Part Time Soulmate, Full Time Problem (Mature, 145k+ words) is an ongoing canon-compliant soulmate au where Keith and Lance can feel each other's pain

Say Your Piece and Let It Linger (Mature, 19k+ words) mid season 6, Keith returns to the castle of lions for Lance's birthday. It's supposed to only be for the day, but a strange series of coincidences keep preventing him from leaving, and as he spends more time at the castle he starts to question if leaving the team was the right choice after all

And a Partridge in a Pear Tree (Teen, 17k words, complete) a secret santa fic for @tamaytsuki where Lance visits the cafe Keith works at every day leading up to holiday break, trying to muster up the courage to ask him out

There’s Nothing in My System (So I’m Feeling What I Feel for You) (Teen, 3,684 words, complete) a collab with @missmullet that includes incredible art she made !! Keith and Lance get stung by one of two bugs: either a mostly-harmless lovebug, or a bug whose venom has no symptoms until sting victims drop dead fourteen hours later. When they insist they feel no different after being stung, the entire team assumes Keith and Lance have fourteen hours left to live. The boys are forced to await their shared fate in quarantine while the rest of the team scrambles to make an antidote in time.

Would Eternity Be So Bad? (Teen, 4,463 words, complete) Keith and Lance talk about the feud episode, because we all know Keith's alleged reasoning for saving Lance was a bald-faced lie

by proxy (Explicit, 8k+ words) a collab with @existwound with art from @missmullet, Matt gets sick of waiting for Keith and Lance to confess to each other and takes matters into his own hands by sleeping with both of them to try and move things along

all asks are tagged as #kicking asks and the fic lists are tagged as #klance fic recs

happy klancing!! ❤️💙

do u have any fic recs with MAJOR pining keith?

HI THERE WISEHEARTWHEELER !!!!!!!!!

long time no fic list sorry fam but oh man do i have some major pining keith recs for you

Letters to Lance by AsterikaMay (42,747 words, rated G) is PEAK pining Keith content hoy hell this fic has me dead on the floor and i mean that in the best way possible. knocked the fucking wind out of me i've said it before and i'll say it again asterika is a writing wizard. this fic is written in the format of keith, you guessed it, writing letters to lance throughout their time in space, as well as some letters to other people and mayhaps even a letter or two Keith receives in return. fics like this aren't generally my favorite format and i adore this one it bewitched me body and soul etc etc please read it it's sooo beautifully written i was genuinely so emotional when i finished it

while i'm at it, starlight by AsterikaMay (5,654 words, rated G) is also great pining keith content. keith and lance are coworkers installing solar panels and have been dating for 2 weeks, but keith is worried he's not good enough at being a boyfriend. the way asterika ties canon into this au so well is truly baffling to me idk what the hell is going on in her mind but it's next level

What is love? (Baby don't hurt me) by winterkeep (6,361 words, rated T) is a vet tech lance / dog dad Keith au that's a sequel to man's best friend and both fics have incredible pining keith content but I'd say the second one really focuses on keith being so down bad for lance its adorable. when we were talking about this fic winterkeep said it's so like klance to be mutually pining even when they're in an established relationship and i couldn't agree more. man's best friend is about Keith finding kosmo as a stray and meeting Lance along the way, and what is love? (baby don't hurt me) is about them finding and fostering kittens and keith trying to figure out how to tell lance he loves him. both fics had me giggling and kicking my feet they are the cutest most tooth-rottingly sweet fics you'll ever read and you'll need to call your dentist after but it will be worth the bill i promise

Half the Galaxy by heavily_caffeinated (12,930 words, rated M) i absolutely adore this fic and i feel like i don't see people talk about it as much as caf's other works (which are all bangers ofc they absolutely deserve the hype they get !!!) but this one is soo fun its a canonverse fic where, in order to earn the trust and alliance with a planet the paladins all have to drink a truth serum, and keith confesses to being in love with lance. the intergalactic tabloids have a field day with the story of keith's tragic, unrequited love, and keith leans into it for the publicity and support it brings voltron. lance, as you might assume, takes issue with this for a number of reasons

we make out when it's too late by cinnaroot (31,329 words, rated M) keith and lance are friends with benefits and obviously keith is so totally fine with that, and is soooo cool and chill with never being more than this. it's going perfectly fine, until shiro and allura find out and put a stop to it, and bc keith and lance can't be normal about anything ever, it all goes to shit (happy ending tho, of course !!! <3)

