Isn’t life hard enough WITHOUT struggling to find content about green-coded war criminals with ties to immortality and death?
I gotchu.  Welcome to your one-stop-shop for everything related to c!Dream and c!Philza.  
GUIDELINES
This blog is primarily c! focused and prefers content where both characters are cast in a sympathetic light.  
To submit something, just send me an ask!
Posts featuring the cc!s are still accepted and housed in the cc!content tag (see below), but this blog is NOT dedicated to tracking each time the two creators interact and/or talk about each other.  It’s more like an archive!
Works featuring other characters outside of gappleduo are still accepted so long as interactions between c!Dream and c!Philza are a major driving force.  (i.e. Doomsdaytrio fics are acceptable if Dream and Phil frequently interact with each other)
This blog runs off of a queue!  Don’t be disheartened if your submission isn’t posted right away; there may be a queue ahead of you.
I’ll curate each submission and check if it’s appropriate for this blog, but there’s a chance I’ll miss something.  If I do, please (politely!!) let me know.
TAGS
gapple.art -> fanart! gapple.fic -> fanfic! gapple.thisbelongshere -> posts that aren’t necessarily about gappleduo, but belong here anyway cc!content -> clips, tweets, and other content from the ccs! modtalks -> mod updates, answers to asks, etc modfaves -> a collection of my personal favorite pieces not.gapple -> anything NOT about the green guys
FAQs
Why this duo name?  Name credit goes to @yellumina !!  I’ve seen it used sparingly for this duo and it makes sense.  Phil’s connection with gapples is obvious, Dream is often depicted with them in manhunt art, and did you know that piglins are attracted to gapples just like other golden items??  (And don’t talk to me about lore headcanons where c!Dream is forced to eat gapples in the prison...)
Who are you?  I’m Ethek!  I use he/him pronouns, and my dsmp blog is @lookinghalfacorpse .  You can find me on ao3 as jr_filiux.  As you might’ve guessed, I like these guys, so you might see some of my content on here too.

Hello! New-ish Sheith fan here. I’ve been having so much fun exploring all the content! Thank you guys so much for running this amazing blog! I was wondering, what are the “must read” Sheith fics that are considered a staple for the majority of the fandom?
Hi there! Welcome to the Sheith fandom! We’re happy you’re having a lot of fun, there’s so much amazing Sheith content out there. While we don’t really know if there are those “fandom staple” kind of fics you might find for other ships, we’re always happy to recommend some of our favorite popular ones to get you started:
Where the Light Doesn’t Reach - rosegardenlake
230k. (Mature) Contains: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Blood and Gore
Football Captain Takashi Shirogane always looked like he had a charmed life. A full ride scholarship to a top university, worshipping fans wherever he turned, never wanting for a single thing. Keith’s never needed to have anything to do with him. Keith has his own problems, his own friends, his art. They’re from two different worlds.But one day, Shiro doesn’t come home. One day, there’s blood all over the streets but no body. And it’s Keith, and only Keith, who can see Shiro, shirt splattered with blood, panicking through a hallway of people who ignore and pass right through him.It’s only Keith who can see his ghost. And it’s only Keith who can help him find who did it.
Between the Shadow and the Soul - magisterpavus
161k. (Explicit). Contains: nsfw content, violence
The most terrifying things in the desert were the men. Of this, Keith had no doubt.
Until Keith found him.
Another Word for Forever - stardropdream
61k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content
Shiro knows better than to expect love in an arranged marriage. This is all for the sake of universal peace, after all, and solidifying a Terran-Galran alliance. At the very least, Shiro can hope to make a friend out of this.
Becoming friends would be much easier, though, if he and his husband could actually communicate. With a language barrier and a mountain of cultural differences between them, getting to know Keith proves to be a challenge.
Luckily, Shiro’s always worked well with challenges.
The Uncertain Hour - Sol1056
269k. (Mature) Background ships: Allura/Lance
In the wake of Keith leaving the paladins, Kolivan is left with sole responsibility for the boy, until an outsider intervenes. When the empire ramps up its attacks, shifting alliances and growing factions put the entire rebellion at risk.
Keith trudged from the room, his steps heavier, but still barely audible. He was easily half the weight of any full-grown Galra, and only a little over half the height. He had a speed and agility that rivaled Kolivan’s best, but nowhere near the reserves. Kolivan had learned to respect that ferocity, but it did make missions exhausting. Of all the orders he’d given, had Keith ever followed one to the letter?
to go, to follow, to kneel at your feet - arahir
12k. (Explicit). Contains: nsfw content.
They think it will be funny to leave him with a Galra in heat.
It whimpers. It's a sound of pure pain, one Shiro's heard a hundred times now in the arena. The sound of something wounded and helpless; the sound of something that knows it.
"Are you hurt?" Shiro asks in the bare silence of the cell, and moves a few steps closer.
The creature on the floor twitches violently at his voice. It's not dressed like the other prisoners. It's hard to tell in the poor lighting but the back of its skin-tight suit is glowing in circuits, the same purple he's come to associate with the Galra. "I won't hurt you," he says, softer.
It doesn't make a sound but its back arches, head lifting from the floor, dragging black hair along the floor. It's dripping wet with blood or sweat. Shiro realizes the small sound he's barely been registering is breath—it's panting. It rolls, just enough to eye Shiro through its dark bangs.
He. It's a boy, and he's beautiful.

My all time favorite Yu-Gi-Oh series, it starts in canon and becomes canon-divergent, and it is just written so well! I’ve already read it three times straight and I’ll probably read it again. 
Series Summary:  Originally a series of canon-compliant stories spanning the six month gap between the defeat of Pegasus and the arrival of Otogi, it now includes a branch-off story that changes the climax of the Millennium World arc and explores what would have happened if Atem had gotten his own body a month prior to leaving for Egypt. [Manga-canon, Puzzleshipping]

