SUMMARY

All The Little Things

Or: 5 times Keith let Lance get away with things that he'd never let anyone else do, and 1 time Lance realized that he was, apparently, special

EXCERPT

“Look at her, Keith,” Lance says. “Tell me that’s not the face of a liar.”

“I’m not the one you should be worried about,” Pidge says. “You’re the one currently hugging grumpypants. He doesn’t even let Shiro hug him.”

Keith stiffens against Lance’s side and Lance takes offense on Keith’s behalf.

“Just what I would expect from you!” Lance says dramatically. “More lies!” He turns, wrapping his free arm around Keith’s waist and hugging him from the side. “Keith loves my hugs!”

Pidge squints, in what Lance likes to call her Calculating Face, so he sticks his tongue out at her and unwinds himself from Keith, turning toward the door.

MY COMMENTS

This fic is by far the most indulging fic I’ve come across within these past few days. The way Lance is oblivious to Keith’s signals and their friends just gaping at them and staring whilst Lance is just “Oh this is normal for us.” Everything about this fic is just so soft and so fluffy, there are no bad vibes and I’m here for it.

(03/04/19) What I’m working on right now...

By the time Lance returned with the beers (in glasses, because Keith seemed to really care about that, for some reason). Keith had moved to the big easy chair and had his feet up. He’d found some old cheesy ‘giant monster’ movie in poorly dubbed Spanish with even worse English subtitles for them to watch. Lance took that as his cue that the conversation portion of the night was done and so he settled onto the couch. Between the terrible translations and Keith’s knack for MST3K’ing the movie in a shockingly deadpan voice, there were several times that Lance laughed himself silent.

It was a good cap to a really rough day and after the movie, he loaded up the dishwasher with Keith’s help and turned out the lights. They climbed the stairs together and he was saying good night outside the door to Keith’s guest room when he felt warm, soft fingers on his face, cradling his jaw. Keith leaned in close, his eyes seemed more purple in the low light- closer to Gaia’s eye color. Expression serious, eyes intent, Keith seemed to be studying him. Time felt weird and Lance felt his breathing change. Keith shifted his weight, moved a little closer; his hand slid up, resting on Lance’s cheek softly.

“Keith?” his name was barely more than a breath, the atmosphere felt too heavy and important to risk anything more.

“The burns look good,” Keith said, smiling softly, “I think the bandages are helping. Sleep tight, Lance.”

“Oh. Yeah. Thanks… uh… you, too.” He flashed a bright smile and gave a half-hearted little wave as Keith ducked into the room housing his sleeping children. Several minutes passed before Lance realized he was staring at the closed door.

What the hell was THAT?!?!

For a second there he’d thought…

Thought?

Hoped?

It kind of seemed like Keith might...

Shit.

Definitely not hoped…

This was… fine.

He was… fine.

Everything was fine.

Fine.

Word Count: 4, 793

Summary: Based off a tumblr post that basically said: Shiro only elbowed Lance when he was flirting with Nyma, because he knows about Keith's crush on him and doesn't want to see his bro suffer.

Also known as 5 times Shiro ruined Lance's flirting attempts, and the 1 time he didn't have to.

Rated: T

Time of the Month

@quiznakingred He had no idea when they had become ‘friends’. Growing up, they had been rivals but they had the same friend group and as the years went by, Lance had to admit Keith wasn’t a jerk 100% of the time. They had their moments but as much as Lance didn’t like to admit it (playful arguments were just too much fun with Keith) they had each other’s backs when things got rough. Which they currently were. Keith was being super grumpy the last couple of days and Lance couldn't figure out why. They had just gotten out of swim practice and were heading to Lance's shitty jeep when Keith had snapped at him again. "Dude. What is your problem? Is it that time of the month?" Lance joked, hoping Keith would actually tell him what was wrong. He dumped his bag into the back and hopped into the drivers seat, waiting for Keith to do the same.

THE TWO OF CUPS by RangoAteMyBaby | 20/20 Chapters

RATING && TAGS: Mature // alternate universe — hogwarts + slowburn + the rivalry is still there because these two are dumbasses + mutual pining + love letters + misunderstanding + secret identity + oblivious!lance + pining!keith

SUMMARY

It's been forty years since the Second Wizarding War. Lots of things are different now but some things never change.

The new school year is starting and for Lance it's a chance to learn new skills, make new friends, and achieve his lifelong dreams. All Keith wants to do is get through his classes without anyone getting in his way. These two students clash due to some misunderstandings and opposing opinions. And they both have to wonder if its possible for two people, so utterly different, to be friends? What about something more?

EXCERPT

“I’ll take that action. You lost last time too,” Pidge grins. “He’ll be here. He’s never late if it’s important.”

Keith perks up at that information. For some reason, it’s an eye-opening revelation for him but it feels like something he should have noticed sooner. Lance’s poor time management makes a hell of a lot more sense now. It's subconscious. He's only late to things he doesn’t prioritize as important... like some of his classes and his dates with Inez.

