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. ⭐️

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

Elevator Pitch by: djbunn3 (sourstares), Rating: G, Word Count: 5,038 Summary: As the son of the CEO of Legend Industries, Lance knows a couple of things about the company. He knows that they hire around fifty interns to work over the summer each year. He knows that those fifty interns are divided evenly between the different departments of the industry, with a lucky few taking on assistant-style roles to the department heads.
He also knows that Keith, the intern assistant for the Special Projects department, is going to say yes to going out with him by the end of the month.
It’s simple. Lance starts work at eight in the morning, along with his mother and the rest of the higher-ups, but he tends to bounce around the different departments for most of the morning to see if there’s anything he can help out with. Keith, on the other hand, starts work at ten along with the rest of the interns, and takes the elevator going up to the twelfth floor at the same time Lance gets on to return to the sixteenth. The ride lasts less than two minutes, but Lance is positive that that’s more than enough time to get Keith to agree to go out with him.

“I’m gonna get that bastard to admit he’s still attracted to me if it’s the last thing I do.” Lance growls out, angrily shoving a handful of coins into the vending machine and giving it a gentle kick. Behind him, the entire break room has grown silent in a way he knows must be rare, holding their breaths and waiting on him to spill more. He doesn’t dare.
