And You Know That I Know (That I Can't Live Without You) by negativefouriq

Summary
“But there are too many paladins,” Keith points out. “You said it yourself.”
Lance grabs a dishtowel, twisting it menacingly in his hands. Keith tries not to think about the scar he knows Hunk has from when Lance snapped a towel at him when they were kids, wrestling in the McClains’ kitchen. He fails.
“Do you actually have any braincells left in your head at all?”
“Yes, jackass. That’s why I did the math. I leave and the numbers add back up. Problem solved.”
“You leave and Voltron falls apart,” Lance snaps. “So maybe crunch those numbers again.”
Keith stills. Lance steps towards him, still glaring, still menacing, but he doesn’t move — he holds Lance’s gaze, searching his dark eyes, looking for the words he isn’t saying. Because Keith…Keith isn’t the one holding Voltron together. There was a reason his heart caught in his throat when Lance came to him downtrodden and talked about being a seventh wheel. There’s a reason his duffel is packed, a reason he’s talked to Kolivan. He knows who needs to step aside.
“You just don’t get it,” Lance says, frustrated.

And The Words Are Stuck In My Throat (But You Hear Them Anyway) by negativefouriq

Summary
Lance places a cool hand on his shoulder, concerned, bin of counted bandages left abandoned behind him. Almost immediately his face coils in disgust.
“Aw, gross, you’re sweaty.”
But he doesn’t move his hand.
Keith stares.
How did he — how did he miss it, before?
“Keith?” Lance asks again, alarm clouding his face. “You okay, buddy?”
His fingers curve absentmindedly along the junction of Keith’s neck, and he leans in closer, and he smells so fucking good and he always does and Keith is lightheaded from more than just his cross-castle sprint.
“You’re in love with me,” he blurts, and he didn’t mean to say it like that but there’s no doubt in his words.

Summary
Lance has always wondered if fate was the only reason he ever had a shot with Keith...
One shot written for Day 12 of Keithtober 2023 - Prompt: Garrison
--
“Did...” he turned away shyly, “did you ever notice me when we were in the garrison?” Indigo eyes blinked owlishly at him. “Would you have paid attention and have seen me if all of this-” he looked around the room to indicate their adventures as Paladins of Voltron “never happened?”

Summary
“I am going to get eaten,” Keith says miserably. “My luck is going to wear out. I’m gonna say something stupid and offend your third cousin or trip over someone’s toddler and destroy your mother’s flan by crashing into the table and upending hot coffee on an elderly person. Then I’ll get arrested for assault and you’ll have to visit me in prison and my cellmate will make a comment about you or something and I’ll have to kill him and then I’ll get retried and the death sentence, probably, and then Red will bust me out of prison and cause intergalactic meltdowns and —”
Lance can’t hold back anymore. Quick as a dart he reaches out, fisting Keith’s collar, and yanks him over the gearshift, kissing him softly and soundly until Keith sighs, surprise fading into something calmer, relaxed. His hand comes up to cup Lance’s cheek.
“You need a Xanax,” Lance says gently as he pulls away.

OR: Keith is meeting Lance's entire extended family. He's a little peaked about it.He has nothing to worry about.

Summary
Keith is a great stuntman, especially when it comes to cars. But, when something goes wrong during a demolition derby, his best friend might be too late to save him.
Day 21 of Keithtober 2022 - Prompt: Disaster
Day 4 of Keithtober 2023 - Prompt: AU of Choice (Hospital)--
But tonight was different. Tonight was bad. This had never happened before at any of the shows he'd been to, or to any of the other drivers, and Hunk wondered what went wrong as he functioned on autopilot and launched himself over the barricade from the bleachers. Before he could get too close, carnival staff grabbed him and held him back. “Keith!” The flames danced before Hunk, taunting him.

Summary
Lance has always been a bit more sensitive to things like magic and spirits. Just something he can sense, but isn't necessarily drawn to or seeks out on his own. Until he starts having dreams of a man he's never met and wondering why he spends his waking hours feeling like he's mourning someone's death. After the dreams become a daily occurence, Lance goes on (what he believes is) a wild goose chase to sate his curiosity and, hopefully, end his melancholic feelings.
Day 9 of Keithtober 2022 - Prompt: Ghost
Day 1 of Keithtober 2023 - Prompt: Family--
There was no way this was just something he had dreamed up, not after all the build-up conversing with this man for several weeks. This man was real and was seeking him out. Maybe not necessarily him specifically, but his soul was looking for someone to help him.
“...I have to get to the bottom of this...” Lance murmured as he wiped the sweat from his brow.
