College

Klance AU month ‘23 day 8

“Uno, Mullet. Suck it.”

Scowling, Keith almost crunches the multitude of cards in his hands while Lance laughs. Keith should have known better than to play Uno with Lance, who has become an expert from battling his siblings when they were all younger.

“Mm, did you really think you would win?” Lance grins, too smug for only winning a simple round of Uno. He props up his chin in his hand, staring at Keith fuming.

“I almost had you if you didn’t put down that stupid card.”

“That sounds like sore loser talk,” Lance teases him. “And I think my prize was a kiss?” He smirks, and Keith’s gaze finally snaps up to him and not the cards.

Keith rolls his eyes but stays true to the conditions set before the match. Lance doesn’t care about the edge of the table digging into his stomach when he leans over to meet Keith halfway. He still smiles against the somewhat chaste kiss before Keith breaks away too soon. Chuckling a little, Keith mumbles between them, “I think the deal was that we finally start studying for our final.”

Lance pouts. He brought out Uno with the sole intention of distracting Keith from studying. Their test is in three days. Lance only has one more paper to finish in the meantime; Keith has already completed the rest of his final assignments. They have plenty of time. “One more game?”

But Keith is already pulling out flashcards from his backpack, tapping the thick stack on the table. “How about for each question you get right, you get another kiss?”

Lance pretends to ponder it for a moment, already knowing his answer. “I can agree to that.” He leans over the table again and kisses him one more time. He holds Keith’s face in his hands; his fingers stretch into his long hair. When Lance pulls back, Keith’s eyes slowly opening, he says, “For good luck.”

Keith smiles at that and starts to quiz him. Lance gets every question correct.

The pool scene™️ but how it should have gone + add a lil spice

[finrinrinfin]

klance wip where Keith is Prince of Marmora and Lance (aka “Blue”) is the assassin sent to kill him but surprise! (gasp) they fall in love and hmm hmm hmm do you feel me? do you? are we on the same brainwave yet?

[klanced]

katie your lawyer au tags have me on my knees I never thought guys in suits doing stuff would seem interesting but wow…wow. your mind

Thank u Anon this AU is incredibly indulgent for me.......... ok time 4 more world-building.

I think @heynhay's original idea of Keith & Lance working together at the same firm is best. For both plot reasons but also for my own morale LOL

So everyone works at a fairly large private firm that splits its practice and has some of its associates doing profit-driven law (i.e. corporate or finance) which subsidizes the public interest/service work that the other associates do.

The firm is like "Altea & Daibazaal LLP" or something. Yes I am implying that the firm was started by Alfor and Zarkon. Yes I am implying that Allura and Lotor are nepo babies.

I know I originally said that Keith and Lance were law school rivals but I've changed my mind... (RIP to the law school rivalry dynamics

Instead I'm making it so that Keith and Lance are the same age but Lance has been practicing longer because he went straight into law school after college. Whereas Keith started working after college and got like a Master's degree in Social Work or something before deciding on law school at 26. (I just think Keith is the kind of person who goes to law school later in life.)

Okay onto the specific Klance dynamics... Keith and Lance are both pushing 30 and are also literally lawyers so they are professional and serious about their work... But there is wiggle room for them to still be rivals :p

Lance and Keith are both junior associates at the firm. Lance has seniority because he's been at the firm longer but he's still a year or so away from formally becoming a senior associate.

Lance really, REALLY wants to make partner and he sees Keith as his biggest threat/rival because Keith is Shiro's little brother, and Shiro recently made partner at the firm, so Lance thinks Keith might be a nepo hire. Also some of the senior associates recently left the firm so now Lance is stuck showing Keith the ropes and he's lowkey super bitter about it.

Basically TLDR Lance starts off Not Liking Keith at all for various real or imagined reasons and begins a work rivalry with him. Keith doesn't actually GAF about making partner because he's only planning on working at the firm for a few years to help pay off his student loans, but Lance doesn't know that. However, Keith is a naturally very competitive person, and he also likes having Lance's attention, so Keith immediately goes all in on the rivalry.

Lance, internally: "This Fucking Guy."

Keith, internally: "I am so good at flirting."

The first few months are rough between them. However both are also incredibly productive in their work.