Hello! I think tumblr might have eaten my ask so I’ll ask again, what are you fave wangxian fics? Thanks so much💖💖
Sorry about the late reply, nonny! There are so many good fics in this fandom so it was a tough decision to only pick a few but here are some of our faves:
Mod @luckymoony
Linger in the Sun by etymologyplayground (39+K, Teen)
(Post-Canon, Case fic, Getting together)
Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji find themselves cursed, unable to see or hear each other. They figure things out anyway
your heartbeat across the grass by fakeplasticlily (44+K, Explicit)
(AU - Modern Setting, Football, Childhood Friends) 
AU where A-Yuan is professional footballer Lan Wangji’s biggest fan, and his babysitter Wei Wuxian wants nothing more than to forget his days as the photographer of their school football team, calling out to the captain from the stands just so he’d look around at him.
Little One by arcadenemesis (8+K, Explicit)
(Post-Canon, Accidental Baby acquisition, Case fic) 
A visit to a village with a little corpse problem leads to a little more than Wei Wuxian or Lan Wangji bargained for. 
Mod @devildears​
Grand Pianos Crash Together by etymologyplayground (11+K, Explicit)
(Future fic, Fix-it, Marriage Proposal)
A month and a half into his duties, a letter arrives. Lan Zhan, it reads, I miss you already. Throw over your responsibilities and meet me at the western ridge at Qixi. Yours, Wei WuXian.
Wei WuXian and Lan WangJi parted ways after Yunping — but not forever.
This House of Ill Repute by Jo Lasalle (13+K, Mature)
(Post-Canon, First time, Getting Together)
They are not rogue cultivators. Wei Wuxian is pretty clear about that. A few weeks after Lan Zhan joined him on the road, Wei Wuxian is still getting used to the new, unnamed normal when they get caught in a rainstorm and have to make an unplanned overnight stop. 
Come let me love you (Come love me again) by obsessivereader (9+K, Teen)
(Post-canon, Sharing a room, Getting Together)
The notes from the dizi cut off as Wei Ying goes absolutely still. Over the quiet whisper of the wind through grass, Lan Wangji can hear the rapid beat of his own heart. Wei Ying’s hands drop to his side slowly, so slowly, as though time has slowed down for both of them. He turns, a look almost of fear on his face. And then…
And then, Wei Ying smiles—slow and beautiful and warm and relieved as though Lan Wangji standing before him is a treasured dream fulfilled. “Lan Zhan,” he breathes.
Mod @shamelesswngxian​
Desiderium by seredemia (20+K, Explicit)
(AU- Royalty, Childhood Friends, First Time)
After the war is over, the imperial realm can finally breathe a sigh of relief. While there is much celebration to be had, the price of war claims the life of their emperor, thus throwing the realm into uncertainty. Prince Lan Wangji must now watch as his older brother inherits the throne, bearing the weight of the legacy their father left behind.
That, however, is the least of his worries. As the lands gather in celebration, Prince Lan Wangji is reunited with a man he has not seen in thirteen years. Wei Wuxian’s smile is as captivating as ever; and with each day that passes, the prince struggles more and more to stay away from him.
Breaking Through by Suspicious_Popsicle (34+K Explicit)
(Canon divergence, Public sex, Series)
A few weeks after Wei WuXian returned from the Burial Mounds, on a rare day when his shidi was not around to shove his blinding desire for revenge between them, Wei WuXian had followed Lan WangJi back to an inn to talk. The conversation had grown heated. Liquor had been involved. Their relationship had changed.
A canon divergent fic in which Lan WangJi and Wei WuXian end their arguments by screwing rather than walking away, but Wei WuXian hasn’t caught feels yet.
Switched by shorimochi (21+K, Not Rated)
(AU - Character Swap, Identity Swap, Transmigration) 
When an actor transmigrated into a fictional world, and a fictional character transmigrated into the real world.
There are a lot of things Xiao Zhan could do - sing, dance, act, cook, draw - but not fighting cultivators, and definitely not summon an army of corpses! Most importantly, how can he handle being around Wang Yibo’s fictional self when he knew the man had been fantasising about him since fifteen?
Wei Wuxian swore just a few minutes ago he was still out there, destroying the Wens who had taken away his home, but when he opened his eyes he arrived at a dreamland where there are moving pictures, metal carriages, and people are so rich they poop in a beautiful white porcelain throne. Also, why does the Lan Zhan he saw smile so often and talk so much?
Coming Back to Yourself by acernon (21+K, Explicit)
(Canon Divergence, Pining, Sex Swap)
Lan Wangji gets cursed with a ~woman’s body~ and has to orgasm to go back. Since he’s 1) a virgin 2) super repressed and 3) SUPER gay, he has no idea what to do.
If only he had a super nosy friend who’s read lots of erotic novels who could help him figure out what to do… hm…

Fic Finders Author Faves
Some author recs from our Fic Finders team! (we love and appreciate all Sheith authors in this house, but here’s just a few that have given us some great content over the years!)
Latart0903 @latart​ - best known for the "Strengths and Weaknesses" series and probably the biggest reason I became a Sheith shipper. She surrounds Shiro and Keith with an amazing set of OCs as they meet and come together in the year before the Kerberos mission (begun long before we got the canon history between them). 
Kittymills @flashedarrow - probably best know for the "Married at First Sight" AU and that remains my favorite series from her, but she has over 40 VLD fics with a variety of content and approaches to Sheith, with a side of Allurance.
Lionescence - do you just want to FEEL things? It can be joy or loss or pain or triumph, but he has such a way of writing that captures emotions like nobody's business. Personal favorites include "Unlock the Rain" and "Make Me Weightless, Let Me Fly".
Lasersheith - a king of humor. Whether the setup itself is silly or the fallout from it, Sam is incredibly funny but also has a deft touch with character interaction, from friendship to romance. Personal faves: "Beam Me Up, Hottie", "The Way You Looked at Me", and "Serendipity's Wings".
Starboykeith - I'm not sure if she was the first Sheith author I read with a lot of PWP, but she is definitely one I would come back to and re-read because I really enjoyed the style and the depth of nuance in some of her work. Personal favorites include the "Guys My Age" series and "Lacuna". 
Redluxite (wordstruck) @redluxite - I adore their work. I've felt emotions ranging from 'God, I don't want to feel anymore, take it away' to 'this is so cute I might actually die' while reading the following stories: "someone to you" and "everything, yourself, and home".
Arahir @arahir- fandom staple tbh. Her works have made me cry on more than one occasion and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Personal recommendations: "shorts and drabbles", "all you love, you keep" and "got me feeling sub kind of way"

February Mod Faves
There were so many great fics this past month, from Valentine’s Day to zine work releases to Shiro’s birthday! Here’s a few I really enjoyed in February.
Without A Word - bioplast_hero @sheith-fanworks
15k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content
He steps toward Keith, closer than strictly necessary. It’s less than speaking distance, but they aren’t speaking, are they? The rules are different, suddenly. It would take nothing for Shiro to reach out and touch him, lifting his chin with gentle fingers, but would that say what he needs to say? Please, look at me. Tell me. His fingers twitch and stay by his side.
Shiro still hasn’t told Keith how he feels, but maybe he doesn’t have to find the words.
Guardian - magisterpavus @saltyshiro
8k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content, graphic depictions of violence, suicidal thoughts
Keith wants to believe in guardian angels, but he doesn’t.
At least, not until a Shiro with starlit hair and open arms visits him in the desert when Keith needs him most.
Lyra Falling - olddarkmachine
2k. (Mature) Contains: nsfw content
“Why do you even like my freckles so much?” Keith asks, his quiet chuckle turning into a sharp gasp as Shiro tugs his knee up over his hip.
“I just think they’re very fitting” he replies, continuing his exploration of Keith’s skin. Raising goosebumps along the invisible tracks of his touch, Shiro draws his slicked fingers over his rim, gently circling before pressing one inside.
“What?” Keith asks, the question coming out jagged with the way his breath punches out of him as Shiro starts to work him open in earnest.
“You were always meant to be amongst the stars,” he answers easily, as if it’s the simplest fact in the world.
Healing Touch - Neyasochi @neyasochi
11k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content
Shiro is a prize fighter who makes a living throwing and taking punches in Zarkon's underground arena; Keith is the massage therapist who helps put him back together afterward.
the intersection in the middle of the universe - redluxite (wordstruck)
4k. (Teen)
Here is something interesting about the universe: that it is not the only one. There are infinite realities existing parallel to each other, overlapping, sitting tangent, sitting separate entirely. They spin on and on and sometimes, sometimes, they touch.
Love Like A Roar - stardropdream @stardropdream
9k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content
“We’ve faced worse. I’m okay, Shiro,” Keith says, marveling at the fact that this could bother Shiro quite so much.
She knows they’re friends, of course. She knows Shiro worries about her. She knows—
Shiro grabs Keith’s face then and tugs her up, kissing her. It stuns Keith into silence, robbing her of all thought and breath.
Or: A near-miss during a Paladin fight puts things into perspective for Shiro, and for Keith.
A Promise is a Commitment - one_proud_hufflepuff
8k. (Teen)
Somewhere deep inside he knows with absolute certainty that Keith would never love Shiro the way Shiro loves Keith. Keith’s loyalty is to him and him alone but he shouldn’t expect anything more. He knows this.
Because you see, the thing is - Shiro is a prince.
And Keith?
Keith is his knight.
----------
Or alternatively, 5 times Keith makes a promise to Shiro and 1 time Shiro makes a promise back.
Everything Comes Back to You - Cobrilee @cobrilee
17k. (Teen) Contains: mentioned character death
When a family tragedy occurs, Shiro has to drop out of college. Eleven years later, he goes back to school as a single dad. He expects to get an education. He doesn't expect to fall in love with someone closer to his daughter's age than his (or so he thinks).
Bouquet - mikkimouse @mad-madam-m
1k. (General)
Keith catches the bouquet at Lance and Allura's wedding, leaving him and Shiro with an important conversation to have.