I HOPE YOU ENJOYY !!!!!!!!!!!!! you can also check out these previous lists for more pining keith content x x x

[still--kicking]

any langsty klance recs? Like where Lance gets injured type shi? Thanks :))

everybody loves to put poor Lance in a blender (or maybe we just love watching Keith go a little feral idk) ((it's probably both))

here are some I've posted before that live rent-free in my brain:

So Much More Than Space Dust by ad_asterism (47,613 words, rated M) I read this one for the first time recently and I can't stop thinking about it. a healing pod malfunctions and wipes Lance's memory of the last seven months in space, including a month where he and Keith were captured by Lotor and Lance was tortured. some of the torture does happen on screen, but it's easy to skip if you choose to. this one is so incredible please read it omg

On the line (stay with me) by hiuythn (4,591 words, rated T) Lance is gravely injured and calls Keith, who's away with the Blades, just to have someone on the phone with him (this is the same author as there, nestled against his pulse which I'm assuming you've read but if you haven't, you need to)

I want your heavens and your oceans too by mothpoem (11,610 words, Rated T) Lance is badly injured and, delirious, tries hitting on the Blade member who rescues him. I'll give you exactly one guess who that Blade member ends up being

My soul has your claim, my soul is in flames by queen-of-voltronian (146,137 words, rated T) takes place during season 7, Lance is pining HARD and then accidentally gets cursed and has to kiss the person he loves most before sundown. And then plot happens. They also address all the bullshit the writers did to Lance in the later half of the show. It's immaculate. I cried. I wouldn't say this is Lance in a literal blender but he's in an emotional blender for SURE poor boy is going through it

Today, Anew by MemeKonVLD (5,910 words, Rated M) Keith is stuck in a time loop where Lance keeps dying, and Keith keeps trying to save him

Devour Me Whole by heavily_caffeinated (12,312 words, rated M) Keith and Lance are captured by a druid who wants to drain their quintessence, and they're both self-sacrificial / protective idiots in love. I adore them <3

and here are some new ones, but I haven't read all of them so mind the tags!! <3

Terminal Velocity by Speaks (26,277 words, rated T) I'll just leave this fic summary here for you, "The only fate worse than being tortured to death is watching, helpless, while the person you love most takes your place" bone apple teeth <3

you may have already read this one because it just finished and lots of people have been posting about it but Where the Apple Falls by europa_report (145,819 words, rated M) "When Lance is fatally wounded during their final battle, the blue lion enters a deep hibernation with Lance inside. Unsure when or if he’ll wake, Keith is forced to wait and watch over him in the company of the people he fears most: Lance’s family."

O come let us adore him by Bandity (34,461 words, Rated T) I haven't read this one but Lance gets stranded on a planet and it seems like the aliens who find him are a little too fond of him. It's not tagged with rape/non-con but check the tags before you read!!

Sorry it took me a while to make your list, but I hope you enjoy the recs!! <3

[still--kicking]

Hey!! If you still do fic requests I was wondering if you had any that have to do with Lance and Keith somehow seeing theyre married/together in the future and how that unfurls (especially if the older versions are involved) orrrr forced confessions and angst with like a curse or some alliance gone wrong stuff!! thank youu

Hi Anon!!!

I do still do the rec lists in theory haha I've fallen super behind on them and kinda locked in on writing my own fic but I am still happy to get asks about them and will answer them when I can !!!

this list got long so i put the recs under the cut lol enjoy <33

for the married in the future trope, klance had soo many of those so I highly recommend searching in the time travel tag, that's probably the best way to find them! but here are some of my favorites !!