The romcom part of the AU kicks in once the two of them have to start working together on a huge high stakes civil case and they're both like wow.... *twirls hair* he's so competent.............. <3

Anyway misc. things:

TBH I have no idea what kind of law Keith and Lance might private practice... I'm also really torn on what Shiro, Allura, and Hunk would practice hdjsksdhedf

Pidge is hired on a fellowship for either environmental law or data security/privacy law.

Coran does employment law.

Keith went into law school planning on going into public interest/not-for-profit legal aid and swore he would never, ever do corporate law but then he saw his student loans and was like. Hm. Okay maybe some Biglaw is okay. And that's how he ended up at the firm.

Keith:

Affections and Deceptions by Deatmat (2/2 | 21,353 | General)

"We need to talk about the bite."

He mumbles, "What about it?"

"Well, for starters, what do we do? What do we tell the others?" He gestures with his free hand at the bite. "I mean, we can't just magically make it go away."

There's a pause before he says abruptly, "What if we pretend it's real?"

- - - - -

[Lance and Keith are dating behind the rest of their teams backs but a run in with an alien bug that's venom causes victims to mimic infatuation brings both opportunities and issues to light.]

Symptoms of You by gtgrandom (4/4 | 17,409 | Teen and Up)

Keith gets bit by a love bug in Lance's presence, but he doesn’t react the way the team expected. In fact, he has no reaction at all.

Lance is very confused, and maybe...just the slightest bit...disappointed?

Love bug, with a twist.

no effect by jilliancares (1/1 | 5,655 | General)

Keith is bitten by a love bug, except he and Lance are already dating (secretly). Now he has to pretend to be in love with Lance and keep his teammates from finding out that they're already dating in the first place.

[coconut-soup]

Oh my gosh I’m crying, I opened tumbler and I just see your post about Keith and I was like no way can’t be that Keith and then I went to your blog and saw the klance art 😭 Keith is always on my mind. Every once in a while he’ll come and knock on the door to my brain and say hi.

Coming Soon to AO3!

How Could A World That Makes Such Wonderful Things Could Be Bad? (A Klance Little Mermaid AU)

Summary:

All Prince Lance wants to do is explore the human world, which is of course, forbidden by law of his older sister, Queen Allura. But when Lance rescues the very handsome and very human Prince Keith from a shipwreck, he becomes torn. Does he live under the sea with his sister and family, or does he risk everything to be with his soulmate?

Fortunately, the sea wizard Lotor may have an answer to his problems. He can create a potion to turn Lance into a human to win Keith's heart- for 6 months, so long as Lance turns over his beautiful voice to Lotor. Lance happily agrees, but not before realizing that the price for 6 months was much steeper than he expected.

With time racing against them, will Lance be able to win Keith's heart again and put an end to Lotor's misgivings?

academic rivals

Klance AU month ‘23 days 11 and 22

“Hey, pretty boy. You think you’re so great, don’t you?” Lance stands in front of Keith, hands on his hips as he glares. It takes a moment for Keith to acknowledge his presence. 

Slowly lifting his head, Keith blinks, squinting. “No?” he says more as a question. His long bangs hang in his eyes, the rest of his hair curled at his shoulders. The multiple piercings on his ears glitter in the waning sun. Lance hates that he can’t look away even if he wanted to.

“Ignoring the dress code, skipping class, still getting As,” Lance lists out, jaw clenched. “Your tactics are not going to work on me.”

Confused, Keith arches an eyebrow. “Do I know you?”

Lance sputters. “Do you—Do you know me? We’ve been in the same class since the beginning of the year!” It’s been two months since Keith Kogane ruined his life, when Keith moved fresh from who knows where—-he came from Texas though he doesn’t have an accent or a cowboy hat, but Lance saw his driver’s license once so he’s ninety-five percent sure.

Lance didn’t quite know what to make of the new kid bursting into his homeroom on the first day of junior year. His hair was a messy mullet, his shirt untucked, tie nowhere to be seen, and too many ear piercings decorated both ears for some teacher to not have called him out on the dress code violation already.

To say Lance was intrigued would be an understatement.

To say Lance was extremely annoyed when suddenly his favorite teacher started to praise Keith for his high scores on exams despite the fact that Lance has never seen Keith take any notes would also be an understatement. He’s not even sure if Keith has opened the textbook.

