Summary
Usually that look of distrust, of distaste, is rooted in the Galra blood. In the near-expectation people have that one day he’s going to lose himself to it.
But he’s never had them look at him like this because of his father, before. Because he dares to call himself human, because he dared to survive.
It’s worse. Somehow, this is so much worse.

(OR: hurt people hurt people, and after the war, there is plenty of hurt to go around. Keith's burden was set in stone the moment Krolia crashed down to Earth.)

Summary
“Keith?” Matt asks quietly, and it’s in a private comm, like he’s anticipating a heavy conversation. “Keith, are you alright?”
And isn’t that just a wonderful question. What’s he supposed to say? Yes, I’m doing spectacular, which is exactly why I just tried to ram my ship into a force field knowing full well I would die.
“Fine,” Keith says. “I’ll be fine.”
______or: Season 4 from Keith's perspective.

But if he leaves, all of him will be undone.

Summary
Two years he's been alone. Just him, his mom, and his dog.
He didn't... He could have asked for a hug, he supposes, but there were always more pressing concerns. Food to find, water to haul, fires to watch. He went whole days without even seeing Krolia, and most of their conversations revolved around the practical.
(One part exploration of Keith & Krolia's missing years, one part healing after the fact featuring simultaneously touch-averse and touch-starved Keith.)

Your Touch Was A Dream (Your Absence A Nightmare) by negativefouriq
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender
11 Feb 2023
Tags
Summary
Keith has it made. He comes home from work every day to Lance’s beaming smile and gentle teasing about the grease on his clothes. He’s got everything he’s ever wanted. He’s happy. So fucking happy.
Except that things have been a little different, recently. For the past few weeks, he’s been coming home to his usual smile and kiss, but the idle chattering or excited rambles — Keith feels as if they’ve become a rarity. Their home used to be filled with the sound of Lance’s voice, silent only when he’s reading or focused intently on something, eyes narrowed and tongue peeking out of his mouth.
Lance still looks happy. He still curls up with Keith on the couch after dinner, socked feet in Keith’s lap and three million blankets over his shoulders. He still sends Keith a myriad of heart emojis on his lunch break. Their sex life has not suffered.
But the lectures. The constant infodumps of whatever passing thing has grabbed Lance’s attention. They’re gone. And Keith’s devastated about it.
He misses Lance’s voice.

OR: One day Lance, the motormouth, the loud boy, the one who's always got something to say, stops talking. And Keith starts to feel like he can't live without it.Bookmarked by ArcReactorsandDragons

Summary
The reason why the shack was still standing, was because the Nevada wilderness was bleak and empty.
Open and sprawling, miles and miles of sand and rock with barely any rain each year. Nevada encompassed two deserts, the Mojave stretched across as one of the largest in the continent.
It was unremarkable, nondescript, and every cliff looked like the one before it.
Maybe that’s why the Garrison never found the shack, or maybe they didn’t care to look for it.
(Maybe that’s why the Paladins hadn’t either.)He didn’t have anything to do most days, nowhere to go, nobody to fight.
He ran, he took his knife and strapped on his boots (They were wearing thin and busting at the seams, leaving blisters that bled and bled) and just...ran.
Until his muscles burned and the air seared his throat and the closest thing to an adrenaline rush burned in his blood.(And when he found a cliff just high enough, just dangerous enough...he’d dangle his legs over the edge and scream until the coyotes would howl back.)

Summary
But Shiro doesn’t bring the sun, because that’s Keith. Keith is the one who brings warmth, hidden in the gentleness of his eyes and the curve of his cheekbones. The slope of his smile sets Shiro on fire.
Shiro doesn’t do that. Shiro brings clouds and shadows and rain that’s so fucking cold it seeps into his bones every day and turns them to ice, and it feels like he’s always just one misstep away from shattering against the ground.
God, how he wants to shatter.
In which Shiro and Keith come home from the war and help each other rebuild. Picks up right after Season 7.

occluding junction (and other incidences of biology) by Kieron_ODuibhir

Summary
Keith's solution to his steadily escalating problem is to hide it and hope it goes away. So instead of noticing what's the matter with Keith, everyone notices the steady escalation of his hiding.
It's only marginally an improvement. (It's not an improvement at all.)

When Does A Ripple Become A Tidal Wave? (When Does The Reason Become The Blame) by negativefouriq
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender
28 May 2023
Tags
Summary
“Oh, nothing,” Shiro says, distractedly pushing around his goo. He sounds blasé, unbothered, but Keith recognises this tone of his, as rare as it is to hear it — the passive aggressiveness, the snooty way he speaks when he’s too furious to even yell, and just wants to make everyone around him feel stupid. “I just figured the person who abandoned her infant son without so much as a note is someone of the more irresponsible and immature variety. That’s all.”
Lance, who has never been capable of handling tenseness, stands abruptly and starts gathering the bowls and utensils of everyone at the table, regardless of whether they’re finished. Keith watches distantly as he quiets Pidge’s whining, firmly telling her to get up and bring it with her if she needs.
“She’s my mother,” Keith says through grit teeth. He pulls his gaze away from the red paladin, glaring at his brother. “I thought you’d be happy for me.”
Shiro finally looks up from his stupid goo, baring his teeth in a poor imitation of a smile.
“Thrilled,” he drawls.

Summary
Keith is not a fan of this supply run mission: the company (Lance, who won’t stop talking), the time waste (they should be looking for Shiro) and the shuttle (piece of junk next to the Lions). But when they crash and Keith is injured — and that might be understating it a bit but it’s hard to think and everything hurts and God make it stop— none of that matters anymore. What matters is that red is outside when it should be in and Lance’s hands and voice are so gentle but scared too and Keith is wondering if he’s ever going to see Shiro again. Otherwise… maybe he’ll see his pop.

when the night falls down (Keith is drunk and Lance is stupid) by ViolentlyRed

Summary
"Are... are you drunk?" Lance asks and Keith feels very loose.
He wipes his running nose on the back of his sleeve and sniffles. "No," Keith mumbles, although it's useless because yeah, he's drunk.
Or, Keith drinks and Lance cares and they do it together.

Warm Beings (running in circles, never leave me alone) by ViolentlyRed
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender

Tags
Summary
He’s not good at this, he hasn't slept in two days, the search for Shiro is sickeningly futile, and he feels very, very lost. (He has no idea what to do with that feeling.)
Or, Shiro is gone (again), the team worries, and Keith falls apart.
A collection of "off days" in their extremity.

Summary
Matt’s Rebel team has been captured for information only their injured commander has access to. Matt knows what will happen if it falls into the wrong hands. He knows and he’s so so sorry to Katie who he was just reunited with, but he has to do this. He got the distress beacon out though so someone should come rescue him before he’s tortured to death, right?
Meanwhile, Keith and his Blade of Marmora team receive said distress beacon, unknowing of the details. But, as Keith discovers, the details don’t matter. Only the life of a single commander does and that is who the Blades will be rescuing; not the other captured Rebels. Keith knows what he has to do and he’s sorry to Shiro and the other Paladins (although given how he left maybe… maybe this is for the best), but he’d rather go down rescuing an ally than abandoning them.
And by the time this rescue mission concludes… more than one person may end up saved.

Summary
Keith should tell them. He knows that he should. It's not "Good Teamwork" to keep secrets. It's not Trustworthy to hide things from your friends. It's not good war-time strategy to have a pilot that's fucking insane.
Keith knows this.
But he can't make himself say anything about it.
