Soulmate Line by korns (3/3 | 23,523 | General)

Lance moves from a small town where everyone's soulmate lines branch outwards. He never expected his matchmaking abilities to work, especially with there being 7.5 billion people in the world, but moving to university has increased the chances of success more than he anticipated. With Pidge and Hunk's help, he starts a business pairing naïve college students together if their lines connect, and by the time Shiro's cousin, Keith, comes to tour the campus, he already has a reputation. So how can Lance explain who Keith's soulmate is when their lines connect, and yet they're total strangers to one another?

The Master of Disguise by NireYllek (6/6 | 33,569 | Mature)

“Wait, what that doesn’t make any sense.” Hunk protested. Pidge shook her head with a tsk. “It does if one of us is disguised as Allura.” Pidge flashed a smirk in Lance’s direction. “I’m sorry, why are you looking at me?” Lance protested. Something in Keith's brain clicked, he looked at Lance and then at the Princess. Put a little make up on him, a wig, and a dress and he could- OH my god.

All That Still Matters by StoriesBeyondTheStars (12/12 | 49,274 | Teen and Up)

Everyone was born with a black mark on their wrist called a soulmark. Somewhere in the world, there was a person that had the exact same mark, and when the two people met, their marks would become coloured to show that they had found their missing half. That was how soulmates worked. To Lance, it was a pretty simple and straightforward thing. Until it wasn't.

Ciel : If I had a dollar for every pixel in this image, I’d have 15 cents

Albert : If I had a dollar for every ounce of rage I felt in my body after I read this text, I would have enough money to buy a cannon to fire at you.

Leon : I did the math, Ciel would have $225, not $0.15.

Felix : If I had a dollar I would buy a can of soda :)

Alex : While you’re there, could you buy me an apply juice please?

Felix : Sorry I only have a dollar

Alex : :(

Leon : Actually I checked again, Ciel would have $22,500 because it's a dollar for every pixel, not a cent

Felix : If I had $22,500 I would buy a can of soda and an apply juice

Leon : You can buy anything you want with $22,500

Charles : Yeah and he wants a soda and apply juice

Leon : Apply juice to what

Felix : Directly to the forehead

What If You’re Someone I Just Want Around? by ErithEl (1/1 | 14,323 | Teen and Up)

Five times Lance asked Keith to stay, and one time Keith asked Lance.

Or:

“Where are you planning to go?” When Lance’s voice came, there was no laughter in it.

Keith clutched the strap of his backpack, shaking his head. “Nowhere. Away. I don’t know. It doesn’t matter.” “I have an alternative.”

love you for a long time by myssyx (4/6 | 15,771 | Teen and Up)

“I’d give you everything, the whole universe, all of it,” Keith says, slightly slurred, hands flapping wildly with his arms still heavy over Lance’s shoulders.

Lance laughs, bright and echoey off the castle’s walls, and gently directs them closer to the lounge.

“Everything? Are you sure? Even Kosmo?”

Keith falters momentarily and furrows his eyebrows, tilting his head to the side as if it’ll help him make the most serious decision ever. His seriousness stretches the smile on Lance’s face, and he can barely hold back a second wave of laughter.

“Well...

Or: 5 times Keith gives Lance everything, + 1 time Lance gave it back

reminiscing of a life i had by hearttpoem (7/7 | 106,684 | Teen and Up)

Keith hesitates, unsure of if he’s willing to trust these strangers, before deciding he probably has nothing to lose. That maybe if he complies with their questions and requests they’ll answer his questions as well, and he won’t be swallowed by his desperation for answers.

“I remember Shiro. And getting into the Garrison. And...and,”

Keith means to say “and tomorrow is Taco Tuesday.” At least according to Shiro. He’s been waiting all month for his first taco Tuesday after hearing Matt hype it up valiantly since he got into the Garrison nearly a month ago. But hearing his voice, actually listening to it, he realizes it’s a lot deeper than he remembers. A lot deeper than it’s ever been. Is he sick? He doesn’t feel sick. At least not in his throat. He feels a piercing headache and soreness in his ribs and limbs, but not a cold or flu.

He looks down at his hands and gasps at what he sees. They’re huge! Okay, maybe not exactly huge. But they’re hard to recognize nonetheless. They’re calloused and uninviting and larger than he’s used to. They remind him of his dad almost.

Okay, now he feels sick.

hello !!! i am using this ask as a quick announcement that yes i am still here !! and sorry for the inactivity :( i haven’t been feeling too hot lately but hurt/comfort fics are always a good idea - emily

Surprise! We’re in Love! by CaffeinatedFlumadiddle (4/4 | 21,307 | Not Rated)

Lance gets a small bout of amnesia after a mission. This is understandably stressful. Keith… Accidentally makes a mess of the situation. At least Lance is pleased to wake up and find out he has a hot boyfriend.

aka

Lance thinks that he's dating Keith after losing his memory and Keith is too awkward to correct the situation.

I think that [he] could be... by youraveragemushroom (1/1 | 9,892 | Teen and Up)

...the better half of me.