2019 Mod Faves
Last year was an incredible one for Sheith fics (seriously, going through my pages and pages of bookmarks from 2019 was such a wonderful journey), so here’s a roundup of just a few of the many, many fics we enjoyed last year!
Alex:
You Got Caught in the Clouds - stardropdream @stardropdream​
3k. (General)
Keith realizes he’s in love with Shiro about twenty years past when he should have realistically gotten a clue.
It’s something quiet. Keith’s realization washes over him as a steadily rising, incoming tide rather than a crushing, crashing wave.
Life Is Like A Box of Magnetic Blocks (It’s What You Build) - captnstarshine
5k. (General)
Shiro finds Keith’s hand and squeezes.
“I never thought,” Shiro’s breath catches, a little, “I never could’ve imagined our family might get bigger, after everything. I never thought I’d have this. You. We’re so fucking lucky to have you.”
Wild Card - arcadenemesis
43k. (Mature) 
Takashi Shirogane. Or, simply Shiro to fans and officials alike. World number number one 137 weeks and counting. Drop shot specialist and king of the ace. A living legend of the sport at just 24.
Keith is completely and utterly in love with him.
When Keith is awarded the US Open wild card, it sets his life on a collision course with the best in the game. But will theirs be a friendly rivalry, or will it fall victim to something far more bitter and hostile?
A Doggo Is A Shiro’s Best Friend - Saasan @decidedlysarah
15k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content
Shiro stared at the soft, black fur and the bright red collar and asked himself the age old question: if a dog is man’s best friend, then who the hell was his soulmate?
to sir, with love - flailingthroughsanity @spaceboykenny
27k. (Explicit) Contains: mentioned nsfw content
Polaroid photos, bad prose, love-letters-that-aren’t-love-letters. Keith registers himself for the pen-pal program at the local military garrison and is paired up with First Lieutenant Takashi “Shiro” Shirogane. He doesn’t really expect much from it - a new friend is the most he envisioned he could get. Falling in love with the attractive soldier was not one of them.
(Luckily, or unluckily, for him - Shiro’s having the same problem.)
Another Word for Forever - stardropdream @stardropdream​
61k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content
Shiro knows better than to expect love in an arranged marriage. This is all for the sake of universal peace, after all, and solidifying a Terran-Galran alliance. At the very least, Shiro can hope to make a friend out of this.
Becoming friends would be much easier, though, if he and his husband could actually communicate. With a language barrier and a mountain of cultural differences between them, getting to know Keith proves to be a challenge.
Luckily, Shiro's always worked well with challenges.
A Study in Scarlet - magisterpavus @saltyshiro
20k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content, graphic violence
The year is 1888, the place is Lord Shirogane’s infamous London manor, and the system is simple:
White ribbons are for those who do not wish to partake. Red ribbons are for those who are there to partake, and may be freely approached and propositioned. Black ribbons are for those who are already taken.
Keith has never worn a ribbon, until tonight.
Subtext - LittleWhiteTie @littlewhitetie
4k. (Teen)
An encounter with a druid steals away Keith’s ability to use words. It’s frustrating and isolating… and then it gets worse.
Aggravation turns to despair when Keith finds out Shiro has a disease that feeds off of feelings of unrequited love. Shiro is in love with Keith, but is under the mistaken belief that Keith doesn’t feel the same way. It would be so easy to cure—if Keith could only tell Shiro how he feels. He’ll have to find another way to show him.
say you will - ailurea
9k. (Teen)
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.
Someone Just For Me - stardropdream @stardropdream
15k. (Teen) Contains: minor character death
There’s the whisper of the Other Shiro in the back of Shiro's mind— But is he the someone just for you?
The other him has been asking that more and more lately. Shiro still doesn’t know how to respond to the question. He can sense that answering it will mean that something changes. The other him feels almost desperate sometimes and Shiro doesn’t know how to reassure him.
Keith has a realization, Shiro discovers his wish, and the other Shiro awakens fully and with a purpose. And nothing's going to be the same after that.
[mod note: the whole Chobits AU series is precious and wonderful and I recommend all of it wholeheartedly]
Akira:
Slithered Here From Eden - Neyasochi @neyasochi
14k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content, xenobiology
Life in the desert suits Keith. Between hoverbike rides across shrub-strewn flatlands and lengthy treks through ponderosa forests regrown after blistering wildfires, he’s familiar with its beauty. He knows well the star-speckled night sky, the imposing heights of the buttes, the remarkable vistas overlooking sun-streaked gorges.
But nothing is more remarkable than the man he stumbles across in a washed-out canyon far from home: long-haired and handsome, chiseled and scarred, and… serpent from the waist down.
on your hand of gold - Neyasochi @neyasochi
20k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content, graphic depictions of violence
After Shiro, an imprisoned gladiator-turned-soldier, uses the confusion of battle to slip away from his captors, he seeks shelter wherever he can find it. Unfortunately, the abandoned ruins he discovers aren’t as empty as they appear at first glance, and the fierce sphinx who guards them isn’t known for being welcoming of strangers.
Who would have thought? (It figures) - Teactoc
11k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content, blood and injury
Keith wanted to try and convince the Emperor’s Oracle to follow him but as it turned out, the man was set to be executed instead. Unwilling to let a precious life (and a possible asset) go to waste, Keith barged in to rescue him, surprised to find that Shiro, the man in question had in fact been waiting for him. But he’s the Oracle, after all, he should know a few things or two.
Madi:
The Happiest Place On Earth - Dauhu @tetsu-cchi
3k. (Teen)
Keith is dragged to the so-called "happiest place on earth," which he highly doubts, until he rides Space Mountain and is astounded by the handsome employee checking his seatbelt.
in other words, a Disneyland Meet-Cute AU
Nothing, But Eclipsed - stardropdream @stardropdream
15k. (Teen)
After the Atlas and Voltron land on an alien planet to join in a celebration, Shiro's unwittingly chosen for the sacred ritual of Rah’annurs-- with his memories scattered away from him.
As his friends help to collect his memories again, Shiro knows that there's someone he's supposed to remember and simply doesn't.
the sun forgives the clouds - cabinfever @earthspaladins / @triplehelix
ongoing, 4/7 chapters, 38k. (Teen) Contains: graphic depictions of violence
Diplomatic missions aren't supposed to send the Black Lion tumbling towards an alien planet in the middle of a blizzard. They're not supposed to leave Shiro struggling to keep up. But this one does, and the storm isn't changing.
So they wait.
Absently, he reaches up and places his hand on Keith’s cheek. That’s how you comfort people, right?
Keith’s eyes widen, and one of his hands raises to take Shiro’s by the wrist, gently guiding it away. “You’re delirious, I think,” he murmurs.

