Summary
Matt Holt has been quietly in love with his best friend for as long as he can remember, and had to watch as he fell in love with someone else. He can deal with that. Shiro’s happiness is most important, after all.
When they’re both selected for the Kerberos Mission, it’s a dream come true. Then Adam leaves Shiro, and it’s like that dream has fractured. Matt’s there for his friend – he always will be – but six months in space with broken hearts leads to a lot of spilling emotions.
It’s there, in the void of the cosmos, that Matt discovers his feelings may not be as unrequited as he’d thought.- Language:

Summary
The sky rumbles, and the metal poles supporting the awning above Keith rattle. Shiro's boots splash in the puddles, but he doesn’t seem to notice as he slows to a stop in front of Keith, still holding the umbrella.
Keith doesn’t look at him. He avoids eye contact, glowering at the ground again, except now all he can see are Shiro’s boots.
Great.
____or: Keith runs off. Shiro is grieving. They find each other in the rain.

Summary
“He’d have an easier time of it if there were somebody to mentor him,” says the General. He looks at Shiro sidelong. “I understand you’ll be stationed here for the next few years.”
Shiro thinks of the flinch, and he knows already there's only one answer he can make.
"What can I do?"
Five years before Voltron, three years before Kerberos, Shiro finds Keith, and Keith finds a home.

Summary
Cheesy power ballads, refrigerator light and unruly hair across taupe eyes. A study of gold in repose. Keith doesn’t want to admit that it’s everything he’s ever wanted. An end-game.
It wasn’t. It wasn’t worth the price. The indents of the blade’s grip are as familiar to Keith as the pattern of Shiro’s breathing in sleep. He raises the blade high, overhead, an executioner awaiting the sentence. Shiro’s lips move – part to speak, whisper out a name. His own name. Nothing is worth this.
This is what it means to gamble and lose. This is what it means to lose everything. “I couldn’t protect you.”The admission is quiet, almost silent amidst the humming of energy in the platform’s once-dormant machinery. Shiro stares at him in horror – and Keith, he gets it. To have someone finally see him for what he was – is. All too willing to pay any price. “But I could protect everyone else if I do this.”
This is how you lose him, the voice in his ear whispers. Goads. Seethes. It sounds like his father – like his mother. Most of all, it sounds like Shiro. This is how you lose him all over again.

Summary
Keith would never regret getting expelled and coming to live in his dad’s old shack.
He didn’t have to worry about food. He knew how to live off the land, how to hunt, how to ration old military supplies. He knew how to find water, how to filter it, how to survive. He had no money to his name, but he knew how to survive. He could explain all sorts of survival techniques and ways to be safe in the wild.
What he couldn’t explain was why he was currently breaking back in to the Garrison.
or: Keith breaks back into the Garrison to steal spare parts and ends up running into faces new, familiar, and very familiar.

Summary
But worst of all is the unguarded expression on his face, the picture frozen in the moment just before he’d composed himself. Keith’s heart thumps uncomfortably as he takes it in, the wistfulness and naked affection as he gazes up at Shiro.
It’s embarrassing, how easy his expression in the photo is to read. He’d been right to snatch that photo away. He’s looking at Shiro like – like –
One week out from leaving Earth on a long-term mission, Keith finds an old photograph of him and Shiro.

Summary
Occasionally he would look over to see Keith’s eyes drooping, his head dropping slightly. Finally, an hour later when Shiro looked up to rub at his eyes and the words on the paper were starting to blur together, did he realize that Keith had finally fallen asleep.
His head was buried in his arms but Shiro could see enough of his relaxed face and the way his back rose and fell slowly to tell that he was passed out.
*
Keith overworks himself and Shiro and Adam are determined to get to the bottom of just why he does so.

Summary
Perhaps, when Keith first found out he would be taking Shiro's place as the pilot of the Kerberos Mission, he should have known something would go wrong. They always did when good things happened.
Perhaps, when the people closest to Katie were the farthest from her they'd ever been, she should have guessed it wasn't quite as perfect as it seemed. She'd become quite adept at detecting flaws, anomalies, and all manner of bugs.
When Shiro broke the good news to Keith, it seemed as if things were finally looking up for the kid. And for a while, that was true. But he couldn't have known what would happen on that ill-fated mission. He couldn't have prepared the mission crew for it, or made some far-fetched attempt to shield them from it. The reality of it will haunt him, regardless.
Post-Landing explosion. Yeah right.
The universe sure loves its give and take.

Roleswap AU, but NOT an age swap! Keith is still Shiro's mentee, still younger, and Lance still fancies himself Keith's rival. But Keith gets selected to replace Shiro when Shiro is declared unfit for the mission. Really interesting seeing how this one plays out and looking forward to seeing ripple effects.
Oh yeah, Keith and Pidge are in a secret relationship, too.

Summary
Keith shifted his jaw just enough to dislodge the gauze. It was red with blood and saliva as it fell to the floorboard, and when Keith saw it fall, he let out an unholy screech.
“Keith! Keith? What’s- whats wrong?”
“M-My tongue!” He exclaimed, “it fell out.”

Summary
First-year Garrison cadet Keith Kogane stands out like a shark in a tidal pool. Ruthless. Explosive. Focused. Rude. The other cadets can’t beat him, so they try to take him down any way they can.
Despite the constant churning of rumors and accusations surrounding Keith, Senior Officer Takashi Shirogane offers to mentor him, showing the boy kindness and patience. Slowly, Keith is drawn out of his defensive shell. Slowly, he learns to trust Shiro.
But time is running out.
Tonight, the Garrison will be infiltrated by a group of anti-space militants and Shiro is at the top of their hit list. Unfortunately for them, Keith isn’t even on their radar. And there is no way in hell he is letting his friend die tonight.
Or: my take on how Shiro first finds out what Keith is capable of.

And isn't that just great for his ego. It doesn't help that sometimes the other blades give him these back pats in the hallway every time they come back from Keith's heat leave. It's like sucking at t-ball all over again, except it's an eight foot galra who probably has a dick the size of his thigh telling him he'll get it next time, champ.

Summary
Keith doesn't like the Garrison uniform. But that doesn't mean he can't have a little fun with it as he tries to distract himself from the days counting down until the Kerberos launch and the pilot it's taking away from him.
