Me, Shipping What I Want, Ignoring Antis:

Fics where one or both of them are teachers? Preferably complete ❤

Give Me a Sign - avidbeader @avidbeader

ongoing, ¼ chapters, 4k. (Mature).

Shiro is the new science teacher, still dealing with some culture shock in adjusting to a school four times the size of his previous one. At graduation, he’s still meeting other teachers for the first time, including his first look at one of the ASL interpreters.

It’s Purely Educational, I Swear - cherryburlesque

10k. (General).

Keith is a volunteer at the school library, where he holds reading sessions for the kids who might not normally read otherwise. His motivation for being there is solely, one hundred percent genuinely focused on encouraging creativity and imagination in his young charges.

The smoking hot Kindergarten Teacher has absolutely nothing to do with it. Really.

Storytelling and Honey Buns - Holyangelheart @holyangelheart

11k. (Teen). Contains: minor Lotor/Allura.

Keith is a librarian at the local library but every Friday he volunteers his day towards reading for the kindergarten classes at the Garrison Elementary school nearby. For a year Keith continued to read to the kids, but one teacher always caught his eye.

It was nothing but a crush, but after Mr. Shirogane asks Keith if he wanted a honey bun, Keith finds himself second guessing that.

Ride My Firetruck - otayuriistheliteralbest @otayuriistheliteralbest

2k. (Explicit). Contains: NSFW content.

Keith takes his students on a field trip to the firehouse to learn about fire fighters and the lieutenant giving the tour is entirely too hot for his own good, especially when he slips his number into Keith’s jacket pocket, telling him to call him later…

Heart, could we bear the marvel of this thing? - Szoraya @szoraya

19k. (Mature). Contains: NSFW content, background Allura/Lance

“Healthy snacks. You got it.” Shiro nods, doing his best to look as devoted as the woman with the pumps and the Victoria Beckham-hairstyle did talking to Keith before. “I prepare Kiki’s lunchbox myself, and I always make sure she eats a varied diet and gets her, you know, five-a-day. You can count on me. You can count on us for sure.” Another nod for emphasis.

Keith’s mouth twitches.

“I must’ve heard wrong today when she complained about how her dad can’t even prepare frozen tater tots without burning them, then.”

-

Shiro magically discovers that he’s very much a PTA dad when his daughter starts first grade. It has nothing to do with her teacher, Keith, unrighteously hot for a stupid name like that. Obviously.

Sweater Vests & Cigarettes - marmorashadows (onecharredwings) @pining-sheith

38k. (Explicit). Contains: NSFW content, mentions of abuse & suicide

Takashi Shirogane is a sensible man who drives a sensible car and has a sensible job – that is, until he meets Keith Kogane.

The AU where Shiro is a professor and he thinks Keith is a student. But he isn’t.

no one else has ever fit the equation quite like you - janie_tangerine @janiedean

39k. (Teen). Contains: Hunk/Lance

in which college maths professor Shiro takes a break from teaching after an accident that almost lost him an arm, but in order to keep himself occupied accepts to supervise the maths class for the local community college. He doesn’t expect to find in between his new students Keith, one of the uni’s janitors (incidentally, the one he might have been crushing on for a while, to his TA’s amusement). Then it turns out the guy isn’t just good at maths - he’s actually beyond gifted. Shiro might be over in his head here.

(Or: the sort-of-Will-Hunting-inspired AU you probably didn’t know you wanted.)

Found this on a subreddit and I nearly fucking choked.

Do I have an idea for this ballet au? No. Willl I stop drawing it? Neverrrrrr

SPOILERS

I love Lance’s family. XD

Hey! I was wondering if you know a specific fic where Keith can read minds and see people's lies in different colors. He gets together with Shiro because Shiro is honest all the time. :) I've been digging for it for the past couple of hours but just can't find it anymore

You’re looking for:

Context - Lycoria @lycoria

14k. (Teen).

Keith never met anyone that didn’t tell a lie.

Until he met Shiro.

In which Keith is a mind-reader with a serious mistrust of people, and Shiro refuses to ever tell anything besides the unabashed truth.

They have the perfect birthday party setup: family, cake, decorations. Now Keith just needs to figure out how to pop a certain question.

@disloyalpunk​ has her own ao3, but her domestic whole foods au is only on tumblr so far! It’s precious, and Shiro and Keith have a son named Tamaki.

Thanks so much for all the recs! I was wondering if you knew of any fics about Keith and Shiro stranded on a planet, or trapped somewhere, like in s2ep1 (it could be fics about that one too!) I read 2 fics like this ('for every evil' and 'the sun forgives the clouds') and couldn't find more. Sorry if there's a tag already! couldn't find one

Here’s the ones referenced in the first ask, for those not familiar with them:

For Every Evil - A_Lonely_Soul (ImpendingExodus) @impendingexodus

41k. (Teen).

Between a crashed ship, attacks from alien dragons, and no hope of rescue any time soon, Keith and Shiro are stranded on a backwater planet. To make matters worse, Shiro falls victim to an illness that renders him incapable of moving or speaking. Trapped in close quarters, Keith has to somehow keep them both alive, wondering if this will be the day that their friendship breaks… or turns into something entirely new.

the sun forgives the clouds - cabinfever

ongoing, 4/7 chapters, 38k. (Teen). Contains: graphic violence.

Diplomatic missions aren’t supposed to send the Black Lion tumbling towards an alien planet in the middle of a blizzard. They’re not supposed to leave Shiro struggling to keep up. But this one does, and the storm isn’t changing.

So they wait.

 Absently, he reaches up and places his hand on Keith’s cheek. That’s how you comfort people, right?