January Mod Faves
Thanks to a great suggestion from one of our followers, we’ll attempt to do wrap-ups of some of the fics we enjoyed that were published during the month! (can’t guarantee we’ll do this every month but we’ll try)
I’ll Tattoo (My Soul on You) - Kenda1L
44k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content, depression, anxiety, mention of suicide ideation
Soulmarks don’t just appear on the skin, they have to be inked by someone with the Sight. It's a very prestigious calling and one not many have the gift for. Keith is a tattoo artist who got into scamming Soulmarks as a way to get him out of his group home. He’s good at it too; he doesn’t just go around tattooing whatever he feels like. He’s a matchmaker and his matches are good, damn it. No one has a 100% success rate though, so when someone starts to get suspicious or he starts attracting too much attention, he simply picks up shop and moves on. It works for him. He's doing good work. He is!
Unfortunately, the Soulmark Enforcement Bureau does not agree.
With an agent on his trail and closing in fast, Keith really doesn't have time for things like relationships or the man at his gym who seems determined to become friends. It's getting harder and harder to remember that, however, when everything about Shiro calls to Keith like a moth to a flame.
baby’s first juniberry - artsy_alice @artsy-alice
10k. (General)
"It's an honor to meet you, Prince Keith!" "Likewise." Keith replies, bowing more casually. Then he looks up at Lotor. "We've met." Lotor raises an eyebrow. "Have you?" "He's the weird kid I told you about. From the garden. A while ago." Shiro hangs his head. Weird. Prince Keith thinks he's weird.
Shiro, the Altean royal family's ward, had never been very interested in romance. He'd much rather train and study. Then he gets told that he's about to meet his one true love.
Sunshine - Strange and Intoxicating -rsa- (strangeandintoxicating)
23k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content
Keith Arus is a barista and college student, but to pick up some extra money he starts working as a phone sex operator. His favorite caller's a man in the middle of divorcing his cheating husband. He's lonely, and Keith is entranced by this sexy and sweet man.
All is well until one day Shiro orders a coffee from him.
“Sunshine?”
“Daddy?”
Shit.
An Innocent Wager - PiscesDragon
1k. (Teen)
When Matt decides to start working with a professional to “get swole”, his roommate can’t help but tag along to laugh at his pain. In no time, Keith is a regular during Matt’s gym sessions, mainly to thirst after the incredibly buff, amazingly hot personal trainer.
Crouching Alpha, Hidden Omega - Saasan @decidedlysarah
13k. (Explicit) Contains: underage nsfw content, a/b/o dynamics
Shiro is given the "honor" of raising the Commander's ward, a cousin of a cousin the Commander can't be bothered with raising, especially not as the ward is an alpha and thus competition for his own children. Shiro however is a confirmed bachelor with no mate or pups, so he can surely have no objection to housing the young alpha for a year or so until he comes of age. It's a small expense and a great honor, or so the Commander would claim. But Shiro has a secret, one that would get him killed were it to come to light, and a young alpha living with him in close quarters? Just the kind of circumstance to reveal it.
Best Friend Open Mouth Kisses - LittleWhiteTie
2k. (Teen)
If Shiro didn’t know better, he’d think this was a date.
Dinner at a nice restaurant, a long hoverbike ride, and now this: Keith, sitting with Shiro’s head in his lap, twisting their fingers together as they gaze at the stars sprinkled above the desert’s night sky.
Shiro does know better. He knows it’s not a date. This is Keith being Keith, selfless as always, taking Shiro out to make him feel better after an extremely stressful work week.
Keith leans over, blocking the little pinpricks of light from view. “Can I kiss you?” Keith asks.
Shiro’s heart lurches. Keith is so selfless he’d even kiss Shiro to make him feel better.
a spoonful of sugar - ailurea
6k. (Teen)
It takes some serious contemplation of his life and no small amount of staring at the internet, but in the end, Keith has to concede that his friends might actually be right—Shiro might actually be his sugar daddy.
i’m going to make this place your home - GoldenTruth813 @goldentruth813
16k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content
Even with his hand over his face, Keith squeezed his eyes shut. He felt like a fucking idiot for being nervous. This was Shiro, the boy who’d built blanket forts with him at five, played astronaut with him when they were ten, held his hand on the first day of middle school, and once burped out the alphabet to make him laugh. It was just Shiro. His best friend.
And yet.
Or, the one where Keith loses his virginity under a peach tree.
Forgetting Adam Warshall - lasersheith @lasersheith
28k. (Mature) Contains: alcohol, implied nsfw content
Breaking up is always hard to do; it’s even harder when your ex is an ultra-famous TV star.
After months on tour with his band and throwing himself into his work, Shiro’s best friend convinces him to take a vacation. A peaceful Hawaiian getaway seems like just the thing to take his mind off his troubles, until Shiro discovers his ex, Adam, is there with his new boyfriend. A rebound isn’t usually Shiro’s style, but the resort’s gorgeous bartender might be exactly what he needs.
I can’t care ‘bout anything but you - zjofierose @zjofierose
4k. (Mature)
When Keith and Shiro are sent to visit a nearby planet for Diplomacy Reasons, Keith reacts badly to having to share one (small) bed with Shiro - but why?
a love with intuition - ailurea
4k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content
Shiro's spent the past five years running himself ragged with diplomatic missions on behalf of the Garrison, and there's no end in sight.
Or, at least, there isn't. Not until Keith takes it upon himself to give Shiro a break—by kidnapping him.
Rime - Neyasochi @neyasochi
9k. (Teen)
When a last minute diplomatic mission sends Shiro to a frozen world, he expects he’ll spend most of his downtime alone, cold, and fairly miserable.
Until a handsome, mysterious Blade of Marmora appears, too— and they wind up sharing a room, a bed, and more.

