For later y’know, when I’m in a reading mood
I’M LATE BUT HERE IT IS ENJOY <3
a) Mornings like this by sleapea / @beautifulspacegays
ramble: ooof. ooooooooooooof. oooof my man, this is so soft. this is like one of those commercials of cruisers with the couple just enjoying the life. it’s sot. it’s nice. it’s sweet. it melted my heart. it’s well written. it’s smitten keith. it’s beautiful boy lance. IT’S SMITTEN KEITH. just read it. it’s 700 of pure purest most pure fluff. kudos x 10000. (im also planning on reading the rest of their stuff soon, v v soon, like, as soon as i finish this rec)
b) you ain’t ever gonna burn my heart out by rosedvst / @etherja
ramble: motherfcuker. dkjhjfdkhgk fucking five times style but so fucking lovely to read. it’s not tiring, it’s easy to follow. not only is this like so fucking full of smitten keith and equally smitten lance, but it’s super well writing, they keep the pace, affections are not hidden or anything, they are open and clear and SHOWN. platonically and romatically. it’s so fucking lovely to read that. to see klance interactions outside each other but together??? if that makes sense. just, really fucking lovely and im also gonna read the rest of their works v v fucking soon.
c) i see through you by ShatterinSeconds / @shatterinseconds
ramble: OK okay oKA OKay. I took a risk on this one bc I usually stay away from ghosts au when one of them are, well, ghost. I’m a coward for possible angst (har har to my past as the angst empress) but the author fucking nailed it and did so fucking good and developing an entire world full of magic and the way they spread small details about Keith's job as a necromancer was incredibly well done in my humble opinion, it was so damn easy to follow and understand the job and Keith’s life in easy short sentences that were like fun facts and flew so well with the rest of the scene. like they belonged together. just, really well done. AND LANCE’S SORY HURT ME. AND THEM FALLING IN LOVE. AND ACHING FOR EACH OTHER. AND THE THE THE FUCKING ANGST MAN. IT ALMOST FUCKING GOT ME BUT BOY DID IT BROUGHT ME BACK TO LIFE THRICE BY THE END OF THE FIC. FUCK. I LOVE IT SO MUCH.
d) low on sleep by DJBunn3 / @djbunn3
ramble: it’s so domestic and somehow oddly intimate, like, it just fills you with affection between them bc damn, they might not have the same interests but like hell that stops them, they just like being near each other and that’s fucking beautiful. it’s basically just Keith watching Lance play despite being 1 am and he stays with him and Lance is just, fucking filled with love and affection for this boy. it’s really lovely and well written. hella enjoyable.
e) Gospel Future by Voido / @bluetenspleisser
ramble: listen, this is hella well written, just a joy to read and the feelings are pan out really fucking well. I loved the flow inside and how the conversation moved. I loved Lance hesitation bc that’s a real thing, it felt so natural. loved it to pieces and the author is really good. bless. it’s basically just Lance bringing the game show topic to light and venting with Keith about it. really heart felt.
f) Another chance to get it write by vrepitsals
ramble: ok let me start by saying that this author is super really good and love a lot of their stories, this one is the one that really hook me up tbh. it’s really fucking lovely to seekeith writing lvoe letter to he believes is a guy named Taylor (yall know where this is going) it was romantic, it was adorable, it was a small doze of angst but a healthy one, happy ending. just, everything was really lovely and well written and good. the second chapter really fucking killed me man, it’s such a good re read. (also that pun in the title? top A pun, love it)
g) wish that i could take you to the stars by rosedvst / @etherja
ramble: suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch a good author, really so good. kudos x 10000. and this goddamn entire concept it’s just so fucking lovely, it’s personally one of my favorite concepts i never knew i needed and i just, wow. i literally have no words but i think i fangirled with kiilea when i rec it privatly to her and i was a meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeess. again, such a good author, they ejecuted the concept of soulmates, i guess? not soulmates per se, but every time you fall in love you get flowers on your skin, like tattos, and when you fall out of love (i believe) they fade and look like scars but they are still visable. and guess who has lovely roses glowing bright on their gorgeous brown skin? lovely, i tell you. also, smitten dorks.
