voltron fic recs july ‘18

fics added to my fic rec masterlist in july 2018. check out the link to the masterlist to see all my previous fic recs! happy reading ✨

‘Shiro and Keith’s Kickass Fighting Techniques’ by Lance McClain || skyestiel || Keith/Lance || T+ || 11.6k || chs. 1/1 (complete)

summary: 'And, really, it’s a pretty brilliant idea. Until Shiro’s Kickass Fighting Techniques quickly becomes Shiro and Keith’s Kickass Fighting Techniques. That’s when things start going downhill. Because soon enough, the bulleted list consists of more than just fighting techniques.’

or: Lance starts with one role model and ends up with two, a myriad of confusing emotions, and a notebook filled with condemning evidence which Hunk must never see

my notes: Really sweet and made me nostalgic for s1-era fics. Some good garrison!klance content which is my JAM. also the way it reinterprets canon scenes and blends them in with original scenes is really cool and feels so seamless. over all just super cute and funny and entertaining.

lungs || Dreamicide || Keith/Lance || T+ || 14.7k || chs. 8/8 (complete)

summary: After a near drowning experience as a child in which he doesn’t remember how he survived, Lance avoids the ocean he once loved. He doesn’t realize that’s where his savior lives.

Or: a slice-of-life story about a boy and his mermaid.

my notes: i adored this, it’s so sweet and magical! the combination of it being a childhood friends au and a mermaid au….wow i’m soft. keith and lance’s relationship is developed so well in this, and i love how it spans a long amount of time and how we get to see how the two of them change from year to year. a lot of really touching moments but also some really funny moments as well. 

Stormchasing || sinelanguage || Keith/Lance || T+ || 18k || chs. 1/1 (complete)

summary: This isn’t how Lance intended to spend his vacation, chasing after Keith’s premonitions. But here he is, and he’s one hundred percent blaming Keith for all the trouble they’re about to get into. Keith makes bad decision, Lance makes mistakes, and both of them are stuck together on a space pirate adventure neither of them asked for.

my notes: this fic had me at “space pirates” but yeah wow this is amazing. i loved the fast pace and epic/adventurous feel of it, plus it has really snappy dialogue and parts that made me laugh out loud. plus keith and lance are so well-written in it and have such a good and in-character dynamic. an instant fave.

the light the water reflects || auras || Keith/Lance || T+ || 3.2k || chs. 1/1 (complete)

summary: The boy has ocean-blue eyes, and a gaze that pierces through all the red.

my notes: a short one but super engaging and emotional. the writing is so beautiful and poetic.

someone i forgot to be || skyestiel || Lance & Shiro (platonic), Keith/Lance, Adam/Shiro || G || 1.6k || chs. 1/1 (complete) 

summary: “I wanted to tell hi— them how much I worried about them.” Shiro pauses, gaze wandering to some point in the distance. “But I had trouble admitting it to myself. And to them.”

“Why?”

“Let’s just say that… although it shouldn’t be an issue anymore, it is.” Shiro returns his attention to Lance. Staring straight into his eyes with staggering intensity.

Or: Shiro helps Lance confront puzzling emotions with reassurance and stories of the past.

my notes: a nice lil fic about lance turning to shiro for help when he realizes his feelings for keith, and shiro gives his advice based on his own feelings for adam. it’s just really sweet and heartfelt, i love this so much!

Coming Home || thearchangelofsass || Adam/Shiro || Not Rated || 4k || chs. 1/1 (complete)

summary: Shiro and team voltron have returned to earth and there’s one person Shiro desperately needs to find. But Adam has moved on from the Garrison and perhaps he’s moved on from Shiro as well. But after surviving the horror of Haggar’s experiments, there’s no way Shiro is leaving the love of his life up to chance. 

or

so I can’t stop crying about Adam and Shiro so here’s a fic where they reunite back on earth and are happy

my notes: adam and shiro reunite and talk things out. AAHH this fic made me tear up. the convo between them just feels really organic and believable, it made me so emotional.

What Makes a Team Great || Shedoras || Keith/Lance, Adam/Shiro, Adam & Lance (platonic) || G || 2.7k || chs. 1/1 (complete)

summary: A rare night off at the beach leads to an enlightening conversation between Adam and Lance.

my notes: this is sweet and beautiful and i couldn’t stop smiling! the shiro & adam backstory is so cute where they start off with a rivalry…and hearing adam’s story about it makes lance start to realize his own feelings for keith. beautifully written and i loved it.

also if you want something a little different, two series of ficlets that i absolutely love and it’s worth reading both of these in their entirety:

I don't think we as a society understand the importance of having someone like Taylor Zakhar Perez at the peak of success right now and I'm not even joking. A mexican man, lead actor in a queer romcom, who explicitly talks about the need in Hollywood to have more latinx stories, speaks out for queer rights, for trans rights, talks about the need to have more women in positions of power, philanthropist, he helps people with associations founded by him, he is smart and positive. He's a good person and god knows how much we need it in Hollywood right now.

Happy one year anniversary!

Thought it was gonna be a kinda tacky kids movie w gay knights and their shapeshifter kid but I am pleasantly surprised and found myself laughing out loud in my room lmao

Consent is a beautiful thing.

Remember Alex hasn't been with a man so intimately. Henry is his Northstar here. Henry let's Alex learn his body and needs in the most subtle ways. He let's Alex know that he is ready with that subtle press of the hand.

Alex's eyes don't leave Henry's even for a second . He doesn't know what Henry is comfortable with. He waits for Henry to let him know he can proceed further. Henry gives him the slightest of nods and then and only then does Alex proceeds.

They didn't leave out any sexual dynamic in these scenes. I'm so fucking glad we got this lovemaking scene.