What are some WIPs you’re all looking forward to updates for?
In addition to the in-progress ones from this list we did previously (some are completed now, but still good!), here’s some new ones we look forward to:
Alex:
A Friend Indeed - CGotAnAccount @illunelurks
ongoing, 4/? chapters, 9k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content. Background ships: friends with benefits Matt/Keith
There are a few things Matthew Holt has learned over the past few years of being launched into space, kidnapped, thrust into an intergalactic war, and hailed as a hero of the universe.
Firstly, space is as huge and beautiful as he always knew it was – just twice as terrifying as he could ever have imagined.
Second, his little sister is in fact the smartest human that will ever exist and nothing will ever convince him otherwise.
And lastly, Shiro and Keith will never, ever get their shit together.
Beam me up, Hottie - lasersheith @lasersheith​
ongoing, 7/? chapters, 34k. (Teen)
Shiro’s life is kind of a mess. His job sucks and his best friends are moving across the country back to their hometown. All he really has is Star Trek until the Big Bang pairs him with an artist that just might change everything.
“Do you remember that event I told you about?” His voice came out barely above a whisper.
Laughing again, Matt sat his sandwich down. “You mean your totally-not-porn writing competition?”
Shiro groaned. “It’s not porn,” he hissed out quietly, “and it’s not a competition, it’s just an event.” He said, looking up into Matt’s judgmental eyes. “Look, you own 6 replica anime swords. It’s literally illegal for you to judge me for anything, ” he pointed an accusing finger at Matt’s chest.
Matt held up his hands in mock surrender. “Ok, ok. So what about your event thing?”
Shiro looked back down at his phone with an awed smile. “I got paired with my favorite artist…” He answered wistfully.
don’t call me baby (unless you mean it) - akaiiko @akaiikowrites​
ongoing, 3/? chapters, 36k. (Explicit) Contains: PTSD
Getting with Shiro is worth anything. Anything. So Keith is going to fake being the cliche with daddy issues - complete with stuffed animals, booty shorts, and an utter loss of dignity - until he makes it. Hopefully along the way he’ll figure out why it feels like being Shiro’s baby boy might just be the best thing that’s ever happened to him.
Keith has a moment where he wonders, somewhat blankly, how he bought this perfectly serviceable shirt and then promptly forgot its existence. Then he looks down. And remembers in a series of post traumatic flashbacks exactly why he’d blocked the shirt from his consciousness.
Namely, three words, in a font that isn’t comic sans but comes insultingly close to it, garnished with red glitter: Daddy’s Little Boy.
“Keith?” Very slowly, he turns to look at the closed door to his bedroom. “Keith, are you okay? I heard…” Probably some kind of vaguely strangled noise. But Shiro’s too nice to articulate that kind of thing. “Keith? If you don’t answer, I’m coming in.”
For All the Stars in the Sky - allyoop_1 @isabelladeltigre​, Wolfy_P_Smith
ongoing, 4/? chapters, 34k. (Mature)
“They’re good kids.”
They both take a moment to look over at said kids. Pidge has her elbows on the table, butt in the air as she finger smashes on her DS and Matt is picking at a tear in the booth and eating what comes out.
“Well,” Keith says, turning back to Lance. “They’re…kids. Probably human.”
Matt licks at the tear in the seam and Lance grins. “Debatable.”
Or: Keith has two jobs, two kids, and a million problems. Shiro’s not the solution to all of them, but he sure does help.
Make Believe - LittleWhiteTie @littlewhitetie​
ongoing, 5/7 chapters, 18k. (Teen) Contains: PTSD
In which, in order to form an alliance, Keith and Shiro need to fake a relationship and endure a series of related trials.
This was a terrible idea. An excruciating, tantalizing car crash of an idea. Keith should never have agreed to this. It was everything he’d ever wanted and more. He was never going to be able to come back from this.
Careful metal fingertips traced his jaw, tipping his face up to meet gentle, storm grey eyes. He was close, so close. “Everything okay?” Shiro asked, quietly.
“Of course,” Keith said. “Everything is fine.”
It was a bald-faced lie; everything was not fine. It was wonderful and devastating and nowhere in between.
my doorbell, when you gonna ring it? - spectrespecs @exitlude​
ongoing, 2/3 chapters, 35k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content
Shiro, a chronic apartment renter, feels like it’s time for him to settle down and buy a house. He thinks so, at least. Keith, one of the finest real estate agents in the city, is the one tasked with finding Shiro a home. They both find a little more than intended.
a slow, dumb show - redluxite (wordstruck)
ongoing, 6/8 chapters, 19k. (Teen)
Shiro shrugs. “No.” His lips quirk in a little half-smile. “Are you going to ask me?”
Keith’s mouth curls, just a little. His eyes flick over to Shiro again.
“Why not?”
Shiro comically stumbles to a halt. “Sorry?”
There’s that amusement tucked in the corner of Keith’s mouth again, as he reaches out a hand to steady the pizzas in Shiro’s arms. They’re quite close together now.
“Do you want to go out with me?”
All Eyes On Us - Green_Destiny @green-destiny
ongoing, 4/? chapters, 32k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content
K_Red and BlackLion are camboys for the same website. Unrivaled in their power but rivals to each other, a chance meeting at an official event pulls them inevitably towards each other, as much as Keith would like to resist, gravity is always, always stronger.
the peace-weaver - magisterpavus
ongoing, 18/20 chapters, 203k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content, trans Keith, sexual violence
You will be the peace-weaver, his mother told him, smiling though her dark eyes welled with unshed grief. The one who brings two bitter enemies together and ends the bloodshed and death between us, once and for all.
But men will always crave war. The Galra, most of all.
Akira:
every breath you take - arahir @arahir​
ongoing, 5/7 chapters, 32k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content
Keith takes a swim, gains a secret admirer, and finds something to live for.
There’s a cut on his bottom lip, a row of tiny lacerations that smart when he pulls at them to get a better look.
He doesn’t notice the bruise on his upper arm until the next day. He catches the edge of it at the corner of his eye when he’s pulling on a fresh shirt: blue lines, like stripes, but when he turns and twists to see how they ring his arm, he realizes what they look like.
The lines are like fingers. It’s a handprint.
sweet sun, send me the moon - arahir @arahir​
ongoing, 2/? chapters, 8k. (General) Contains: graphic depictions of violence, temporary amnesia
Shiro still has one battle left to fight.
Keith’s body in his arms doesn’t twitch and his eyes don’t flicker. They’re open a little, Shiro realizes; dull, sightless slits of white. Not dead, though. He’s not dead. Damaged, yes, but they can fix this.
Kel:
The Alien at Camp Marmora - flukeloops
ongoing, 6/10 chapters, 19k. (Mature)
Shiro and Keith are back at Camp Arus and madly in love. Alfor has to take a week off to tend to personal matters and has left his friend Kolivan in charge. Kolivan presents the staff and campers with Camp Marmora: a grueling 5-day challenge that tests their bodies and maybe even their minds. Will Shiro and Keith’s fairy tale romance stand through it all? What will the challenge reveal about both of them?On top of it all, the longer Shiro stays in human form, the worse his legs hurt. He’s afraid that he and Keith’s worlds will drift too far apart if he has to live in the water.[SEQUEL to The Mermaid of Lake Altea]
Sweet Cherry Pie - keiti221 @starlightshirogane
ongoing, 8/? chapters, 18k. (Mature) Contains: nsfw content, abuse, stalking, implied/referenced rape/non-con, kidnapping, murder, threats of violence, threats of rape/non-con, death threats
After Keith shows up to perform at an event that didn’t actually want a male stripper, he spends the evening sipping wine coolers with the hottest detective he’s ever gotten his hands on. Unfortunately, neither of them have been particularly good at relationships - Shiro is always busy with work and Keith keeps attracting weirdos - but both want to make this one work. So what could possibly go wrong?
Shiro the Hero and the Happily Ever - Saasan @decidedlysarah
ongoing, 2/11 chapters, 8k. (Mature) Contains: nsfw content, a/b/o dynamics, mpreg
Shiro never thought he’d be able to find a mate, let alone have a family. As blessings keep piling up in his life, he thinks back on the road it took to get there. Keith had always feared mating, but being with Shiro is bliss–if only he’d be just a *little* less weepy-with-joy. Meanwhile, Lance and Pidge discover they will be having a family much sooner than expected. This story will follow the four of them on their path to parenthood and, because the author isn’t a dick (unlike DreamWorks), everyone gets a happily ever after.
See You In Court - arcadenemesis
ongoing, 2/5 chapters, 15k. (Mature)
If Shiro’s life were a movie, this would be the part where the music would swell and everything would slow down.
He’s not sure how long he stands there, just watching, but it’s not until another hotel patron brushes past him that Shiro comes back down to Earth. Thank God Keith hasn’t seen him yet. Meeting eyes from across the room seems romantic in theory, but Shiro’s pretty sure his open staring would be anything but in reality. Better going for a smooth introduction, he decides, steeling himself and walking over with confidence he doesn’t feel.
"Hey there, Wild Card.”
Takashi Shirogane is the best in the world at tennis, and the absolute worst at love.
(Or, Wild Card through Shiro’s eyes.)