After another round of misery of watching Keith somehow flawlessly ace one of the hardest classes their school offers, Lance had had enough. He marched up to Keith after soccer practice, finding him on one of the furthest sets of bleachers. He had a sketch book open on his lap, pencil lazily moving back and forth. While Lance couldn’t see what he’d been doing, he just knew Keith was jotting down new ways to humiliate him. It fueled his anger and confidence that much more.

But to not even know his name? That’s the final nail in the coffin

Keith shrugs. “Like you said, I skip class. I don’t know anyone.”

Lance leans closer, practically poking Keith in the chest, outraged. “The name’s Lance. And you’ve been one upping me since you arrived!”

Keith pauses, wide eyed, before his entire expression changes. “You should’ve told me I was in a competition. I would’ve tried harder.” He wickedly grins as he speaks. Lance suddenly finds it difficult to swallow. Keith’s dark eyes are startling up close; he never realized how pretty his eyes were before. “I’ll be sure to play by the rules now.”

Lance growls. “It’s on, Mullet.”

“Well, Lance,” Keith says, getting all up in his space. Oh, there’s that accent now. Lance automatically steps back and inwardly curses himself. “I look forward to winning.”

To say Lance blushes furiously even after Keith vacates the premise is the biggest understatement of them all.

fic rec friday 22

welcome to the twenty-second fic rec friday! where, on friday, i rec five of my favourite fics.

1. you’re the one that never lets me roam by @littendeservesbetter

If any of his teammates were insulted—if Allura’s leadership was doubted, if Hunk was called too soft, if Pidge was underestimated, if Keith was attacked for his Galran heritage—Lance would defend them in a heartbeat. He knows his team and he loves his second family. He’d defend them to the universe and back.

So why wouldn’t they do the same for him?

-

season 7 episode 4: Lance's thoughts after the game show.

this fic is genuinely one of my favourite handlings of that piece of shit episode ever fr. its klance BUT also not a half-assed apology!! im not articulating this right but my point is that this is handled so well and god bless my fellow lance stans

2. xo by @thespacenico

keith confesses to lance hoping that the expected rejection will help him move on ASAP. it doesn't quite go according to plan.

darcy does not miss!! seriously her fics always make me smile. my two favourite parts of this fic were  that a) when lance didn’t know who keith liked he assumed immediately and wholeheartedly it was hunk. that’s golden right there and b) shiro is a DRAMA LOVING BITCH

3. for you only by @paprbee

"Be mine," Keith mumbles, pleas, against Lance's lips, unwilling to pull away. "Yes," Lance whispers, smiling as Keith brushes their lips together again, pressing up and forward to kiss Keith properly. "You too... be mine, too." "I am," Keith tells him when they break apart reluctantly, their foreheads pressed together, tip of their noses touching, Keith's arms squeezing Lance gently in their hold around his waist and lower back. "I'm yours."

okay i cannot describe how much this fic makes me lose my mind in my own words i literally have to give you guys a snippet of the fic that made me actually cry real tears and struggle to breathe:

"Baby," Keith says softly and it sends a thrill through Lance, hearing pet names from Keith is so rare he always melts when he does hear them, specially when they're whispered against his lips this way. He presses a soft chaste kiss into Lance again before he continues to mutter softly. "My baby, I love you. I love you, I love you, I love you."

its just. the devotion. the repetition. it always fucking gets me. from keith especially, bc hes such a devoted guy!! he is loyal to a goddamn fault and beyond like!!! thats how he loves!! with his whole heart his whole body his whole soul his own being!! he loves and loves and loves!!!

4. i’ll be your romeo by @jilliancares

In a world where Soul Marks show up only after your soulmate has fallen in love with you, it's rare for them to appear when you're not already in a relationship. It's even rarer for them to show up when you're standing on a chair in your favorite coffee shop, screeching at the sight of a spider. Lance becomes well-acquainted with this brand of "rare", and he gets the cute barista, Keith, to help him with the search for his soulmate.

first of all soulmate aus my beloved. second of all jillian fics my beloved. third of all this fic is SO dorky and i love it!! i was hooked by the first scene bc it was just so funny. the way keith falls for lance...hes such a goober i love him

5. finally, you’re mine by @nezueye

“I need you to do me a favor.”

“Okay. Anything,” Keith says easily.

[...]

“Okay so, I just need-“ Lance sighs. He pushes his hands through his hair and braces himself. “I need you to break my heart. Once and for all.”