time out of mind by aknightley (27,849 words, rated T) Keith and Lance wake up in the future married as fuck :)

the companion fics Ghost of the Future by Zizzani (146,688 words, rated T) and Shadow of the Past by WittyyName (154,648 words, rated T) are based on the premise where Lance from two separate points in time get swapped, and ofc future Lance is dating Keith. Each fic has one chapter left unfinished but I know wittyy posted a klance fic recently so likeeee if you read this and you're enjoying it leave comments as you go and maybe it'll get finished, who knows

your future's ready to shine (so don't close your eyes) by ShatterinSeconds (7,731 words, rated T) another legendary klance author tbh any au you could possibly want to read shatterinseconds has probably written at least once

to breathe in this mirage by existwound (52,411 words, rated M) canon timeline Lance wakes up ten years in the future and is shocked to find that he's married to Keith. (if ten year time skips and aggressive pining are your jam go read escape velocity too while you're at it)

another existwound fic, seeing double (14,014 words, rated T) Keith and Lance meet their counterparts from another reality and, once again, are shocked to discover their counterparts are dating. it's like these guys don't ever check their own ao3 smh

and some that fit the vibe but aren't strictly time travel:

Picket fence in a yard of stars by Reader115 (52,804 words, rated T) right after the battle of Naxzela where Keith tries to sacrifice himself, he is swapped with himself from an alternate reality. In that reality, he and Lance are married and have adopted two children. Listen. I would Die for this fic. I would lay my life down to protect this fic. from what? doesn't matter. it's so precious and so so perfect please read it I can't recommend this one enough

Like a second heart by aquietdin (20,958 words, rated M) Lance wakes up in a hospital bed and learns he was injured and lost five years worth of memories, during which the war ended, and he married Keith. Also Allura is alive in this one <33

Poor boys and pilgrims by SirCumference (85,000 words, rated M) while in the quantum abyss, Keith sees visions of himself in three alternate realities where he's falling in love with Lance. this fic has it all, a mermaid / pirate au, a cyberpunk au, a coffeeshop au, and even a post canon fix it. chef's kiss

for forced confessions / curses / alliance gone wrong scenarios, I could honestly make another whole list but I'll hit you with a few of my favorites:

Life, The Universe, And Everything by winterkeep (17,194 words, rated M) Keith and Lance are friends with benefits and trying to hide their feelings from each other, and then have to get fake (real?) married to save an alliance. I adore this one it's so fucking good

My soul has your claim, my soul is in flames by queen-of-voltronian (146,137 words, rated T) takes place during season 7, Lance is pining HARD and then accidentally gets cursed and has to kiss the person he loves most before sundown. And then like, so much plot happens.

loud and clear by jilliancares (15,556 words, rated E) Keith and Lance get mind linked and have to learn to live with it. i love the mind link trope tbh THAT could be it's own list too at this point

some of these fics are repeat recs but i hope you still enjoy them and find some new ones !!! ❤️💙

[still--kicking]

got any good fic recs?

oh boy, do i

My favorite lovebug fic is antidote by ardenrabbit, it's an angsty spin on the lovebug trope where Keith feels physical pain when he's not in contact with Lance and I love that level of angst

If you haven't read there, nestled against his pulse yet YOU GOTTA this fic is THE klance soulmate fic it's so fucking good it makes me cry every single time and that's all I'm gonna say

Echo my heart is another incredible soulmate fic, it's a college au where Lance is mute and communicated with sign language and texting / a white board and Keith is grumpy and doesn't believe in soulmates because of course he doesn't. This one is so precious I absolutely adore it

Like a second heart is a post canon fic where Lance and Keith are married, but Lance loses about five years of memories and we get to watch him fall in love with Keith again :') another one that makes me cry. Allura also lives in this one <3

Suspended momentum is another post canon fic where Shiro gets all the paladins to come teach at the garrison for a semester and oh no Keith and Lance have to be roommates because of limited staff housing !!! Bummer !!!

