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.
May or may not have realized that I already posted some pictures so whoops ig 🤷♂️🤷♀️

Disney Gentlemen + Different ways to say “I love you”
Love you beebs
Yeet that hoe.
i love one (1) boy
MORE HEADCANONS!!! please?
You guys are lucky I have like, a mega list of these lol.
Lance sleeps like a corpse.
It was something he sort of trained himself to do, mostly because the first time he tried using a face mask at night it got everywhere and his mother nearly skinned him alive
so yeah, he’s a log, and will tend to stay in one place on the bed from dusk to dawn
Keith on the other hand, tosses and turns like the rugrat he is
He’ll wake up with his sheets halfway off the bed and his pillows thrown across the room wondering why he has a huge kink in his neck.
oh yeah, because he slept with it hanging over the edge of the bed (-_-)
Needless to say their first night sleeping in the same bed starts off great, with Lance relishing in having Keith curl up into his side like a little koala, and they both fall asleep fairly easily
but then Keith happens.
Lance wakes up in the middle of the night wondering groggily why Keith’s fucking foot is on the pillow and where the hell is his other half?!
And, Oh there it is. On the floor.
Like seriously Keith how is that even comfortable you human slinky.
so Lance hoists him back up, shifts so that Keith is on the inside of the bed facing the wall, and wraps his limbs around the boy to keep him secure
It works, for the most part, but Lance wakes up the next morning without any feeling whatsoever in his arms and legs
he doesn’t mind too much though, because goddamn Keith is really cute in the morning
Plus Keith feels super bad about waking Lance up and sort of..coddles Lance all day afterwards.
so yeah, Lance doesn’t mind at all.
Keith is really good a naming smells
Like…scary good
The team will be walking around on some weird ass planet and Keith will just, without batting an eye, drop a line like:
the air smells like wet cotton candy mixed with spit.
And the others can’t even be mad because what the fuck it actually does?!
It’s like his superpower or something, and there has yet to be an odour Keith can’t name, or at least relate to something else
K: Lance your hair smells like pine tree sap and wet dirt
L: …is that a good thing?
K: yeah.
L: Oh! Okay then!
Shiro is actually the one that asks him to stop the most
mostly because he grew up with this shit and so many things have been ruined for him
like, one time Keith said his hair gel smelled like freshly opened packaged meat, and he’s never recovered
Keith is also hella good with kids
No one really knows why, but youngsters just flock towards him
Hunk calls him the Pied Piper of Children and it would be cute if it wasn’t so goddamn true
Every planet they visit that has kids on it immediately run up to Keith, or else hold his hand or cling to his legs.
he’s just as confused as the others because I’m not even fun! I just stand here!
Lance was super jealous at first, because I have the siblings, so I should be the one who these children worship. and I’m more experienced, why do they love Keith?!
It must be the mullet.
But after they start dating Lance just finds it adorable, and has to stifle a part of him that really wants kids of his own one day each time he sees Keith bend to pick up a young’un
The others tease him relentlessly whenever they see him watching Keith interact with babies.
Lance you’re making the face again
L: What face?
The ‘I’m so madly in love with Keith’ face
L: I’m not!
He is.
Lance speaks Spanish around the castle
At first it was just for fun, singing lyrics and what not
but after having a reoccurring nightmare about never seeing his family again, he sort of does it now to try and keep his language alive
The other’s don’t really know why Lance has suddenly started speaking strictly in Spanish to Blue, but don’t question it
Keith does, because he’s curious, and Lance tells him the reason behind it
After that Keith makes an effort to learn some Spanish phrases that he surprises Lance
Lance cries.
He denies it, but he did.
Keith comforted him, and there was a lot of cuddling involved.
Lance’s favourite colour, despite popular belief, is not actually blue
It’s grey
Like the colour of thunderstorms and rain
Or waves as they lap the beach when it’s overcast out
Or Keith’s eyes in certain lighting…
Not many people know this, except Hunk and Keith, simply because it’s not something he tends to share
But Keith makes a point of beginning to collect pictures of storms and oceans from Earth specialty shops whenever they visit alien malls
Lance keeps them all pinned up by his headboard, where he’ll sit and stare at them on days when he’s feeling extra gloomy about missing Earth
And if Keith’s with him, he’ll turn off the light and just gaze into his eyes, watching as they shift from a dark indigo to a heavy grey as the shadows play with his irises
That usually doesn’t last long though, since they end up making out, both thinking god why is he so attractive! as they let their lips do the talking
Again, stopping myself here. Some of these made their way into one of my fics….
