It took me this long to work out that Kaltenecker the cow is called Kaltenecker because of Benjamin Kaltenecker the producer and I feel like I've let the entire fandom down, anyroad, do you happen to have any fic recommendations? Have a nice day!

I owe the same knowledge entirely to a tumblr post I saw after season 2 aired, so fret not dear friend you weren’t alone in that particular boat

as for fic recs, here are the last couple I read and have really enjoyed! if you’re into klance definitely check them out;

Fake It Till You Make It by nikkiRA

Rating: M

Pairings: Keith/Lance, mentioned Shiro/Allura

Keith and Lance get sent to recruit a civilization of aliens into the Voltron Alliance, but end up having to pretend date to weasel their way out of some rather...compromising positions. The characterization in this fic was really good, plus it was just flat out funny. There are so many cleverly crafted lines and enjoyable scenarios, so despite the premise being a little odd, it was a really enjoyable read. Plus, fake dating, my ultimate trope weakness that somehow managed to be both enjoyably cliché and excitingly unconventional at the same time. It doesn’t always take the traditional ‘fake dating trope’ route, so there was definitely a level of surprise there at times as well. I wouldn’t be too put off by the rating, while things definitely get a little heavier in later chapters, things are relatively non-explicit, as the tags suggest. Absolutly worth the read if you’re willing to hear about space boners and the like.

Rating: G

Pairings: Keith/Lance

A really cute university AU fic where Keith and Lance are roommates that have never met because their schedules are so wildly different. Until, you know, Lance finds Keith passed out on their couch one day. I wept. And laughed. If I remember correctly someone also sets a kitchen on fire. Please read this.

two bros, chillin' in a space pool by memesofbees

Rating: M

Pairings: Keith/Lance

A clever written take on the whole pool scene from season 2, in which Lance is a competitive shit and Keith is a hothead and they’ve both got it mutually bad for one another. Rating is for makeouts, if you’re comfortable with that I wouldn’t worry about anything any heavier cropping up. Oneshot but still worth the read!

(these ones aren’t completed but are still worth checking out!)

Diplomatic Difficulties by TemenCMoth

Rating: T

Pairings: Keith/Lance

Keith and Lance manage to get themselves accidentally space engaged and Allura is having an absolute aneurism over what this means for the fate of the universe and, more importantly, the thinly veiled sanity of literally everyone on the ship. The boys pine, they are dense. It’s highly entertaining.

The Quiet by MilkTeaMiku

Rating: NR

Pairings: Keith/Lance

Keith has the ability to see ghosts, and also for some reason also thinks working at a hospital is his best line of work. Lance is a ghost oddly unlike any other he has ever met before, which intrigues Keith much more than it should. Strange things begin happening at work as Keith gets more and more tangled up in Lance’s (after)life, and he must learn to unravel the mystery of what exactly the hell is going on before its too late for all of them. A more angsty but really interesting fic with a plot that constantly keeps the reader on their toes, 100% worth the read.