But Lance never misses a practice with his team. Always on time for his scheduled tutoring sessions. And like clockwork never misses an evening conversation with Lion.

MY COMMENTS

Hello, yes, this fic reawakened by Harry Potter phase—but that’s not the point here. The incorporation of ‘fake-identity’ and love letters mixed with Lance’s obliviousness and Keith’s denial-later acceptance is just adorable

HIGH TIDE, INCOMING by seaborn | 1/1 chapters

TAGS && RATING: Teen and Up Audiences // canon universe + pining!keith + oblivious!lance + confession + they’ve reached Earth, hallelujah + friends to lovers + fluff

SUMMARY

It starts like this:

They’re sitting across from each other at a table in the local burger joint, tossing casual banter and the occasional insult back and forth. It’s familiar and comfortable, reminiscent of every other conversation they’ve ever had, until out of nowhere Lance leans forward and says with a mouth full of fries, “Let’s date.”

EXCERPT

“Lance, I—” But Lance is giving him the classic puppy-dog look, eyes wide and pleading, and Keith can’t say no. He exhales, making his bangs float upward, then concedes, “Fine. But only for a month.”

“Really?” Lance looks surprised for a moment, as if he hadn’t even been expecting Keith to agree, then lets out a triumphant crow. “We’re gonna be so good, just you wait. Everyone’s gonna talk about us wherever we go, like, Lance and Keith: Ass-Kicking Space Boyfriends. Or Space Ranger Partners. Something like that.”

“Don’t you dare,” Keith warns. “Or else I’m backing out, and you won’t be able to say you’ve dated anyone ever.”

MY COMMENTS

It isn’t news when I say Lance is an oblivious walnut, but I shit you not, the obliviousness in this fic is exasperating in a different level. This fic is lowkey slowburn, but the scenes are so pretty. This fic is just so fluid and flows in a perfect speed. This fic it’s angsty moments, but most of it is just fluff.

WANTED by SharkGirl | 1/1 chapters

RATING && TAGS: Teen and Up Audiences // canon universe + love potion + accidental drugging + everyone’s in love with lance + pining!keith + jealous!keith + oblivious!lance

SUMMARY

Lance bounced his knee and then crossed his legs under him as he stared at the bottle. Was he supposed to get Allura to drink it? Or should he dump it on her? That seemed rude.

“Yeah, just about as rude as forcing someone to fall in love with you,” he quipped sarcastically. Then he shot to his feet, startling the mice. “Nope,” he said. “I can’t do it.”

Or, Lance finds an ancient Altean love potion and, even though he decides not to use it, fate (or the space mice) have other plans...

EXCERPT

“You know,” Lance mumbled against Keith’s lips. “I could get used to this.”

“Yeah?” Keith asked, drawing back and looking at Lance with hooded eyes.

“Mhm,” Lance replied. “And, I know you’ve liked me for a long time. And I mean a really long time-”

“Lance…”

“-but if you’re willing to wait for my feelings to catch up with yours,” Lance breathed. “I’d really like to see where this goes.”

“Well.” Keith lifted his hand to tug on the hair just above the nape of Lance’s neck. “You always were a bit behind the curve, huh?”

MY COMMENTS

I’m a sucker for these tropes and honestly, I found it really amusing to see Keith pine after Lance. I love how Lance isn’t going to use the Love Potion, but it still spilled into the vents because of the mice anyway. Jealous Keith was also very fun to read and paired up with an ever oblivious Lance? A recipe for disaster.

NIGHTMARES by Trashness | 1/1 chapters

RATING && TAGS: Teen and Up Audiences // canon universe + pining!lance + pining!keith + oblivious + lowkey slowburn + same bed trope + fluff

SUMMARY

Lance's nightmares are getting out of control. It's effecting his and the team's performance, but he's at a loss for how to fix this.

Apparently sleeping next to a warm body helps.

EXCERPT

Keith is many things. Impulsive, impatient, skeptical, socially inept… he’s been described as all of these things, and to be honest, he doesn’t disagree with them.

But he’s never been called selfish.

But he is. Keith is becoming incredibly selfish.

He’s selfish in how he hoards all of Lance’s touches throughout the night. He sometimes lays there, just watching Lance sleep, committing to memory the way his mouth angles itself when it’s slack and how his eyebrows sometimes crinkle when he’s dreaming.

Keith will sometimes prop himself up on his elbow during the few lucky mornings he wakes up before Lance, and watch his chest rise and fall in an easy rhythm. He reaches out, guiltily, and runs his fingers through his short hair. He brushes the strands out of his face and relishes how Lance seems to lean into his touch.

MY COMMENTS

I just reread this fic and now I remember why I adore this fic with my whole heart please. The way they’re both pining for each other and yet they don’t realize the other is pining for them too and they’re both disasters. This has got to be the best usage of the same bed trope; everything is so delicate and gentle, careful in hopes of not hurting the other and I love it so much. This fic is definitely a personal favorite.
