♢ A Haircut and a Real Job » • ❤

The Paladins get a day off. Shiro gets a haircut. Keith really likes it.

-

♢ A Pair of Kings »

After some initial reluctance, Shiro finds that his husband wants to share his bed for the first time. Shiro wants to make sure it's done properly.

-

♢ A River of Light Between » • ❤

After crash landing on an unfamiliar planet, Keith and Shiro venture out to collect needed supplies for the castle. When they meet the local inhabitants, some confusion results.

-

♢ according to protocol » • ❤

“PDA in uniform can result in a demerit of fifty to a hundred points,” Shiro murmurs.

“Good thing we’re not in public, then,” Keith mutters hoarsely.

-

♢ All the Things Money Can't Buy » • ❤

Keith just needs a little help with the rent; Shiro's just a little lonely. This is just a brief, mutually beneficial financial arrangement, that's all. Really.

• If he were the melodramatic type, he'd be asking himself how he'd gotten himself into this mess, but Keith is too pragmatic for that. He knows exactly how he got to this place: it's called having a short temper and no patience for bullshit, which make for a really bad combination with an asshole boss who never liked him to begin with, even before Keith had called him out for playing favorites with the other clerks.

-

♢ At the Beginning »

It’s the first thing parents are supposed to teach their children: that the words mean nothing, that the marks don’t mean there is a match for you. The universe is cruel and cold, and plenty of people never meet the one whose writing is emblazoned on their skin.

Keith doesn't believe in soulmates, no matter what his skin says.

A soulmate AU where the words on your skin aren't always the first words you hear from your soulmate. Sometimes it takes time.

-

♢ Believe Me, For a Little While » • ❤

Keith wakes up because a giant dog is licking his face.

-

♢ Brand New Moves »

Did Keith want to reward him, or punish him? He’s starting to feel like it’s a little bit of both.

-

♢ break these walls down and come on in » • ❤

After the fight, Keith recovers in the hospital, talks to the Paladins and receives a special visit.

• Keith does that then, finds his gaze in the dimly lit room, faces the emotions swirling in his brown eyes head on. “I’m not going anywhere, Shiro.” He promises, reaching out for his hand again and Shiro takes it firmly. “You should know that even death can’t separate us."
• “God, please, no,” he breathes and brings their joined hands to his forehead. “Please, I don’t want to test that theory and risk losing you for good.”
• “Shiro,” he’s trembling, both of them are actually, and Keith wets his lips with his tongue but it doesn’t help. “I’ll never leave you for as long as I live.”

-

♢ Breaking the Rules » • ❤

Keith knew that his money could bring in some money. He knew that if he did camshow's he could rake in some easy dough. And it worked.

But there's always one donor who always went above and beyond just a couple of bucks: Black Lion.

-

♢ build a house around you » • ❤

Shiro pines, Keith paints, and of course—they were roommates.

• He's quiet. You'll like him.
• Keith is at least thirty things at first glance and none of them are quiet—but the worst part is that Shiro recognizes him, and evidently so does Keith. The boy from the art show.
• “You…” Keith’s eyes—his blue, blue eyes—go wide and then slide to the space behind Shiro where the first painting he bought is hanging. Shiro wonders if he likes it any better now than he did the first time. “You…” he repeats, but trails off.

-

♢ Caught in the Tide » • ❤

Keith's starting a new job; night guard at a seaside research facility. During introduction, him and the other two new recruits are taken around and shown all the facility's creatures, including the only merman ever taken alive, who seems awfully friendly considering the warnings they're getting about how aggressive he is.

-

♢ Cross My Heart »

An important mission leads to Keith getting an unanticipated makeover.

-

♢ Darling, My Heart Was Always Yours » • ❤

In a little over twenty-four hours, Shiro goes from downright miserable to the happiest—and luckiest—man alive (hell, maybe even when he counts those that are dead).

The one thing that makes all the difference? Keith.

-

♢ Deserted » • ❤

“So, did you figure out this was a date yet?”

-

♢ distance and the time between us » •

If Keith had known that an impromptu dance party was the much needed catalyst concerning his and Shiro's non-relationship, he'd have signed himself up for one a long time ago.

Alternatively: in which people get drunk, dance, and confess for the second time.

-

♢ done with solitude » • ❤

The first time he sleeps with another cadet, it’s nothing but an encounter. A momentary lapse. But it makes everything go away, if only for a little while.

So he does it again. And again.

-

♢ for what binds us » • ❤

This is who you are, Lupa had told him during his first medal ceremony, nose nudging the fist clenched at his side. Own it. Let them stare.

And people do. It’s impossible not to stare at Lupa, with the proud tilt of her head, that fierce canine intelligence and the way her black fur catches the light. Shiro’s loved her all his life, and the day she settled was one of his happiest moments.

