I'm Lucky, I Know (But I Wanna Go Home) by melancholymango for jilliancares
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender
06 Jun 2017
Tags
Summary
Lance is partaking in his usual homesick tradition of crying on the floor in one of the many long corridors in the castle (this time with bonus alcohol!) when someone else stumbles upon him in his most vulnerable state. And maybe it's the late hour, or the alcohol, or the fact that Keith chooses to stay when he would surely rather be anywhere else... but for once Lance wants to talk about his feelings. Turns out, Keith has some feelings of his own to share.

Summary
“You’re sticking me with a newbie!?” Lance squawks. “Shiro, my guy, you must be joking. A newbie is going to triple my work tonight. I’ll be running around like crazy while trying to teach some slack-jaw to count by fives. I swear, if you…”
“I’ll try not to slow you down too much.”
Keith is a loner who’s had trouble keeping a job for longer than a couple of months. Lance is an exuberant flirt who gets on his last nerve in his latest workplace….and then, not so much. Just your typical slow build, getting together fic.
Edited 5/14/17 for some embarrassing typos after I finally read this again with fresh eyes.

Summary
If it were anybody else, Lance would think they’re messing with him for fun.
But Keith is Keith, straight-forward and guileless. If he’s touching Lance more, it’s only because he’s gotten more comfortable. And on one hand, that’s great, that’s—Lance feels very honored. His heart is doing backflips and aerial stunts and everything. On the other, this is really not helping with his raging crush.
His breaking point turns out to be when Keith, exhausted after a day of subspace meetings, drops his head onto Lance’s shoulder and sighs.
It’s a sigh that says, now I’m comfortable, that admits, I’m recharging, that practically screams, you help.
Hands in his pockets, he lets Lance bear his weight as if he trusts Lance to handle it. Great. That’s just—how dare he. How dare he be so vulnerable with Lance? Who does that?
It’s so enraging that Lance just blurts out, “I’m going to need you to stop doing this before I fall in love with you even more, asshole.”
Keith freezes.

Summary
Time seems to stand still on Keith’s quiet little beach. Far from civilization, in an old cabin filled with memories, he often feels like he’s living in a bubble. A peaceful bubble, but a solitary one. While he can’t imagine living anywhere else— far too drawn to the magic of the ocean and the beauty in silence— he sometimes wishes that his home was a little less cold and a little less lonely.
Those wishes come true the day he rescues an injured sea lion on the beach. It just takes him a while to figure it out.

Summary
“Apparently,” Keith agrees. He looks back down at the paper, whistling. “You’re gonna have a hard time finding bad news bad enough to beat this, I think.”
Lance grimaces. He glances down at the bigger, fancier paper, then hands it to Keith.
“I really don’t think so.”
This paper is a lot easier for him to read — it would be hard for him to miss the giant ‘CERTIFICATE OF MARRIAGE’ printed in bold at the top of it.
“Oh, shit,” he says weakly. He glances at Lance’s hands. “I guess that explains why you’re wearing my dad’s ring.”
Lance stares at his left hand in horror, where, on his fourth finger, shines a red stone inlaid in heavy gold — Keith’s father’s ring, that he’s never once taken off his pinky in all the time Lance has known him.
“Fuck!” Lance exclaims, immediately taking it off to give back to Keith. He knows how much that ring means to him.
Only — the ring isn’t coming off.

OR: Lance and Keith get plastered in space Vegas, and also apparently married.

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.

“My name is Keith. I am your guardian angel,” Keith says, drawing his shoulders up high. The shadows paint large wings upon the wall behind his back. “And I am here to tell you to stop being such a fucking trainwreck.”
or;
Keith has a flawless record as a guardian angel. Lance is a walking disaster who hasn't had a lucky day all his life. Keith will keep both Lance and his record alive if it kills him.

Summary
“I got caught up with something,” Thace hums, taking a right turn when Lance quietly tells him to do so.
“Doing what? Something cool?”
“If you count saving a teenager from being stuck on a monkey bar in the east neighborhood's playground as cool, then yes.”
“Lame,” his son declares and Thace ignores Lance’s offended yelp. “Is he cute, at least?”
Thace arches an eyebrow at the question before he shrugs. “Hey, kiddo, are you cute?” he asks over his shoulder, humming when hears Lance moving to lean forward from his seat.
“I would like to believe so, sir.”
[Or the one where Keith's the son of a police offer and asks by pure chance if the boy his dad 'arrested' that night is cute enough for his gay ass. Spoiler alert: he is.]

If you're my soulmate, what the FUCK is wrong with my soul? by PoisonedPen
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender
13 Dec 2018
Tags
Summary
Lance was seven the first time his mama told him about soulmates. How you can take your soulmate's pain from them and they can take yours. On that day, Lance swore his soulmate would never have to suffer and from then on insisted on taking their every injury from them. He dutifully ignored the fact that they'd never once taken away his pain. They must have had a reason...
Keith was seven the first time he heard about soulmates. He thought it was a load of bullshit. Why the hell would someone you've never met want to take away your pain? How could he accept someone only caring about him because they were soulmates? Out of principle, he refused to ever take away his soulmate's pain.
Whoever thought the two would later meet in space and be more than a little pissed off at each other?

Summary
Lance marries into the prosperous Galra Financial to save his family from devastation, and after almost six years of enduring Lotor's heavy hand and having to use way too much concealer, he packs his wedding diamonds and takes off.
After his ride breaks down Lance runs into a blessing and a curse in the woods, a steely eyed man named Keith. Said man owes Lance a favor, but soon finds out that Lance is doing more to help him that he ever could in return. Together, they're on the run from an angry executive and his generals, leaving a trail of fire and bullets in their wake. A love story, from one turbulent tide to the hurricane that whirls in his sky.
((Edit: Ending posted! I came back to this after writing the majority in 2017-18 to get some closure for all of us. Enjoy!))

Summary
“Hello, welcome to Burger King, can I take your order?”
And that’s about when it all comes crashing down on him, and like a tidal wave of terrible, Lance realizes, on an emotional level, how truly awful his day was. For no good reason at all other than here’s a human voice – steeped in apathy perhaps, but not overtly antagonistic – and literally all he wants is a little human comfort… he starts sobbing in the Burger King drive-thru.Keith is a junior in high school just trying to get through working the midnight shift at Burger King when Lance staggers into his life. The course of true love is a freaking disaster.

In the land of Arus, the youngest Nalquodian prince—Prince Leandro—is hidden away in a little castle that overlooks the kingdom; a countermeasure to protect him from the Galran assassins that have sworn to take his life.
And in the tallest tower of the castle, behind a grimy rose window and under a dusty sheet, is an enchanting gargoyle that the prince finds himself compelled to visit every day.
Almost as if by a spell...

There's a pause before he says abruptly, "What if we pretend it's real?"

Summary
Lance McClain needed all the help he could get if he was going to finally ask out Allura, the head witch of his college's coven. That's why, when he finally got his hands on a real life love spirit summoning spell, he was ready to give it everything he had.
What he wasn't expecting was to accidentally summon a servant of Death Herself into his own kitchen.
