-haired ass first walked into the classroom. But when he decides to get himself shoved into the deep end and, wow, can’t even swim, Lance has to save his pretty self and then Pidge volunteers him to teach Keith how to swim. Great. Just great.

Summer days and metal baseball bats by: BlowingYourMind, Word Count: 3,796, Rating: G, Summary: He tried to kick and swim upwards, but he couldn’t tell what way was up and what way was down and his body wasn’t cooperating with him, remaining annoyingly limp.

That was when he felt warm hands loop around his waist. Keith instinctively wrapped his numb arms around his savior’s neck and said savior helped him adjust before he was kicking against the pool bottom and propelling them to the surface. When they breached it, Keith let out a wheezing breath, unsure if the substance falling from his face was tears, blood, or chlorinated pool water.

OR // Keith finds out that Lance McClain is a lifeguard in the worst possible way.

The Impossible Case of Lance McClain And Keith Kogane by: joobiestories, Word Count: 3,732, Rating: T, Summary: Lance is convinced he cannot fall in love with Keith. Everyone else begs to differ, including Keith.

*bonus!* LIFEGUARD KEITH 🌊

Surface Level by: Captain_Amiraca, Word Count: 29,173, Rating: G, Summary: Keith wanted to get away, he needed to get away. Even if away meant traveling halfway across the country to work for his cousin as a lifeguard, and live with the other college students there. He knows he doesn’t belong, but maybe an annoying surfer named Lance can help.

Call & I’ll Be Right Over by: klanceflavored, Rating: Explicit, Word Count: 21,873 Summary: It’s a tale as old as time: Keith & Lance, two CEOs from rival companies are always neck & neck at each other’s throats until that fateful night where one drunken fun party hook up turns into something more,

Hearts are Blooming by PsychologicalColors– Rating: ? – Word Count: 1,280 – Summary: Lance recently took over his family’s flower shop, it’s not like any of his others siblings were going too. It’s not like they could beat his flower knowledge anyway.

Across the street a new tattoo parlor has opened up and its owner is hot. Now, how the hell is Lance gonna talk to him.

Pink Like Spring by Autumn_Ignited & SailUnchartedWaters (GlassAlice) – After a health scare, Lance’s grandmother is no longer able to work her flower shop. Lance is the only Fuentes that can take over. But, in order to do so, he has to leave his California life behind: all his friends, the warm weather, and the ocean he loves, to move to the ass-backwards Southern town of Peach Springs with a population smaller than his old apartment complex. Even worse, everyone there wants to chatter on with small talk and expects him to talk back (but slower). Everyone, that is, except the rude tattoo artist across the street. All alone in a new town, surrounded by a culture he doesn’t understand and everyone saying y’all all the time, Lance counts down the days until his brother can take over and he can go back to Cali for University. That is, until his heart gets stolen (by more than just the town) and he’s torn between two worlds. ⭐️

RADIO HOST

Desert Radio by: SherbetLemon, Word Count: 36,669, Rating: G, (Wayback Archive Link) Summary: When Keith crash lands in a desert, his only way back to civilization is to follow the signals of a radio show.

Lance’s cheery ramblings fill the empty desert air, and Keith finds himself bonding with the shapeless voice. He begins looking forward to meeting Lance more than actually getting help, but maybe that’s a good thing. Because you don’t get the whole picture through sound. And when the two finally meet, there are a few surprises in store.

⭐️ Video Killed the Radio Star by: europa_report, Rating: T+ Word Count: 69,468 Summary: “Yeah I… I didn’t know I had a sister,” said Keith.

Until she died last month. And now I… now I’m, um, I-I’m like a single parent to my nieces.” He took a huge breath to steady himself, waaay to worked up to be on live radio. “And I don’t know what the hell I’m doing.”

SEX WORK

after hours by: bfys, Word Count: 4,921, Rating: Explicit, Summary: It’s the atmosphere that makes Lance stay—all cool toned colours and dim lighting and music loud enough to drown out any thoughts of doubt he might have about spending the late evening hours at a strip club. Admittedly, he’s already kind of turned on just from being in the midst of all this. Maybe that makes him an easy target. Maybe he doesn’t care.

Enjoy The Show by: Queerklancing, Word Count: 17,792, Rating: Explicit, Summary: When Shiro drags Keith to a shitty nightclub at the other end of town, Keith never expected to find exactly what he was looking for.

Moth and Flame by wittyy_name – Rating: Mature – Word count: 33,335 – Summary: Keith has been coming back to Altea Tattoos for months now, and it has little to do with the fact that his best friend is the piercer and more to do with the beautiful tattoo artist with talented hands and a smile that makes him weak at the knees.

Lance has had a lot of customers in his days, left his mark on plenty of people, but none so memorable as Keith. He finds himself turning to the door with every chime of the bell, hoping to see eyes like the night sky and a shy smile that could rival the moon.

