hello, i'm sending an ask to see if i can locate a klance fanfic that i read a super duper long time ago when i was more active in the fanbase (like.....pre-2018.......). i remember specifically in it that keith is rumored by local townsfolk to have washed up from the ocean (but not directly stated to be anything like a mermaid, just apparently human except for his strange origins) and he meets lance shortly afterwards? and because keith's really got nothing to his name, i remember an oddly specific scene where he's trying lance's shirts on and they're all a little too small for him. the prose was really beautiful and unique which is why i suddenly thought of it! if you've got no clue that's OK, i recognize that this is a hard ask LMAO thank you for keeping the flame of voltron alive 💪💪💪
omg wait this sounds so interesting maybe i will read this tonight if i can find it??? it sounds like aquamarine x vld and im HERE FOR IT!!!!
sometimes i forget how hard it is to find specific fics from pre-2020 bc for some reason we all stopped using "!" to distinguish our AUs and now im no longer well-versed in this ancient language...
anyways i couldnt find it LMAOOOO i have a feeling its weirdly tagged but anyways if this sounds familiar to anyone please send it in <3333

i have impeccable taste and 29 bookmarks and i really recommend Poor Boys and Pilgrims by SirCumference on ao3. it's a gorgeous fic in which Keith sees him and Lance together in each of the three realities he gets glimpses of during his time in the whale.
dawg how did you know this is my exact niche of klance fanfic that i enjoy and i hope everyone else will enjoy

summary: [ Keith doesn’t believe in fate. He doesn’t believe things happen for a reason, or that there is meaning to be found in every bad thing that’s happened to him. He also doesn’t believe he’ll ever be with Lance. But as he drifts through the abyss on the back of a space whale, he catches glimpses of other realities where he and his friend are inextricably tied despite forces beyond their control promising to tear them apart. 
Lance is sometimes a telepathic merman, sometimes a patron at a coffee shop, and sometimes an android serving a year-long sentence for pissing the wrong people off. Keith might be a sailor, or a barista, or a professional smuggler struggling to make ends meet. It’s fucking weird, honestly, but so is living in the Quantum Abyss. Keith tries not to let it get to him. It still does, though. He wonders how he could ever get over someone when he’s forced to watch himself fall in love with them over and over again. ]

summary: [ A sigh heaves out of Lance’s mouth and he props his elbows onto the counter before dropping his forehead into his hands. “Romelle. Bartender. We’ve been on the same shift for over a year.”
The bartender doesn’t say anything, contemplating. “Oh, she quit.”
“She quit?” Lance repeats, peeling his head from his hands and squinting at the bartender.
Now that they’re closer, Lance can see that there’s a faint scar on the bartender’s otherwise unmarred face, running from his jawline to the right side of his nose. His eyes are, like, forty different colors and Lance cannot tell for the life of him which one takes the lead, so he decides on a blackish-purple. They hide behind thick lashes and offer a no-nonsense look. “Yup. Quit two weeks ago. Don’t you work here? Why are you sitting at my bar?”
or, lance works at the san antonio riverwalk margaritaville as a waiter. during a horrible shift, he sits down at the bar expecting romelle, only to find she’s quit and someone new and beautiful has taken her place. ]
why i am ripping my hair out: what if i told you i am absolutely obsessed with margaritaville and the closest one to me is two hours away.. what if i told you that no matter your distance to the nearest margaritaville, you could experience those awe striking moments all over again from the comfort of your own home -- thats right, your own home!!!!
this fic is everything i love and enjoy in life, klance and margaritaville. im so serious. i went to margaritaville for the first time for my birthday and just thought about klance while i was there and also got drunk and dropped my phone in the toilet, but thats besides the point.
i have had this in my to rec bookmarks since it was written but ive been too busy to post and my retched formatting makes it difficult to rec on the go but anyways im back shout out margaritaville i absolutely adore this fic and it put me onto soulreapin shout out soulreapin if you read this i am subscribed

chapters as of december 11, 2023: [1/1]
summary: [ Lance feels a little jarred when he sees nothing friendly in the suitemate’s eyes, and then foolish. He scrambles to find something to say. “Do you have any rules?" Keith’s eyes darken. “Yeah. Don’t bother me this semester. Or ever.”
-- Accident-prone Lance McClain learns that his grumpy suitemate, Keith, has one rule: to leave him alone. Lance would really like to follow that rule. Really. But his clumsiness has other plans.
(Or, 5 times Lance bothers Keith and 1 time Keith lets him.) ]
why i am ripping my hair out: heheheheh this fic is everything, it's so cute, it makes me regret my uni dorm style bc now i want a vague passive aggressive suitemate who i literally trip and fall over, and it just makes me giggle and twirl my hair and kick my feet i loved this heheheeehe

