Summary: 

“I hope I win that kiss.”

Keith wasn’t even looking at him when he said it, hunched over with his head resting against his hands over his knees, though after a while, he started to look particularly frozen at Lance’s words – Lance’s stupid, thoughtless words - but then Keith sighed.

Annoyed, he lifted his head from off his arms, eyes still glaring frustratingly down on his knees, and he groused, in that voice – god, the one that usually meant a reckoning was coming, but if he would just look up– “Dude, the kiss is with Allura–” he drawled.

Finally, he looked up and completely froze. And Lance knew he froze, too – could feel the absolutely stupid look on his face as he tried to take it all in, memorize and absorb it all – understand all the ways Keith had grown and changed.

“Lance,” Keith whispered, gutted and raw like he couldn’t believe it. Lance huffed out his own watery laugh. “Hi,” he managed back.

post-s8 klance fic recommendations!

here are some post-s8 klance fic for the soul. some are fix-it and some are canon-divergent, so take heed. more under the cut.

And Slowly, So it Goes by  Ashesofthefirststar

incomplete (1/?); post-canon; lance joins the blades’ humanitarian effort and pining ensues

Summary: Keith snorts, swiping away the holoscreen. “It’s one lady,” he says as he picks up the first crate. “And somehow I don’t think it’s your farmers tan that's keeping you.”

“You’ve been checking out my farmers tan, Keithy boy?”

Keith doesn’t give Lance the satisfaction he wants. “You’re too nice, is what it is.”

“Says the guy who started his own humanitarian organization.”

As soon as Keith turns, there’s a crate pushing against Lance’s chest. Unprepared, he grapples to find a grip, but Keith’s hold is steady. When Lance finally finds purchase, there's a hand brushing against his own.

“I didn’t say it was a bad thing, Lance.”

Or: Lance joins the Blade of Marmora, but what started off as a way to better honor Allura’s memory turns into a lesson on what it means to trust himself again.

Suspended Momentum by AstroLatte

complete (6/6); post-canon; the space crew become teachers at the garrison and keith pines hard

Summary:  Three years after the end of the war, Shiro makes his way to Lance's family's farm and offers Lance an opportunity to be an instructor at the Garrison. Although he's never taught before, Lance learns about grief, love and what it means to heal.

it was storming outside by jilliancares

complete (1/1); post-canon; keith visits lance on his farm

Summary: Keith’s plan was thrown out the window as he tumbled in the window. His foot caught on the ledge and he gasped as he practically flung himself onto the bed, landing on top of Lance and blinking at the sudden pressure of a bayard against his temple.

“Don’t shoot,” he said meekly, trying to smile at Lance, who was blinking the sleep out of his eyes.

~

A post S8 fic where Keith realizes that Lance is in need of a friend, and - being hopelessly in love with him - goes back to earth to be with him.

To Brighter Days by speaks

complete (1/1); fix-it;  lance wants to explore the universe with keith, not understanding the thought is mutual

Summary: “Lance!”

The word floats at him like a lantern through the fog, and he lifts his head to the light. He’s dreaming now, right? Handheld slowly into death by a comforting hallucination?

No. No, the owner of that voice is really here.

The shape of him is a beacon of familiarity in this upside-down hellish nightmare, and Lance is just gone enough to let himself feel saved even though he knows better. Because somehow, at the end of the world, somehow Keith Kogane is here, emerging from the smoke and the flashing lights like some kind of hero. Despite everything, despite the taste of blood between his teeth, Lance feels his lip twitch upward into a tired smile. Because of course Keith is here. Of course. Where else would he be?

~

The war ends, and Lance must take on the monumental choice of what he's going to do next with his life. The clock is ticking and even though they've won the war, it looks like Keith is STILL going to slip away from him.

That is, unless he does what he does best, and just takes the shot.

aeon by hystericalcherries

incomplete (1/5); shameless self-plug; fix-it; prophetic visions; keith begrudgingly falls in love and acts on it

Summary: Keith does not leave the quantum abyss untouched.

~

“Home can be anything, you know,” Lance says in lieu of a conversation starter.

Slivers of moonlight filter through the blinds above their heads, casting lines of truth across the sheets. Lance tilts his head forward and a band slides over his eyes, catching the ocean in them and drawing Keith into their rolling tides. And as distracted as he is, he doesn't put up a fight when a hand clasps his own, reeling them heartward.

