my description: oh boy howdy. talk about putting lance through the fukn blender. in this one lance is cursed with the ability to rewind time. the physical and psychological torment he goes through witnessing so many different alternate timelines before going back to fix them. damn. this is one of my fav fics. i read it several years ago and there are several scenes that have stuck with me all this time. so many of the klance moments are so sweet and tender and disgustingly everything i want but lance lets his insecurities and self doubt get the better of him and uses his power for EVIL. unfortunately the last two chapters were never posted and we don’t get to see lance have to deal with the consequences of his own actions but it’s still so worth a read imo. the author is so talented and has such an eloquent way of describing and pulling emotion and tension out in a scene and it is so frustrating to watch lance fuck up and doubt himself over and over but also so sweet to watch keith be there every step even if lance won’t let him in fully

my description: keith makes an impulsive decision and makes a mystery deal in a magic shop for a part coran needs and the team slowly starts to forget him. this was honestly terrifying and had me on my toes the whole time. really put these boys through the ringer and i loved every minute.

my description: clone keith. holy shit i was not expecting this to go so hard. omg absolutely horrifying, to read about the team trying to figure out which is the real keith from the real keith’s perspective was deliciously torturous. pidge being the first to see through his emo ass makes a lot of sense to me, highly recommend giving this fic a go

my description: hoh boy this one is a duzy! non-established omegaverse. steve and eddie have no idea what’s happening to them. this fic is so incredibly fucked up and yet also so tender and sweet. it took me 3 months to get through it both bc it’s long as FUCK but also bc about 75% of the way through shit hits the fan and it’s hard to read so i kept taking breaks and reading other fics in between. but it was so worth it to keep coming back and finish reading. if you dive into this one please please mind the tags and the authors notes bc they are very intense, Az does not hold anything back. I love her writing, i’ve read several of her other steddie fics too and they are always masterpieces! there is so so much i could say about this fic but i would never ever shut up bc it’s just so good on so many levels but this post is already a mile long. if anyone ever does read it lmk bc id love to yap about it with literally anyone.

My description: a space whale fic where keith sees into 3 other realities and watches himself fall in love with lance in each one! Cannon AU + Mermaid AU + Coffee Shop AU + Cyberpunk AU! this fic was so well written. I love a fic that taps into the “they are in love in every universe” idea. The way this author writes keith (all 4 versions of him) really resonates with me. this is def a fic that i am going to keep thinking about for a long time! the way that each universe mirrored the others while still being a unique and interesting version of my fav boys falling in love it was so fun to watch each storyline unfold together. the dynamic between keith & pidge was *chefs kiss*
Realized Too Late by TheLovely_Sunny_Honney

my description: keith has a close call and realizes some things, unfortunatly as per usual he is just a little too late, by the time he gets to the castle ship the blue paladin is already dead, in a fit of rage he takes down the whole empire. This is author's first fic!! yay we love to see new fic writers! it is incredibly tragic, i usually avoid character death fics like this but it was short and well done. I hope the author does write the longer fic they suggested where keith makes a deal with haggar to bring lance back!

my description: lance gets taken by the galra and injected repeatedly with nightmare serum. keith helps him deal with the nightmares when they finally get him back. a classic iteration of the sharing a bed just to help my straight(?) homie with their nightmares and no other reason trope. been having a delightful time reading through much of stillkicking’s works! i love their writing and they way they portray my fav idiot boys in love! i’ll keep reading pretty much anything you put out at this point. thank you for sharing❤️💙

my description: the team gets hit with a love spell making them all fall in love with lance. except for keith who is unaffected due to his preexisting strong feeling towards lance. lance assumes said strong feelings are hate. this was a cute little one shot of the boys learning to communicate a little better. the team fighting over and flirting with lance was so funny

my description: royal AU. keith crown prince of marmora meets a handsome stranger at a masquerade ball, not long after he meets the new stable boy lance and for some reason he just can’t get this boy out of his head. this fic was SO GOOD i literally could not put it down and finished the whole thing in one day. it was so well written, i was eating it up. absolutely worth a read. this one is going on my list to come back to and i’m probably gonna check out some more works by this author

my description: during s6e1 Omega sheild when lance basically dies, he is pulled into reds astral plane and so is keith all the way on the space whale. lance thinking he is dead confesses to keith. Allura brings him back with her altean alchemy and confesses to lance. honestly a heart wrenching fic. a quick read but worth it.

My Description: A collection of one shots from one of my absolute fave Klance authors! honestly every single one is a banger. been working my way through these for a while but i finally finished them this month. almost every single one shot i wish could be a larger story the worlds that wittyy is able to create in (relatively) short stories are incredible, they are so fun and interesting and i just want more. i find myself still thinking about some of these AUs weeks after reading them. some of my favs from the collection are the King of fools parts 1 and 2, Make me a drink, and Pretty Man
they also have a oneshot collection with ratings from G to M here

my description: post warffle garffle snick fic. keith feels terrible and anxious about how he justified voting for lance on bobs game show and fixes it w lance. Honestly, StillKicking does such a great job with these characters, another banger. they represent lance’s insecurities in a way that resonates and give his character so much depth that the show ignored. justice for lance he could have had such great character dev if they didn’t boil his character down to allura love interest by the end of show. these boys have my whole heart.

my description: unfinished fic about blade keith returning to the castle for Lance’s Bday. seriously so cute. i hope StillKicking continues to update this one, i’ve been reading through a bunch of their klance fics recently and really been enjoying them! very excited to see where this one goes next. loving the hinting at clone shiro as keith feels things being off in the castle upon his return. can’t wait to find out exactly what lances birthday wish is!
On Thin Ice by orphaned_work

my description: figure skater x hockey player AU. I LOVED this fic. i have so much to say… this fic is so well developed. the characters go through so much a growth and we get such a raw look into the motivations/struggles of my favorite boys. plus i love an idiots in love but this time it’s on ice! it follows hockey!keith being forced into figure skating lessons by shiro to improve his footwork where he encounters figure skater!lance and they both have to learn to navigate life’s uncertainties/vulnerabilities. unfortunately the fic was (sorta) abandoned bc the author was harassed/fell or of love with the fic. It greatly saddens me when i see this happening. Fandom is a space of gifting/a gift economy and we as fans/readers are not entitled to the labor of any creator. authors are people with their own lives outside of creating/writing. they do this bc they love it and they share it bc we love it too and for people to bully and harass someone to the point that they can no longer stand to look at a work they once loved is horrific behavior. the author was kind enough to provide us with a fragmented and unpolished closure through prewritten scenes and overviews strung together we we could see where the fic was headed and how it was supposed to end. and i am eternally grateful for that as i was eating up every word of this fic. but it’s more than we deserved based on what the author said on why they were abandoning the fic. would recommend reading this one even with the unpolished ending we got.