 Keith’s eyes widen, and one of his hands raises to take Shiro’s by the wrist, gently guiding it away. “You’re delirious, I think,” he murmurs.

And here’s more in the same vein:

Stranded - UrsaeMinoris @ursae-minoris-world

3k. (General).

This is a missing scene from “Across the universe” (s2 ep1). Aka my answer to the well known question of : where did Keith and Shiro find wood to make that fire at the end of the episode ?In which Keith makes sure Shiro is safe, before exploring their surroundings to find water, food, and what they will need for surviving while trying to contact the rest of the team.

 Panting, Keith slowly unfolded his fists, which hurt from gripping the Black Lion’s piloting sticks so hard, and dragged his hand across his sweaty forehead. The lizard creatures were all gone, and Shiro was safe. For now. He needed to check on him. He patted the console and whispered : “ Thanks, Black. We saved him.”He felt a rumble that sounded like a very low purr - almost infra-sounds.

Frieren - CrypticGabriel

4k. (Explicit).

Shiro and Keith go on a mission together scouting out a frozen planet. When the power shuts down and they’re left freezing while waiting for help, they’ll have to do something to keep warm.

sugar and spice and everything ice (the fuck-or-freeze remix) - leftishark

3k. (Explicit).

When Shiro and Keith are stranded on an ice planet, they’ll have to do something to keep warm. What Keith doesn’t realize is that it’s something neither of them have done before.

“—and I know I’m younger, but I’m not that young. Plenty of people have sex when they’re 18.”  

“Have—”

“Sex, yes. I know what it is.”

The Last Time - Spacenerdboi

3k. (Explicit). Contains: trans Keith.

(Taking place in season two episode one) Shiro is badly injured and thinks this will be his last day alive. He and Keith are stranded, so they do what any couple of men would do if they spent months pining for each other silently and think they’re going to die; they make love.

let’s start at the end - perfectlyrose @perfectlyrose

7k. (General).

Keith looks up sharply. “Why do you care?” He hates that his voice breaks over the last word.Shiro looks gutted, hovering several feet away still. “Because you’re my friend,” he answers. His voice cracks too, but Keith doesn’t find any solace in it.Keith bites down hard on his lower lip. “No,” he says after a moment, staring Shiro down. “You don’t get to say that when you’ve treated me like a stranger for months. Months, Shiro.”

Things have been tense between Keith and Shiro for months when they end up stranded on an alien planet together. With nothing to do but wait out the storm, something has to give.

Things I Learned From Jurassic Park - Kenda1L

7k. (Teen).

When Keith and Shiro find themselves stranded on a planet after being attacked by the alien equivalent of Pterodactyls, they have two main goals: to survive, and to find away off the planet before they end up like extras in a certain dinosaur franchise.

***A warm hand lands on his shoulder and squeezes reassuringly. “Hey, it’s okay,” Shiro says. “We’ll put out a distress beacon. It’s not like this is an abandoned quadrant. There’s bound to be a ship passing by soon enough. And in the meantime, we have water, and plenty of vegetation around.” He quirks a wry smile. “On the We’re So Doomed scale, this barely rates a two.”

 Until the other dinosaurs come for us, Keith thinks.

Breathless - velocitycat @velocitycat

4k. (Teen).

Shiro and Keith are stranded on a toxic planet that is slowly killing them. Can team Voltron rescue them before the clock runs out on them both?

Not long after they’d crashed, it became apparent that some element of the red dust was especially toxic to Keith. Shiro suspects it has something to do with his Galra DNA. He’d pulled Keith out of the red lion just before she’d been buried, but those few minutes of exposure to the storm as they’d retreated inside the black lion had taken a toll.

I’ll Always Love You - MarmoraKeef

2k. (Teen). Contains: major character death.

The confession came when the team was split apart in the wormhole, leaving Shiro and Keith stranded on a rocky planet. After saving Shiro, Keith pulled him into a soft but firm hug. “Shiro… don’t do that again. I can’t lose you. I love you.”

He expected Shiro to push him away in disgust, but instead he felt a hand lifting his face. Lips pressed against his and they shared their first kiss at sunset on a barren world.

Drowning With You - Angelicat2 @iamstuckinfandom

2k. (Not rated). Contains: temporary character death (drowning).

Stranded on another planet, it’s Shiro’s turn to save Keith. There’s no man-eating monsters this time, just a large puddle of water, pouring rain, and a metal trap that refuses to let go of Keith.

“Keith-” there was so much I wanted to say, but the water licked at his chin. I couldn’t risk pulling him up any further because the weapon tethering him down would only grab tighter. Another shiver passed through his body as he grunted again. Seconds later, he coughed as some of the water lapped into his mouth.

Burning Skies - Ithiel_Dragon @ithiel-dragon

34k. (Explicit).

After being thrown from the wormhole mid escape Keith and Shiro end up stranded on a hostile alien world.  Keith must find a way to contact the Castle of Lions for help before the wounds Shiro received in the fight against Haggar kill him.

Keith and Shiro are stranded for the night, and Keith watches over Shiro while he gets some much needed rest

Pressure Suit - CheshireCity @cheshirecity

116k. (Explicit). Contains: intersex Keith.

Keith and Shiro don’t have time to be stranded on a foreign planet, not with their friends scattered to unknown places and Zarkon dogging their every move. They especially don’t have time to deal with the shared past they Do Not Talk About or the complicated feelings stretching between them. Even more so with the Galra closing in on them, Shiro’s PTSD resurging when it’s least convenient, and Keith’s increased introversion and social withdrawal. But forced together by circumstance the two paladins soon find that they are less alone than they seem and come upon a surprising discovery.
