Go the Distance by orphan_account, Rating: Mature, Word Count: 7,875 Summary: Keith is a sprinter, Lance runs long distance. Despite not competing against each other directly and despite the fact that they’re training to bring glory to the same high school track team, the two end up becoming rivals who are wholeheartedly committed to victory. Along the way, however, they find themselves awfully sidetracked by the other’s inspiring legs–er, skills.
He’s My Stranger by: VulpesVulpes713, Rating: T+, Word Count: 5,547 Summary: Keith takes the train to attend the hell hole that is his private school, and though he’s used to the weirdos and creeps who frequent the locomotive, apparently not everyone aboard is.
There’s a stranger on this train that Keith can just tell is a target. Already a group of older men have set their sights on the boy, who’s not even aware of his surroundings, that’s how zoned-out he is.
So Keith, being the kind-hearted kid he is, takes it upon himself to lend his own defensive appearance to ward off creepers who may want to harm this oblivious boy, if only to keep the guy daydreaming peacefully.
He takes his job very seriously. This is /his/ stranger after all.
I know you better by fiction, Rating: T, Word Count: 216,935, Summary: Sometimes people are a lot different then you think.
The first minute Lance steps into his new school he’s warned about Keith Kogane. They say he’s like the devil, the meanest guy you will ever meet. You better stay away from him otherwise you could get on his bad side, and then your life is over. Lance isn’t the guy to judge people just because people talk about that person. But they seem to be right, as a moment later Keith throws a freshman on the ground for speaking to him.
That is a sign for Lance to never even look at this guy. But that isn’t that easy as it sounds, cause even if he is a bully he is kind of good looking. Wait good looking? he’s a guy!
Mami always warned him to never hang out with bad people. Otherwise she will probably beat the light out of his eyes, so no way he’s going to approach a guy like that.
Till he sees this Keith in a whole different light. A way almost nobody sees him.
Keith Kogane: Nerd Avenger by GriffinRose, Rating: ?, Word Count: 3,365, Summary: There was a pattern to the people notorious bad boy Keith Kogane sent to the nurse’s office.
When his friends keep ending up on the wrong side of Kogane’s fists for no apparent reason, Lance gets curious. (And okay, maybe a little obsessive). He finds the punches aren’t actually random. Kogane just isn’t fighting for himself. He’s fighting on behalf of every other person in the school, apparently.
Lemon Boys by Autumn_Ignited, SailUncharted, Rating: T+ Word Count: 101,168, Summary: Keith has a lot going on between his duties as class president, way too much homework, and being groomed to take over his mother’s corporation. He’s gotten very used to pushing things down and ignoring them in favor of doing what is expected of him, so it’s easy to shove that whole ‘gender’ thing he’s been dealing with lately to the very far corners of his mind. He doesn’t have time to think about it anyway, and he DEFINITELY doesn’t have time for the loud, pushy, overfamiliar showboat of a new kid who just crashed into his school and his life. No matter how attractive he is.
Lance is lucky; not many kids from his neighborhood get the chance to attend the prestigious Merriweather Academy – and by ‘many’ he means ‘zero.’ Winning the lottery for a scholarship was a combination of his own hard work and sheer luck. He knows it’s going to be a culture clash, but it’s just for a year, right? If it means getting into a better university, he can suffer through anything.
Until he starts falling for the prickly class president, and has to question everything about who he is, and what this might mean for his future. (WIP: Chapters 10/?)

“What about me?” Lance snaps, glaring defiantly up at him through his bangs.
