✨⭐️ My All Time Favorite fics ⭐️✨
Antidote by ardenrabbit – Based very loosely off of @eyugho’s lovebug AU, which I love more than anything?? Thanks to them for starting this wonderful AU! Keith’s bitten by a lovebug, but this one doesn’t make him all cuddly. Instead, every moment he spends away from Lance is physically painful for him. That’s frustrating enough already without Keith having to hide his massive crush. Lance just wants to help, but he knows that Keith doesn’t like to be touched. Also hiding a massive crush, because these two are horrible at communication. This is a story about letting people in, and learning to let yourself be loved. Keith needs a lot of that. ⭐ (Wayback Archive Link)
- Antidote – Switch, Summary: My friend greenteafiend had a great idea! She said it would be cool to see what would happen if Lance were bitten instead of Keith. I got excited to write it. But this is all thanks to her, and she writes awesome stuff! Antidote is still the main fic, but this is a fun project I want to do on the side. It’s not going to be a full-fledged story in and of itself, but more like alternate scenes of key things from Antidote, but where the context is flipped. So definitely don’t read this without reading Antidote first. It won’t make a lot of sense otherwise. So yeah. This is not a standalone fic. Just fun alternate scenes! (Wayback Archive Link)
- Pretty Boy Summary: This is for the nsfw exchange! We did whatever we felt like, so I finished a deleted scene from my fic Antidote. This would’ve been after Keith and Lance’s first time together, like, the next day, but that turned into actual plot in the fic. (Wayback Archive Link)
as the world caves in by jilliancares, rating: Explicit, word count: 40,980, summary/excerpt: Keith is 18 and unlucky enough to be picked from the reaping bowl on the very last year that he’s eligible to be in the Hunger Games. It makes watching people who volunteer for the “honor” of playing in the Games, like Lance McClain, climb to the top of his shit list. He’ll kill him first. ⭐️ (Wayback Archive Link)
✨ Audience of one by Katranga, Rating: M, Word Count: 45,987, Summary: Keith stared at him again, like he was desperately searching for something in Lance that he couldn’t quite find. “There’s no way I’m one of you.”
“Don’t be so sure,” Lance said. “All humans are different. I know plenty of grouchy people.”
“Um, have I stabbed you yet? No? Then I’m not grouchy.”
// Lance gets captured by the Galra and sent to a prison ship. Keith, raised Galra, visits Lance’s cell, driven by the unshakable curiosity about the new prisoner who looks like him. // (Part 1 of Ride or Die) ⭐️ (Wayback Archive Link (Part 1, Part 2)
Blast Zone by bubblebucky/maireepicurean – In the middle of a mission, a bomb going off leaves Lance unable to hear. Still, while he’s deaf, the rest of his team are the ones that won’t listen. ⭐️
Burn After Reading by: artimess_chimes, Word Count: 9,723, Rating: T+, Summary:
Dear Diary
Is there anything that matches up to the horror and the delight of being understood?
OR Keith reads Lance’s diary behind his back and falls in love. It snowballs. ✨
🌟 calling me to come back by: aknightley, Word Count: 59,464, Rating: T+, Summary: Keith is a witch who owns a shop where he breaks curses on both magical items and people under spells. Love spells, family curses passed down generations, cursed heirlooms lurking the attic — he can handle them all. But one day a boy named Lance walks into his shop, and his curse is darker and more difficult to break than anything Keith has ever seen before: the curse is draining his magic, and without his magic, Lance will die.
🌟 ‘CAUSE EVERY TIME WE TOUCH I GET THIS FEELING by: hiuythn – Rating: Explicit – Word Count: 14,027 – Summary: “It is a blessing,” the high priest warbles. God, he’s so old that Lance is afraid he’ll just expire on the spot. “From our God of Celibacy, to aid you in your fight to keep your bodies free of worldly taint.”
“Okay,” says Lance. “Only we didn’t ask for it. We asked for your planet’s support in a war.”
Beside him, Keith is staring at his bare hand, expression stormy.
