hey there! thanks for the amazing recs! do you have any musician aus? either Keith or Shiro, I'm not picky!
Ok, this is a popular ask, and we found a lot!
Alien Sex Fiend - Glossolalia @fenri
ongoing. 14/? chapters. 110k. (Mature). Contains: NSFW content, alcohol/drug use, self-mutilation.
It started at a drive-in in the 1980s. This isn’t a story about the immaculate conception that happens in the backseats of high school boys’ cars, nor is it the origin story for a New Wave-fueled cocaine addiction. That would be interesting. Unfortunately, this is a love story; a love story about the frontman of Quantum Queef, a punk band, and a boy who rides a red motorcycle. Also, they fight aliens.
Blackout and Silver Stars - psyraah @shiroganedefencesquad
65k. (Teen).
There really isn’t much more that Shiro can ask from life. He has a loving father, an amazing job, and his best friends touring the galaxies with him, playing their music to armies of dedicated fans. His job is wonderful and life is beautiful, so no, there really isn’t much more he can ask for.
But he meets Keith anyway. Keith with the cute smile and his quiet humour, Keith with the little secrets and hidden shadows, guarded so closely that Shiro doesn’t want anything more than to protect him.
Shiro hasn’t felt this out of his depth since he was seventeen, but he’s never heard a sweeter song.
But boys spring infernal - amorremanet @amorremanet
408k. (Explicit). Contains: implied/referenced self-harm, eating disorders, past abuse.
Keith’s a broke, autistic history student at Kaltenecker University. He has trauma he doesn’t acknowledge, a depressive downswing that he’s ignoring, his Mom’s old knife, and a support network of about two people (his ex-girlfriend, Allura, and Kolivan, his academic advisor). His life’s a mess and his apartment’s a shit-hole, but at least they’re his.
Then, Keith yells at the punk band keeping him awake at four in the morning and the last thing that he expected drops into his life. Namely: Shiro, with long hair and new scars, but clean, sober, and away from his abusive ex. Worse, Shiro seems happy to have found Keith again.
This joy wouldn’t be bad if it made sense, but to Keith, it absolutely doesn’t. Shiro shouldn’t want Keith back in his life after what happened between them in Chicago, and there is definitely no way that Shiro ever loved Keith back — right?
Tear Myself Away (From You) - edenaaa
4k. (Teen). Contains: background Kuro/Lance.
“You – you return my feelings…” Keith couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Shiro’s thumb began caressing his face, traveling from his cheek to the corner of his mouth and scarcely touching his bottom lip. “And you needed a song to admit it.”
“I guess we’re not as good at recognizing our feelings as I want us to seem,” Shiro murmured, the words exchanged between the almost nonexistent space between them too intimate.
“You’d better kiss me or else I’ll be seriously going mad.”
Paradise - Mikiri @mikiri
ongoing, 1/3 chapters, 3k. (General).
Music is a force that brings people together, that tells stories full of emotion, and it can do wonderful things. For Keith, it is a way to express himself, but also to make money for rent. For Shiro, it’s his life long dream, music is everything he is, and that is why he’s a conductor.
They fall into orbit around each other, like binary stars, never talking. Until one day, Shiro screws up the courage to finally talk to his favorite busker.
Matt? He’s just there to point and laugh.
The Heart and the Shape - Pyriphlegethons @pyriphlegethons
ongoing. 3/? chapters. 16k. (Mature). Contains: A/B/O dynamics, self-harm, drugs, background Hunk/Pidge and Allura/Lance.
Keith never expected heavy metal to look and sound so good.
(Shiro is the vocalist of a metal band, and Keith falls hard fast)
blue eyed baby - ShirosRedKnight @shirosredknight
763 words. (General).
voltron rockband!au. everyone wondering just who that love song shiro wrote is about.
- Caroline & Kel
Lance x happiness is the best ship❤❤❤
Y’all I uploaded the first chapter of my fic on AO3 if you could check it out and leave kudos that’d be great !
YOINK Ch 2 of my band AU fic is up, pls leave kudos if you enjoyed!
My first multi-chapter Sheith (Voltron) fanfiction has begun posting!!
K. Kogane is the author of the best-selling novel series Voltron: Space Pilots Save the World. He has become famous for his epic tales of space battles, intergalactic wars, and the most unresolved love arc ever created.