Hello :) May I request mod faves but with Twitter threads?
Absolutely!
Alex:
Pretty much anything from Vel (@blackpalaladin)  (Seconded! - Kel)
Season 8 fixit - blackpalaladin @gabrielsthighz
I imagine that after Allura ‘dies’, wormholes become difficult to control without an alchemist. The result means they become unstable and bad people try to weild them.Which is why Krolia has to deliver the news to Earth that Keith’s ship and two others were destroyed by one.
Lightweight Drunk Shiro - pejaposarambi @cockybusiness
Lightweight, Drunk! Shiro is handsy and horny and and cuddly and openly, vocally thirsty over his sweet blushing husband at the bar, in front of all their friends.—Except Keith is not his husband. They’re actually not even dating. Never confessed.Keith’s face is so, so red.
Post Season 7 - B1ackPa1adins
I guess it *could* be a S8 fix it of sorts, but I’m ignoring both the epilogue and Allura dying, so…. more canon-divergent. Here there be angst, but there’ll be a happy ending, I promise.After Keith and the other paladins fall from the sky, Shiro doesn’t leave the hospital for days. He checks in on all of them, of course, but he stays with Keith. He attends meetings remotely, answers questions, and writes his upcoming speech, all from Keith’s bedside.
Veterinarian Keith - GettiRegretti
Hey remember that drunk guy who found an injured animal and sent it via an Ub3r taxi to a vet? Well. Shiro. And Sheith. And an AU thread.
Knight Keith & King Shiro - keithbday
Keith as a fighter from a poor region AU joining a tournament from a big rich country where the victor will be married to the KingBut in the middle of tournament he fell in love with a fellow competitor insteadHeart vs duty
Shiro loves Keith’s scent - goldentruth813 @teamtakashi
We talk a lot about touch deprived shiro but rarely about his other senses. For some reason I can’t stop thinking about Shiro burying his face in Keith’s hair or his neck because he smells musky and clean and so familiar it makes Shiro ache
Penpal AU - spaceboykenny @spaceboykenny
AU where Keith joins a penpal program with the local military, and he gets to send letters to one Lieutenant Takashi Shirogane. It goes from awkward GTKY messages, to liberty care packages, photo exchanges, a phone call they’re both too excited for and you know the drill
I’ll stop here, but honestly Twitter’s a goldmine of fics and I have a million more I love.
Kel:
I love all of Alex’s picks, but here’s some more:
Selkie AU - blackpalaladin @gabrielsthighz
Keith finds a bunch of kids fighting over a shimmering silver pelt at the beach one day. He sends them scrambling and sees that the pelt is ripped in several places. Without thinking, he takes it home to mend.
Escort Keith AU - epiproctan @epiproctan
Keith is a high-class escort and shiro is his lonely, wealthy client, until he’s not. a thread.
Sheith Modern Royalty AU - redluxite @redluxite
Shiro is a journalist and Keith is the second son of the king, and a close brother of crown prince lotorthere are rumors of lotor renouncing his position, and shiro’s been asked to go in and cover the story
Eyeshield 21 AU - neyasochi @neyasochi
high school quarterback Shiro watches delinquent Keith slug a school bully and then bolt from the scene before any teachers show up, sprinting quicker than anyone in the track club– and he’s determined to get the guy with the golden legs onto his team
Keith in the Arena - RixanDeveroux
(ongoing)
I’ve been wanting to do a Keith-in-the-arena thing for a while and couldn’t figure out how to get it to happen for the longest time.Thread will include: #Sheith, torture, disfigurement
Dragon Keith AU - nerothecryptid @kibamakara
(ongoing)
The dorm was smaller than what Keith was used to, but he couldn’t complain. This was a new start for him, and he worked too hard to get here to bitch about space. It was at least big enough for Kosmo should Keith need him.“Yeah, Uncle Kolivan, I’m here, made it safe.”