Keith chokes on his next words. “Excuse me?”

“Break my heart.”

- or -

Does Lance finally get the guy?

this is another devotion fic bc i am fully and completely obsessed with them. i made a seperate rec for this fic a couple months ago bc it truly made my breath stop like i could not process. there were three scenes in particular that made me gasp out loud and make my heart pound. just the easy way they love each other...sobbing

that’s it for today!! i’ll see y’all back next friday for the next fic rec post!!!  

[hypfden]

If i said i wrote a short story for an klance au that has been poisoned my mind for months now, would yall enjoy drawn concept art for it?????

Yeah ive already drawn a small story board comic for it. And here’s a synopsis

“Two rivals sitting in a undisclosed location , 5 feet apart because their lesbian friend felt really guilty !!!!”

Klance angst here we go!!!!!1!!11!111

(Its posted omg here lol)

[ashippingpotato]

Ok I just thought of an Klance hc

(Thank u @idoweirdcrap)

Ok so u know the song “Stacy’s brother” by Mad Tsai?

Yeah I was listening to it and this came to me ok so it’s Altean Lance and Galra Keith au

Lance and Allura r the royal twin siblings and the Galra and Alteans have been at war for 10,000 years but one day Alfor and the king of the Galra have a meeting and decide they want to end the war and create an alliance and how do they decide to seal it? U all guessed it, marriage

The king just so have happened to have an adopted son that almost no one knew about, which is Keith. So at first the obvious chose is to marry Allura and Keith (because no one knows he’s gay including his dad)

But before they started even talking about dating and marriage Keith told her he’s gay, but didn’t want his dad to know because he is scared his dad might banish him from the kingdom

Allura is completely ok with this because she is actually lesbian and has been dating a girl in secret named Romelle and Lance is the only one who knows about it.

Allura decideds she wants to tell Lance that it’s not real and when she does Lance takes a breath of relief and is like “thank god, cause damn that dude is hot, I don’t think I could keep my hands to myself”

And Allura, as the amazing, gorgeous shipper she is, starts shipping them. And sets up a picnic date that she somehow tricks them into, and that’s when Keith caches the feels as well

And everyday after being all “couple-ly” the split off into there own respective partners.

When the wedding finally comes Lance and Romelle both crash it and that’s when they come out with the truth and in the end the alliance is settled by Keith and Lance’s wedding and Allura and Romelle get married two months later

And Keith and Lance adopted a baby girl and they all live happily ever after the end!!!!!

Anyway Thank u for reading meh people, sorry for any spelling and/or grammar mistakes and I love y’all!!



[uniquecellest]

Okay so I'm trying to find a post on here that I saw the other day, that I think has been smothered by other posts:

I remember it was a Klance Hockey AU where Keith is a hockey player and Lance is like big support for the team because he's dating the teams captain, and Lance is so supportive that the entire team like Lance.

Trouble hits when Lance has the opportunity of a life time and has to leave for 6 months. It even leads to arguments between Lance and the Captain. Lance leaves and everyone on the team is mad at the Captain bc he's cheating on Lance and the PR team is doing wonders at covering it up.

Lance returns a week early and runs into Keith who helps Lance out bc Lance has suspicions that his boyfriend is cheating. Lance catches him and takes pictures of it (I don't think the Captain noticed at all that Lance even returned home) and Lance even went through his and the Captain's home surveillance footage and finds more evidence of the Captain cheating.

Weeks go by and the entire team hates their Captain even more, because not only did he cheat on Lance but also bc the team consider Lance a member of the team because he was. Always. There.

Then one day Keith is doing a solo practice and Lance shows up. Keith assures Lance that everyone is fine with Lance's absence as it is totally understandable and Lance is thanking Keith for being a friend to him in that moment the night he came home and found his boyfriend with someone else.

If anyone knows the post please let me know (or if it's up on any fanfic site send the link)

[badsongpetey]

So, guess which blogger just got an email (finally) from Tumblr support saying that full functionality has been restored to their account? Me!

Not deleting the new account yet, because who knows? They apologized for the mistake and said it won't happen again, but having my account effectively shadowbanned for a couple months was not fun.

Here's a test run, posted this over on the other blog, let's see if it shows up in tags...

This was part of a bday gift for Infintesongbird for their klance Treasure Planet AU "I'm Still Here" over on AO3 :)
