"you're… scared of me, aren't you?"
chapter two of my fic, ode to the marigold
fuck it, klance fic recs! I'm gonna make a list of recent fics I've read and highly recommend checking out 🫶🏼 will try to update this every time I read a new one (which is ... very often)
(updated may 15)
No Place is Home by @catsushinyakajima (AsterikaMay on ao3) - woof finally managed to read this! This is a very heavy, but very beautiful, fic about Lance coming back from Space and finding out his twin Rachel has died. Trigger warning (ofc), but this is such a beautiful fic, and we're just at the first two chapters! Can't wait to read the rest 💞
six by @jupiters-junipers (europa_report on ao3) - OF COURSE I'm gonna read the sequel of five. And OF COURSE I'm gonna enjoy it and cry and scream at 3 AM. And you should too! This is on-going, so I... I am scared of what will come. But I trust Europa, I know she will give us a beautiful ending (but not without pain first—)
The Craving by haryuusart - guys honestly this might be cheesy, but I'm just SO proud of this one lol AND technically, I did re-read this again before publishing its last chapter, sooo... anyway, thought some of you might be interested! Lance gets cursed by an alien Priestess during a visit to Hebeyl, the "Planet of Love".... chaos ensues
(apr 24)
five by @jupiters-junipers - GOD, europa strikes again. Just stayed up til 4 am to read this. It was like watching an even more intense hunger games honestly, I could NOT put it down for one sec 😭 Highly recommend if you enjoy team Voltron put in a blender (but tw for violence, psychological torture and trauma. LOTS of trauma)
Somewhere in outer space by eveningstar444 - still ongoing, I'm very interested in knowing what will happen!! Lance and Keith are lost in space while actively hating each other (what's new)
Skin still by fawnface - THE TENSIONNNN goddd loved this one!!! Keith confronts Lance after he kissed him. Sexual content, not super explicit! Very enjoyable + funny scene at the end
(apr 16)
who are you again? by @jilliancares - one of my favourite klance writers of all time recently started writing klance again and I couldn't be happier about it. I WAS STARVING!! Such a fun, short story about Lance having amnesia and finding out Keith's his boyfriend!
escape velocity by @existwound - i don't even know what to say about this. like, just read it. Post canon, nsfw content, incredible, so well written. I stayed up for several nights just because I couldn't stop reading it GOD existwound your brain........
take me by the hand by spaghetti_o - another short story, sooo cute. Lance and Keith dance together and then... Things happen (nsfw). I really enjoyed Keith's characterization in this one, a bit different from "the usual"!!
April fanfic round up - another doozy but some great fic recs in here.

description: where ilya and shane become pen palls over email for school early on and keep in touch, which leads to a whole relationship. I am still early in the fic but it is an html coded fic so you get to see the emails, gifs, texts etc. in their format. its really cute so far. Cant wait to keep reading and find out what happens when they finally meet in person.
escape velocity by existwound
pairing: klance
rating: e
words: 128,447
description: I finally bit the bullet. This one has been open in my ao3 tabs for awhile, idk why I was so resistant to starting it, especially since I have read and liked other works by existwound before. I am only a few chapters in, but it has me hooked so far. I love the two timelines, cant wait to see how it all plays out. will report back again next month.

rating: t
words: 50,464
description: modern magic AU, keith is a cursebreaker, and lance is in need of some curse breaking they work together to try and figure out how to break the very dark curse and save Lance's life. I really liked this AU it was pretty keith centric but I'm a keith lover so i was here for it. basically just another masterpiece from aknightly, they havnt had a miss yet imo

pairing: klance
rating: e
words: 6,189

Galra Instincts by SherbetLemon
pairing: klance
rating: t
words: 16,310
description: keith keeps giving shiny rocks to lance, the team finds out this is his galra side coming through and meddle, everyone is confused. this was a very cute fic, the boys are very dumb but they are in love so ill let it slide this time.

pairing: klance
rating: e
words: 151,981
descriptions: five is if bob was evil and trying to kill them all, talk about putting the paladins (especially keith and lance) through the fucking blender. so much psychological and physical trauma! these poor boys, warfle garfle snick might just be the end of them. AND THEN six is about what happens after they escape from warfle garfle snick and bob's torture. healing pods? never heard of her, they are healing from both their physical and psychic damage the long way round and they the boys are too traumatized to see past their own shit and just talk to each other. enjoying it very much so far! cant wait for the next chapter.
hold me tight series by Katranga
pairing: klance
rating: e
words: 42,955
description: trans!keith, autistic!keith. I really liked keith's characterization in this one. he has a lot he is working through and figuring out and Lance is so patient with him. His grief felt very familiar to my own, he is navigating some very complicated emotions and experiences as he figures out how to be in a relationship with Lance.
vision series by nebulastucky
pairing: zukka
rating: e
words: 63,453
description: post canon, fire lord zuko and water tribe ambassador sokka. Surprise, the atla leeks got me reading zukka fics again, this series was very cute, the first fic is essentially a get together fic and the second is them being entirely obvious while thinking they are keeping their new relationship to themselves. they are so sweet and stupid for each other.
Ride or Die Series by Katranga
pairing: klance
rating: m
words: 92,500
description: Lance is captured by the Galra, and Keith was raised by the Galra, confused as to why the new prisoner looks so much like him. this series follows both Lance's time in prison which was pretty brutal, and then the both of them as they deal with the aftermath once Lance is rescued and convinces galra!keith to come with him. the author does a really good job of dealing with some very heavy morality questions, PTSD, etc. I really liked this one.
hey mom, i met a boy by mothpoem
pairing: klance
rating: t
words: 30,303
description: quantum abyss keith sees into his potential future with Lance, the moments in this are so tender and sweet and heartbreaking. they are shown in a non linear fashion and i just really like this fic. I thought it was really well done. Dont get me wrong I love a hurt/comfort, but it was nice to read a fic where they got to just be happy and in love for most of it.
found you in my head again by existwound
pairing: klance
rating: m
words: 13,154
description: keith and lance are accidentally bound to where they can hear one anothers thought when they are in contact. I love a mind meld/telepathy fic and this one was a fun take bc they could only hear each other when they were in contact, i loved the ways they used it to help one another until they finally figured their own shit out.

