STRIPPER KEITH

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.

Warmth of the Air we Breathe by: Resamille, Word Count: 10,815, Rating: T+, Summary: Somehow, somehow, Keith finds himself here, driving back to the place he had intended to never see again all on Lance’s request. Because when can he ever say no to the boy he’s absolutely in love with.

The war is over.
Earth is safe.
And yet, going back to the Garrison feels like going into battle.
Still, they’re together. They’ve made it this far.

2251.5 Miles by: heavily_caffeinated, Word Count: 44,844, Rating: Mature, Summary: “Wait, wait,” Lance stood up. “You are driving to Houston.”
“Yes.”
“A drive that’s over thirty hours.”
“Yup.”
“By yourself.”
“Sure seems like it.”
“To clean out a storage container of your dead mother, that you have never met, that is now legally under your name.”
“Correct.”
Lance wondered if Keith had lost his mind.
“Keith, there could be dead bodies in that storage container!” He argued. “Or a meth lab. Or worse, mannequins dressed up like dolls sat at a tea party or some weird shit like that.”
Keith offered him an unimpressed blink. “I’ll be fine.”
“Keith, this is insane. You can’t go by yourself!”
Keith glanced at him as he shouldered his backpack.
“Come with me then.”
And that small, damned smirk tilted Keith’s lips as he held Lance’s gaze.
“What do you think, Lance?” He asked. “2,251 miles. Think you could handle it?”
Lance stopped short.
Contemplated.
And, well. Lance had nothing to do either.
So. That’s how this all started.

OR~ Two disasters drive cross-country to clean out a storage container that may have dead bodies hidden inside and, hey, maybe a bit of love as well.

“It would make me feel better if you had told me that you were going to be alone this winter break,” Lance grumbles lowly.

“I’m telling you now.”

Lance rubs his hand over his face, tries not to sound frustrated. “Why are you telling me now?”

Keith falters, thinks over his words. Lance bets he doesn’t know why he’s telling him now either. “Because I thought you should know,” he finally settles on. Because you can’t do anything about it.

In which Lance travels across 1,681 kilometers, sees the sky and the water meet for the first time, and falls in more ways than one.

Ground Zero by: TakingOverMidnight3482, Word Count: 30,426, Rating: T+, Summary: “I know,” the dude was whispering, and Lance chanced a glance back. His head was in his free hand now. “I know you wanted me to be the best man, I’m sorry, bro, but I just can’t-”

“Nope,” Lance said out loud, startling when he realized he had spoken it. The dude turned, furrowing his eyebrows at him, and oh shit, he was hot. Without thinking, Lance reached out and plucked the phone from Hot Dude’s hand. “Hi, Shiro, was it?”

“Um…yes? Who is this?”

“What’s up, the name’s Lance. Your bro here needs a ride to Portland, Oregon? I just so happen to be heading that way.”

Or, Keith needs a ride across the country, Lance just happens to be going that way, and two strangers inevitably end up becoming much closer than they ever anticipated.

Lance’s Guide to Picking Up Hitchhikers by: bwyn, Word Count: 48,206, Rating: T+, Summary: “That… is a terrible idea.”

We’ve been stuck in a car together for two entire days and it hasn’t been completely miserable, y’know? I mean, he’s kinda fun. Kinda.”

Or, the one where Keith and Lance hook up during a road trip.

Run Away With Me by: mintberries, Word Count: 25,128, Rating: T+, Summary: “Well, we could go.” Hunk suggests.
Both Lance and Keith look up at Hunk, “What?” they ask at the same time, this is completely unlike him, spontaneous is not his thing at all.
“We could go. I can ask my parents for the lake house keys. They’ve been kind of on my ass lately for not doing anything, said I need to stop being so scared and nervous all the time and embrace the world around me now that I’m in college. What’s better than a random road trip up north?”

A Klance Road Trip Au

Somewhere in the Middle of Nowhere by: orphan_account, Word Count: 45,230, Rating: T+, Summary: Keith has hardly left the house in like, six months. His brother, Shiro, apparently takes issue with this. Which is why Keith finds himself spending the start of his summer trapped in a death trap of a car with four people he barely knows, his brother and a ferret that’s trying to kill him, on his way to a concert event across the country. This is not how Keith had planned his summer to go, that’s for sure.

Take a Seat (Right Beside Me) by: cheritsundere, Word Count: 4,656, Rating: T, Summary: “You…lost a bet.” Lance repeated, at a loss for words.