Earlier, he had placed it on Lance’s exposed wrist and something like an electric shock had ripped through them at the touch.
“You should’ve told us that participating in your religious ceremony would do this to us,” he says now, a growl under his words.
The high priest falters in his tracks, confused by their lack of gratitude.
Yeah, fuck you, man. Don’t go around giving people spiritual STDs.
⭐️ Cores of Diamond by: speaks, Word Count: 25,648, Rating: Mature, Summary: Falling in love is easy, as it turns out. Painfully easy. All it takes is one smile, one tender unguarded second with the boy beneath Lance’s bravado, and that’s it. He’s done for. No questions, no bartering, no phase of denial. But if falling for Lance is the easiest thing Keith has ever done, then learning to express it is the hardest. So if he can’t say it, can’t put into words the way the entire world hinges around the moment Lance barged into his lifeㅡ
ㅡwell then he’ll just have to settle for showing him.
⭐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.
don’t wake me, i’m not dreaming by: jilliancares – rating: explicit – word count: 80,455 – summary: After an incident at a banquet, Lance and Keith are forced to convince everyone that they’re dating, including their own teammates. Apparently, the fate of their newly-formed and highly volatile alliance depends on it. 🌟
⭐️ Drummer Boy by: klancekorner, Rating: Explicit, Word Count: 50,188 Summary: Lance is 100%, without a doubt, straight. He has the perfect girlfriend and has never wanted anything more. But suddenly his world is being turned upside down by the boy playing the drums at his local bar–a boy who happens to be very good looking, very gay, and very very interested in Lance. // aka: Good-Boy Lance has a crisis when he meets Keith because he’s so damn attractive, and Keith is a little ho that is way too promiscuous and open about his sexuality. The become friends. Confusion and sexual tension ensue.
🌟 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.
Fighting the Surface by Tommino, Rating: T+, Word Count: 19,809 – “Humans have shown quite the impressive drive for survival,” the Galra commander grins. “I want to see you fight against that. The druids claim drowning is quite the painful way to go.” He tips Lance backward over the water, as Keith and Shiro struggle against their bonds. “If you surface, they die.” Lance’s eyes widen and he’s pushed backward with a splash. Keith, Shiro, and Lance are taken captive during a mission planet-side. The commander decides he only needs two paladins for interrogation, and decides to have a little fun while they wait for extraction. Lance is thrown into the deep with the threat that if he swims up for air, one of the other two will be shot. Obviously Lance would rather die than allow that. Later chapters will, of course, deal with Keith and Shiro losing their damn minds thinking Lance just drowned himself for them. ⭐️
Homesick at Space Camp by: K0bot – Word Count: 74,280 – Rating: T+ – Summary: Lance realizes he’s been an asshole to Keith, and on a diplomatic mission to a key planet for the Voltron alliance he… overcompensates. ⭐️
How long can this love hold its breath? by: artimess_chimes, Word Count: 5,988, Rating: Not Rated, Summary: Hey Keith
Just wanted to let you know that we’re all doing just fine without you, thanks. Just pissed at you for leaving me here, and can’t sleep. Bet you’re having a great time off being a space ninja while I’m stuck here picking up your slack. Anyways, stay alive. Bitch.
Or Lance and Keith write each other letters while Keith is with the blades. They get increasingly pining and Lance isn’t handling any thing very well at all. ⭐️
⭐️ i want your heaven and your oceans too by: mothpoem, Word Count: 11,610, Rating: T+, Summary: “Not—not that you’d be my rebound! I mean, you’d be helping me take my mind off of this guy, but to be a rebound, I’d have to have dated him first, I think, and he doesn’t even know I like him, so. You wouldn’t be a rebound. At worst, we become badass partners-in-crime with a grudging respect for each other, at best, we’re soulmates for life and this is fate trying to help us find happiness. So. Um.” Lance swallows and looks up at the Blade of Marmora soldier through his lashes. “What say you?”