“Home is just something you can come back to.” His knuckles brush against the soft fabric of a nightshirt, the v-neckline falling loose to reveal a sharp collarbone, and Keith feels his breath hitching. “Something that keeps you grounded.”

sunflower by xintong

incomplete (2/6); post-canon; keith confesses and lance falls hard

Summary: On the morning of their first summer back on Earth, Lance receives a gift of sunflowers. A confession, a rejection, and the passage of time, all leading to the one person who's always been there for him.

Better Not by blades_of_voltron

complete (1/1); post-canon; essentially pidge and hunk help lance realizes he loves keith

Summary: Nobody said moving on from Allura was going to be easy. Nobody said Lance had to do it alone either.

(un)spoken by hiuythn

complete (3/3); fix-it; allura lives; fuck farmer lance

Summary: And Allura says, "Honerva is dead."

~

Or, I suplex s8 into the Earth's core. No mercy.

[aziraphales-library]

hi! might be too vague of a request, but can i ask for fics that have a very "non-human" feel to them? like ones that really focus on them being supernatural/ethereal in contrast to the humans in the story

Hello! There were two obvious ways to go on this, for me: cryptid and eldrich. So here are a few of each...

Neighborly Advice for Cryptids by lucky_spike (G)

Aziraphale and Crowley have lived in London for many, many, many, many years. And they think they've done a really good job of passing as humans. They have not. And when they start showing signs of possibly leaving, with moving boxes and greater-than-usual plant movement, their very human neighbors have concerns.

Campus Cryptid by Bjurnberg (T)

No one on campus really knows what Crowley is, but they've all heard the rumors. Some say he's in the mob, others say he's a fairy, some think he's just a dick. But everyone he's helped is grateful. And everyone who's crossed him doesn't return.

I live next door to a haunted bookshop owned by an immortal cryptid bastard. AMA! by kyaticlikestea (T)

Before anyone reports this post, I got this AMA authorised by posting proof to a mod, so there.

Hi, Reddit! I’m no-one special, but about 6 months ago, I moved into a flat above a cafe next door to a bookshop, and my life has never been the same since, because the man who runs the bookshop is some sort of ageless (mostly) benevolent eldritch being. By all accounts, he hasn’t aged a day since at least 1944, sometimes he seems to have just too many eyes, and I once saw him turn water into wine (a nice rosé). His coworker / best friend / boyfriend / shadow entity is also definitely some kind of cryptid, but despite trying harder to be a bastard, he’s somehow less successful at it.

So, if you have any questions about what it’s like to live next door to an eternal bastard man, AMA!

Or, a cryptid bastard man haunts Reddit, trying to find out how to ask out his crush of the past 6,000 years and getting downvoted to literal oblivion. Just normal stuff on the world wide web.

The Truth Under Cracked Marble by hystericalcherries (G)

It starts like this: Crawley, recently fallen and a smidge bitter, catches a glimpse of heaven on Earth.

Somewhere in a field in Hampshire by 5-door Wasabi (T)

Abominations of the Mythos run on a different metaphysics to Biblical entities; they have partial immunity to things that would obliterate an average angel or demon. So even Heaven will recruit one sometimes, after centuries of vetting. But there’s no changing what you are, and sometimes, that gets H’zr aph’aal down. It’s all very well for H'aaztre, now a Duke of Hell. Hell doesn’t mind a bit of ooze.

Crowley would’ve known how to cheer Aziraphale up, of course. Hell has the best tunes, and Crowley had been a legitimate demon.

If only Crowley were here.

The Deep Hidden Things by entanglednow (T)

There is a place for Aziraphale, if he promises not to interfere.

spartona

OR: the teams reaction to Keith being Galra.Summary:"You can't just ignore this and hope it goes away."The red paladin sighs, dropping his arms, grip tightening on the towel. He's suddenly taken back to all the foster homes that changed their mind about him because of two simple words. Because of something he couldn't change, something that made their noses scrunch up and lips curl in disgust. Something that always left him alone, something he couldn't change. So, he hid. Buried things deep down so more people would like him. He could hide this, too.--

[have-a-little-laith-xx]

Hey all!

This year, I wrote a fic for the @klancepinefest called Before You Go.