h) Not Mine to Love by thenakednymph
ramble: this is soooo fucking cute man, god. it’s smol but really fucking cute ok? it’s like a classic one of hurt keith and lance just caring a lot and confessions in a cliche but really warm way, ya know? like, something you just love to read over and over depsite it bc something we just need that!! def on my bookmarks.
i) but take me anywhere you like by zenstrike
ramble: i…do not know how but this author managed to do the entire fic in this warm and fuzzy and gentle wave?? like, it just surronds you. it’s klance first anniversayr and keith planned something special and honestly, it’s really warm and heartfelt and gentle and pls give it a go. it’s really good and well written and they have such a talent for atmosphere in this fic and every fic they have wrote. so talent.
j) am i scaring you tonight? by skyestiel / @tobiologist
ramble: tobi is sooooooooooooooooo good and so creative and writes so fucking well and the story is about klance first meeting and pining at the finest and them just being awakard also, ghosts and the way the narrate the events is just hhhmmmmhhhmmm so good. such an amazing author.
k) Code Word Kisses by LilyShadowWriter / @lilywritesvld
ramble: uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh. well written as fuck. its amazing and so warm and FUN!! i enjoyed this fic so damn much so please read it. and if u have READ IT AGAIN. i love with all my heart. it’s about lance kissing keith out of nowhere and keith being like I LVOE IT BUT WHAT IS HAPPENING. really fun <3
l) I’m Here Now by disastertm / @kitington
ramble: DO NOT TOUCH ME, THEY HAD NO FUCKING RIGHT TO TWIST MY HEART AT THE ENDING. Like you would think the ending is like a bonus, bcsometimes they are ok? they are bonuses, of something funny and comical or just warming ya know? BUT THIS ONE. THIS ONE BROKE ME, LIKE THEY HAD NO RIGHT TO MAKE ME FEEL THINGS ALL OVER AGAIN LIKE HOW DARE. IT’S BASICALLY KEITH’S WOLF (WHOSE NAME IF NUGGET HERE, PLS KILL ME THATS ADORABLE) HOOKING KEITH AND LANCE UP. IT’S SO PRECIOUS.
m) you are all the colors in one (at full brightness) by thespacenico / @taxashi
ramble: listen, they are a good author in general but this fic is the first i read of theirs that made me read all of their fics in one go, so yeah, believe me, it’s a goddamn lovely fucking fic.

I liked this a lot.
can i get uhhhhh secret relationship hc.... ty you're a star
they officially start dating after an argument
lance: “what’s your problem man??” keith: “my problem!?!?”
lance: ”yeah!!!!” keith: “my problem is that i can’t even look at you without this weird fluttery feeling in my stomach, my face warms up, my knees go weak, and i want to be close to you, i wanna protect you, i wanna- i wanna kiss you and-” lance passing out:
lance: “we gotta keep it a secret from the team” keith sitting in his lap, unable to stop smiling: “ok” lance: “we should *kiss* try and *kiss* throw them off” keith grinning sappily:
shiro: “oh hey guys wh……why are you in his lap” keith pretending to throttle lance: “WE’RE FIGHTING” lance screaming: “KILL ME! KILL ME YOU COWARD!!!!!”
shiro: T____T
allura behind the door: “lance?? i need to come in” lance: “ummmm just a minute!”