Some of your favorite fics? With not smut or not appearing smut? I already read and enjoyed your modfav tag ♥️
Kel:
His Cost - cadkitten @cadkitten
3k. (Teen).
Keith knows there’s a cost to all of them in the aftermath of their final battle. He just never expected this to be it.
Caught in the Tide - Skalidra @skalidra
7k. (Teen).
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.
Amaira:
Scapeless Space - Teyke
44k. (General) Contains: PTSD
Shiro is trapped inside a mental prison: a psychic landscape of life just before the Kerberos mission.
If his captors think this will make him give up, well. They’re in for a surprise.
Cattitude - palavin
8k. (General)
Keith gets turned into a cat. Shiro struggles to cope. Set sometime before season 3.
“I just — ” Shiro tries, unable to encompass all the feelings he has about how adorable cat Keith is.
Keith glares up at him in a way that clearly says: sleep with one eye open, Shirogane.
“Look at his ears,” Shiro finishes lamely.
Pidge smacks a hand over her face. “Okay, so you’re useless right now.”
Madi:
Nothing, But Eclipsed - stardropdream
15k. (Teen) 
After the Atlas and Voltron land on an alien planet to join in a celebration, Shiro’s unwittingly chosen for the sacred ritual of Rah’annurs– with his memories scattered away from him.
As his friends help to collect his memories again, Shiro knows that there’s someone he’s supposed to remember and simply doesn’t.
Cym:
who in the world is keith’s husband? - ailurea
9k. (Teen)
Team Voltron’s manager, Keith, is bringing a plus one to the holiday party, and no one has any idea who it could be.
There’s only one thing Team Voltron can do: start a betting pool.
take me so breathless, we could be reckless - artsy_alice @artsy-alice
10k. (General)
Keith is still covered in flowers and petals, carrying a little bouquet of wildflowers. Shiro still has a flower crown hanging off an ear. Both of their fancy outfits are rumpled and grass-stained.
“Looks like you two enjoyed your afternoon.” Krolia says, voice carefully neutral.
���The kits were little angels.” Keith says. “Until they decided that we are, in fact, soul-match-mates or something like that, and made us marry each other.”
Kolivan chokes on his tea.
Keith and Shiro babysit royal children in the name of interplanetary diplomacy. They end up married.
Alex:
Gone and I Want You Back - carryaworld @carry-a-world
9k. (Not Rated) Contains: presumed character death
Kolivan brings bad news that sends Shiro on a downward spiral. How can he live in a world without Keith?
You Got Caught In The Clouds - stardropdream
3k. (General)
Keith realizes he’s in love with Shiro about twenty years past when he should have realistically gotten a clue.
It’s something quiet. Keith’s realization washes over him as a steadily rising, incoming tide rather than a crushing, crashing wave.
Subtext - LittleWhiteTie
4k. (Teen) 
An encounter with a druid steals away Keith’s ability to use words. It’s frustrating and isolating… and then it gets worse.
Aggravation turns to despair when Keith finds out Shiro has a disease that feeds off of feelings of unrequited love. Shiro is in love with Keith, but is under the mistaken belief that Keith doesn’t feel the same way. It would be so easy to cure—if Keith could only tell Shiro how he feels. He’ll have to find another way to show him.
blue hawaii - tagteamme @phaltu
1k. (Teen)
The squad tries to figure out a crucial piece of information about the precinct’s newest hire.
“So are you guys outdoorsy?” Lance asks, and Keith shrugs.
“Shiro gets antsy if he doesn’t get outside enough,” Keith replies, shifting through a stack of papers on his desk. “We make sure we go out for at least a run every day. The fresh air is good for us.”
“Dog,” Allura mouths while Lance is pretty sure Hunk’s miming a dog barking. It’s a little disturbing.
Aliyah:
Teach Me Something New - tagteamme @phaltu
71k. (Teen)
Keith and Lance accidentally get into trouble. Shiro is the TA that has to Deal With It™.
Lance takes this as an opportunity to wingman Keith, everyone wants to put in their two cents and Keith just wants to be left alone (with Shiro).
“You guys aren’t stupid,” Shiro frowned. “Keith is the top of the class, and you’re a close second, right?”
“Wanna know what else Keith wants to be on top of?” Lance started, and Keith drove his heel into Lance’s foot. He kept the pressure there as Shiro looked at them with a confused expression.
“All his other classes,” Lance wheezed, and Keith lifted his foot off. “Which is why I was just as surprised as everyone else when he was caught cheating.”
“I didn’t cheat!” Keith grumbled and Lance stuck out his tongue. “You were caught too!”
To See Colors - rosegardenlake @whoalookingcooljoker
35k. (Teen)
Keith’s never believed in love or colors, but one day, he looks over and his monochrome world is bathed in it. A loner to a fault, he’s not sure what to do. His soulmate can’t see colors or Keith. His soulmate is blind.
your sharp and glorious thorn - arahir @arahir
38k. (Teen) Contains: graphic depictions of violence
To end the war they inherited, Keith marries the King he lead an army against.
“You know, we met once,” the king continues, voice closer, and Keith almost turns. They met many times on the field—but then the king clarifies with a single word. “Before.”
Before he was a king. Maybe before he was a general. Keith has traced his rise like the growth of a seed he planted in clay and never expected to see again for how poorly he sowed it. None of this would have been possible without Keith—not the war, not a line soldier’s battlefield promotion, not the end of it all, tied up so neatly by all Keith’s best mistakes. Not the killing, either. The king is right about that much, at least.
Share My Forever, Love - psyraah @shiroganedefencesquad
38k. (Teen) Contains: panic attacks
Takashi meets Keith the day after he turns six.
From then on, they’re best friends. Inseparable, they think, forever and ever and ever. Except for when Shiro goes away to the Garrison, and carelessly leaves Keith behind. Except for when Shiro goes to Kerberos, and Keith loses him all over again.
But there’s one promise he whispers in his heart when he is six, forgets all together in the midst of graduation, and tells to the stars when he’s taken by the Galra.
He will always come home.
Kim: 
Parallel - Oruka @orukamachi
8k. (Teen) Contains: major character death
ATLAS:COM OUTGOINGKeith,It’s six months since I last heard any news of you.Hope you’re well.Please, get in touch as soon as you’re able.I just want to know you’re okay.Shiro.
As the team begins to break up, Shiro tries to maintain contact by radio, but Keith stops responding.
Keith was never one for talking, but the one person he wants to talk to has stopped calling him back.
a self-fulfilling prophecy of endless possibility - spectrespecs @exitlude
14k. (Teen)
When Takashi Shirogane comes to the Galaxy Garrison, Iverson knows what to expect; there’s a file to tell him. When Shiro brings Keith to the Garrison, Iverson doesn’t know what to expect. But he watches.
Iverson observes Shiro and Keith grow separately and together through the years.
burn this bridge to ash - perfectlyrose @perfectlyrose
1k. (General) Background ship: Shiro/Curtis
After Shiro’s wedding, Keith leaves.
It takes a year and change for Shiro to figure out that he’s not planning on coming back.

Kel:
Like They Do In Babylon - zjofierose @zjofierose
28k. (Teen).
It’s been nearly two years since Shiro’s life-changing accident, the one that knocked him out of the corps at Galaxy Dance and derailed his career and his dream. He’s been teaching ever since, and can feel himself stagnating. But what else is there for him? How can he find a way to love (dance) again?
Wild Card - arcadenemesis @copilotsheith
43k. (Mature).
Takashi Shirogane. Or, simply Shiro to fans and officials alike. World number number one 137 weeks and counting. Drop shot specialist and king of the ace. A living legend of the sport at just 24.
Keith is completely and utterly in love with him.
When Keith is awarded the US Open wild card, it sets his life on a collision course with the best in the game. But will theirs be a friendly rivalry, or will it fall victim to something far more bitter and hostile?
series: Equalize/Stabilize - stardropdream
2 works, 22k. (Teen).
Shiro watches as Keith (Keith, different, with long hair in a braid, broader shoulders, and older face) looks around the room wildly, trying to place where he is. Then he closes his eyes and laughs, a soft, disbelieving chuckle. Shiro watches the tension ease from Keith’s shoulders.
“Right,” Keith whispers. “I remember this now.”
Or: Keith from the future ends up in the present. Shiro copes the only way he knows how– by squashing all his feelings back down again.   
Silence Lay Steadily - flailingthroughinsanity @spaceboykenny
54k. (Explicit). Contains: major character death, underage.
And, Keith thought, perhaps, all along, they’ve never really understood what they’ve lived through, or felt as if they’ve had enough time.
A contemplation of love, friendship, family and what it means to be alive.
(Mod note: you WILL cry reading this one!)

Teach me how to love - captainhurricane
24k. (Explicit).
Love has never quite been on Keith’s radar. Too bad his new co-star, Shiro, veteran of the screen, didn’t get the memo.
Beam me up, Hottie - lasersheith @lasersheith
ongoing, 6/7 chapters, 29k. (Teen).
Shiro’s life is kind of a mess. His job sucks and his best friends are moving across the country back to their hometown. All he really has is Star Trek until the Big Bang pairs him with an artist that just might change everything.
“Do you remember that event I told you about?” His voice came out barely above a whisper.