I was paired with the awesome @hystericalcherries, who did a lovely art piece for the story, which can be found here.

The story can be found on the AO3 here.

Here's a sample:

The bell at the front door rings, and a new customer walks in, frowning at his phone before placing it at his ear.

What really draws Keith’s attention to the man is the phone, because that has to be the brightest (and ugliest) neon blue Otterbox he’s ever seen in his life.

There is no denying, however, that the man that’s holding the phone in the ugly blue Otterbox is gorgeous.

He’s tall and has lovely caramel skin. His hair is chestnut brown.

As he gets closer, Keith can see that his eyes are blue. His voice becomes a bit clearer and his lips curve into a small, shy smile for a brief few seconds, and—

Keith wants to see that smile play at the corners of the man’s lips again.

Okay, no, Kogane, he snaps at himself, You’re not going to thirst over some hot stranger in the café and in front of your nephew. Cut it out.

My @voltronsecretsanta2k19 gift for @hystericalcherries

...

“Tikki, spots off,” Keith sighed, immediately slumping into his bed. Three people akumitized after school and saying Keith was exhausted would be an understatement. He glanced over at his backpack he had hastily thrown into the corner of his room and thought about the stack of impending schoolwork waiting for him. Tikki looked at him and frowned.

“Keith, you need some rest. Give yourself ten minutes at least, maybe get a snack and some water too,” Tikki suggested.

“You’re right… but first I’m just gonna close my eyes for like 30 seconds.” Keith nodded, already pulling his blanket over his head.

“Um, I don’t know if that’s the best idea. Maybe do your school work first then get to sleep early?” Tikki said, but he was already long gone. She knew Keith was always such a responsible person and with how busy being a superhero has made him, Tikki felt like he needed a break.

…

Keith awoke to the sound of his alarm ringing at 6:45 a.m. and he lurched up, still in his clothes from the day before. He jumped out of bed and scrambled to change his clothes. He had 25 minutes before he needed to make it to his bus stop, so he figured he could finish at least his assignment for the morning. Keith grabbed his backpack up off the floor and a loud rip sounded through his room followed by his school things falling to the floor.

“Damnit.” Keith threw his empty bag down on the ground.

“You really shouldn’t get into the habit of swearing.” Tikki chided and Keith sent her a dirty look.

“I don’t want to hear it, Tikki. And, why didn’t you wake me up? Now I’m screwed today.” Keith complained. He scrounged around his room and found an old backpack in the back of his closet. He shoved all his school things into the worn out backpack and rushed to get his shoes on.

Getting to school was bad enough, but being at school was worse. Of course, his first hour teacher wanted them to discuss the assignment from the previous night that Keith hadn’t done. When it came to Keith’s turn to contribute, he had to admit that he hadn’t done the homework in front of the class. He felt embarrassed and his day was really not going well.

“I’m sorry Mr. Iverson, I didn’t have time to finish the worksheet,” Keith turned to the owner of the voice. Of course, he knew it was Lance but he was surprised. Keith had never seen Lance miss an assignment before. He felt kind of guilty that it made him feel better to not be the only one who hadn’t finished.

The day only got worse, it felt like the universe was against him today. Having to tell every teacher that he didn’t have his work done was so frustrating for Keith. At the end of the day, Keith found himself sitting on front steps of the school, dreading going home and having deal with more school work. He looked up when someone sat down beside him. It was Lance.

Keith had an interesting relationship with Lance. Lance was new to his school this year and they hadn’t known each other very long, but Keith felt like they clicked pretty well. Keith couldn’t deny that he like Lance… in a more than friendly way. It was embarrassing at first because Keith felt like his crush was so obvious. As they school year has gone on,  Keith felt like he had gotten better at hiding his feelings. He was too afraid to confess his feeling because he didn’t want to mess up their friendship.

“You good?” Lance asked, bumping his knee against Keith’s. Keith let out a heavy sigh.

“Bad day.” Keith shrugged.

“Wanna talk about it?” Keith shook his head with a frown.

“I’m just being dramatic, no big deal.” He said.

“Even if it’s not a ‘big deal’, it helps to talk about it. Just want you to know that I’m here, you know, if you need someone to talk to.” Lance explained. Keith leaned into Lance, resting his forehead against Lance’s shoulder.

“How do you know exactly what to say?” Keith questioned him.

