26 Klance Fanfiction Recommendations

There is a heck of a lot of good Klance fanfiction out there. And while some may be easy to find because of how popular they are, there are many others that are buried in the depths of ao3 that I feel like more people should be reading!!

A lot of these are quite popular fics that you probably would have heard of already, but I hope there’s something in here that’s new, and that you’ll enjoy reading!

All are recommended for Teen And Up Audiences, so please be mindful!

Hi!

I’m Remmie. You may know me from my main blog (remmieismyname) or you may have just stumbled upon this jewel. Either way, welcome!

This blog is for my own OC universe, named “The Drink Universe”. I developed the first pieces of the universe in June of 2018 and it has since grown to be a big passion project of mine (whenever I find the time). I have plans to either turn my ideas into a series of books or maybe a TV show; you’ll just have to stick around to see. I hope you fall in love with these characters as I have in the past two years. These are my babies; treat them with kindness, please.

Now onto the bigger, more important questions.

- What’s “The Drink Universe” all about?

It primarily follows the four lives of four very different characters: Camila Flores, Lillian Park, Ely Fey, and Jeremiah Midlin.

Camila Flores (she/her) comes from a large family background as the more overshadowed middle child. However, it doesn’t bother her, as long as her family is content with her and her accomplishments (if there are any). She struggles with who she is (bisexual and maybe, just maybe in love with her best friend) and how people see her. The idea of the future terrifies her as she worries she will never live life to its fullest. She makes sure to hide her fears in favor of keeping those she cares about happy; since that is top priority.

Lillian Park (she/her) has always known where she is going. The future gave her the greatest hope and served as the largest motivator for her success. However, she can never anticipate when a roadblock with appear to knock her off the path; a terrible father, unknown family lineage, a suddenly absent best friend, lack of support, and so on. The surprises only add more weight to her bleeding shoulders and waning spirit, but she refuses to let it stop her. Hitting the surprises with her own curveballs, she knows she can beat the world that tried to destroy her.

Ely Fey (they/them) has never known who they are. Adopted by their maternal uncle, they were shoved behind two overbearing cousins dedicated to the arts. They walked the world alone and always seemed to walk in the shadows. Not that it bothered them; it was home to them. However, upon being shined on by the spotlight of other tortured souls, they start to search. Music draws the soul they can’t seem to show the world out. Leaving the sudden spolight behind, they find a new spotlight, hoping to finally understand just where they belong.

Jeremiah Midlin (he/him) comes from a perfect family. An assorted Disney movie breakfast every morning, fridge covered in years of children’s drawings, the halls covered in scheduled family portraits kind of family. He has always been within the reaches of his parents’ attention, but always just out of reach. His sisters are academic scholars and extracurriculars, while he only has his football and music. Football is the only known to his family. He hates lying, but it’s all he can do to not fall behind, left forgotten. Music gives him the outlet to tell all his secrets in the form of strong melodies and soft bellows of an acoustic guitar. Secrets he hopes to share in his own spotlight.

Complex? Maybe. Do I suck at summaries? I think I do, but that’s up to you.

- What are you going to post on here?

Shitposts!

No seriously, this blog will be me reblogging prompts, quotes, or funny scenarios that I think fit my characters or universe in general. This will also consist of my random 3 A.M brainstorms and thoughts, so be prepared for that.

Actual storybuilding!

Hah! Surprise! I will also post character notes, drabbles, and world designs. These will hopefully reveal more about this strange, strange universe I have created and nurtured. I take constructive criticism and highly invite it.

*Forewarning, since I do not have the time and skillset to draw, you will see me use the Sims 4 or other platforms like Picrew to create character models and world designs. I need the visuals to create the world. Do not clown me, please.*

- Give me more backstory.

Okay fine, pushy. This universe started at around 7 A.M on a cold June day, maybe 30 minutes before my Geometry summer class was going to start. It’s funny to say and admit that this could have very well been a Klance fanfiction, but I didn’t know how to write the two characters. We said make your own!

I thought of the first plot draft, which dealt primarily with body confidence and being proud of who you are, along with the first two characters. They were unnamed at the time but over the next week they earned the names Camila and Lillian. I made their first character models and soon had a double conflict plot. Over the next couple months of 2018, I added small details and bigger subplots, such as Jeremiah (yes he was a subplot at some point; he evolved). I drew Ely on accident in my Chemistry Honors notebook, and just gave them main character status. I was chaotic and thriving. Especially when I spent 3 straight hours creating a 16 person family tree for just one character. Yeah, I did that.

