    Summary

    “And then other times,” Lance said. “I’m just, like, dying to know what a mouth would feel like around my dick.”
    Keith choked on air and said, with absolutely no go-ahead from his brain, “I have a mouth.”
    Half-laughing, Lance said, “Is that an offer?”
    He pushed his wet hair out of his eyes. His throat was dry. “Is that an acceptance?”
    --
    The summer after freshman year of college, Lance drags Keith back to their hometown to hang out. But the two of them rarely spend time together without Hunk and Pidge around, because things had a way of getting out of hand real quick. This summer is... no different.

    Summary

    “Fuck, you know what I just remembered?!” Pidge wheezed out, ignoring Keith’s glare like he didn’t have his foot very near her very fragile ribs. “Keith going into the woods at all times a night and setting up all those fucking creature traps!”
    “Pidge,” Keith begged helplessly.
    “What was that I just heard with my ears?!” Lance demanded.
    Shiro cackled next, meeting Keith’s eyes in the rearview mirror, eyes mirthful with the look of a person who held someone else’s entire life in the palm of their hand. “When Keith was eleven–”
    “Shiro once had a sex dream about Yzma from the Emperor’s New Groove!” Keith panicked, taking exactly two point five seconds in the dead silence that followed to fully understand how much he had just fucked up.

    Or:
    Stressed-out college student, Keith, is forcefully dragged away from his books, forced to get some fresh air, bribed with Twizzlers, spends a night in the woods, faces some inner demons, and gets a boyfriend, in that order.

    Summary

    In a world where Soul Marks show up only after your soulmate has fallen in love with you, it's rare for them to appear when you're not already in a relationship. It's even rarer for them to show up when you're standing on a chair in your favorite coffee shop, screeching at the sight of a spider. Lance becomes well-acquainted with this brand of "rare", and he gets the cute barista, Keith, to help him with the search for his soulmate.

    Summary

    Who could it be?!

    Lance tried to convince himself it wasn’t jealousy… it was just friendly concern. He had to ensure that whoever Keith was with treated him well, not that Keith needed Lance to look after him, but still, Keith deserved the world and Lance wanted to make sure whoever he was with gave that to him.

    Just buddy-buddy concerns.

    or alternatively; 5 + 1 times lance doesn't realise he's keith's boyfriend

    Summary

    I made a dark mode site skin that embraces the classic red. Apparently AO3 didn't allow for users to make their skins public anymore so I decided to post it like this!

    The skin makes the background black and the text white. Grey and the classic red are accent colours!

    Works for desktop and phone great! Feel free to edit and use the CSS however you'd like! But keep in mind this was my first time coding so the CSS is a mess for those of you who are actually good at coding.

    (Updated at 2019-12-29
    Comment background no longer white.)

    (Updated 2020-05-24
    White background no longer appears in the statistics tab.)

    (Updated 2020-07-20
    When on a page under the upper left menu, the text header in the drop-down menu of the page you are on will show red, not dark grey.)

    Tutorial on how to use it in notes!

    Summary

    The next few days were filled with Lance informing everyone, multiple times, of their “new” friendship. “We’re friends now, did you hear? Keith and I are friends.” Over and over, big smile, loud voice. Looking between Keith and whoever he was telling like he expected a round of applause. Or confetti. Or a parade. What he usually got was somebody making a crack about bonding moments, which prompted a tight, put-upon sigh on Keith’s end. And Lance would look at him fondly, and Keith would have to bite his cheek to distract himself from how much he wanted Lance to lean over and kiss him.
    --
    Keith realizes he may, potentially, possibly have some feelings for a certain blue paladin and he is Not Thrilled about it.

    Summary

    Pidge is still close —closer than is entirely comfortable if he has to be honest— giving him an evaluating glance. Lance doesn’t really know where to look, other than up her nose— but that grows old pretty fast. So he looks at himself in the reflection of her glasses. And squints.

    He touches his own face for the first time since waking up— and feels the roughness of his chin.

    “I have stubble,” he says, and the words are as alarmed as they can be even though they still sound slightly slurred, slightly off.

    Pidge blinks a couple of times at him, and finally retracts into a more comfortable distance.

    “Well, yeah,” she says. “You are like, what? 22? 23 in a couple of months?”

    “I’m feeling— I’m feeling a little queasy,” he says then, with bright spots of color dancing in front of his eyes as he thinks 22.

    Suddenly, a bucket gets shoved against his face. He takes hold of it with clammy fingers and he leans on his side so he can... use it. Thoroughly.

    “I’m having Garrison flashbacks,” he hears Pidge say.
     

    (Or: Lance is stung by an alien bug, loses his memories temporarily and makes assumptions about his and Keith's relationship. Also, Pidge cheats at Uno.)