Keith recounts his time from the quantum abyss. Or, he starts to realize the inevitability Lance McClain—specifically, Lance McClain in his heart, in his life, and in his future.

--

“Three years, huh?” he teased, smirking.

“Please forget you heard that,” Lance pleaded, dropping his hands and staring at Keith down the slope of his nose. “Is there any way I can ask you to never bring that up?”

“Not a chance, sharpshooter,” Keith chuckled, feeling his smirk stretch into something more real. He was too far gone for this boy to even attempt to school his features into something less obvious.

Choking on the Memory of You by notverystraight (7/7 | 51,183 | General)

“Do you really not remember me?”

Lance’s back was turned, his face angled toward the sky, but the incessant tap of his fingers on the side of the swing told Keith that all Lance’s attention was directed at him, waiting for his answer.

Keith clenched his jaw. He wanted to remember Lance. He wanted to look into those ocean blue eyes and swear that he had known them before. He wanted to say that there was at least something familiar about Lance, some flicker at the back of his mind, some dormant memory just aching to be awoken.

But no matter how hard he tried, it just wasn’t true.

“I wish I did,” Keith whispered softly. “I’m sorry.”

- In which Keith gets Hanahaki disease, and has the operation to remove the flowers, along with any memory of Lance, the boy who he’d loved. There’s misunderstandings, there’s regret, there’s heartbreak. How will the boys deal with the aftermath?

never gonna need nobody’s love (but yours) by somethingmorecreative (1/1 | 11,604 | Teen and Up)

“Order for Kevin!”

An annoyed sigh had Lance grinning.

“Jesus fucking Christ,” the man cursed, voice low enough that only Lance could hear him because of the soft murmuring and shuffling of the other customers in the shop. He rolled his eyes as he stalked up to the counter. “It’s Keith. Like I’ve told you a thousand fucking times.”

Lance pushed the cup—black coffee, gross—toward him and smiled brightly, “Have a great day, Kevin!”

Syrup and Honey by starlightment (5/5 | 61,097 | Mature)

When Lance moves back home to take over his grandmother’s highly-acclaimed coffee shop, he quickly realizes there’s a bigger issue than the struggle of carrying out his family legacy. Namely, his annoyingly handsome ex-boyfriend, who also happens to own the rowdy, customer-stealing gastropub that just opened up next door. Lance is determined to taste sweet success, but with memories of his romantic past making an unfortunate comeback, it seems like there might be more than just coffee brewing between them.

Horoscopes and Coffees by vrepit_nah (1/1 | 4,612 | Teen and Up)

Keith meets him at the coffee shop for the first time and ends up taking a special spot in Keith's heart.

But something else is going on that confuses Keith. Maybe it's witchcraft or magic, because it both terrifies and comforts him that his horoscope relates to him on a personal level. Every single day.

ahhh i’m excited to read this too ! thanks for the rec - emily

(Unofficially) Voltron Legendary Defender - Season 9 by hoelko (15/15 | 225,777 | Teen and Up)

The Universe has been saved. The war is over. Voltron is no longer needed.

But that's the thing about the Universe. It's always getting bigger.

i’m not sure if you meant new as in new new or not in our tags but here are a few that aren’t already in our time travel tag ! - emily

A Drug Called Time by DailyandGaily (8/18 | 38,933 | Mature)

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…

Shadow of the Past by wittyy_name, Zizzani (11/12 | 154,648 | Teen and Up)

When Lance is thrown through time, he finds himself one year in the future, in place of the Lance that should be here.

He finds his team to be remarkably familiar, yet distinctly different. They have more scars, a better grip on the whole saving the universe thing, and over a year’s worth of teamwork to bind them together. But the weirdest part? Keith seems to be a lot more touchy with him. Not that he’s complaining… much.

The team must try and work out how to reverse the two Lance’s places and restore them to their original timelines. But despite the fact that they’re still his friends, Lance can’t help but feel a little out of place among a team that’s been through so much with a Lance that just isn’t him. And it doesn’t help that the team is on edge around him, refusing to tell him anything for fear of influencing and changing the past. Things get even more complicated when they have to rely on the team in the past to complete the switch, leaving Lance to little more than sit, wait, and attempt to fill in his future self’s shoes.

Ghost of the Future by wittyy_name, Zizzani (11/12 | 146,833 | Teen and Up)

When Lance is thrown through time, his future self from one year ahead is transported to the past in his place.

This Lance is faster, stronger, and markedly more mature. Not only that, but he's distinctly more intuitive about his teammates and A LOT more touchy with Keith.

The team must try and work out how to reverse the two Lance's places and restore them to their original timelines. Things only get more complicated when the Future Lance can't seem to remember where he was when the switch happened, and he refuses to reveal anything about his own time for fear of influencing the team's decisions.

I’m Back at the Beginning (And I Don’t Know Where to Start) by Midnight_Clover (3/? | 6,973 | Teen and Up)

After the events of Season 8 Lance gets sent back in time when Allura Sacrifices the Lions instead. He's determined to use his foresight to change things for the better. How could he possibly fix everything if so many things are slightly different?
