The Promise by drschnz | 67.6k | College AU | Summer Vacation

Gets into Keith's anxiety and paranoia soooo well. You see how his problems cause problems and how his fears and actions are percieved by others and atdghdhdd. Beach house fic on top. Sooo much build up with such a satisfying confrontation. Loved it.

Bang by vanitashaze | 18.9k | Smut | Autism/ADHD

Holy shit you guys. First off, the author has the funniest language ever, they write totally the way Lance would think. Second off, this fic addresses ideas like consent, body image, capabilities of enforcing boundaries, and self-respect so well! This is fully a smut, but it's a very autistic smut (smut between autistic people, focuses more of the autism). So fucking realistic and good.

Part Time Soulmate, Full Time Problem by StillKicking/@still--kicking | 54.8k+ | Soulmate AU | Canon-Compliant

THIS FIC IS SO ARGHH! Soulmate au with both POVs?? Sign me tf up. Love seeing how they affect each other and how they think the other perceives them (only to be dead wrong). There is sooo much teamwork in this (CUZ THEY MAKE A GOOD TEAM AND THE AUTHOR KNOWS IT). This fic is beyond beautiful and I'm so excited to see where it goes.

love me to my bones (all this time) by ShatterinSeconds/@shatterinseconds | 8k | Post-Canon | Ace!Keith

So any ace fic at all deserves to be put in the hall of fame, but an ace fic from the allosexual POV? AUGH! It's so indulgent to see Lance talk about Keith so respectfully and love him and try his best. And he's never giving up anything to stay with Keith. Also they're dumbasses.

Grin and Bear It by loadingboy/@loadingboy | 192k+ | Brainwashing | Heavy Angst with an eventual comfort

So no list of mine is complete without a fic that induces psychological warfare on the mind. you guys. I read 10 chaps of this fic in four hours. That's how into it I got. I got sooo much tension reading this. Zack is the king of pacing a story. You always recieve snippets of information, but never the full picture, and I ALWAYS WANT MOREEEE. The parts that hurt hurt soo much and the parts that are normal somehow hurt too! I'm not a very emotional reader, but if you are, you will cry reading this EL O EL

vicodin on sunday nights by lykak | 118k | High school AU | Homophobia

You guys. This is the real enemies to lovers. Like! ARGH, Lance has sooo many issues it's not even funny and Keith's existence hurts him it's not even a rival thing. And somehow something beautiful blossoms out of it. Lots of fights, realizations, bonds being made, so much! Truly shows the ups and downs of a closeted high school jock.

kick at the darkness by ilgaksu | 61.2k | Dirty Dancing AU | 1960s US issues

I fucking love learning things from a fic. Actual educational fic. Love an author who knows things, so much things, to the point that the fic is deadly accurate. Also, the prose is insane. Beautiful. This fic deals with real life issues during the 1960s in US. We see issues with money, power, race, gender, sexuality, etc. It's all explored. Also...dirty dancing au!

heavy is the head that wears the crown by ShatterinSeconds (1/2 | 12,962 | Teen And Up)

Carding back his soaked hair to see better, Lance refuses to let their previous conversation die and pokes Keith in the chest. “If I can’t come to your funeral, I’m at least in your will, right? I need something to compensate for your stupidity.”

“Yeah, upon my death, my kingdom is bequeathed to you,” Keith replies, almost too seriously for Lance’s taste.

“I know you’re joking.”

“Am I?” Keith raises an eyebrow, beginning to wade towards the shore.

“Come on, Keith.”

“Well I’m not planning on dying young so you’ll never find out anyways.”

TO GRASP AT STARS (AND LIE THE EARTH BENEATH) by ShatterinSeconds | 2/2 Chapters

RATING && TAGS: Teen and Up Audiences // multiple settings + immortal au + vampire!keith + witch!lance + friends to lovers + married at present timeline, pining at the others

SUMMARY

“I missed you.” Keith’s words break through the flow of thoughts in Lance’s mind--a sudden breath of fresh air unexpectedly batting Lance in the face.

The corners of Lance’s eyes crinkle. “Yeah?”

“Mm.” Keith’s finger circles the top of his glass, ice cubes clinking together. “It’s boring on my own.”

“Is that why you invited me here?” Lance arches an eyebrow; he has never seen the vampire quite so hesitant before. Never this vague.

“We keep letting too much time pass us by,” Keith begins with an explanation but leaves too much dead space between his thoughts that Lance has to fill in.

“I have a feeling this is more than a little reunion.”

(or a story about two immortals finding each other over and over again)

EXCERPT

“You’re actually terrible,” Lance needs to comment on the obvious.

A glare is sent his way. “What point of ‘I do not know how to dance’ did not get through your thick head?”

“I thought you were being modest,” Lance replies honestly, “But you’re awful; this is fantastic.”

“I’m glad you’re amused.”

“You’re such a delight to be with,” Lance says, eyes wide, “And I mean that in the least sarcastic way possible.”

“You’re going to be the death of me,” Keith mutters with a short laugh.

Lance shakes his head with a grin. “You’re already dead, love.” He spins them around when the beat of the music calls for it, cutting off any response Keith may have.

MY COMMENTS

Hold on, give me a second. I need to scream.