    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.

    Summary

    The once bloody war between man and siren has come to a tremulous truce once the siren prince had been captured. The people of Altea retreated, and mankind was once more free to roam the sea. Shackled and locked away within a mountain cavern, the prince watches, and he waits. Biding his time.

    Keith has never truly fit in, no matter how much he’s tried. Ever since Shiro found him, wild and alone in the northern mountains, something has burned deep inside him, something dangerous and terrifying. A simmering need for something more. To protect those he loves. To tear apart those who hide behind falsities and carefully sculpted smiles. Those who hide behind laws of their own creation.

    Two beasts, shackled and bound, each in their own way. Keys to each other’s freedom.

    Summary

    As it turns out, learning that your house is haunted makes the ghosts a lot more aggressive. Who knew?

    Ah, well. At least one of them is hot. And he's the less-evil one, too, so that's always a plus.

    Summary

    Bombs seem to have it out for Lance.

    At least that what he thought. Pidge might disagree since she also was involved in this explosion. Clearly, the bomb was out for her and Lance made it about him really.

    Summary

    Summary

    Keith laughed breathlessly, running his hand through his hair and rubbing at his eyes, wondering if this was a dream or a sleep-deprived hallucination. Yet it still stood in the same place when he pulled his hands back. Beautiful, elegant, detailed, it was unlike anything Keith had ever seen before. It put his own castle to shame. The tall spires and elegant detailing sketched into the ice, it must have taken years to build.

    To see something so beautiful built out of the thing Keith had spent his entire life loathing, it was bittersweet. He had to meet whoever had built this, whoever lived in such a bizarre and lonely place.

    --

    aka the Frozen au you've all been waiting for! Lance is Jack Frost, Keith is Elsa, and yes they both have white hair.

    Summary

    “I feel like I’m in a bad teen movie,” Keith says as they creep down the hallway of the base.

    “Well, we are sneaking out,” Lance says, “and we’re lying about where you’re gonna be the next few hours. If we really wanted to be accurate I’d have thrown pebbles at your window and you’d have climbed down a tree.” He’s walking a little ahead of Keith, so he glances back at him, frowning. “If Kolivan’s in charge of the base, does this make him your dad in this scenario?”

    “I think he’s too old for that,” Keith says. They round a corner, tiptoe down another hallway. “Maybe he’s the grandpa.”

    In which Keith finds time in the midst of defending the universe to live out some of the tropes of a corny teenage romance.

    Summary

    “Well, that’s what you are, right? My subconscious talking to me? That’s what my aunt says dreams are, but it’s kinda weird that my subconscious hasn’t seen the ocean before since I’ve been around the ocean my entire life.”

     

    “What? No! I’m--I’m not your subconscious, I’m your--” Keith starts, but he slams his lips together in a tight lock, then looks at the waves, while Lance sits up taller and leans in closer to him.

    “My what?”

    “Just--!” Keith starts, getting frustrated and pinching the bridge of his nose. “I’m real, okay? We’re not--this isn’t--we’re having a shared dream.”

    Lance never thought he had a soulmate, but when he finds himself dreaming about a boy on Varadero Beach and in a southwestern desert, he learns they have an incredibly rare soul link–-one that allows them to form an unusually strong bond before they meet, but also exposes their greatest vulnerabilities to each other.

    Summary

    Keith works in his brother's coffee shop for the summer, expecting a boring break before college. Lance changes all of that.

     The boy is still in the front of the group, but he doesn't take off his glasses so Keith can't tell what he's really looking at -- either the menu or Keith. Keith feels a flash of annoyance but smothers it and pins his smile in place.

    Summary

    There was a cough behind them. Keith and Lance both turned around and found the other players looking at them in amusement.

    One of the guys said, “Look, we’re happy for you, but you two are giving us diabetes.”

    “Yeah, not everyone here is into PDA. Get a room.”

    “What? What’re you talking about?” Keith asked.

    “We know you’re dating, but there’s a time and place for everything.”

    “We aren’t dating!” Keith and Lance both said at the same time.

    Summary

    “What’s the fun in a masquerade if you don’t flirt outrageously with the prettiest person in the room?” the young man says flippantly, and then winks at Keith. Keith huffs a laugh, amused.

    “You keep saying things like that, but you haven’t seen my face,” he says, gesturing to his mask. “I could have warts under here. I could have spots, or scars.”

    “You’d be lovely even with all of those,” the young man says, and he suddenly sounds serious. It takes Keith by surprise, makes his heart twist along with his stomach. “Your eyes,” he continues, tilting his head. “I’ve never seen eyes like yours before.”