allura opening the door while lance pushes keith off the side of the bed with a crash and a yelp:
allura: “pidge said she’s been hearing noises” lance: “i don’t- what’s a pidge”
they keep up a game of the longest they can kiss in public without being caught
hunk with his head in yellow’s machinery: “can someone pass me a spanner” lance fumbling for the tools with one hand while keith kisses him fiercely:
shiro walking ahead: “nice work today team” lance pushing keith against the wall and muffling his giggle with rapid-fire kisses:
they pretend to drop their forks at the table so they can bend down and kiss
hunk: “hey. isn’t that alien girl hot?” lance: “i suppose. i guess. maybe. to some”
hunk: “go ask her out” keith bristling:
lance: “or i could ask her why misogyny and poor scientific technique prevented the remains of amelia earheart being found for almost 80 years at great personal cost to society and the people who cared for her”
keith lying on the couch: “hey” lance: “what’s up??” keith playing with lance’s hoodie-strings: “i’m not good with words but- i really like you. like really really” lance kissing his nose, eyes softening: “you’re my whole universe keith”
coran poking his head over the couch while they scream: “oh??? are we quiznakking????”
allura cornering keith in the hallway: “why have i seen you coming out of lance’s room at 6am?” keith: “i- why are you up at 6am” allura: “it is fairly common knowledge on this forsaken ship that i wake up at 5am to dance to my german pop choreography”
pidge: “hey did i just see you put your arm around keith’s waist or do i need new glasses” lance: “you can’t grow or see it seems”
shiro: “what’s that bruise on your neck?? you ok?” keith smiling: “it’s nothing” shiro, glassy-eyed fish stare as it all clicks into place:
allura: “why didn’t you guys tell us?!” shiro: “you didn’t have to keep it a secret!!!!” pidge: “can someone please make them stop eating each other’s faces right on the dining table”
hunk, popping gum in the background: “a secret? tch. hunky hunk realised on the very first day” pidge: “that’s unfair” hunk: “take a fuckin sip babes”
Need me some money
a lump sum of money is on the way to you
I want to watch this over and over for the rest of time
Congrats Shiro!
Those two love the more kinda simple dates. Like movie theatre dates, then going out for dinner, and just walking around while they hold hands.
Lance has this scarf he stole from Keith and he wears it all the time
Keith: “babe, why do you have to wear that scarf? It seriously doesn’t even go with the outfit your wearing.” Lance: “so what? Let me wear it.” As he sticks his tongue out at him
Keith also got them each kind of matching rings that they wear every single day cause 1. YOI and 2. Cause he thought it was nice
He also got them these two little matching magnets because “even if they ever broke up or if they were far apart, they’d always be able to find each other”
Keith thought it was kinda cheesy but lance is a slut for cheesy stuff
While Keith gets the deep gifts, lance gets Keith stuff like a rainbow knife or a Deadpool key chain cause Keith loves Deadpool
They also compare themselves a lot to other characters they ship
Keith is Deadpool while Lance is Spider-Man. Keith is Yuri while Lance is Victor. Etc.
Lance is a huge hugger but Keith’s kinda the jealous type
Lance: *hugging hunk* Keith: *clearly mad, next to pidge* I’m telling you! He loves everyone except for me
Oh! Keith also loves going to visit Lance’s family even though they kinda do scare him a little bit.
He just isn’t used to having that many people around him, but he loves the energy and hearing lance speak Spanish to his family even if he has no idea what they’re saying
They kind of mess around with Keith a lot and target him. Lance’s sister: “Keith! Okay so if you want to say ‘I’m hungry’ you say ‘Ay papito dámelo’” and Keith of course tries saying it
Lance and everyone laugh at him while Keith is confused and lance tells him it means “daddy give it to me”
Keith blushes really hard but Lance thinks it’s adorable and Keith knows he’s loved in the household. They just like to have their harmless fun
Keith also loves taking care of Lance’s nieces and nephews.