“I think you’re the only person who thinks that,” Lance laughed a little, Keith felt the little shake of it in his shoulders. Keith leaned back, looking to see the soft smile on Lance’s face. For a moment, Keith forgot why he shouldn’t risk their friendship and he leaned a little closer to Lance. Was it his imagination or was Lance leaning closer too?

Of course, a loud crash sounded from the distance, pulling them apart. The pair met eyes and both stood.

“I should-”

“I’ve gotta-”

Keith was too distracted by his own need to get out of there and help hawkmoth’s newest victim. He started running in the direction of the noise, glancing back to see Lance running in the opposite direction. Keith found a good spot to stop and called for Tikki. He didn’t have time to think about what just happened with Lance, he just hoped that Lance got somewhere safe and away from the akumitized person.

Keith ran into the biggest shitshow that he’s seen yet. Cat Noir showed up a minute after him, frozen by the scene unfolding in front of them. There were more akumitized people than Keith could count and he shot a worried look to Cat Noir.

“It’s fine, we’ve got this.” Cat Noir said confidently.

Even with all the confidence in the world couldn’t have prepared Keith for this. In the end, Cat Noir and him pulled it off, but Keith was pretty sure he had a broken rib or something and Cat was limping. After the last butterfly was released, Keith was slumped against some brick building, Cat Noir next to him.

“I’m about to transform but I really don’t think I can get up right now,” Keith admitted, panicked but at that point accepting that he was screwed… again.

“My ankle is really messed up, but I can-”

“It’s fine, I guess this was inevitable.” Keith chuckled, but the situation lacked any humor. When Tikki detransforms and Keith hear Plagg, he can’t help but look over to Cat; only he finds himself face-to-face with Lance.

“Oh.” Lance gaped.

“You sound disappointed,” Keith frowned.

“Uh, actually quite the opposite,” Lance shook his head, not hesitating a moment to lean forward, back to where they left off in front of the school.

Title: Once, We Watched the Lazy World Go By

Author: AmbitiousSkychild

Artist: HystericalCherries

Post Date: April 22, 2019

Sneak Peek!

A loud slap sounded above his head, startling Lance upright.

He could see his brother Luis, still asleep in the darkness, and turned frantically over his shoulder to his window to see a tuft of dark hair outside, bounding up and down. Keith was outside his window trying to jump into view. Panicking, Lance kicked at his sheets and scrambled over onto his knees, leaning up to open his window just as Keith found something sturdy to stand on, and.

And there was Keith, standing innocently outside his window in the middle of the night with his big, dark eyes and his toothy grin and–

Lance tried not to look as lovestruck as he felt. “Keith, you can’t be here,” he whispered, and he wanted to be stern, but there was no stopping the upward tug of his own lips as he looked at him. The wind sweeping in from the woods tousled the raven locks about his face and dropped his hair into his eyes and Lance snorted.

Keith huffed, pushing his hair back. “Well, I am,” he argued with that look. The one that dared Lance to act like he didn’t want this. Lance always lost that dare. “Yeah, I see that, but–”

“Come outside,” Keith said, out of his mouth like an eruption – like he just couldn’t stop it, like it was that simple and he leaned up closer to the window on the tips of his toes like it wasn’t the cutest thing.

“No,” Lance told him with a frantic glance back to his brother, still asleep and clueless across the room. He could hear it like a reminder, like a warning, how silent his house was at the moment. How wrong and irresponsible this was. “You should go back to the castle, Keith, you’ll get caught and I–”

“Lance,” Keith interrupted softly, and there were those big, dark eyes, pulling Lance in and in like an anchor, and his bow-shaped lips dropped into that pout. “Please?” he said, and Lance was a goner.

“Stand back,” Lance said thoughtlessly, and he pretended not to notice the grin of triumph as Lance climbed slowly and carefully out of his window in his ratty pajamas.

   This is the illustration I drew for the Voltron Primary Big Bang over the summer. The Primary Big Bang was a fan event centered around the paladins of Voltron that pilot the primary colored lions Keith, Hunk, Lance, and Allura. I got to work on this companion piece to the lovely @skiewrites fic  End of the World? Why, It’s Just the Beginning. There was another piece done by @hystericalcherries Here!

   Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances I was unable to post this at the end of the bang. I loved the story so much and was so close to finishing this there was no way I could abandon this work.