He just wishes that it didn’t always feel like when people look at him, they’re seeing only his daemon.

-

♢ for your reference »

Drunk editor seeks to inspire creativity and ideas in the reluctant author using any means necessary.

-

♢ forget about this map » • ❤

In which everyone has a crush on Space Dad, and some handle it better than others.

-

♢ Frustration »

What they once had, they don't anymore. Keith still wants it.

-

♢ Glory » • ❤

Shiro tries to find ways of coping with his growing depression and plummeting levels of self-worth that are made all the worse by his sexual and romantic inexperience. He finds himself self-medicating in a certain… establishment.

-

♢ I get a shiver from broken hearts » • ❤

The first time, Shiro pushed him away with a firm hand to the chest, Keith just barely tasting his lips.

“We can’t,” he said, regret heavy in his voice.

-

♢ I See Constellations In Your Eyes » • ❤

Those who do leave have a 50/50 chance of coming back and only the lucky ones are never heard from again.

God does Shiro hope to be one of them. The only thing he looks forward to is the fair that comes around once a year and he has meticulously saved up his money to blow it off on clearly rigged games.

Until today.

-

♢ i'd get lost in space with you » • ❤

Keith never expected to fall so hard for someone as he did Shiro. He never expected to find support in someone they way he did in Shiro.

He never expected to lose someone like he lost Shiro.

-

♢ in the nook of a cousin universe »

It was hard because you were so far away.

On a distant rock floating through space, Keith waits for the first comet to strike.

On Earth, Takashi Shirogane angles the rocket toward the sky.

-

♢ ineffable »

ineffable - adj. too great or extreme to be expressed or described in words.

-

♢ it's not a star I see (it's always you) » • ❤

in which both Keith and Shiro are stuck with birthdays on dates they don't like. Meeting each other makes it more than just a bit better.

-

♢ lie to tell the truth » • ❤

• “What do I need to do to keep Varlan from spending this whole summit hitting on me?” Shiro asks. “Because honestly, twenty minutes of that was more than enough for a lifetime.”
• “The easiest solution is for the two of you to keep acting like you’re together. It should keep him mostly at bay," Allura says.
• Shiro takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. “You want us to pretend we’re dating for the entirety of the summit?”
• He sees Keith’s shoulders stiffen out of the corner of his eye.
• “Won’t hurt anything,” Lance chimes in. “You’re both chronically single so you won’t be stomping on anyone’s feelings except this Varlan guy, and it sounds like he deserves it, if you ask me.”
• Sure, pretending to date the love of his life won’t hurt anyone, Shiro thinks wildly. Absolutely nothing could go wrong here.

or; Shiro claims to be in a relationship with Keith to avoid a pushy alien diplomat, fully aware that he is hopelessly in love with Keith and missed his chance to do anything about it years ago. Surely having a small taste of his dreams, in the form of a fake relationship, won't do any harm.

-

♢ Like Crystal Guts » • ❤

Keith uses an app in order to find sugar daddies, but when one of his patrons sticks out, he finds himself negotiating with the idea that 'falling in love isn't always selling out.'

-

♢ love, without the plummet » • ❤

The reveal of Keith's Galra heritage hits him hard and leaves him wondering if Shiro will hate him. Shiro gladly reassures Keith that isn't the case, in multiple ways.

-

♢ Loved the Stars too Fondly » • ❤

Keith fell in love with the stars in the sky and the stars on his arms.

A soulmate AU where whatever you write on your body appears on your soulmate's.

-

♢ Lovefool » Alternatively titled, Let's Talk About Sex

Shiro agrees to be Keith's b.u.d.d.y. after a drunken fling. It's a terrible idea, having relations with someone you have feelings for. Keith drags him straight to hell.

-

♢ Made of Nebulas and Novas » • ❤

• While on their journey back to Earth, the lions get hit by a blinding light that leaves them unaffected-- except for one very specific, unavoidable thing.
• “Pidge, get eyes on Shiro now,” he commands, his voice hitching up an octave in his distress.
• Once she does, maybe Keith should have expected that Shiro would suddenly be younger, too. On Pidge’s shaking screen is a young boy with soft, floppy black hair falling into his eyes. He’s tugging at the glove of his paladin suit, a blanket at his feet from where he’s taken a sudden tumble. He looks up when the door opens and he turns his head, blinking up at Pidge, looking dazed, confused, and a little guarded.
• It's Shiro, just over a decade or so younger.

-

♢ Man's Bestfriend » • ❤

Shiro and Keith take in an alien puppy to soothe Shiro's nerves, but all she does is get on Keith's.