He’ll gladly shower then or feed them whenever it’s needed because there’s always so much going around when they visit Lance’s family
Honestly, it makes him think about how he’d love to have children with Lance someday
Lance has thought about it too while he saw Keith singing his niece to sleep
-lance promposes to keith by asking an elaborate scavenger hunt involving all of their friends and secret letters with clues
at first keith is kind of complacent but then he gets into it
keith: HI YES, “THE GREEN ONE”? ITS YOU PIDGE. IT IS YOU. I KNEW IT.
pidge: yeah alright just take the card
“here ye, here ye/love of mine/ take this card/ and think malign/ his hair his white /just like his culture/ go get this card/ from this coy vulture”
keith: ITSDFJFCUKING LOTOR SDJFDF BYE
-lance pulls out all the stops even though keith explicitly says not to
lance: you don’t even want a corsage?
keith: no lance, you don’t have to do that
lance: [gets him a huge bouquet of lilies]
keith:
lance: what?
lance: YOU SAID NO CORSAGE
-lance picks keith up in a limo (keith is mad) but his annoyance turns into a blush when lance starts screaming when he sees him walk out of his house
lance: HOT DAMN HOT DAMN WOOOOOOOOO WOOOO THAT IS MY BOY, THAT IS MY MANS!
keith: lance, stop
lance: YOU DIDNT HAVE TO LOOK SO CUTE THOUGH?
-lance wears a red shirt and keith wears a blue one under fitting black sport coats, both of them have purple flowers pinned to their pockets
-shiro starts crying when he’s taking their picture
keith: shiro
shiro: iM SORRY
keith: just take the photo
shiro: IDONT KNOW HOW
-they show up ten minutes late because shiro literally can’t work an iphone
-coran is a chaperone
coran: lance! are you wearing gold eyeliner?
lance: congratulations coran you noticed before my boyfriend
keith: i didn’t even know eyeliner came in gold
-they literally cant take serious prom photos because they start snickering every time which turns into a fit of laughter because they’re 5 years old
the photographer, kolivan, is not impressed
keith: this one looks okay….
lance: your head is buried in my shoulder
keith:….its cute
lance: i cant see your face. that literally could be anyone
-the theme is space (because what are we, animals?), allura runs the prom-planning committee with her girlfriend nyma
nyma: can we make a banner or that says “this is a gays event only”
allura:
allura: no
nyma: you thought about it for a second there
-they decorate the entire ceiling with little glowing stars and when keith and lance go out onto the dancefloor, lance looks up and notices.
he gasps and keith looks at him, following his vision and then drawing it back down to his face so he can lose himself in the wonder of lance’s eyes and the softness of his expression
lance, looking down: what?
keith: nothing
lance: okay
keith: you’re just so beautiful
lance: [grabs his face and kisses him hard]
-they are crowned prom kings even though they didn’t sign up
allura: i might have nominated you
lance: well that’s just unfair because no one else could ever win against us
and they couldn’t
(acxa and ezor pretend not to be mad)
-lotor offers them his flask and keith hits it out of his hand
keith: nice try satan, i want to remember this night forfuckingever
-they play “the time of my life” and lance gets up on the stage and does an entire lip-syncing performance
keith: thats my boyfriend
hunk: are you surprised
(acxa: are you sure he’s not drunk?)
-when it ends, they’re too tired to go to an after party but not tired enough to go home, so allura, nyma, shay, and hunk all pile into keith and lance’s limo and they tell their driver, slav, to pick up pidge and shiro
nyma: get in losers we’re getting ice cream
-they go to dairy queen and strut in like fucking models, ordering one of those huge ice cream pizzas
pidge: i feel underdressed
shiro: im just happy you kids invited me out with you!
keith: you’re 26 stop talking like you’re 90
-they drop everyone off and when it’s just keith and lance, keith falls asleep on lance’s shoulder in the limo
lance takes off his crown and kisses his hair, whispering “i love you”
keith wraps his arms around lance’s waist and kisses his chest, snuggling into it
Fun fact, people often unconsciously mimic the person they're thinking about most... hmm
Keith and Lance mirror each other so often and it’s the cutest thing
she’s beauty she’s grace she’s in love with aliens and space