Hi!! Im looking for this klance soulmate fic on a03 where whatever they write on their skin it appears on the other and in this story keith tries avoiding writing on his skin and lance doesnt know about the soulmate thing so he does write on his skin (a grocery list i believe). Anyways, matt ends up drawing a d!ck on keith while he's asleep and lance ends up seeing it and gets mad at pidge (poor pidge it aint them) for drawing on him as he tries (and fails) to get it off. Until, he sees it blur off his skin and lance, hunk, n pidge end up freaking out bcuz they think its a ghost. Keith feels bad and writes im sorry on his skin as an apology and yeah. Theres also a scene where keith draws a pretty picture on his thigh with watercolor pencils for lance as a goodluck charm for his swim comp (this is later in the fic tho). I know its multiple chapters and its completed. Im an idiot and didnt bookmark it yrs ago and ive been trying for DAYS to find it again. Thank uuu if you DO end up finding it!! or thx anyways for trying haha !!
hii!! found it :) i remember reading this when it first came out so this was a THROWBACK i found it in the depths of my ao3 history hahah

summary: [ Keith is your typical troubled kid who's just trying to sort his life out. Things aren't perfect, but he's attending night school to get enough credits for university, he loves hanging out with Shiro and Matt on the weekends, and he's prepped to be the youngest member of his martial arts club to get his second Dan black belt. Things are looking up for Keith!
That is until strange notes start to appear on his arm.
They don't come off. At least, not when Keith tries to remove them. And they're written in handwriting that Keith knows isn't his.
So where are they coming from? ]

summary: [ The Wastes are all Keith has ever known.
For nineteen years, the arid desert is all he's seen of the world; his only reprieve from monotonous existence being his father's fantastical tales of heroic deeds and perilous battles among the stars. He can't help but feel drawn to those stars—their beckoning voices a constant tickle in the back of his mind. He dreams of following their call to adventure, but as the years pass, dreams dwindle and concede to obligation. What were once fantasies of purpose and fulfillment wither away entirely, and Keith has officially resined himself to a life of empty nothingness.
Until one day, fate literally comes crashing into Keith's life, and he is swept up into an epic tale of his own.
Alternatively: The Treasure Planet au you didn't know you needed ;) ]

Hi! I’m trying to find a klance fic that I read a long time ago. It was an au where Lance played basketball and went to college and Keith was some rich people’s adopted son who wanted to be a mechanic. The college with the basketball team was called Altea College I think. Shiro and Allura were together. It was definitely a long fic, probably around 100,000 words. It was explicit. At some point Lance is consoling Keith and he says “Sometimes the way we feel just doesn’t line up. But it doesn’t mean you’re not enough.” I remember because I wrote it down lol
Could you help me find it? I’m desperate 😭😭😭
hello my lovely!! there’s no way that this is not the fic LMAOOOO i filtered for rich keith (voltron) and basketball and there it was lol i will be adding this to my to read list ENJOY!!

aka a Friends w/ Benefits AU that nobody asked for where Lance wears sleeveless hoodies, plays basketball in abandoned parking lots, and follows his dreams, and Keith comes from a high class, reputable family who never let him have any dreams of his own. They go home with each other and don't expect it to matter until it totally does.

I’ve been searching for this one fic forever. Basically either Keith or lance (more likely lance) is injured and in a healing pod, then has an extensive and detailed dream where he wakes up and develops a romantic relationship with the other. Near the end he wakes up for real and nothing in the dream happened. No actual sex shown, but they come close to it like in a closet or something. Any chance you could find it?
i tried super hard but i wasn’t able to find it!! if anyone knows about this fic, please send it in <3
in the meantime, i found a fic that sounded similar to this but it’s much more angsty and didn’t really have the dream inside of a dream aspect that you mentioned - ghost of a king by ashinan

summary: [ “This situation is a bit more complicated than we initially realized.”
Lance raises an eyebrow, but Pidge is the one to question that. “Define complicated.”
Allura takes no more time beating around the bush, “Well, I received a transmission. Keith and Lance--from the future, that is--would like to have their daughter back."
or: Lance and Keith deal with a walking spoiler, in the form of a little girl who just wants to get back to her own home. ]
why i am ripping my hair out: i've been meaning to rec this fic and i finally checked my asks so sorry if this was late but LMAO this fic is so cute and i love how the team takes care of their kid together to help them out it's always so cute LOL

summary: [ Anathematized after a poor interaction with time-traveling aliens, Lance finds he has the ability to rewind time. Despite its limitations, Lance uses the power to the team’s advantage, both in war and to mess with his friends.
Then he realizes he can confess his feelings to Keith with impunity.
There’s only one problem: the parting words of the aliens who cursed him. His death is prophesied, and not even they know the details of his future. So Lance decides to make the best of what little time he has left.
If that means he spends every waking moment showing Keith his love, before reverting time over and over again so Keith won’t remember it, then so be it. Even if that means he’ll die without Keith knowing how he feels.
Except, there’s one contingency Lance didn’t consider… ]
why i am ripping my hair out: BOY DO I HAVE SOME SCREAMING FOR YALLLLLLL!!!! so we’ve concluded so far that i love time/dimensional travel fics right? this one hurts more than and i will find you </3 ik shocker,, SO MUCH ANGST + it’s very reminiscent of life is strange (especially chaps. 6 & 7) which is always a good thing,, anyways i have some specific moments i’d like to mention, so mild spoilers, nothing revealin plot though, i just say ouch a lot:
1. when theyre gaming and lance slips up and goes “,,,,,,,,, uhhhhhh” AND KEITH IS LIKE “YOU LITTLE SHIT -” AND THEN LANCE CUTS HIM OFF BY REWINDING AHAHAASGD THAT WAS SO FUNNY
2. brief pain intermission: chapters 3, 6 and 7. OUCH. HOLY SHIT.
3. rewind in chap 8……… ouch.
4. LANCE FLIRTING WITH KEITH IN THE STUPIDEST WAYS, KEITH BEING OBLIVIOUS, LANCE REWINDING.
ok im done now i love this fic and will continue to scream as chapters roll out.