25) Favourite part of writing

Oof, creating and characters interacting with each other, making close relationships, friendships, family bonds and found families.

I love love love platonic affection and love and brotherly love so to be able to write what I wanna read about and stuff like that it’s really nice.

It’s hard to point out at the moment, but I really do love writing there’s something just so…freeing being able to write something from scratch and it’s always new, unique. It’s really fucking wild.

38) Weirdest story idea you’ve ever had

I DON’T KNOW WHY (BUT IT’S GOT SOMETHING TO DO WITH YOU) by ShatterinSeconds | 1/1 Chapters

RATING && TAGS: Mature // alternate universe — modern setting + enemies to friends to lovers + pining!lance + fluff + slight smut

SUMMARY

Catching Lance staring, the man lifts a hand to wave, a small smile on his face. It’s adorable and Lance hates it, so he flicks up his middle finger and promptly goes back to restocking the shelves.

(a fic somewhat about bath bombs but mostly about two people falling in love)

EXCERPT

Lance holds in a breath. “I want your recipe for picadillo.”

“And why is this? I don’t lend those out to just anybody,” but she’s already turning around to find her recipe box that is usually tucked away in some drawer.

“I know, mamá, but I need-- want to impress someone.”

The box is blue and worn and Lance once decorated the cover in miniature lions with a skill only a five year old child can possess. He’s flipped through that little box so many times as a child. “I will only give it to you if I get to meet…”

“Keith, his name is Keith. And you will; we just actually need to have a first date first,” Lance ends with a laugh, taking the stained card from his mother’s outstretched hand. The directions are written in Spanish and Lance smiles as his hands trail over his native language in his mother’s familiar script. He’s missed not being able to speak it every day.

“This boy better treat you right, mijo, and you better treat him right in return.”

“He does and I do; don’t you worry about that.”

“The name’s Lance, by the way,” he begins to prattle on, “Not that you seem to care. You have very little manners, don’t you? My mamá would be disappointed in you, but since she raised a perfect son, I’m going to apologize for not introducing myself earlier, though you did invade my space. Honestly, you think a necromancer would be wise enough to check for ghosts first, but apparently not. I--”

“What the hell do you want?” Keith asks, rubbing the bridge of his nose.

Lance rolls his eyes, drifting forward until Keith’s breath begins to frost in front of him because of their proximity to one another. “For you to bring me back to life of course, duh.”

Thanks for the Prompt! I was so excited when I saw it.

FirstChristmas

“Remind me again why we aredoing this,” Zuko grumbled while he held his girlfriend by the waist as shestepped up the ladder to hang Christmas lights right above the doorway to theirapartment.

“Because,” Katara blew astrand of hair out of her face, “this is our first Christmas together in anapartment of our own. We’re going to make it special.”

Zuko muttered a commentunder his breath about how there was no need to go this all out.

“What was that?”

“Nothing. Hurry up andfinish.” He tries his hardest to ignore the lady down the hall who was beamingat the young couple. Unfortunately, his face was already heating up, and therewas no way he could stop it.

“I’m just about done.”Katara hung up the last strand of light and turned to Zuko. “Catch me.”

“What?” He barelyregistered what she said before Katara’s body collided with his.

He stumbled back andquickly held her beneath her shoulders and her knees.

“Are you insane?”

“Maybe a little bit.” Shegiggled and gave him a peck on the nose, turning his face redder than it wasbefore. “Come on, we have to set up the tree now.”

Zuko groaned and followedKatara into their apartment, slamming the door behind them.

Katara rolled her eyes. “Insteadof being grumpy, why don’t you help out?”

“I have been helping. Iwas holding you the entire time, and I’ll labor through it some more if you askme to.” He wrapped his arms around Katara’s waist and pulled her back into hischest.

“Hey!” She tried to breakfree from his grasp. “We don’t have much time left to get these things done. Wehave to shop for presents tomorrow. Sokka and Suki will be here next week withtheir kids.”

“We’ve got seven days.That’s plenty of time.”

“Six if we waste today,”Katara mumbled.

“Fine. Just let me holdyou a little longer.”

Katara relaxed in hisarms, and he felt her lace their fingers together. “Okay. But just for a fewseconds.”

Zuko smiled and pressedhis face against the crook of her neck. His arms tightened around her.

They stayed like that fora lot more than a few seconds. At one point, Katara had turned around in hisarms so that she was holding him as her head rested on his shoulder.

Suddenly, Zuko could notwait to spend the holidays with the woman he loved in the apartment that theyowned. All he had left to think about was the smell of coffee in the air, theircat rubbing against his ankle - offended that she was not a part of thisembrace – and Katara’s fingers curling around his shirt.

Zuko pulled back to grabher face and kissed her, lingering on the taste of gingerbread on her lips.Katara stood dazed by his sudden affection.

Zuko placed his hands onher shoulders and grinned. “Let’s get back to work then. Like you said, we’vegot no time to waste.”

Katara was confused bythis change of heart, but she matched his enthusiasm anyways.

Zuko walked towards thebox filled with lights and ornaments with a newfound joy. This was important toKatara, so he vowed to make it special. She will be happy, so this nonsense wasworth it.