“Not like that! I was actually going to watch the rocket launch at home today anyway,” he quickly corrected himself. “My brother and I made a bet though, so I’m seeing it through.”

Well, color Lance curious.

Or, “Keith ends up on a bus trip with the Astronomy Club to go see a rocket launch and Lance needs a bus buddy”

The Road to Ruin and We’ve Started at the End by: mintberries, Word Count: 30,689, Summary: Lance looks around his bedroom, the walls littered with posters of his favorite bands and movies, photos of him and his friends, him and his family. Pictures of him and Marco framed on his bedside table and on his desk.
He can’t stand to look at it anymore.
Lance stands up, taking his wallet and car keys off his bedside table and walks out of his bedroom, out of the house all together.
He gets inside his car and drives. He doesn’t know where he’s going, but he knows he can’t stay there.

Lance is running. Keith is too. Together they take a drive across the country, until they can’t anymore, forced to face their problems head on.

we could turn the world to gold by: thetolkiengeek, Word Count: 28,299, Rating: Mature, Summary: At twenty-four, Lance isn’t where he’d expected to be, working some mindless job at a decent company, bored out of his mind and trying not to feel like the tedium was slowly choking him to death. So when he gets the opportunity to transfer to a position all the way out in California, he jumps at the chance. With all his life packed in his car, he’s ready to leave.

But then, Shiro calls in a favor, and suddenly he’s got an unexpected guest on his grand, solo, cross-country road trip. He and Keith could barely stand to be in the same room together in college, and he doubts that three years apart will have made a huge difference. But being stuck in a car for days on end with his ex-rival leads to some unexpected discoveries, on both sides.

What the Water Gave Me by: Athenias, Word Count: 15,487, Rating: Not Rated, Summary: The door, thankfully, doesn’t stick like it usually does and Lance finds himself face-to-face with Keith. His eyes are red, and he wipes a little bit of snot off of his nose with an arm. They stand like this, frozen while their minds catch up to them until Keith speaks, voice rough and raw and straight to the point.

“I’m running away. Come with me?”

Or~ Keith copes with emotions and the loss of his father in the literal worst ways. Lance isn’t a fan

(Restricted) Bright Eyes by: amycoolz, SylWritesStuff, Word Count: 212,439, Rating: Explicit, Summary: When Keith agrees to meet Hunk for a study session at the mall food court, he isn’t expecting him to bring his roommate. He isn’t expecting to be asked on a date, to accept, and to enjoy himself more than he has in years. He’s definitely not expecting to get wrapped up in the world of a blind Cuban and the grief he carries right next to hope.

Gate 22 by: taylortot -Rating: M – Word Count: 7,076 – Summary: After a weekend spent celebrating Shiro’s wedding, Keith becomes immediately smitten with a cute boy he meets in the airport terminal during a five hour delay. The only problem is: they’re not taking the same flight home.

“If you say painless I’m shoving you into another snowdrift.”

NON-AU

i’ll be waiting right here by: ikayokat – Word Count: 20,695 – Rating: G – Summary: Keith sighs and runs a hand through his already tousled hair. “I mean, we’ll just take the rings off and that’ll be it. No big deal.”

“No big deal?” Lance squawks, sounding slightly hysterical now. “No big deal?” He stands up quickly and waves his ring finger in front of Keith’s face. “Keith, we said vows. I’m pretty sure that’s the very definition of a big deal.”

Keith and Lance get married. Accidentally.

i wanna love you (but i don’t know if i can) by: beautifulbane – Word Count: 16,376 – Rating: T+ – Summary: So, of course, that was when Hunk had said, “You know, it’s really good that we’re all friends here. I feel like it always gets awkward when two people in a group start dating, you know?”

“Well, I don’t think we have to worry about that with this group,” Pidge had piped up, “I love you all, but there’s no way in hell I’d date any of you.”

Everyone else had murmured their agreement, except for Lance and Keith, who had shared a look before trying to discreetly scoot away from the other.

(Or, Lance and Keith decide to date in secret so their relationship doesn’t make their teammates uncomfortable. It goes about as well as is to be expected.)

i want to kiss you there by: taylortot – Word Count: 2,010 – Rating: T+ – Summary: in which they decide to keep it quiet and keith can’t stop staring. // Notes: a direct part 3 to “you make me want to kiss you” and “i wanna be yours” but it can be read on its own 🙂

It’s Not Spying if You Don’t Call it Spying by: jilliancares – Word Count: 4,992 – Rating: G – Summary: Turns out everyone is spying on Lance and Keith’s blossoming relationship.

Purple Sky by: AmbitiousSkychild – Word Count: 72,454 – Rating: Not Rated – Summary: Fondly, Keith shook his head. “So,” Keith started, laughter dying down as he leaned over Lance. “Cuba together?”

And Lance beamed – outright beamed – up at him as he pulled him down against his chest. “You bet your sweet ass, Cuba together.”

Keith, rash as he could often be, understood that his responsibility as a paladin of Voltron was to the universe. So, he understood that despite what they felt, he and Lance couldn’t be anything other than paladins, at least until the war was over.
After nine years of rivalry, turned pining, turned something just shy of lovers, the war is over. The paladins are headed to Earth, Lance isn’t wasting any time, and Keith, as much as he loves a challenge, just tries to keep up.

no effect by: jilliancares, rating: G, word count: 5,655, summary: Keith is bitten by a love bug, except he and Lance are already dating (secretly). Now he has to pretend to be in love with Lance and keep his teammates from finding out that they’re already dating in the first place.

Of Pidge, Perception, and Prosecution by: ErinNovelist -Word Count: 2,613 – Rating: T+ – Summary: Of all the paladins, Lance knew Pidge was the one he had to watch out for.

The only time her guard was down was after she woke up. She didn’t talk, glasses discarded after long hours staring at a screen, and she couldn’t function properly without her daily cup of coffee-equivalent alien juice.

Which was why, when he wandered into the kitchen that morning, Lance hadn’t expected Pidge to zero in on him and ask, “When did you and Keith start fucking?”

Public Displays of Affection by: hattricks – Word Count: 3,980 – Rating: G – Summary: Lance held his breath. He knew, at this rate, they’d have two options: fight with what they had (which was Keith’s knife and team spirit) and hope they can skirt by with the help of the locals, or submit and become prisoners to the Galra. Neither situation was ideal. Lance looked to Keith, at his eyes and his eye lashes, the curve of his nose and the pink in his lips. He knew it was bad timing, but he really wanted to kiss Keith before whatever happened, happened.

But when Keith turned his body to face him and said, “Kiss me.” With the same amount of emotion one would say, “Hand me that stapler,” it threw Lance completely off guard.

Read Label: Lance McClain’s Boyfriend
by: BleuSarcelle – Word Count: 2,377 – Rating: G – Summary: “You know I’m not ashamed, right?” Lance meets his gaze sheepishly. “Like, I’m not ashamed of you, of us. Far from it, babe, I swear –”

“Lance,” Keith cuts in kindly, smiling warmly at the teen in his arms. “Believe me, I know but I do want to tell the world what you mean to me. I wanna start with our team, our family.”

“You should come with a warning,” Lance whispers, stroking Keith’s chin fondly as he drops his voice. “Caution: words that leave these lips may cause falling deeper in love. Thank you for shopping at Mullets4sales.com.”

Keith throws his head back as he shakes with laughter. Lance grins proudly at sound before he props himself on the bed and drops unceremoniously on top of his giggling boyfriend’s chest.

“But yeah, yes; let’s tell them after dinner.”

[Or the one where the team is on their way back home and stop on a planet where a pissy prince drugs Keith with a love potion and Lance has to endure watching his secret boyfriend being lovestruck on someone else that isn’t him.]

Secrets and Lavender by: VertigoReader101 – Word Count: 11,913 – Rating: G – Summary:Lance rolled his eyes. “Not like you know anything about love, Pidge podge.”

“And you do?” Pidge questioned.

Lance’s eyes subconsciously glanced over to Keith who was stubbornly looking straight ahead, but you could tell he was listening closely.

“I’d like to think so.”
““““““““““`
Or five times Lance was jealous but couldn’t say anything and the one time that he punches someone in the face.

The One Where Everybody Finds Out by: bad_at_everything – Word Count: 17,750 – Rating: T+ – Summary: Keith and Lance are dating, secretly. Nobody on the team knows, until suddenly everybody does. Shenanigans ensue.

(Based on a Friends episode of the same title.)

Wait? You Didn’t Know? by: Sleepless_Soil – Word Count: 4,499 Rating: Not Rated – Summary: He couldn’t remember what he and Keith were arguing about but the next thing he knew the team was throwing them both in the common room. Allura fixed them with a sharp glare and told them to “stay there until you two can figure out how to work together”, while Coran looked around in confusion.

