Summary
“..Sir? Can you hear me?” The guy asks again.
Shiro opens his mouth to respond, but all that comes out is an embarrassingly high-pitched squeak of a sound. The man blinks, and in misery, Shiro watches as a tiny smile twitches up the corner of his mouth. Shiro’s face gets hotter, but it also feels like his heart skips a damned beat.
Oh no, Shiro thinks. I’m in so much trouble.

Shiro gets roped into a being a volunteer at a training for emergency personnel. It doesn't go as expected.

Summary
Shiro, selfishly, thinks that Keith is pretty when he blushes. The warm flush of his cheeks and the sparkle in his eyes, and the way he tries to hide behind his hair if it carries on for too long.

“What are we making fun of Keith for today?”
or: Keith is developing new communcation skills thanks to his Galra side, Shiro wants to understand him better, and Pidge just wishes one of them would get a clue.

Summary
“You know you can never stop taking those,” Brad had warned him during one of his refills. “That’s really why they were banned. They worked great at suppressing any omeganess, but if a dose was ever forgotten or skipped…” Brad winced.
“You, what, explode?” Keith had asked.
“Kinda. In the hormone way. Worst heat of your fucking life.”

It'll all be fine. Except for the fact that Keith's trapped recovering in his flat with his alpha of a roommate who won't stop hovering. It's not like he got shot or anything. Oh wait he did. And now his hormones are a ticking time-bomb waiting to go off and ruin him for the way he's been suppressing them for years.

After almost six years of marriage, you'd expect an easy, happy life. Unfortunately for Shiro and Keith, they were used to disappointments and hardships.

Summary
“Comms are still down,” Keith snaps, as soon as Shiro’s hand drops away to his waist. “If Pidge had a way to fix the connection, it would’ve been done by now.”
“It can’t help to try,” Shiro points out, and only then does he train his line of sight on the other paladin. “I don’t think it’s a good idea to proceed when they don’t even know where we are.”
A dry, lilting sigh falls from Keith’s mouth; it almost sounds like he’s laughing, but Shiro can’t be sure. “So you’d rather we wait around for the sentries to find us? Yeah, Shiro, let’s just starve to death in a Galran storage room. Or, better yet, we could just kill time until we’re blown to bits. Sounds like a hero’s death to me.”-
or, Shiro and Keith get stuck in an air duct, and are forced to confront things that should be too painful to think about.

Summary
Lance got up and left and Keith sighed. He relaxed in the weird chair, eyes roaming the beige walls with pictures of teeth to distract himself from the throbbing in his mouth. He was halfway through reading the infographic on periodontal disease when someone walked in and sat down. Keith turned to face the doctor and his mind stuttered to a halt.
“Hi there, I’m Dr. Shirogane. You’re Keith, right?”
I’m whatever you want me to be. Keith coughed awkwardly.
“Yeah, Keith. Nice to meet you.”

In which Keith finally goes to the dentist and gets more than he bargained for.

That was the thing with Daibazaal; it wasn’t dense at all at first, certainly not enough to ward someone off—even hunters still made use of the edges of it. But at some point, between one step and the next it swallowed you whole.

Summary
While working as a cabin boy for Captain Kolivan, Keith is caught up in a bargain between his boss and the pirate Captain Shirogane. If Kolivan is to live, Keith will have to serve out one year in servitude to Captain Shirogane.
Keith has other plans, however, and if he has his way, their bargain will end in a killing. Nothing could have prepared him for Captain Shirogane wanting to kiss him instead.
-
“Alright, Kolivan, don’t get your panties all in a twist,” Shirogane said, gaze flicking quickly back to Keith. “You can be quiet can’t you, baby?”
Raising a brow, Keith said, “Only if you ask nicely.”
Shirogane smiled, soft and dangerous. Then he said, “Pretty boy, pretty please, keep that pretty mouth shut so I can gamble with your pissy captain.”