Now, literally 2 years later, the small idea has turned into an entire universe. There are around 70+ characters with their own (not extremely detailed but almost too detailed for side character status) backstories and conflicts. The timeline spans over several decades, which means many stories to tell. The main four have grown and evolved to having their own character summaries! Improvement! Wow!

There is still more to be created within the universe but you’ll get to see it develop before your eyes from now on. Good for you!

- Why drinks?

There are two main “drinks” in the universe: Pink Lemonade and Raspberry Iced Tea. Pink Lemonade explores the lives of Camila Flores and Lillian Park. Raspberry Iced Tea explores the lives of Ely Fey and Jeremiah Midlin. There are many more “drinks” I have thought of in the time period since it’s creation but these two are the two that will show up the most often on this blog. You could say the “drinks” are like metaphors for the lives you unfold. Gulp it down baby!

Ohmygod! You made it this far? I love you already.

Take your crown, you absolute noble. Drink some water and eat a snack too. <3

I don’t even know where to start with vld s8, but I’ll try. Major spoilers ahead.

Overall, there really was a lot that I liked about it. The animation was absolutely stunning and the voice acting was stellar, as always. For the most part I liked the plot, but when they started going into the whole Honerva-wants-to-tear-through-realities-to find-her-family thing I started to get a bad taste in my mouth. I mean, I get it, I do. This kind of show is meant to get bigger and bigger until everything possible is on the line. But I wish it could have stayed on a smaller scale and focused more on the characters. Show more alien races, show more about all the amazing side characters you developed. That’s why I love fanfiction and fanart so much, I think. Most of the time it’s 100% dedicated to the characters. Shows like Voltron just use them as a device to get the most awe-worthy scenes.

As for character arcs, it’s a mixed bag, so prepare for character endgame rants ahead.

Haggar/Honerva must be one of the most disturbing and heartbreaking antagonists I’ve ever seen. The fact that she didn’t have any of her memories as Haggar and was used by Zarkon is horrifying. As Honerva, all she wanted was her life back. She wanted her son, that’s it. And when she went so far for him and he rejected her, she lost her shit. But that would have happened eventually even if he did initially accept her, I think. She was too far gone to live a peaceful life. I completely understand her arc. Do I wish it didn’t go quite so far? Yes. Do I get why it did? Also yes. Moving on.

Hunk and Pidge I love. Hunk gets to meld his love for food and cooking with his diplomacy skills to spread peace and unity. Pidge gets to keep working on the things she loves with her family.

No one else really has an easy endgame to discuss, so here comes the long ranty bits.

Shiro. Fucking... Shiro. I love this man, ok? I think he’s a fantastic character, and if I don’t think about the disservice to him and Adam then I love the fact that he is a strong gay man who is a leader. The fact that he is gay is a tiny tiny piece to his character. Which I think is important in media. He simply is, it isn’t something that defines him. But on the flip side of that, he is really fucking important representation. The show is aimed at little kids. Until the final snapshot of s8, it isn’t blatantly obvious that he is gay at all. Unless you’re really paying attention or you follow the fandom or the creators, you’d never know. Kids probably wouldn’t pick up on it. He is good representation, but think of how much better it would have been if they hadn’t killed Adam. He would still be that strong leader, still defined by his actions and trials, but it would be obvious that he was also a gay man. While I am a strong supporter of the fact that you do not need a human on your arm to validate your sexuality, I think that having Adam blatantly there as Shiro’s fiancee would have done wonders for kids watching the show. Seeing everything that Shiro did, everything that he went through, how strong he is and how great of a leader he is, and seeing that he just happens to be in love with a man and can still do all that? Wonderful. I’m happy for him, I’m thrilled that he gets a happy ending and gets married and leaves the fighting behind. I just wish that things had been handled better along the way to that.