-

♢ message received » • ❤

Mailman Shiro finds sparks of happiness in a particular resident's mailbox. Coworker Sendy lowkey ships it.

-

♢ micro storm » • ❤

They get Hunk and Lance because, during the interviews, Hunk had talked about his best friend Lance and Lance had talked about his best friend Hunk. Shiro and Keith had looked at each other and, without any words spoken, they had known that they wanted to adopt both.

They get Pidge because, around that same time, Shiro's best friend Matt and his wife are killed in a hit and run.

-

♢ My Favorite Tune Is the One That Sounds Like Me and You » • ❤

The Castle of Lions malfunctions again. Fortunately, the results are much less sinister this time around.

(Honestly, Keith preferred the murder attempts.)

-

♢ Not Kitten Around »

While Keith is grateful for the friends he's made in his new apartment complex, a kid and a cat were not what he hoped. An adult relationship would be nice, too.

He gets one, courtesy of the kid and the cat.

-

♢ oh how I miss the bright sun »

"Keith’s entire body thrummed with life and heat and energy, and it was always thrilling for Shiro to have him so pliant under his palms, so relaxed and soft in his arms. He would never get used to the feeling that Keith was all his and he was similarly bound to the younger cadet in return. Love was a fascinating mystery, but if it was always as meaningful as the feeling of Keith in his arms, Keith’s lips on his own, on his skin, Keith’s hands in his own, he knew he would never lose it, that it would never fade from his heart."

In which Shiro leaves and returns, and learns and relearns Keith's body as many times as needed.

-

♢ one way ticket to another life » • ❤

It was whispered by the humans, by the deities, that the god of death was a horror; selfish and cruel, and emblematic of all that lives beneath the earth, of faded morality and the cold claws of cruelty.

One might say that Keith considered the god of death to be an angel

-

♢ Out of Order » • ❤

Shiro, instructor at Galaxy Garrison, thinks there's something up with that cadet Keith. He seems nervous, all the time. He asks his best friend for advice. Matt is full of helpful advice. That may or may not lead to the complete destruction of the Galaxy Garrison shower system.

-

♢ Out of the Cold »

Shiro brings Keith back home to meet his parents.

-

♢ Papa Don't Preach »

In which grateful aliens sex pollen Keith and Shiro, and Keith gets knocked up.

-

♢ region of the summer stars » • ❤

Shiro's life revolves around his job and his team and occasionally dealing with his trauma. The young man who was dumped onto his doorstep is a new development.

-

♢ Sail Across the Sky Just to Get to You » • ❤

• “You’re so important to me,” Shiro says. He looks at Keith, as if waiting for the response.
• “Yeah,” Keith says. “You’re important to me, too, Shiro.”
• “Yeah?” Shiro whispers, and Keith can’t place the tone, or the reason why he should look so relieved following Keith’s statement.
• “Of course,” Keith tells him.

Or: The one where Shiro and Keith start dating, but Keith doesn't know that.

-

♢ say you will » • ❤

Keith is determined to be the most supportive best friend that Shiro’s ever had—even if that means helping Shiro plan his marriage proposal to someone else.

-

♢ See Me Running, From You, To You, From You » • ❤

Shiro is sixteen when his mother remarries and he meets his new step-brother. He already has a brother, so he thinks he knows what to expect, but Keith is nothing like Ryou and it's less like getting a new sibling and more like a roommate.

-

♢ Show Me What You're Working With » • ❤

Shiro wasn't the type to go out for his birthday. He much preferred a quiet evening in on any occasion. But Matt seemed determined that he was going to go out and he was going to enjoy it. Which apparently meant alcohol and exotic dancers. Shiro contented himself with the idea that at least his friends would enjoy themselves for the evening. At least, until a certain all too familiar dancer catches his eye. (Exactly what it says on the tin, folks. Stripper/Exotic Dancer Keith.)

-

♢ Shutter Click » • ❤

Keith, a nature photographer that really needs the money, agrees to be the photographer at a friend of a friend's wedding. Too bad he kind of likes the groom.

-

♢ slowly dying to make it through » • ❤

• But Shiro doesn’t bring the sun, because that’s Keith. Keith is the one who brings warmth, hidden in the gentleness of his eyes and the curve of his cheekbones. The slope of his smile sets Shiro on fire.
• Shiro doesn’t do that. Shiro brings clouds and shadows and rain that’s so fucking cold it seeps into his bones every day and turns them to ice, and it feels like he’s always just one misstep away from shattering against the ground.
• God, how he wants to shatter.

In which Shiro and Keith come home from the war and help each other rebuild. Picks up right after Season 7.