They look down at their hands for a moment, fingers twisting together in deep thought. Then they’re pulling their gloves off, revealing pale, half-bruised knuckles of the human variation, and their mask is dissolving, giving way to big blue-purple eyes and an achingly familiar jet-black cowlick. “Who,” says Keith Kogane, in that low-pitched rumble that makes Lance’s stomach roil in the good way—holy fuck—“is this guy you’re trying to get over?”
⭐️ just come to me once by: laallomri, Word Count: 94,586 Rating: T+ (PDF) Summary: Lance’s smile widens. He leans forward, and the prickling in Keith’s chest gives way to butterflies, fluttering wildly in his stomach, and oh wow has Lance always had this many freckles, has he always had eyelashes that long, has he—
Lance pokes his cheek, right over the Galra mark. Keith blinks.
“I can’t believe you and your mom have matching face tattoos now,” he says, and it’s so fucking dumb, but it’s exactly the kind of dumb thing Keith has longed to hear, and before he knows what he’s doing he’s surging forward, almost knocking Lance back against Red’s paw, and throwing his arms around him.
// In which Keith lives on a space whale, goes on a road trip, and (eventually) gets a boyfriend.
🌟 Life after Death by taylor tot, Rating: T, Word Count: 90,074, Summary: Fear clambers into his mouth and tastes bitter on his tongue. “Who are you?” It takes him a moment to register the sound of his own voice.
She stares at him. Blinks. “Lance, please, this isn’t time for one of your jokes–”
He furrows his eyebrows and struggles to sit up, to stop leaning into the cradle of her arms. “I’m not–I’m not…joking.”
After sacrificing himself to save Allura, Lance wakes up in a strange new world where the only thing he knows is a deep connection to a boy he doesn’t remember.
⭐️ Love Bite(s) by ArchetypeOfAdespota – In which Keith gets bitten by a Love Bug, and Lance is less okay with this than anyone honestly expected.
🌟 moderation by Katranga, Rating: T, Word Count: 21,613 – Keith gets bits by a love bug and falls for Lance. Allura gets bit and falls for Hunk. The only problem is that Keith already has a real, overwhelming crush on Lance, so he decides to only do what Allura does so he doesn’t give himself away. A plan that rapidly falls apart.
⭐️ My Soul Has Your Claim, My Soul Is In Flames by: queen-of-voltronian (TellyMauve), Word Count: 146,125, Rating: T+, Summary: Does anyone know Lance is in love with Keith?
Of course not. And Lance would very much like to keep it that way, thank you! Keith already doesn’t want anything to do with him ever since coming back from that space whale; the last thing Lance needs on top of his crumbling self-worth and shaky standing in the team is a rejection that shatters his heart in pieces, too.
But now, Lance got himself in a bit of a pickle. Which is fine, because Lance has a plan to get out of it! A wonderful, brilliant, masterful, completely fool-proof plan. His team won’t look at him like he’s more incompetent than they already do, he won’t have to spend the rest of his life trapped on some alien planet, and Keith will never find out just how head over heels he is for him. It’s a win-win-win situation.
Of course, with Keith, things are never quite so simple, and Lance’s plan soon causes a domino effect that changes the entire course of his life.
Or: Maybe Lance should have been a little more specific when he said he’d do anything to get home. Because now…
“You must bestow a kiss on the one your soul most desires.”
…Fuck.
🌟 Out of the Wild by: Chilly Super Punk (BangBangBeefKeef) – Rating: T+ Word Count: 55,462 – Summary: For as long as Lance can remember, things have gone missing from his house. Food, tools, clothing, toys… Items that aren’t missed, but, when it’s Lance’s favourite blanket that goes missing, he’s inconsolable and his parents decide he’s old enough to the know the truth. For twenty years a hermit has been breaking into their home and others in the community and taking only what he needs to survive. Lance’s parents assure him that the Hermit is harmless, but Lance isn’t convinced. That’s why he sets up a trap to catch the Hermit red handed. Only he doesn’t catch a man breaking into his pantry in the middle of the night. No, he catches a boy his own age.