In the Catcher's Mitt by teicakes for Miaou Jones (miaoujones)

Summary
Takashi Shirogane's always done things on his own. College? Check. Scholarship? Check. Varsity player? Starting pitcher? Team captain? Check, check, check. But the pressure's starting to get to him, the weight of expectations and nerves getting too much to bear alone. At some point, something's going to give. And give it does, right when it matters most.
What Shiro needs is someone he can trust. Someone who can get him out of his head, make the tough calls for him, and let his body just relax in their hands.
And Keith just might be that someone...
(A silly D/S, pitcher catcher AU featuring two beautiful pining idiots)

Summary
Keith shouted, dropping the lamp. The smoke billowed, grew, threatened to overtake him, then coalesced into a distinct shape. Shoulders, waist, hips, arms, head.
A man. That was a man.
A helluva fine man.
He was a study in metallics. Bedecked in jewelry but with all white hair, tinged silver. Mercurial eyes. Right hand crafted out of gold, veins of it climbing up past his shoulder and kissing his clavicle. A streak of gold scored across the bridge of his nose, like a scar. He was shirtless, yards of gleaming muscle revealed to feast upon.
And he also wore bright blue harem pants and nipple piercings so...yeah.
The smoke dispersed, leaving only him and that dull oil lamp at his feet. The man turned, movements stiff. His gaze found Keith’s. “Oh Master of the Lamp—.”
Keith screamed.
--
Or: Keith's a professor of Ancient Galra History and Culture and finds a lamp that contains a beautiful man because of course it fucking does.I have no excuse for this. I just really, really liked the 3 am thought of Genie Shiro.

Summary
“I-I fell. Through a wormhole.”
“A wormhole?”
“In...space?” As if wormholes could just pop up in bathrooms. “And I need to get back—.”
He cut off as Shiro touched his cheek, fingertips skimming along his scar, the action enough to paralyze him into silence. Keith’s scar wasn’t sensitive exactly, but the skin around it acted like it needed to compensate for that. Keith usually couldn’t even tolerate his own hand. But Shiro’s fingers were careful, reverent almost, tracing the edges and then covering it with his thumb.
It was then that Keith knew that this couldn’t be any version of the Shiro Keith knew. That Shiro wouldn’t even look at his scar, gaze deliberately repelled from it, hadn’t even commented on it—so much so that Keith at first thought he was crazy, that it was only a mark he himself could see.
--
Or Keith falls through a wormhole into an alternate dimension. One where he's dead and Shiro isn't handling it well.

Holiday Meetings and Gay Happy Greetings by teicakes for D_N_Arielle

Summary
Just like every Hallmark heroine Keith's a young, hot 20-something frustrated with his big city reporting job and looking for more in life. Little does he know he's one work assignment and a snowstorm away from a 6'2", massively thick Christmas tree farmer with a heart of gold and the sweet-tooth to match who's about to change his world. Will he stay for the holidays and get his big romantic kiss on Christmas Eve, or will he (and Shiro) continue to dismiss the sparks starting to form between them?
In short, a tropey holiday movie AU where Keith crashes into Shiro's backyard and it's hard to say who has worse gaydar: him or Shiro.

Summary
“I think,” Shiro said, bending slightly so he was at Keith’s eye level, hands coming down to brace himself on Keith’s armrests, “that if the men you’re dating aren’t even offering you that much—and that would be the bare minimum in my book—you ‘re not being taken care of properly and you’re owed someone who will treat you right.”
--Keith's a broke-ass college dropout getting by as a mechanic. When Lance drags him to a dating seminar, he unknowingly meets the man of his dreams.
Or: Keith's views on relationships are skewed, Shiro's dated many but never anyone quite like Keith, and they weren't supposed to fall this fast or this deep, but oops.

Summary
The rules came to life after too many heartbreaks. It's ironic, how suddenly Keith had started to live by rules when he never liked to follow any of them. But he had gone through enough break-ups and ghostings — he had cried his eyes out in the privacy of his room so many times already — that maybe settling some ground, basic rules for dating, isn’t that much of a crazy idea.
— or the one where Keith is tired of too many heartbreaks so he establishes rules for dating him that he's very strict to follow. Until he meets Shiro.

Summary
Shiro didn't think when he left for war that he'd come back to nothing. Keith is everything he could ever want and the only way to get him is to sign a contract and pay for his time. There's no guidebook on how to be a sugar daddy when you barely have the energy to leave your house. There's a lot to get used to.