-

♢ Someone New »

• "Are you alright?" Keith asks, when Shiro flops down beside him on his porch, one sunny and boring Tuesday afternoon.
• “Ashleigh’s getting married this weekend,” Shiro says. “And I promised I’d go.”
• “Uh,” Keith says, “Who?”
• “Ashleigh Watson,” Shiro says, shifting a little to look up at Keith from where he’s still slumped against Keith’s shoulder. “Adam’s sister?”
• Keith should have known that it was only going to go downhill from there.

Or: The one where Keith and Shiro decide that pretending to be dating at Shiro's ex's sister's wedding is the best idea ever. (It isn't.)

-

♢ sucker love » • ❤

Shiro is good at adapting. It's a skill born out of necessity; first to get him into a coveted space program, then to get him to the moon, then to save his life in a brutal blood bath, rounding out nicely with the mantle of being a defender of the known universe. It's been honed over time, sharp like a knife, glinting in the dark.

But it falls apart when he has Keith in his arms because this — he doesn't know what this is.

-

♢ talk your shadow into starlight » • ❤

Above him, the stars are still distant and cold, a tangible proof of the indifference of the universe. Beside him, Shiro is just out of arm’s reach, radiating warmth.

(Or: five times Shiro and Keith looked at the stars, and one time they did more than that.)

-

♢ The Adventures of Pidge and Space-Dad » • ❤

basically pining shiro with ultimate wingman pidge. This is my second attempt writing fanfiction of any kind so have mercy on my trash soul.

-

♢ The Arrangement »

An incomplete Voltron team is saved by the Marmora when one of its members proves to be the only pilot the Red Lion will accept. Tradition dictates that for an alliance to be formed, two parties of equal standing marry and Shiro winds up taking the hit for the team.

It might not be so bad, if only Shiro could figure out if his new alien spouse really wanted him for a husband.

-

♢ The beautiful marks »

The marks appear when you touch your soulmate's skin.

-

♢ The Boyfriend Discourse » • ❤

Five times Keith got angry because people thought Shiro was a lot older than he really was and the one time Shiro did.

-

♢ ticket to ride »

Keith works at a ticket booth in the city’s central metro station. Shiro’s a businessman that’s absolutely terrible at directions.

-

♢ til the stars didn't recognize me » • ❤

They had only had two nights together. The universe was determined to keep them apart.

Or, a space pirate captain meets a long-mourning Paladin of Voltron.

-

♢ tonight i can write the saddest lines » • ❤

so if you love me, why'd you let me go?

Keith meets Shiro on a Friday, and everything unravels from there.

-

♢ Too Much, Gone Too Fast » • ❤

The entire length of Keith and Shiro’s relationship before Kerberos. Alternative, how many sex scenes " can I fit in 19k words.

-

♢ The universe is such a lonely place (without you) »

Keith comes out, and Lance decides it’s time to step up as a wingman.

-

♢ the whole town's sleeping » • ❤

Of inevitability and stars.

Alternatively, how Keith and Shiro come together.

-

♢ Two Heartbeats »

“You’re avoiding the team, avoiding me. Is there something between us that I’m not aware of?” He says, and for a moment, Keith spares a casual glance downward to his stomach and back up at Shiro.

Fluffy Sheith mpreg AU because I have no self-control.

-

♢ We Were Meant to See This Through »

• “Well, what about you? You’ve done this before?” Keith asks. He braces himself for that inevitable feeling of jealousy. But Shiro just blushes.
• “I, uh… haven’t,” Shiro admits.

-

♢ we were shotgun lovers » • ❤

Keith knows the deal. A lot of people his age who leave the system end up back in even at 18, 19, 20 just because they can't adjust. He doesn't want to be another statistic. His literal one bag was packed and ready to go day of his birthday.

-

♡ we're on the road to messy » • ❤

LATER, after Shiro’s found his way back to Keith yet unsure of how to move forward, he’ll be told how Keith spent countless hours holed up in Shiro’s old quarters that he’d picked the lock to get into, poring over blueprints and notes and digital images, unwilling to accept or admit defeat.

NOW, Shiro hasn’t even found his way there yet.

-

♢ you brought fire to a world so cold » ❤

There’s a lot of rumor and hearsay surrounding their agency’s rising star, who ranks second only to Shiro in terms of popularity. Some of it matches up to the sharp, cutting image Keith presents in his pictures. But that’s what it is in the end, an image. Part of their work involves cultivating a certain image that appeals to a targeted market in order to generate more sales. So just because Keith presents the image of an attractive asshole who’ll cut you down with a single remark doesn’t mean that’s who he is off camera.

-

♢ Young, and in Fields »

Or: 5 times someone caught Shiro napping on Keith, and one time no one saw Keith sleeping on Shiro. [pre-s2]