Keith’s ending, I still can’t decide about. From the start he has been trying to make the universe a better place. He has had other trials and other goals along the way, but it’s crystal clear from the very first episode that he wants to make a positive difference. When Pidge tries to leave, he stresses that the lives of everyone in the universe is at stake. When he is with the Blades, he fights with them because he believes it’s where he can do the most good. When he’s back with Voltron, the knowledge that there are lives depending on him and the rest of his team is what makes him get up every time he’s knocked down. Family, friends, and the good of the universe have always been his three driving forces. He helps the Galra rebuilt, and(as Lance points out, in true Keith fashion) turns down the leadership role when he’s offered it. I like that a lot. He made peace with his Galra heritage a while ago, but other Galra always treated him like shit because he was half human. The fact that they finally accept him and even offer him a leadership role is huge. But he’s Keith, and Emperor isn’t his style. So he returns to the Blades and helps to turn them into an intergalactic relief force. That, I also like. He’s making a difference, just like he always wanted. Maybe it’s good that he can leave the warrior side of himself behind and appreciate peace, but at the same time it’s such an integral part of his character that setting down his sword feels a little... storybook? Part of me also would have liked to see him with his found family a little more, given how alone he was his whole childhood, but I suppose we do see them staying close through those snapshots at the end, and he is working with the Blades. I’m conflicted, but he’s my favorite character so of course I’m never going to think they did enough for him XD

Allura, I could write a whole damn book about, and I’d have to to be able to properly analyze her endgame. Maybe I’ll do that later. But for now, I’m fairly sure I’m ok with her story. I never thought that she’d make it out alive. She was never a character that I could see living happily ever after on a new Altea, as much as I would have loved that. We see foreshadowing of her sacrifice all through the show, from her constant willingness to put others first(numerous battles, restoring the Balmera, etc etc), to her acceptance of giving her life in Oriande. Actually now that I think about it, Oriande was the perfect foreshadowing of her death. In order to gain the secrets of Altean alchemy, she had to be willing to give her life. That’s the price of it. Alteans are creators. They are lifegivers, and sometimes that needs to be literal. As sad as it is, and as much as I would have loved to see her get to live a peaceful life on the new Altea with her people, I understand her sacrifice. As I stated in the beginning I wish that there hadn’t been the need to take Honerva’s mission so far, but in this type of show it’s kind of unavoidable. People get disappointed if the final battle isn’t an all out shit show where everyone barely makes it out. So respecting that, I understand Allura’s story and appreciate the buildup to it. Mostly.

And then there’s Lance. Pretty much everything about his ending pissed me off. We started the show seeing Lance as a fiery kid who wanted to be the best, wanted to become a great pilot and explore the universe. Now I understand that he went through absolute hell, he did become a great pilot and he did explore the universe. But a farmer? Idk, it just feels like a disservice to him. Maybe if he had had better arcs leading up to that, it would feel better. But as it is, instead of giving him the arcs he deserved, they used him as a gag character, slipped him in wherever they just happened to need someone, and stripped away everything that made him... him in the beginning. They reduced him almost completely to ‘loverboy lance,’ and I hate it. He spent all of season 6 wallowing and pining for Allura, most of 7 in the background(I will admit he had some great scenes in 7, but that’s another musing post), and literally all of 8 worrying after Allura. He has nothing to him in 8, bar a few scenes with Keith, than as a support for Allura. It’s like they scrapped any plot they had for him after like... season 5? And just devoted his character to being obsessed with Allura so that they could make it seem like his endgame was fulfilling. And before anyone has a chance to say he was obsessed with Allura since episode 1, sure. He did like her from the beginning. But he had substance beyond that. He had insecurities. He missed Earth. He had his goals and his desires and he was more than a lovesick kid. The fact that they think it’s ok to make him a fucking farmer ‘spreading Allura’s message and surrounding himself with things he loves’ pisses me off to no end. It seems like a great ending on the surface, but when you look deeper it’s awful. He’s what, 20? He loved Allura, sure. She was important, and it makes sense that he would love her and that a piece of him always would. But Lance isn’t built for the simple farmer life. He doesn’t deserve to be reduced to someone left in Allura’s wake, he deserves his own fucking story, his own individual goals and missions. Everything isn’t solved and finished by the fact that he got the girl and some altean markings before he lost her.

Then there’s Klance, but that deserves it’s own post lmao

tl;dr s8 was a mixed bag but Lance’s endgame is infuriating.