🌟 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. (ADHD)
🌟 Read All About It by Starlightment, Rating: Mature, Word Count: 90,044 Summary: Keith is Altea High’s star athlete. And Lance, a wily reporter for the school newspaper, is crushing hard. The only problem? They’ve never actually met before. So when Lance decides to broadcast his long-hidden feelings in an explicitly romantic exposé, he ends up accidentally sparking a school-wide epidemic. Suddenly the entire student body is in on the drama, but are words truly enough to win over the school’s enigmatic heartthrob?
⭐️ Sunflower by xintong, rating: M,word count: 41,557 – On the morning of their first summer back on Earth, Lance receives a gift of sunflowers. A confession, a rejection, and the passage of time, all leading to the one person who’s always been there for him.
🌟 To Brighter Days by: speaks – Word Count: 22,942, Rating: T+ Exerpt/Summary:
“Lance!”
The word floats at him like a lantern through the fog, and he lifts his head to the light. He’s dreaming now, right? Handheld slowly into death by a comforting hallucination?
No. No, the owner of that voice is really here.
The shape of him is a beacon of familiarity in this upside-down hellish nightmare, and Lance is just gone enough to let himself feel saved even though he knows better. Because somehow, at the end of the world, somehow Keith Kogane is here, emerging from the smoke and the flashing lights like some kind of hero. Despite everything, despite the taste of blood between his teeth, Lance feels his lip twitch upward into a tired smile. Because of course Keith is here. Of course. Where else would he be?
// OR
The war ends, and Lance must take on the monumental choice of what he’s going to do next with his life. The clock is ticking and even though they’ve won the war, it looks like Keith is STILL going to slip away from him.
That is, unless he does what he does best, and just takes the shot.
⭐️ 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.”
// In which Keith is the guy who suddenly finds himself a single-parent to his two nieces, and Lance is the charming radio host who might be his only voice of reason in this mess
Wicked rather than virtuous by 2dick2down, Rating: Explicit, Word Count: 55,642, Summary: No one ever told you how hard it was to be sexy during a Washington winter, especially not Fifty Shades of Grey, which Lance often felt like the star of. And, all right, in all fairness, Keith wasn’t Christian Grey levels of wealthy, and he didn’t have any secret sex rooms, and Lance was not with him because he’d signed his ass over to a repressed BDSM god. Don’t get Lance wrong. Keith was definitely a repressed rich boy. It was just that he was Mr. Grey’s inverse: the type of repressed rich boy you had to beg to spank you and even then there was no telling if he’d have to leave the room afterwards because he felt so torn up with guilt at having to hurt you. Which he didn’t. Or, well, he did, but Lance liked it. Enough to ask for it, anyway. And was that honestly so crazy? (⭐️)
⭐️ you had me at merlot by: ryomakun, Word Count: 17,333, Rating: Mature, Summary: “Oh my God,” Lance says as he covers his face. Keith’s tinny voice blares from his laptop speakers: “What do you call a fake noodle? An impasta.” See, this joke might have been funny if someone charismatic and charming had said it, but Keith’s flat voice and even flatter expression effectively kidnaps, tortures, and then decapitates any chance of it being remotely humorous.
Keith accidentally starts a YouTube channel. Lance, of course, refuses to be left out. It goes about as well as you’d expect. (Ft. copious amounts of wine and a truly shameless number of references to MyDrunkKitchen, DailyGrace, and general pop culture)
you never stood a chance by: kagshina, rating: T+, Word Count: 12,221, Summary:
lance to hunk ♡
>i’m gonna fukin die hunk oh mygod i sent
>keith a work out selfie that i wan supposed to fcukin send to you and you know what it said
> ”BET YOU WANNA LICK THESE NIPS”
> HUNK I WILL NEVE BE ABLE TO FCE HIM AGAIN I WANT TO DI E
(Or, Keith is beautiful, Lance has a crush, and there’s lots of shirtless selfies) ⭐️