rating: M
words: 4,064
description: a post canon lion force klance fic from 2002! very domestic fic of Lance realizing some things about his relationship with keith since they got back from Arus. This was really cute and it was fun to see their dynamic from before vld. the original 80s voltron is free on roku tv if anyone is interested in visiting the ancient texts
Love Me Twice, Save Me Thrice by wittyyname
pairing: klance
rating: M
words: 157,899
description: wittyy literally never misses. this is a modern fey au where keith is half fey and lance is high court fey and they are absolutely not supposed to be friends but can’t seem to stay away from each other. I could not put this fic down. the story telling was beautiful the mystery and heartbreak that they go through to get to where they were always going to end up. the exquisitely written emotions and visual descriptions. chefs kiss. i’m obsessed. i love @wittyyname ’s work and would recommend checking out literally anything of theirs.
skybound by deareverlasting
pairing: klance
rating: gen
words: 51887
description: httyd!voltron AU hicstrid!klance. i really liked the way this author used the names and ideas from voltron to change up the httyd universe and blend the two stories in a way that created some new interesting lore while still staying true the over arching arc of the httyd story and staying true to the voltron characters (mostly). had a lot of fun reading through this and I would love to see the author expand on some of the story lines that they set up throughout this AU I would really like to see how they play out. a delightful read
ngl i did try and make this monthly post a little shorter by only including fics that I really liked and wanted to share and not every single one I read, but there are a shit ton of great fics out there so it is hard to keep it light. I read a whopping total of x fics (xxx words) this month bc I am insane. BUT I also started working on my own multi chap klance fic so keep an eye out for updates on that as I figure out the details and start writing!
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 !!!

1. Scars by crazyrandomhappenklance
Pining | T+ | 1.1K
Lance never forgot the bonding moment he had with Keith; how could he? He also carries the memory of it permanently on his back. He’s kept those scars and memories hidden for years, but one day he was bound to slip up. What is he still so scared of?
2. Longing by Isas_Identitty
Fix-it | E | 17K
After a sudden one-night-stand during the One-Year Anniverssary celebration of the end of the war, Lance and Keith start having a kind of friends with benefits arrangement. Keith is happy to not to get more than that, knowing Lance must still be feeling heartbroken after his relationship with Allura, but the more time he spends with him and is accepted by his family, the harder it gets to hold back his own feelings.
3. hey mom, i met a boy by disasteralex
Fix-it | T+ | 9.5K
The war was hard. Its end is even harder. But when Lance breaks, Keith and the others are there to help him heal.
Somewhere along the way, Keith finds his place in the universe, Shiro gets his happy ending, and Lance learns to fall in love again.
4. sick day by starlightment
Married | T+ | 1.8K
Lance catches a cold, and Keith does his absolute best.
5. the simplicity of forever by Silverine
Established relationship | T+ | 3.5K
It's almost Instructor Lance McClain's birthday, and he wants this one to be an epic celebration in his new house, with all his friends, family, and of course, his boyfriend.
But Keith had to pick this birthday to act all mysterious and unpredictable, right?
6. 'Tis the Season for Conspiracies by Reader115
Getting together | T+ | 10K
While on a relief mission, Keith insists on several Christmastime traditions after he’s hit by an alien substance that seems to have made him fall in love with Christmas
7. collide the spaces that divide us by skyestiel
Pining | T+ | 4K
“Team leaders.” Keith repeats the phrase, haltingly, and looks to Lance.
“Well, the leader and his right-hand man.”
A smile softens Keith’s features. “I’ve always liked the sound of that. ‘The leader and his right-hand man.’”
8. Say Yes To The Mess by AstroLatte
Fluff | G | 4.2K
Keith wants to sweep Lance off his feet with his proposal, that is if he doesn't get himself killed first.
ANYWAYS I hope y'all enjoy this list! I tried to rec some that were decently known alongside a bunch that weren't, and avoided all my fics that have, like, 20K or more hits. JFC klancers are crazy. I LOVE post-canon and will definitely end up reccing more fics that include this au in the future <3
Chat I want to read a lovebug/loveflower kl au

Title : I Love Who?
Author : BleuSarcelle
Words : 2,640
Status : 1/1
Story type : Short One shot.
Personal rating : 8/10
Little Comment : This fic was so silly i loved it ! It made me laugh how stupid Lance is in this #socanon. A good little read if u wanna giggle of Klance's shared stupidity
Summary : Keith snorts, rolling his eyes at the suggestion. “I don’t have love problems, Lance.”
“I don’t have love problems, Lance.” Lance mocks, making a face as he echoes Keith’s words and uses his hand as a puppet. He yelps when Keith flicks him on the cheek. “Ow, rude, and everyone has love problems, man.”
“I don’t,” Keith says confidently, shrugging with one shoulder when Lance purses his lips at him. “I mean, I don’t see it as a problem, it’s just– it is what it is.”
Keith doesn’t look troubled. Or sad. He looks resigned and tired, as if he had given his all and yet the battle had been lost since the start.