Rogue’s Fics Masterlist & FAQ

Due to the limitations of tumblr mobile in regards to custom pages and linking to tags in blog descriptions, I’ve created this post to serve as a (hopefully) mobile-friendly quick ref. This post contains links and descriptions of my fanfiction written for Voltron, Dragon Age II, and Rise of the Guardians. Several fics written for various other fandoms are not included here -- if you wish to find all of my material, please search the “roguefic” tag on my blog. Fair warning that some content/pairings may be potentially triggering.

Please find more information as well as the links/descriptions under the “Read More”.

---FAQ---

What fandoms do you currently write for?

As of 2017, I only write for the Voltron: Legendary Defender fandom.

What pairings do you write for in the VLD fandom?

I am a multi-shipper and pro-Shaladin (all characters are written as 18+ in my content). Primarily I write for Shance (Shiro/Lance).

What type of content do you typically write?

My content is generally pretty tame. I enjoy writing short, fluffy one-shots the most, though I have written chap fics and explored darker themes as well. I generally do not write a lot of NSFW, though on the occasions I do I will always label it as such.

Do you use content warnings?

Yes. I try to tag anything I think may be potentially triggering or squicky.

What’s your crosstagging policy?

I DO NOT crosstag -- meaning my fics featuring a ship(s) are not tagged with individual character names or gen tags, only the ship name. I do this out of respect for people who do not want to see shippy material when browsing a character’s tag or general fandom tag.

HOWEVER, due to tumblr’s shitty search function I cannot guarantee you won’t run across my material in certain tags. Search picks up words within a post in addition to the tags.

Do you take fic requests?

I am open to fic requests, though I cannot promise I will respond in a timely manner or at all, unfortunately. My ADHD and work schedule make writing somewhat of a challenging pastime. Also, I never have anon enabled, so you will not be able to submit a request anonymously.

---MY FANFICTION---

Voltron: Legendary Defender

Shiro/Lance (Shance)

Home is Wherever I’m With You (AO3) Rating: PG (will change when final chapter is posted) Type: Multi-chap/WIP Description: It’s been one month since Lance officially started dating Shiro, and he wants to celebrate the occasion. Things have been going great and their friends assure him Shiro is head-over-heels for him...but Lance can’t help but feel a little worried. If Shiro likes him so much, why haven’t they been intimate yet?

Smooth Rating: G Type: One-shot Description: Written for Shance Fluff Week prompt “First/Last”. Shiro and Lance meet for the first time. Modern AU.

All of You (AO3) Rating: G Type: One-shot Content warnings: Mention of scars Description: The team takes a day off to relax on a tropical beach planet, but Shiro doesn’t want to join in the fun. Lance suspects something is bothering him and tries to get him to open up, which leads to more than one secret being revealed.

Black & Blue & Red All Over Rating: G Type: One-shot Description: Modern AU. When Lance shows up to the gym with a limp and covered in bruises, Shiro assumes the worst (spoiler: It’s nothing bad! Nor anything kinky, surprisingly)

Guess Again Rating: G Type: One-shot Description: Keith confronts Lance about something he witnessed during a team mind-melding exercise…too bad he’s got the wrong culprit.

Keith/Lance (Klance)

Alone Again (Naturally) (AO3) Rating: PG Type: Multi-chap/WIP Description: In a world where people rely on auras to identify potential friends and lovers, Keith Kogane is considered a freak. He’s never been able to see another person’s aura, nor has anyone ever seen his. Of course he’d get stuck saving the universe with Lance McClain -- a romance-obsessed boy who has vowed to search the cosmos for the one whose golden aura marks them as his soulmate.

[Follows the canon VLD story with significant tweaks to events and characters. Tags/rating will be updated as needed. This is primarily a slow burn Klance fic, but features several other pairings as well. Please see first chapter notes for full details.]

Dragon Age II

Fenris/Anders (Fenders)

A Belated Lullaby (AO3) Rating: G Type: Multi-chap/WIP Description: After failing to save the life of a young mother, Anders finds himself in a rather inconvenient situation. Fortunately, he's not alone.

Jealous Rating: PG (no actual sex, but sexual references) Type: One-shot Content warnings: Alcohol use, jealousy/possessiveness Description: Insp. by this post: ‘we’ve been fucking with no strings attached but i just saw you go upstairs with another guy and im drunk and following you both upstairs to punch the shit out of him’.