His fans have no idea that Keith has been basing the torturous love of his heroes on his own ill-fated love life.
Except one fan. The one who shares a name with one-half of the world’s favorite fictional ship.
AKA, the story where pining Keith writes Voltron to try to get over the fact that Shiro walked out of his life when he left for college and Shiro spends every day driving the poor Holts crazy with his own ridiculous pining.
Please check out Unwritten on Ao3!
Stories where Keith slowly starts trusting Shiro
Check these out:
Dirt and Iron - Stuff (rosegardenlake) @whoalookingcooljoker
131k. (Mature). Contains: torture, graphic violence.
Keith’s mentor, Krolia, has always warned him from the very beginning: show mercy to a vampire and you’re dead. They’re snakes, they’re liars, they’ll kill you if you’re stupid enough to ever give them a chance. As a beloved member of the Blade, Keith’s lived by this. He’s never had any reason to question Krolia. She’s always told him how his family was killed by them, after all.
Keith’s a good fighter. Krolia’s trained him into the perfect weapon. But when a newly turned vampire doesn’t fight back, Keith hesitates, and to hesitate is to be killed. But the vampire doesn’t hurt him. The vampire saves his life instead. And from that moment on, Keith is gone.
Maybe vampires aren’t as bad as he thought. Maybe Keith’s not who he thought he was. Maybe Krolia’s been lying to him all along.
like crashing in slow-motion - amorremanet @amorremanet
31k. (Teen). Contains: self-harm.
After losing the Grandfather who raised him, Shiro throws himself headlong back into life at the Garrison. Desperate to believe that everything is fine, Shiro focuses on his extra studies, on working as Commander Iverson’s TA, on anything but dealing with his grief or giving himself space to mourn. For the most part, his façade fools everybody. Unfortunately for his desire to avoid dealing with his problems, compartmentalizing and denial can only last so long before something has to give.
On the other hand is Keith. A driven cadet who’s earned everything that he has to his name, Keith sees Shiro as little more than a useless pretty boy whose family has a legacy with the Galaxy Garrison. As far as he knows, Shiro’s only gotten so far at the Garrison through a mix of dumb luck and nepotism. Keith’s perfectly content not to question any of his preconceived ideas about the Garrison’s resident golden boy. Unfortunately for his resolve, he keeps catching Shiro in vulnerable moments and spotting details that other people miss.
Visitor from the Sky - rosegardenlake @whoalookingcooljoker
10k. (Teen).
The Garrison has captured an alien. It’s the very first time.
Shiro is sleeping peacefully in his room at the Garrison when it happens, bundled warmly in dreams as light explodes through the night sky and the ground quakes and quivers. A mile away, in the darkness of the desert, a boy who’s not all human, but not all Galra either, stumbles from his shuttle, disorientated, looking for his father.
He’s apprehended immediately and it’s up to Shiro to get him to tell them what he wants.
-Cas & Kel
I’m cackling bc I’m reading this sheith tattoo shop au and it’s so good (there’s a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out. by crazyhomoinspace) and i just can’t get over a bit of dialogue, that paraphrased goes basically like this:
Lance: “What’s the worst thing you’ve done, huh? Stepped on a roach?”
Keith: “I broke a four hundred dollar flute over my knee and told my band director to eat my ass.”
Lance: “Imagine the look on Shiro’s face if he said something like that to him.”
Keith: “I wouldn’t. If I told Shiro to eat my ass, he’d do it.”
modern au: they love to talk to each other!!
Just beware.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Against my better judgment, I’ve decided to watch the post-credit scenes in the last episode before going to bed. (I’m not crying! You’re crying!) Here is everything~ (ALSO THE LEAKS WERE FUCKING REAL AND ALTEAN LANCE.) This is gonna be really long post you can murder me later if you want.
Now I just need someone to either murder me or cuddle me while I cry myself to sleep (my heart hurts). Goodnight, y’all.
(Also sorry about spoilers but I’m a loose cannon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
The End.
Since everyone seemed to like my Voltron/Guardians of the Galaxy cross over here’s some more! :D Because Keith sees Lance as a disgusting heathen and… well… Rocket Pidge was necessary. + rover! (sorry it’s pretty sketchy)
I post more frequently on my Insta so if you wanna come say hi I’d love that! :D Thank you so much for everyone who followed me over the last 24 hours!! It means so much to me I couldn’t believe it.
