Summary
"Fuck," Lance hisses, and then slowly untangles himself, freezing when Keith whines and pulls him closer. From the periphery, he sees Pidge shake her head and using his free hand, flips her off.
"Whipped," she whisper-sings, and he shakes his hand to emphasize the giant 'fuck you' he's throwing at her. Finally, when he's free, he leans forward, pressing a light kiss against Keith's forehead.
"Sweet dreams," he whispers.
--
5 times Lance kisses Keith. And the one time Keith kisses Lance.

Summary
“You said if you don’t break the curse before you’re twenty then you’ll … you know.” Keith couldn’t even bring himself to say it. “But that means there is a way to break it, right?” He searched Lance’s face desperately, although it was difficult to read his expression in the dimness.
Lance hesitated, holding Keith’s gaze for a few lingering moments before he looked away again. “I …” He scratched the back of his neck. “I have to kiss my true love.”
Keith is a mage and Lance is a knight, and they've been best friends since childhood. For years, Keith has known that Lance carries a dark secret: that if he doesn't kiss his true love before he turns twenty, he'll die.
Now only three days remain before Lance's twentieth birthday, and Keith and Lance are sent on a dangerous quest to rescue Romelle––who Lance believes will be the one to break his curse. ... But what he doesn't know is that Keith is already hopelessly in love with him.

Summary
“Allura!”
“-get him out of there-”
“It’s too soon, it’s not-”
“Look at him!”
Lance wasn’t sure where he ended and the stars began. Maybe he was the stars, maybe he’d always just been the pain and the stars and the voices.
“-OUT OF THE POD!”
When a cryopod malfunctions, Lance is left with amnesia. As he struggles to figure out where he fits in the new formation of the team, the rest of Voltron is racing against the clock to figure out where Lotor will strike next- and their only clue is hidden somewhere in Lance's lost memories. Lance will have to find a way to remember what he's missing- or come to terms with what he's forgotten.

Closer (I love you or I want to, but I don't know how) by Riceisgood123
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender
23 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
After about five months in space, Keith thinks he has it all figured out—thinks he has Lance figured out. He’s the goofball, the flirt, the carefree thrill-seeker. But as time goes on and Lance continues to show Keith sides of himself that are caring, compassionate, and intelligent, he isn’t so sure anymore.
Caught between the fluttery feelings of affection and the confusion of his idea of Lance constantly getting turned on its head, he’s forced to face the reality that maybe he never really knew Lance all that well to begin with. And maybe it’s about time he let Lance show him.
Or: 5 times Keith was confused by/didn’t know how to accept Lance’s affections, and the 1 time he let Lance love him without restraint. Featuring the 5 love languages.

Summary
5 times they act like more than friends while Keith is injured and 1 time they realize they are
OR
Based on the voltronofficial post saying that Keith's song is "back to friends" by sombr
-----
“Thank you for all this. You’ve made… the past two weeks a lot easier,” he admitted softly, looking down at his arm and flexing his fingers. If anything, the injury had brought them closer. Keith hoped it would stay that way.“Of course, Samuri,” he murmured. “Me and you against the universe.”
A soft lull came over the room, mostly because Keith could tell Lance was getting tired. He was too, to be honest. Learning to sleep in unconventional places was nothing new to Keith but it was still odd to be in someone else’s bed. To be in Lance’s bed.
“Me and you against the universe,” he whispered, repeating the words as Lance’s eyes closed.

Summary
“I see your description of the Red Paladin wasn’t an exaggeration.” Rachel slinks up beside Lance with that annoying grin of hers. “He’s very pretty.”
“Hands off, Rachel. He’s gay.”
“Which works out perfectly for you.”
Crossing his arms, Lance scoffs. “He wouldn’t ever be interested in me.”
“He’s here, isn’t he?” Rachel shrugs. She already starts to walk back into the chaos but not before throwing one last look over her shoulder to say, “Pretty obvious to all of us.”
(Or, Keith gets injured on a Blade mission and decides to recuperate at Lance’s parents’ house. Things only escalate from there.)