Untitled Rating: G Type: One-shot Description: A short fill written for the following prompt featured on fenders-prompts: Hate!sex’s fluffy cousin: hate!cuddling. Anders and Fenris may not be each other’s biggest fans, but Anders’s panacea aura does wonders for Fenris’s markings, and Fenris’s lyrium calms down Justice and restores Anders’s strength better than a full night’s sleep. So whenever Fenris has a bad pain day, or Anders is exhausted from healing and Justice won’t let him rest, they cuddle. HATEFULLY.

Point of View Rating: PG Type: One-shot Notes: Also features Merill/Isabela (Merribela) Description: A short fill written for the following prompt featured on fenders-promptsnfills: Anders and Fenris are celebrities (of any type) who have a very public rivalry/feud/mutual hate going on. Tabloids love them, their fans are involved in an epic fandom war, everyone thinks it will one day end in violence…. until the day paparazzi catch them on a date/kissing/having sex/doing something unmistakably couple-y.

3 Fenders Drabbles Rating: PG-13 (NSFW/references to sex, but no explicit sex) Type: Drabbles Description: Written for the following prompts -- ears & neck, foreplay, hair.

WineWords Rating: G Type: One-shot Content warnings: Alcohol consumption Description: Fenris and Anders are in an established relationship. They manage to keep it under wraps until Fenris has a few too many drinks and makes out with Anders at the Hanged Man. Anders wishes he could take a dose of the same liquid courage to deal with his own little secret…

Unfair (AO3) Rating: G Type: One-shot Description: Anders pays Fenris a house call and gets an unexpected surprise.

All That I Can Give (AO3) Rating: PG Type: One-shot Description: After being in a relationship with Anders for six months, Fenris still isn't ready to tell their friends. Anders tries to reach a compromise.

Untitled Rating: PG Type: One-shot Description: Anders/Fenris, for the prompt: Imagine your OTP+ chilling out together in the summer. The temperature eventually rises so high that Person A decides to ditch their clothes and wear only their underwear. Person B follows suit. What happens next is up to you.

Flirting With Flowers Rating: G Type: One-shot Description: A short ficlet based on the “Imagine your OTP in a florist/tattoo artist AU” prompt. Featuring tattoo artist Fenris, florist Anders, and piercer Isabela. Fluffy pre-slash.

Fenris/Anders/Hawke (Fenhanders)

Fair Enough Rating: G Type: One-shot Description: Hawke tries to win Anders a prize at the fair, but he’s terrible at games. Fenris isn’t.

Rise of the Guardians/Guardians of Childhood

Pitch Black/Jack Frost (Blackice)

Tomb Lilies (AO3) Rating: R/Mature Type: Multi-chap, complete Description: Desperate to save the life of his sister, Jack promises himself as blood slave to a vampire named Pitch Black in exchange for her health. Unbeknownst to Jack, Pitch is an ancient, immensely powerful vampire that has become a threat to his brethren. When Manny, a vampire lord fearful Pitch's uncontrolled power will permanently unravel their society, hires a team of vampire hunters to kill Pitch, Jack has the chance to escape at last...but does he truly want to leave Pitch? Vampire AU, colonial era.

Black Celebration (AO3) Rating: Ranges from G to Mature Type: Collection of one-shots Description: Pitch reaches Jack before the Guardians and takes him on as an apprentice. Feelings develop after Jack begins to desire physical attention after three centuries in Pitch’s company.

Kozmotis Pitchiner/Jack Frost (Goldenfrost)

Concussion (AO3) Rating: PG Type: One-shot Description: Dr. Kozmotis Pitchiner gets a rather flirty patient.

The Dismantled Sky (AO3) Rating: R/Mature Type: One-shot Content warnings: Homophobia/homophobic violence, dubcon, implied character death Description: 1945. Kozmotis isn’t where he wants to be when it happens, but there’s a small comfort in having someone to suffer aside him. Originally written for BlackIce Week theme, “Post-Apocalyptic”.

Gen

Until the Clock Strikes Twelve Rating: G Type: One-shot Description: Pitch is stuck in the body and mind of a small child, with no recollection of who he is, until his next birthday. North takes Pitch under the protection of the Guardians, convinced that they can turn his life around if they shower him with love and affection for as long as they can. The only problem is, no one knows Pitch’s birthday, so there’s no telling when he’ll revert back. Jack & Pitch (friendship) centric.