When they meet at a concert, the spark between them ignites, creating a heat that’s impossible to resist. They’re both inexplicably drawn to each other. Like a moth to a flame.

Tattoo Artist (Klance AU Month) by dutchveertje – Excerpt: 

Lance was nervous. Like, really fucking nervous. He was waiting on a chair, his leg bouncing like crazy and his fingers fidgeting with the sleeves of his jacket.

“Lance,” Keith said as he walked up to him. “You’re here.” He was wearing a tank top that showed off his tattoo sleeves nicely, and a few of the tattoos on his chest peaked out as well. He had a tablet in his hand.

“Yeah,” Lance said weakly

WEDDING PLANNER

Make My Heart A Better Place by: Emo_texas_toast, Word Count: 4,181 Rating: T+ Summary: Another successful wedding worked, another reception where Lance wasn’t asked to dance. He had years to come to terms with this fact and never expected someone to ask him now, even at his best friend’s wedding reception.

Keith was his rival, after all.

HERO / POWERS (BOTH)

If I call you Spideybabe will you call me Sweetiepool? by: cheeriomiomi (orphan_account), Word Count: 4,412, Rating: M, Summary: Keith has a love hate relationship with the new guy in town. As in, Keith as Spider-Man has a love hate relationship with the new guy Deadpool and Keith as a high school senior has a love hate relationship with the new guy Lance.

What he wasn’t ready for was for the love hate relationship to take a hard turn towards the love side and both of his annoyances to be the same person.

HERO / POWERS (KEITH)

Insurance Doesn’t Cover You by: BleuSarcelle, Word Count: 1,609, Rating: G, Summary: Lance decides to make himself comfortable, watching lazily from his seat at the fight happening in front of him. This should be the fourth fight this month and honestly, he bets it’s going to last less than ten minutes.

“Ouch, that one had to hurt.” Lance winces in sympathy when Red slams the villain against the pavement, making a hole in the ground. Great, more traffic jam. “Stay down, dude, it’s not worth it.”

But the Galra stands up and Lance is surprised. And by the way Red’s indigo eyes widen, Lance suspects he didn’t expect that neither.

[Or the one where you can’t boss Lance around even when you’re a hero]

What’s Up Danger by: iwriteshipsnotsailthem, Word Count: 30,782, Summary: Keith’s still trying to adjust to his new role of New York’s Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, and now that school’s back he’s got a whole lot more to deal with.

A Little Better Than Amortentia by: icedsonder – Rating: G – Word Count: 3,309 – Summary: He took a deep breath.

Mama’s flour covered hands. Veronica’s guitar recital. His family caked in sand and sea salt and affection.

Keith tilting his head toward the sun before practice started on the quiet pitch, a lazy smile decorating his face and managing to take the breath right out from from Lance’s chest when he walked out to survey the quidditch field on a bright fall morning.

Expecto Patronum!

A burst of bright red light shot out from the end of Lance’s wand, swirling around the tall boy before condensing into the corporeal semblance of a large, red lion. The beast walked back to where Lance stood, and he slowly turned, hesitantly meeting Keith’s wide eyed gaze.

“Surprise?” Lance said sheepishly, hoping that this was enough to get the message across (praying that it was enough).

All that we see or seem by: itotallyreadthatbook Ragibg: Not Rated – Word Count: 1,056 – Summary: Then Pidge’s face lit up and they got an expression on their face Lance definitely didn’t like.
“Hey, Lance, I didn’t know you were a Gryffindor,” they smirked. “Did you switch ties when you were in the library?”
Lance gasped and turned bright red, looking down to see that he had a red tie around his neck instead of his regular blue one.
“Shit,” he mumbled. He quickly turned around to search Keith at the Gryffindor table. At this very moment, he saw another Gryffindor student pointing out Keith’s tie, at which Keith quickly looked down.

brooms and bliss, now we kiss by: halfjackets Rating: Not Rated – Word Count: 4,600 Summary: “At the sound of my whistle, the game may commence.

Keith wasn’t sure of what McClain was doing. Lance also wasn’t sure of what he was doing.

christmas night on the garden by: reddishblue (unrealism) – Rating: T+ Word Count 4,840 – Summary: Yule Ball: The Yule Ball is a traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament (which was surprisingly allowed to be held again), and it includes a feast and a formal dance where each Champions from each school will lead with their chosen partner. It was held during Christmas Day night.

Which Keith has completely forgot about.

