Sheith | Frat AU | Explicit | 19k

Matt drags buttoned-up birthday boy Shiro to a frat party, and he gets a little tipsy, makes a wish, confesses feelings to his crush, and receives the dicking down of his life (mostly in that order).

I wrote a fic where Keith is a nerd who cosplays as Gerudo Link and Shiro is a frat boy who is stupid horny for him.

#sheith | galra keith | 59K | COMPLETE 

Terminally ill but full of hope, Takashi Shirogane accepts a one way ticket to the remote telescope base on Kerberos, fully prepared to die in space. 

 Instead, he learns to live.

Omg, Hawkeye Sheith!!!

1: Inspired by grem's truly inspired prompt, it was that simple! They wanted sheith with the same energy as the Hawkeye comics by Matt Fraction, which I had not read at all but the ask was so deliciously specific that I was intrigued. Also I love a good mashup, I love superheroes, so I was pretty sure I was game.

What I found blew me away, honestly. Way exceeded expectations! I don't want to spoil in case someone sees this and wanted to check out the series but there's some really innovative stuff in there! Whole issues told from unique POVs, HoH rep, really stunning storytelling, and a deeply relatable flawed hero having ordinary life problems (on top of superhero problems).

I decided to reference as many bits as I could. I especially wanted to get sheith into a specific scenario from the comics, one where Shiro comes crawling into his window late at night and Keith is sitting there in the dark 😒 waiting to read him the riot act.

5: The hardest was the opening action sequence. For context, each issue starts with the same words: "So, this looks bad." 😅

I wanted that same chaotic, fast-paced feeling where everything's already in motion before any of it is explained, but damn that's hard to pull off when writing is your medium! I do like how it turned out, but I rewrote that action sequence many times and workshopped it with several people so it was not easy to get there.

Shiro's great escape, falling from a building while still lashed to a chair? That's another Clint Barton classic:

11: My favorite thing about the fic is that Shiro is such a Keith simp in his head. And it wasn't hard at all to do that Hawkeye-style because, lo and behold, Clint is one hell of a simp, too. I read this page screaming at the way our hero introduces us to his younger protege by waxing poetic about how deadly she is.

Romance is not dead, people:

Did I ever tell you why I love Kate Bishop? I'm mean, look at her. She's perfect.
