Wish You Were Sober by occasionalklance (SemiRetiredAuthor) for Saturnetta
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender
27 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
After a rough semester, Keith is finally recovering. He's doing well, even. Unfortunately, Shiro sees Keith's studying less as the much-needed academic focus it is and more as A Problem, and he takes it upon himself to drag Keith right back to the lifestyle that got him into that mess in the first place.
It makes less than zero sense, but if Keith owes anyone, it's Shiro. So, sure. He'll go along with it... this once. Just to get him off his back.
Or at least, that's the plan until he meets Lance.

Alternatively: college AU + miscommunication + opps to friends to ???

Closer (I love you or I want to, but I don't know how) by Riceisgood123
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender
23 Oct 2025

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.

You're The Most Presumin' Dog (That A Human Could Know) by negativefouriq
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender
23 Jun 2023
Tags
Summary
He cracks up, embarrassed giggles bubbling up his throat. His next words are muffled by the hand he has pressed to his face. “God, I want him so bad.”
Kosmo raises his head from where it was resting on Keith’s knee, staring at him in what Keith can only assume is judgment.
“Shut up,” Keith says hotly. “You once farted so loud you scared yourself and cried for ten minutes. You don’t get to judge me about being embarrassing.”
Keith is losing it. He is defending his character to a dog. He groans loudly, dragging his hand down his face.
“I should tell him, shouldn’t I,” he mutters. “Just — come out with it. ‘Leandro Esposita-McClain, I am in love with you.’ Straight to the point. Rip off the band-aid.”
---
OR: Keith confesses. Lance overhears. Thanks, Kosmo.-

Summary
"The fluioxde plant? No wonder he's sick!" Coran shouts and Keith winces again. "Those are poisonous for Galra!"
Keith groans, in pain and disappointment, "Really? Those things made the food goo taste good."
"Keith, it literally poisoned you! " Lance yells, then mutters some frantic Spanish Keith doesn't have the bilingual knowledge to understand.
or; Keith gets food poisoning from a space plant, and Lance decides to play nurse.

Summary
Keith has long been a romantic, drawn to grand stories of dramatic love thanks to his favorite book Across the Rift, but much to his disappointment, the author never wrote another book. At least, not under the same name. When Keith jumps in to rescue a stranger from an unpleasant public argument with an ex-boyfriend, he ends up meeting the man of his dreams—who may have given him those dreams to begin with.

Summary
Free WiFi, private bath, complimentary toiletries, one king size honeymoon suite bed, minibar—hold up. Honeymoon?
“Lance!” He hissed, eyes flicking back to the top of the page where the words were repeated. “This says it’s a honeymoon suite!”
“How did I know you were gonna say something about that,” Lance mumbled under his breath. “Listen, it’s just the name of the room, we don’t actually have to be on a honeymoon to rent it, and besides, it was the only one they had left, ok? We have been through so much worse, I know you can handle one night sharing a bed with me.”
“Fine,” Keith begrudgingly agreed. Sleeping in the same bed as Lance certainly wouldn’t do anything for the massive crush he’d been harboring on his teammate, but it wasn’t like they’d never slept in the same bed before. This entire mission they’d been packed together like sardines, first in the ship and then on Etunae, so what was a little more?
Spoiler Alert: It’s more than just the name of the room.

And If I May Just Take Your Breath Away (I Don't Mind If There's Not Much To Say) by negativefouriq

12 May 2023

Summary
“I need a favour and if you’re annoying about it I’ll never tell your nosy ass anything about my life ever again,” Keith announces.
Shiro pauses for a second to consider how to play this.
He could play it cool. Act like he doesn’t care, like maybe he’ll help Keith if he can squeeze it into his schedule.
He glances down at his phone. He has zero new notifications. (Adam is doing his internship in the Amazon rainforest and has zero service, and Matt lost his phone for the eighth time this year, so. To be expected.) He is fooling no one.He sighs. “Tell me what you need, goober.”
Keith hesitates. His hands wring together nervously, and he won’t meet Shiro’s eyes. Shiro shifts slightly, sensing that the matter here is a little more serious than either of them are letting on, and pats the seat next to him.
“Talk to me,” he says quietly.
“Imaskinglancetogooutwithme,” Keith rushes out.