OR:

In which Keith forgots about Yule Ball and hangs out there with his friends and crush, Lance Serrano-McClain

Gryffindor Colors by: Jenanigans1207 Rating: Explicit – Word Count: 8,803 Summary: The whole school had this impression of him as the cool, aloof, untouchable chosen one, but that wasn’t him. He probably appeared that way because nobody bothered to get to know him, really. In reality, he was quiet, snarky and very, very lame. And totally lovestruck. Only a few people ever saw that side of him and that made him nervous. But Hunk was looking at him kindly, with no judgement and a slight smile and it allowed Keith to release the breath he was holding.

Keith,” Hunk reached his second hand under the Hippogriff’s neck and gripped Keith’s upper arm gently. “Lance would love to wear it.

He’s never even mentioned it again,” Keith replied quietly.

Then how do I know about it?” Hunk asked, raising his eyebrows.

Keith paused. That was a good point. He certainly had never told Hunk about asking Lance to wear his jersey, so the only way Hunk could know is if Lance had brought it up. The thought of Lance gushing to his friends about the opportunity to wear Keith’s jersey made a warmth creep across his cheeks. He tried to fight the small smile that wanted to control his lips, even though he knew it didn’t matter. Hunk squeezed his arm gently.

Hogwarts/HP AU by: camcatwriter – Rating: G Word Count: 2,260 – Summary: Hogwarts AU! Our very own Gryffindor Chaser Keith has a game to win. But that’s not the only exciting development to come out of this Quidditch match.

i need someone like you to lighten the load by:
slowklancing (notanannoyingfangirl), sunnyjolras Rating: Mature Word Count: 268,477 Summary: Another scrap of parchment shot out of the cup, a fourth scrap of parchment, which made no sense at all, and the Headmaster grabbed it from the air, unrolling it and reading it quietly.

The entirety of the Great Hall remained silent. It was as quiet as a tomb.

Lance Álvarez?” The Headmaster whispered, and then again, louder. “Lance Álvarez.”

Wait, what?

// Lance and Keith have always been battling it out: on the Quidditch field, in the duelling club, for the best marks in Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Keith always manages to come out in the lead.

Now, the Triwizard Tournament has been announced and Lance knows that Keith is going to beat him for the only open spot, even if he pretends that he thinks otherwise. But it doesn’t quite go the way that Lance expects, and everything changes from there.

in a heartbeat by: viren_writes (fearlesswind), Word Count: 3,187, Rating: G, Summary: Lance catches the Snitch, lips splitting in that lovely smile as he turns back to show the ball in his hands. Keith barely has time to sit back into his broom, a tired smile playing at the edge of his mouth when the second Bludger flies past him. The ball is aiming straight at Lance’s head, completely oblivious to the danger coming towards him.

‘It’s flying too fast’ Is the first thought in Keith’s mind as he glides without thinking.

and the world slowed down just for them.

(Lance doesn’t have a date for the yule ball and Keith shows up looking like a full course meal)

One Taste and You’ll be Mine by: bffimagine – Rating: T+ Word Count: 5,104 Summary: When Lance picks one of the most challenging potions known to the wizarding world as his final Potions project, he quickly realizes he has bitten off more than even a three-headed dog would be able to chew–things go very much awry. He ends up paired with Keith Kogane, star of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, just because Professor Snape is essentially the worst.

By the way, did he mention that the potion he chose is Amortentia, the most potent love potion ever brewed?

Yeah, it goes about as well as one would expect.

(Also referred to as the fic where Keith needs some damn impulse control.)

Restlessly Eager by: Sampai66 – Rating: Explicit – Word Count: 2,011 – Summary: Klance Hogwarts drabble….(ft. married professors kl)

A-ah,” Lance stuttered. “Is that your w-wand….or are you just happy to see me?” He wiggled his eyebrows as Keith lifted his head to make eye contact. Keith shot him a raised eyebrow then a smirk.

Slytherin Shades (Not Worth Trying, Why Bother Getting Up Today) by: PeachyKeener – Rating: Not Rated – Word Count: 10,009 – Summary: ‘You look so inviting yet detached, in your white rimmed (Slytherin) Shades’

Lance liked Hogwarts more than he liked the old magic school he went to. In hogwarts he had friends. In hogwarts he had a house that was like family. He was confident. He was happy. And then the boggart lesson happened.

Slytherin vs Gryffindor? by: kailaris_rites_223 – Rating: T+ – Word Count: 2,473 Summary: Lance McClain, 3rd year Slytherin seeker, believes he has a rivalry with the 3rd year Gryffindor seeker, Keith Kogane. But as it turns out, Keith doesn’t really see it that way at all. What happens when Lance actually ends up making the effort to get to know the guy—even if it’s just to try to hate him? Well, that’s something for everyone to figure out for themselves.

That really good smelling potion. by: AkiraUnknown – Rating: T+ – Word Count: 7,053 – Summary: Lance, Pidge, and Rachel are all stuck in the Hogwarts library trying to start their last assignment of the year. A potions assignment. The group runs into some complications trying to find the right potion to make (which they can’t).
