Reverse psychology by tempestbreak – 100k | 11/11 | explicit

Keith is in love with Shiro. Lance is grieving Allura. They teach each other how to love again, but man – it takes them a while to get there. Genuinely my favorite kl fic of all time – talking to me about fic for long enough unlocks the perk of me rec-ing this fic over and over and over again.

Deepest shade by varelsen – 127k | 15/15 | explicit

Keith and Lance are the super rich sons of rivaling families, and naturally, can't stand each other. They still manage to fuck about it. Space opera. Gorgeous worldbuilding. Felt like I was reading a standalone novel.

New by @jupiters-junipers | 60k | 16/16 | mature

Six years post-war Lance decides to leave his old life behind without telling anyone. This leads Lance's family to call Keith to find him and figure out what the hell is going on. A roadtrip follows.

AITA by perfchan – 34k | 1/1 | explicit

Lance is going through it after the war. After accidentally sending an r/amitheasshole post to Keith, they finally reconnect after a year of no-contact. Through this, Lance realizes a lot of things about himself and his relationship to Keith.

A Raven on the Path Home by @x-soapbox-x | 31k | 1/1 | unrated

With no idea of who he is or what he's supposed to do with his life, Lance struggles after the war. A coalition ball and a job offer from Keith loom just above the horizon, threatening to burst his bubble of self-isolation.

Part Time Soulmate, Full Time Problem by @still--kicking | 145k | 14/25 | mature

Voltron rewrite in which soulmates can feel each other's pain. Lance finds comfort in thinking about his soulmate, while Keith tries to pretend his soulmate doesn't exist. Most insane slowburn ever.

four-body problem by @atlasarcana | 125k | 16/16 | explicit

The war has taken its toll on everyone. Keith struggles in a pattern of avoidance and not processing his feelings at all, and it comes to a head when Keith says Shiro's name in bed with Lance. Despite how wild it sounds, Matt helps him through it with talk therapy and BDSM. Most masterfully done relationship and character study I have ever read in my life. Keith/Lance/Matt in this one, with endgame being Keith/Lance and Shiro/Matt.

i live in a hologram with you by basicallymonsters | 18k | 2/2 | explicit

When Lance goes missing, Keith doesn't cope well – or at all. He searches for Lance all over the universe, but in the end, he finds himself looking for Lance in holographic versions of him. Letting himself drown in these simulations, trying to convince himself and everyone else that he's just searching for clues in their memories.

A Little Death by @catsushinyakajima | 87k | 5/5 | teen

After a run-in with a druid, Keith becomes awfully sick. For a while, he can't tell what's real anymore, plagued by hallucinations and fever. No matter what he does, he can't seem to get better. Trying to navigate his situationship with Lance at the same time doesn't help, either.

Chasing the Limit by @altean-mouse and @cool-and-grizzled | 99k | 14/? | explicit

Rivals Klance in the high-speed world of Formula 1. The rivarly of all time. I don't think I need to say more.

Maybe this thing works out (If I'm lying too) by @occasionalklance | 34k | 3/3 | explicit

Post-war, Lance finds himself in need of a roommate. Keith finds himself in need of a new place. Sleeping in the same bed and then sleeping with each other is just the logical next step. Of course.