Summary
Keith stared into the neon purple concoction and wondered if it would be his death sentence.
“Shiro,” he said out of the corner of his mouth. “I can’t drink this.”
“Why?” Shiro asked through his smile.
Keith glanced over to where Lance was asking if any of the Xaligas had heard of bendy straws. The aliens, as per usual, were enchanted by him.
“Because,” Keith’s teeth were locked shut to keep from chattering. “It might cause an intergalactic incident.”
Shiro’s eyes widened ever so slightly. “That’s a good reason.”When the gang is served a truth serum by an untrusting group of aliens, Keith is forced to reveal a rather inconvenient secret. This is bothersome, considering half of the galaxy is in love with Lance.

Summary
“Keith!”
He blinks, trying to make sense of the image on the tablet that Pidge is holding in front of his face. It takes a moment, but then, “holy shit.”
“That’s him, right? That’s gotta be?”
“It has to,” Keith agrees, “I thought he might’ve died by now."
“If there’s anyone to manage surviving alone in an infinite universe off of dumb luck for two entire years, it’s Lance,” Pidge replies, something soft in her grin.
They go with hope filling their chests, eyes bright and determination clear. Because he left; because he's been gone.
And when the lead is as dead as they've all been, Sol asks, “is it worth looking?”
Keith looks to him a moment, and shakes his head. Because Sol stays and Lance goes, and maybe…
Maybe Keith can live with that, now.

“How do we get back?” Keith asks. His question seems to be the wrong one. Confusion is quickly replaced by a cataclysmic realisation. Oh.
“Pidge... can we get back?”

The More That I Push Him Away (The More That He’s Stuck In My Brain) by negativefouriq
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender
11 Feb 2023
Tags
Summary
Keith steps into Lance’s field of vision, smirking up a goddamn storm. He crouches right beside the pole Lance is chained to, reaching out a hand (dodging Lance’s attempt to bite his fingers off) and tilting up his chin.
“‘Course,” he admits, easy as pie. Then his smirk gets wider. “Think I was gonna pass up a chance to see ya all tied up and testy, pretty boy?”
Pretty boy.
Oh, no. Oh no, no, no.“Fuck,” Lance says, aghast. “Fuck, fuck!”
The sudden expletives startles Keith, a little, and the smug expression drops from his face.
“What? What’s wrong?”
Lance face contorts in panic. “You’re hot!

Summary
"He leans in to hook his arm around Keith’s shoulders in full. It’s right in Keith ear, when he speaks. “I have a crush on someone new, like, every week.”
“No—it's not someone.” Keith brings his head up, and it feels as heavy on his neck as if it were his center of gravity, and he meets Lance’s eyes with his own. Keith doesn’t mean to communicate something through their silence, he just kind of gets caught up in staring at Lance’s face, which tends to happen lately. Sharp features, cheekbones and chin. Impossible eyes and a loud mouth as expressive as his eyebrows. But Lance seems to come to some understanding on his own. He sits back in a rare, rare moment of speechlessness, that mouth of his slightly pursed and twitching in its search for words in what can only be, though Keith doesn’t know much about body language, immense confusion on the brink of realization."
Or: Keith acknowledges his feelings for Lance and promptly goes through the five stages of grief.

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.

Keith and Lance get stuck on the astralplane together and they slowly start to realize their feelings for each other.
________“Truth or dare?” Keith says, hints of excitement in his voice. Lance, bless his soul, picks truth.
“Do you remember the Bonding Moment?” Lance’s face twitches.
“Whaat? Ppht, no,” he says with the voice of someone who’s obviously lying. Keith raises an eyebrow.
“Are you lying to me? Keith? The leader of Voltron?” Lance huffs.
“Fine, fine, I remember it, mullet.” The brightest smile comes across Keith’s face as Lance crosses his arms and pouts. Keith laughs.

Summary
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.
--
Lance stared at him expectantly.
Keith raised his brows at him. “And this… is why… we wear helmets! You reckless, stupid-stupidly hot, annoyingly charming—”
“Watch out, guys,” Pidge cut in. “I think Keith’s gonna self-combust trying to compliment Lance and drag him at the same time.”
Lance shoved Keith’s helmet into his chest. “Seriously? Acting like you’re dying, making me feel guilty about taking your helmet off, and you just didn’t wanna say anything nice to me? You’re a dick.”- Language:
