Where The Light Doesn’t Reach - rosegardenlake
228k. (Explicit) Contains: violence, nsfw content.
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.
Every Breath You Take - arahir @arahir
ongoing, 3/5 chapters, 19k. (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.

Altea Unsolved - tootsonnewts @tootsonnewts
“This week on Altea Unsolved, we investigate the Blade of Marmora, a secretive group on the outskirts of Balmera, Indiana,” Shiro begins. “The organization has long been rumored to be all sorts of things over the years - assassins, mercenaries, a branch of the illuminati-”
Keith sighs from beside Shiro.
“-and my personal favorite, alien soldiers from another universe.”
Keith sighs again, heavier this time.
“I hear that sigh, Keith, but I’m gonna go ahead and ignore it.”
“You always do,” Keith answers with a smirk.
“One day, you’ll see!” Shiro laughs. “My theories could absolutely be true!”
“You believe the illuminati is real.”
“You know I’ve seen a lizard person, Keith.”
“That was a coyote! I was there!”

Little does the wolf know, but this witch has brought a collar…
Or, an evening of fun is had by all and Keith discovers his inner furry.
I Dream Of Cassie - Kairi_of_Knives @kairiofknives
During his time in the Quantum Abyss, Keith found his future visions to be less clear than the past. Hazy, or heavily fragmented at best. There was one, though, coming only a night before they arrived at the end of the Abyss, that he still thought of long after the resulting struggle with Lotor. A young girl, vividly terrified of thunderstorms, who loved drawing and the color purple, came to him so clearly that he almost swore it had to be a memory.
At the war’s end, the paladin who had always feared he would never have a family to call his own carves a loving, comfortable home for himself alongside his life partner and best friend, Shiro, a cosmic wolf, and the girl of his dreams.
Keith’s pretty unflappable, but he’s still a little taken aback when Handsome Neighbour suddenly dives out of his apartment and- “Save me!”
Okay, Keith’s handled weirder things.

ongoing, 2/5 chapters, 35k. (Mature) contains: implied nsfw content, major character injury, mild underage drinking
HOLIDAYS AREN’T KEITH’S FORTE. He won’t even try to pretend they are, frankly. Holidays involved families, and bonding, and love that Keith just didn’t have the opportunity to experience. Though it would bother someone else, for Keith it’s an unavoidable fact that he learned to live with long before he went to college. It’s alright anyway, there’s more for him to enjoy than the holiday season. There’s still snow, that fell pure and white from the clouds on a good day. Even though the aftermath is usually never favorable, Keith always makes sure to stop and enjoy the snow while it’s white; blinding and beautiful as it falls onto everything in sight. The silver lining of winter, he likes to presume it as. Winter, as beautiful as its exterior has always been, Keith still feels cold. The silver lining can only last for so long. But this year, he has Shiro.
Shiro, who sparked an inferno so bright, he just might be able to make it through the winter without freezing to death.
Spun Like Sugar - Neyasochi @neyasochi
43k. (Explicit) Contains: nsfw content
Though Shiro is currently operating his fledgling bakery business out of a decrepit food truck he got for cheap in a repossession sale, he dreams of something more: a cozy bakery and cafe on a tree-lined street somewhere, filled with the smell of fresh coffee and sugar glaze instead of diesel. A little money could go a long way to helping him get off the ground– and luckily, Keith has money to burn.
Or: Keith takes care of Shiro’s financial woes, in exchange for a little sugar.

“Strangers putting their lives in the hands of science… with a little help from their friends.”
Lance thinks Keith needs some romance in his life– but he knows Keith won’t go looking for it on his own so he signs Keith up for a unique experiment designed to determine if science can predict true love.
The Holt siblings think Shiro works too hard and under that very capable façade lies a soft heart that just needs a bit of love. They’re skeptical of the experiment’s professed success rate but they encourage Shiro to apply – it’s all in the name of science after all.
