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

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
Over the years Keith gets used to being alone. But during one particularly bad rut, and after days of chasing something that doesn’t exist—utterly exhausted and on the brink of desperation—he caves and stumbles to his laptop. He flips it open and stares at the page that’s been open for months—ATLAS: Heat Sharing and Non-Sexual Intimacy Partners Inc.

Summary
"I don't really have a family." Keith mumbles. "I mean, I've got Shiro, but that's it."
Lance stares at him, contemplatively. It then clears with a smile as he grasps his shoulder and says cheerfully, "Then share mine."

Summary
“It has everything you need,” said the salesman. “And everything you want. And everything you just….” He squinted, pinching his fingers together as if trying to recall something. “Everything you forgot you needed.”
“Uh huh,” said Keith. “Sounds legit.”
-
A dubious trade for some machine parts leads Keith to making a deal with an shifty salesman, or more specifically, the magic box in his possession. But the trade comes at a price, and slowly but surely, Keith realizes that everyone and everything is beginning to forget him.

Summary
"Blaytz, my original paladin." Blue supplied in response to his thoughts shifting to the blue alien.
Blaytz and the Altean seemed to be whispering to each other, giggling. It reminded Lance of whenever him and Pidge would gossip at the dinner (although he and Pidge rarely sat next eachother) or even those nerve wracking times when Pidge and Keith decide they want to prank someone.The Altean was average height, for a human at least, and had long blueish white hair gently cascading down his back, tied in a loose ponytail.
His face was what startled Lance the most. It was shockingly similar to his own. Smooth tanned skin, he didn't seem to be wearing any make up, unlike Lance who usually wore it to cover his freckles. His eyes seemed to be glowing with excitement in a blue that matched the markings that lay under his eyes."That is Amira, my second paladin."
Lance finds out he's part-Altean along with his feelings for a certain red paladin. Goes through seasons 2-3 and becomes canon divergent at about the season 3 point. Lance is my favourite character so of course there's gonna be a ton of langst.

Like Any Unloved Thing (i don't know if i'm real if i'm not being touched) by artimess_chimes
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender
27 May 2023

Summary
Lance’s hands were relief- the oil on them had them gliding over Keith’s skin, working over Keith’s tender muscles, releasing the tension and untying the knots deep in the tissue. Keith doesn’t think he has ever been touched for so long or so intentionally. It felt beautiful, if beauty could be a physical sensation. So good, so good, so good. He tried not to groan but he could barely trap it in his throat. It snuck out, his vocal cords vibrating his body.
“Oh, crap, did I-?” Lance began to raise his hands but Keith reached around and grabbed his slippery fingers in his own.
“No-” Keith looked into Lance’s face in the mirror, ignoring the way his own face looked wrecked, blissed out. “Please. Don’t stop.”
Lance breathed out one long shaky breath, staring at Keith. “O-okay.”
Or
Keith is touch starved, and that's a metaphor for his life. Lance is good for him.

His expectations for an unremarkable job and equally unremarkable asset are thrown out the window when an attempt on Mr. Shirogane’s life sends them on the run.

Summary
Three years after saving the universe and getting his happy ending, Keith still hasn’t gotten any better. Despite promising Lance that he’d open up eventually, he wasn’t able to break patterns of avoidance that had their relationship hitting a brick wall, and the final straw was accidentally saying Shiro’s name during sex.
So they’re on a break. In his desperation to fix things with Lance, Keith asks Matt to help him get over his unwanted sexual fixation on Shiro through any means necessary. Armed with a mad scientist ego and Lance’s enthusiastic permission, Matt uses talk therapy and BDSM to help Keith unpack his emotional dysregulation and attachment issues, while in turn teaching Lance to Dom Keith and fulfill some repressed kinks.
But the war has had its toll on everyone. Matt and Shiro are having their own relationship problems, and Lance isn't doing too hot either. It’s up to all four of them to learn how to grow and communicate before their attempts at triage do more harm than good.

Reach out for you (break these walls) by Paladin-Pile (UserFromPluto)

Summary
Keith is trying to make himself smaller, to bury his head deeper in his knees, and Lance’s heart freezes in his chest. Anger dissipating like an exploded firework, Lance lets his hand fall limply to his side, mind blurring with static. When he tries to speak, nothing comes out but a choked noise, so he tries again.
“Keith,” he breathes. “Keith I’m not going to hurt you.”
(Keith has an abusive past, but with time and care Lance helps him become accustomed to positive touch.)

Summary
Keith returns from the abyss, unsure of his new place within Voltron and the team. Things feel different, stagnant.
-----
“You’re being silly,” she said insistently.
But he hadn’t imagined the way Lance avoided his gaze now. Hadn’t imagined the way the team seemed to quiet down when he got close or entered a room. It was his own fault so there was no one to blame but himself. And of course he’d been the one to ruin his own happiness. He wondered if they would ever look at him the same again. The way they did when he had their trust. Before he’d broken everything and left them behind in pursuit of other things.

Summary
Keith is a vampire, Lance is a werewolf, and they're both coworkers doomed to be in close proximity of each other. It's hard enough with the unrequited romantic feelings blooming in Keith's chest, but throw into the mix the fact that suddenly he's losing his appetite for blood and violently sick throwing up flowers in Lance's presence? Well, things just got a lot more complicated.