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.
Keith Kogane dreads the day he'll finally meet his obnoxious soulmate. 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.

Summary
Lance has always seen red strings connecting people’s pinkies—an invisible sign of soulmates. Everyone around him seems tied to their destined partner... except him. When his best friends start finding their matches, Lance convinces himself he’s meant to be alone. But then Keith arrives, carrying a red string of his own that leads somewhere else — not to Lance. Despite this, Keith’s quiet kindness and steady presence slowly unravel Lance’s carefully guarded heart. As Lance fights his growing feelings, torn between hope and the cruel truth of his bare pinky, he finally confesses his secret to Keith: that he’s never had a soulmate string and fears stealing Keith’s fate.

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:

Summary
An idea strikes him. It’s more a feeling, really, a spark that fast consumes.
“I can fix this,” he says.
He weighs the heavy promise on his tongue. Keith never makes promises. Even Shiro only stuck around cause he could tolerate Keith breaking his word. But promising Lance feels different. Promising Lance feels good.
OR
Four times Keith fixes Lance’s mistakes, and the one time he can’t.

Summary
“No shit it’s defending itself! What do you expect it to do, stand there while you shoot at it?”
“If it didn’t want to be shot it shouldn’t have ventured into the city in the first place!”
“It’s an animal! How the hell is it supposed to understand city limits and boundaries?”
“That’s not my problem,” the dignitary says coldly. “It has posed a threat to our people, and so it must die. And if Voltron wishes for our signature in the Coalition, you will come to our aid, or else you can count yourself down one planet’s alliance.”
Allura stiffens. “You would really risk your people’s protection over a difference in opinion?”
“Your blue paladin —”
“I am not the blue paladin, you brainless amoeba —”
“Your blue paladin,” the dignitary repeats, pointedly and icily, “has insulted us greatly. The situation is no longer up for debate. If you wish to sign an alliance, the paladin must handle the problem himself. That is our final stipulation.”
With that, the dignitary ends the call, cutting off Shiro’s pleas for him to wait.

Summary
Exultan is a desert planet inhabited by a resilient, adaptable species of aliens, who can live in even some of the harshest of climates. They would be valuable allies to the Voltron Coalition. Unfortunately, the Exultans have grown paranoid thanks to the Galra, and will only allow Allura and two handmaidens to attend the alliance conference. Que cross-dressing Lance!

Give Up Your Dream Of Going Away (Forget Your Sailors In Galway) by negativefouriq
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender
13 Aug 2023
Tags
Summary
But over time, he learned to trust his team. Not with his secret — not yet — but enough to admit bits and pieces, press fragments of his experiences into their hands. The exhilaration of swimming with sharks that swarmed near the island. The welcoming feeling of home in the ocean. The freedom of speeding through the waves. Small things, quiet things, but truths to him nonetheless. He eventually worked up the courage to even part with his pelt, briefly, in training, or eating, or simply bonding. Found the strength to set the jacket out of arm’s reach.
Perhaps the choice was foolish.
Because now his second greatest fear has come true — he may not have lost his pelt, true, but he is now bonded in eternity with another. When Keith handed Lance his coat, he unknowingly claimed Lance, as a prize and as a mate.
A feat of fate and magic that cannot be undone.

OR: Keith accidentally hands Lance his pelt. Lance doesn't know where to go, from there.-

Summary
“Allura, where is this coming from?”
“I called us boring, and now she wants to prove me wrong,” Keith explains, rubbing the bridge of his nose in hopes of stopping the oncoming headache. Coran looks exhausted at both of them.
“You’re making me rearrange your meetings regarding the gala for Tralfan Helper Monkeys over a bet with the paladin?”
Because they're both aliens who are bad at feelings, Keith and Allura hold a bet on who can set the other up with the best date.
