all my love for the sweetness of his laughter // he is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever by: KaterinaRiley, Word Count: 7,157, Rating: Mature, Summary: The story of how Lance survived, then didn’t survive, then survived again, living life knowing that his soulmate belonged to someone else. That Keith belonged to someone else.
Or so he thought.
“That rivalry was just so you wouldn’t forget me, but—” Lance broke off, looking away, the numbness creeping back into him, choking the anger out in seconds. “But you did anyway. You decided I wasn’t worth your time, and I got that message loud and clear.”
+ Sequel: crooked spin can’t come to rest // i’m damaged bad at best // you tell me the morning after by: KaterinaRiley, Word Count: 9,351, Rating: Mature, Summary: Keith’s first Soulmate died suddenly before he could even meet them, but, miraculously, another set of Soul Words appeared on his wrist not even two minutes later. They were Lance’s. Lance, the Blue-turned-Red Paladin; Lance, the man he’s been nursing a crush on since The Bonding Moment; Lance, the rare Soulless, bound to no other being in the universe.
How is he supposed to convince Lance to give them a chance? Especially after everything that’s happened, after the way he treated Lance?
—he wanted to hold Lance’s hand and his cheek and his waist, wanted to taste Lance’s lips, wanted to laugh and talk and even cry with the man before him, to spend the rest of his life with him.
But Keith’s speech was useless here.
It didn’t plan on Lance lying to the team about his soul-situation, didn’t plan on Lance ripping Keith’s chest open over and over with each new passing word, didn’t plan on watching Lance crack in front of him, showing how utterly shattered he was underneath a thin, near-invisible façade.

⭐️ 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.

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.”

One Billion Stars in this Universe (And None are Mine) by: Spiralled_Fury, Word Count: 69,666, Rating: Mature, Summary: Loverboy Lance; Not the fastest, or the best fighter, or the smartest, or the strongest, or the princess, the seventh wheel…
And all alone.
With only his Lion, his gun, a sword and determination, Lance finds himself blasted across the universe, in the middle of nowhere, without communication, proper food, and half an idea in Hell what to do.
Except he knows he needs to get back to the others.