Poor boys and pilgrims is a fucking masterpiece, it follows Keith in the quantum abyss seeing visions of himself in three alternate realities where he falls in love with Lance each time. This one has the in canon universe, a mermaid/pirate au, a coffeeshop au, and a cyberpunk/android au SirCumference popped OFF with this

By the same author, back to the wall is a rock climbing gym au that follows Keith and Lance in their 20s navigating chronic illness and as a chronically ill girlie this fic is so special to me

Picket fence in a yard of stars takes place immediately after the battle of naxzela, where canon Keith gets swapped with a version of himself from another reality where he and Lance are married and have adopted two children. It's PEAK I love this fic so much

Lion at my side is a bodyguard au, Lance is a popstar Keith is his bodyguard and it's immaculate absolutely chefs kiss

Like the night falling is an astronomy grad student au and it included illustrations from the author, I absolutely recommend anything and everything they've written but this one is so sweet

Love me twice, save me thrice is a fey au where Lance is a fey and Keith is half fey half human and it's better than any published fey stories I've read

Anyway I should probably stop but these are all pretty long and I think mostly rated T-M so if you want a part 2 with shorter fics / one shots or less explicit ones lmk and I am happy to provide!!! And if you read any of these please let me know what you think, I'd love to talk about them !!!

[still--kicking]

hii

Do you have any fics with black paladin lance? I've read Pitch Black and I NEED MORE SO BAAAAAD

Thank you!

hiiii long time no fic rec post !!!

Speak for the Stars by speaks (49,349 words, rated T) deals with the clone shiro plotline better than the show did

Sure and Indelible by JiveyUncle (22,713 words, rated T) a reincarnation fic where altean Lance holds a grudge against human Keith for something he did in his past life as a Galran. Angst with a happy ending, and there's incredible art by the author throughout this one !!

not sure if it's considered bad form to rec my own fic but Say Your Piece and Let It Linger will (spoiler alert) be a black paladin Lance fic once it's complete. the next chapter of this one is basically ready so I should probably lock in and post that like... this week probably

sorry this list was shorter but hopefully these were new to you!! <3

[still--kicking]

hiihihi could u recommend more keith in a blender fics?

hiiii yes absolutely!!!!

it's still in progress, but I am absolutely OBSESSED with A Little Death by AsterikaMay, (37,584 words so far, rated T) 3/5 chapters are out so far and when this fic updates I cancel plans to read it. it's so good AGH it takes place during Keith's BoM era, and a druid does ✨ something ✨ to him that fucks him up, but no one knows what it is so the BoM drop him off with team voltron until he gets better. this is the whump / sickfic of my dreams I can't recommend it enough

AsterikaMay also wrote Letters to Lance (42,747 words, rated G) which isn't Keith in a blender necessarily but is an incredible Keith character study told through the format of Keith writing, you guessed it, letters to Lance (and maybe, perhaps, some letters he receives back). I just adore this fic so dearly and I think everyone should read it and if you love Keith you'll love this fic

enjoy!!! <33

[still--kicking]

hi!! do you have any recs for klance fantasy/magic aus with actual plot + worldbuilding (not just fluff)? i’m looking for post-canon vibes (with smooth-without-trying keith + soft/independent lance and both r badass-, bonus if he gets the princess treatment 👀) team bonding has my heart tooo. i loved life after death + sunflower, so anything with that depth would be perfect 💙TYSM IN ADVANCE IF NOT POSSIBLE NP- anyways Love ya-

for in depth fantasy aus, the author wittyyname is going to have your back. my personal fave of theirs is love me twice, save me thrice, which I've recommended before and on god I will recommend it again. one of my favorite fics of all time for real. but they also have a dragonriders au and several other extensive fantasy aus that are all ✨chef's kiss✨

I feel like you'd also enjoy Poor Boys and Pilgrims by SirCumference, another one I've recommended before because it is another of my all time favorites. this is a space whale fic that has three aus + the canon timeline and one of the aus is a mermaid!Lance, and I think if you appreciate plot and worldbuilding you'll love this one

also, here is a list of mermaid aus I made a while back if you want more of those!!

star-crossed by realfakedoors (353,548 words, rated E) is a dark fantasy with prince keith and some cinderella elements, but mind the tags before you read!

one more repeat, but another classic that never misses is Fit the crown to my head by aknightley (75,705 words, rated T) Prince Keith is so down bad for stable boy Lance in this one it's almost embarrassing for him. also like political plot happens while Keith is busy hiding his terminal case of down badism. not the smooth Keith you requested but I love this fic and gotta give it a shout out when I can <3

Sorry for all the repeats on this one, but hopefully some of these recs are new to you. enjoy !!! <3