Matt held up his hands in mock surrender. “Ok, ok. So what about your event thing?”
Shiro looked back down at his phone with an awed smile. “I got paired with my favorite artist…” He answered wistfully.
Akira:
if you lie down with wolves - Neyasochi @neyasochi
13k. (Mature).
Shiro opens his eyes when the hard fall he’d braced for doesn’t come to pass. Above him looms the rustle of wet leaves and dripping rain and a pale, handsome face.
“You—” Shiro stops short, transfixed by a pair of dark but distinctly human eyes, their purple irises bordered by a faintly yellowed sclera. His gaze darts higher, to the pointed, fur-tufted ears jutting up from a mane of black hair. “You’re… it’s you. You’re the one who’s been following me.”
“Keith,” the man offers, voice burning low.
Shiro softens, sagging against the body that grips him. “Keith.”
give me to the waves - epiproctan @epiproctan
22k. (Explicit).
When Shiro moves to a lighthouse on the bay, he expects a quiet and secluded place to live out his remaining days away from the burdens of society. What he gets instead are rumors of something capable of wrecking ships living in the deeps, mysterious presents left on the rocks, and the feeling of constantly being watched.
And maybe even the absolute last thing he expected: to fall in love.
on your hand of gold - Neyasochi @neyasochi
20k. (Explicit). Contains: graphic violence.
After Shiro, an imprisoned gladiator-turned-soldier, uses the confusion of battle to slip away from his captors, he seeks shelter wherever he can find it. Unfortunately, the abandoned ruins he discovers aren’t as empty as they appear at first glance, and the fierce sphinx who guards them isn’t known for being welcoming of strangers.
Cas:
Hello, Daddy - GoldenTruth813
13k. (Teen).
Keith grudgingly attends his first Pride where he meets a Daddy. A dog daddy that is.
drunk on the idea of you, baby - corduroywords @beefy-keefy
3k. (Teen).
Shiro might grow just a bit attached to the trashed boy in the corner booth with pretty eyes that can’t eat a burger.Shiro watches in awe as he picks it up again, and slowly, carefully, begins to unhinge his jaw in a terrifying power move and moves the burger towards his open mouth. Years of flight and accuracy training has Shiro knowing right away it’s not going to make it. He keeps watching though, on the edge of his seat as the boy keeps moving it closer, closer, until it bumps into his cheek, a good five inches from his target.
in quiet proclamations - redluxite (wordstruck) @redluxite
1k. (Teen).
“Hercules.”“Hm hmm.”“Corona Australis.”“Mmmm.”“Takashi.”“Mm.”“I love you.”
Or, Keith’s a mechanical engineering student with a love for space, Shiro’s captain of the uni football team, and Mondays are warm.
Alex:
the last trial - favspacetwink
7k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content, dubious consent, afab language
“I still - I don't-” Shiro feels like his brain is broken. “I still don't get why this is necessary.”
“All aspects of physical stamina are tested during the trials,” Kolivan replies, standing next to him as both of them watch the screen. “Awakening the blade is only the first step. Your friend is an omega, and all omegas currently serving with the Blades have lasted an hour or more on this device. It is protocol.”
say you will - ailurea
9k. (Teen)
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.
Easy To Love - Kika988
15k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content, childhood trauma
Keith’s face takes on an expression of genuine concern. "Shiro? What’s wrong?"
"...I think I just became a father."
There's a long pause as Keith goes very still. "I’ll be right there."
After the end of the war, Shiro learns he has one living relative: a five year old girl named Mika. He's nervous about taking her in, but can't bear the thought of leaving her alone. Keith is, as always, ready to support him in any way he can.

19k. (Teen).
Prince Takashi of Shirogane must marry to inherit the throne, and his spouse must be determined by eligible candidates competing in a series of competitions known as the Royal Games. Complications arise when Shiro’s bodyguard, Keith, goes missing weeks before the Games begin, and then again when a mysterious suitor shows up to compete. What has happened to Keith? And who is the Red Knight, the challenger who seems determined not just to win Shiro’s hand but also his heart?
Lost and Found - avidbeader @avidbeader
3k. (General).
A visit to a second swap moon yields unexpected results.
Deep Down - Kalira @kalira9
18k. (Mature).
Shiro returns from a long mission to find that something has happened to Keith while he was away … and this new, feral Keith needs him more than ever.
Alex:
Chocolate - Pholo @mighty-trash
5k. (Teen).
“Forget the chocolate shake,” Shiro says. “If someone managed to find me a bar of chocolate, I would marry them on the spot.”
Keith’s brain short-circuits.
It’s like the fuse for an entire city blew out. The conversation goes on around him, but the words are barely radio fuzz at the back of Keith’s head. He’s stock-still on the couch, rigid like a plank of wood, his whole world reduced to five words:
 Marry them on the spot.
Life Is Like A Box of Magnetic Blocks (It’s What You Build) - captnstarshine
5k. (General).
Shiro finds Keith’s hand and squeezes.
“I never thought,” Shiro’s breath catches, a little, “I never could’ve imagined our family might get bigger, after everything. I never thought I’d have this. You. We’re so fucking lucky to have you.”
Cattitude - palavin
8k. (General).
Keith gets turned into a cat. Shiro struggles to cope. Set sometime before season 3.
“I just — ” Shiro tries, unable to encompass all the  feelings  he has about how adorable cat Keith is.
Keith glares up at him in a way that clearly says:  sleep with one eye open, Shirogane.
“Look at his ears,” Shiro finishes lamely.
Pidge smacks a hand over her face. “Okay, so you’re useless right now.”
Not Kitten Around - Cobrilee
5k. (General).
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.

in quiet proclamations - redluxite (wordstruck) @redluxite
1k. (Teen).
“Hercules.”“Hm hmm.”“Corona Australis.”“Mmmm.”“Takashi.”“Mm.”“I love you.”
Or, Keith’s a mechanical engineering student with a love for space, Shiro’s captain of the uni football team, and Mondays are warm.
Before We Fell Apart - EchoResonance @echoresonance
3k. (General).
Contrary to popular belief, Keith wasn’t much of a scrapper. He was in the Garrison on sheer good graces and talent; one wrong move would lose all of that. He had a thick skin, he ignored most of the jeers thrown his way. So when Shiro found him in the middle of it all, all his easy objectivity was gone. Shiro jerked him out of the fight by force, scowling down the other cadet until he ran off with his tail between his legs before dragging Keith after him with every intention of finding out what finally lit his fuse.
Wingin’ It - wolfsan11 @wolfsan11
1k. (General).
An accidental encounter on a flight reunites Keith with his college best friend and old crush, Takashi Shirogane, giving them the opportunity to connect, and put a name to the bond between them while they’re at it.
Sam:
hello, i love you, won’t you tell me your name - perzimon
12k. (Teen).
Keith’s human enough to have wisdom teeth and unlucky enough to need them extracted. The team despairs.
Toast the Snow That Fell - p0rth0s
31k. (Explicit).
Keith leans forward a little further, puts his weight on his arms and kicks his socked feet in the air a few times, like paddling water. “I’ll be your friend, Shiro.”
Shiro pauses where he’s bent over the couch, meets Keith’s gaze dead-on and stares. “Aren’t you generous.”
“I’m so good,” Keith chirps.
“So drunk,” Shiro mumbles. He’s not wrong.
TL;DR a first meeting, a snow in, a Holt, and two lonely boys
closer than my hands have been - arahir @arahir
5k. (Teen).
Keith and Lotor hit it off. Shiro isn’t ok with this reality.
“Well they’re both part Galra and have a really questionable relationship with their swords. I mean, I’m just spit balling but that’s probably part of it.”
It doesn’t help, because Lance is right. Lotor has been here for two days in a tentative alliance that’s looking like it might it shake out to something permanent. Shiro should be overjoyed. This is their chance, their edge against Zarkon, but—
Across the room, Keith says something soft, and Lotor smiles down at him, bright eyed and genuine.
Shiro can’t breathe.
Glory - razielim
13k. (Explicit).
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.
(a little sad in the beginning but v v uplifting)