So here Lance and Keith sat, locked in the common room to figure out how to, “work together.” Lance couldn’t quite understand though. How were they supposed to further the request when they literally were together? He didn’t understand his team.

[or 5 times the team thought ‘bros being bros’ and one time they finally understood (+bonus scene)]

AU

Billy Ray is my boyfriend by: VertigoReader101 – Word Count: 6,274 – Rating: G – Summary: It was moments like these that made Lance forget about his fears of telling everyone about his boyfriend. It was moments like these that he wanted to whip out his camera and share the love of his life with the world.

Five times Keith accidentally shows up in the background of YouTube videos and the one time is face is revealed.

My Best Friend’s Brother by: PrinceSkylar -Word Count: 2,855 – Rating: T+ – Summary: Lance was fucked. Not literally, although he certainly wouldn’t be opposed to it. No, he was fucked in the figurative way, and it was all Keith’s fault. Maybe Lance was overthinking it. Shiro was his best friend. Older by a year, sure. But Shiro was his best friend and constantly thinking about pushing Shiro’s younger brother against the wall and making out with him was not something a best friend did. A best friend also didn’t date said best friend’s younger brother behind his back. Nope. Not at all.

Fishy Business by: Writerly_Owl – Word Count: 82,975 – Rating: T+ – Summary: Lance has a knack for transforming into a mermaid whenever he comes into contact with water, a trait inherited from his family — something he barely manages to hide through sheer luck and the help of his best friend, Hunk. Pidge is a conspiracy theorist determined to uncover the origin of the odd fish that’s been seen off of the Florida coast recently, toting a doubting Keith along with her.

Plot Twist by: madnessandbrilliance, the-noble-idiot (noblegambit) – Rating: T+ – Word Count: 20,112 – Summary: Plot twist, n. a literary technique that introduces a radical change in the direction or expected outcome.

The problem starts because of this: Keith brings guys home sometimes. At first Lance thought he was okay with it, since it’s not really his business who Keith sleeps with. He’s usually discreet enough about it that Lance won’t see/hear anything he wouldn’t want to see/hear from anyone else. But for some reason, Lance has started feeling weird if he even sees him with other guys.
Plot twist: Turns out, Lance didn’t have a problem with Keith kissing guys as long as it was Lance he was kissing. (Lance POV) — (Read Also–Keith POV)

This time, Shiro doesn’t hold the smirk back. “I see. Would this have anything to do with our resident Galran hothead?”

“Mr. Dense & Oblivious? Yeah. Unfortunately.”

Shiro laughs, shaking his head. “I dunno what you need me for. You seemed to have everything handled pretty well in training today. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Keith go so red.”

Now it’s Lance’s turn to smirk. “Yeah, that was great.” His smirk drops, replaced by a look of annoyance. “But it didn’t work.”

OR: Lance is pulling out all the stops to seduce Keith. Shiro is beyond amused, and as always a whore for drama.

Lance becomes well-acquainted with this brand of “rare”, and he gets the cute barista, Keith, to help him with the search for his soulmate.

That’s what my aunt says dreams are, but it’s kinda weird that my subconscious hasn’t seen the ocean before since I’ve been around the ocean my entire life.”

“What? No! I’m–I’m not your subconscious, I’m your–” Keith starts, but he slams his lips together in a tight lock, then looks at the waves, while Lance sits up taller and leans in closer to him.

“My what?”

“Just–!” Keith starts, getting frustrated and pinching the bridge of his nose. “I’m real, okay? We’re not–this isn’t–we’re having a shared dream.”

The Marks We Make by wittyy_name – Rating: M – Word Count: 255,302 – Summary: Lance McClain constantly dreams of the day he’ll finally meet his mysterious soulmate. They don’t say much, if anything at all, but they leave him with gorgeous paintings temporarily tattooing his skin. It’s not exactly the situation he hoped for, but when he feels the connection between them, he can’t bring himself to resent them. As much as he wishes his soulmate would just talk to him, he’s resigned himself to being patient. In the meantime, he has a loving family and good friends to help him get by.

He’s just an art student who’s struggling to find his place in the world. There’s so much he hasn’t been able to control in his life, and the thought of having a soulmate, just another thing in his life which he also has no control over yet can’t do anything about, is a little terrifying. So he ignores the words that occasionally appear on his skin. He has other things to focus on: like being a new student at a big university where his childhood friend and step-brother go.
